Tales Of Love

Aurora couldn’t say another word as her voice became choked. She was crying. Eli held her more closely and winked an eye at his wife.

Lisa walked over and held Aurora’s hand. “Don’t cry anymore my dear niece”.

Aurora glanced at Nancy. She already acknowledged her as her niece? She is meeting her for the first time and already accepted her as a family.

The two women hugged each other.

“You heard that Luke, she called me grandmother? she… she just called me her grandmother” Mrs Rowan stuttered as her eyes became teary.

“Happy now? she called you grandmother before calling me her grandfather” Luke Rowan said with a feigned disappointment. They had both been eager to meet Aurora and know who she will call granny first.

“Can’t you help being jealous? Common, I had thought you would have outgrown this habit” Mrs Rowan said smiling through her tears.

“I don’t think I will ever be able to outgrow this habit of loving my grandchildren,” Luke Rowan replied.

Aurora had now stopped crying, she was now giggling. How sweet a couple her grandparents are.

Nancy looked at the giggling Aurora and smiled. “You haven’t seen anything yet Aurora, your grandparents are lovely people”

Mrs Rowan opened her arms, waiting for Aurora to walk into them. The latter smiled with teary eyes as she ran into her grandma’s open arms.

Mrs Rowan gave Aurora a hug. They both stayed in each other’s embrace until Luke Rowan gave a slight cough. “It’s my turn to hug my granddaughter”.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Aurora started laughing and turned to her grandfather and said “grandfather” and went to him.

Soon, Aurora was in the Helicopter with her grandparents. She looked outside its windows as the Helicopter took off.

She knew from that moment that her life had changed. She was going to be a different woman from that moment onwards.

Her personality will change, her family will be made up of different people and she will be free from the shackles of shame and scandal.

Everything is going to be new henceforth…

At the prison, the inspector had been told that Aurora was taken to the confinement the previous day before the sudden power outage.

It’s almost lunch time and Aurora should be brought out. She must have learnt her lessons by now.

When the security opened the door, Aurora was not there. He went back to report that Aurora was not in the confinement section.

“What do you mean she’s not there, have any of you released her already without my orders?” The inspector roared.

They searched every nook and cranny of the prison but didn’t find Aurora. She probably had escaped was their final conclusion .

The Inspector suddenly lost his composure. What was he going to tell President Axel who told him to make her life a living hell. How can he prove the fact that his hands are clean on Aurora’s disappearance?.

“Where is Sergeant Lulu? Tell her to report here immediately” . But the security soon came back and reported that sergeant Lulu was critically ill and was in the hospital.

Sergeant Lulu was indeed ill.

After her covetousness led her in consuming the food and drink that Eve Diego brought for Aurora, hardly two hours passed after eating the food when she started feeling a terrible abdominal pain. Before long she started bleeding and couldn’t finish her night shift before being rushed to the hospital.

The police were contacted. And soon the news was out that Aurora Logan had escaped from prison.

When Santiago heard the news, his palm formed into a fist. How could Aurora have escaped?

Aurora was too weak and naive to have the thoughts of escaping or could it be someone from within had aided her to escape?

” Aurora!!” Santiago screamed as the veins popped out on his forehead, Smashing everything on his desk.

He wants to punish her but not for her to disappear outside his reach.

Suddenly, inside the Helicopter Aurora shivered and felt cold, it’s like she heard Santiago’s voice calling her name in her head.

But she discarded the thought and assumed it was her imagination.

“No Aurora, you can’t escape. I must find you even if I have to go to the deepest part of hell” Eve Diego said with a sneer.

The news of Aurora’s escape had reached her too and she hates Aurora the more.

Santiago had felt happy after the engagement couldn’t hold. He had gone home and had a warm bath to calm his tension.

When he got to the office the next morning, he looked better than he was yesterday. Only for him to be bothered about Aurora’s escape.

None of the surveillance cameras captured her escape apart from the small gate at the extreme back of the prison that was found opened.

Santiago, unable to understand how she could escape from prison with so much security, decided to see the inspector he paid to deal with Aurora.

When the inspector stood before Santiago, he was shivering. He was tired of answering questions. His Superiors had questioned him, the police also had done the same.

And now, he had been summoned by President Axel and his eyes alone were enough to scare the last bit of courage and strength from him.

“How did she escape without any one of you on duty knowing. Or you aided her to escape? You were bribed by someone to help her escape, right?” Santiago bellowed.

“I did not sir. I really don’t know how she escaped” the inspector denied. He was shivering. He knew he was going to stand before a panel and might suffer the risk of losing his job.

“You think I will believe your words? Do you look like an idiot to you?” Santiago yelled, looking very furious.

” I swear on my life and on the lives of my wife and children. I don’t know how Aurora Logan disappeared..”he insisted.

Caden Eve became uneasy about Aurora’s escape. He later was informed that Larry Tom’s body was kidnapped and the bodyguards accompanying the ambulance were shot . The ambulance never got to the hospital. Something isn’t right, what does anyone want a dead body for?.

He couldn’t make a report about what happened for the shame of ruining his reputation. He only felt sorry for all Aurora was going through.

Millie Logan walked into Axel’s group and went straight to the elevator. She was not going to waste words with the receptionist or ask her if she could see Santiago. She will go in herself and face him.

The security came after her to stop her but it was too late as she pushed open the door to the President’s Office.

Santiago was smoking again.

Jasper Milo stood before him with a bottle of liquor. He was always tense whenever his boss was unhappy. He felt the heat of his anger and wondered what he would do to help make him feel eased.

But the door was Suddenly opened without a knock.

Jasper was Surprised by the Sudden violent pushing open of the door and looked at who had the guts to barge into the President’s office without being permitted.

When he saw Millie Logan walked in with a frosty look and the securities filed In after her. ” We are sorry sir, we tried to stop…” but the security stopped when he saw Santiago raise his hand. He waved his hand to them to leave and they did.

Millie Logan looked at Santiago and sneered ” I had thought you loved my daughter. I had thought you were worthy of the baby in her belly” Santiago’s palm formed a fist. He doesn’t want to hear or think about his aborted baby . Here’s Millie Logan adding chili to his healing wounds.

“She was happy, she was going to tell you at the party and before everyone that she was carrying your baby in her belly. But I and Grey were kidnapped….”she paused and snuffled.

Santiago snapped his eyes at the sobbing Woman. He was processing her words when she continued ” She was probably threatened to do what she did. You have known Aurora for a while now, do you think she could do what she was accused of?”Millie Logan asked.
