Tales Of Love

Jasper Milo called Santiago’s cell phone number several times without being answered. His grandfather had called him demanding the whereabouts of Santiago. According to him, his grandson was not picking his calls and the Axel group was falling into chaos.

When he heard what the Axel patriarch said, he tried calling his boss, but like the old man claimed, the phone was not being answered

. Jasper Milo became very uncomfortable. His boss can’t do without answering his grandfather’s call or his own.

He had told him that he would stop by Rowan’s mansion and bring Aurora and the kids home. He then decides to call Aurora. But her phone rang several times without being answered as well.

Jasper Milo guessed something had gone wrong. Santiago and Aurora couldn’t both refuse to answer their phones. Perhaps an issue had aroused and prevented them from answering their phones.

The Rowan’s were still waiting when they saw Eli walk in looking remorseful. Nancy was the first who saw him and wanted to tell him to leave. But it was too late because Aurora Suddenly looked at her side and saw him coming in.

With the agility of a tigress, Aurora sprang on her feet and rushed towards him as if she could beat him up. She held him by his shirt and started pulling him.

“You killed him right? You shot at my husband, you’ll have to complete the mission by killing me as well” Aurora was yelling at him. Everyone else went to hold Aurora but they couldn’t pull her hand off Eli’s shirt.

“Why did you come here?” Nancy asked in a reprimanding tone. He shot at Santiago and had the guts to still follow to the hospital. He’s really got guts!!!

“You are a fool Eli , an insane man, you should have been taken to a mental asylum rather than left in the military. A temperamental idiot like you shouldn’t be left in the military.

You know what? You are no more my uncle. I severed every tie with you Eli ! You are a murderer and that’s how I’ll ever see you” Aurora cursed and spat on him.

Eli said nothing nor showed any reaction. What can he possibly say? The waiting room had now been crowded, a scene that the Rowan’s detested. They don’t like dirty publicity but thanks to Eli , they got one.

There was only one person that didn’t join in holding Aurora to let go of Eli : Lisa. She doesn’t know why they were trying to hold Aurora back. Why wouldn’t they let her vent her anger on the one who kindled the flame. They should let her bite and scratch him.

Aurora was cursing and saying ugly words to Eli at the top of her voice and the spectators were watching and listening. Soon the securities came and chased them off.

By the time they were able pull Aurora off Eli, a few buttons dropped to the floor from Eli’s shirt. “It’s enough Aurora” Mia tried to calm her.

“Enough? Do you think it’s enough that my husband lay on that theater couch, and fought the battle of his life! What if he didn’t win, what if he succumbs? What will happen to me and the kids he loves so much? Huh?

Santiago might have done something wrong in the past, but he’s obviously a good man. Santiago acted based on the false evidence he saw at the time. But he loves me, among the whole women in the world, Santiago loves only me and the kids!.

When I experienced my first heartbreak, I got into an accident. That accident would have rendered me completely paralyzed because my mother was too poor to afford the millions that would cost for the surgery.

It was Santiago, that man in that theater room that got, foreign expert, and surgeons who did the operation and saved me. He sponsored the surgery with millions of dollars. I am alive today and can walk with my legs, thanks to Santiago.

When we were so poor, unable to meet our needs, when my mother and I were to be thrown on the street, it was Santiago who was there for us and shield us from humiliation.

He loved me when I was nobody, when I was so poor, when I had nothing to offer him, he loved me and wouldn’t even spare those girls of the aristocrats family a glance.

He only had eyes for me, me the poor Aurora Logan!

He went against his family for me, he almost gave up the Axel group to threaten his grandfather and today, he stood to protect me and was willing to give up his life to save me, from Eli’s bullets!.

How can I stay calm and watch him die? I was the one who called him to come pick me and the kids home. Had I known he would meet with a tragedy I wouldn’t have asked him to come. Santiago can go to the ends of the earth, running errands for me.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

But tell me, grandfather, grandmother, mum, aunt Nancy, aunt Lisa if he did anything wrong, for coming to Rowan’s mansion to pick his wife and kids home?” Aurora asked, in conclusion.

When Aurora finished, no one was able to answer her question. Those that turned their face away did and those who just stared at the floor did, no one was willing to meet her gaze.

There was a needle dropping silence. It seemed so quiet as if an angel was passing . Nancy held Aurora, her eyes had become teary. Aurora and Santiago had gone through a lot together.

Mia never heard anything of this before. Santiago had really done all these for Aurora? He had stayed with her through thin and thick, and had protected her in those days when she was the poor Aurora Logan.

Lisa stayed at a corner and sobbed. Her husband had hurt her. What had Santiago done to deserve this From Eli? Such a great husband and father, at the verge of death because of her own husband’s stupidity.

“Just leave” Luke Rowan roared with his blood-shot eyes.
