Chapter 41
"Here,"She muttered a 'thank-you' walking past the open door and into the small room. It was dark inside so she kept still until the sound of a switch was being flicked, light flooded the room instantly and her eyes roamed over the area.It was exactly the way she'd left it the last time, the magazine's were still on the coffee table and her favourite couch was still at the former position. Even the TV was on, but it was only showing a static black and white image. Aurora didn't know what she'd been expecting, it wasn't like he was earning that much. Besides she found the place comfortable and warm, a feeling she'd never been accustomed to even in her grand and majestic mansion.She settled into the couch with a shaky sigh, enjoying the way the foam sunk in response to her weight, "How did you find me there?"Ryan was busy taking off his jacket, which he threw unceremoniously on the messy bed. She gave him a look and he rolled his eyes before picking it up and hanging on the rack beh

The next morning, she woke up with a groan, her eyes snapped open and for a moment she was confused. When the memories of the previous night hit her, a lazy smile crawled up her lips. She moaned softly, trying to stand but it was futile.Ryan's large arms were around her frame and she was tightly snuggled into his warm chest. Aurora would be a liar if she said she didn't enjoy the way their bodies were perfectly molded together. She suddenly wished she could stay there even if it was for this morning but knew that it couldn't be possible.She had to get back home before her parents issued an amber alert.So, she sneakily wiggled away from his hold all the while trying not to wake him. When her legs hit the floor, she let out a relieved breath, turning to face him. He'd taken to snuggling the pillow instead, the sound of his quiet snores bringing another smile to her lips."Good morning, handsome," She whispered, leaning forward to press a kiss on his forehead.Aurora moved quickly, sl

Chapter 43
Aurora moved with intensity and strength, she channeled all of the aggression, passion and frustration that she was feeling as she danced. In the background, she could hear Mason and Natasha tittering to each other. She blocked them out, her feet moving against the floor with grace.She pictured her mother and then Evan and finally Ryan. The myriad of emotions she felt threatened to burst out of her chest and just as she was about to pirouette, Mason swore so loudly it caused her eyes to snap open.The music kept playing and she turned to reprimand him but the words died on her lips when she saw who'd walked in.Louisa Roberts smiled warily, waving a hand in the air, "Hi."Mason was already on his feet, charging towards her, "And what the fuck do you want? Didn't you see the sign outside? This place is occupied, so go." "Actually, I didn't come here to practice," She said gently, "I wanted to speak with you Aurora." Natasha scoffed from where she sat, muttering something in Spanish.

Aurora gingerly shut the door, making sure not to make a sound. She tiptoed into the room, grateful for the lights that was switched on. At least, she wasn't going to bump into anything this time, Aurora mused ruefully.She knew where she had to go this time. When she reached the cabinet, she pulled the top drawer and sighed in relief when it opened without stress.Asides from a few knick knacks, there was nothing there but she caught a small silver box. When she pulled it out, she realized with excitement that it was a laptop. His personal laptop.Aurora snapped it open and pressed the power button, it made a small chiming sound and her eyes flickered warily to the door. The screen showed that it was still rebooting and when it finally cleared, she was shocked to see that it wasn't password protected."Wow, Evan, for an evil mastermind, you sure know how to give easy access," She swallowed and went straight to his files and then clicked on images.There were a lot and she scrolled t

Aurora clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth, moving up and downwards in accordance to the teacher's instructions. Professor Elena Monroe gave them each approving glances. "Return to fifth position," She commanded and they simultaneously responded, the sound of their feet moving against the wooden floorboard echoing.She walked past each bars, appraising each of their legs. When she got to Aurora, she paused, humming softly.Aurora eyed her from the corner of her eyes, she expected her to say something but the older woman simply cleared her throat before walking towards the front of the class."Aurora Rochester. Louisa Roberts will you two come up front, please."Aurora frowned. What did she want again? With a begrudging sigh, she released her fingers from around the bar and walked towards the center. Louisa came to a stop a few feet away from her,"I want you two to do a complete round, from first position to the last."Aurora snapped her head backwards, scowling at Elena

