By noon exactly, Ernest had information about a girl whose name was Sudan, despite them looking alike.
"I knew it. She is lying to him. I bet she is trying to dig for information or using him as a means to gain money." Kristoff said as he looked through the folder.
"Will that be all?" Ernest asked.
Kristoff threw the envelope of cash on the table. Ernest picked it up, searched through it, then tipped his hat towards Kristoff and left.
"What do you want from Chance, Aurora?"
Kristoff looked through the other papers, finding where she lived and attended school.
"Might as well pay you a little visit."
It didn't take long for Kristoff to find the campus, where he sat in his car watching students sitting on the lawn either studying, gossiping or eating.
"Now where are you Aurora?"
Just as he said her name, she walked out of the main building, holding a few books and talking to a boy that seemed more her age.

"So, when is this party? I can't wait for everyone to meet you. This is so excited." Aurora wrapped her arms around herself."The end of the month.""What? When you said party, I thought you meant tonight or tomorrow, not three weeks from now. And three weeks is much too long of a time to not see your man.""I know, but-""There is no but in this. You better call Kristoff right now. Oh, you are such an idiot. If you love someone, you shouldn't let them slip through your fingers like that."Chance opened his mouth but Aurora cut him off, not giving him a chance to speak."They always say if you love someone, let them go, if they come back to you then it was meant to be.""Or it meant nobody wanted them." Chance said.Aurora slid down on the park bench. “You are hopeless.""Not entirely.""Yeah, but what if, by the time of the party, Kristoff moves on?""He won't.""Why are you so confident?"

Kristoff didn't bother going home after his plan to win Chance didn’t go as he envisioned it, instead he drove around the city, looking for a bar or a club that was opened up.Then a neon sign flashing caught his eyes. The club that was the reason for him to be in all this mess.Maybe if he had listened to Chance. He shook his head at that. Wanting all thoughts of Chance to be gone."Screw Chance." He said, then got out of his car.When he entered the club, all eyes turned to him and the music seem to stop."What? Is this the first time you're seeing me?" Kristoff asked, challenging anyone to say something.But they went back to partying and drinking."Are there any V.I.P sections available?" Kristoff asked.One the host that walked up to him, she nodded, then led him to an empty section; she held up the rope for him."Bring me a bottle of bourbon, and something to smoke."The female nod before walking away,

The next morning, Chance was out enjoying coffee with Aurora. As she was showing him pictures of their family."And this is our grandmother, but she allows us to call her Kathy instead of grandma. Says it makes her feel extra old.""This is too much to take in all at once," Chance sighed."I know, sorry. I'm just excited."Chance gave her hand a gentle pat. “It's fine. But I think we should let things flow. Now I want you to help me with something. I want to find the perfect gift for Kristoff."Aurora's eyes gleamed. She clapped her hands together. "This I definitely can help with. Come on.""I still haven't finished my coffee.""Forget your coffee. We have a mission to get Kristoff the best gift ever."Chance gave her a look."Or you can bring your coffee with you." Aurora suggested.She sat waiting as her newly found brother finished his hot drink, swinging her foot and text her boyfriend."Done."

"I'm so glad you called me and decided to come meet the family today. But, what changed your mind?""There is no reason, just thought I might as well." Chance said, while looking himself over in the mirror, wondering if his brown turtle-neck sweater matched well with his black and white checked pants."You looking dashing, but if you want to change, you can. There is still plenty of time before everything is ready."Aurora came beside him, admiring herself as well."I'm so excited about this." She clapped her hands.Chance couldn't say he was feeling the same, he was only acting off impulse. All because Malcom was the one to answer Kristoff's phone.After sitting by himself, he called Aurora an hour after to tell her his decision, but left out the part with Kristoff and Malcom.Just then, his phone rings. Kristoff's name flashed across the screen and he rolled his eyes."Excuse me, this is important." Chance walked away from Au

Then he turned to Chance with a look."Is this result real?"Aurora looked at Chance, then explained to her father how she met Chance."I see. So, Chance, who is your mother?"Chance let out a breath, not knowing if he should tell Mr Spence who his mother was."I'm waiting." Mr Spence crossed his arms."I don't know if you remember her, since it had been so long ago. But her name Heather Gregory. She was a. A prostitute." Chance said rubbing his nose.Mr Spence let out a chuckle, "Heather Gregory, I do remember her but I never slept with her."Chance opened his mouth to speak, knowing that Mr Spence would say something like this."Heather Gregory was a part-time worker to your mother, who did not indulge in the same activities as Heather. Your name was Sarah Radcliffe, the owner of a club. Who thought she could help yo

Chance paused when he saw the club that Lindsay chose. He looked up at the flashing neon sign."You ok there, bro?" Justin asked, pushing Chance forward gently."Can we go to another club? I'm not too fond of this one." Chance said, fighting off the memories of him and Kristoff frequenting the place."This is the best club in town." Duncan piped up.But Chance couldn't argue with that. They did offer the best bottle service and entertainment. The only thing was, he wish he doesn't run into Kristoff."Yes. Shots, shots, shots." Duncan cheered, entering the club behind Justin and Lindsay, leaving Aurora and Chance behind.''I never got to ask, how are you doing? Now knowing that you have a family and all.''"It feels surreal, and now learning that my mother is someone else." Chance trailed off."Yeah, but you know I am here for you. We all are."Aurora pulled him into and hug and he hugged her back."And I never tha

"Man, that was something else." Duncan laughed, put his whistle to his lips, but Justin grabbed it from him."No it was not, they could have thrown us in jail.""Relax, that’s what our parents are for.""And that's your problem. You think that every time you do some dumb shit, someone will come and save you. But it won't always be like that."Duncan scoffed, "whatever."Even though Chance was hearing them, he wasn't listening. His mind was too much on Kristoff and why he was trying to speak with him even though he was there with Malcom."I'm going to head home." Chance said, walking towards his car without hearing their replies."Chance, wait. Are you sure you are ok to drive home alone?""I'll be fine.""No, I'm coming with you."Suddenly, Lindsay began to cry, then pulled Chance and Aurora in for a hug."Come here too Justin." She sobbed.
