Mrs. Logan called her daughter later in the day and asked her if what President Axel said earlier was true? She was eager to hear that it’s true that her daughter was indeed the girlfriend of Mr. Axel.
But Aurora shook her head and told her it was a means he used to scare those scoundrels who would have cheated them.
Aurora’s answer made Mrs. Logan disappointed but still, She smiled and told her they were lucky to have Mr. Axel intervene in their affairs
Aurora tried calling Julian Brabra but for reasons she can’t explain, he was not answering his phone but kept rejecting it.
She tried several times but later gave up. Julian Brabra’s job seems to be taking too much of his time. He hardly calls her and when she does, he doesn’t answer most times.
She had to see him and tell him all that had happened to her. She then texted him that she wanted them to meet. She waited but Julian Brabra neither replied to her text nor called her back.
Mario Stone stamped his feet on the floor a number of times, his eyes introverted as he saw the shares of his company Suddenly dropping drastically. He knew that president Axel was going to get revenge on him but didn’t know it was going to be this way.
He had sent his bodyguard to find a way to drug Santiago Axel of the Axel Group. He had thought he’d play his cheese well. Is either Santiago messed himself up with hired prostitute he arranged, to take pictures of him having an affair and possibly have the video recording. This was the fastest way to ruin the Axel Group.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
But and if he rejects the prostitute, then, he would end up in a mental assylem which would made their partners to withdrew their contracts with them leading the Axel Group into bankrupt.
But something had happened, it is either the damn waitress didn’t deliver the drink or Santiago Axel did not drink it. Who then took the drink? The bodyguard had assured him that the waitress did as she was instructed.
The failure of the plan made him cripple the bodyguard then bribed the hotel manager to set Aurora up and made her end up in the police station; Destroy her family and make her miserable.
But all his plans were ruined by Mr Axel, the hotel was locked down Suddenly with all the staff in police custody. His company is now paying the price for his scheme.
Santiago Axel investigated who was behind the drugging of his juice but found no clue because all the CCTV cameras were blank and Aurora couldn’t describe the person who sent her except that he was wearing a mask.
If Aurora had not experienced the effect of the drug before his eyes he would have thought she was trying to get closer to him.
But when Aurora Logan was arrested earlier, he had investigated and found out that someone had bribed manager Julius to set Aurora up. He took it up from there and got the answer to be President Mario Stone of the Stone Group . He swore to utterly destroy the Stone Group.
Next morning, Aurora was awakened by her phone ringing. She ignored it the first time. But it soon started ringing again. She reached her hand to the bed stand and took her phone. Looking at the name of the caller, she connected the call.
Before she could say hello, she heard Remy’s shaking voice “Aurora! hello… Aurora, are you awake?” Remy sounded nervous on the other end of the phone.
Aurora sat up and told Remy that she’s awake. “Have you checked the news on social media this morning? Aurora I am coming over to your house” Remy ended the call.
Aurora yawned and lay down with her head on her pillow, she logged onto the internet. Before any of the news could pop out, she saw the picture of Julian Brabra and Anna kissing.
Aurora froze. Her brain was yet to analyse what she just saw.
Anna was Aurora’s classmate in High School. They were not friends but they got along together. Anna’s family were not wealthy but they were better than Aurora’s. Julian Brabra was their two years senior, and had been Aurora’s boyfriend from high school.
Julian Brabra went to Florence City University with Anna. But Aurora had to go through part time in the same university making her graduate a year after Anna.
Recently Anna’s father was favored by the President and he was made a minister. Aurora pleaded with Anna to persuade her father to get a job for Julian Brabra. Julian Brabra then got a job with the country’s embassy.
But that was the beginning of their estranged relationship. He became estranged from her after he started work at the embassy. She only attributed it to his busy schedule.
Aurora sat up quickly, her breathing becoming more difficult; She read the full news of Julian Brabra and Anna’s engagement.
They were getting their marriage certificate from the bureau. They took lovely pictures and posted the pre-wedding pictures. Their wedding was coming up soon.
Aurora was in a daze. She just sat there with her phone in her hand. Tears running down her cheeks. When did they both start their relationship? how come she didn’t get a wind of it?
She had only thought that Julian Brabra was very busy these days. That’s why he didn’t come visit her again nor spend enough time with her on the phone.
How could Julian do this to her? They both loved each other to the moon, at least that was what she thought.
He can’t jilt her and be with Anna. No, she must be dreaming. Julian can’t do this to her. He loves her as much as she loves him.
How can he get entangled with Anna and even get married to her? She wants someone to wake her up if she’s dreaming.
She didn’t know how long she’d been crying alone in her room but Remy soon came in and gave her a tight, long hug. She wiped the tears off her face and told her to be calm.
Aurora’s mother soon came into her room. She had read the news herself, and felt a heartache. Aurora really Loved Julian Brabra and she had always thought he loved her too.
How false his love for her had been. And why should he stand her up for Anna? Or could it be because She’s now become a rich lady, daughter of the minister?.
She was quiet, despite her mother’s and Remy’s Words to her, she remained mute. When she stood, she went to take a shower and dress herself up.
She was going to see Julian Brabra. She wanted to hear everything she saw on the news from his lips.
