Safe, Steady But…Distant

Chapter ElevenFor several long minutes, silence stretched between them. Overhead, through invincible speakers, soft classical music filled the room, creating a very cozy ambience.Caspian let out a soft scoff, his eyes assessing Aurora’s face, “You’re walking away clean,” he said, “Is that fair to you, Aurora?”“I’m walking away free,” Aurora uttered, leaning back on her chair and taking a sip from her coffee. She gave him a quiet smile, “I can do that, can’t I?”Caspian leaned back as well, crossing his arms as he studied Aurora more intently, as if seeing the full picture now.He could not understand why Aurora would be walking away empty handed from the Langford Empire after everything she’d done for them for the past six years. After everything they’d done to her!The muscles in his jaw ticked violently as he thought back to the way she’d given up everything six years ago, and married a man who now paraded another woman on his arms like a trophy. All the while neglecting her, t

“You Will Pay Dearly For This!”

Chapter TwelveThroughout the ride home, Ethan had a dark and gloomy expression on his face. Celeste tried all she could to get him out of his mood but it was to no avail.She could only sit back, biting her lower lip in anger. However, she did not let on with her expressions.It would ruin her sweet, understanding nature which Ethan and Riley had always known. “Relax Celeste,” she muttered to herself, “You already have the man and his kid wrapped around your little finger. There was no need acting like a jealous shrew now.”But the fact that Ethan could still be moved, even in the slightest manner by Aurora was enough to make her grate her teeth in anger.“Celeste, drop by the house today. I think Riley would want to hang out with you some more,” Ethan said suddenly. He turned to look at Riley, “Wouldn’t you like that, sweetie?”Rileg gasped in delight, “Yes Daddy!”Celeste stared at him in pleasant surprise but before she could say anything, Riley let out a huge sigh.“But Daddy,

It’s Okay to Play “Mother.”

Chapter ThirteenWhen Aurora came back to the Langford mansion that evening, she met Lucille at the door with a worried expression.“Madam, you’re back.” She said, stepping closer to take Aurora’s coat, with her brows furrowed in worry, “Why are you so late?”“I had an appointment.” Aurora uttered simply, her eyes searching the elderly woman’s worried face, then looking behind her into the sitting room, “What’s the matter? Where’s Riley?”Even though she felt the child and her had been growing a bit distant the past few days, Aurora could still not help that pang of worry that comes from motherly love.Lucille waved the question away,,“The young miss is fine. It’s just that…” she trailed away just as Aurora stopped dead in the middle of the sitting room.She looked around her.The flowery perfume and the woman’s handbag on the matching sofa gave clear hints that there was a guest in the house but at that moment, Riley came clambering down the stairs. She held on to Celeste’s hand and

Yes. Trash Them!

Chapter Fourteen.Celeste’s smile slowly drained from her face.She scoffed in disbelief as she tried not to snarl, “W…what?” She asked in a voice shaking from anger, “What did you just say to me?”Aurora arched an eyebrow at her, her devious smile still on her lips, “Why, I was just thanking you, Miss Moore.”It was all Celeste could do not to explore. She wished she could launch herself at Aurora and scratch her face but that would shatter her image as a sweet, understanding and composed lady.She lowered her sudden tear filled eyes and turned to Ethan, “Ethan…”Ethan whirled on Aurora once more, his eye flashing with anger, “Aurora, do you have to be so unpleasant?!”“Unpleasant, really?” Aurora crossed her arms on her bosom as she stared at both of them in puzzlement, “I was just appreciating her for a job well done, and you tell me I’m unpleasant? Isn’t that what you wanted me to do in the first place?”Anyone with half a brain would know that there was heavy sarcasm in her appre

Wasn’t She A Sore Loser?!

Chapter FifteenThere was shocked silence as Aurora said those words. She calmly stepped out of the way for the maids to go through.They bowed and quickly made their way out, either to get out of the fray that was happening.The rest of them stared at her in surprise. Even Riley knew that something must be wrong somewhere.All along, she’d been hearing stories of how her mother was a meanie and did not like her Aunt Celeste.Her mom had been the one who caused Aunt Celeste to leave the city and suffer overseas without any friends and family close by.Riley had never had a moment when Aurora was mean to her but Celeste was so sweet and beautiful. There was no way she’d be lying, right?Even her dad had attested to the stories which Celeste had told her, and her Dad never lied to her.The child had quickly decided that they were probably right.But now, mom was not being a meanie.She had actually agreed to Aunt Celeste’s request and allowed her dresses and toys to be trashed. A pang

Who is Taking Care Of Me?

