*AURORA*
I took my hand away from his again.
Doesn’t he know if someone sees him holding me like that, it’d definitely be a big deal?
Since I was hungry, I asked,”Where are we eating at?”
“My lounge.”He replied.
***************
I was sitting on a sofa at his lounge, watching as Sergio placed a lot of dishes on the table that he had ordered.
He nodded, respectfully at us after he was done.
“Thank you.”I murmured and then he left the room.
Damon was sitting beside me as we began to eat.
“So, I told you earlier that I wanted more.”He began as he peeled a shrimp.
I almost choked.
Couldn’t he talk about sex later?
“And I agreed to come over tonight.”
“No, not that. More in the sense that, I want you to be my girlfriend.” He let out, sounding so serious.
This time, I choked for real.
He qui
*AURORA*I went back to the TV station and as soon as I walked in, Vance ran up to me.“Aurora, you truly are a blessing to this TV station. The response to the interview was massive, several big advertisers have indicated that they want to invest in our newly opened column, the column’s advertisement space is being booked, rapidly. Several TV stations keep calling for advice. The CEO said there will be a great reward for you.”I smiled.”I’m glad everything turned out well for the TV station.”I replied, politely.A group of people surrounded me.“Aurora, you’re amazing. We’ve been getting calls nonstop from different high societal people. We didn’t even ask to interview them but they are the ones begging to be interviewed by us!”“This is massive!”“How did you convince Mr Dumont to accept the interview?”“I really need to start taki
*AURORA*“It’s not a threat.”I informed him.“You love me too much to leave.”He taunted.“You seem to really enjoy knowing that I loved you too much.”“I didn’t ask for you to be so obsessed with me.”I sighed, heavily regretting the fact that I really made it seem I couldn’t live without him.That really gave him the confidence to do whatever he wanted to me. I was never going to let my guard down for anyone again.I was never going to be that stupid.“I don’t care if you believe it or not, but I have no love left for you, Lucien. I want nothing to do with you anymore.” With that, I crouched down and packed up the rest of my stuff.“I’ll tell Grandpa and the others about our separation tonight. This is what we both need.”I said to him as I zipped up my luggage.Just then, the butler came to announce that dinner w
Deep down, Lucien knew that when they were little, Aurora never did anything to put him in a bad spot on purpose.He knew she joined most of those competition because she loved following him around but right now, he just couldn’t describe exactly he felt, he had this hatred for her that he couldn’t explain and that was why he found faults in everything she did, even finding faults in what happened when they were literally kids.But at the same time, he felt she could never leave him. Even if he talked about leaving her all the time, even if he told Carla that he was definitely getting a divorce, he felt that he’d have to put up a huge fight again for Aurora to finally let him go.Her letting go of him this way felt unreal.He lowkey enjoyed having her all over him.She had a smile on her face as she moved closer to him.“You think I was making a scene back there?”She asked.He quickly thought of what to a
*AURORA*“You said you spent seven years abroad, when did you come back?”“About six years ago.”I mentally calculated his age from what he had said so far.“So you’re thirty-one.”He grinned.”And you’re almost twenty-five.”I laughed.”You definitely know everything.”“I do.”“Since you got back, do you always cook for yourself?”“Rarely.”“I thought it was a routine you’re used to because of last night and now, you cooked a lot.”“To impress you, I guess. Also, I had a feeling you would be leaving him tonight. I made a feast so we could celebrate.”He then poured us two glasses of wine.He lifted up his glass.”To you, Aurora for…I can’t exactly call that a marriage, so let’s say for leaving the darkness.”I laughed as I
*AURORA*I laid naked on his bed, placing my hands on his back as Damon kissed me over and over again.He was naked, on top of me.He pulled his face back a bit and whispered how beautiful I was.“Do you know how many times you’ve called me beautiful tonight?”I asked him.He grinned.”Well, I think I might need to find words greater than beautiful. I need you to know how beautiful you are every single minute, every hour, everyday.”Should I ban him from saying such sweet words to me, it literally gave me butterflies.I’m not supposed to feel butterflies with him but I liked it when he praises me like this.Maybe it was okay to feel butterflies.He makes me feel beautiful.Damon’s lips brushed across mine, so soft and tender. A tiny kiss at the corner of my mouth, then back to my lips and then my cheek, light like a feather tickling against it.He kissed me on the chi
*AURORA*I blinked, squinting my eyes open.The bedroom was dimly lit and I looked over, realizing that Damon wasn’t in bed.I could still smell the lingering scent of his cologne in the rumpled sheets though.On the bedside table, I stared at the fancy digital clock and my eyes dilated.I have to go get ready for work now if I didn’t want to be late.As I got out of bed, I could feel how tender my lady parts were. It made me blush.I got my clothes, wrapped a quilt around my body and headed for my floor.I met the butler on the way and he described my bedroom to me.As I got there, I was amazed and impressed at how big, cozy and classy the room was.Like it had been arranged to suit my taste.My luggage was already there. I was glad that it was still unpacked.I didn’t want anyone unpacking my underwears. I made a mental note to unpack when I got back from work.I only brought out the clothes I’d be needing today and a scarf.The moment Damon had noticed that I really enjoyed being k
