CARINAI could feel a lot of wet surfaces around me, one me. I tried to move but my body didn't let me.The sound of ambulances filled my ears and I couldn't shut it out.“What's happening?!” I yelled but nothing or nobody seems to be giving me an answer.“Aurora,” I called out to the one person who I know will save me but she didn't answer as well.I lifted my fingers up and touched the liquid that was flowing down from my head.“Oh my God,” I cried out, looking at the blood on my fingers. I looked up to see the car above me and my body on the bare floor.“Ma'am, you were just in an accident, don't try to move!” I heard someone yell but I can't tell who it was.“Where is Aurora?” I cried out.“We are getting you out right now,” I couldn't feel a thing but I was brought out of the wreckage of the car.“You need to find my friend,” I said to the person standing about me.“We are doing everything we can ma'am,” she said and I looked at her.“What do you mean by that? Where is Aurora?!”
CARINABoth Andre's voice and Madeline were over each other trying to figure out how to get us out of this mess. How could we have not seen this coming?“This is a total disaster,” I said to both of them, going through the stack of documents on the table.“I was dealing with Kent more than Charles. If I had known he was behind,”“Now is not the time to do that, Andre,” I said, cutting him off, “we have to figure out how to cut off Charles before he does any real damage,” I said to both himself and Madeline.“You need to take it easy though,” Madeline said and I glared at.“Don't tell me that,” my voice sounded harsh. “This is Aurora's baby and I won't let it fall all because everyone is trying to see if I will break instead of doing their damn jobs!” I yelled, standing up from my seat.I walked to the door of the office and stopped, “we need to figure out a hail Mary or else everything goes to shut,” I opened up the door and walked out.Being in Aurora's office isn't doing me any good
AURORAI kept looking at the kids playing, wondering how this is my life right now. I have two lovely children and a third on its way and a husband who loves me with all his heart.Jacob and I decided not to know the sex of the baby like we did the twins. We wanted it to be a surprise for them, to have them grow into the responsibility.“What are you thinking about babe?” I felt an arms wrap around my baby bump. I chuckled and rested on his shoulder.“Just how lucky and grateful I am,’’ I said to him and he turned me around to look at his handsome face.“I am the lucky and grateful one,’’ he said and I chuckled.“We both should be. We survived Katherine, your uncle, our adversaries in each of our companies. We have a lot to be grateful for,’’ I said to him and suddenly his expression changed.“I guess you are right,’’ he kissed my cheeks and led me to the chair and squatted in front of me.“There is something I have to tell you,” he said and I blinked my lashes.“What is it?” I asked
AURORAI opened up my eyes and I could hear the sounds of the machine all around me. I could hear my heart pounding in my ears and I knew that's my anxiety kicking.“Get me out of here,” I yelled at Jacob, who tried to stop me from removing my IV drip.“What are you doing here?” I asked him and he looked surprised at my answer, “you left with her. You chose Katherine. Get away from me!” I yelled, pulling out the needle from my skin.I hissed at the pain I felt and glanced at my skin, “blood,” I whispered and my eyes closed.The beeping sound of the machines continued and all I wanted was to get that sound out of my head.“Aurora,” I heard Madeline's voice over me but I didn't want to open my eyes.“We know you are awake, come on girl,” I felt her hands on my face, wiping away my tears.“I don't want to, I'm scared,” I said with more of the tears flowing down my cheeks.“You are strong babe, you can do this,” she said but I shook my head.“Come on love,” I heard my Mom's voice and I re
AURORA“That's enough, Carina. You can stop doting on me now,” I said to her as she helped me to the sofa in the living room.It feels weird being here. I have been confined to the hospital for weeks, breathing hospital air.“You can't tell me not to take care of you,” she said, rolling her eyes.*You were ready to leave weeks ago,” I said, laughing. I didn't hear her say anything for a while so I looked up.“How long are you going to keep holding that against me?” She asked, her voice quiet.“I don't know, Carina,” I said to her, my voice low as well, “I know we are good but I was really disappointed when you said you were leaving,” I said to her.“I'm not leaving anymore,” she took my hands, “that's just a side of me I try to hide. A jealous and bitchy side. I'm really sorry, Aurora,” she said, fighting back her tears.“Hey, you don't have to cry,” I said, wiping her cheeks, “it's all good. I promise,” I said to her.“Are you sure?” She asked, using a weird accent.“I'm sure,” I sai
AURORA “What does he mean by you were poisoned, Aurora?” Carina asked me while I was still trying to process it all.“Give her a minute, Carina,” Madeline said to Carina, taking my phone from me.I looked at everyone in the room. The look of sadness and anger in my security team.“Guys,” I said, looking at them, “I signed up for this when I decided to be CEO,” I said to them.“We know that ma'am but it only means we are not doing our jobs well,” one of them said and Martin glared at him for speaking.“It's okay, Martin,” I touched his arm, “they can say their minds,” I said to him.I looked at the security guys and took a deep breath, “right now I'm okay and the Doctor doesn't know how the poison got into my body,” I said to them.“Yeah, he only stated you were poisoned,” Madeline said reading the text, “it also looked like he wanted to write more and sent this abruptly,” she said and the room became tense.“Guys stop,” I said, taking my phone away from Madeline. “I will see the Doct
AURORAI ran out of my parents house with them trailing behind me. I haven't seen Sophie in a while and she asking me for help means it's really dire.“You need to be careful, you can't take care of everyone,” my Mom said as I got to my car.“Mom, that's my godchild. I can't just leave Sophie hanging. I have heard from you both but right now I need to go,” I said, taking the door from her and closing it up.“I just need you to be careful. I can't be having that scare of losing you every two weeks,” she said and I clicked my tongue.“I'm fine, Mom and I'm going to see the doctor for more Information soon,” I said to her and there was a bit of fear in her eyes.“You are?” She asked, her voice low and shaking. My Dad moved closer and held her with his hands. What a lover boy.“I have to know more about how the poison got inside of my body. I have to find out if it was intentional or a mistake,” I said, starting up the engine of the car.“Okay, be safe,” my Dad said as my Mom was about to
AURORAI raced towards the door to see Carina having it with Jacob. She was the one doing all the talking but he just kept mute listening to her.“Aren't you going to say anything?” She and he didn't respond.“What are you doing, Carina?” I asked her, she looked at me and sighed.“I just wanted to know why he didn't visit when you were in the hospital,” she said and I sighed.“He did,” I said to her and she gave me a puzzled look.“What do you mean? Is this another one of your hallucinations?” She asked and I grew uncomfortable especially with the eyes that surrounded me.“It wasn't a hallucination,” I said to her, “when I first woke up, he was hovering over me. My guess was is I woke up screaming,” I said to her and she walked towards me and hugged me.“I'm sorry for causing a scene,” she said with her puppy face and handed me the bag of clothes.“I brought all your essentials so you won't have to ask for anything,” she said and I nodded.“Thank you,” I hugged her and walked back in
