AURORA

I have been in a moving vehicle for the better part of ten hours. Wherever my captors are taking me, they don't seem to have an idea what they are doing.

This can't be LeVert, he won't make such a mistake by hiring amateurs, even if he is doing it by himself. He has enough experience to do it right.

Suddenly the vehicle stopped moving, the back of the vehicle opened and I was brought out. One of them was about to speak when the other one shut him up without speaking.

I kept my mouth shut, I need to be brave, for myself and for my family. My wedding is in a few hours along with Carina's and there is no way I'm missing it.

They tied the blindfold around my eyes even tighter, causing the darkness to engulf me.

The rough fabric of the blindfold pressed harder against my eyes, sending a jolt of sharp pain across my temples. Darkness was absolute now, not just the absence of sight but the weight of uncertainty pressing down on me. I tried to focus on my breathing, forcing myself to s

    AURORAI sat on the sofa as the Doctor’s words continued to echo in my head.“I’m sorry, Mrs. Crane, only time will tell.” I held my tummy tightly as I tried to shut the words out.That didn’t work, but the sound of heels landing on the floor did.“You thief!” That was Katherine, Jacob's mistress.“What’s going on?” Jacob came out of his study, along with his mother and sister from their respective rooms.“I found the jewelry your Mom has been looking for,” she said to Jacob and then looked at me. “She stole it.” Gasps of surprise and anger left everyone's lips, including mine.There was a bit of silence, then I turned to Jacob, my husband.“Jacob, please. I will never do such a thing. She is lying.” I pleaded on my knees. This isn’t the first time this has happened. I have been able to rescue myself from Katherine’s lies and deceit, but this time it seems impossible.“Mother,” Jacob faced his Mom, “is this the jewelry you have been looking for?” he asked her.“Yes, it is,” Christina

    AURORAI could feel all eyes on me as Steve walked into the room. It felt like nobody was on my side. Why would they be? They have no reason to be. My husband, who should be on my side, is just looking for ways to get rid of me. The same with Katherine, who just wants to take my place. Christina and Amy just want to get rid of me for no reason even after making me the head maid of the household.I smiled bitterly as Steve came forward. Once he tells the truth, all of this will be over.“Steve, do you know who this woman is?” Jacob asked him.He turned to look at me and I nodded for him to respond.“Don’t look at her,” Jacob said to him. “Now answer me. Do you know this woman and has she been to this house before today?”“Yes, sir,” that was Steve's reply. I was shocked and murmurs filled the room.“In fact, I have seen her more than once in the compound with Mrs. Crane,” he continued and my eyes felt like they were going to pop out.“What!” I screamed, “What do you mean, Steve?” I ask

    AURORAI held the divorce papers in my hands as I was led out of the jail cell.I'm in a cell after being accused of stealing a piece of jewelry, and my husband handed me divorce papers.“Where am I going?” I ask the officer leading me.“To the courthouse to get your sentence,” he said.“I won't get a trial to prove my innocence?” I asked.“According to the judge, the evidence is too overwhelming and the lady you sold to already took a plea bargain.”“I didn't sell anything to anyone.” I stood my ground.“When telling me won't do you any good. The law is the law,” he said.“Then the law should protect me because I'm innocent.”“Or you are just unlucky,” he mocked and his fellow officers laughed.I kept my head down as the mockery intensified.It's unusual for cops to joke like this. Katherine is probably behind this. She's been making my life a living hell ever since I married Jacob, and now she's getting the victory.The journey to the courthouse wasn't far. A drive of about fifteen

    AURORAI opened my eyes, and my nostrils were filled with the scent of lavender. I turned my head and saw a perfume dispenser.Looking around, I didn't see the confined four-square walls typical of a prison. Instead, I found myself in a spacious, elegantly furnished room with high ceilings and large windows that allowed the golden morning light to flood in.The walls were adorned with beautiful paintings, and a luxurious carpet covered the floor. I felt the softness of the silk sheets beneath me and realized I was lying in an ornate, king-sized bed.A gentle breeze rustled the sheer curtains, and I could hear the distant sound of birds singing. My heart raced as I tried to make sense of my surroundings.This was a far cry from the cold, harsh reality of the cell in the police station I had grown accustomed to. Had I been dreaming? Was this some elaborate trick?I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up, feeling the plush carpet under my bare feet. I walked to the window an

    JACOBI held the picture in my hands and stared at it for a while.That's been the theme of my days for the past five years. Looking at the picture of an empty police van with no Aurora in it.I picked up another picture, a snapshot of her taken at the station.I can't believe she's gone. I can't believe I didn't believe her or let her know how much I loved her.But because of my pride and arrogance, I may have lost her.Her voice rang in my head. Her words never seemed to stop tormenting me, day and night.Most nights I wake up to her voice, screaming at me to believe that she was innocent.I didn't spare her a glance as they took her away, and I haven't seen her since.The police believed she was kidnapped, but why?Who would kidnap Aurora, and why?They didn't seem to have answers to this question, and neither do I. Even after years of searching for her and answers to my questions, and employing private investigators to help.Nobody seems to know where Aurora is and what happened t

