AURORAImmediately his lips came on mine, I kicked him against his groin and gave his face a touch of my hands.“How dare you?” I looked at him, panting.“You come in here with your mistress and still dare to kiss me?” I asked rhetorically.He couldn't speak, he looked at me shocked.“I gave myself to you all those years and when a fabricated lie was brought before you, you couldn't wait to get rid of me without even knowing the truth and now you think you can manipulate me,” I spoke without taking a breath.“I didn't know, Aurora. I didn't know,’’ I could hear the remorse in his voice.Well, it's too late for that.“Well, you do now. You should go,” I said and turned around, backing him.“You need to leave right now,” I heard Spencer's voice and I turned around.The area where we are is dark so I couldn't see him clearly until he charged towards Jacob.“Don't hit him, Spencer!” I yelled.“Stay away from my sister and my family,” Spencer spat at him.Jacob just grumbled at walked away
AURORAThe ray of the sun burned through my eyes and it felt like a hangover. I didn't drink any alcohol last night, so what might this be?“Maybe it's as a result of your sexual hangover last night,” I heard myself in my head and my mind flashed back to it.I sat in front of the mirror, looking at my messy hair and flushed face. I look horrible but another thing I'm not feeling is Jacob's touch. I guess last night worked.Today marks a new beginning in my life. I have always been known as Jacob's wife, today I will be known as someone else.As my own woman, no boss to tell me what to do or a husband to tell me I'm not good enough for him.I put on my track suit and got ready to go for a run.“Going for a run?” Carina asked as soon as she saw me. I'm guessing from my outfit.“Good morning to you too,” I said to her.“Sorry, I haven't had coffee,” she said and I laughed.I could hear her yell at me as I raced out of the house.“Make sure nobody sees you,” I instructed my bodyguards.“W
AURORA “Wait what?! You were hallucinating?!" Carina asked, her voice filled with both mockery and concern. I had just finished telling her the whole werid story about what had happened in the coffee shop that morning, from seeing Jacob and making out with the coffee attendant just to get him jealous. I have vivid images of him that still lingered in my mind. "I don't know what I was doing or what happened," I said, shaking my head in frustration. "Might have been the coffee," I added, trying to brush it off, but Carina wasn't buying it.She scoffed, "I don't think it was the coffee, honey," her tone showing her skepticism. "Are you mocking me?" I asked, getting a bit defensive as I got into the car, taking in the warmth and the comfort that."I'm not mocking you, but I'm going to say something that you don't want to hear," she said, her eyes locked on mine with an unwavering intensity. "Here we go," I rolled my eyes, bracing myself for what was to come."You are still in love wi
JACOBI stared at my system as I watched the press conference Aurora was giving to the world inside the building of Clinton's Empire.When I married her, I never knew she had an associate with Daniel Clinton but I'm guessing now that my father did.It makes a lot of sense now because he was practically forcing her down my throat and he was always thinking about the company, not my well being.I hated him for it. If he had been more forthcoming about his intentions, I don't know maybe I would have given Aurora a chance.“Hey babe, what time should I fix our reservation?” Katherine's voice filled my ears.“What reservation?” I pretended not to know what she was talking about.“Oh come on. Don't do this to me,” she pouted. I hate when she does that.“Do what? Just tell me what you want,” I said to her.“You promised me dinner for my upcoming birthday,” she said.I knew she was lying, I never promised her anything.“Really, I don't remember doing that,” I said.Ever since Aurora returned,
AURORAI was shocked and so was everyone around me when Jacob ran after the guy who stole my bag.Not that I need it anyway, I have a ton of it back at home.“What is he doing?” I asked, laughing.“One will say, trying to win you back,” Carina said.After some meetings in the office, I began craving some Chinese food. I always love the Chinese food here in New York. It is prepared perfectly.“Why did he go after your bag?” I heard Katherine's voice behind me.“I don't know, I should be asking you,” I said to her.She scoffed, showing off her extensive long nails, “what's that supposed to mean?”“He came with you, did he not?” Carina asked.“Hmmm,” I acknowledged Carina's question.“You might have had everyone in this city fooled but I know the real Aurora, she is nothing but a thief,” she spoke in anger.“Oh really, I guess you are the manipulative bitch then huh?” I spat at her.Her face was filled with anger, she raised her hands but seeing my bodyguards rushed at me made her stop m
AURORAWith my legs crossed and my hands on my chin, I listened as my board of directors bicker among each other.The interior design department has just been awarded a contract and it seems everyone is at odds about the payment, or whether we should take it.“Why should we take a Job from Crane industry? they have an interior design department,” one of the directors spoke with a loud voice.“But ours is far more superior with employees with a lot of experience,’’ Andre who took after his father said, “I'm sure, Mr. Crane only wants that and knows what best,”“Then we should ask for a better payment, they all think we are weak because we have a new CEO” the loud one said.I cleared my throat and the room became quiet immediately.I stared at him, “do you think this is my fault, Mr. Kent?”“I'm merely saying…”I stood up from my seat and walked towards him, “if my brother was on that seat, the payment would have been to your liking?That I shouldn't take what is mine and my rightful pla
AURORAI stared at the woman in front of me with my throat in my heart. She kept looking at me with smiles all over her face.I felt like punching the smile off her face. I felt like punching myself also. In fact I felt like I had been punched in the face.When I said Game on to Jacob, I didn't think he would act on my word against me. Thinking this will bring us back together is absurd, he is truly mistaken.“I'm sorry, this is a mistake. Whatever Jacob Crane has swayed you into doing. I can assure you it's not true and certainly not worth it,” I spoke with a lot certainly to her.She chuckled and smiled, “Jacob can't sway me into doing anything, despite him telling me you are his wife, I read the reviews of your company. It's outstanding,” she said.I rolled my eyes at the sound of his wife but yet somehow I haven't told her no.“Has, you've met my sister, Sophia,” Jacob walked behind her towards us.“Yes,” I scoffed, “and she thinks that we are married,” I said to him.Sophia look
AURORAIt's been a busy week trying to get the Job done in Sophia's mansion.I chuckled as I remembered her telling me to call her by her name and not her married name.I still can't believe her father made her marry someone as ruthless as the late Governor. I never knew him personally but everyone knows the story of how he killed his opponent just to be in power. It makes me sick just thinking about it.“Aurora,” I heard Carina call out my name and I turned.“Remember what you asked me to clarify last week?” She asks.“Of course, about the auction?” I blinked, expecting some good news from her.“Well, it's legit. There is an auction going in the city and it is big,” she said.“How many people are on it?” I asked.“Every female elite in the state and possibly around the country,” she said but didn't sound sure.“Put me on it,’’ I said to her and continued my work on my laptop.I didn't hear her leave so I looked at her, “what is wrong Carina?”“Are you sure, this is your first time do
