JACOBAs she walked away I couldn't help but feel so mad at myself. How could I be selfish and irresponsible?Carrying my child and also losing the baby yet I didn't know or care. I portray to the world that I could be kind when I want to be but it looks like I have shown her my ruthlessness as well.“Aurora, wait,” I tried to stop her but it was too late.“Don't,” Carina stood in front of me with her eyes blazing in anger.“How could you?” She asked, I could almost hear hatred in her voice.“I didn't know,” my voice came out low.“That's no excuse,” she said and I nodded.“I want to make it up to her. I need her back in my life Carina,” I said and she shook her head.“Not after this. I'm sorry but no, you are not getting her back and I'm no longer interested in helping you,” she said and walked away.I walked behind her and she raced towards Aurora, who now wore sunglasses as she left the mansion.I looked at Sophie and Maria as they walked towards me, “what did you do?” They both as

AURORA“Careful with that,” I said to the attendant helping me load some new furniture in the house.I need a change of scenery. This past few months has been one problem to another. Ranging from Diego and now Jacob, who doesn't seem to be far away from me.“Is this really necessary, Aurora?” Carina asked, grumbling. She was working in her office but then the furniture arrived and she had to leave.“We were bugged, remember,” I said, glaring at her.“Martin said we are bug free. They swept through the house. Right Martin?” She said, looking at Martin to back her up but he didn't say a word.“Well, looks like Martin knows better,” I said and she gave out a loud groan.“Ma'am everything has been set, the way the previous one was,” the attendant said to me and I nodded.“You can go…” she didn't even allow me to complete my sentence, Carina stormed into the house.I rolled my eyes at her tactics, “see them out. Will you Martin?” I walked back into the house to complete my knitting.I deci

AURORAAs I drove through my car towards the courthouse, I couldn't help but feel betrayed by Jacob's attitude. Why will he compromise the case like him? What the hell was he thinking?“Martin is right behind us,” Carina said, looking at the rearview mirror.I nodded and took a turn towards the street of the courthouse, “is Madeline going to meet us there?” I asked.“I'm expecting a response from her,” Carina said, looking at her phone.“Hey,” I said, glancing at her, “you don't have to be here,” I said to her. “It's okay for you not to be here,”“We are driving towards your ex-husband, is it okay not for you to be there?” She asked.“I'm just…”“Looking after me,” she cuts me off, I raised an eyebrow and titled my head.“I get it and I understand,” she said, “but I need to work, I want to work. Besides he won't be there,” she said and I nodded.I pulled into the parking lot in front of the courthouse and headed in.We could see Madeline standing in front of the courtroom. How did she

AURORAIt’s been a few days since the day at the courthouse and the trial between Jacob and his uncle has begun. I made an exception to excuse myself because I didn't want to be in the crossfire.Everywhere I go, Reporters, tries to get comments from me concerning the trials and it’s getting tiring and frustrating all together. Carina hasn’t been to the office lately because she is trying her best to avoid Andre.“Aurora,” speaking about the son of bitch.“Miss Clinton,” I said to him. He stopped on his track and turned around.“What?” he asked, surprised at my reaction.I walked towards him, looking at him in the eye, “you seem to be heading to a date,” he said, trying to make jokes with me.“I was,” i said to him, “but then i placed a call to Carina, telling her I’m on my way and she broke down in tears,” i said and watched him go uncomfortable.“I didn't mean to hurt her,” he said, walking away and I scoffed.“But you did hurt her,” I said and he stopped walking. “She has never ope

AURORAI scoffed and looked at Madeline, who kept a straight face, “you don't mean that's why you need my help?” I asked, pointing at the tablet.“Without your testimony, Evans will be released and Jacob's company will automatically go to him,” Madeline said.Carina scoffed, “that's what we all said the last time. This was inevitable,” she said.“Not if Aurora can stop it,” Madeline said, looking at me.“I don't know if I can, Madeline. Jacob might not have been violent towards me that doesn't mean he didn't hurt me,” I said to her.“You just need to say he wasn't a violent man, that's all the Judge wants to hear,” Madeline said.“Why isn't he here, asking her himself?” Carina asked.“The judge won't let him leave the courtroom. He thinks Jacob might corece you,”she said and I laughed.“Corece me?” I asked, still laughing, “I doubt he can look me in the eye right now,” I said to her.“That's the second reason, he didn't want to come,” Madeline said, “what happened between you two?” Sh

