The next day, Aurora returned to her apartment after she had dropped the boys at school. She had only a few days at the restaurant now before leaving. She had to start planning her wedding with Arthur too. She got to the restaurant a few minutes after resumption time. Heading right to Jack’s office, she met him behind his desk. “Hi, boss!” She said teasingly, and he let out a smile. “Let me call you back, okay?” He said, and Aurora furrowed her brows and looked at the table to see that he was on a call. Her eyes widened and she placed her hand on her mouth, feeling stupid. “Alright. See you tonight. Bye.” A feminine voice answered from the other end of the phone, and the call got disconnected afterward. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize you were on the phone,” Aurora uttered, and Jack shook his head with a chuckle. “I figured. Don’t worry, okay? It’s all good. How are you today?” He asked, pointing to the chair in front of the desk, and she sat. “I’m good. I’m here to remind yo
~After three weeks~ In the large chapel hall, there were numerous people from all around the state, seated to witness Arthur get married to Aurora. The highly decorated chapel was full to the door with people of class and caliber. In the front seats were Carter and his husband, Jimmy, Theo, Jack, and Rachel, who happened to be close people to the couples. Arthur stood in front of the priest, his side turned to them as he waited for his bride. Josh, who was also dressed in a white suit and trousers, stood behind Arthur as his best man. Carter and Derick constantly exchanged looks happily, waiting to see how beautiful Aurora looked. And just then, the large chapel doors opened. The loud sound of the door opening made everyone turn to look at the doors. Then the boys, three of them dressed in the same suit, walked in, causing the people to burst into laughter. Ryan carried a pillow to which the rings were attached, Riley carried a basket of petals which he began to drop right from
Getting to the wedding venue, and just as Alec was about to park his car in front of the chapel, he saw Aurora run out of the entrance in tears. In haste, he got out of the car and stepped out so she could see him. “Aurora! Aurora!” He called, and she raised her head and saw him by his car, staring at her in confusion. “Where are you going?” He further asked, this time, she was running towards him. “Oh my… why are you crying?!” He asked, his eyes widened in shock. “Get me out of here!” Aurora yelled in tears, grabbing his car door and flinging it open. She got into the car and shut the door. Without hesitation, Alec ran to the other side of his car and got in the driver’s seat. Igniting the engine, he zoomed out of the space he had parked and hit the road. He constantly looked at Aurora as she bawled her eyes out. He kept quiet and said nothing. He knew Anita had done her thing, and it was time for him to do his. He had to be the shoulder she’d cry on. He was so happy he got t
Arthur couldn’t stop pacing in the living room. All attempts to reach Aurora were to no avail. Carter kept calling her phone, but she didn’t answer. At some point, her phone was switched off. “Her phone is switched off,” Carter muttered in disappointment, placing his phone on the couch. “Do you have any idea where she could be? Do you know who drove off with her?” Derick further inquired. “I don’t know. I didn’t see anything. She was in the car and the next second, the car zoomed off.” Carter explained. “What do I do?! I need to reach her tonight!” Arthur yelled in frustration. His voice was so loud that Theo could hear it from inside the kids’ room. “What’s happening?? Where is mummy? Why is Daddy so worried?? Why did the wedding stop all of a sudden?” The boys began to question Theo, and he shook his head. “I don’t know either, okay? You all should go to bed. You’ll know more tomorrow.” Theo said to them. Rowan was on the verge of tears as he could sense that something had go
The next day, Aurora woke up to a bouquet on her window. She creased her brows and dragged her feet to the window, cleaning her sleepy eyes with her finger. She reached for the flowers and carried them. She sniffed it in and let out a deep breath. It smelled fresh and lovely. In the flowers was a card. She picked up the card and opened it. It read; “Good morning, beautiful. I hope the bright sunshine brightens up your mood today. I’ve prepared breakfast for you. You’ll see me at the right as soon as you step out of your door. Alec.” With a faint smile, she peeped out of the window and saw a large table and two chairs on the sand. The table was filled with different dishes, and the sight of them alone made her stomach grumble. She walked back to the bed and placed the flowers on the bed. She picked up her phone and turned it on for the first time since she had switched it off. She sat on the bed and stared at her phone, waiting for it to finish loading. As soon as her phone was o
~After one week~Arthur reported to the police after he didn’t hear from Aurora for four days. Since he reported, the police have been working hard to find her, but it has yet to yield any success. Arthur was down in worry and refused to talk or see anyone. He would lock himself up in his room, thinking of how messed up his life was. ‘If only she could come back and let me explain.” He thought, with his head lowered in sadness. Just then, he heard the doorbell ring from his room, but he ignored it. Carter, Derick, and some other friends of his had been visiting him frequently to check up on him, even though he refused to see them. Theo went to get the door and when he opened it, to his greatest surprise, it was Aurora, standing at the door. “Aurora!” He yelled in surprise, and Arthur’s ears caught her name. “Aurora?!” His eyes widened as he sprang up to his feet and ran out of his room, heading to the living room. “Hi, Theo.” She uttered coldly, walking into the house.“Oh my…
As Aurora stepped out of the house, she headed towards Alec’s car which waited for her outside Arthur’s compound. Stepping into the car, her eyes shimmered with tears. She never thought Walking away was going to be so easy.Seeing her close to tears, Alec became worried again. He placed his hand on her shoulder and tried to comfort her. “I know this isn’t easy, but I think this is best for you.” He uttered, and she bobbed slowly, her head lowered as tears dropped uncontrollably on her hands. “Can we just leave this place? Drive me to the airport, please.” She said to him, and he nodded in obedience. He ignited the engine and hit the road afterward. Aurora looked out of the window, staring at Arthur’s mansion as it slowly went out of sight. They drove in silence until they got to the airport. Aurora alighted and Alec helped her with her bags in the back of the car. After she held onto her two bags, she looked at Alec with a smile of appreciation on her face. “Thank you so much,
After Alec dropped Anita at Arthur’s house, he drove off, while Anita walked in boldly. She kept replaying the words she planned on saying to Arthur. She was also ready for anything he was going to do to her. ‘As long as I leave with a robust bank account.’ She pressed the doorbell and took two steps backward, waiting for Arthur to open up. After a few minutes, the door opened and Theo came into sight. “What the hell do you think you’re doing here, hun?!” He asked angrily, pushing her backward so he could step out and shut the door behind him. “I’m here to see Arthur.” “You don’t have to tell me that before I know, okay?! Who else would you be here to see, me?” He asked with a scoff, constantly looking back to make sure Arthur wasn’t coming. “Can I come in?” “Are you crazy?! Come in to where? To do what? Do you even like your life at all? Mr. Arthur is going to murder you the minute he lays his eyes on you.” “Whatever he does to me is none of your business. Let me in. I just