"Oh my god, girl! You look hot!"Aurora grinned bashfully, swirling left and right. The mini black dress she'd bought fit her like second skin, it was a sharp contrast to her pale skin but it looked perfect nonetheless. It was sleeveless with flowers embroidered at the hem of the gown, silver rhinestones decorated the rest of the bodice creating a sparkling glow.She'd paired it with midnight blue floral heels that was strapped at the back of her legs and for her jewelry she'd chosen; a diamond teardrop earrings, a black choker necklace and silver bracelets. The entire look was finished with a smoky makeup that made her look like a vixen and her hair was styled into a sleek high ponytail."I can't believe you matched with me though," Natasha grumbled, swishing the skirts of her ballroom gown.Aurora huffed a small laugh, linking their arms together, "I guess that means we both have excellent taste."Although she pouted in a cute manner, Natasha shrugged, "That's why we're besties."Sh

A small pained wince escaped her parted lips and she quickly withdrew her fingers from the spot. There was red blooming on her neck already, the jerk had almost crushed her windpipe.Aurora sighed, picking up the wipe and sliding it across her face, it was still nighttime and Mason has been the one to drive her back home. Although, he kept questioning her as to why she wanted to leave early, luckily for her it was almost time to her curfew so she used that as an excuse.Now that she was inside her room, her eyes glued on the tender area on her skin, Aurora felt like crying again. Evan was maniacal and he had to be stopped, whatever he was planning.The slight rapping sound on her door caused her to flinch and she turned towards it, her heart pounding erratically.Aurora wasn't always used to locking her doors but ever since her stepbrother's display, she wasn't going to take the chance again."Miss Aurora?" A familiar voice called from behind although it sounded muffled, "It's me, Ros

"Miss, we've arrived."Her eyes flickered to meet his gaze that were peering at her through the rearview mirror. Aurora looked towards the mirror and sure enough, they were parked right out the front of the steps leading to her house.Aurora puffed out a deep breath and muttered a 'thank-you' before grabbing the door handle and pushing it open. She stepped out, one leg after the other and gently swung the door shut. She tucked her phone into her purse before rushing up the stairs, her heels making a clicking sound with each step she took.She'd been avoiding staying at home ever since Evan got back and so far, she'd succeeded in returning either mid-dinner or when everyone was asleep. Whenever her father asked, she would blame it on the upcoming arts convention. He believed her each time.But today, she seemed to have run out of luck because lounging on one of the couches in the living room was..."Mom?" She sputtered in surprise, blinking in disbelief.Miriam Rochester swiveled to fa

Aurora gave her phone screen a final glance before nodding to herself. She swiped the pack from the shelf and strolled to the counter where a lanky guy wearing glasses twice his size stood, immersed in the video he was watching."Hi, um can you help me with this?" They guy's head snapped upwards, the scowl on his face morphing into shock and then surprise.He made a slight squeaking sound, "Y-You, you're that ballerina girl!"Aurora cocked her head to the side, unimpressed with his gawking. She pushed the packet towards his end, "Can you tell me what this drug is for?" He was still open-mouthed, eyes wide open and his face flushed. Aurora gave him a narrowed-eyed look and he blinked rapidly, shutting his mouth,"I-I'm sorry, let me get a look at that," He swiped the packet from the counter, swinging it back and forth, "Oh, it's a common anti-depressant. Why do you need this?"This made Aurora confused and intrigued so she leaned forward, "Anti-depressant?"The pharmacist bobbed his h

"Wow! This is really good!"Aurora munched on the delicious pasta, relishing in the way the savory meal melted on her taste buds. The moment she had one bite, she knew she was gone. Ryan had an amused expression as he stared at her,"Slow down or you'll choke," He warned with a teasing tone.Aurora simply shook her head, in fairness she couldn't remember the last time she'd eaten pasta. Her mother abhorred the dishes, ranting about how much carb it contained and how it was harmful to her health. So pasta was a no-go for her family, until now."I can't," She mumbled mid-bite, "It's too good."Ryan huffed a laugh, "Well, if you want more there's still some left in the pot." She nodded absentmindedly, too invested in slurping the contents of her plate. She didn't realise how much good of a cook he was, Aurora had expected him to be like the typical guy he portrayed.The kind that lived on takeouts and Chinese food. Ryan Thorne was definitely hiding a lot more underneath those good looks
