~The next morning~

Opening his eyes, Arthur felt Anita’s arms cuddling around him. He looked at her face and saw she was still fast asleep.

The swollen marks on her face were now flat, but they were still pretty red.

‘Why would a man lay his hand on a woman?’ Arthur wondered in anger and disgust. He needed Anita to tell him what really happened so that he could deal with the motherf**ker who kept maltreating her.

He slowly and carefully reached for her hand, moving it away from his chest. He placed her hand on the bed as he moved away from her.

He got out of bed and looked back at her. He succeeded in not waking her up. He couldn’t believe he could sleep with her in the same bed after so many years of hating her.

‘Does this mean I want her again?’ Arthur questioned himself as he made his way out of the guest room.

‘No, I don’t want her. I just care about her. And we have a common enemy and that happens to be the man that came into my office to threaten me.’ He convinced himself.

    Getting to the living room, Anita slowly settled on the couch as she could still feel mild discomfort in her body. “How are you feeling now?” Arthur asked, sitting on the couch adjacent to the one she sat on. “I’m much better. All thanks to you.” She answered with a wide smile. Arthur bobbed, letting out a soft smile too. “I’m glad you are feeling better.” He responded. Nodding to his response, she stared at him speechlessly, her smile slowly fading off as every second passed by. “Are you going to at least tell me what happened?” Arthur asked. Anita let out a loud sigh and lowered her head. She began to fiddle her fingers as she nodded slowly. “Last night, we had a fight…” “We? You and who? The man that came to threaten me in my office?” Arthur asked with great enthusiasm. He couldn’t wait to bring him down. “Yes. We had an argument about you, actually. The other night you dropped me at the house, he saw you from the window. He had warned me to stop seeing you, but I didn’t l

    “Aurora?” Arthur called in surprise, disengaging from Anita’s hug and standing up. Anita looked back and saw Aurora staring at her with a stern look, but she kept on a feeble smile. “Hi, Aurora. You’re here.” Anita uttered, holding onto the couch firmly as she stood up. “I… I came for the boys. I didn’t… mean to interrupt,”Aurora stuttered, looking away as she walked past them to the boys’ room. Getting to the front of their door, she felt the back of her eyes heat up. Tightening her jaws, she put on a fake grin and opened their door. “Surprise!” She uttered, causing the boys to look at her. “Mummy!” They all chorused in excitement and ran towards her. She lowered herself to the ground so they could embrace her. “I thought you were joking when you said you’d see us soon. You really came.” Ryan uttered in excitement, and she chuckled, nodding her head. “I wouldn’t hurt your feelings by lying about such a thing. I’ve missed you all so much!” She responded, embracing them tightl

    “Aurora, Hi! I will be returning to Derick’s house today. And this time, I would fight for our love. No going back. I’m going to get married to him whether his parents or Brenda wants it or not.” After sending the text, Carter hopped into Derick’s car excitedly. He was happy and unsure at the same time. He was going to meet Brenda the second time after their first meeting and he wasn’t sure how it was going to go. Derick noticed Carter was deep in thought as they hit the road, so he tried to assure him. “Carter, trust me. We are going to sort this out. Don’t think too much about it.” He rubbed his hand on Carter’s thighs as he drove. “Your son would be home too, right?” Carter answered, and he nodded. “Yes.” “Don’t you think he wouldn’t like the idea of you chasing his mother out of the house? He would want to go with his mum.” “Honestly, Carter, I don’t know what I’m going to do about him but I know I don’t want to lose him. We now have a son.” “Yes, sure. I just don’t know w

