Tales Of Love

Officer Alexander swallowed hard and tried acting courageous. He stared at the unblinking eyes of Santiago and coughed slightly before saying ” We need Miss Logan to come along with us for some questioning” .

He tried to be casual as much as possible with his words. He doesn’t want to be at loggerheads with President Axel. One has to tread gently when dealing with these rich folks.

CEO Caden has been staring at Aurora since she walked in with Santiago. She seemed to be familiar. She bears a lot of resemblance with someone he used to know many years ago.

If that pregnancy wasn’t aborted back then, he would have concluded that this Logan of a lady was the child.

A spitting image of a woman he loved many years ago. But anyways, he waved that thought off.

He has heard about Santiago’s rumored girlfriend but never met her until that morning.

He listened to officer Kim’s answer to Santiago and felt displeased. “President Axel, your so-called girlfriend assaulted your fiance and I expect you to take appropriate action” Caden Diego said with feigned anger.

Eve Diego and her mother were pleased with what her father had just said. Eve Diego felt butterflies in her belly.

” I do not deny the fact that Aurora hit your daughter. But have you ever heard that he that pelts others with pebbles asks for rocks in return?”. Santiago asked and pulled Aurora to go inside the office.

He doesn’t like to talk too much but this ‘Diego’ of a people are not sensible enough to know that it takes two to fight.

Aurora was quiet. Just yesterday, Santiago had scolded her because of this Eve Diego and this morning, he stands to defend her against the same Eve Diego.

How very unpredictable his attitude was. Her smile was obvious. She held Santiago’s hand, ready to follow him until Eve Diego’s tears and words made Santiago pause in his steps. She felt Santiago’s anger as his hand held her tightly that she would have cried out if these nuisances were not here.

“Brother Santiago, you should pity me. See what Aurora did to me. She hit me and would have killed me if the servants had not intervened.

She… ha.. tes me so much. Maybe I should forget being a fillia daughter and not fulfill my grandfather’s promise to your grandfather” Eve Diego said amidst tears.

When she saw that Santiago paused his movement, she smiled inwardly. She would have won the award for the best actress if this was a competition.

Aurora was almost suffocating from Eve Diego’s lies. Which of the servants were present when she slapped her. Why didn’t she give reasons why she had been slapped. She can’t just hit her for no reason whatsoever, when she’s not insane.

“No Eve, don’t say that. Your grandfather was an honest man who thought to keep the bond of friendship with the Axel family.

How was he supposed to know that a certain trash was going to come in-between”. Mrs Diego tried to coax her daughter.

Literally, you’d think she was consoling her daughter; but in reality, she was sending words to Santiago.

The police officers stood and listened to their conversation. They were glad the conversation had shifted from them to the Diego’s. They do not want to be involved when the rich pick a quarrel with each other.

Jasper Milo had been listening and shook his head. He stood holding President Axel’s portfolio. Santiago raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Immediately Jasper Milo came forward and opened the laptop. A video played before them.

CEO Diego’s Lip twitched when he saw the video before him. It was Eve Diego who first started a quarrel by tripping Aurora. Aurora only retaliated by hitting her.

He has lost face not before Santiago alone but also before these officers and the staff of Axel group.

When Mrs Diego saw the video too, she knew her daughter was wrong. However, she will have to scold her later but now, she has to give an excuse for her. “Eve Diego didn’t trip her intentionally, Aurora shouldn’t have taken it too far and hit her so badly” .

Aurora felt her heartbeat almost skip. This woman is so unreasonable, Such a lame excuse for her daughter’s ruthlessness? Since she has chosen to be shameless, she will have no other option left but to play along with her.

“What I did to Eve Diego was not intentional either. You shouldn’t have taken it too far by bothering the officers and thereby disrupting our work ma’am” .

Mrs Diego was very angry and almost puked out blood . Her neck veins were visible as she wished she could strangle Aurora.

It seemed she had underestimated this stinking girl. She dared to lash her with her tongue?. She must teach her a lesson someday.

Eve Diego nails pierced her palm. How can she forget something so vital as the surveillance camera. How much embarrassment she had caused her parents. Gush, she lost to Aurora.

“I’ve always held you in high esteem as a man who doesn’t take rash decisions, CEO Diego, don’t let me think otherwise of you”Santiago said as each of his words were like a hammer hitting Caden Diego’s heart.

He blinked several times and felt highly embarrassed. If he had known that it was his daughter who started a quarrel, he would not have belittled himself to come over here with the police despite his busy schedule.

“I am sorry, President Axel. I didn’t know it was my daughter’s fault”. Caden Diego apologized.

But before his words were ever completed, Santiago and Aurora had walked away. Behind them was Jasper Milo as he strode into the office.

Officer Alexander was inwardly delighted. Outwardly, he put on an unhappy face and grumbled ” Sir, next time before you invite the police, make sure there are no flaws. We are too busy to waste time on unnecessary childish fights” he turned and walked away with his colleagues.

Caden Diego stood there stupefied. He looked around and saw some secretaries staring at them. He took some large strides into the elevator.

When he got out of the company into his car, he scolded Eve and swore never to be involved in her war with Aurora over Santiago again. He didn’t want to come but Tola had begged him to come along with them to show Santiago how important Eve was to them.

Aurora sat on her desk unable to think or say anything. She blinked and licked her lips. He really defended her before the Diego’s .

He’s not worried about what his mother or grandfather would say when the winds of what happened this morning gets to them. She raised her head to glance at him. Their eyes met and Santiago gave her a faint smile with the corner of his lips.

Anna had gone to the hospital with Julian Brabra to see a gynecologist. He had told them that the baby was due to be born any moment from two weeks time. Everything else was alright. Before leaving, he equally advised Anna to pay attention to her diets.

Scan had revealed that it’s a boy that Anna was carrying. Julian Brabra was happy. He was going to be a father soon.

Their wedding took place exactly a month after they obtained the certificate from the bureau. All the wedding expenses down to the necktie that Julian Brabra wore was sponsored by Anna’s parents.

Anna sat in the waiting room while Julian Brabra went to get her some Supplements. Anna looked at her protruded belly and smiled. She touched it, caressing it. Whose child was this baby she was carrying?. Was it really Julian Brabra’s or Tate Owen’s?

She was Tate Owen’s girlfriend until she went to her father to help Aurora’s boyfriend get a job. When her father met Julian Brabra, he immediately liked him. He gave Julian Brabra a condition that he must marry his daughter Anna.

Initially, Julian Brabra refused but when Anna’s father gave him promises of making him a minister with some great benefits from being a son in law to him. Julian Brabra’s love for Aurora wavered and he Succumbed.

On the night of Julian Brabra’s welcome party, at the instructions of her father, Anna made Julian Brabra drunk by drugging his drink. She took him to an already prepared room. And made love to him.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Before Julian Brabra would wake up and become sober, Anna took a bottle her father had given her and poured its contents on the bed spread. As expected of what her father told her, it looked exactly like blood. She smiled and disposed of the bottle carefully. She lay down gently beside Julian Brabra covering them both with a quilt.

” Let’s go darling” Julian Brabra’s voice brought her out of her thoughts. She looked up at the smiling face of Julian Brabra and extended her hand to him.

He held her up and put his hand around her waist as they both went out. She was happy with Julian Brabra. Her father was right about one thing, that Julian Brabra was a good man.

As they stepped out of the hospital, a man was coming in. He wore jeans and a polo with a Sunshade spectacle.

When he saw Anna, the sight of her brought him to an abrupt halt. Anna Suddenly felt uncomfortable and raised her head up. Then their eyes met. When she saw him, she shivered and felt a hot drop of pea in her panties…
