Aurora POV:I promised myself not to cry on my way home, but tears stream down my cheek nonetheless. I felt so angry at myself, how could I be so weak. I couldn't believe I said all that hurtful words to him, it was unlike me to stoop so low and insult anyone with something so personal no matter how angry I was. No matter the situation, what I said to him was much, too much infact. I knew I was angry and lost control because of the amount plausible truths in his words. And setting myself for another rejection is a pain I'm never coming back from, it hurts almost twice as hard as the first. I realized beneath all the denial I still had traces of feelings left for him. How is the heart to forget someone already imprinted on it.My mind drifted to his claims about Mr. Jordan, his claims couldn't be all wrong, could they. I wonder which was possibly the truth and which were lies. It could all be the truth for all I knew, especially the part about his secretaries. But afterall it was none
Aurora POV:I was always eager to see the ever smiling face of my boss. But For the first time since the morning of the day I was hired, I was anxious about about facing him. All Mr. Angelo said were still running a course in my head. My heart skipped everytime I heard his voice from a distance or I thought the door to my office creaked open.The inevitable moment finally came upon me. He walked in with a face devoid of his ever gleaming smile; He look pissed. It made my anxiety even worse."Good morning, Mr. Jordan""Miss Hardy" he acknowledged "I never knew you were still in cahoots with your ex boss" He said sternly I was taken off guard."What? What do you mean?""On Saturday, I saw you and Michael at Iliac Café by the window side, you seem to be having a good time""No sir, it wasn't like that. It's far from what you think""I saw what I saw Aurora. I really like you and I enjoy having you work for me. But fraternizing with Michael his an huge disrespect to me. It might not be i
Michael POV:I was as sombre as the melancholic weather. I could see the sign of agitation on my workers face, probably worried about the hell that comes with my dark mood. They could already envision an hell of a day. It was quite the opposite, I didn't flinch over a mundane situation nor a critical one. I was quiet the whole day, I could imagine bewilderment on the faces of my worker at the end of the when I gave none a bad time, which was quite the contrast to my promise to Aurora. My telephone rang, I picked up at once."You have a call from Mr. Aiyelero" Libby said'That damn bastard' I muttered under breath, I've been trying to reach for quite a while. His secretary always gave the excuse he was out of town anytime I called his workplace and his personal number was always unreachable. It was one of the reason I always got fed up with divorce cases, it can't be finalize till both party signs it. Most often than not, one of them is always unwilling to sign, which was the case for
Aurora POV:I was putting the finishing touches on my make up when I heard the door bell rang for the second time today. "That's him" I said "Well go, don't leave him standing for too long""I'm yet to round off my make up" "You've done enough justice to your beauty, it's rude to stand a man up""Technically I'm not standing hin up" "Just go silly"I went to open the door and indeed it was him. I felt my throat dry up at the mere sight of him. He look majestic and hypnotically alluring just standing right there on the porch. Adorned in a three piece suit that most definitely costs a fortune - he oozed a strong aura of rich, strong, classy, dreamy, it didn't matter I knew he was all this already."You look incredible" He said "Those office attires are not doing enough justice to your beauty"I literally could feel my porcelain skin turn pink."Thank You, Mr. Jordan. I really love the clothes too, For a man, you made quite an excellent picks and had such good eyes for female clothes.
Michael POV:Nestled in the woodland, as humble as any rock face in these parts, was the mansion. It's windows were as shy eyes, large to welcome any ray of sun. The rock walls belonged right where it was, as if per chance it had grown up right from that hallowed ground. It was as if it had been called into existence to protect those who came to dwell within, to quell the elements and allow a heat to build from hearths into the inhaled woodland air. The gate was opended at once and was allowed to drive in. The mansion was all concrete and tall glass windows that gave a view of the mountains, a chance to relax and take in the changing of the seasons from the comfort of an easy chair. The mansion stood there as if the surrounding nature had embraced it, that the flora flowed within it as much as around it. For the architect had loved the trees so much that there was a mighty oak in the centre, centuries old, and the great house had been built around. The house born of an architect's pl
Michael POV:I finally found the twat having a chat with an old man I've never seen before, he seemed like a reputable figure with how classy he dressed. I walked up to him slowly, careful not to draw attention to myself. I tapped his shoulder gently, but he was having none of that. "Mr. Aiyelero" I called He finally turned around and stared at me irksomely like he would a dirty rat, it infuriated the hell out of me."You came" He said "Of course, I did. You weren't expecting me to show up""I thought entry was strictly by invitation, I didn't know know they allowed both dogs and sheep in.""Says the man that mauled his wife for 30 years, I think the animal amongst us knows better"He was thinking swiftly for a better clap back when someone called me out."Mr. Angelo" He called I turned to see Calhoun Ballenge walking towards me arms wide. "Calhoun Ballenge" I replied, trying to fill my words with enough enthusiasm."You came?" He asked "Well I'm here, aren't I" I chuckled "I
Aurora POV:The party was was just incredible, never have I seen that number of prominent figures all at once before. They all stood in clusters of four, five and six, having a chat.I expected to feel the bewildered and accusing eyes thrown my way as soon as we stepped, the former I could understand why, the latter I'm not so sure. But it seems like no one actually gave a damn about me, rather it was Mr. Jordan drawing all the attention. Despite wearing quite an alluring clothe, I felt so small and out of place. For every second longer I felt even smaller. I felt myself being viscerally pushed to an edge."Hey What's wrong Aurora?" He asked softly "Your face looks drain of blood, don't tell me you are getting cold feet" "Mr. Jordan - " "Leo" He replied assertively "Leo" I said akwardly "perhaps coming here was a bad idea""Why?" "I feel like everyone is staring at me like an elephant on a tree. What secretary becomes his boss date""Its all in your head, Aurora. If they all are,
Michael POV:I walked in front and turned around a few times to make sure he trailed behind me. "Where are we going" He demanded "Shut up and follow me" He looks exasperated by my reply but said nothing and followed me.I got to where I was sure there was no camera to my knowledge around Calhoun Ballenge house and stopped. I brought out the divorce papers and handed it to him to sign."Why come all the way out here to sign a divorce papers, are you retarded?" "You should have said that earlier so I could hand it to you infront of everyone you fucking coward.""What did you just call me""Just sign the goddam divorce papers Mr. Aiyelero" "Fucking peasants and not knowing their place"I knew he was trying to rile me up, so I simply laughed it off."Where is the pen" I brought out a pen from my breast pocket and handed it to him. After staring daggers at me for a moment he finally signed it. He threw it at me after he was done signing it, I carefully bent down and picked it up. It
