Aurora’s POV: “Call Jeremy,” she commanded in a fierce tone. My eyebrows perked up in askance as I folded my arms across my chest. Naturally one should be scared but I wasn’t, especially as I had begun to feel a surge of power course through my veins. “Who’s Jeremy?” I asked her instead, noticing how her lips curved downward into a sneer. She scoffed and with an eye roll, she snapped at me; “Do not try to pretend that you do not know who Jeremy is!” I stared at her in confusion. I was confused because first off, I didn’t know who the hell Jeremy was, and worst of all, I had no idea why I would be calling anyone simply because she asked me to. I frowned. “Well, I don’t.” “Aurora,” she warned threateningly, “Do it. Do not force me to pull this trigger.” Something about the way she said it made me even angrier than I already was. I planted both of my hands on my waist as I took a step closer to her. “You wouldn’t dare!” I spat. Now, the power coursing through my veins was overwhe
Aurora’s POV: “I told you, he’s Father’s new lawyer!” She cried defiantly, struggling under Ian’s hold but as expected, the latter didn’t let go of her. “And why do you think I’ll know where he is when you never even told me you employed him in the first place?!” I bit back at her with equal fierceness, causing her to gulp. She muttered something under her breath that sounded strangely akin to an insult and I cocked my eyebrows at her as I stepped closer to her. When she saw this, she dropped her head but then took several steps away from me. “I know you spy on me… and wor—” She started to say but before the words could leave her mouth, I snapped my fingers in her face and snarled; “You’re not that important that I would waste my time spying on you,” I heard the muffled laughs from Ian and the soldier standing directly behind him. My eyes darted in their direction for a brief moment before I turned back to Emily who still had a scowl on her face. I ignored her piercing stares a
Aurora’s POV: In a crazed frenzy, I threw all of my stuff about the now empty room but still, there were no traces of my mom or the children anywhere. Tears streamed down my face in torrents, almost blinding my vision but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t bring myself to. My body shook with fear, and at the same time, I was confused and angry. As I stumbled across the room, looking for something, anything that could act as a clue, the only thing I could think of was why my mother would do a thing like this to me. She was supposed to stand by me, to protect me and the babies! Heck, she was supposed to be my mother! Frustrated tears leaked out of my eyes and with a scream, I fell to the floor, shaking as a combination of horror and panic tore through me. Klaus stepped into the room shortly afterward and when he saw the messy state of the place and the empty baby cot, he exhaled. His eyes landed on me but he did not attempt to come close. Obviously, he was still mad at me about the issue we
Aurora’s POV:The first thing I did when I arrived downstairs and met my mother being held by two soldiers was to yell in her face. I was beyond mad and the fact that she had not even an ounce of emotion on her face made me even angrier.“Mother why?!” I growled in tears. “Why would you do something like this? What do you stand to gain?!”My body shook with anger as instead of responding to me, she smiled. For a minute, I had this irresistible urge to hit her, to strike her, or to do anything to her to inflict her pain… but I could not. I knew how dangerous I could be and I couldn’t risk hurting her too much due to anger.Frustration swelled within me, and without thinking, I snatched my babies out of the grip of the soldiers who held them. I thought about giving them to a maidservant to take them to my room but immediately decided against that.I was scared and skeptical. If I couldn’t trust my mother with my kids then who the hell could I trust with them?Just then, Klaus and Ian st
Aurora’s POV:I was confused. I don’t know what to do or say. I didn’t even know where to go from here or what steps to take after everything that has happened.My heart hurt at the thought of being with a total stranger for a month while my mother was held captive in an underground bunker in Seychelles… and I never noticed. What was worse was that I had told her everything… well aside from the fact that my father was still alive though.Now, thinking about it, it wasn’t such a bad idea to keep it away from everyone but somehow, I knew that I had to tell Klaus about it one way or the other. With this new resolve in mind, I tucked my babies into bed, placed a child monitor between them, and stepped out of the room with all the books that my father sent to me in my hands; and that was after locking the door. Now I was more careful with them. I didn’t trust anyone anymore.I walked slowly to his room, using the opportunity to ponder over everything that has been happening. I didn’t know
Aurora‘a POV: Klaus leaned close to me like a child straining for attention as he struggled to eavesdrop. I couldn’t keep my smile at bay as I brought my phone to my ear, and with a lift in my mood, I muttered ;“Hello?”“Hello daughter,” my father greeted back, and as soon as Klaus heard that, he stumbled away from me with wide eyes.Wordlessly, he pointed to me and then back at the phone, and I didn’t need any soothsayer to know that he was indirectly trying to confirm if what he was hearing was true. I smiled and nodded.“How are you?”“I am fine, Papa,” I responded, and then eyeing Klaus, I added; “…and you?”My father chuckled lightly. His deep voice rang through the phone and when he spoke some seconds later, I couldn’t help but notice how he sounded like he was in such a good mood.He said; “I am okay… Life’s good. How’s your mother, and your kids?”I contemplated telling him about my mother’s situation. I wasn’t sure I could talk to him about it yet, especially as I didn’t kn
Aurora’s POV:Savannah pushed through the door, even before being asked to. As she stalked into the room, I couldn’t help but notice how her eyes were trained on Klaus. She stared at him like he was food… and me? I was the pesky little nuisance.However, I was snapped out of my thoughts when she waved in my face, and with her eyes glued on Klaus’ face, she said;“I’ve come with a proposition,”I glanced up at her, panting and scoffing. I was pissed, not only because she was so arrogant but also because she had interrupted something. My body still ached from Klaus’ touch and now, I had the rage of an unsatisfied woman burning up within me.Klaus, who noticed my discomfort, smiled at me. He nodded and then, glancing back at Savannah, he spat; “What about?”“Us.”I had no idea what she meant by that. All I knew was that it made me uncomfortable. By us, what does she mean? I pondered over this information, but then, deciding to shrug it off my chest… for now, I turned back to the conversa
Aurora’s POV:“Josie…?” I found myself whispering when I reached the sitting room and found a frail woman sitting on one of the sofas.I still had my doubts and rightfully so. But then when I fully stepped into the room, I took a deep breath because I was finally consumed with an aura I have grown to recognize and love… it was something that even Josie never had.As if noticing my presence, my mother looked up. Her eyes were tired but they still held excitement in them… they held ‘her spark’. That was the last thing that should’ve broken my resolve. Something that should’ve had me running to her but I was still suspicious. For some not-so-unknown reason, I was scared. I was scared that this was another trap and that we had all been played with…again.I noticed footsteps behind me and from the scent that immediately wafted into my nostrils, I knew that it was Klaus. I didn’t even need to turn around.My mother seemed weak. She stretched out her hands to me, and seeing as I didn’t take
