Tales Of Love

Santiago went to his study, he stood by the window with his back to the door. He was smoking. He didn’t know Aurora could ever become so daringly arrogant to him. It seemed wealth and power had truly brought out her other personality.

He was doubting if Aurora still loves him but now, he knows she had no feelings for him anymore. He saw her looks and harsh words to him. It’s a sign that a woman doesn’t love the man anymore when she behaves and talks recklessly to the man she once adored.

There’s no need to pursue her anymore. She hates him and detests him. He will keep a far distance from her henceforth. If it Hadn’t been for the kids, he would have swore not to have anything to do with her anymore.

There are other rich wealthy men and son’s of the high class especially from the aristocratic family who actually wanted to be her boyfriend. He meant nothing to her again.

He had done nothing to her the previous evening other than watching over her and ensuring she became alright.

And yet, she accused him of taking advantage of her and drugging her. Why would he do so to the woman he loves and the mother of his kids?

He soon finished smoking a stick of cigarettes and took another. He was about to lite it but decided to pause. He folded his arms and kept looking outside the window.

He doesn’t know how long he stood there, lost in his thoughts. But he soon heard a faint knock on his door. He thought he already told them not to bother him. But the knock persisted, he took the remote and pressed it, and the door opened.

But, as soon as the door opened, he knew the person who entered was Aurora. But he refused to look back. What does she want from him now?Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Santiago” Aurora’s voice was thin and emotional. But Santiago didn’t answer nor turned to look at her. When Santiago didn’t respond to her, she walked closer and stood inches behind.

Santiago’s physique was captivating. He was taller than her with a broad chest and a slimmer waist. She stared at his back view and saw a bigger version of her son Sam.

“I watched the video and saw the news. Thanks for saving me and my family’s reputation from scandal. Thank you” Aurora appreciated in a weak feminine voice.

Santiago’s expression was cold. This was Aurora who insulted him earlier with an arrogant air. What happened to her voice now? Had the video and the internet news Suddenly made her regret her initial outburst to him?

“Miss Rowan need not to thank me. I’ve only returned a favor” Santiago replied. But instead of Aurora leaving, she started sobbing.

Santiago was behaving aloof toward her. Perhaps she had hurt him with her words a while ago or the day he came to her at the Starlight holding. She can’t endure the torture of her feelings for him.

Santiago froze at what Aurora was doing. Was she really crying? Before he could turn to face her, she had embraced his waist from behind. She placed her head on his back and sobed harder.

Santiago was in a daze, he held her hand and carefully turned himself to face her teary face. Aurora buried her face on his chest and was sniffing.

Santiago said nothing but held her tight in a warm embrace. He remained mute holding her, he wanted her to cry and relieve herself. He was going to hold her as long as it took.

Aurora had actually stopped crying but remained in that position and took in his masculine fragrance. After a long time, Santiago asked “Are you alright, Aurora?” shaking her head, Aurora replied “No, I am not alright, I love you”

Santiago loosened their embrace and held her a little inches away from his body. He raised her chin to make her stare into his eyes. He looked at her puffy eyes, scrutinizing it before asking “Repeat what you said”

“I said, I love you, I love you Santiago, I really do” Aurora repeated herself. “You still love me after all that had transpired between us?” Santiago wanted her to reaffirm her confession.

“Whatever happened was in the past. Today and in the future, I will only love you” Aurora declared.

Without another word, Santiago let his lips crushed on hers and started kissing her passionately. The gentle kiss gradually became a vigorous one. The kiss intensified until Aurora almost choked, had Santiago not let her go. “I love you the most Aurora, l love you to the moon babe”

Santiago drove Aurora to a restaurant and they both had lunch. Santiago actually adored Aurora, bringing back the past pleasant memories they shared.

Having had their fill, he drove her to the Starlight holding. With the promise of checking on her later, Santiago dropped her off and waited until she took the elevator before speeding off.

That same day in Florence City, Eve Diego was planning to close earlier than the usual time. She was going on a date with the youngest master of the Bradston group.

James Bradston had spent almost all his life in America and had only returned a month ago. He returned to assist his elder brother in running the Bradston group.

There was a rumor that he was a drug addict, but no one had actually witnessed or had any evidence against him. But when he returned, Tola heard about it and made a call across to madam Bradson, her childhood friend. And the result of that call is their blind date scheduled for that day by 7:00PM.

Aurora got into her office and called Wale Jones. As soon as Wale saw her, he smiled like the sunshine. “Are you ok boss Rowan?”.

“I am fine. Tell me how it all went at the party” Aurora asked pretending to be ignorant. He wanted to know how Wale Jones felt and what he reported back to her family.

Before answering, Wale Jones presented her cell phone and her purse to her. There were multiple missed calls on it.

Wale Jones explained to her all she already knew and the fact that he ensured to have the surveillance camera deleted at the hotel last night before leaving. Hence giving the police no glue to tracing the act to her.

Aurora was pleased and gave a megawatt smile and a thump up to wale Jones. Setting down, she busied herself with the work on her desk.
