Tales Of Love

Next morning, Aurora was transferred from the police station to the Prison. She was given a prison’ ware and taken to a room to join other inmates.

Her body aches. Her scalp seemed to have a wound and her cheeks were swollen red. Her eyes were hurting too due to her sobbing and sleeplessness.

She looked very unkempt with her hair almost covering her face. In less than 24 hours, her princess’ appearance had turned into something detestable.

She didn’t sleep at all last night, but how can she possibly sleep when she had no idea how things are with her family.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She had done what she was told to do but hoped the scumbag kept his promise and let her mother and brother go unhurt.

The thoughts of Santiago and what he thought about her was taunting her. She must find a way to make him understand everything and why she had to do what she did.

She laid down on her tiny bed as the other inmates cheered at the arrival of another criminal. Aurora ignored them. She was not a criminal like them even if she finds herself there.

She closed her eyes and hoped to see her mother soon so that she can have her take a message to Santiago for her.

Who actually poisoned Santiago’s mother? She was told to go in and out of Palmer’s room for the surveillance camera to pick her movements. But as for what she said to Mira, she was just following orders.

Unknown to Aurora, the news of what happened at the previous day’s event has flooded the Internet.

The pictures of Aurora had occupied the front pages of the various newspapers and magazines. The television stations were not left out.

Aurora’s picture was placed side by side with Santiago’s. Various comments were made to certify if truly they were lovers or affirm if Aurora was truly Santiago’s girlfriend as rumored.

It became the hottest news in town. Different captions like ‘President Axel’s girlfriend is a murderer’ , ‘ A beauty with a beastly heart’.

Pictures of Santiago kissing Aurora at the party were displayed as well on all the various social media.

Her adoptions were dug out and her relationship with Julian Brabra was equally mentioned. Everything seemed exaggerated on social media.

When Santiago saw that the relationship he had with Aurora was going to cause a huge scandal that could affect the Axel group, he called some reporters and journalists to make an announcement.

Palmer was discharged from the hospital. When she got home and went through the Internet, she saw the various comments about Aurora.

When she saw Aurora’s picture placed side by side with Santiago’s, she frowned. She doesn’t want her son to be caught up in the web of scandal that Aurora had created.

She had to call Santiago and have him do something to clear himself from the ongoing news so as not to affect the Axel group when she saw the news popping out on her phone.

She smiled, as expected of her son. Santiago had always been an intelligent boy otherwise, how else could one explain why his grandfather had entrusted him with the position of the President of the Axel group until when that Aurora girl threw herself at him and distorted his reasoning.

Santiago stood in front of the twelve storey building of the Axel group Surrounded by reporters. His face was icy cold emitting a powerful aura.

Santiago said he had no emotional ties or relationship with that murderer called Aurora Logan other than bisiness.

She was just a play thing he used to satisfy his sexual demands in exchange for money. He further called her a poor thing from the orphanage who sustained her family from the money she earned by sleeping with him.

He said they all should discard the news they heard about Aurora being his girlfriend saying he could never condescend so low to keeping such trash as his girlfriend.

He concluded his statement by saying tomorrow evening by 7pm was his engagement to the daughter of the Diego family at the Lovers Paradise.

Many went to Aurora’s blog and cursed her calling her a cheap whore. Some call her a private prostitute. Others said she was a wild chicken who wanted to fly on the wings of a phoenix.

When Eve Diego heard the press statement that Santiago gave, she felt butterflies in her belly.

Not only had she sent Aurora to prison but made Santiago voluntarily announce their engagement tomorrow.

She actually used a stone to kill two birds. Her plans were well executed and the results are awesome and amazing.

Later that day, Aurora was called by a prisoner warder to follow her. She was brought to the office and told she was to watch a certain news.

Aurora sat and the press news that Santiago made earlier was played before her.

She watched and listened to every word that Santiago said.

Her heart felt like being poked with a dagger. Her tears run down her cheeks. As she returned to her room, her hopes of making Santiago understand why she did what she did was shattered. He referred to her as a play thing he used to satisfy his sexual needs.

Santiago’s love for her had been shipwrecked.

She holds no place in his heart anymore. Couldn’t he hear her out and possibly know what her reasons were?

Santiago had forgotten about his promises and the good times they had shared. Aurora felt her heart was empty.

She must have thought too much to think of explaining herself to Santiago. Aurora cried as the thought of all that had befallen her flashed through her memory.

Where were those promises he made to watch her back for the rest of their lives? Didn’t he promise to love her alone forever?.

How soon to have forgotten his promises and turned his back on her at a time like this?. Did he really believe she did all that?

“Is this how much you loved me Santiago?. Have you suddenly forgotten all the good times we spent together?” she asked but Santiago was not there to answer her questions.

All the memories of all that have befallen her came afresh as her nose became sour. He was going to be engaged to the one who schemed against her?

At sunset, Eve Diego disguised herself and hired a taxi who drove her to a suburb. She wore a faced cap and took a path farther before entering an old house.

A certain person sat across a table and smoked. “I’ve been expecting you Miss” and puffed out smoke.
