A black jeep parked haphazardly by the roadside. Rose and Gwen jumped down from it and hurried to her."Where's Sebastian?" Gwen demanded at once. Aurora, with her tear-stricken face, gestured to the bloody grasses."I found this," she told them.Gwen and Rose stared at it."And?" Rose demanded, "what does this have to do with Sebastian?""He was here!" Aurora cried, "this is his blood!""How do you know that?" Rose asked calmly, seeing her agitated state."I left him here last night. His car is still parked at the morgue entrance and I found his car key right here. He is in danger, we have to help him," she answered in tears.Rose stared at the car key in her hand."I did see a car that resembles his rented one while driving here," she muttered then looked up with a determined expression, "come on, we have to report this to the station."*"What!?"Gwen and Rose looked at Aurora at the same time."Your mother was murdered? Why didn't you say anything!?""Be calm, Gwen. She is carryin
"Hey," Sebastian greeted with a smile when she entered his hospital room and took a seat."Seems like we all have a thing for hospital rooms," she joked, smiling wryly."How have you been?"He was up in a sitting position. His hand reached out and touched her face gently."I feel like I've been through hell and back. I feel like I died and I am struggling to come back to life."His thumb stroked her chin."Relax," he said gently, "take a deep breath and relax."She did so. Shutting her eyes, she breathed in deeply and released it slowly."Better?"She nodded, relaxing into his touch."Where were you?" she asked quietly, opening her eyes, "this is the third day."His eyes widened. "Third day?""You didn't know? Do you know where you were? What happened? Did you have an accident?"He chuckled. "Yes. I was hit by a car. My father saved me.""Your father?" She blurted out in shock.He laughed lightly. "I was just as surprised as you are now. He faked his death because of y... well, he lie
"Hey," Aurora said casually after picking up the call. "Hey, how are you doing?" His voice came through, ever still the same. "Fine," she answered casually, "I've missed you." He was silent then he sighed. "I've missed you too." "Are you okay? How have you been?" She clicked on the speaker icon. "I thought I was fine," he said slowly, "having a baby and all. She duped me." "What?" "She was never pregnant. She raided me. My car, money, valuables... Everything is gone." Aurora blinked. "I'm so sorry, that is..." she was at a loss for words. "I was foolish, I know, you don't have to say it and I know you must feel like I'm a bad friend. I'm only reaching out now because I've lost everything." "No, do not say that," she replied quickly, "I'm glad you thought of reaching out to me first, it means a lot." "I am scared of meeting Sebastian. He warned me, he told me to tread carefully but I didn't listen." Aurora looked at Sebastian who smiled lightly. "Can I come over?" Zik que
"Ezekiel!" Aurora broke out of the haze first, screaming when he began to go down."Get away from him, Rora," a cold voice cut through the tense room, "one Deusdedit down."Aurora's eyes bulged out at the figure at the door. "Dad?"Patrick aimed the muzzle at Sebastian."Stop!" She screamed, jumping directly in front of him then she smacked her father hard on the face."What do you think you are doing?" She spat."Your mother warned you severally about them but you would never listen," Patrick accused angrily, "now look what Williams Deusdedit has caused. You even frolick around with his descendants.""Because I am my own person, not a toy. Put that gun down and get the hell out of here," she ordered.Patrick glowered at her. "If you are not careful, Aurora, you will die first."Aurora's eyes narrowed in disbelief."Aren't you my father? Who the hell is this?" She wasn't angry or sad, she was in shock."There are things you do not know and which I must fix."Patrick's darkened gaze fi
Hi, readers!We have come to the end of this thrilling story. I felt I had elongated it a bit too much but I do hope I gave you the ending you wanted 🤗Subsequent from now, the story you'll read is that of Ezekiel.Ride on, I'll see you at the end!A little tip: His spaced-out vision fixated on a slim brunette clearing out a table. She had passed his corner several times. Compared to the other female staff, her uniform was quite decent. She was pretty, he noticed at once, really pretty. Unconsciously, he began watching her activities; her fast hands, her confident strides, her careful dodging of the hands of careless men, and her chosen solitude.He emptied his glass and filled it again. Just great, he now had a crush on a stripper, just great.
Ezekiel Symphony walked into the bar at the end of his block. Having a bustling bar in his new environment wasn't exactly what he wanted but well, here was he going into one.He ordered a drink and sat in a corner. Aurora was pregnant. He was a bit jealous. It was rare to find a woman who would make so much sacrifice for a man but perhaps, Sebastian deserved it. He had lived a tough life and it was God's way of consoling him and letting him live the rest of his life happily.He relished the dark corner he stayed in. The bar was quite full and there were a few drunk men making funny scenes. It was just the right place to get his thoughts in order. Sarcasm.He sighed. He was foolish to have believed Irene loved him. She was his first though he had many crushes growing up. He didn't think he loved her, he had been intoxicated by her seductive dresses and acts and poor inexperienced him fell for it.He refilled his glass. She had drained him of almost everything he had. If it weren't for
Two days later, Isabel decided she was going to have to stop visiting the cafe during breaks. That particular man kept coming and he just couldn't keep his eyes off her and though she knew she was a rare beauty and had a seductive nature, she expected someone like him to exercise some form of self-control.She sighed, taking a long drink of her water. She didn't feel so good. Work, family, and school; she would burn out soon. She rubbed her neck tiredly then yawned so wide, she blushed in shame after. He was looking. She huffed, replaced her books in her bag, dropped her bill, picked up her bag, and vacated the cafe.Once outside, she felt dizzy. She stopped for a moment to get herself. She was feeling weak, too weak; she was not eating well. She swayed and fell.When she opened her eyes again, she was lying in one of the clinic's beds. She sighed, sitting up. She began to put on her shoes."Isabel Romero."She looked up. One of the nurses stared down at her with obvious displeasure.
She felt worse. It would be much better if it was someone she had never met. She rubbed her palms against her skimpy dress. She suddenly wanted cover more than ever. She wished she could dive under the duvet."Hi," she forced out, beginning to consider running out. He leaned off the wall where he had been reclining."What's your name?" He asked.He had a nice voice, she noticed, the type that made you want to listen to whatever he had to say."Isabel," she answered, regaining her confidence. He took three long strides to the bed and retrieved his coat.Was he leaving? She thought in anticipation. Her thoughts were dismissed as he began to come to her. She grew nervous. What was she to do?He smiled once he was close and covered her up with his jacket. "Thank God I brought the long one," he spoke, buttoning it up, "I wish it did better but it could have been worse."When he was finished, she was no longer exposed except that the coat was a bit short."You are not sleeping with me?"
