“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
Ryan, Riley, and Rowan were dressed in neatly tailored and fitted black tuxedo shirts and pants. Their hair was styled to fit their faces perfectly. They had elegant wristwatches and belts on. Their shoes sparkled, just like their hearts when they watched their father talk so sweetly to Aurora. Aurora on the other hand wore a long blue ribbed dress, which had a lace at the back. She tied the lace so tightly, revealing her super-snatched waist. She wore white heels and carried a white bag to match. Arthur, on the other hand, wore the same outfits as the boys. They all headed to the living room which was gradually beginning to fill up with people they had invited. Most of them were friends and parents from the boys’ school. Derick and Carter arrived after Derick and Aurora started saying Hi to their guests. “Woah. Who would have thought the party would be this big?!” Carter exclaimed while Derick chuckled. “It’s in Arthur’s house. Of course, it’s going to be big.” Derick answered
