Aurora sat down just staring into space and thinking about her Father. She still couldn't believe he is gone and never to be seen. Memories came crashing down on her and she didn't notice she was already crying.
The door opened and she didn't bother looking up. People have been coming to their house since the day her father died. Most of them she doesn't know.
She still sat there staring until she felt someone wrap her in a hug. She looked at up and was staring into Charlotte's eyes.
"Charlotte?", She called.
"I'm here, Sis."
"He is gone, Char. He left.", she said again and the tears won't stop falling.
Charlotte was trying her best not to cry but she didn't succeed. She pulled Aurora closer and buried her face in the crook of Aurora's neck, sobbing silently.
Aurora just couldn't believe it. Her father is dead. When she woke up from fainting in the
To tell the truth, I regret taking a second wife.'Those were the words that woke Aurora from her sleep. But how come he regrets it? Does he know she was poisoning him? But if he knew why didn't he take any action? Those were the thoughts that came crossing her mind.She shook the thoughts out and dressed up to continue her drive. She didn't want to go by plane because Bianca might find out where she is headed so she settled for the road trip.She got to the bathroom and dressed up in haste. Minutes later she went out of the hotel and continued her journey.¶*¶*¶After countless hours of driving, she finally got to the house. Her father got the house when she was 18 and had her name on the papers. It was a gift to her. The house was a beautiful and big one with 4 rooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen and it also has a swimming pool.She remembered the day her Dad
"We would go home soon. The people for the next shift will take over", Jasper told her.All through the day, Jasper made her talk about herself and she now knows about him too. He is very funny and the way she laughed today, she haven't laughed that hard in a long time."Okay", she replied and took her purse but it fell from her hand revealing the contents."Is that a platinum credit card?", Jasper asked picking up the card."Yes.""Woah! How many of this do you have?"She shrugged. "Like five.""Five?""Yeah.""How much is in each?"She shrugged again. "I don't know.""With this type of card, I will shop till my house is full", he said and handed over the card to her. "We should probably go for shopping some day.""Maybe", she replied."Oh fuck! You are my ty
"He sliced her wrist?", Marco asked after Zuerien narrated all that happened at the supermarket."Yes and I feel bad. It's my fault.""It's not your fault. She was just trying to help you.""And that's what makes it my fault. So she was angry at me.""What made you think she was angry at you?", Marco asked him."I saw it in her eyes. I offered to take her to the doctor but she snapped at me and she didn't even tell me her name.""Oh. Maybe she angry she got injured while helping you.""She is a really good fighter. She really beat the man up.""That's impressive. Did you get me the book?""No.""What did you go and buy in the supermarket in the first place?""To be candid, I didn't have any specific thing to buy. I just wanted to go maybe I would see her.""And you did?"
"Let's get you something to wear", Jazz said as he checked her closet but was disappointed when he saw nothing suitable to wear to a club. "What is all these?""Clothes?""No. Trash.""Excuse me. Those are the kind of clothes I like.""Shoot me", he said and shot himself dramatically before falling on her bed. "Do you have money with you?""What do you need money for?""Just give me", he said stretching his hand out.She sighed and pulled some notes from her bag. "Take", she said and gave it to him."Thanks, Barbie", he said and kissed her cheeks before running out of the house.She picked her phone again and called Charlotte."Aurora!", Charlotte shouted as soon as she picked the call. "I'm sorry! I miss you!"Aurora chuckled. "I miss you too.""I'm sorry for arguing with you
"Dad?", Aurora called as she looked around the garden. "Dad?", She called again but got no response. She sat down and buried her face in her hands and begin to cry. "Where are you, Dad? I miss you. Why did you leave?", She questioned still crying."I didn't leave", she heard a voice say as she raised her head. She saw her Dad making his way towards her. She stood up and ran closer to hug but she couldn't. She went right through him."Dad, what's happening? Why can't I touch you?""Because I'm not real.""You left, Dad", she said again as she cried."I didn't leave. I'm always with you.""I want you to come back, Dad. I'm not strong without you by my side. I can't be that strong woman you want.""Of course you can be, Princess. You will always remain a strong woman just like your Mum. It's not possible to come back, Aurora. I wish it was but it isn't. Just know that
Jasper paced around the hospital lobby. He already called Megan and she should be here soon. After Aurora passed out, he brought her straight to the hospital because he didn't know what else to do and he called Megan immediately."What happened? Where is she?", Megan asked Jasper as she was panting for air."The doctor is still attending to her.""What happened?""I don't know. She just passed out while holding her head.""Oh Jesus!", She said as she faced the ceiling. "Let her be okay.""She would be", Jazz said reassuring himself and Megan.The door opened and the doctor came outside."What's the matter with her?", Megan asked immediately."She needs rest that's all. And healthy food too. She's been doing a lot of thinking and it's affecting her a lot. Whatever it is she is thinking, it's been affecting her psychologically."
"What?!", Charlotte and Jasper shouted."I seriously didn't know what I was doing", Aurora said."Of course you know what you are doing", Jasper said."So, Zuerien really asked you to go to dinner with him?", Charlotte asked again."Yes. And stop making it seem like a big deal.""It is a big deal!", Charlotte said while grinning from ear to ear."Oh My God!", Jasper shouted. "She needs something to wear.""Yeah!", Charlotte replied. "A dress...and....Makeup!""Yes. Makeup. And she needs to do something with her hair.""I'm not trimming my hair", Aurora said but they weren't listening to her."We need to go shopping", Jasper said."Yeah. We also need to go to the salon", Charlotte added."Hello!", Aurora shouted finally gaining their attention."What?", The asked at
"Hey, you're back", Charlotte said with excitement as Aurora stepped into the house."Yeah", Aurora mumbled back."What's wrong?", Charlotte asked noticing something was up."Nothing. I'm fine.""You don't look fine. What happened? Did he hurt you?", Charlotte said examining her body for any sigh that someone hurt her. "If he did, I'm gonna rip-""I said I'm fine, Char", Aurora said loudly this time. "I'll just go to bed."Charlotte looked at her not ready to give up."I'm okay. I just need to rest. I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight", she said and turned."Okay. I'll join you in bed soon. Let me finish this movie", Charlotte said."Okay", Aurora said and went to the room. As she closed the door, her eyes became blurry.This is exactly what she is avoiding. He can't just like her. He just can't.
