All Chapters of Aurora: Breaking Illusions: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I woke up startled. Rubbing on my eyes furiously, I opened them and glanced at the time. It was a little past midnight.I just had the craziest dream...I was in a car and I just kept hearing the cry of a baby. There was no child in the vehicle when I looked but it would not stop ringing in my ears. So I stopped the car and looked everywhere for where the cry was coming from and could not find anything. I walked further into what seemed like a park and found a cradle. The sound seemed like it was coming from there and just as I was about to get to the cot, I woke up.I hardly ever dreamt about anything so something like this was strange. "What could this mean?" I asked myself in a haze of confusion before my eyes fell on Natalie who was asleep next to me. I immediately wondered if she was pregnant. But then I shook my head, it wasn't possible. I used protection every time I was with her no matter how many times we had to go at it. Sometimes she wanted it raw but I never agreed. I ma

Dante was fussy. So fussy, I knew something had to be wrong with him.River and I had taken turns in trying to put him to sleep but nothing was working. His temperature was running high so we had to get him to the hospital.His loud cries echoed as we reached the hospital. A doctor attended to us as soon as we rushed in.It wasn't until things had stabilized and my son had stopped crying that I fully saw his face. "Doctor Jason?" I said in shock.He looked confused for a second before his face morphed into a look of realization. He was one of the doctors I used to see in hospital with when I was trying to have a baby back in Washington."Mrs Adams." He said with a polite smile."Just call me Aurora." I said.He nodded with a polite smile, "Alright. This is your son?" A smile of relief crossed my face as I answered, "Yes my baby boy.""He looks very much like his father." He remarked."Indeed he does." I nodded. Everyone who knew Leo would say the same and I was used to it."You mov

"When are you going to propose to her?" I shut my eyes and let out a groan, "Mom don't start." I knew that her unexpected visit to my office so early in the day had to be more than just checking on me like she had said. "You two have been together long enough for you to know it's about time you take the necessary steps." "We're not ready for that kind of commitment yet." I said, speaking for myself mostly. "You two are in a relationship yes?" She asked. "Yes." "So what are you dating for? Sex?" "Mom..." I groaned, rubbing my palms over my face. I did not need this kind of conversation on a Wednesday morning. "Leonardo you're my only son. I am not getting any younger, neither are you." She was going through the emotional blackmail route. "Mom, I'm thirty-one." I deadpanned. I was not a fifty year old or something of that sort. "Old enough to be a father. You're my only child for goodness sake!" "Give it time. I'll propose and we will get married at the right time." I said t

"Wow." I sighed when I saw the post. Dante was laid on my heaving chest so I tried to not make a sound as I placed him next to me gently, hoping he would not wake up as soon as he felt me leave."Riv,""Hey what's up?" She answered, raising her head up from Antonio's shoulder. My brother came around a few days before and I was glad to see that they had finally made up."Leo just got engaged," I showed her the post."Wow." She sighed just like I did. We had stayed together for so long, we had started to talk alike."I saw it on a friend's story last night." Antonio said."Hmm. Congrats to him." I shrugged. "Yeah. But Aurora...?""Yes?"River heaved a breath before speaking, "Don't you think it's about time you let him know about your son. He's about to get married and probably start a family in a not so distant future, and still has no idea he has a son somewhere. It's unfair don't you think?" I let out a breath as well. "I'll tell him when the time is right.""On his wedding day or a

Hi guys. How are you all doing? I know you’ve been anticipating a chapter update for a while now and I even promised to round up the book this month. I really meant it but… Unfortunately Aurora cannot be updated for now because my laptop has gone bad and the cost of fixing it is something I can’t afford right now. I wish I could update from my phone but that’s not possible due to the fact that the writing app I use isn’t available on IOS. Sincere apologies🙏 I really hope I can rectify it soon🥹 Thanks for understanding
