Michael POV:I finally found the twat having a chat with an old man I've never seen before, he seemed like a reputable figure with how classy he dressed. I walked up to him slowly, careful not to draw attention to myself. I tapped his shoulder gently, but he was having none of that. "Mr. Aiyelero" I called He finally turned around and stared at me irksomely like he would a dirty rat, it infuriated the hell out of me."You came" He said "Of course, I did. You weren't expecting me to show up""I thought entry was strictly by invitation, I didn't know know they allowed both dogs and sheep in.""Says the man that mauled his wife for 30 years, I think the animal amongst us knows better"He was thinking swiftly for a better clap back when someone called me out."Mr. Angelo" He called I turned to see Calhoun Ballenge walking towards me arms wide. "Calhoun Ballenge" I replied, trying to fill my words with enough enthusiasm."You came?" He asked "Well I'm here, aren't I" I chuckled "I
Aurora POV:The party was was just incredible, never have I seen that number of prominent figures all at once before. They all stood in clusters of four, five and six, having a chat.I expected to feel the bewildered and accusing eyes thrown my way as soon as we stepped, the former I could understand why, the latter I'm not so sure. But it seems like no one actually gave a damn about me, rather it was Mr. Jordan drawing all the attention. Despite wearing quite an alluring clothe, I felt so small and out of place. For every second longer I felt even smaller. I felt myself being viscerally pushed to an edge."Hey What's wrong Aurora?" He asked softly "Your face looks drain of blood, don't tell me you are getting cold feet" "Mr. Jordan - " "Leo" He replied assertively "Leo" I said akwardly "perhaps coming here was a bad idea""Why?" "I feel like everyone is staring at me like an elephant on a tree. What secretary becomes his boss date""Its all in your head, Aurora. If they all are,
Michael POV:I walked in front and turned around a few times to make sure he trailed behind me. "Where are we going" He demanded "Shut up and follow me" He looks exasperated by my reply but said nothing and followed me.I got to where I was sure there was no camera to my knowledge around Calhoun Ballenge house and stopped. I brought out the divorce papers and handed it to him to sign."Why come all the way out here to sign a divorce papers, are you retarded?" "You should have said that earlier so I could hand it to you infront of everyone you fucking coward.""What did you just call me""Just sign the goddam divorce papers Mr. Aiyelero" "Fucking peasants and not knowing their place"I knew he was trying to rile me up, so I simply laughed it off."Where is the pen" I brought out a pen from my breast pocket and handed it to him. After staring daggers at me for a moment he finally signed it. He threw it at me after he was done signing it, I carefully bent down and picked it up. It
Micheal POV:I watched her for a brief moment, all alone just staring at my art on the wall. I wasn't surprised she seemed to enthralled with it, I've been told how captivating my art is and how it's capable of putting people in a trance."Are you going to meet her or you are planning to just stand stare" Cal said jolting me back.I realized I was also feeling a trance like effect just staring at her, her enthralling aura was a thousand fold the art. She looked so beautiful I could only glare, I have ran into two to three times and knew by how much her body has changed but never in my wildest dream did I imagine the woman right infront of me. Everything about her oozed magnificence, from her flaxen hair that hung above her shoulder to her toe covered by the splitted flowing gown she was wearing and the rich part of her thigh of the other leg that was there to ogle at, her arm was also exposed and so was a rich part of her cleavage I can see from a distance. How did she become so beaut
Micheal POV: I looked at the glass of champagne that fell from her hand and the spilt liquid was starting to flow. Could it be the drink?"Someone call the ambulance" A Voice shouted "I already did" Cal replied. I had no idea he was right behind me."No, I'm not waiting again for an ambulance. I won't make the same mistake twice. Another important person won't die on me" I muttered "Get me part of that drink, even if it's a drop." I said to CalI arose with her in my arms and ran towards the door. Cal was right behind me, half running and half walking to keep up with me."What are you doing" he asked"Where do you think, I'm heading to the hospital""In my garage?""I'm taking your Tesla" "I've already called the ambulance, they would be here any minute now""If you expect me to wait for the ambulance while someone I care about wither away then you are spastic Cal" I will be able to sleep at night knowing I tried my possible best rather than watch and do nothing, I will never be
Aurora POV:I woke up squinting at the bright light overhead. Someone was rubbing something cool on the back of my hand, but the slickness quickly turned to a jab of pain. I flinched and turned my head. A nurse was securing an IV into my hand with tape. An IV? I was in the hospital? Pain slithered between on my temples, fogging my thoughts, and the bleach smell wafting off the sheets turned my stomach. The last thing i remembered was talking to Mr. Angelo at the party.Then, nothing.I felt a wave of drowsiness sweep through me, whatever was in the IV was making me ....I Fade out. I woke up again to a beeping sound. I was not oblivion to my surroundings this time , a strong familiar stench filled my nose, it was the hospital that have such amalgam of smell emanating from varied sources, ranging from strong cleaning agents to the smell of drugs. Faces poke through the haze, linger, fade away. They peer down, ask me questions. They all ask questions. Do I know who I am? Do I hurt any
Aurora POV:I slowly regained consciousness to the loud voices of two nurses. They seem oblivious to the fact I had woken up. I wanted to shut out their screeching undertone by closing my eyes, but it didn't work, their voices only got louder in my head. I cursed under my breath. I wanted to sit up perhaps it would shut them up."She is so lucky" one said "I wish I was that lucky" the other replied staring in my direction.I hesitated and delayed sitting up curious of what they were saying. Lucky? Are they stupid, I was lying on an hospital bed after almost dying, what do they mean lucky."I wish I could have such a perfect man lift me in his arm""Do you see how distraught he looked""Who wouldn't, he looked like he was about to cry" "I heard he even threatened the doctor to make her life miserable if he failed to save his wife""Wife? What do you mean wife? There's no ring on neither of their fingers""If they aren't wedded it's only a matter of time before they do, you also hear
Michael POV:When I was driven to the police station, I was so confident Cal would get me out in an heartbeat, I threw low jibs and obvious insults in their face. They both took it without uttering a reply, except Mark who grunted some inaudible replies a few times.The confidence and arrogance soon dissipated into thin air when I was thrown into a little concrete cell, devoid of anything to sit or rest on. I wasn't allowed so much as a phone call and the cuffs were left on my wrists. They were smart to realize, the person I was confident would get me out can't, if he doesn't know I was here. And they were right, Cal can only get me out if he knew where I was. I threated them at first, told them I was a lawyer and they had no right to keep me confined without a phone call. I told them I could sue the whole department and won't stop at that I will make sure they lose their jobs. They simply ignored my threats and watched me like a mad man, they knew I will give up at some point and I