*AURORA*On my way to work, I stopped by the hospital to get on the pills.I could not keep on relying on morning after pills.It was safer to just be on a birth control plan.As I sat down waiting for my turn, I stared at the heavily pregnant woman sitting across from me at the waiting hall.The man beside her, who might be her husband but was definitely her romantic partner because the way he stared at her and the way he kept making sure she was comfortable showed that he was all over her.At some point, he placed his hand on her belly and whispered something in her ear which made her smile.I looked away from them.I was once a lover girl. Picturing this kind of attention from my husband, when I fell pregnant, when we had our children.I wanted to be a good mother, I wanted to always be there for my kids, be someone my children would always find loving and comfortable with. I pictured raising them with my husband in love and harmony.But now, I don’t think I had any love left in me
*AURORA*What did I ever do to have a man like Diego as my birth father?What did I ever do to be cursed like this?!As I drove home, I was burning with rage!Why am I being punished for this?I don’t even know him!When I first found out about this before. Because immediately after it had happened, my birth mother had told Isobel the truth about her real family.When the news about Diego’s murder crime was released back then, it wasn’t linked to me.Even if Hannah had also published news about finding her real daughter back then too, they didn’t directly link me or Isobel to knowing or being related to Diego.But now, everyone knew. Everyone knew how despicable my birth father was.He was all shades of evil.I hated him, I hated him so much.But I still carried his blood and even if I didn’t know him, I felt a sense of responsibility and after I could pull myself together after losing my family, I had reached out to the victim’s family.To the girl’s family. They were incredibly nice
Not wanting to stay here and be embarrassed more than this, Carla immediately went to the personnel department.After Carla left, Alma took Aurora’s hand and led her to the hallway.Aurora suddenly spoke, "I'm sorry, Mum."Alma was surprised, "My dear, what are you apologising for all of a sudden?”Aurora replied, "I didn’t tell you that I was going to a birthday party organized by the Diaz and I told your friend not to tell you about what happened as well.”Last night, after all the guests had gone to the 20th floor, Aurora ran into Alma’s closest friend, Mrs Lolita and pleaded with her not to tell Alma about what transpired on the 19th floor.She didn’t want Alma to worry about her.But Mrs Lolita knew how much Alma loved Aurora and so she couldn’t keep it away from her friend.After returning home, she immediately gave Alma a call and told her everything that had happened.That had enraged Alma and she stormed into the TV station to make Carla pay for what she did.Alma didn't get
Everyone gathered around were really confused.After Alma said that, she walked over to Aurora’s side.Looking at Aurora, her gaze was tender and loving.“Rory, are you alright? Hannah called me last night, I was so angry that I couldn’t sleep for the whole night, if I was there last night, I would never have let you suffer so much, the Diaz family, is getting more and more unlike them, if I were you, I’d have cut them off a long time ago. They do not deserve you.”Aurora’s nose soured as she listened, "Thank you, mum.”The people’s jaws dropped in shock as they heard the two women’s dialogue.What did Aurora call this noble lady?Mum?At this time, the editorial director ran over and introduced the woman to everyone with a smile.“This is Mrs Sullivan of the Sullivan Group."That made everyone even more confused.Mrs Sullivan of the Sullivan family, the mother of Lucien Sullivan.How could Aurora call her mother?And why did she berate Lucien’s girlfriend and seemed to be extremely d
*AURORA*I arrived late to work the following day.After the long night at the party and a sizzling night with Damon, I had almost canceled coming to work today but an important news needed to be broadcasted by me.And I really didn’t like anyone taking my spot.When I walked into the building, almost all the colleagues in the office hurried up to me.”“Aurora, you're Manuel Dumont’s girlfriend, why didn't you say so earlier?"“I watched the firework display that was set up in your honor. My God, if watching it online could look so beautiful, I wonder how seeing it in person would be. I haven’t seen those kind of fireworks before. It looked magical!”“Aurora, we’re your colleagues. Why didn’t you invite us to your birthday party? We would have been honored to attend.”This sudden compliment was not a surprise to me.Because this morning, the number one trending topic in every media outlet was my birthday party and the incredible fireworks.As they continued to compliment me, I took no