    AURORAI could feel the rage rising inside of me as my eyes meant with his. Instantly my feelings weren't my own anymore.The rage was there but I could also feel a sense of happiness by just looking at him. This feeling has to be blocked away if I'm going to defeat him. I have to show an insane amount of anger or hatred towards him, because knowing Jacob, he is going to take advantage of it.“What are you doing here?” The sound of his voice made my thighs move, I mentally cautioned myself.“Back to your old ways, I see,” he said, moving to and fro around the office.“What exactly is that supposed to mean?” I asked with a lot of anger in my office.“A lot actually,” his voice hinted with a sense of mockery, “my mind has been in awe as of how you were exonerated.”“Don't judge a book by it's cover,” I said to him, swinging my chair in different directions, I then moved forward, “didn't your Mom teach you that,” I could see him swelling up, “how is she doing anyway?”“Keep my mother's

    JACOBI watched as she walked away from us. She looks amazing. Her gown brought out some amazing curves I didn't know she had. Maybe if I had been paying attention I would have.Her hair flowed to her back, and her makeup blended with her skin. She looks stunning and looks like a goddess.I watched as men drooled on her and it made my blood boil.“Some wine, baby?” I heard Katherine's voice. I still don't understand why she insisted on following me to this event.“Yeah, whatever,” I said without paying attention.She grumbled and left my side. I walked around the event floor, carefully following Aurora with my eyes.Her laughter filled my ears and soothe me. She was standing with another woman, who was guiding her around.My eyes landed at the CEO and a frown grew on my face.Where was he when I came to the office earlier?Maybe he was done with Aurora and needed space. I didn't mean to say those things to her. But she can't see that I'm in love with her or I will be viewed as weak

    AURORAImmediately his lips came on mine, I kicked him against his groin and gave his face a touch of my hands.“How dare you?” I looked at him, panting.“You come in here with your mistress and still dare to kiss me?” I asked rhetorically.He couldn't speak, he looked at me shocked.“I gave myself to you all those years and when a fabricated lie was brought before you, you couldn't wait to get rid of me without even knowing the truth and now you think you can manipulate me,” I spoke without taking a breath.“I didn't know, Aurora. I didn't know,’’ I could hear the remorse in his voice.Well, it's too late for that.“Well, you do now. You should go,” I said and turned around, backing him.“You need to leave right now,” I heard Spencer's voice and I turned around.The area where we are is dark so I couldn't see him clearly until he charged towards Jacob.“Don't hit him, Spencer!” I yelled.“Stay away from my sister and my family,” Spencer spat at him.Jacob just grumbled at walked away

    JACOB“I can't believe you are getting married!” Braden slammed into me. Trying to ruffle me up a little.“Says the married man,” Andre said to him. It's funny how we are all friends now and we have Aurora to thank for that. She brought all of us together. That's my future wife.“What are you smiling about?” Grey asked me.“You better not be thinking about my sister in some certain way in front of me,” Martin said and we all laughed.I have asked all of them to be mine and Andre best men including Michael, Ryan and Clay. Liam insisted on being the DJ for the service. Right now we are having our bachelor party and having loads of fun. “Thank you for allowing Aurora to do this with Carina,” I said to Andre holding his shoulder.“Are you kidding, Carina will have my head if I don't agree, plus we get to give the world the wedding of the year,” he said and I smiled.“Good man,” I shook his hands and walked towards Grey. “Hey bro,” he turned around and placed his phone in his pocket.“Th

    AURORAONE YEAR LATER“What about this?” I walked out of my closet in a black gown filled with diamonds and a white off shoulder handle.“Perfect,” Carina squeaked. I rolled my eyes and walked deeper into the room.“People see me on this, they might think tonight is my rehearsal dinner,” I said to the soon to be bride.“Oh come on, you are the chief bridesmaid, you are meant to dress as elegant as the bride,” Aubrey said, adding her own wisdom to the situation.“Well, apart from that, I will think you guys are just playing dress up with me for me to impress Jacob,” I said to them and they both laughed.“Why are you laughing?” I asked them.“Nothing, just remembering how you blunted out I love you to him,” Carina said, still laughing. I rolled my eyes, trying to hide my blushing face.“Aubrey smirked, “Oh Aurora, you were so abstract about it. It feels like you have been bottling that emotion.”“Maybe I was. I guess my body moved before my mind,” I said to her.“And your timing couldn'

    AURORA“Okay, alright. Be safe,” I said and hanged up the call.“Is everything alright?” Carina asked me. I looked at her with my puffy eyes. I can't believe I asked her to move her wedding date all because of LeVert. I feel so sad and heartbroken.“No, don't do that,” she said, hugging me. “Everything will work out. We just need to protect Anna and Mary and we all will be safe.”“But your wedding…”“Can wait,” Andre said, standing beside her. “We all need to be together right now.” He took my hands and I nodded.“Okay,” I exhaled, wiping my face with my other hand. “Let's do this then.”“The girls are pulling up,” Aubrey said to me. We raced towards the car to stop the paparazzi from taking pictures of them.“How come there are so many paparazzi?” Madeline asked as we moved through the crowd.“LeVert probably called them here to witness whatever he had planned,” I said to her.We finally got to the car and help Linda protect the girls from the cameras.“Aunt Aurora,” Anna and Mary hu

    JACOB“What does Christina has to do with any of these?” I asked her.“I'm sure you heard from your stepbrother, Grey?” She asked.“Lara, what are you doing?” Aurora asked her. “Grey is not to be trusted.”“I was the one who told Grey to meet with you,” she said looking at me. “He is trying to make amends. You should let him.” I looked at Aurora, who just shrugged her shoulders.“So what about Christina?” Amy asked, standing in front of her. “You can't just drop a bombshell like that and not say anything to it.”“I was getting to it,” she handed her USB drive to Liam, “here, input it to the system,” Liam looks at me hesitant to do it. “Do it Liam,” I nodded.”A lot of files displayed on the bug screen. “These are all of the operations I could find that can be linked to LeVert, including serial killing of high profile women.” “Which one involves my step mom?” I asked, and a more detailed document displayed on the screen.“Wait,” Aurora scoffed. “You have this much evidence and LeVert

    JACOBI kept pacing around, it's been almost two hours since Aurora left and she isn't back yet.“Martin is with her,” Madeline said to me, “he won't let anything happen to her.”“But if he can't,” I said and she looked confused. “Whatever is going on is beyond his power,” she sighed and shook her head.“Hey, you have to think good thoughts bro,” Amy said, holding my shoulder. “Aurora didn't come this far to give up or jeopardize everything.”“She is right, J,” Braden whispered, standing beside me. “You have to be able to trust Aurora, trust that she knows what she is doing,” he said and scoffed, “because she has been doing this long before she returned back to her life.”“I just want to protect her, want to keep her safe,” I said to him.“I know bro, but she got this and you know it.”I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down, even though every fiber of my being screamed to go after her. Braden was right, though. Aurora had proven time and again that she could handle herself.

    AURORA“Thought I would recognize you?” I asked her.“Hoped,” she said, jerking her hands from Martin who was still looking shocked.“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked her with gritted teeth.“I don't know, hiding from my brother,” she said and I scoffed.“You are not that bumped into me,” I said to her. “You were at the precinct.”“No, you only saw me at the precinct when I came out, not before,” she said and I looked at Martin.“I will prove it to you,” she said and I turned to her.“How?” I asked, folding my hands. She tried to move but Martin stopped her. “Let her go, Martin. She knows she needs us,” Captain Marlow scoffed and walked deeper into the room.“Here,” she placed a material over her head and I could see the face of the woman we saw in the CCTV camera video.“Unbelievable,” I whispered. “Have you seen something like this before?” I asked Martin.“Heard of it but haven't seen one this real,” he said as Captain Marlow took it off.“Spent almost all the money I co

    AURORA“You know he is just scared for you,” Martin turned around in the car and said to me.“If you are referring to Jacob then don't. I don't need a lecture right now,” I said and he sighed.“He just wants to protect,” I glared at him and he raised his hands in defense. “That's all I'm going to say,” he turned around facing the traffic.“I have been on my own for a while, I can handle myself,” I said out loud.“I thought you guys have moved past that?” Martin asked me.“Move past what?” I asked, feeling confused.“Move past what he did almost ten years ago?” He asked and I sighed.“We have but he has to know that I didn't have him or you protecting me then and I was still able to survive Copper and being kidnapped,” I said to him.“I get that but he is here now and from the look of things he wants to protect you at all cost.”“Why do you think I brought Michael with us?” I asked and Micheal smiled. “At least Michael can report to him if anything happens.”“We are here, Miss Aurora,”

    AURORA“Hey,” I kissed Jacob on the lips as I took off my jacket.“I miss you,” he said, kissing my neck. I bit my lips smiling.“I know but we have work to do,” I pushed him slightly and walked over to the workstation he had set up in his penthouse.“Are you sure this place is secure?” Martin asked him as he walked in.“Yes, nobody knows about this place, not even Christina,” he said and I sighed.“Does Grey know about this place?” I asked him, for a while he has been having a blind spot when it comes to his step brother.“Jacob?” I called his name when I noticed he was hesitant to answer the question.“Yes he does,” he said and I dropped my hands loudly against my laps.“Why would you do such a thing? Grey is not to be trusted,” I said to him.“Look, Grey might have done a lot of things in the past but he helped us back in my airport.”“Or he brought you there to set you up along with Martin,” Braden said.“I agree with Braden,” Amy said and Jacob glared at her.“Don't do that, they
