Chapter 17
Eve Diego sneered and said ” Aurora we meet again. Why do I always have to cross paths with you?” She asked with a grin.
She came after Aurora when she got the information she paid for. She had hired a private detective to help her dig information about Aurora Logan.
How efficient is the detective that in less than 48 hours, had gotten what she wanted. As soon as she got it, she trailed Aurora down to the hospital and waited for her.
“Get away from my car” Aurora demanded and pretended not to hear what Eve Diego said. She was not in the mood for any arguments with her. In Fact she’s too happy to have her excitement marred by Eve Diego.
Instead of leaving, Eve Diego walked towards Aurora and yanked her away from the car. She glared at Aurora from her head to her toes disdainfully and took a tissue to clean the hand that she used in touching Aurora.
“Do you call this a car? This is not a car but a box with four tires. The least of the servants in my house can afford something better than this” Eve Diego ridiculed her.
The car wasn’t that bad, it’s a BMW but not the latest model. Eve Diego just said things to make Aurora really feel inferior to her.
” I don’t want to have issues with you Eve Diego, don’t try to stop me again” Aurora said and went into her car.
“I am not here to waste words with you either, you poor thing. I only want to confirm from you about something important I discovered today” she chuckled and held the car door preventing Aurora from being able to close it.
“Tell me Aurora, so you are from the orphanage? you’re really born by mistake? Ho… ho wait before you say you’re not, tell me why you were left at the entrance of the orphanage by an unknown person?”
Eve Diego paused and looked at Aurora’s frowned face. She felt excited, her words were hitting targets. She will continue her taunting in as much as Aurora was competing with her over Santiago.
She smiled and wanted Aurora to feel more miserable than this. “Your mother would definitely have been a prostitute. And she knew keeping you was going to ruin her business hence she disposed of you like a piece of trash that you truly are”.
Aurora could not take it any longer and stepped out of the car. No one likes her mother being insulted and Aurora was not an exception. She might not have met or known who her real mother was but she will not stand her being insulted?.
She stared at Eve Diego with her eyes red. Her entire body was giving out vibes of anger. “Mind your words Eve Diego. I will not have you insult my mother. You have no right to judge my mother’s actions” she warned Eve, staring at her eyes as their noses almost touched each other.
As if she was not the one Aurora was warning, she continued ” Oh, so you have a mother? I’ve always thought Millie Logan was your mother, oh poor woman, how very considerate of her to have adopted you at her retirement. She should have left you there to end up a prostitute like your mother”. Eve Diego said and made a tut.. tut sound with her mouth.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Aurora couldn’t take it anymore. She raised her hand to slap Eve Diego but the latter intercepted it. “What do you think you are doing, trying to hit me like before? Only in your dreams will that ever happen again” Eve Diego flinged Aurora’s hand away.
Eve Diego eyed her before saying “Stay away from President Axel. Our engagement will be made public the day after tomorrow so I advise you not to be the third party if you don’t want to experience what you experienced when your ex boyfriend jilted you and got married to someone else” she started walking away.
Aurora stared at the retreating back of Eve Diego and said ” Watch out for my surprise then. Coupled with Santiago’s love for me you’ll definitely end up as the third party” and gave a faint smile.
Eve Diego only grinned but refused to look back. She went into her car and drove off. Aurora sat in her car and sobbed until her nose became sour. She placed her head on the steering wheel and cried. Eve Diego must have had a thorough research on her to know so much about her.
There’s nothing like a secret in this world if it’s known by more than one person. She had thought not many people knew of her story. But now it seems that was going to be a hurdle before her and Santiago.
She knew the Axel Family would not Support their son’s marriage to a girl who’s origin cannot be defined.
This was going to be another reason they’ll detest her more. She took a tissue paper out of her bag and cleaned her tears before driving off.
Eve Diego became uncomfortable with what Aurora said. What surprise was Aurora planning to give everyone at grandpa Axel’s birthday? This Aurora of a girl is a scheming bitch and can not be predicted. She can only silence her by outsmarting her.
Eve Diego conceived a plan in her heart and thought of who would be able to help her execute it. She decided and settled for Larry Tom.
Larry Tom was one of her father’s bodyguards. She made a call to him and everything else was settled. But she had to carry her mother along to avoid any flaws in the execution of their plans.
Aurora felt tired and coupled with the thought of Eve Diego’s ridicule of her earlier, she didn’t go back to the Axel group but went home to rest.
Next day, when Aurora woke up she felt weak and sleepy. She tried going to take a bath but Instead started throwing up. She touched her belly with her hand and smiled. She whispers gently ” you are my only chip and my surprise to the Axel family my dear baby”
She went downstairs for breakfast and the first bite of the food sent her throwing up again. Her mother narrowed her brow and looked at her intently. After washing her face, Aurora comes back to the dinning and pretends she’s fine.
Her mother stretched her hand across the table and took Aurora’s hand. She looked at her pale face and knew what was happening “you are pregnant Aurora. Have you already known about it?”
Aurora froze at her mother’s words. Had she already known that she was pregnant? She bent her head and gave a nod. Her mother asked her if she had already told Santiago about it and she said no.
She really was unwell that day that she didn’t go to work. She called Santiago and told him that she’s not coming to work because she’s busy with a surprise she had for him and the entire people that will be present for grandpa’s birthday.
Santiago accepted her reasons without further questioning. Later in the day he had her dress for the birthday delivered to her at home.
But Aurora had no idea of the nightmare that awaits her. She slept that night without knowing it will take years for her to ever sleep in that house again.
Next day Aurora woke up. She yawned and stretched her hands. she was having the usual nauseating feeling but still felt very happy.
She took her bath, got dressed up and went to have her breakfast. Her mother had prepared her dish that morning specially by adding a chili seasoning and less spices.
She ate and didn’t feel like throwing up. She was pleased with her mother’s care and gave her a thumbs up.
She took her handbag and an extra bag containing her party wear and makeup. Although she knows that Santiago was not going to allow her makeup herself but called an artist for her but still she carried it anyways.
Her mother called her back and told her to tell Santiago about the pregnancy before the party began.
She smiled at her mother but did not tell her yes. She was going to announce it before all the guests in such a way that the Axel’s family will not be able to refute her from being with Santiago.
Had she known, she would have followed her mother’s advice.
