AURORA“Careful with that,” I said to the attendant helping me load some new furniture in the house.I need a change of scenery. This past few months has been one problem to another. Ranging from Diego and now Jacob, who doesn't seem to be far away from me.“Is this really necessary, Aurora?” Carina asked, grumbling. She was working in her office but then the furniture arrived and she had to leave.“We were bugged, remember,” I said, glaring at her.“Martin said we are bug free. They swept through the house. Right Martin?” She said, looking at Martin to back her up but he didn't say a word.“Well, looks like Martin knows better,” I said and she gave out a loud groan.“Ma'am everything has been set, the way the previous one was,” the attendant said to me and I nodded.“You can go…” she didn't even allow me to complete my sentence, Carina stormed into the house.I rolled my eyes at her tactics, “see them out. Will you Martin?” I walked back into the house to complete my knitting.I deci

AURORAIt’s been a few days since the day at the courthouse and the trial between Jacob and his uncle has begun. I made an exception to excuse myself because I didn't want to be in the crossfire.Everywhere I go, Reporters, tries to get comments from me concerning the trials and it’s getting tiring and frustrating all together. Carina hasn’t been to the office lately because she is trying her best to avoid Andre.“Aurora,” speaking about the son of bitch.“Miss Clinton,” I said to him. He stopped on his track and turned around.“What?” he asked, surprised at my reaction.I walked towards him, looking at him in the eye, “you seem to be heading to a date,” he said, trying to make jokes with me.“I was,” i said to him, “but then i placed a call to Carina, telling her I’m on my way and she broke down in tears,” i said and watched him go uncomfortable.“I didn't mean to hurt her,” he said, walking away and I scoffed.“But you did hurt her,” I said and he stopped walking. “She has never ope

JACOBWe all sat by the cage, wondering about the question Aurora placed before us. I honestly don't know what my own Mother will gain by going against me.I mean she is my mother, she should be protecting me not giving ammos to my enemies.“What if she isn't doing this on her own?” Aurora asked me. She being here has made things easy for me, I know it's hard for her being here and also being made to testify but being here has brought some ease to my soul.All I want to do is hold her and keep holding her, unfortunately I can't.“I can't think of any reason why Evans will have to blackmail her,” I said to her.“You might not know doesn't mean there isn't,” she said, “or you are just going to believe she has it out for you?” She asked me.I took a sip from the hot coffee the waiter just brought to our table. I spat it out immediately, “that was disgusting,” I said and watched her lips turn into a smile.“You shouldn't have taken it, the coffee around here sucks,” she said.“But there s

AURORAI looked at Amy trying to bargain with me at the expense of her brother’s life. What kind of family is this? How did I get tangled with them in the first place?“You can seriously be bargaining with your brother’s company and maybe his life,” I said to her, she squeezed her eyes shut.“I’m only doing what I think is best for me. No one cares about me, no one,” tears ran down her cheeks.“Why do you think that is Amy?” I asked her, not shaken by her tears. Amy always joined her Mother in taunting me and bringing me down and now she wants to work for me. How ironic.“I know I treated you poorly when you were married to Jacob. I wasn’t…”“Wasn’t what?” I asked her, “wasn’t bold enough to stand up to your own mother?” I asked her.“You don’t know what that’s like, having to fight tooth and nail for your mother’s love or affection,” her mouth set a hard line.I sighed deeply, “you are right, I don’t know what’s like,” I said, “guess you haven’t changed after all,” I turned around.“

AURORA“What the hell, Andre?” I yelled at him with the gun pointed at my face.“What are you doing following me?” He asked, “you could have been followed as well,” he said looking worried.“I will answer all your questions when you put the gown down,” I said to him and he sighed.He laid the gun down and directed me into the lake house, “it's nice,” I said, trying to create a conversation.Here I am with my employee and a gun in his hands.“I'm sorry about the gun,” he said, placing it on a table.“What is it for?” I asked him.He sighed and looked at me, “for a lot of things, which includes keeping intruders away,” he said to me and I scoffed.“Why do you have to keep intruders away?” I asked him.“You shouldn't have followed me, Aurora,” he said, running his fingers through his hair.“I made sure I wasn't followed,” I said to him.“Or really, you suddenly have tactical evading skills?” He asked and I looked at him confused.“I don't understand what you just said but that doesn't me
