The Billionaire's Heiress Returns 46!
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

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
