Tales Of Love

Santiago had ordered her to go and drink the cup of juice she served him otherwise he would make her and her entire damn family disappear forever from Florence City.

She fell down and pleaded but Santiago held her by the collar and sprang her up on her feet.

She stood up and walked hurriedly, almost stumbling. She wiped her tears, what had she gotten herself into? Sometimes, one has to turn a blind eye to the happenings around her in order to live a quiet peaceful life.

As she approached the table that Santiago had sat, collecting the glass as if she was doing her job, she walked toward the corridor .

Santiago had told her he would be in the corridor watching her. She gulped down the juice and stared at Santiago as he walked past her with a poker face.

Few minutes later, she started feeling drunk and dizzy. She knew at once that it was the effect of the drug in the juice she had drunk.

Unknown to her, Santiago had been watching her closely with the help of his assistant, Jasper Milo.

As soon as he saw her behaving in an odd manner, Jasper informed Santiago of his observation and the latter sent a bodyguard to be trailing her.

Aurora went to the dressing room and changed her clothes, she had to leave now before she was seen misbehaving.

She walked out, carrying her bag. Her legs were heavy and she felt like she was fainting. Passing through the backdoor, she went out and waved at a taxi approaching. She remembered the taxi stopped and she muttered “Hospital ple.. a.. se..” before fainting.

She woke up the next day, opened her eyes, she saw the sun rays reflecting through the window blinds.

She looked around and found she’s not in her room, at her mom’s place and this place was definitely not a hospital.

The room appeared exquisite. The king bed was big enough to accommodate three types of girls with Aurora’s size.

From the decorations in the room, and the beautiful ceiling, the floor and even the wall decorations, she concluded that the room was definitely a hotel room.

But how did she get there? Aurora asked her numb mind.

She tried to stand up, but felt her waist sore and her legs painful. Wondering what was wrong and the unfamiliar room she found herself, she removed the quilt quickly but saw that she was naked, she froze.

What had happened to her? had someone taken advantage of her last night when she fainted? She remembered all that happened the previous night until when she fainted but knew nothing else that happened.

She started crying silently. She looked around and saw her handbag, not tampered with. Reaching inside, she brought out her phone and saw multiple missed calls from her mother and brother and that made her sobbed the most .

What was she going to tell her mother ? And who was it that took her for the first time, where on earth is she now, who’s house is this? There are so many questions she needs answers to right now.

She called her mother’s number and quickly the call got connected. She told her mother not to worry about her that she’s fine.

She only did overtime to earn more money for her brother’s school fees. Her mother believed her and scolded her for making her worry unnecessarily since she didn’t inform her earlier.

She got up gently and went to take a bath. As she looked around for her dress, she saw a bag at the foot of the bed. She opened it and saw a new pair of clothes, a pair of pants and a bra.

Judging from its look, it was her size. The scoundrel must have had a proper look of her body, to know her exact size.

She dressed up quickly and picked up her handbag to go when she saw a complimentary card of Mr Santiago Axel.

She picked it and threw it into the waste bin and stepped out of the room. When she got to the sitting room, the whole house was empty, she went out quickly and hailed a taxi to ‘hotel de Pacific’ where she worked.

As soon as she stepped into the hotel, she was greeted by a scene that terrified her. All the staff were gathered together and some policemen were there who were talking to the manager. She didn’t know why she felt something terrible had happened.

As she walked closer, the manager saw her and pointed at her ”Here she comes, officers take her away for interrogation” the manager said without a hint of sympathy for her.

Take her away for interrogation? What had she done to warrant her being arrested? she opened her mouth and closed them again. She wanted to say something, but her words were choked in her throat.

”You are Miss Aurora Logan I guess?” one of the police officers asked her. She nods her head like a hen trying to pick grains.

”Then you’ll have to come along with us for interrogation” the officer added.

”But I haven’t done anything to be arrested for, officer” Aurora tried to justify herself .

”That can only be ascertained after the investigation” the officer became impatient to lead her away.

Tears rolled down her cheeks. She’s going to the police station without even knowing what her crime was.

She was led out of the hotel when the manager came closer to her and whispered ”Don’t bother coming back if ever you were bailed” and walked away.

She was taken to the police station, but before the interrogation started, she was asked to go.

She stood there puzzled, she should go. Had she been found innocent before the interrogation ever started?.

While she was still in a daze, the officer added ”you’ve been bailed. you should be grateful to Mr Axel.

Mr Axel? Is he the same person as Santiago Axel, whose complimentary card she had seen earlier today?Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Aurora was full of thoughts as she walked out of the police station. She took a taxi and went home. She lost her job but was grateful that she was not detained at the police station.

When she alighted from the taxi, she went closer to their apartment but soon started hearing noises. She tried to pick the words in the noise but only heard her mother screams. Hurrying her steps, she walked in:
