AURORA

I watch him go up into the crawlspace. He looks flushed but there was a hint of fear in his eyes. Moreso his question baffles me.

“How much do I hate?” I scoff as the elevator doors opens up. How dare him asks me that sort of question.

The doors open up and a lot of guns were pulled on me. “Goodness!” I screamed.

“Stand down!” I held Martin yelled, himself and Carina walked towards me as I got down from the elevator.

“What was that for?” I asked, a bit shaken about guns being pulled on me.

“Sorry ma’am, we have been looking for you,” Martin said.

“Yes, where have you been?” Carina asked, pulling me for a hug, “I was so scared,” I hugged her back.

“I’m fine,” I said laughing, “I don’t know what happened. I guess time went by,” I said, remembering everything that happened in the elevator.

“Are you sure?” I heard Carina asked, “seems your neck is your new favorite part of your body?” she said and I realized my hands has been on my neck, caressing it, trying to remember Jacob’s tou

    AURORAI watched as the little girl in front of me slept. Her chest rises to the rhythm of the machines that surround her.How can one live like that and for how? She looks so peaceful and doesn't even care about her surroundings.I bent forward and my fingers trailed around her face, “what happened to you, sweetheart?” “What's making you be like this?” I asked, wondering if she could hear me.The doors of her hospital room opened and I stood up immediately and straightened up my dress.“What's your name?” I asked the woman who walked in. She ignored me instead and walked up to the girl on the bed.I walked towards her and stood in front of her. “You will answer me,” I said with anger in my voice.“How did you find me?” She asked, looking afraid.She should be afraid, after all she was the one who nearly ruined my life.“You will answer me first,” I said to her with authority.“I am Linda,” she said and I scoffed. I expected her kind of name.“The kind of name for someone like you,”

    AURORAI walked into the building and everything smelt wealthy, nobody would know this place was invaded last week but who would tell.I walked through the red carpet towards the center of the main affair. My mini party for powerful women is a success.“Hi, good to see you,” I greeted the CEO of another company as I walked by.“Girl!” I heard a familiar voice squeal behind me, I turned around immediately.“Sophia!” We jumped on each other. Despite her being related to Jacob our relationship has grown more than I could ever imagine.“What do you think?” I asked her, pouting.“Brilliant. I love it,” she said taking two glasses of wine from the waiter.“Careful,” I held her maintain balance.“Oh I'm fine. Just a little bit tipsy,” she said and took a sip from her wine.“How much have you had to drink?” I asked her and she looked like I had cut her in a act.“Just a little but I will be fine,” she said and walked away from me.I was about to catch up to her when someone who stood in front

    AURORAI couldn't see a thing and it felt like I was in a bubble of darkness.“Help!” I yelled hoping someone would get to me before I make a mess of myself.But it was too late, I could hear the flashes of Cameras and noises from the reporters that surrounded me.“My Goodness! Aurora!” I heard Carina scream behind me.She pulled me out of the mob of reporters and I felt surrounded by my security.“What happened?” She asked, everywhere felt stuffy and I couldn't breathe.“Martin, pick her up,’’ I heard and suddenly I wasn't on my feet anymore but I was moving. What's happening? Who was that woman and how did she know?************************************************I sat in front of the window of my bedroom, staring at the garden in front of me. The last few days haven't been fair to me and I have been confined inside the walls of my mansion, apparently for my own safety.Someone tried to kill me in my party and the police and even my own security still haven't been able to identify

    KATHERINEI kept tapping my heels against the floor expecting Jacob to pay attention.Ever since Aurora came back from the dead apparently, he has been acting differently. He knows I have something against him but these days he seems to not pay attention to me.“Jacob, darling, did you hear me?” I asked, trying to appease him.“Katherine, I'm busy and I do not have time for you,” he said, not looking up from his laptop.“What's going on?” I asked myself. Did Aurora forgive him? Are they back together?All these questions filled my mind as I watched him. But right now I need him to listen to me.Aurora managed to get those paintings and jewelry just to taunt me. What she doesn't know is that those things are worth more than she thinks they are.“You need to listen to me, Jacob!” I slammed my hands against his table, shaking everything he was doing.“What's wrong with you, Katherine?” He flared up, looking away from his laptop.Now I have his attention.“I wouldn't have done that if you

    AURORAI have been receiving a lot of positive comments ever since I gave the world a more determined me.The video gained a wide audience and favoritism and I gained a lot of new followers. I received an invitation from some brands to have a sit down but I would need to have a talk with my board of directors on that.“What's the hold up?” I asked my driver, because we have been stuck in the same position for a while.Carina isn't with me. She had gone ahead to prepare for the meeting. There are a lot of things to do and I want to be a step ahead.“Just the traffic light, ma'am,” he said and concentrated on the road.I took a glance at him and turned to my phone, I connected my earbuds to my phone and opened up the message Katherine sent to me.The message had been previously opened and sex sounds filled my room. It would be weird listening to it out loud in the car with my driver, hence the earbuds.The video opened and her moans filled my ears but that wasn't my focus. It was Jacob,

    AURORAI screamed inside my head at the sound of such great news. I could feel my eyes sparkle but I braced myself for another news.“How did you find out?” I asked both Madeline and Carina.“The link to the auction was sent out discreetly,” Carina said.My nose wrinkled, “don't you think that was too easy?” I asked.“No, I don't think so,” Madeline said, “we didn't get the link but other companies with portfolio not even half of ours got it,” I sat on the chair and crossed my legs, “what do you mean?”“I only got the link because a friend sent it to me. I think it was a deliberate act,” she said with an assurance.“You might be right but I have never heard of a CEO selling his own company,’’ I pressed my hands against my cheeks.“Maybe he is trying to cut his losses,” Andre said, “he can see that he can defeat you,”“True,” I frowned, “but I have never known Jacob to back down from a fight,” I said to them.Carina scoffs and I turned to face her, “he's not winning and he knows it,”

    JACOBI got to the hallway of the conference room in my company's building. This is the second time I'm feeling anxious to step into a room with people who want to take my job or my company.The first time was when my father announced me CEO, every eyes in the room threw daggers at me, especially my Uncle Evan, who wants the company for himself.I still haven't found out how my computer is being sold on an Auction site. Major stakes have been placed on the company and it is very close to being sold.“Nervous?” I heard Braden's voice beside me.“Like the first time,” I exhaled deeply.“You crushed that effortlessly,” he said, smiling and nodded to the guards to open up the doors.I inhaled and walked in, the boards were all seated. I stood in front of the door with it closed behind me. Braden moved to his seat but I remained where I was.Seeing I wasn't moving, they all stood up from their seats.“Morning, Mr. Crane,” they all greeted me, apart from my Uncle who just stood up.“Good m

    AURORAI hit my bed the moment I stepped into my room with Carina right behind me. I haven't said a word since we got here and I think she is starting to worry.“What happened?” She asks, I gave her a look wondering if she wasn't there to see what happened.“What happened is, Jacob hoed his way into getting that contract,’’ I said to her.“There is no way that happened,” she said, looking at me with disbelief.“So you think after all our sleepless nights and knowing what they would put together for their presentation that they somehow beat us?” I asked her.“I don't think that's what happened but you said it yourself Jacob likes to play with the rules except really backed up,” she said.“Well it looks like he is backed against a corner with his company on an auction website,” I said to her.I got up from the bed and walked into my closet. I took off my heels and placed them on the shelves, my low slippers were right underneath it.“I still think he did all that to make you jealous,” s

    AURORAI 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

    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