Chapter Sixteen“Celeste!” Ethan cried out in alarm as he rushed to pick her up from the floor.In return, Celeste let out a sharp cry, “Ethan! I don’t think I can get up!” She said, tears spilling out of her eyes, “I think I sprained my ankle.”She was putting on ridiculously high heels and marble fooor was extremely slippery. It was common sense that she must have fallen back by accident when Aurora pulled back, but Ethan didn’t reason like that.He got up the next second, and gave Aurora a deafening slap, “Aurora! How could you be so vicious?!” He thundered at her, “Celeste was only trying to be nice. How could you take out your anger in her?! After everything you’ve done to her?! If you have a problem with somebody, face me! Not her! You hear me!”Aurora was silent, still reeling in shock from the fact that Ethan had actually hit her. The slap had whipped her head to the side and drew blood from her mouth, and tears from her eyes.Throughout their six years in marriage, Ethan had

Tearing off Her Mask!

Chapter Seventeen“Who’s going to take care of me for getting hurt?” Aurora uttered in a clear voice, while giving Ethan a deadly glare. She pointed to her face, “You hit me , remember?”Ethan grimaced, shifting uncomfortably under the harsh glare of Aurora’s criticism. Another wave of guilt hit him and he wondered if he was going mad.She continued glaring at him, “Who said you could touch me?”Celeste looked from one to the other, and her eyes darkened in anger. She immediately put on a fake smile and addressed Aurora, “Mrs Langford, I’m sorry about what happened but you can’t blame Ethan.” She uttered, lowering her eyes in self pity, “And besides, that slap did not even amount to what you did to me, right? Because you pushed me, I sprained my ankle.”“I never pushed you.” Aurora uttered coldly, “You fell back on your own, and brought this upon yourself.”That did it.Ethan immediately banged on the table making them all jump, except for Aurora, “That’s enough, Aurora!” He gritted

“I’ll Handle It”

Chapter EighteenThe room was quiet except for the soft hum of the medical equipment.Ethan sat back against the headboard, his sleeve already rolled up. He had an impatient little frown on his face as he scrolled through his IPad, busy with work.It was the 31st of the month, the day he received his second dose of Aurex-9. And while he was a person whose life revolved around work, he had the sense to know that he wouldn’t have a life to work with, if he does not show up for his bi-weekly injection.At that moment, the attending doctor walked towards him to check on his vitals.Dr Evans was an elderly man, a friend of Chairman Langford, the patriarch of the family. When Ethan had fallen ill six years ago, the Chairman could only trust his best friend with his precious grandson’s life.That was the same hospital Aurora had been working in as a caregiver. She’d met Ethan’s grandfather there and subsequently Ethan.Dr Evans was someone who was immensely involved in their lives as well as

You Are Not Allowed Here!

Chapter NineteenCeleste crossed her arms over her bosom and squared her shoulders as she continued speaking, unaware of the look of disgust she was receiving from Aurora and Dr Evans.Imagine walking into a proffessional setting and introducing yourself as someone’s first love?How dumb can one be?“I made my research before coming here,” she uttered, glancing over at Aurora with a sly smirk, “I’d have been on vacation now but I hurried back because of Ethan’s treatement. I was even more worried when I heard someone as clueless as Aurora is part of the process. Who knows what she’s been doing to him all along?!”Dr Evans was not impressed, “Mrs Langford had been assisting in this treatement for six years.” He uttered in a flat tone, “She knows Ethan’s response patterns better than anyone in this room. She doesn’t have to be a trained medical practitioner. I’ll handle that, don’t worry.”Celeste’s smile wavered, as she blinked in disbelief, “But still, that doesn’t mean that it’s righ

I’m Out Of Here!

Chapter TwentyCeleste’s head whipped to the side with the slap, and she stumbled hard, almost crashing to the floor.“Aurora!” Ethan yelled from his position on the bed. In one swift movement, he was out of bed and was by their side in an heart beat, “Are you out of your mind?! How dare you hit her?!”“How dare I hit her?! How dare you ask me such a question?!” Aurora fired back, making Ethan recoil in shock.This was the first time in…ever, that Aurora had raised her voice at him.He blinked in shock, looking at Dr Evans in confusion, then at Celeste who was still dazed from the slap.Aurora went on, jabbing her finger into Celeste’s shoulders fiercely, “Listen to me, you little bitch! Do you know how much trouble you almost caused me now?! Huh?!” She raged, while Celeste shrank back in fear, burrowing deeper into the curve of Ethan’s body.Aurora stepped closer to her even more menacingly as she went on,“The Aurex-9 serums comes to us every month! If we miss today’s dosage, then we
