31: This Is What You Want!

KATHERINEI kept tapping my heels against the floor expecting Jacob to pay attention.Ever since Aurora came back from the dead apparently, he has been acting differently. He knows I have something against him but these days he seems to not pay attention to me.“Jacob, darling, did you hear me?” I asked, trying to appease him.“Katherine, I'm busy and I do not have time for you,” he said, not looking up from his laptop.“What's going on?” I asked myself. Did Aurora forgive him? Are they back together?All these questions filled my mind as I watched him. But right now I need him to listen to me.Aurora managed to get those paintings and jewelry just to taunt me. What she doesn't know is that those things are worth more than she thinks they are.“You need to listen to me, Jacob!” I slammed my hands against his table, shaking everything he was doing.“What's wrong with you, Katherine?” He flared up, looking away from his laptop.Now I have his attention.“I wouldn't have done that if you

AURORAI have been receiving a lot of positive comments ever since I gave the world a more determined me.The video gained a wide audience and favoritism and I gained a lot of new followers. I received an invitation from some brands to have a sit down but I would need to have a talk with my board of directors on that.“What's the hold up?” I asked my driver, because we have been stuck in the same position for a while.Carina isn't with me. She had gone ahead to prepare for the meeting. There are a lot of things to do and I want to be a step ahead.“Just the traffic light, ma'am,” he said and concentrated on the road.I took a glance at him and turned to my phone, I connected my earbuds to my phone and opened up the message Katherine sent to me.The message had been previously opened and sex sounds filled my room. It would be weird listening to it out loud in the car with my driver, hence the earbuds.The video opened and her moans filled my ears but that wasn't my focus. It was Jacob,

AURORAI screamed inside my head at the sound of such great news. I could feel my eyes sparkle but I braced myself for another news.“How did you find out?” I asked both Madeline and Carina.“The link to the auction was sent out discreetly,” Carina said.My nose wrinkled, “don't you think that was too easy?” I asked.“No, I don't think so,” Madeline said, “we didn't get the link but other companies with portfolio not even half of ours got it,” I sat on the chair and crossed my legs, “what do you mean?”“I only got the link because a friend sent it to me. I think it was a deliberate act,” she said with an assurance.“You might be right but I have never heard of a CEO selling his own company,’’ I pressed my hands against my cheeks.“Maybe he is trying to cut his losses,” Andre said, “he can see that he can defeat you,”“True,” I frowned, “but I have never known Jacob to back down from a fight,” I said to them.Carina scoffs and I turned to face her, “he's not winning and he knows it,”

JACOBI got to the hallway of the conference room in my company's building. This is the second time I'm feeling anxious to step into a room with people who want to take my job or my company.The first time was when my father announced me CEO, every eyes in the room threw daggers at me, especially my Uncle Evan, who wants the company for himself.I still haven't found out how my computer is being sold on an Auction site. Major stakes have been placed on the company and it is very close to being sold.“Nervous?” I heard Braden's voice beside me.“Like the first time,” I exhaled deeply.“You crushed that effortlessly,” he said, smiling and nodded to the guards to open up the doors.I inhaled and walked in, the boards were all seated. I stood in front of the door with it closed behind me. Braden moved to his seat but I remained where I was.Seeing I wasn't moving, they all stood up from their seats.“Morning, Mr. Crane,” they all greeted me, apart from my Uncle who just stood up.“Good m

AURORAI hit my bed the moment I stepped into my room with Carina right behind me. I haven't said a word since we got here and I think she is starting to worry.“What happened?” She asks, I gave her a look wondering if she wasn't there to see what happened.“What happened is, Jacob hoed his way into getting that contract,’’ I said to her.“There is no way that happened,” she said, looking at me with disbelief.“So you think after all our sleepless nights and knowing what they would put together for their presentation that they somehow beat us?” I asked her.“I don't think that's what happened but you said it yourself Jacob likes to play with the rules except really backed up,” she said.“Well it looks like he is backed against a corner with his company on an auction website,” I said to her.I got up from the bed and walked into my closet. I took off my heels and placed them on the shelves, my low slippers were right underneath it.“I still think he did all that to make you jealous,” s

