CARINA“Shit,” I stared at the “no access,” notification on my laptop and grumbled at the sight.I have been on this for the past few weeks, I have been able to breach some firewalls but this seems to be eating at me.I promised Aurora, I will get whoever is trying to manipulate her. Whoever is behind this money trail is our best bet. I took my laptop with me and headed to the kitchen. I need more coffee. I stared at the pot on my bed stand.“This is a lot of work,” I said to myself as I got to the kitchen. I got to the coffee pot in the kitchen and it was empty.I ran my fingers across my hair and stared at the big large cup.The doorbell rang and I raised an eyebrow and checked my phone for the time. Aurora isn't arriving until an hour later and Andre is out of town. Maybe she decided to skip the party after all.“Aurora, why aren't you at the party?” I asked as I opened the door to see an unwelcome face.“Jacob,” I cleared my throat, “what are you doing here?” I asked him, trying

AURORAI watched as Martin and his men took the room apart, looking for clues about Carina. The look on their faces didn't seem to bring any assurance to me.Madeline is doing her best in talking with the police but their presence here just seems to irritate me, especially the presence of the detective who once accused me of being behind the invasion into my company.“I held Carina's coffee cup, she probably left her room to get more coffee to continue her work. Is that what happened? Did I place her in danger?My phone began to ring and I put it off and the sight of the caller's name. It was Andre, I'm sure he is just calling to tell me his progress but I don't want to break down on the call and have him lose focus.“Andre right?” I heard Madeline's voice beside me.“Yeah, I don't want to get him distracted,” I said to her.“I understand,” she said, looking at the police.“Let me guess they think I had something to do with it,” I said to her and she scoffed.“No, but they don't belie

AURORAI have been crawling up in my room since Carina's kidnapping. I couldn't shake off the feeling I was being watched ever since that day and it's giving me the creeps.It's bad enough that Diego is back in my life but I have to watch Jacob and Carina work together to figure out where he is.We still haven't heard anything from the police about some of the evidence we found where Carina was held, thankfully we took pictures.I stood up from my bed and headed to the bathroom, I slashed some water on my face and stared at the mirror.“You need to eat something,” I heard Diego's voice and I turned around, only to see myself in the very dark room he kept me all those years ago.“I won't until you tell me what you want from me,” I said, firmly at him.“Honestly, nothing really. I just want to be close to you,” his hands trailed my cheeks and I could still feel the chills down my spine.The part of town where I stayed in Spain was scared of Diego, I didn't realize that at first until he

AURORAI looked at both Carina and Jacob. Carina is trying to pitch us the idea and Jacob seems to be buying into it.“What do you think, Aurora?” I heard her voice like it sounded coming from a distance.“What?” I asked, trying to figure out what she said earlier.“You spaced again. What's going on?” She asked and I sighed.I stood from the sofa and began walking around the living room.“This is our only bet in catching him,” Jacob said to me.“Don't you think I know that?!” I yelled. “I want him out of our lives for good,” I said, pointing at Carina.“Then what's the problem?” Carina asked and I gave her a look.“I always had this feeling that we didn't escape on our own,” I said and she looked at me.“What do you mean? We fought our way out,” she said.“Yeah, with a bag and bucket against heavily armed men,” I said to her.“What are you saying, you think Diego wanted us to escape?” She asked and I nodded.“Well, that is just sick!” She said and sat on the sofa.I squatted beside he

AURORAThe artwork was placed at the entrance of Clinton's Empire company building. A lot of cars had passed and nothing seemed to be amiss.We are all locked up in the security room while my security guards along with Jacob's surround the streets.“Why hasn't anyone made a move?” Carina asked, I was just asking myself the same question.“We just need to hold on for awhile, someone will notice then Diego will notice,” Jacob said but Carina wasn't buying any of it.She exhaled loudly and walked away from us, I nudged at Andre to keep her company and calm.“If this doesn't work I just let everyone know I have a million dollar painting and they will come for it,” I said out loud.“You could put it in a museum,” Jacob said.“You are joking,” Madeline interrupted me from speaking.I placed my hands on my lips and in front of her, “it's okay Madeline, I got this,” I said to her.“Wow, she is protective,” he said.“Well, she has her reason,” I said to him, remembering what she had told me du

JACOBI watched as Andre held her back as she tried to charge towards me.I took a step back from where we stood and began to walk away.“You are nothing but a coward, Jacob Crane,” she said, “just a coward,” she whispered but I could hear her loudly.“I'm on the winning side, that doesn't make me a coward,” I said to her firmly, with my hands in my pocket.“To think you have learnt your lesson about letting people manipulate you,” she said to me and I scoffed.“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” I asked her.“It's just like what happened five years ago. Do you have to be manipulated before you see the truth right in front of you?” She asked and her words cut right through me.“You think you are winning?” She scoffs, “you are on the side with a sociopath and you call that a win?” She said, pointing at Diego.“He is going to lead you down to the bottom and even your mistress won't blackmail your way out for you,” she said and I inhaled silently, taking each of her words.I saw my

AURORAAs I looked at him walk towards me with a victory on his face, I couldn't help myself. I walked towards him and my fingers landed on his face.“How dare you show your face here?!” I yelled at him. My anger seems to be taking the better of me. Myself and Carina just found out Diego did make a video recording of us, probably something to jerk off on. “You need to calm down, Aurora,” he said to me and I scoffed.“Calm down? You stole from me, betrayed me and you expect me to be calm?” I asked him.“I didn't betray you,” he said, calmly.I folded my arms, “Enlighten me,” I said to him.He sighed and cleared his throat, “I had to make it look like I was Diego's side so I would get this,” he said, showing me a flashdrive.“What's that?” I asked.“I didn't look at it for more than a second but you should destroy it,” he said and handed it to me.I inserted the flashdrive in my phone, I didn't have to view the whole thing to know it's a video of me in my bathroom.“Shit!,” I cursed,

AURORAI picked up my headphones and opened my bedroom door as quietly as I could. I can't have Carina or Martin stopping me from getting my morning run today.I tiptoed in my sneakers and headed for the door, the living room was in darkness so I hurried.I got to the door and pulled the knob, “where do you think you are going?” The light switched on as I heard Carina's voice.“I'm going for a run around the compound,” I said to her and she scoffed.“Oh really, with your big headphones,” she said and I clicked my tongue.“Well, you can't stop me,” I said to her, she folded her arms. I opened the door to see Martin and two of the guards standing in front of me.“Good morning, Martin,” I said and turned around to the living room. I walked past Carina.I stopped in the bedroom hallway and walked back.“No!” I yelled, “I can't keep doing this,” I said to them.“We are only trying to protect you ma'am,” Martin said.“What he said,” Carina responded, not looking up from her laptop.“I need
