Chapter Twenty Six
The reading of the will took place the next afternoon in the one of the bigger dining rooms at the Cunards’ estate. She and Jared went ahead to ensure their legal counsels are present and that have been coordinating in terms of the communication about Jared’s new role as Cunard’s figure head. Paul Cunard’s lawyers namely Harold Specter and Anthony Spencer were having a closed door meeting with her mother when they arrived, after a few moments they came out of the chamber looking pleasant. Aurora kissed her mother on the cheek, and shook hands with their lawyers whom she was already familiar with.
“You feeling alright, mother?” Aurora whispered as she hugged her mother. She was wearing a Chanel tweed blouse and skirt, with her white blonde hair arranged perfectly like an English rose.
“I am well, darling. Where is your husband?” she inquired, her eyes looking for her son-in-law, at the same time Jared turned around and began walking towards her. He gave her a chaste k

“I’d like to know the full details and extent of your relationship to him before you and I got engaged,” he said, his expression serious and was now leaning behind his chair his attention focused on her. “Well,” Aurora still confused did not find anything wrong about his question so she obliged. “I’d like to know why are you curious about that when it was so over like I remember months ago,”“Because he was there earlier today. At your mother’s,” Jared looked at her with interest. She was surprised with that information and did not bother to voice it out. “He was? I did not see him”“He fetched Alicia and her daughter. He was waiting at his car when they came out of the house, and he shared a kiss with her,” Jared mentioned which made Aurora’s eyes bulge huge as saucers. “He kissed Alicia? Surely, you are mistaken!”Jared chuckled at her reac

“I might need to up my game with my wife soon,” Jared breathed as he sat in the side of the tennis court. He and Scott were playing their second round of tennis in Scott’s estate just a 15-minute drive away from Jared’s. It was one of their brotherhood moments that they sustained through out their friendship since childhood. Scott looked at him confusedly. “What do you mean up your game soon? Is your marital relations on the brink of ruin after only a few months of being wed?”Jared looked at him warily which made Scott chuckle in amusement. “Thank you for announcing my marriage’s status Levinson. I pray you get your legs shackled soon so you’d know what I’m saying,”“Red seriously,” Scott finally sat after wiping his forehead and neck with a towel and drinking his Gatorade. “Aurora Cunard is a beautiful woman not to mention rich as Croesus, now you’re trying to tell me you’

“Do you expect your husband to woo you after turning him down when he said he can’t be certain he can reciprocate your feelings?” it was Rosalie speaking to her daughter in the drawing room of the Cunard family home. Aurora noticed her mother’s disapproving expression.“I’m not expecting anything mother,” she replied stoically. “Well, that is a lie. I honestly don’t know what to expect after that confusing conversation.”“I don’t see any confusion on that conversation, Briar,” Rosalie told her eyeing her quizzically. “As far as I understood based on what you told me, he asked you for marital relations and you refused on the grounds that he can’t be sure he can love you.”“Nobody brought up love mother,” she replied defensively. She stood up from where she was seated and looked about the window outside where her mother’s flower garden was sprawled bea

Aurora was not sure if she was doing the right thing. The past three weeks she has received numerous emails from the list of charities and organizations that Cunard Shipping Ltd was supporting and it was overwhelming. Their company, now hers and Jared’s has begun communicating to her the schedules of meetings, agenda, gala events and fund raisers stretching six months out into the calendar. Truth be told, she was having a birth pains to what she calls now her full time job. Her profession as a surgeon needed to be placed in the back seat as her focus has now shifted to continuing her late father’s legacy. It was a gift to her soul that Dr. Finnegan has decided and convinced the Board of Directors at Massachusetts General Hospital to keep her maybe not on full-time but as a visiting surgeon.For that she was grateful. Now she finds herself in New York having scheduled a series of luncheons, meetings, and dinners to formally welcome her as patron. She was grateful,

Jared turned on the defensive. He folded his arm across his chest and leaned against the wall putting significant distance between them. “You already rejected me, based on our last conversation. I don’t force myself to someone who obviously does not have any interest in me.” “I did not reject you, I rejected your offer,” Aurora stressed. “Right, because you were asking for certainty that I cannot for the life of me even determine if I was capable of giving. Do you even know how relationships work, Aurora?” “Of course,” she replied strongly. Feeling insulted in his insinuation. “It should be built on a foundation of trust and friendship,” “Which we don’t have,” he pointed out. “What we do have is a genuine mutual attraction which I believe you still hate to admit. I may be wrong on that assumption but this marriage is unconventional in many ways that the wedding vows came first before forming anything of significance between us. There’s an even bigger

He had the rest of the afternoon for himself and was grateful for Renata that she did not add more meetings to his day for the first time. He let Sacha drive Aurora to her meetings, and informed Renata to just hire an external chauffeur for him for the day. After his visit to the site and further meetings with Herman and their construction team, he called it a day and decided to do some shopping. Earlier that day, he realized to his utter horror that he has never given Aurora a formal engagement ring, nor a wedding gift. He was not usually negligent with these matters but he had to admit their wedding, then the funeral, then the corporate transitions took a lot of his attention the past few months. It was not an excuse, he admitted and would simply just remedy it as soon as he can. Renata already made an appointment for him at Harry Winston and is a frequent client whenever he wanted to buy blings for his former girlfriends.Aurora was not a girlfriend and an engagement ring

She woke up with the continuous vibration of her iPhone which she left on the bedside table. They went home later than planned as Jared got waylaid by acquaintances. By the time they were on their way home, Aurora was feeling the signs of migraine and went directly to bed. She was now sitting up in the bed when she heard a knock on her door. “It’s open,” she called out while ensuring that she was covered by the blanket. She only wore her satin night gown and her breasts were evident in them. Jared came in looking fresh out of the shower, wearing a navy button down cleanly tucked under dark pants, and his casual Tod’s loafers. He looked good enough to eat, she realized. How can one man look so ruggedly good-looking, yet polished at the same time? Where is the justice in that? “Good morning,” she said in greeting thankful her voice was steady and firm despite feeling the opposite. He gave her a warm smile “Good morning. Rested well?” he said walking towards the settee located on the l

He arrived in New York earlier than she expected. She was in the kitchen when she heard the apartment door open and his six foot four frame walked in looking crisp and polished. The only deviation are the markings of tattoos in his upper arms that are now visible due to the folded sleeves of his white button down. He looked delicious and when she shifted her gaze to his dark grey eyes, she could not help but swallow a huge lump in her throat. He looked at her with so much intensity, she almost caught her breath. Those eyes were full of desire and she noticed that the man was walking purposefully towards her. She could not take her eyes off of him. She was brought back to her reality when she heard the pasta sauce boil and had to remove her gaze from her husband and focus on the task in front of her. “Flight okay?” she managed to croak. But before she could receive an answer, she felt his arm circle her waist and was pulled against him for a warm embrace. She decided to accep
