Chapter 13
Michael
Red hot rage, those are the only words that can describe my current mood, Ryker should not have touched what was always meant to be mine. He is my best friend, he should have known better, and ‘beautiful’? who gave him the right to call her that? If I didn’t respect him as an individual, I would have killed him on the spot but I respect his work ethic too much to damage his image. So, I let it slide, just this ones. The whole day went by with me barking orders and throwing tantrum at my staff, I couldn’t help it, she fucks up my mind to no end. At some point, there is a knock on my door and I groan in frustration,
“Come in!” I shout and in comes my beauty with her red hair tied in a bun, navy blue skirt that ends just above her knees and cream-colored long sleeve see through shirt that shows off her ample breasts. I haven’t seen a single women who carries professional wear as graciously as Aurora does, everything about her screams ‘here for business’ and it p

AuroraThat went horribly, I never wanted to yap about my issues to him and I certainly didn’t want to look like a mess in front of him, the only reason I went there, was because I didn’t want Michael to do anything irrational about the whole ‘Cole Ryker’ fiasco. Instead, I ended up having a therapy session with the last person I thought that would give a damn about my mental health, but the truth is, I needed to vent, I needed to talk, I needed someone to listen to me for ones, not for sympathy but just for the sake of being there for me. I couldn’t hold it back any longer than I already did, it felt good to just… let go.I went home that day to find Amelia sitting beside my mother’s frail body, rubbing some ointment on her forehead, when I stood near the door Amelia looked up and gave me a sad smile. I immediately knew, mom wasn’t doing well today, actually she isn’t doing well for the last entire year, but now,

His grin widens and he give me a little wave, showing of some paper work. “Got to get these signed by the boss man, see you in a bit” I smile at him and he saunters towards Michael’s cabin. I get back to work and don’t look up until it’s time to go fetch Michael’s laundry. That is when Cole decides to come out of Michael’s office, when he sees me get up, he asks “going somewhere?” I nod “yes, just picking up Mr. Calloway’s laundry”, Cole frowns but doesn’t say anything. I shut down my computer system and start to leave when Cole interrupts “do you want me to drop you there? My car is just outside” I shake my head and am about to say ‘no’ when he interrupts. “Come on, I’m going in the same direction” I hesitate, even though I know Cole looks like a decent guy, I don’t want to take my chances, he seems to notice that and says “I swear I won’t get touchy feely with you, I am a very decent guy that way, if you want, we can even grab late lunch at the dinner nearby.

MichaelAll I could think of, at that moment, is how I’d enjoy watching the life drain out of Ryker’s eyes for even thinking about touching what was ‘mine’. But I knew better, one touch, one sweet smile and one look of adoration in her green emeralds, that’s all it takes for a man to fall for her act. I’ve been there, I know how toxic she can be, I know how over powering the urge to have her all to yourself can be. She was this ugly temptress, who no one saw coming but everyone wanted a piece of.I saw the moment she realized I was watching and relished in the fact that her body turned visibly rigid, good. I wanted her to suffer just as much as I’ve suffered for the last nine years, I wanted her to feel my pain. When she walked in the direction of the glass doors, I didn’t do anything to conceal the fact that I had witnessed her little ‘stunt’. She swallowed a lump and pressed my suit closer

AuroraI stood there, in the hallway, all alone and rethinking the last fifteen minutes over and over again in my head. My heart hurt at the intensity of his words, and the truth behind them too. I was truly alone and miserable but what got to me was his insinuation that I was a ‘whore’, I made him believe that and now I had to live that lie, no matter what. I gave myself another five minutes to wallow before I straightened my back and walked towards the private elevator for Calloway Construction’s. When I looked at myself in the mirror attached to the elevator, I gasped.I looked like a mess, my mascara was running down my cheeks, my lipstick was smudged and my eyes were puffy from all the crying, I had to make a pit stop at the washroom before I entered his office because I looked like the ‘definition of disaster’ in that moment. I was still wiping my face with a tissue when Bianca came to me with a hesitant look on her

Michael I fucked up, I fucked up really bad this time, a single moment of weakness and I had to go kiss her. Fucking idiot, but I just couldn’t look away from those plump pink lips of hers, they were so close to mine, and I just had to move an inch to claim them. I couldn’t think about anything other than the movement of her sweet, tempting lips. And then she licked it slowly as if urging me to take what I want, as if sensing my internal battle and giving me a ‘go ahead’. She trapped me in her web of deception and lies, again. I abruptly pull away from her and push her behind, she stumbles back in shock, her mouth hanging open as if she just now realized what ‘we’ did. I curse under my breath, and weave my fingers through my hair. I look away and mutter “fuck, that was a mistake”, a strangled sob leaves her throat and my gaze snaps to her face. She’s on the verge of crying again, in fact her eyes are already glazed and if I don’t let her go now, I think I’ll

Aurora‘Idiot’ is an understatement for the mistake I’ve committed, I vowed to never give him the truth, I vowed to never talk to him about it, I vowed to never break his heart again. And that is exactly what I would have done, the kiss made me hazy with lust and indecision. It made my mind go all fuzzy, all I wanted was to be in his arms and never leave but that thought was quickly crushed when he said ‘he regretted kissing me’, that sentence broke me in the worst possible way. The next few days, we keep our conversation’s strictly professional but I can sense some change in his behavior.Something, I can’t quite point out but still feel it in the air, where usually there used to be just ‘hatred’ now, it is now filled with curiosity? Like I’m a mystery he can’t solve. I don’t look into it too much, because what’s the point? He’ll never know, they’d neve

MichaelSunday morning, I leave for my jog around town, it’s quite out here at five am, which shouldn’t surprise me, since I lived here for the better part of my teen life. I jog randomly through familiar lanes that bring back, both good and bad memories. My mind wanders to Aurora’s last words before she left that day, I still can’t help but feel the ‘truth’ in her words. The nagging feeling in my chest, just wouldn’t leave me, it’s as if, in my heart, I know, something is not quite right, I think I knew it the first time I laid my eyes on her at that bar, the luster in her eyes was gone, and the usual sparkle was missing too. It was as if all life had left her body, I realized then, that maybe there was something fishy about our abrupt ‘break-up’.I don’t realize where my sub conscious has brought me, until it’s too late, I stare at the tattered wood pieces of the roof and the blackened w

AuroraMom and I were sitting on the tattered living room couch, talking about old times, when my sister and dad were still with us and I realize, that the tell-tale signs were always there. My sister was never going to stick with us, I don’t remember when we fell apart but it was just around the time when she found her high school sweetheart Ben. “Do you remember the time when you sister ran away with her boyfriend?” mom asks suddenly.I nod, because I do remember, she left without a word and that made it a hundred time more painful, we might not be tight as a knit but we still shared pretty much everything with each other. “She left a note in my room, that morning” my mom confesses and a gasp of shock leaves my mouth. I did not know anything about the existence of a note, mother lead me to believe that she left without a word and that I shouldn’t call the police because she knew about Ella’s whereabouts.“And you
