Chapter 35
Santiago went into his car. He was not getting any meaningful evidence to nail Eve Diego. He had checked the street surveillance cameras but they were already deleted.
Even if Eve Diego transferred money to Larry Tom’s account, that’s not enough evidence. There’s no crime to that after all Larry Tom was CEO Diego trusted bodyguard.
But what can one say to the sudden disappearance of his family? One thing was quite certain, Larry Tom was not dead!.
Larry Tom was not dead, Aurora didn’t have an abortion and his mother was not poisoned. But Aurora went to jail and Suddenly disappeared. What a puzzle.
If ever, he sets his eyes on that Larry of a rascal, he will rift his flesh off his bones.
He still loves Aurora very much. All he did to her was to vent his anger. It hurts him more now when he thinks about all he had done to her than how he felt hurt when he had thought Aurora aborted his baby.
Santiago got home and quietly went to his study. He didn’t have his dinner but kept drinking alcohol. His complexion became red but he couldn’t bring himself to stop, but kept drinking until he became totally drunk. He couldn’t think of a better way to make him forget his miserable state.
He staggered to the bathroom and slept off in the bath. He only woke up when the temperature of the water became too cold to his skin.
When he got out of the bath, he dragged himself and lay down on the bed
All the servants in his Villa knew that their master was not himself anymore. They wish Miss Aurora could come and save him from his misery.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Some days later, Aurora decided to call her mother (Millie Logan). The news of her disappearance must have gotten to her and Grey. She may not have been her birth mother, but she had adopted and gave her a home. She had treated her as if she was her real daughter.
Her grandparents had told her they wanted to compensate Millie Logan and thanked her for her care and Support to their daughter.
But she told them it was not yet time for that. Because she might still be a wanted criminal in Florence City.
In order not to make her mother and Grey worry themselves about her whereabouts she needs to place a call across to them secretly.
Her previous phone was left behind but she had gotten a new one. She logged into her email and found Grey’s number. Her phone memory was linked to her email and alot of her saved documents and files can be retrieved via her email.
The call soon got through and she heard her brother’s voice. “Hello, hello” Grey spoke after answering the phone.
The number was an unfamiliar one and he waited for the person on the other end to reply to his greeting.
Aurora hesitated before saying”Grey!”. Grey stood up in a hurry.
That voice cannot be mistaken. This was his sister’s voice, no doubt this was Aurora’s voice. He was certain about it.
Millie Logan saw how suddenly her son stood up with his hand holding the phone to his ear. She quickly went over to him and snatched the phone. It seems her daughter was the one on the other side.
“Hello, Aurora my Child, is that you?” Millie Logan asked. She was agitating.
Her eyes were wide open as her heart beat increased beyond the normal 72 times per minute.
“Mum” Aurora said as her voice became choked. Tears were running down her cheeks. She Suddenly couldn’t say anything more.
Millie Logan started her own version of tears. Her daughter had called. She knew she was going to call. Aurora had always been a very sensible girl.
Each knows the other was crying on the other end of the phone. Grey couldn’t be patient anymore, he collected the phone from his mother “sister Aurora, are you ok? Were you hurt, where are you? Am coming right away to see you. Just tell me where you are?”
Millie Logan collected the phone back from Grey grumbling “silly boy”.
She sniffed and tried to be calm before asking Aurora “Where are you?”.
“Am fine mum, I don’t want you to get worried unnecessarily” Aurora’s voice was calm over the phone. She would have wanted to tell them about her escape and where she was but she doesn’t want to talk too much in order not to give out too much information about herself.
The government of Florence City might still be out to hunt her. Who knows they might wire taped all incoming calls of her loved ones.
She might have become a member of the family of the former President of St Petersburg, but they (Millie Logan and Grey) were still in Florence City . She doesn’t want to get them into trouble.
Assuring her mum that she’s fine, she promised to call them again some other time and ended the call.
Millie Logan had a smile on her face. This single call she received from her daughter had changed her mood. It worked like a medicine.
Millie Logan ate and her pale complexion returned to normal within a few hours.
Grey was relieved. His sister had finally cleared their fear and worries. When everything is settled, Aurora will come back home.
Millie Logan told her Son to keep pretending when the police came around. That was Aurora’s instructions to her.
Such a good girl, still worried about their safety . It’s a fortune accumulated from her previous life to have gotten a daughter like Aurora.
