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
JACOB“Turn around,” Aurora yelled and I did almost immediately. I had no idea she would be in the bathroom, there are a lot of them in the mansion.“Why did you pick this one to come to,” she said and I sighed.“I usually use this one during my visit,” I said, trying very hard to ignore the picture of her body in my head.“I have to go,” she said, scrambling for her things.I turned around and she was down on the floor, “I'm sorry,” I said, holding her hands. Our eyes met, it felt like the world was on our feet and it's just the two of us right here now.My eyes moved down to her cleavage, I could feel myself getting hard. She jerked her hands away from me and walked out of the bathroom.I ran my fingers through my hair. I had to go ruin the moment.I washed up and headed back to the living room. She was dressed up in a big hoodie and pants, feeding Olivia her food.“Matt's food is warmer but he is sleeping now,” she said and I nodded.I scratched my head wondering how I was going to
AURORAI stopped the car in front of the gate. My fingers laid on the horn button but I couldn't press it down.I looked behind to check on Gabriel and Matt, they were both fast asleep. I smiled looking at how cute they both were.They were so patient with me despite the chaos I created with Jacob. The security guard at the gate came out of his apartment and had a confused look on his face.I'm guessing he is wondering how long I have been here without alerting his attention.He opened the gate up and I drove straight into the compound.I got out and brought Olivia out of the car when the door of the house opened.“Aurora?” I heard Carina call my name. I turned around to see her and Madeline.“Hey guys,” I greeted and brought Gabriel out as well. “Can you help with their bags?” I asked.They both nodded, looking at me with confusion on their faces.I picked up Olivia and Gabriel in their crawler and headed inside of the house.The other guys aren't in anymore just Andre and Martin. “
AURORA“Let's get her to the bed,” Carina said and Martin hurried to my side.“Thanks Martin,” I said as he lifted me up, he nodded not saying a word. I could tell he was pissed.“I placed a call to the Doctor, no answer,” Madeline said as she walked back into my room.“Did you try his office phone number?” Carina asked her and she nodded.“Guys, I'm fine,” I said, feeling my legs again, “see look,” I sat on my bed and wiggled my toes.“I'm guessing it was just stress and all those talks about Jacob,” I told them but they were not buying it.“I want to believe that but something is telling me not to,” Madeline and I looked at her.“You are supposed to be on my side, not Carina's,” I said to her.“You shouldn't put a lot of pressure on yourself, Aurora,” Andre said, walking away, Martin followed closely behind.“Is everything okay, Martin?” I asked him. He opened his mouth to speak but couldn't find his words.I stood up gently, my legs touching the floor. I felt okay and a bit strong.
