EMELIANAI park my car outside a familiar neighborhood, I've been to it during my high school days I must say there's been major improvements made. I used to have a boyfriend that lived here and now I don't even remember his house. The feeling of nostalgia hits, but I ignore it and focus on my phone, checking the red dot until I see my location close in on a gated household. The gate is open, so I hurry inside, sure to close it behind me.Gianna called me an hour ago, she sounded hysterical and I couldn't catch what she said was happening so I decided to drive to her, using the tracker on her phone. She knows about it, which is why she insisted that I go and get her, minus her providing me with an address. I assume she just had an argument with one of her spoiled friends and now she wants her big sister to get her. This is nothing new there but it's usually Sienna's craft not mine. Hell, I'm just glad to be called.Knocking on the door, I wait for someone to open it for me but I get n
CASSIANI've spent the last week with my fiancé and her family, as annoying as she is, we've got some common ground. She's not my ideal choice for a bribe but close enough, she'll have to do. My choice in a woman is near to Caelum's choice but less fiery, the kind of fire that Aurora exudes would scorch me a little bit. I've been in contact with Aurora throughout my trip, and her near death experience that rattled Caelum appears to have done the same to her too.I had ordered a few beers and texted my party people about the party I would be holding at my place tonight, to celebrate my return from my short trip but if I'm being entirely honest, it's to celebrate the misery that has not yet befallen me as I prepare for my marriage. Emelia and Aurora said they were not coming because they would be enjoying a night out in the city by themselves. Those two have formed what Ryker, Bishop, Caelum, and I had built the moment we met and it comes just as effortlessly. It's pure, my fiance will
CAELUMThere was a time when I was desperately pleading with Scarlett for a baby, and now that there's light of us having one? I'm not thrilled, I want to be thrilled, I want to be happy about it but I can't find one fatherly bone in my body to help me. Possibly its the wrong timing that hasn't sat with me but I'm having a hard time connecting with Scarlett on the news. Still, I have to consider her feelings, I shouldn't have reacted as irrational as I did because at the end of the day it takes two to make a baby.We made that baby, regardless of how drunk I was, it's time to face up to my actions. I was going to divorce her but now, I'm not sure what to do but I do know that I can't let another man raise my child and I don't want Aurora to further suffer.I'm drunk, and high as a kite, craving more because what I already took isn't doing the job, making me forget. My phone lights up with yet another message from Aurora, she's ecstatic planning for her store opening. I've given her a
AURORA Chapter One I slip past the numerous club members and new clients making my way to the backdoor. It's unguarded, the security team is obviously busy helping maintain order at the other entrances. I let out an outstretched hand and heard a lot of people say, this is where dreams go to die. My hand reaches into my bag for my card, swiping it through the card reader to unlock the doors. The people that work here say this is where dreams come to die while the people that come here say it's where dreams come alive. Both are right.Fantasy Elite is the house of sin. If the devil had favourite places, Fantasy Elite would make top of the list. The most despicable beings of all creatures in the world come here to get treated like royalty. This is where sadistic, masochist, all sorts of perverted men and women come to fulfil their desires and get treated like royalty for exhibiting their diabolical ways. Fantasy Elite is not just a strip club, it's a sex club. One req
Chapter TwoCAELUM Tonight, I had plans with my friends like I do every Friday. What I didn't know is it would lead me to my past. I prefer not to come to this club in particular because my sister runs around these parts and I prefer she not know I purchased shares in this club around the same time she started working here. I could tell her about it but my sister is stubborn and she would think her fiancé, my friend Ryker and I did it to control her but it's not like that.At some point five years ago, this cooperation was in the dumps, my four friends and I purchased fifteen percent of the business each and we worked to raise it. It was a good investment, an undergoing elite sex club that we turned around. Cassian and Bishop with their architecture, Ryker with his engineering and me with my bone for flipping businesses. None of us have had interest in anything to do with a club that didn't involve money until two months ago. Cassian was here to run an errand, why did he do it i
(Caelum POV continues)“Rumor, these are my friends, Ryker, Bee, I mean Bishop and Caelum.” Cassian says, pointing to each of us with his phone as he tells her our names. Why does he have his phone, did he get her number?Ryker and Bishop smile at her and she returns their smiles before looking at me with the same phoney smile. “I think I know him.” Cassian's smile fades, he thinks any girl that says she knows me with a smile like that has been under me and he's not wrong, she has been under me, only she was smaller back then. “You think?” I ask, setting my drink on the table beside me. I've had too much already. Aurora nods confidently, “Cassian, why are you introducing the pretty lady?” I ask, my eyes staying on Aurora's empty eyes, her mouth curved into a fake grin.“I want to make her my friend so I brought her to meet my other friends.” he winked at me.“We are friends Cassian, as of ten minutes ago.” she grins, her eyes darting to Cassian who places a hand on her waist.
AURORASomething is dangling. I was certain I put that goddamn alarm clock in the donation box. I don't feel like waking up before Layla comes to wake me, but this clock will wake us both up. I reach my hand out to my bedside table but I can't reach it, irritated by its sound I groan and open my eyes. They're extra heavy today, I rub them gently with a yawn. I open my eyes once again but this time, I sit up with a gasp.I don't recognize this place, too spacious, all white carpet on the floor, open blinds and a pure white wall, where am I and who the fuck..? My gaze running across the room taking in its appearance, I missed something. Someone is sleeping next to me, this someone reeks of alcohol and oozes masculinity from miles away. When I peek at his face it all comes back to me, of course, how could I forget, Caelum was there last night and I drank enough for confrontations. He need not confront me because I had no answers or valid alibi for my past actions but fuck me
Aurora (AGE FIFTEEN) [Seven years Ago]I want to cry. But I can't. Mother says no one should ever see me crying in public and I agree, I can't let this many people see my weakness. Not crying is taking everything I have in me, I can't hold it in anymore and I can't cry in front of my psycho friends a second time about the same absurd issue. I'm the strong one, I get myself together after having one crying session or two but that doesn't seem to be the case today. I've cried a lot and if I cry one more time, my friend Katherine is going to break my ex-boyfriend's nose again.Katherine and Grace are sitting on the other side of the booth, with Olivia and I on the other side. My drink is untouched, I'm toying with the glass as I hold back tears. We're in a restaurant slash bar, we shouldn't be here but thanks to Olivia's fake ID, we have alcohol. Olivia looks like the youngest among us, probably because she actually looks sixteen but the rest of us not so much. I have been