JACOBWe all sat by the cage, wondering about the question Aurora placed before us. I honestly don't know what my own Mother will gain by going against me.I mean she is my mother, she should be protecting me not giving ammos to my enemies.“What if she isn't doing this on her own?” Aurora asked me. She being here has made things easy for me, I know it's hard for her being here and also being made to testify but being here has brought some ease to my soul.All I want to do is hold her and keep holding her, unfortunately I can't.“I can't think of any reason why Evans will have to blackmail her,” I said to her.“You might not know doesn't mean there isn't,” she said, “or you are just going to believe she has it out for you?” She asked me.I took a sip from the hot coffee the waiter just brought to our table. I spat it out immediately, “that was disgusting,” I said and watched her lips turn into a smile.“You shouldn't have taken it, the coffee around here sucks,” she said.“But there s

AMY ( JACOB'S SISTER)“The hearing is getting brutal,” I said to my mom who was engrossed on her phone. She has been like that ever since I opened up the channel for the hearing between my brother and my uncle.“Mom, are you listening?” I asked her and she nearly cut my head off.“Of course I am!” She yelled, “your brother brought this upon himself by trying to get back to that Aurora girl,” she said.“Aurora didn't do this to Jacob, Katherine did,” I said to her.“If you say so,” she said and walked away. I know my mom has always favored Katherine more than Aurora but this is way too confusing.She must have seen what Katherine did to Linda's daughter and still she is still on her side.“Why are you protecting Katherine?” I asked her and she stopped walking.“What makes you think I'm protecting her?” She asked.“It's pretty obvious Mom,” I said, “all the evidence points at her walking with Uncle Evans to steal Dad's company and you are still on her side,” I said and she walked toward

AURORAI looked at Amy trying to bargain with me at the expense of her brother’s life. What kind of family is this? How did I get tangled with them in the first place?“You can seriously be bargaining with your brother’s company and maybe his life,” I said to her, she squeezed her eyes shut.“I’m only doing what I think is best for me. No one cares about me, no one,” tears ran down her cheeks.“Why do you think that is Amy?” I asked her, not shaken by her tears. Amy always joined her Mother in taunting me and bringing me down and now she wants to work for me. How ironic.“I know I treated you poorly when you were married to Jacob. I wasn’t…”“Wasn’t what?” I asked her, “wasn’t bold enough to stand up to your own mother?” I asked her.“You don’t know what that’s like, having to fight tooth and nail for your mother’s love or affection,” her mouth set a hard line.I sighed deeply, “you are right, I don’t know what’s like,” I said, “guess you haven’t changed after all,” I turned around.“

AURORA“Copper?” I whispered, staring right into his eyes. My fingers dunk into the arm of the chair beside me and I tried to keep my anger from washing over me.“What are you doing here?” I asked him.“I'm here to help you, apparently,” he said and I scoffed.“The only person you help is yourself,” I said to him and he looked away from me.“It's good to see you, Jacob,” he said, shaking hands with him. Jacob looks at me wondering my connection with him. I'm looking at wondering the same too.Copper was a liaison with one of the companies I signed a contract with back in Spain. We walked together during the course of the project and it was a success.Not until he was about to set me up for an embezzlement he committed to cover up his track. The money was refunded back to the company but no one was able to prove Copper was behind it.He is a convincing son of a bitch, if he is here to help Jacob, he better believe Copper will want something from him.“Aurora,” I heard Madeline behind m

AURORA“What the hell, Andre?” I yelled at him with the gun pointed at my face.“What are you doing following me?” He asked, “you could have been followed as well,” he said looking worried.“I will answer all your questions when you put the gown down,” I said to him and he sighed.He laid the gun down and directed me into the lake house, “it's nice,” I said, trying to create a conversation.Here I am with my employee and a gun in his hands.“I'm sorry about the gun,” he said, placing it on a table.“What is it for?” I asked him.He sighed and looked at me, “for a lot of things, which includes keeping intruders away,” he said to me and I scoffed.“Why do you have to keep intruders away?” I asked him.“You shouldn't have followed me, Aurora,” he said, running his fingers through his hair.“I made sure I wasn't followed,” I said to him.“Or really, you suddenly have tactical evading skills?” He asked and I looked at him confused.“I don't understand what you just said but that doesn't me
