It would have been a backpack and Aurora Bennett wouldn't be standing outside of the university finance office. Laughter filled the hall as students excitedly talked about the new semester but not a single laugh could be heard. But her shaking hands never took their eyes off the notice.**Outstanding Tuition Balance.**She will have 72 hours to pay the tuition remaining to be paid, if she does not, the enrollment will be cancelled."Miss Bennett?"The voice of the finance officer shouted out to her.The woman was extremely apologetic, "I am so sorry. There is a doubling of the date of payment for this semester and in case of failure to pay the balance within the next 3 days, students shall be automatically dropped out of classes.Aurora was able to make a smile but it did not make it to her eyes."I understand."It didn't take long for her to see tears in her eyes before she walked off.They talked about parties on the weekend, designer clothes, and over-priced holidays, while going a

Aurora Bennett was standing in the Scholarship and Financial Aid Office, holding a folder in her hands. Her transcripts, letters of recommendation, certificates and more were all there, and they made it clear that she deserved a second chance.She took a big breath and then knocked."Come in."Facing the computer, a middle aged woman beamed with a smile.It couldn't be anyone other than Aurora Bennett."Yes, ma'am."Please sit down.Aurora sat down with her fingers nervously gripping her lap.The woman started, "I have checked through your files.The woman started, “I have gone through your files.” Your grades are one of the highest in your year – you've been one of the most successful architecture students!There was a glimmer of hope in Aurora's eyes."Really?"The woman nodded.“That's a great grade point average, especially given your work schedule.Aurora leaned forward.Then… Have you got any scholarship on emergency?”A smile slowly faded from the woman's face."I'm sorry."Auro

When Aurora woke up it was 6 in the morning.She put it out of its misery quickly, so that it would not disturb her mother.For some seconds she lay in bed, looking at the broken ceiling above her.The second day of University's final payment period.There were only 48 hours until a day of reckoning.A mere 48 hours before she had lost all that she had spent her life working for.She got to her feet, took her time and picked up a little metal box from under her bed.

Aurora was frozen to the spot on the side of her bed.The morning sun was flooding her desk, shining on the contract which Damien had given her. Next to her was the pen she had taken out before going to sleep.She had gone over her dream over and over again in her mind.Don't sign it.Her chest still hurt from the voice of the mysterious man.She grabbed hold of the contract.Then hurriedly withdrawn her hand.What do I need to do? She was interrupted from her thoughts by a knock."Aurora?" There was a knock on the door and Grace called out from the kitchen.
