Tales Of Love

“Someone had ordered the surveillance camera deleted. No record of Aurora nor you found. The police got no evidence to further their investigation”Jasper Milo said.

“About Kushner Nick,” Santiago asked. “His vas deferens was injured by the kick and as we speak, his testes have been surgically removed in order to save his life. As it is now, he has become a man-made eunuch”Jasper Milo replied with a chuckle.

That is what Santiago wants him to experience when he gives him that dangerous kick. That is his take home gift for messing with his woman.

“How is Miss Aurora now?”Jasper Milo asked. He knew she was definitely going to be fine even if it means the boss staying up all night

“She’s fine now,” Santiago replied.

Nodding his head, Jasper Milo added “the evidence of all Kushner Nick past deeds and illegal deals was sold out by him. And as we speak, the government agencies are after him and his father.

Santiago dismissed Jasper Milo with the instruction of contacting Mia Rowan, the former CEO of the Starlight holding, Aurora’s mother and tell her about Aurora whereabout.

At the Rowan’s Mansion, everyone ate their breakfast silently. They’ve seen the breaking news already. They suspected that Aurora was the anonymous woman in the news. But her name was not mentioned and the police said they have no record from the surveillance camera. But Aurora was not home last night and till now, they’ve not heard a word from Mia.

“Where’s my granddaughter?” Luke Rowan asked, directing his gaze at Mia. Mia quickly chewed her food and swallowed it before answering, “She’s fine, she was almost caught up in the scandal with Kushner Nick but she was saved”

Luke Rowan squinted. Aurora was saved but she was not home last night and was yet to return that morning. That boy Kushner Nick had wrecked the pride and self-esteem of many ladies and would have dragged his granddaughter in the mire along with himself.

What kind of human was that boy Kushner Nick? His life was so full of scandals and his damn father was able to live with it. Now that the government is after him and his son, not only will his name and reputation be ruined, his entire world and business will experience a shipwreck.

“Who saved her?” Eli Rowan asked. He was a lieutenant and should be responsible for his family member’s security. He wondered why there were no bodyguards around Aurora.

“Santiago Axel did. Wale Jones told me last night about the turn of events and how Aurora was saved by him. He was the one that deleted the information on the surveillance camera before the police arrived” Mia said, briefing them about Wale Jone’s call and quick actions.

“Wale Jones was with Aurora?” Luke asked. with Wale Jones, Aurora should have been in safe hands.

“Yes, but Aurora excused herself to go to the restroom. That was the last he saw her the previous night” Mia replied.

Mile asked “Who is Santiago Axel?”. “He’s the President of the Axel group and also Sam and Samantha’s father,” Mia replied.

Everyone paused momentarily. Wasn’t he Supposed to be in Florence City? Aurora was President Axel’s girlfriend? How did he know that Aurora was in trouble and came to her rescue?All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Luke and his wife exchanged looks. When did Mia meet him and how certain was what she said? He remembered that he was present at Aurora’s welcome party but didn’t get to meet him personally.

“Since when did you know about him Mia?” Madam Rowan asked. Her daughter will never cease to amaze her. She knew things, but would not say until the matter had gotten to a bottle-necked stage.

“when I saw him at Aurora’s welcome party. I immediately suspected he and Aurora had something to do together in the past, judging from each Surprised gaze at the other, secondly Sam is a spitting image of him. Later I asked Milli Logan about it and she confirmed my suspicion” Mia said deliberately omitting the scenario of their meeting in her office.

“If he was so capable, why did he allow her to go to prison?” Eli asked.

“Perhaps because of the words ‘lost trust’ ” Mia replied.

That way, no one said anything for a long time until Mile said “Grandfather’s health is becoming more delicate and deteriorating. I am thinking of transferring him to the hospital”.

“I was going to suggest that to my brother-in-law. I tried feeding him his medicines last night and he couldn’t even take them” Lisa explained.

“If that’s the case, maybe you should,” Luke replied. His father was growing weaker and sometimes, would not even recognize him. Despite efforts by Mile and the family doctors, he doesn’t seem to be responding to treatment.

“Lastly, tell Aurora, when she returns to bring that fellow home for me to scrutinize him. The Rowan’s are known for integrity and self-esteem. If she wants to get back together with him, they have to begin with the marriage plans” Luke instructed, directing his gaze at Mia.

The latter gave a slight nod before everyone stood up to go about their daily activities.
