Aurora nodded and sipped her wine and fixed her attention to Louise.

“I met Jared during one of Eleanor’s cover photo shoots with us. We were on location in Paris where she was also shooting her then movie Night Glass wherein we all know she won an Academy for Best Actress last February.”

“Was Jared with her during the ceremony?” Aurora dared to ask not sure if she was going to like the answer.

Louise nodded disgustingly and added, “They were inseparable. They

  • Somebody to Love   Chapter Forty-Two

    Aurora heaved a heavy sigh once more, obviously trying her best to control her frustration. She did not know why she had to say those words. She did not know why she had to tell it to his face, but deep down she was exhausted, overwhelmed, hopeless that her marriage is nothing but a confusing state of affairs and all she wanted was clarity instead of confusion.“Alright,” she finally blurted. “I needed time away from you to rewire my brain and consciously remind myself that you do not want to be in this marriage. That you are here to ensure the company is in good hands for the future. That, it is the main purpose of this union. To provide myself some clarity. I’m sorry if occasionally I would want some time away from you. It is easier for me to do what I need to do.”She spoke it so gently, so softly there was not a hint of anger there. She looked at him straight in his eyes, and after those words, she gave him a brief smile. It was almost like she is resigning to her fate. He heard he

  • Somebody to Love   Chapter Forty-One

    Beaminster, England. It was nearly three in the afternoon when she arrived, a cross transit between Boston and London and a long drive from London to Beaminster where one of her estates was located. It was one of the six estates she inherited from her grandmother. This old rectory was built in the end of the 17hcentury, and belonged to the former Earl of Pembroke, subsequently one of their ancestors if one could be so vigilant in tracing roots of one’s lineage. She was not sure why she went here, but this was one of the oldest, most regarded and if privacy was priority, the estate tops the charts. It was secluded enough andMrs. Potts, her estates’ care-taker and her husband Fred were given advise by Penworth to ready the estate for her use for at least two weeks. She was not sure what she needed two weeks for, but two weeks it was. She was now in the kitchen, checking what Mrs Potts was preparing for supper. She already took a short nap immediately after she a

  • Somebody to Love   Chapter Forty

    Jared had Renata flown in from Boston to assist him with his presentation and she arrived two hours before the scheduled briefing. He was glad that his hands were not making him disable though they were still wrapped in bandages. He and Renata went ahead at the Cunard offices while Aurora followed an half an hour later. The members of the Board were beginning to fill up the room as Renata helped Cunard’s Executive Secretary Nellia with preparing Jared’s requirements. Jared was talking to some of the members of the Board when Aurora arrived wearing a sleeveless white blazer dress looking like she owned the place, and she did own it. Jared looked up and paused his thoughts as he stared at her walking, talking to some of her father’s employees, taking her time to shake their hands, asking how they are doing, all with a gentle smile on her face, and a humility that Jared observed she consistently exuded. That was it. Her character. She was humility personified, he realized and that’s wh

  • Somebody to Love   Chapter Thirty-Nine

    She was jogging her fourth cycle in the park when her smart watch started beeping indicating a call. She picked it up and found Louise on the line. She was asking her to drop by the latter’s apartment for a little chat about the other night’s gala which Louise wasn’t able to attend due to her stomach flu. Giving her a valid reason to avoid Jared’s distracting presence, and also check up on her, she accepted and decided to proceed there immediately after her routine exercise. She used to have frequent stay-overs at her friend’s place so she knew she can change and shower there. After her last round of jogging, she proceeded to Louise’ apartment which was only a few blocks away from the park.That was approximately two hours since she left their apartment and Jared started checking on the time and asked both Penworth and Sasha where she is at. “You said she went to the park for her routine run? Does that normally take two or more hours? How many rounds does she jog?” He was looking at S

  • Somebody to Love   Chapter Thirty Eight

    Aurora woke up earlier than usual the following morning. She was not able to sleep soundly, as her mind was constantly thinking about her husband, and their scam marriage. Really, she could not allow her mental health to be so affected by his sudden decision to not have a real marriage with her. She realized that it was her ego that was mostly injured and decided she would not let it affect her deeply. She can definitely control her reactions and her emotions, and it was up to her to make herself comfortable with the arrangement she is with now. Rising from her bed, she brushed her long hair and tied it in a clean pony tail, dressed in a green pullovers and white shorts. After brushing her teeth she went to the kitchen to prepare coffee and breakfast.

He was wearing his butler uniform and looked like he did not even sleep with how cle

    She was getting ready for the gala when she got a call from Louise that she can’t make it due to stomach flu. Aurora knew that her stomach flu was a severe case and is medically diagnosed as GERD which makes her friend uncomfortable for hours in a day. It was not like Louise to cancel the last minute without real reason so Aurora definitely understood that there was real cause for it. She told Louise it was definitely alright and that she can go by herself at the gala. It was not something she was expecting being alone in a gala wherein she was to make her very first speech on behalf of Cunard. But there really was no choice. She had to muster her courage and pray that she would be able to pull it off tonight. She looked at her self in the mirror, her make-up smooth and classic with her dark red lips highlighting her fair skin and gold hair. She knew how to do her own make-up and hair and was satisfied with her job seeing herself in the mirror. Now she needed to dress. Her gown was
