Chapter 10: The Day

AURORA

Tomorrow my fate would be decided. I sat in the corner of my cell, trying to figure everything out. If those pictures meant Bryan was alive, how long was he going to hide? I was sure it was him in that picture, but the court didn’t validate it. The Wolfe family claimed they were responsible for the transactions , that wasn’t what shocked me.

“I am his next of kin.”

This was what blew me away.

When Bryan’s mother said those words, I was stunned. Bryan and I had argued about it a few months before his supposed death. I wasn’t happy that his mother was his next of kin for his bank and finances instead of his son. But according to him, “I was worrying about the little things.”

It turned out his mother was the one initiating those transactions. Bottom line: we didn’t have enough evidence that he was alive, but there was also no evidence that I killed him.

I closed my eyes, willing my mind and body to rest. My heart was racing. Tomorrow had to go as planned, Damo

    BRYANAmara wouldn’t stop pacing and it was pissing me the fuck off but I ignored her and still , Amara being who she was , I knew what was going on and why she was acting so restless. “ Can you just sit down ?” I scoffed but she didn’t stop pacing. Back and forth. Back and forth.Like the room was too small to contain her.“You’re really going without me? Bryan what the fuck ?” she snapped.I sat on the edge of the bed, adjusting my cufflinks slowly, like I hadn’t heard her. The truth was, I heard every word. I just didn’t want to answer yet.“Bryan,” she said sharply. “Look at me when I’m talking to you! Stop ignoring me !” She screamed this time . I lifted my head. “I heard you and can you keep it down ?”“Then answer me, Am I coming with you to Rora’a event?”“No…you are not coming!” She let out a dry laugh and then she scoffed.. “No?” she repeated. “After everything I did for you? You want to throw me under the bus! You snake!” I stood up. “Lower your voice and stop overreac

    AURORAFriday came faster than I expected.To be honest I didn't want it to come at all and it was because of the uneasy feeling I was getting.I was still crashing at my mom's place. Staying over at Damon’s place wasn't feeling like a great idea anymore, rumors could spread and it felt like old feelings were resurfacing.“ You could just get a new apartment, I don't like the idea of staying with him “ “Mom…you chased me out, Damon and I wouldn't be staying together if you'd just let me stay “ “ I was doing it to expose you to the outside world, you got too comfortable “ “Anyways, I paid off the debt” I smiled at her and she rushed to where I was,her face beaming with both excitement and shock.“How…I mean it's a lot of money ““ The company is making a lot “ I grabbed my key chain trying my best to keep a straight face but my mom's excitement gave me butterflies,I could see that she was so proud of me.As I turned to leave for the event hall,she wrapped me in her arms “ I am so pr

    Chapter 50: BRYAN. The room was quiet except for the sound of the phone. Bryan sat on the edge of the bed with the device in his hand, his eyes fixed on the screen as Aurora’s voice filled the air. “This is Aurora… I know it’s you… Stop hiding. Come and face me like a man. I am not scared of you anymore.” Bryan let out a slow breath and locked the phone. “ I see my wifey has grown these past months “ Across the room, Amara stood with her arms crossed. Her face was tight with anger. “You enjoy this, don’t you?” she snapped. “Listening to her voice. Moving in circles.” Bryan didn’t reply. She stepped closer. “How long are you going to keep doing this, Bryan? You already got what you wanted. Everyone believes you’re dead. The company is rising again. Damon is always with her. What exactly are you waiting for?” Finally, he looked up at her. “You wouldn’t understand,” he said. Amara scoffed. “Don’t make me laugh. I helped you fake your death. I testified against her. I destr

    CHAPTER: STOP HIDINGAURORA “ Are you scared ?” He asked and I smiled . “ Should I be ?” Damon shaked his head and said . “ Guess who is in your corner ?” “ You ! “ “ Perfect …Relax , I can’t let anything happen to my client “ “ Your client huh ?” When we got to my house, he didn’t move immediately to leave. He just sat there for a moment, his hands still on the steering wheel.“Aurora,” he called softly.I turned to him. “Yes?”“ You should relax …Bryan is a coward and that’s why he is still hiding “ “ I am not bothered at all “ I lied.He didn’t argue. Instead, he leaned forward and pulled me into a hug. It was slow and gentle, not rushed. I stiffened at first, then slowly relaxed in his arms.“Breathe,” he whispered. “You’re safe for now.”For now.That part stayed stuck in my head.“ What do you mean , ‘ For now ‘ “ I scoffed and he pulled out from the hug and held my shoulder. “ Slip of the tongue …You are safe my dear client “ He teased and I just rolled my eyes . “I’

    CHAPTER: HE IS WATCHINGAURORA . Damon insisted on being the one to take Jake back to the Wolfe house.“I’ll drive him,” he said calmly, already holding the car keys. “It’s better that way.”Jake’s face dropped immediately, I smiled at him but he just looked cold . “ Uncle Damon will take you …” “No,” he said fast, shaking his head. “I want Mommy to come.”My heart squeezed. I bent down in front of him. “Jake, baby—”“I don’t want to go with only Uncle Damon,” he cut in. “I want you to come too “ Damon looked at me and shrugged “ You should come , it’s going to be really quick”. I still felt uneasy about the message I had received earlier, but I forced myself to smile at Jake, I was going to look into it when I am alone in my room but right now ? I had to fix my face . “Okay,” I said. “I’ll come baby “ Jake’s face lit up with relief and he rushed to grab my hand. We all got into the car. Damon drove. Jake sat at the back. I sat in front beside Damon. The moment I sat down, I

    AURORA . I was still trying to breathe normally when Damon pulled me halfway up the stairs. My heart was racing from the fight outside, but I was pretending to be calm. My mother was still exchanging words with Gracie outside , Damon was whispering that I should go to my room and rest. I nodded and turned toward the hallway.That was when I heard Gracie’s voice again.“You deserve everything that happened to you ,” she called, sounding angry and bitter. “That is why your husband died. He couldn’t handle you. You and your daughter’s stupidity destroyed him.”I stopped walking, She was talking to my mother ?How dare her bring my dead father into this fight? The same man her whole family including herself and her son worshipped until he was no more . “ Don’t let her get to you “ Damon said but it was too late . My body froze first. Then my hands. Then my chest. It felt like something cracked inside me. I turned slowly, because if I turned too fast, I wasn’t sure what I would do.“ Aur
