Tales Of Love

Santiago stood up hastily. He remembered that the hospital report he saw stated that Aurora had the abortion two days before the party.

Here’s Millie Logan saying Aurora wanted to tell him about it at the party. Was the pregnancy the surprise that Aurora had told him of?

“You can’t answer me right? Listen to me President Axel, you may be rich and think the world revolves on your palm or that you can decide someone’s else’s fate but let me tell you, besides your wealth you have nothing else!.

You have no self esteem, no integrity, no conscience, nothing to put you on the right track when you make the wrong decisions.

That’s what a poor girl like my daughter has. That virtue you cannot buy no matter how much your money flows. That virtue is a jewel of an inestimable price and that’s what Aurora had got, that’s what makes her better than you ” Millie Logan reprimanded him.

She felt bitter about what Santiago said about her daughter. She sniffled and said “Your sins wouldn’t have been so great if it’s because you didn’t trust her alone but you went ahead and made a suicidal statement about her, you trampled on her self esteem, You ridiculed her personality, you renounced your love for her publickly and called her a play thing, you forgot the promises you made to her…” Millie Logan would have continued but Santiago raised his voice.

“Just stop Millie Logan!” Santiago said. He couldn’t bear it any longer, this woman’s words were like daggers piercing the depth of his soul.

His complexion had become ashen. Beads of sweat had risen on his forehead despite him being in an air conditioned office.

But Millie Logan was not done talking. She only paused and stared at his melancholic face before continuing.

“You have mocked her and her love for you. Those who throw away love spend the rest of their lives pursuing that love and in most cases they never get it back.

Can you tell me where Aurora is now, she’s not in the prison, she’s not at home and she’s not with you. Where is Aurora?

All these wouldn’t have happened to her if she wasn’t involved with you. That’s what she got for loving you

That was the greatest sin my poor daughter ever committed: loving you and carrying your baby in her belly.

But one day, you would regret every single thing you’ve done to my daughter and the words you have spoken to destroy her personality.

For what you have done to my daughter Santiago, you will know no peace. May you pay a heavy price to redeem your soul from the regrets to come ” Milli Logan concluded her words and without waiting for another minute she stormed out.

Jasper Milo looked away. He was touched by the words Aurora’s mother said. He knew Santiago was wrong in all the steps he took. He was trying to take revenge on Aurora for killing his unborn child but didn’t consider the fact that Aurora was the child’s mother.

He remembered when he drove Aurora to the party that day, he saw her smiling with her eyes closed caressing her belly. She was indeed happy that day.

It’s the happiness of an expectant mother and not the other way round.

When he looked at Santiago again, he was still standing like a statue but looked like he saw something like a drop of tear on the file in front of him. A drop of tear?.

He was shocked when he saw Santiago shed a tear after what Millie Logan had said. Santiago had never shown his weakness before anyone, not even him.

He had worked as his assistant for years but never saw him this emotional. Aurora was indeed his Achilles heel. He had to because Millie Logan words were said out of a heart that is grieving, grieving for her dear daughter.

Santiago sat down very slowly. He was lost in his thoughts. Had Aurora been threatened to murder Larry Tom and poisoned his mother? But why Larry Tom, Why not someone else?.

The door Suddenly opened and Mira walked in. She looked at the weak appearance of her brother and frowned.

Walking to him, she placed her hand on his shoulder “I saw Aurora’s mother leaving a while ago and decided to check on you. I hope she’s not come to beg you to help her find her daughter?”.

“Who brought those reports about Aurora’s abortion to mum?” Santiago didn’t answer Mira’s question but instead asked her a question.

“A delivery man. The servant who collected it told mum so” Mira answered. Why was her brother asking her such a question?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I forgot to ask mum after she was discharged, what poison did Aurora put in mum’s water?” Santiago asked again with a poker face.

Mira raised her brows slightly. Has Aurora’s mother come to say something unpleasant to her brother?

“Mum was not poisoned at all. I don’t know why Aurora would lie against herself. She’s really something …” Mira paused and thought why would Aurora lie against herself? She looked at her brother and saw his eyes became dark. What was going on?

Jasper Milo opened his eyes in astonishment. Aurora didn’t possibly abort her baby and she didn’t really poison Palmer?

In another part of the city, Tate Owen looked at the DNA report in his hand and smiled faintly. His instincts were right. Anna’s baby was his.

Felix sat opposite his cousin with a glass of juice in his hand. He took a sip and glanced at him. He was still looking over the DNA report in his hands. He chuckled and said “Tate Owen”

Tate Owen raised his head and looked at Felix. “Thank you Felix. I Will never forget this favor” he said smiling.

Felix nodded and asked him what he intended to do next. Tate Owen said he was going to claim his son.

” Wait a little more for the child to be weaned but have a word with Anna and talk things with her”Felix advised.

“What are you even saying Felix? if Anna realized that the baby is mine she wouldn’t mind killing the child to conceal her secret”Tate Owen said in alarm.

He will take actions but do it in his own ways. He’s a lawyer and knows better than anyone that he can’t take rash decisions. He would have enough evidence in his hands before taking any action.

The search for Aurora intensified as all the passengers boarding the plane were screened thoroughly before flight.

The Police officials went to Millie Logan residence and asked her if she had an idea where Aurora could be?

Millie Logan looked at the police officers and wondered if they had brains in their skull. Her daughter was imprisoned and disappeared.

They are here to ask her if she knows where Aurora could be? Even if she does, was she really going to tell them?.

“My daughter went to jail. You must find her safe even if you want to take her back to prison. To the question you asked , I don’t know where she could possibly be”Millie Logan said.

Few hours later, Jasper Milo returned to give the feedback of his investigation to Santiago. Santiago’s eyes were red. He was drunk and had lost his composure .

His necktie was loose and his hair was rough. Who wanted to harm Aurora and did it in a way that made her hurt him So that they went apart? There’s only one name coming to his head, Eve Diego!