    Anita whistled and danced sexily in her nightgown as she prepared dinner for Arthur. She refused to stop pestering Theo until he gave her a meal she could work with. She started making Chicken and chips as she waited for him to come back home. Her health was getting better and she believed it was time for her to move forward. ‘He cares about me, now it’s time to make sure he loves me and can’t do without me.’ She thought to herself, a little smirk crept on her face as she watched the chicken roast. She loved that Aurora had to go away furious after she found her there. ‘At least, now she knows who owns him.’ She muttered happily. While she cooked, Ryan and Riley walked into the kitchen to get a bottle of water, and then they saw her. With an unfazed look, they ignored her and proceeded to the fridge to help themselves out. “Hi, boys! How are you tonight?” She asked with a wide grin as she approached them. They still ignored her as Ryan got his hand on the bottle of water and shut

    Jack couldn’t help but worry after Aurora refused to show up at the restaurant for two days consecutively without telling him anything about it. He worried that he was the reason why she wanted to stay away, because of what he tried to do to her in the elevator. He regretted his actions and wished he could reverse time so he never did it. Throughout his time at the restaurant, he could hardly and then finally decided that he’d go to her apartment. ‘I’ll apologize and promise her that it will never happen again.’ He said to himself. After finishing at the restaurant, he headed up and straight to Aurora’s apartment. He let out a deep sigh as he went ahead to knock on her door. In nervousness, he waited for her to answer the door. After a short while, he heard her behind the door. The door unlocked and when she opened up, his gaze fell on her face. “Aurora. Hi.” He called softly, putting on a smile. “Hi, Jack,” Aurora answered with a feeble smile, her facial expression being a sad

    It was the weekend and Arthur was home with the boys. Ryan shouldn’t stop pressuring him about playing a game with them, which he eventually agreed to. While they were in the room, playing the game, Anita stood at the door and watched them with a large smile on her face. ‘I just need a few more weeks and I’ll be able to join them in playing. It will be like I am their mother.’ She fantasized, still staring at them. Ryan looked back and saw that Anita was staring at them. Arthur’s back was turned against the door, so he didn’t see her there. Ryan quickly gave an eye signal to Riley and Rowan and they nodded. All of a sudden, Ryan yelled, “See Daddy! She’s looking at us that same way again! I told you she hates us!” Ryan yelled, pointing to Anita who was not only confused but dumbfounded. Arthur looked back and saw Anita standing at the door. “Anita, what did you do this time?” He asked, standing to his feet. “What?! I didn’t do anything!” She defended herself. “She did somethin

    After finishing with the boys, Arthur headed to his room and lay on the bed. He remembered what his boys told him about their birthday party and decided to reach out to Aurora. He called her and waited patiently for her to pick up. She didn’t answer the phone the first time, so he tried again. She finally answered and Arthur swallowed hard before speaking up. “Aurora?” He called, and his voice was followed by a soft moan from the other end. “Arthur?” Aurora groaned, her head buried in her bedsheets. “Are you alright?” Aurora worriedly lifted his upper body from the bed like it was going to make him hear her clearer. “You sound so tired. Are you just waking up?” He asked, looking up at the wall clock in his room. ‘It’s 1 pm. She can’t be just waking up.’ He said to himself. “I am just waking up,” Aurora mumbled, and then for the first time, checked her phone. Her tired and thin eyes widened as she saw it was noon already. “1 pm?” She exclaimed, and immediately, a groan of pain

    The day finally came, the day the boys anticipated and waited excitedly for. Aurora was in Arthur’s house and they started decorating the living room as early as 6 a.m.Anita left on the third day as Arthur asked, and the boys had been happier since then. “I’m so happy, Mum. I made sure Daddy saw her for who she was.” Ryan said to Aurora, while Aurora raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Really? You were the reason why he sent her out?” Aurora asked, and the boys nodded. “I don’t think Daddy liked her either. He just wanted to help her.” Rowan muttered, with his head buried in Aurora’s chest. “You think so?” “Yes! That is the truth. Daddy likes only you. You are giving that speech today, right? And the kiss?” Ryan inquired. Aurora nodded her head and chuckled softly. She wondered why they were so pertinacious about seeing them give a love speech and kiss. “Why do you want us to do it though?” “Because we don’t believe the lie you keep telling us that you’re out of the house to w

