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 could feel his cold hands on me and I felt irritated immediately.“You shouldn't do that,” I heard Diego's voice.“Do what?” I asked him, I looked at my surroundings, I don't remember this, I don't think I have ever been here.“Don't look so displeased when I touch you,” he said and I stared right into his eyes.“I would never like your touch on me,” I spat on his face.“Oh really, I bet you would like Jacob's,” he said and I jerked up.“Haa!” I held my head as I felt a banging headache.I touched something soft. It was then I realized I was on a bed.I got home immediately, “where am I?” I asked.The place looks cozy and warm. The kind of place you could run away to when the world seems so against you.“How did I end up here,” I tried to remember and was met with another banging headache.Then I remembered, I basically yelled at Martin not to have me followed and then a car pulled up beside me and a man asked me to get into the trunk then knocked me unconscious.“Oh my God!
AURORAWith a surge of adrenaline, I pushed him away, my heart racing with excitement."That's enough," I spat, trying to sound calm.Jacob grinned, his eyes glinting with amusement. "We're just getting started, Aurora," he whispered, his voice sending shivers down my spine.He turned me around and brought his lips unto my neck. I moaned at the feeling it gave to me.I could feel myself getting wet already, I couldn't control the moans that came out of my mouth.As Jacob's lips grazed my neck, I felt my body melt into his touch. It was like he had a magnetic pull over me, drawing me in with every kiss, every caress.I tried to push him away again, but my body seemed to have a mind of its own. My hands grasped his shoulders, holding him close as he devoured my neck with hungry kisses.His fingers danced down my spine, sending shivers down my back. I moaned again, the sound echoing through the room as I lost myself in the moment.But as the kiss deepened, I started to feel a pang of gui
AURORAI got out of the shower with my hair wet and heavy, I have been meaning to get a good wash out of it and today was just the perfect day.“You ready?” Carina asked as I sat down in front of my mirror.“Yeah,” I never really allow anyone to touch my hair other than Carina because she knows the right amount of treatment and beauty products to use to make my hair shine.“Are you okay, Aurora? You have been quiet for the past few days,” she asked me.“Yeah,” I lied, I haven't been okay ever since the day I had a full blown sex with Jacob in my head beside the room.It felt so real at the time and also right but waking up from my trance and finding out I was almost kidnapped made the whole thing sound like a make believe so I kept everything to myself.“Are you regretting what you said about Jacob in your last press conference?” She asked and I shook my head.“No, I'm not. I never knew him,” I said, looking at her through the window.“I bet he was hurt by your words,” she said and I
