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

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

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

EthanI made my way to Aurora's room with a determined mind. I was so sure now, I was so sure of what I wanted. I wanted Aurora, no one else. The past few minutes have made me realize that she was the only one for me, she was the only one I needed no matter what anyone says.I was going to make things right her, I was going to choose her.I arrived at her door and knocked, there was no response but I had a feeling sche knew it was me so I said, “Aurora, please open the door, I need to speak to you." My voice was low and calm but deep down I was restless.“Go away," she said. “I don't want to talk to you. Go and meet your fiancee.” I don't know if it was me imagining it but I could hear the pain in her tone and it made my heart ache. She must have seen when Tiffany had come in during our argument before storming off. “Listen Aurora, I was wrong, now I realize my mistakes. It's you I want, no one else. I want to make things right with you, please let me in." I replied with just as muc

AuroraAll the elders were already gathered in front of the King's room when Ethan and I arrived. Without wasting a second, Ethan opened the door for me to walk in along with two representative elders and family members. With confidence in the cure, I went forward and began a checkup on Ethan's father as everywhere was dead silent, I knew everyone had their eyes pinned on me with bated breath.I checked his heart rate and vitals. I gasped as my eyes widened in surprise at what I found, it was almost unbelievable.“What is it, Aurora? What is the outcome?” Ethan asked, his eyes burning with curiosity. I turned to look at everyone present in the eyes and paused a bit for the news I was about to announce. “The cure- The cure, it...it works! It is effective!” I said our of surprise and my face broke out in a smile. I was aware the cure would work, I was certain but, I was still surprised it did. My months of research paid off.That was the only news they needed to hear as they broke ou
