Semua Bab A Secretary's Vendetta: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Michael POV:Two friends stood across from each other, our eyes locking in a tense stare like two swords in a heated battle. The weight of betrayal hung heavy between us, like a dark cloud threatening to unleash a storm of hurt and disappointment. The once unbreakable bond now felt as fragile as a spider's web, each delicate strand threatening to snap at any moment. The silence between us was deafening, broken only by the pounding of the others hearts as i struggled to find the words to mend what had been broken."Why are you doing this? Mike, why?" He asked with a scowl."I was trying to protect you""You are not, i told you, i don't need your protection. I can protect myself""You need it, you fail to see you are in danger.""From whom. You?"Leo Jordan, he is up to something, i tell you.""Mike, he's helping, he has always been helping me." "Why is he? Why would he want to help you genuinely, he is using you"His voice lowered all of a sudden, he spoke calmly like a calm wind drif

Michael POV:I got the news on my way to the office, it started as a rumor from here and there, before it was finnaly confirmed. Former Mayor Merrill had commited suicide, he had left a note confirming it was a suicide and no one was connected to his death. He said his conscience of how he ran the town for the last couple of years was killing him and he thinks he had to end to it all. To a reasonable man, i know that is a load of bullshit. No one commits suicide because of that, he was murdered I'm sure. But there was no way to prove that, had he committed suicide before the election, every one would have knew something was amiss, but he had stepped infront of the whole and only committed suicide afterward. It made no difference to me, rather i think someone had meticulously planned it. Someone who was not satisfied with him not just stepping down from the election, but his death was needed. Of course i couldn't prove all these, there was no proof to my hypothesis, no one will beli

Aurora POV:I had hoped I'd have a comfortable life again, if not for me for my mother. I knew Mr. Angelo tried his possible best, but it wasn't meant to be.I had planned to tell Mr. Jordan i was quitting, i was so nervous, i feared for his reaction. I knew he would be angry, but how angry would he be. After the stress of the trial he had insisted i took a time off, i wanted to, but i need tell him in person i was quitring, i couldn't possibly tell him over a phone call. I had waited for him to come to my office like any other day. He finally did. "Aurora, you are as stubborn as an ox" he said"I told you to take your time of to rest" "I needed to come, i am not tthat tired to be fair""Props to you for coming and Aurora" He mused"Did you hear about the Mayor Merrill, he committed suicide"I cupped my mouth in horror "what? Why? I never heard. God! What happened?""I don't know, probably because he lost his mayoral position""I thought he stepped down himself" i pointed out "Yea

Aurora POV:When i got home I was so choked by confusion and guilt, i skipped gym for the upteenth time. I couldn't tell my Mom what is going on with me, i need the help of my best friend, i had to call Libby. She picked up on the third."Libby, where are you" "Home, i just came back from work""Home alone?""Yeah, why?"I need your judgement with a decision I'm about to make""What is it? Believe me, it'd be better discuss in person""Should i come over to your place?"It's becoming a ritual for them to come to mine instead of the other way round. I go to her place too but in a long while."No, I'd come. I don't want my mom to catch a whiff of it""Fair enough" "I would be there in half an hour" I headed out immediately i hung, but not before telling my mom."Mom, I'm going to Libby's. I will be back in an hour or two" i called out to her"Don't stay out for long" she called back "I won't" "And drive carefully""I will"■○♡○♤○♤○♤○¡I pulled up in front of her house , I couldn't

Michael POV. I had woken up on the wrong side of the bed, i felt grumpy, like my regular old self. My bad dreams were becoming incessant.As I drifted off to sleep, my mind began to wander and my eyelids grew heavy. But soon enough, my peaceful slumber was disrupted by a terrifying nightmare that seemed all too real.In my dream, I found myself walking hand in hand with Aurora I love. We were strolling through a beautiful park, surrounded by lush green trees and vibrant flowers. Everything was perfect, and I felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and contentment.But then, out of nowhere, I heard a loud piercing scream. My heart skipped a beat as I turned to see the love of my life writhing in pain on the ground. Her body was contorted in agony, and she was screaming for help.My body was paralyzed with fear, and I felt as if I couldn't move. My heart was pounding in my chest as I watched her suffer, unable to do anything to ease her pain. Tears streamed down my face as I tried to w
