Chapter 70: Friends

Ezekiel pushed her off the path and jumped away himself. The car hit a stationary pole and spurted to a halt.Aurora was stunned and she could only gape at the car from her position on the floor."Come on, let's go," Ezekiel prompted in haste, pulling her up. They ran back to school. They only stopped once they were safely inside the school.She crouched down at the gate, trying to catch her breath. She had a feeling it wasn't a coincidence. She had a strong feeling Sebastian's father had something to do with it."I don't think it's anything to worry about," Ezekiel spoke, sounding a bit unsure, "the car just lost control.""Yeah," she nodded, not wanting him to suspect a thing, "just lost control. We're late, let's head to class."*"Where were you?" Cynthia questioned during lunch break, "you are never late.""Met a new friend, nothing much," she said, sliding into a seat.Cynthia stared at her, seeming confused. She still found it hard to talk freely with her long time friend and s

Chapter 71: Graduation

Cynthia and Daniel marched into the garden. "Don't you dare move away," Cynthia growled, glaring at Aurora. They came to a stop right in front of the duo. "Aurora, do you have feelings for Daniel?" Cynthia asked plainly. Aurora sighed, she had been expecting it. "No." Cynthia's nose flared, "No? No? Then why have you been sulking?" "I have not been sulking," she glared at Cynthia, "I just…" Cynthia folded her arms. "Just what?" "Look, I just felt a bit jealous. I was used to Daniel fawning over me and I felt possessive of him and so when I saw you two kissing at the arcade, I felt really… bad but I figured it out. I have no right to be possessive of Daniel and you have the right to like whomever you wish. I'm sorry if I acted strangely, I was just going through some things," she explained it all. "I told you she saw us kiss," Cynthia said to Daniel then faced Aurora. "I forgive you," she said, "but please, in the future, try to let us know when we offend you. It's not cool

Chapter 72: New room, new life

Aurora looked around her new room, a room she shared with three other girls. It was spacious and gave each the privacy they needed. She had the bed at the corner, nearest the wall.Zik had helped get her things to her new room before going to find his. He was good help.Her roommates were out. Joselyn and Phoebe were in their second year while Anastasia was a fresher like her.She settled down to unpack."Clothes…"She put up her clothes in the large wardrobe she shared with her other three roommates. It was segmented so there was no danger of mixing. Then she arranged her shoes next. Her cosmetics came up on the little vanity next to her bed.Opening the box where her books and stationeries where kept, she noticed an odd looking little suitcase inside."Okay, I didn't put this inside my box," she muttered, taking it out. It was quite heavy. She grew curious. She unlocked it.Her eyes popped out.Money. Arranged neatly in rows filled the little box."Did mum leave me extra?" She wonde

Chapter 73: Remember to run

Aurora stiffened."I didn't… I have been having lectures all day and I only just got back after having lunch at the restaurant," she ratted out at once, "I'm so sorry. I can get you to a hospital.""We only just met, Aurora. Why do such a thing to me?"Jocelyn shook her head, staggered and fell. Aurora was quick to catch her and gently laid her on the floor. The knife clattered to the ground next to her feet. She jumped away, her breathing heavy. She pulled out her phone and dialled the emergency line."Hello? Please, I need help. Someone has been stabbed…"Afterwards, she called Zik, countless times but he never picked.*Ezekiel was trapped in his own mess. After his lectures, he had avoided going home for as long as could but somehow Cole and Adam had found him and forced him to return home with them. Now he sat next to Aris, forcing himself not to choke from the excessive smoke they breathed out."You wanna do some?" Cole asked, offering him a cigarette."No," he said with a shake

Chapter 74: Sebastian

Aurora Maria Grazia brought out the keys to her apartment and unlocked the door. She picked up the bag of groceries on the floor and staggered in, burdened with the weight of the bags in her hand."Oh good God," she muttered, dropping them all at once on the floor. She shut the door and carried the bags one after the other to the kitchen."Enough foodstuffs for the rest of the month, thank you Jesus," she sighed with content, washing her hands.She loved the house. The neighborhood gave her the peace and tranquility she needed and it was quite close to her workplace.She ventured into her study to get some work done. At least, two hours of work before she prepared something to eat. Zik was going to come by later in the evening and she wanted to treat him to a feast.She unpacked her hair as she sat at her desk. She was happy, things were working out well but there was still an emptiness in her heart that refused to be filled up. It had been years now, over six years and she could bare