AURORAI close the door of my car and drove from the ice cream spot at the speed of lightning. I didn't listen to the screams of people, I just needed to get to where I'm going.My heart raced and my mind consumed with Carina's voice. “It's Sophia, she just got, the Mansion was ransacked,” I just needed to get to the mansion, I needed to see it for myself, if my employees were safe and how damaged the building is.I sped through the streets, weaving in and out of traffic, my tires screeching and making a lot of loud noises as I took sharp turns. I didn't care about the danger or the consequences. I just needed to get to where I want to be at the moment.As I drove, my phone kept ringing non stop. It was Carina, trying to reach me, I ignored it. She should know better than to call me whenever I'm driving, especially during an emergency.I finally got to Sophia's mansion and she was standing by the side entrance, I got out of the car and Martin walked towards me.“How bad is it?” I ask

JACOBI watched as she drove off in a car like someone whose house is on fire. How did she know about the auction?What am I even doing, of course she knows about the auction. She probably found out the same way I did, on the website.I didn't even say a word about my company to her, maybe she could help or maybe she is the one behind it. Besides the irresistible attraction I know she has for me I know she has a lot of hate and revenge against me.I got into my car with my ice cream and drove straight to Braden's house. He will have an idea of what we can do.Hopefully, Maria, his wife, doesn't kick me out. I set the ice cream on the passenger seat and drove off. I know I said some nasty things to Aurora during our marriage against ice cream.I just wanted her to think I had a negative thing against it but I love ice cream. The flavor and the sweetness it gives to my tongue bring chills down my spine.I looked at the ice cream and back on the road, my mind filled with how it would ta

JACOBI opened up my eyes and she was here anymore.“Aurora! Aurora! Aurora!!!!” I felt a heavy splash of water on my body.“Huh, she's not here,” I could hear the smug in Maria's voice.“What the hell are you doing dreaming about a woman sent to prison?” Sounded rather pissed at me. I guess she is a fan of Aurora.“I didn't…” I thought about telling her more but there is no use arguing with Maria especially now that she is pregnant.“You should let her go, or things are going to get nasty,” she said and maybe she was right. Especially with Katherine not leaving my life.I nodded at her and she took the plate from the table, “you love her,” she said.“I don't know,” I stammered, “if I love her now why didn't I love her before,’’ I said to her.“Because sometimes you men like to be challenged and a powerful woman does that,” she said, it sounded like I'm getting a lesson.*But Katherine is a powerful woman,” I didn't realize what I had said until it kept out.Maria busted out laughing,

KATHERINEI watched as he took her away in his arms and she smiled. I'm guessing just for the show. Nobody knows apart from this inner circle that they have been married before.That's the leverage I have been holding against Jacob for the past five years and If they somehow get together again. I will lose everything, that's for sure.I can't let that happen. I have come too far to let Aurora take everything away from me again. I defeated her once and I will do it again.I watched as Maria chatted with Braden and a man that could be the target. Even when Aurora disappeared it took a while for Jacob to see me. He always ended up in Braden's house despite Maria's dislike of him.Aurora's laughter room and everyone smiled at the sound of it. What Jacob is saying to her, that is making her smile and giggle.He didn't say a word to me when I entered the building and stood by his side. I did a lot of things to look this beautiful for him and he still doesn't regard me.I gave myself a good

AURORAHis tongue danced along with mine and I felt like I was in heaven. I sat on the basin of the bathroom and I felt his hands on my ass.“Aurora,” he moaned out my name and I opened my eyes to see where I was. I thought it was one of my daydreams but it isn't. I'm actually here, kissing my ex husband.Jacob was in front of me, his eyes locked on mine. We were both breathing heavily and I could feel the tension between us.Then I remembered where we were, the gala. We were in the bathroom of course but definitely surrounded by people. I looked around the bathroom, trying to get my bearings.“What are we doing, Jacob?” I asked him, trying to sound calm but deep down I was cursing myself for making out with him.He smiled at me, his eyes still locked with mine. “I think we just got carried away,” he said.I nodded and pushed him slightly and got down from the basin. I checked my gown and saw the stain from the champagne Katherine spilled on me had minimized.“Where are you going?” Ja
