Tales Of Love

When Mira heard Aurora’s reply, she turned to face her and gave Aurora several slaps on both sides of her cheeks. She would have continued if Santiago hadn’t raised his hand to stop her.

Was this the girl referred to as her brother’s girlfriend? Such a vicious girl?. Mum had told her about Aurora and how deep Santiago’s love for her was.

They all knew how Aurora had saved Santiago back then. They appreciated her kind gesture and wanted to compensate her but she refused to accept all they offered.

Later they discovered that Santiago was dating her. Palmer had told her daughter that she felt Santiago might be thinking he owed his reputation to her and hence made her his girlfriend. She was even offered a job as Santiago’s personal secretary.

But when Eve Diego returned back from abroad, Santiago refused to officially get engaged to her.

Mira stood staring at Aurora angrily. Thank goodness she hadn’t openly Supported her relationship with her brother.

She had been eager to meet her secretly at the end of today’s party and assured her of her Support in her and Santiago’s relationship but didn’t know she was actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Aurora had no way to dodge those slaps. Her hands have been held to the back. She closed her eyes, trying to endure the burning pain she felt from Mira’s slap. She kept her tears trying her best to hold it from running down her cheeks.

Santiago looked at the swollen red cheeks of Aurora and demanded for the Surveillance camera. It was soon brought and it shows Aurora going into his mother’s room. Since there were no cameras inside the room, they didn’t know what she did inside. It showed when she came out again.

Santiago’s hands clenched into a fist. He stared at the report on the floor close to his feet and his eyes became cold. Aurora dared to abort his child and even made an attempt on his mother’s life? Anyone who tries to scheme against him whoever it is will drink the cup of his wrath.

The chauffeur was immediately called and Palmer was taken to the hospital.

Before entering the car, Santiago glanced at Aurora with a killing intent which made Aurora shiver.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

As Santiago went away, she knew he had actually walked out of her life, she knew then and there that a gulf had been created which might separate them forever.

Her life was going to be miserable. She predicted that even in jail her life will be worse than death. She knows Santiago too well and can predict he will not let her go easily.

The guests who had been standing like spectators started making negative comments as Aurora was led towards the door. ” A vicious beauty. Who would have believed when this girl walked in, that she was actually a beast”. ” looks are indeed deceptive”. “She’s a poor girl from the orphanage who doesn’t even know who her real parents are”.

When Aurora heard all these comments about herself, she felt hurt the most.

Before finally stepping out of the door, she turned back looking above her shoulder and saw Eve Diego’s lips raised slightly with a smile.

She knew Diego was the mastermind behind what had happened here today and swore to repay her the debt she now owned her if ever she got out of jail.

An ambulance came and took Larry Tom’s body away.

Grandpa Axel felt really ashamed of the turn of events. This was his birthday party but it had ended up being the center of casualties.

The reporters he had invited because of Santiago’s engagement were really going to have good headlines tomorrow.

He blamed himself for not separating his grandson from that poor thing a long time ago.

The party abruptly came to an end. Grandpa Axel apologized and all the guests went away.

Palmer was taken into the emergency unit. Santiago stood outside the unit with Mira and Jasper Milo and waited for over two hours which seemed like eternity to him before the doctor came out.

He told them Palmer was saved but needed some few hours rest before she could be discharged.

Santiago called his grandfather and told him not to be worried that his mother was out of danger.

He needed to visit the police station. He must see that the law takes its full course and he must ensure that beyond the law taking its full course, Aurora tastes of his wrath.

As he got there, he met CEO Diego. As soon as he saw Santiago he said ” I didn’t mean to offend you President Axel but Larry Tom was like a family to us”.

Santiago gave a slight nod. He quite understood the point Caden Diego was driving at.

He wants Aurora to be jailed but Santiago wants her to experience a worse jail term than anyone else in the history of Florence City.

He had a private discussion with the commissioner and then went away.

Aurora was put in a dark cell. She finally broke down in tears. Now was the time to shed the tears she had been holding back. She cried and her nose became sour.

Then she remembered the video she saw earlier; she saw her mother and brother tied to chairs back to back with their mouths taped.

On the wall were two bombs ready to be exploded. She became afraid and chose the option of doing what the caller said, to save her family

Millie Logan and Grey were the only two families she had. She can’t take the risk of losing them because of her selfish desire of being Santiago’s girlfriend.

As soon as she took the option of doing the caller’s bidding, she knew she would end up in jail but that seems more convenient for her than bearing the guilt of seeing her family perish.

But what about her unborn baby? Will he or she be able to see the light of this world?.

She wept the more and her only wish right now was to see her mother and brother. She had thought of giving Santiago the best news he had ever heard. But here she was, not certain of ever seeing him again.

When Santiago returned back to the hospital, Palmer had been transferred to a private ward. He looked at the pale face of his mother, and felt like strangling Aurora.

Was it Aurora who made his mother Suffer like this? He would see that she suffered a worse situation than his mother’s present state.

His love for her now equals his hatred. He won’t let her die but she would prefer death to what awaits her.
