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
JACOBI opened up my eyes and she was here anymore.“Aurora! Aurora! Aurora!!!!” I felt a heavy splash of water on my body.“Huh, she's not here,” I could hear the smug in Maria's voice.“What the hell are you doing dreaming about a woman sent to prison?” Sounded rather pissed at me. I guess she is a fan of Aurora.“I didn't…” I thought about telling her more but there is no use arguing with Maria especially now that she is pregnant.“You should let her go, or things are going to get nasty,” she said and maybe she was right. Especially with Katherine not leaving my life.I nodded at her and she took the plate from the table, “you love her,” she said.“I don't know,” I stammered, “if I love her now why didn't I love her before,’’ I said to her.“Because sometimes you men like to be challenged and a powerful woman does that,” she said, it sounded like I'm getting a lesson.*But Katherine is a powerful woman,” I didn't realize what I had said until it kept out.Maria busted out laughing,
KATHERINEI watched as he took her away in his arms and she smiled. I'm guessing just for the show. Nobody knows apart from this inner circle that they have been married before.That's the leverage I have been holding against Jacob for the past five years and If they somehow get together again. I will lose everything, that's for sure.I can't let that happen. I have come too far to let Aurora take everything away from me again. I defeated her once and I will do it again.I watched as Maria chatted with Braden and a man that could be the target. Even when Aurora disappeared it took a while for Jacob to see me. He always ended up in Braden's house despite Maria's dislike of him.Aurora's laughter room and everyone smiled at the sound of it. What Jacob is saying to her, that is making her smile and giggle.He didn't say a word to me when I entered the building and stood by his side. I did a lot of things to look this beautiful for him and he still doesn't regard me.I gave myself a good
AURORAHis tongue danced along with mine and I felt like I was in heaven. I sat on the basin of the bathroom and I felt his hands on my ass.“Aurora,” he moaned out my name and I opened my eyes to see where I was. I thought it was one of my daydreams but it isn't. I'm actually here, kissing my ex husband.Jacob was in front of me, his eyes locked on mine. We were both breathing heavily and I could feel the tension between us.Then I remembered where we were, the gala. We were in the bathroom of course but definitely surrounded by people. I looked around the bathroom, trying to get my bearings.“What are we doing, Jacob?” I asked him, trying to sound calm but deep down I was cursing myself for making out with him.He smiled at me, his eyes still locked with mine. “I think we just got carried away,” he said.I nodded and pushed him slightly and got down from the basin. I checked my gown and saw the stain from the champagne Katherine spilled on me had minimized.“Where are you going?” Ja
AURORAIt's been a couple of weeks since the auction was canceled right at the gala. The look on Jacob's face was of relief and pain.That will mean he isn't the one behind the auction. I mean why would I even think he was the one behind it. I guess Carina is rubbing on me.I inhaled deeply as I closed the document on the table. This is the fifth document I have gone through today and it doesn't seem like I am ending anytime soon.My make out with Jacob still clouds my mind and it seems like the only thing I can think of.I have tried to pour myself into work but he keeps coming into my mind and I can't seem to shut it off.“What the hell?” I muttered, taking a second look at the document in front of me.It seems like a certain amount of money has been leaving the company's account for the past two months.Which is really werid because I have been in the company for more than six months.I picked up my phone, “Carina can you come over to my office?” I said to her on the phone.I kept
AURORAIt has been a couple of days since we found out Kent has been released from his so-called prison and in that time, he has been able to be employed in Crane’s Industry, making him my competition. Andre was so pissed about it. He wanted to march down to the courthouse to demand what happened.“It’s no use Andre,” I said to him, softly. I get how he is feeling. If my attacker was released from prison, I would have a hard time, coming to terms with it.“I just can’t believe Jacob would do something like this, poach Kent,” Carina said with disappointment in her voice.“Yeah,” I said softly, clicking my pen on the table.“We need to respond,” Madeline who hasn’t said a thing spoke.I chuckled, “this isn’t the Mafia, Madeline. They didn’t steal our cocaine,” I said to her.“But they might have. An employee who made threats against you and attacked another employee, almost sabotage a deal was just given a free ride by Crane’s Industry. It might be a call to arms,” she said. I looked a
AURORAI stared at the one figure in my past, I haven't been able to find. He seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth but right now he is staring at me.“Miss Aurora,’’ he called out my name again and I felt a rush of anger go through me.“Don't…call my name,” I thought about yelling but my eyes fell on the beautiful child in front of us.“I know you must hate me,” he said with his head down, “I didn't mean to say those things all those years ago,” “It's too late for any type of apology, Steven,” I said, trying to walk away.“Why are you mad at Daddy,” the child's voice echoed in my ear.I turned around and smiled at her then looked at him, “you have a daughter,” I said to him.“She is the reason I said those things. Her mother had a very long labor and the doctors said the only way to stop it was a CS,” he said, almost crying.“Why didn't you tell me or Jacob at the time. You had to trust Katherine?” I asked him.“I didn't know it would result in you going to prison. I
JACOBThe rain seems to be pouring heavier than the weather forecast predicted. I'm supposed to be on my way down to a construction site but I can't. I'm stuck at home with my mother and sister, who seem to be having a time of their lives by making mine miserable.“Mom, I told you. I'm taking a break from Katherine because I can and I want to,” I said to her for the tenth time.“What do you have against her?” She asked and I cast an annoying look at her “What do you mean by what I have against her? Huh?” I asked, because I don't seem to understand why she is always supporting her even after we found out Aurora wasn't behind the jewelry theft.“What does she have on you, Mom?” I asked and my sister Amy chuckled.“Something funny, Amy?” I asked her and she pouted.“She doesn't have anything on me. I just think that you should be kind to her considering what she has on you,” she said, turning the tables around.“I can handle myself mother but I'm not sure you can,” I said to her firmly