    ~After A week~ While Aurora slept, she perceived the strong smell of pancake in her nostrils. She shook her head, furrowing her brows while her eyes were still closed. “Aurora.” She heard her name in a whisper, and this was when she slightly opened her eyes. Very close to her face was Arthur’s face, which had a large smile on it. “Good morning beautiful.” He uttered, and she smiled faintly, rubbing her eyes with her hands. “Good morning.” She mumbled, her eyes falling shut again. “I made you breakfast.” He added, and her eyes opened again. She looked down at his hands and saw a tray with him. He wore an apron on his singlet and black pants.“You did? I can smell pancakes.” She answered with a smile, and he nodded. “These are the fastest things I can make.” He responded, and she broke into laughter. “Baby, you didn’t have to. You shouldn’t stress your leg, remember?” She answered, sitting up and collecting the tray of pancakes from him. “My leg has gotten better, okay? I don’t

    After making love to Arthur, Aurora fell asleep in his arms. Arthur could hardly sleep because he kept staring at her, thinking of how far they had come. Without a doubt, he knew they were destined for each other. ‘I have to make this work again. And this time, without mistakes.’ He thought, slowly and carefully caressing her face in a way that wouldn’t wake her up, but unfortunately, she ended up waking up. She slowly opened her eyes and when she saw him staring at her, she smiled widely. “Hey.” She uttered in almost a whisper, and he responded with a smile. “You didn’t sleep?” She asked, and he shook his head. “I couldn’t. I couldn’t stop staring at you.” He answered, and she scoffed, looking away. “Stop teasing. How is your leg?” She asked as she sat up. She took a look at his leg and looked at his face again. “I wasn’t teasing. And for my leg, I don’t know. It feels numb.” He answered, causing her to furrow her brows. “Is that a good thing?” She asked, and he shrugged with

    The same day, they all went back to Arthur’s house, including Derick and his husband. They helped Aurora bring him out of the car and place him on the wheelchair, while she pushed him into the house. “God, I’ve missed this place so much.” He mumbled and raised his head to look at Aurora, who had a faint smile on her face. “I do miss it too.” She answered, looking at his face. Then she recalled the doctor had told her to clean the scratches on his face which were plastered. “We should clean your scratches as soon as they are gone.” She added, and Arthur nodded. “Okay, Ma’am.” He responded teasingly, which made Aurora furrow her brows. “Ma’am?” She asked with a chuckle, and he nodded. “Why is that?” She further asked. “Because I’ll be doing whatever you ask of me without questioning your opinion.” He answered with their gazes locked. “Can somebody get these two a bed already? They've been so flirty since we left the hospital,” Carter muttered, rolling his eyes. “You know we can

    Getting back to the hospital, they met Rachel, Aurora’s mother sitting next to Arthur on the bed. The kids also sat in the bed with Arthur. Arthur sat up on the bed, his back resting against a pillow. “You’re back,” Rachel uttered with a large smile as they all walked into the ward. “Mom, when did you get here?” She asked, opening her hands so she could embrace her kids who eagerly climbed down the bed just to embrace her. “About an hour ago. I was finally told you were around today, and I couldn’t wait one minute longer to see you. I got here and saw that you and the others have headed out.” She responded, and Aurora nodded. “We went for Anita’s court hearing.” She uttered, moving closer to Arthur’s bed. She held his hand and smiled softly. “How are you feeling now?” She asked, taking a glance at his wrapped leg which now lay on the bed. “Better. I feel much better. Thank you.” He answered, and she nodded. “I’m glad.” “How was the hearing?” He asked, and Derick scoffed. “Th

