Tales Of Love

Few days after the funeral ceremony of the late patriarch of the Rowan’s family was ended, Santiago Paid a visit once again to the Rowan’s mansion and intended to take Aurora and the kids back home.

For days, Aurora still remained at Rowan’s mansion with the kids. She had insisted that she would stay with her family for a few days together with the kids to mourn her great grandfather alongside the others.

Reluctantly, Santiago agreed. Aurora is his wife and the Rowan’s are her family and family they say comes first. He had called Aurora earlier in the day and the latter told him to come pick them home.

Everyone had returned to their usual bustling life and Mia to some extent like the others had been able to put the death of her grandfather behind her.

She would have left already to her Villa but lingered because Aurora and the kids were still there.

That evening, after leaving the Axel group, Santiago took the road leading to the district where the Rowan’s mansion was located.

As he alighted from his car and turned the door knob, the one he came face to face with was Eli . He greeted but rather than answered, Eli stared at Santiago with a killing intent.

Since the latter ignored him, Santiago made to pass by him into the Mansion but Eli blocked his way and pushed him backwards.

But Santiago is not some piece of paper that can be sent flying at the slightest throw. Mia came in time and witnessed what Eli did.

Mia came towards them and saw the two men standing almost with their noses touching each other. Eli ‘s countenance was furious while Santiago’s was expressionless.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Eli felt like choking Santiago. This fellow was the cause for the rift between himself and his sister, dragging Aurora into it. Santiago on the other hand stood with his hands in his pants pocket and stared at Eli unblinking.

“What’s the contention about?” Mia asked, seeing the action of the two men. Eli just wanted to make trouble for Santiago. Because of their recent reconciliation, she doesn’t want to appear as being on the side of her son-in-law.

Aurora also walked in on them and puzzled at the sight of Santiago and her uncle. She knew trouble was about to sprout out.

Ignoring his sister, Eli asked “Didn’t Aurora tell you that I said I don’t want to see you in this mansion again?” giving Santiago a contemptuous look. “I really don’t have an interest in whether you want to see me or not. I only came to pick my wife and kids. Have you got any problems with that?” Santiago replied expressionlessly.

Aurora’s grandparents were not in, they had gone to pay homage to the President for the action and part he played during her great grandfather’s funeral.

Her uncle Mile was also not at home, only her aunts, her mother and herself were home. In fact, Eli was also on his way out but encountered Santiago at the door.

“That’s enough, the both of you” Mia cautioned. She can’t stand and see two grown up men quarrel like two little girls. She’s the eldest at home and should put things in order.

Turning to Aurora, she instructed, “Go get the kids and get going. Hurry!”. Aurora walked briskly to Lisa’s room where Sam and Samantha were playing the guitar. “Aunt, please go talk to uncle, Santiago and him are having a fist of contention”.

Lisa stood up quickly before Aurora could even finish making her statement. Her stomach was already visibly protruding. Aurora called the twins and started following Lisa.

She will just forget about the mini Suitcase and get going at once. When they came out, Aurora heard Santiago said “I don’t want to disrespect you because you are Aurora’s uncle”

“I am directly warning you, don’t you ever bring your damn fucking ass into this mansion again” Eli warned in frosty voice.

“And if I do?” Santiago asked with a cold expression. “I won’t leave you an intact corpse,” Eli threatened.

“Enough! The kids are here and you are still both quarreling?” Lisa reprimanded.

Setting his eyes on Aurora, Santiago said “Get the kids into the car”. He turned and was going to leave but Eli was really interested in a fight.

“You’re never leaving with those kids,” Eli said and gripped Aurora’s hand, preventing her from taking another step forward.

Santiago turned and seeing Eli holding Aurora aroused a wrath within him. “What did you say?” he asked.

“Have you added deafness to your irresponsibility?” Eli snapped at him.

Mia knew that there’s going to be a fight here. She can’t let the kids watch their father and uncle go on like this “Lisa, take the children in and don’t let them out except I come for them myself “Mia instructed. Lisa nodded and took their little hands away from Aurora.

Aurora had become angry now. Why is her uncle headbent on picking a fight with her by contending with her husband?

“You think you can stop me from leaving with my kids?” Santiago asked in a furious manner.

“Are you even qualified to call them your kids? How can you call them your kids when you can’t even defend them when they are fetuses? You don’t even know when and where they were born. And you think you are a father?” Eli taunted.

This was a past in Santiago’s life that he doesn’t want to ever remember. He hates it wherever this past is used to taunt him. That’s the weakest and ugliest part of his past.

Lisa returned just as Santiago replied “I admit I wasn’t, but were you also there when I planted my seed in Aurora’s belly? You weren’t, I know. But that singular act made me the father of the kids?”

Aurora and Lisa exchanged glances, both blushing, especially the pregnant Lisa.

“That’s enough uncle! Who the hell do you think you are to insult or question my husband’s fatherly rights? Could it be that my husband is better at that act than you?” Aurora lashed at him. He wants to ridicule Santiago right? She’ll first molest him.

Furiously , “You Aurora!” Eli yelled and brought out the pistol baged in its pouch. He gnashed his teeth and pointed it at Aurora but Santiago was quick and dashed in front of Aurora:

POO!!!!!!

POOOO!!!!!!!!
