The idea of giving Aurora an audience did not sit well with Kieran, how could Arabella be so soft? After all the hardship the woman had put her through? She was supposed to be cursing her out while pulling her hair. He walked cautiously to her hoping his eyes were saying all ten words his mouth could not say then. "Do we need to?" he asked not bothering to whisper. He was on his own legal property why did he need to act like a stranger on it? "We don't need to," Arabella said pursing her lips together and crossing her hand over her chest. She gave him a faint smile as she felt her legs feel weird. She did not want to give Aurora any time to say anything but she did not want to come across to Kieran as someone who was unforgiving. She wanted him to think she was kind and forgiving that was why she was going through this right now even when her body was not exactly fine."Then why..." he trailed off when she opened her mouth to speak. "We should do it because it's the right thing to

"I would get something for us to drink, what would you like to have?" Arabella asked as they neared the living room. "I would get it, just sit here" Kieran said dragging her towards the living room. "I can get it," Arabella said in a protest."You are not feeling too well, the doctor asked you to rest up so doing anything strenuous would not be good" Kieran said stopping her from moving."It's just something to drink," Arabella said with an eye roll. He was being overly dramatic for no reason. She had a fever earlier but she was sure she was feeling better and the reason she wanted to be the one to get the drinks was because she wanted to give them some room.They had way more history together than with her. Aurora may have some things to tell him and she did not want to be in the way. Her mind felt skeptical about the meeting but she wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. She hoped she would do better now."That I can get, sit here" Kieran said dropping her to the couch and t

Aurora tried to steady herself as she walked to the car. She hated the way Kieran had belittled her. l in front of Arabella again. She bit the inside of her mouth in annoyance as she walked away.She got to the car and pushed herself into the front passenger seat. "You are you here alone?" Carlos's gruff voice came out across to her as she sat down.She felt her heartache at the fact that she was unable to finish the task to the door end. She crossed her hand across her chest and turned to him giving him a sarcastic smile. He could see she was alone so why was he trying to rub salt in her injury?"Of course genius, I am here alone" he snorted to him."Why?" he asked tapping lightly on the steering wheel. "Did you have a change of heart? Is your heart too fragile to kidnap someone?" he joked and she was not happy about it and made sure to show her displeasure."My heart isn't too fragile, Kieran stopped me," she said through gritted teeth."Then how did they manage to stop Miss Perfect

"Tomorrow?" Chole asked shocked. "Yeah call her up and ask her that we meet tomorrow" "Okay I can do that, I will call her and let you know where we will meet" "You are coming as well?" Aurora asked. "Do you not want me to come?" Chole asked catching up fast."Well, I think it would be awkward for you to be there as well. Just set up a meeting for us and send me the time and venue, after I have properly apologized to her I would set a meeting with the entire office and apologize to them as well" Aurora said."You would help me set the meeting since you are the only one in the office I can seem to get across to" she added. She had to make the girl feel special to get the deed done fast."Okay then I would let her know you want to see her" Chole said."Don't do that," "I should not?" Chole was confused."Yeah" "Why?" "Do you think she would agree to meet me? I have been trying to get to her but she is ignoring my calls meaning she would not meet up with me. Just act like it's a f

"You could have told her you want to spend the weekend with your boyfriend" Kieran grumbled as Arabella put on her lip balm."I spend all week with you I have to have time to be with friends" Arabella responded looking at him from the mirror she sat in front of."Don't you want to spend more time with me? So I am the only one who feels that way?" he mumbled to himself. She spun on the chair so she could face him. "I want to spend my whole time with you but that's impossible, I would meet her for a few hours and I would be back home" Kieran knew that she had to have her own life and he was not one to get clingy but with her everything was different."I thought we would get to go on the date we couldn't go on yesterday," he said and she shook her head."I thought so too but Chole has never asked me to hang out before so I just thought of seeing her and then coming back home" Arabella explained "Would you be home early?" Kieran asked. He had no choice but to accept because it was obvi

Arabella entered the restaurant and sat by the table. The waitress came to meet her to get her order but she informed her that she was waiting for someone and would order when the person arrived.Arabella sat for a good thirty minutes before she put a call through to Chole. She was not picking up her call and Arabella hoped all was well. She was about to stand up when Aurora sat down opposite her."No need to call Chole I am here" she said with a sinister smile."Why are you here?" Arabella asked confused. What relationship did Chole and Aurora have for her to be bold enough to make a statement like that? "Because Chole would not be coming" "What?" Arabella asked confused. She looked around for any clues."It's a wonder what Kieran sees in you, you are so daft" Aurora let out in a taunting voice and then a sinister laugh."I asked Chole to set up this meeting and like a fool she believed that I wanted to apologize to you. Why should I be the one to apologize to you?" she asked leani

Arabella felt her head throbbing, she tried to open her eyes but they felt heavy. She touched around her and the surface felt cold piercing through her clothes. She forced her eyes open and looked around. She struggled to sit upright and looked around her. The room she was in was empty with only an iron bed frame some meters away from her. She held her wrist as she winced in pain. Her mind began to wander as she tried to focus on why she was there. The last thing she could recollect was that she had an unexpected meeting with Aurora and she had been speaking gibberish. Her eyes landed on her feet which were tied together with a wire rope. She tried to pry through it with her hands but she could not. She tried to stand on her feet but it seemed like nothing was working. She heard the metal door a few meters in front of the bed squeak open. Aurora entered and stood with her hands across her chest. The three men from the restaurant stood behind her. "You are finally awake?" Aurora sa

Kieran glanced at the clock for the nth time in thirty minutes. It had been four hours since Arabella left the house. He was worried because she was not responding to all his texts, even though she was reading them. He decided to call her. He had been trying to respect her privacy so he would not seem to be clingy to her. He wanted her to be comfortable but was getting worried already since she knew not a single place in the city. "She is with Chole, Chole is almost like an indigene" Kieran whispered to himself. He had been trying to hold himself back. He tapped his phone furiously and slammed the phone to his ears.The line went through but no one picked. He furrowed his eyebrows together and called her back. This time the call did not connect and her phone was now switched off."She might be out of battery" Kieran whispered to himself. He was trying to not make a scene out of the situation but for some very strange reason, he was not comfortable at all."I am not being clingy, I w
