Tales Of Love

The man gave a giggle and said ” Aurora Logan, a girl from the orphanage had Suddenly made that orphanage popular. She was said to have been found at the entrance of the orphanage many years ago”

He went on to talk about how she was later adopted by the matron at her retirement. He told him how the girl Aurora had committed a murder and was sent to prison.

Eli Rowan’s expression was stiff.

He was already contemplating maybe that Aurora was his niece. She’s from the city orphanage and found at the entrance of the orphanage?

Seems this instance is coincidental with the information he had about his niece. Could she really be the one he’s here to find?.

The taxi driver seemed to realize he had talked too much which is not part of his work.

Besides, the man doesn’t seem interested in what he is saying hence he didn’t make any comments. He coughed slightly and looked at the man from the rear mirror. The man seemed to be in another world, lost in his thoughts.

Eli Rowan was taken to a new hotel close to the orphanage. The driver offered to help Him settle into his room since he was new to the country.

Eli got a room and the taxi driver helped him with his small luggage. When he was about to leave, he gave Eli his card telling him to call him anytime if he needed his services.

Eli gave a faint smile from the corner of his lips. “What’s your name?” he asked. “Mario, call me Mario,” the taxi driver answered.

“Am Eli ” Eli Rowan said and collected his card. “I will call you soon” he said as he opened the door for him to leave.

As soon as Mario left, Eli logged unto the Internet. He wanted to know more about the girl Aurora Logan.

He hoped to start his investigation tomorrow morning. He had contacted his old colleague that they both went to the military academy together. He’s based here in Florence City. But before calling him, he wants to read more about Aurora Logan.

As soon as he logged in, the news of Aurora popped up. When he saw her picture, his breath almost choked.

He opened his mouth agape. Does he still need to do a DNA test to affirm who this Aurora is?

Eli sighed deeply. Looks like his stay here was not going to be as long as he had thought. He read the news and saw the various negative comments said about Aurora.

There was no need to contact his old colleague, he was going to start from the information he’s just got.

Eve Diego went shopping. In the next couple of hours she was going to be President Axel’s fiancee. She made various choices of dress and finally settled for a gown. The gown was beautiful and embroidered at its tip. It’s a new dress from the famous designer Dave. It’s a new brand of shadow. Shadow was the Latest release from Dave Fashion empire.

She got the jewelry and a pair of shoes to go. As she returned to her car, she was full of smiles. Her dream was going to become a reality. But she has one last assignment to do.

She stopped by a pharmaceutical shop and bought some abortion induced drugs. The pharmacist had refused to give her without a doctor’s prescription but Eve Diego threatened to have his pharmaceutical business go into extinction. He became scared and Succumbed.

She got the drugs and put an overdose in a drink. She brought food and took the drinks along to the prison to see Aurora.

She had bribed a nurse at the city hospital who told her that Aurora came for a pregnancy test and it was positive.

That was what triggered her to frame Aurora of having an abortion. Now that she had all things happening according to her wishes, she will have to help Aurora abort that pregnancy indeed.

She can’t let that child be born. She doesn’t want anyone to threaten her future happiness.

When she got to the prison, she pretended to come and see Aurora saying they were friends but she was restrained.

With crocodile tears in her eyes, she then gave them the food she brought that Aurora’s mother specially prepared for her.

The time was approaching for her to join Santiago at the lovers paradise. She got dressed and even hired an artist for her makeup.

When she put on her gown, she really looked gorgeous but the gown was a little too long for her.

The artist told her that the length of the gown was too long for a girl of her height but she told her that it was none of her business.

Eve Diego finished her dressing and went to meet her parents who had been waiting for her for over half an hour.

She held her gown up stylishly. When her mother saw her, she felt the gown was a bit too long for her but said nothing. If that’s how Eve Diego wants it, so let it be. They got into the car and went off.

Santiago didn’t change from the Suit he wore that morning. His face was icy cold. He had done nothing today in the office other than to smoke.

Jasper Milo stared at his boss. How could Santiago still be comfortable sitting in this office without Aurora around.

“Your engagement will be in the next thirty minutes. I think you should get going now”Jasper Milo told him. He knew Santiago was just being egoistic, he really was hurting for Aurora.

When they got to the lovers paradise, it was just ten minutes left before the engagement started.

Before stepping out of the car, Jasper Milo spoke “Are you really happy doing this?, if you are not, you still have a chance to walk away”. Santiago ignored him and stepped out.

When Eve Diego saw Santiago she finally sighed. She was afraid he would not show up. She smiled at him but Santiago passed by her without giving her as much as a glance.

His mother called him and said the ceremony was to start soon and asked about the ring.

Ring?, it was then Santiago remembered they needed a ring to be engaged. It was too late now to go get a ring.

“There’s no ring, we’ll just get engaged like that,” Santiago told his mother. This was the longest sentence he had made today.

Jasper Milo chuckled silently. Engagement without a ring? How ridiculous.

He remembered about the ring earlier but chose not to say anything. He doesn’t want Santiago to ever get engaged to anyone else if not Aurora.

Santiago knew Jasper Milo chuckled and gave him a fierce look. The latter immediately stopped and put on a serious face. Nothing seems to pass Santiago’s observation.

The engagement began properly but Santiago told the Master of the ceremony to go straight to the engagement only.

Santiago went up and stood at the podium. He threw a glance at the coordinator as he announced that it’s time for the lovers to get engaged to each other.

Grandpa Axel was the happiest one among them. Today his promise to his late friend was going to be fulfilled.

Palmer was happy too but knew there were no emotional ties binding the two.

Eve Diego walked like a princess as she placed her first foot on the steps leading to the top of the podium.

She was holding her gown stylishly. Two more steps to meet Santiago, she needed to change the hand holding the gown but miscalculated and raised her foot, and stepped on the gown. Her heels missed and suddenly she couldn’t hold herself.

She fell face down before Santiago. Santiago stepped aside and stared at the stupid girl who wore an over length gown. The reporters and Camera men who had come to cover the ceremony were not nice at all as they started taking photos of the fallen Celebrant.

Santiago didn’t give her a hand. He could save her some face and prevented from tripping if he wanted to.

But he didn’t, he just stood and stared at her, tripped and laid at his feet.

When everyone saw what was happening, they held their breath. Tola Diego rushed forward to help her daughter up and when Eve Diego raised her head she gave the camera men an added advantage

The tip of her nose was injured and bleeding. Her face was red. Her ankles were hurting her badly.

Aurora was sent to wash the toilet but she refused. She hadn’t eaten anything besides the dry bread she was given last night. No breakfast and no lunch for her.

While others were eating their lunch earlier she was told to scrub the floor. She was hungry and almost fainting. What will happen to her baby if she continues like this? and just as she returned from the scrubbing she was told again to wash the toilets.

But this time, she refused and said she was hungry and cannot do any work again.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The jailer punished her and sent her to confinement. Aurora was taken to a dark room that had no trace of light, no bed and no water.

She sat on the bare floor and cried. She placed her hand on her belly trying to comfort her baby. She felt like she was getting dizzy and Suddenly lost consciousness.

The jailer felt satisfied. She was doing what she was instructed to do. To make Aurora Suffer.

The lights Suddenly went off as a man walked into the prison well armed and went straight to the confinement room.
