AuroraI walked out of the hospital with a tired sigh. I may love saving lives but that didn't stop me from being exhausted after the day's work. I have been working double time ever since Ethan's father incident, I wanted to save him at all cost. For some reason which I refused to acknowledge, he felt like family and I would have done the same thing for any of my family. I knew that everything would be fine once a cure has been discovered so I increased my determination to find one. Maybe it was because of how busy I was, I hadn't seen Ethan for three days now. I usually leave very early for the hospital, leaving Arne in Kelly's care and then I return quite late when even Arne had fallen asleep. But with that in mind, why was I still not satisfied? It was because deep down I knew that Ethan was purposely avoiding me, if he wanted to see me, he would have found a way already no matter how busy he was. “What do you want me to do?”“Leave me the hell alone” The scene at the Jewelry
AuroraA gasp escaped my lips at his words and I turned to look at him. I expected him to move his face back when he saw that I was turning to look at him but he didn't. His face was a hair breath away from me causing me to suck in a sharp breath. His gaze held mine tightly. I wanted to pull back, I wanted to walk out from him and this room. I wanted to tell him off, that he was an asshole for disrupting my once peaceful life away from him. I wanted to say so much but at that moment I felt weak, I couldn't look away from his beautiful orbs that was churning with raw lust. Heat pooled in between my legs, I felt like I couldn't breath even though I was breathing just fine. He eyes fell on my lips and he began leaning in, I knew what was about to happen and my heartbeat intensified. Do I really want to kiss him? This needed to be stopped. His lips had barely brushed mine when I gathered the little strength in me to push myself off the chair.“W..what are you doing Ethan? Why are you d
Chapter 41EthanIt shocked me the way Aurora ran out of the room. One second we were having the best time of our lives- myself anyways- the next minute, she was running out of the room. Rushing after her, I tried calling out to her to speak with her but she dashed away from me quickly. It was only after she had gone that I realized what I had done.I fucked Aurora.We had sex.I found myself unconsciously walking and taking a seat on the bed, I brushed my hands through my face and went through everything that had just happened. I suddenly didn't blame Aurora for leaving, we had done something we shouldn't have.We had sex… a forbidden intimacy that was supposed to die in our hearts. “Have you fucked her yet?” Mom's words sounded in my ears, vibrating in the depth of my heart and I buried my face in my hands.She hadn't meant Aurora, she meant Tiffany, my wife to be, but there I went going for who I wasn't supposed to.I supported Aurora calling me an asshole because at this moment
AuroraMy heart skipped and my knees felt weak but outwardly I remained unmoved and composed. I didn't even spare him a glance as he stormed out of the room despite the painful constricting feeling in my chest. It was after he left that I released the breath I didn't even know I was holding. I felt tears threatening to pour out of my eyes as his words replayed in my head over and over again but I kept pushing it back as hard as I can. “Mum, is everything okay? Did Uncle Ethan do something?” Arne asked curiously which only made me feel irritated. “Focus on getting ready instead of asking me silly questions," I retorted harshly and I instantly regretted it. What the hell was wrong with me, how could I let such a news ruin my mood to the extent of transferring the aggression to my son?“Sorry mummy, I'm ready now.” I felt deeply ashamed when I heard his small guilty voice and I sighed.I pulled my son in for a hug and placed a small kiss on his forehead before pulling back with a slig
Aurora“Good heavens, Arne!" The wail escaped my lips once I caught sight of his bloody hands."What happened to you? How did you get injured? Didn't I tell you to not touch anything?” I bombarded him with questions as I rushed towards him to check his injury.My sharp tone and questions only made him flinch in fear and I immediately felt bad. I quickly took him to the bathroom and placed his hands under cool running water, fortunately the cut was not that deep or long. When all the blood was washed off, I took him back to the office and dried his hands with a towel.“How did you cut yourself?” I asked in a softer tone while I took care of his wound.He sniffled, “Sorry mom, I got bored and began touching your stuff on the table." His voice was riddled with guilt.I sighed as I wrapped his injury with a bandage and pulled him to sit on the chair. “It’s okay sweetheart, you are going to be fine. I shouldn't have let you stay here without supervision and you should have listened to mumm
Ethan How dare she? How dare she talk to me like that? Did she forget who I was?I was furious, I knew she was trying all possible means to push me away but I couldn't help but still be angry that she could speak to me in such a demeaning manner.Do I really mean nothing to her? Was last night really a mistake to her?I had come to her about what transpired between us and how I wanted her to be mine but she ended up making me furious and I stupidly blurted out that I was getting married in seven days.I really don't know what to do, I wanted to start something with Aurora but I'm beginning to think again that's perhaps, Tiffany was a better option. For the family, it was. It was what everybody wanted after all, including her.I took a deep breath as I placed my hand on the door knob leading to the conference hall. I had a meeting with the elders, I knew what they were going to talk about and I didn't want to address the issue especially now that I was upset but I couldn't just avoid
Aurora“Don't worry Sam, she will be fine, I promise. I will speak to Aurora about hastening up her research and giving us something to start it." I heard him say as I got close to the throne room door.I took in a deep breath and exhaled, I knew it was my time to step in so I spoke up loudly, “That won't be necessary, I have found the cure,” I said as I walked into the room. Everyone turned look at me so quickly with disbelief written all over their faces. I wasn't surprised by the reaction, it was still a shock to me too, I never thought I would find the cure so quickly and in such an unbelievable manner. Ethan shifted I his seat and asked, “What do you mean? Did you actually find the cure?” he seemed to have spoken everybody's mind because they all nodded eagerly.“Yes, I have found the cure." I stated trying to keep a straight face then I took out a bottle for my lab coat and placed it on the table. Everyone eyed the bottle on the table with shock, disbelief and greedy eyes.
EthanI opened the door that led to my father's room to allow Aurora walk in and a few other people following behind her. Two elders from the council along with me, Sam, Mom and Hadria watched Aurora with hopeful eyes.I gave Aurora a go ahead with a nod and I saw her exhale before going to sit beside my unconscious father. She brought out a syringe and administered it into his arm, everyone's eyes were on her and the king, we were so focused as if we expected the man to suddenly come into consciousness and spring out of the bed.We have waited for this cure with desperation for so long that it was surprising.After she administered it, she proceeded to check his vitals and anything else necessary, all this while the room was quiet, only the sound from her working was heard. About 5 minutes passed and she exhaled before coming to stand in front of all. She had a blank face on so I couldn't tell anything from it.“Let step outside to give the patient some space," she said and walke
