Tales Of Love

Grey stared at Julian Brabra with contempt. This guy still had the audacity to come look for his sister. His eyes were fierce as he stared at the man in front of him.

Julian Brabra turned his eyes away. Grey was right, why was he here. He could be said to be partially responsible for what Aurora is currently going through. If he hadn’t jilted her, she might not have gotten involved with President Axel.

But then, the deed had been done and what had been done cannot be undone.

“Please Grey, I haven’t…” Julian Brabra was trying to get Grey to listen to what he had to say but the latter interrupted him.

“Don’t you dare please me, after what you did to my sister you can still be without a conscience?” Grey Logan snapped at him with his hand raised indicating that Julian Brabra left their path. Millie Logan just stared at Julian Brabra with irritation.

They passed by him and Millie Logan took her first step through the door when Julian Brabra spoke.

“This is not the best attitude to have when your sister is sitting in jail. I only want to help Grey” Julian Brabra said with his brow slightly raised.

Millie Logan and Grey paused almost at the same time. What did Julian Brabra just say? Is Aurora in jail? He couldn’t possibly be joking with something so unpleasant.

“What did you say?” Millie Logan turned abruptly to face Julian Brabra.

Julian Brabra sighed deeply and told them all that happened and how the internet was flooding with news of Aurora’s crime.

Grey quickly searched his pant’s pocket for his phone and found it. He switched it on and logged onto the internet.

Grey’s forehead went blank when he saw the various negative comments about his sister.

Millie Logan lost her self comportment as she let loose her tears. She had equally listened to the streaming statement of Santiago on the internet and felt something terrible had really happened to Aurora.

Why did Aurora have to Suffer so much in this life?. What evil had she done in her previous life to have to go through so much pain in this life to atone for it?

Aurora must have been threatened. Millie Logan seems to understand all that has happened in the blink of an eye. They were kidnapped, then took their photos to threaten Aurora to commit murder.

They went together with Julian Brabra to the prison to see Aurora. But they were refused entry saying it was already dark. They were to come back the next day.

Millie Logan went back home but ate nothing that night. She lost sleep. How could she possibly sleep when her daughter was languishing in prison. She wept all night.

Grey’s mood was not in any way better than his mother. He didn’t shed tears but his eyes were red. He kept turning from one end of the bed to the other.

Aurora is not his parents daughter but he couldn’t have asked for a better sister. She has a heart of gold and had been an instrumental Support to his mother after his father died.

When his mother opened a coffee shop it was Aurora who took out a loan to start the business. It was Aurora who saw him through his university programme.

To Sustain the family she chose to go through part time in the university. She saved money and bought them this bungalow. And now, she must have traded her freedom and happiness to bargain with their kidnappers. Grey’s eyes became moist.

Santiago didn’t return back to his villa that night. He went to the company and stayed there all night. He kept drinking until he became drunk.

He was thinking why Aurora would kill his child. She knew how much he wanted her to have his baby.

And when she became pregnant, she chose not to inform him but rather had it aborted.” I hate you Aurora, I really hate you” he said and smashed his phone against the wall.

Jasper Milo was watching him and shook his head. His boss is really something else. He had made a public announcement of having nothing to do with Aurora but here he was drinking himself to stupor.

He had been smashing things against the wall since he started drinking. This was the second phone today and his laptop had Suffered same thing earlier today.

He had known Aurora for a while but didn’t think Aurora is someone who can do all she was accused of.

Though she had shot Larry Tom to death before everyone, poisoned Palmer and aborted her own baby there must have been a reason for doing what she did.

He tried to take Santiago home but he vehemently refused saying Aurora’s smell was in the villa.

He ended up dozing on the couch before Jasper raised him, puting Santiago’s hand on his own shoulder and took him to sleep in the lounge.

When Santiago woke up the next morning, he perceived Aurora’s body perfume on the bed.

He frowned. Why is her fragrance everywhere? It definitely was in his villa and now, in his lounge. He doesn’t want to perceive it anymore.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

He doesn’t want anything to remind him of that bitch. He hates her so much now.

But then, he remembered that the last call he made to Aurora she told him she was sleeping in his lounge. He must have the bedspread changed today.

He stood up and went to have a shower. As he came out, he remembered today was his engagement to Eve Diego. He had made the announcement himself. He Suddenly became moody.

He puts on one of the extra Suits he has in the lounge and comes out. Jasper had bought him breakfast already and he took just two bites before pushing it aside.

As expected of Jasper Milo, he had bought another Phone for Santiago and registered his phone number on it.

His phone rang. He looked at it and answered the call. Palmer’s voice came through “Santiago how have you been? Will you be accompanying Eve to the boutique to buy her engagement dress? I was thinking you both should wear the same color outfit”.

Santiago’s expression was stiff. His answer was too meager “I am too busy to spare time” without waiting for his mother to say another word he hung up.

Millie Logan and Grey quickly got prepared and went to see Aurora. When they got there, Julian Brabra was already there.

But they were not allowed to see Aurora. Julian Brabra tried to persuade them saying he was the son in law to the minister but the jailer only said he was a son in law to the minister but he was not the minister himself . When they refused to leave, the jailer further told them he was just following orders.

After much pleading, the jailer told them quietly that Aurora had offended who she shouldn’t have and the one she offended is President Axel.

He had forbidden anyone to be allowed to see Aurora. The jailer then pleaded with them not to let anyone know he was the one who sold the secret.

Millie Logan swollen red eyes resumed its shedding of tears again. Grey held his mother in a side hug as his eyes gradually became red too.

Julian Brabra looked at Millie Logan and saw the dark lines below her eyes and knew she didn’t sleep at night.

He really wanted to help them. He knew how much they loved Aurora. But he was practically handicapped.

He couldn’t ask his father in law to help nor can he go to meet President Axel. He doesn’t have the qualification to. He could only advise them to go plead with president Axel.

Millie Logan and her Son Grey came to the Axel group to see Santiago. She was told to wait while a call was made to Santiago’s office.

When the receptionist dropped the call, her face was stiff. She told them that the President said he was going to pardon them this time but when next they disturb his quietness he was going to make them join Aurora.

Millie Logan lips twitched hard.

Was this Santiago’s ruthlessness? He was going to send them to jail for coming to plead with him?.

He should at least hear her out first. Perhaps he could help apprehend the kidnappers who might have threatened Aurora into doing what she did.

Aurora had stopped crying. She was sad but it seems there were no more tears left for her to shed.

She curled herself, hugging her knees as she sat at the corner of her bed. Has anything happened to her mother? Why had she not come to see her? She needs a shoulder to cry on and someone to share in her grief. She closed her eyes and wished her mother and brother should be safe.

Few hours later, a man stepped out of the airport. Eli Rowan sighed deeply. He has come to Florence City and can only return after he finds his niece.

He hailed a taxi and asked him to take him to any hotel near the city orphanage.

The taxi driver was a cheerful man, and asked if he was new to the country?.

Eli Rowan was not one who easily disclosed things about himself but he felt the man’s cheerfulness and told him yes.

The words the man said next left Eli Rowan’s eyes wide open.
