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 close the door of my car and drove from the ice cream spot at the speed of lightning. I didn't listen to the screams of people, I just needed to get to where I'm going.My heart raced and my mind consumed with Carina's voice. “It's Sophia, she just got, the Mansion was ransacked,” I just needed to get to the mansion, I needed to see it for myself, if my employees were safe and how damaged the building is.I sped through the streets, weaving in and out of traffic, my tires screeching and making a lot of loud noises as I took sharp turns. I didn't care about the danger or the consequences. I just needed to get to where I want to be at the moment.As I drove, my phone kept ringing non stop. It was Carina, trying to reach me, I ignored it. She should know better than to call me whenever I'm driving, especially during an emergency.I finally got to Sophia's mansion and she was standing by the side entrance, I got out of the car and Martin walked towards me.“How bad is it?” I ask
JACOBI watched as she drove off in a car like someone whose house is on fire. How did she know about the auction?What am I even doing, of course she knows about the auction. She probably found out the same way I did, on the website.I didn't even say a word about my company to her, maybe she could help or maybe she is the one behind it. Besides the irresistible attraction I know she has for me I know she has a lot of hate and revenge against me.I got into my car with my ice cream and drove straight to Braden's house. He will have an idea of what we can do.Hopefully, Maria, his wife, doesn't kick me out. I set the ice cream on the passenger seat and drove off. I know I said some nasty things to Aurora during our marriage against ice cream.I just wanted her to think I had a negative thing against it but I love ice cream. The flavor and the sweetness it gives to my tongue bring chills down my spine.I looked at the ice cream and back on the road, my mind filled with how it would ta