    ~After A Week~“My Lord, the only evidence against my client is one provided by one man, who I am sure is not a friend of hers and is just looking for a way to complicate her. This may all just be a coincidence.”“Objection, My Lord!” “Objection overruled.”“Thank you, my Lord. Apart from this man who claims to be my client’s friend, there are no other witnesses to prove that my client is guilty. These were just words heard, and I must say that there are so many people who sound the same. It must have been someone else on the phone.” “Objection, My Lord!” “Objection sustained.” “Thank you, My Lord!” Arthur’s lawyer, Mr. Smith stood up to defend Arthur too. “My Lord, I bet my colleague here must have forgotten we also have a video of her on the phone with someone, saying this person should make it seem like an accident. I’ll play this tape now.” He said, giving a USB stick to one of the officers. Aurora looked at Alec, who sat beside her, with fear in her heart. She feared that A

    Aurora left the police station with Derick, leaving Alec to do as he had promised. Getting back to the hospital, they met everyone where they had left them. “Aurora, welcome back.” Carter greeted, hugging her, before planting a peck on Derick’s lips. “How was it?” He asked, and Derick heaved a sigh. “It was Anita,” Derick uttered, and Theo scoffed. “I know it. That witch. When will she ever stop? After Mr. Arthur paid her to leave us the hell alone. She just wouldn’t listen.” Theo uttered in anger. “Paid her to leave? What are you talking about?” Aurora asked with her brows furrowed in confusion. “Yes. She came to the house after you left and Mr. Arthur was a total mess. She said he could give her a huge amount of money to make her disappear from our lives totally, and this included getting rid of the baby she claimed was his.” Theo explained, making Carter and Derick exchange looks. “How are we just knowing this? She probably used that money to fuel her next operation! Why wou

    In the evening, Aurora and Derick visited the police station while Carter and Theo stayed with Arthur and the kids. Getting to the police station, Aurora walked behind Derick as she was unsure about where to go and what to do. Derick walked up to the cop behind the counter and said; “We are here for Arthur Howard. His wife is here.” Derick uttered, moving away so that the cop could see Aurora who was behind him. “His wife? I thought they never got the chance to be official.” The cop answered with a chuckle, and Derick raised his eyebrows in surprise. “What? It’s all over the internet. She ran away on her wedding day after another lady claimed to be pregnant for him.” He added, and this time, with laughter. Aurora scoffed and shook her head in disbelief. “Do you want to gossip? Or are you going to take us to your boss?” Derick answered with a stern look. “What exactly are you seeing him for?” The cop further asked. “He is just here to frustrate us, Derick. We should leave.” Aur

    Aurora arrived at the hospital the next day. She ran into the ward, and when she saw the boys, she broke into tears, kissed them, and embraced them tightly. “Oh God. I was so scared it would be more than these. How are you feeling?” She asked them, and they hugged her again. “We have missed you so much, mummy. We are much better now. They keep giving us injections and drugs, and now it’s as if nothing happened.” Ryan said, and she nodded, tears still streaming down her eyes. “I’m so glad you’re okay now.” She answered and then looked up to see Theo, Carter, and Derick staring at her. She had almost forgotten they were there. “Hi.” She mumbled as she stood up to greet them. One after the other, they embraced her. She hugged Carter the tightest, burying her head in his shoulder. “Where is he? How is he?” She mumbled in tears, her eyes shut very tight in anticipation of the horrible response she could get. “He’s behind the curtain. Let me walk you there.” He said to her as he hel

    While Alec was in Aurora’s house, sneakingly looking for clues about what her next evil agenda was, her landline rang. He furrowed his brows as he walked up to her bedside table and answered the phone. He remained quiet and waited for the person from the other end to speak. “Anita, it’s done. When do we come for the balance? He’s not going to survive it, that’s for sure.” Because he couldn’t answer, he hung up and hastily walked out of the room. “He is not going to survive it? What have you done, Anita!”He got out of the house and left, making sure he wasn’t seen. Driving to his house, he couldn’t help but wonder what had happened. He feared that Arthur was in great danger, and he wasn’t sure what to do if that was the case. Getting to his house, he turned on the television and drew his phone out of his pocket. He sat on the couch and began to search for news channels. He believed if it was Arthur, the news would carry it because of the influence he has in society. He passed
