45. Drama served on the breakfast table
Manhattan
Another lovely day and Aura pleased the kitchen staff employees eyes with her vibrant appearance in the kitchen.
"Good morning, Aurora." Lancy and Maggie, from the kitchen staff, smiled.
"A very good morning, Lancy and to you too, Maggie." Aura greeted them with a toothy grin.
They were the ones who genuinely liked her despite the revelation of her secret relationship with Alpha Damien. In fact, they were happy for her and the Alpha. The news was the biggest one in a while for them.
Otherwise there were still some beings in the mansion who hated her ever since the day they saw Alpha Damien with Aurora. They refused to greet her or look her in the eye as they simply preferred to act as if she was non-existent for them. That is what she has become since it was revealed she was dating their boss.
Not boss really, using 'the prince of their dreams' would be more appropriate.
They al
46. Accept what's best for your futureThroughout the day after that she had been gloomy. Her mind won't distract away to any other topic. Even she did not let Damien's thoughts cross her mind as she worried about Chelsea and the other women and their future now.She was sitting in a chair with a book in her hand, her mind wandering to places she should not care less. Aura would not have moved if it wasn't for the disrupting buzzing of her phone.Rosario calling.... Flashed on the screen, making Aura take a deep breath before she put the phone near her ear."Hey mama, how are you doing today?" He sounded excited.Rosario merely addressed her with her name. During their conversations online or offline, he referred to her as the mother of a baby that would call him uncle. She insisted many times to avoid giving away wrong hints to the people around them but he won't listen."Hmm, good." Aura's reply conveyed her despondency. She was bad at hid
47. Aura with Rosario— caught!!!!Her eyes lowered to the ground. She knew she was everything for the Alpha but Chelsea and others... She can't stop thinking about them."Madam Martha knows more than you. You only told me that she has been in that mansion for decades. She knows what's good for the Alpha and his family, Aurora. Do not worry much. Hmm?" He asked in a very polite tone."I guess you are right. Chelsea has always been mean to me since the beginning. I tried to be nice to her but she won't change. It is better if she leaves from here." She smiled, finally accepting what was best for her and the baby.She rubbed her free hand on the stomach and smiled. Her baby had done nothing to earn anyone's hatred. Madam Martha would do things keeping in mind the little life that will soon come to live in the mansion with them. Indeed, her baby should not be exposed to such people."If possible, I will ask Damien to help them get jobs in better
48. A promise she can't make! "Damien?" She softly whispered, too shocked to react any other way. Just some while ago she was hoping to see him. She had a desire to sit next to him and enjoy the view of the starry sky above and enjoy his favorite flavor of ice cream. Aurora was hanging out with her new friend, her mind regardless, so much as imagined him. Now that he was here— she wished he wasn't. "D-damien," Aura crossed the distance lying between them and paused in front of him. She had to lift her head in order to meet his eyes and force a shivering smile on her face. She wanted to feed his doubt with the truth he was yet to know regarding her developing and strengthening friendship with Rosario, unfortunately she could not avoid the tremors crawling down her back and hands. "I missed you so mu—" "In the car, Aur
49. A night of hesitation. Sweat beads twinkled on her forehead under the white beam of a lamp post cast down on her face. Aura parted her lips to make an excuse— but to her good luck, his cell phone buzzed in the pocket of his formal pants. "I am sorry, Aura. I will have to take this call though." Damien said as he gave his phone a glance before he turned around to take the call. "Yes, Brian." Relief filled Aurora's chest. She closed her eyes at the sudden sensation of comfort given that his overwhelmingly intense eyes were off her face. Only she knew how difficult it was to lie while looking into his deep burning eyes. "Really? Gosh, I am so happy, dude." Slipping away and onto her feet, Aura approached Damien. "I can't thank you enough for this news, brother. Thanks so much." She touched his arm only to have him turn
50. A dinner date or destructive date? "Oh Damien, you really make me want to crave for you." This was the fifth time gorgeous Aurora muttered in her breath that morning since she broke from the spell of her sleep. And that's solely because when she shifted to hug him and probably graze his jaw with her soft lips to make his morning the best one, it dawned on her that he was not there. There was only his scent and a sense of his warm body lingering around her in the back of her mind from the other night. "I swear I will not let you leave me for days when you return today. You make me want you so much." She sighed. Damien was gone. He had an early meeting this morning with the foreign clients online whom he left at the mercy of his beta, Brian. The deal was going to be signed today in Brian's presence and there were some topics that needed to be discussed with the Alpha
51. Some moments of love before a storm (A) The drive to the date venue was heavenly. Though it was tranquil, the warmth transmitting to her fingers intertwined with him felt surreal. In no time they reached the destination. Damien halted the car and went out, making haste all the way to her side, in order to open the door for her. He forwarded his hand and she placed her tickling one in his. Carefully he guided her out, ensuring that neither her gown stuck anywhere in the car or her stilettos slipped. The sweet smile he's been wearing on his face wasn't leaving his lips even for a second. "Tonight I'm all yours ma'am." He made her heart flutter as he spoke into her ear, making her blush amidst nervousness. "Err, Aura, wait here for a second. I'll just come!" Saying that, he ran in the opposite direction, leaving her confused.
52. Some moments of love before a storm (B) After the dinner Damien took Aurora to the coast side. They walked for a pleasurable moment along the coast with their fingers intertwined. Neither of them spoke or even tried it. They loved the tranquility of night. Silence in the background felt like a soft romantic tune. Their feet were dusty with grains of wet sand sticking all around their skin till their ankles. Aura's hair flew with the flowing winds while her soft flesh slightly chilled in cold. But thankfully there was his hand doing its work of keeping her warm. They did not talk and let their hearts do the communication. Their breathing synced and their love-filled gaze graced each other from time to time. 'Maybe this is the time! I should tell Damien now.' Aura thought. This seemed the best timing as they were under a starry night with the glow of rice lights falling on their backs, c
53. Shattered mother and her devastated soul "Ughh!" Wincing at the throbbing pain in her head, Aurora got up as she pushed herself on her right arm while with left she clutched her skull in a hopefully soothing hold. It took everything in her body to undo her bolted lashes with great difficulty. "Damien?" She whispered his name, looking around herself. Surprise widened her eyes because she was tucked inside her blanket in the bed. She was in her room. "Damien? Where are you?" Her soft voice tore through her heavy throat. Her body was in pain. She can't remember anything about coming here in her bedroom except for the fact that they were on their dinner date. Specifically standing by the seashore after a heavenly proposal from Damien. "What happened after that?" She asked herself as she unwillingly rested her bac