Chapter 75: Little secrets

Sebastian winked."My little secret."Her eyes narrowed."Have you been stalking me?" "Kind of," he admitted with a sheepish grin."You are still so cute," she gushed, pinching his cheek. He blushed but didn't look away from her."it's time to tell you my life's story," he added quickly before she could speak.Their hands still intertwined, he told her all what had been going on in his life."He didn't touch me again after that," he said of his father's abuse, "I recovered well but he still kept me locked up in my room until the day I threatened to blow up his warehouse."Her eyes widened, "did you?"He smiled, "my father is a hard man and I've always been timid before him so he didn't take my threat seriously. I knew he wouldn't. Yes, I did. I blew up the warehouse where he kept his preferred equipment and the guns he traded. He was furious but he let me out of my room then and I could move about the house freely.""Why did you always move around with a bodyguard?" She asked."My fa

Chapter 76: Murderer

Aurora ventured out of her first class of the day. Teaching a bunch of hormonal youths was quite tasking, coupled with the fact that the male students were too hypnotized by her beauty to concentrate on her teaching."Hey, Mark," she greeted her lecturer colleague."Rora, how was your lecture?" He smiled at her."Great," she settled at her desk opposite his. There were three occupying the office. She, Mark and Isabel. She was the youngest lecturer in the entire university and she took pride in it. Mark was in his middle forties, Isabel was in her late thirties while she was just about to clock twenty-five.Her phone rang. Mother."Good morning, mum. How are you doing?"She had never returned home since she left to attend college."I'm definitely not great, Aurora. Why won't you return home? Why won't you take over our company? Instead you waste your talents as a mere lecturer. I understand you are still in your rebellious years but th

Chapter 77: I trust you

Aurora's heart sank in guilt."I… he…" she stuttered then paused, getting herself. Why was she acting like the 18 year old former her?"Yes," she answered confidently, "I am seeing him. What does that have to do with you?"Cecilia glared at her."I have warned you severally, Aurora, yet you never listen to me!""Maybe when you start acting like a real mother, I will listen to you," Aurora rolled her eyes and turned away. The words 'murderer' registered in her head at that moment."Good evening, ma'am," Sebastian greeted, "I don't think you should judge me based on your history with my father. I…""You killed your father, didn't you?" Cecilia accused, "how are you any better than him and how can I trust my daughter in your care?"Aurora looked at Sebastian."I am nothing like my father," he repeated, "my father is dead. No threat will come to her."Cecilia shook her head and slammed the door in her face. Aurora sighed, looking at Sebastian apologetically."I'm sorry, she just…""What h

Chapter 78: Getting to know each other

"What would you like to eat?" Sebastian asked as he and Aurora walked out of the museum together."Whatever you eat," she replied, adding a wink after.She stared at him as he drove, admiring his handsome features. She couldn't see his eyes because they were fixed on the road ahead but she could already imagine them gleaming with happiness and twinkling with mischief. The ticking of his jaw had her know that he was uncomfortable with her stares."Do I make you uncomfortable, Bastian?" She asked, shifting closer.His jaw ticked once more."You make me nervous," he answered.She grinned."Why?"He glanced at her."You know why.""Did you date any girl while you were away?" "No.""Why? You didn't find any attractive?""I found a few attractive, actually," he said, glancing at her again, "but not enough to keep me awake at night."She blushed."I guess we both make each other nervous," she muttered, looking away."Did you date anyone?"She scoffed, "like you don''t know my entire activit

Chapter 79: Going Down

"Sir?" Sebastian's hand halted midway to the door. A male hotel staff was staring at him, obviously displeased. "I'm sorry, sir but you're disturbing the peace of our guests." He looked at Aurora's door then stepped back. "I'm sorry," he said, "but it's urgent." "You can try calling whoever it is. You do own a smartphone, don't you?" He caught the sarcasm. "I'm sorry, I'll leave now," he said and went back to his room. He called several times but she never picked up. She didn't even cut the call, she simply let it ring out loud. He called Zik next. "Watsup, coz?" Zik's cheery voice came through. "Zik, can you please call Rora? I just told her about her brother's death and she won't speak to me again. Please." "You should have expected that. Give her some time, she'll come around. I'll still call her anyway." "Thanks, I owe you," he said with a relieved sigh. "You owe me heavily already, I own you." "Shut up." He cut the call and waited. Zik called back five minutes late