*DAMON*Aurora’s eyes rolled up to find me watching as I fucked her mouth.I lost it then.I couldn’t take one second more.“I’m gonna come.”I warned.Her eyes were half-closed, sultry, as she carried on sucking up and down the length of me.I reared back and she sunk down one last time, taking me deep inside her throat.With a roar of pleasure, I reached out and pinched her swollen nipples as the first spurts of my cum coated her tongue, while I shot the rest of my load, her sapphire eyes never left me.My thrusts into her slippery mouth slowed, then stilled as she swallowed it all, every last drop. I stared down at her, at how beautiful she looked with my cock buried in her face.I didn’t want this to end, even if she saw an end to this, someday, I didn’t.Aurora carried on sucking gently.God, what a woman.********AURORA*Damon pulled me up in one swift movement and whirled me around so my back was to the door.“You drive me crazy.”He groaned, his hands sliding over my skin.I le
*AURORA*As soon as Damon and I walked into his house that night, I felt his hand on my arm, he whirled me around, yanked me so I was slammed into his body and then he caught my lower lips between his.After the night I had, I really do need him.After we reluctantly disengaged from each other at the rooftop, we had been all over each other in the car.I just wanted his skin on me.He moved his mouth over mine, making me moan from a place deep down in my center, a place only he knew how to touch.His kiss was gentle until I melted against him.When he knew how lost I was, his hands slid around my waist. He pressed them into my back and pulled my body closer to his.I felt his hardness acutely through my dress. I winded my arms around his neck to hold on as he slowly drove me crazy and my knee went too weak to keep me standing.His tongue slid along the opening of my mouth before probing inside, exploring me as fireworks went off in my head.Damon groaned, his hands pressing harder, th
*AURORA*I knew Damon cared about me.And he was always there for me since we met.But I didn’t want to think he actually had feelings for me.I didn’t want to acknowledge it, the same way I refused to acknowledge if I felt anything more for him.If we ever felt anything more for each other, I felt it should not be discussed, it should be buried or discarded. We didn’t need feelings complicating what we had.Feelings would lead us wishing and hoping we would be together, forever. And when that doesn’t happen, it’d lead to a gut-wrenching heartbreak.And so, we both didn’t need feelings.What we had was nice. If we were to let go of each other someday, it should be when we both get tired of each other. That way, it won’t hurt to part ways.For now, I wasn’t tired of him.I pressed my body against his, placing my hand on his cheek and making him look at me.“Are we good, Damon?”He blinked, sighed and nodded.“We’re good.”With that, he bent his head and kissed me, deeply.I kissed him b
*AURORA*I couldn’t allow myself hope or claim these wishes coming from the crowd.But I couldn’t blame them either, after all, they thought I was in a proper relationship with Damon.Tonight, Alberto’s actions and Hannah’s indifference completely shattered my last illusion of affection.If the two people who had raised me since I was a baby could treat me like that, why should I expect anything genuine from other people?And so, I will continue sticking to my decision of not wanting or expecting anything more from anyone.A loud bang suddenly cut through the night sky.Beautiful firework bloomed in the darkness, like a rose in full summer, red with a love sign, and after the light shone in all directions, it was like a waterfall pouring down, rendering the whole sky as if it was on fire.Immediately after that, more red fireworks rose onto the air, competing to bloom, layers upon layers, gorgeous, and when they fell, they seemed to be a string of shining red lanterns, swaying in the
Neither Alberto nor the rest of the family wanted to tell Lucien where Aurora was.They were all mad at him except Isobel.Isobel slowly wiped her cheeks as she figured out what could be going on with Lucien.Did he suddenly want to fight for Aurora now?If that was the case, it would be to her own advantage.She never really liked Carla, she had just wanted to use her to torment Aurora.And now, she needed Lucien to get Aurora back because if Lucien and Aurora gets back together, she would be able to have Manuel Dumont to herself.She then said to Lucien, "Aurora is on the 20th floor. Mr Dumont booked that floor for her to celebrate her birthday. Don’t you think it’s high time you respect Aurora and your marriage? She’s your wife, yet you allowed her to keep jumping from one man to another. Doesn’t that bother you?”A few days ago, Isobel had seen her at a restaurant with another man.She had taken a picture and sent it to Lucien. She had wanted to make Lucien angry so he would berat
Lucien’s eyes were glued to the name signed "Aurora Diaz".Aurora’s font was very distinctive, because she had learnt from a famous teacher since she was a child, and she learnt running script when she practiced her writing.It led to the fact that later on, her handwriting combined the dignity of regular Script and the fluency of running Script, with a sense of squareness and roundness, her handwriting was refined, forming her own personal style, which was very recognizable to anyone who knew her.Anyone who knew her, personally knew she had a very unique handwriting.Lucien, of course, grew up with her.Aurora’s handwriting was instantly recognizable to him.And right now this signature was indeed a signature that perfectly matches Aurora’s.He stared at the signature for a while.The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was odd.He suddenly wondered what kind of pen was used?He already knew this document was fake but he was finding it hard to believe that Carla had imi
