Tales Of Love

Eli immediately did as he was told. Old man Rowan continued “take him for interrogation at the military barracks. After that send him to the hospital to be examined to be sure he’s not Suffering from amnesia”

David Nick’s eyes were deeply introverted. If he was taken to the hospital, that was going to be a big deal. He would be declared alright and not have amnesia. How then was he going to keep insisting that he doesn’t know Aurora before.

Great grandfather Rowan continued “I heard his wife had a new born baby boy of recent right? Take the baby from her and send her for interrogation too. If she fails to answer all the questions correctly, she will lose custody of her baby. If her answers didn’t tally with David Nick’s or what do you say his real name is again? Larry Tom right?

Ask her the following questions; Where and when did she meet her husband David Nick? Where did they get married and who were the witnesses? And finally, give the name of David Nick’s parents and their address.

When she had answered, compare her answer and David’s if they have no difference, then go and find David’s parents for a DNA” old man Rowan concluded.

Old man Rowan yawned and stretched his legs. Why make a mountain out of a molehill? These simple questions are enough to find out the truth.

Aurora felt satisfied. There’s no way a loophole will not be discovered. Her great grandfather is very intelligent. He didn’t ask that Larry Tom’s wife be asked difficult questions but simple ones that she must know the answer to.

David was already disarmed. He felt his heart beat almost skip. There’s no way his answer was ever going to be the same with his wife’s. He never thought karma was ever going to catch up with him in another country.

He had never told his wife the truth of how he became a foreigner in that country. He only told her to always insist on being a citizen of that country. But when faced with the fear of losing their baby’s custody she would succumb. He knew how emotionally fragile his wife can be.

The securities were called as they held him out with his hands to his back. He looked pitiful as he was led away.

When Aurora saw him being led away, it reminded her of how she was also led away from the Axel patriarch’s birthday party.

Without any bit of remorse, she wished him worse fate than what she experienced in jail.

Nancy and Lisa both came to their niece and hugged her. They assured her that soon the truth will be known and her uncle Eli will make him cough out the truth.

Aurora gave a faint smile. At last everyone was going to know who David Nick truly was.

They all applauded old man Rowan for his intelligent approach.

Eli had led David Nick away for interrogation while Dr Mile went to the hospital to get a psychiatrist ready to examine David as soon as he’s brought.

That day was the last day Grey was going to spend in the office before traveling. He had put things in order as Mira walked into his office.

Mira had invited Grey for dinner several times over the period of the few months he had spent in the group.

Many of the employees were already guessing that they were lovers. Mira didn’t mind their gossip because she had fallen in love with him already.

But she’s afraid Grey doesn’t love her. He only regarded her as a friend. He had told her the previous day that he was traveling and will not be coming to work for the next one week . She had felt restless over the night.

She couldn’t concentrate on her work since her resumption that morning and decided to see him in his office.

Grey looked up at Mira who just came in from his desk and smiled at her. He looked charming especially when he smiled exposing the space between his teeth.

Mira was always happy whenever he smiled at her. She walked to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.

“Hi” Grey said and tried removing her hand from his shoulder. This is an office and anyone can just walk in. He doesn’t want to give room for gossip.

Mira felt a little disappointed at his actions. She had confirmed the fact that he doesn’t love her.

“Hi” Mira greeted him. She sat on his desk and was almost looking into his eyes.

Grey was not comfortable with Mira’s gaze and closeness to him but didn’t want her to feel embarrassed.

“Are you really not coming to work for the next one week?” Mira asked Grey as if he hadn’t told her before.

“I guess I’ve told you before?” Grey answered with a question.

“Do you even think about how I am going to feel in your absence? Don’t you have any feelings for me?” Mira couldn’t hide her emotions anymore.

Grey was not expecting Mira to come plainly. He already knew she had feelings for him but pretended not to notice.

She had invited him for lunch, for dinner and sometimes for a date but many he declined. She is Santiago’s sister and he is Aurora’s brother. He hadn’t forgotten what her brother did to his sister.

“I love you Grey” Mira finally expressed herself.

Grey was surprised further. She really confessed her feelings?

“I am Sorry Mira, but I am not ready for any relationship and besides, I don’t think we can be together” Grey told her what he thinks. He doesn’t want her to be living in her false fantasy.

“I am not asking you if you are ready for a relationship, I only want you to love me back. I am ready to wait for you” Mira said.

Grey was lost.

He was not interested in her, simply because she’s Santiago’s sister. If she was someone else, he would have gone for her before now.

Mira was afraid Grey was going to say no, she stood up and sat on his thighs . Before Grey would react to her actions, she had started kissing him.

The door Suddenly opened and Santiago walked in…Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
