Chapter 120
When they got into the master bedroom. Santiago sat Aurora down on the sofa and told her to get prepared, tomorrow they were obtaining their marriage certificate at the bureau.
Aurora was speechless. Why a Sudden decision “Didn’t you say earlier that I should inform my mother first?” Aurora questioned. She hadn’t even told her mother and he had chosen the very next day already.
“Aunt had no objection, Aurora,” Santiago replied. Aurora was taken aback. Had Santiago gone to see her mother? He had even discussed it with her and her mother had also seconded? No wonder he seemed cheerful when he returned from where he went.
“Even if my mum does not object to it, I am not emotionally ready to be a bride tomorrow” Aurora declared. She pouted her lips and looked at Santiago with a feigned annoyance.
“Please Aurora. Be my bride and marry me tomorrow. Don’t you get worried for the kids?” Santiago pleaded and held Aurora’s hands. He coaxed her telling her that the kids need a complete home, they needed both of their parents by their side.
After a long persuasion, Aurora agreed. Santiago was overwhelmed. Looks like his return to his country was going to be sooner than he expected.
That right, Mia contacted a bridal company and selected a beautiful wedding dress for Aurora. She was going to present it to Aurora first thing tomorrow morning as her wedding present. She slept that night satisfied and happy.
That evening, when she left her parents mansion she didn’t know, the evening would end so beautifully. That night, Mia sent a series of messages to Santiago and Santiago replied all accordingly without Aurora’s knowledge.
Next morning, when Aurora woke-up, the sun rays reflecting the room were blinding her eyes. She blinked several times before sitting up. She looked at the room before remembering that today was her wedding with Santiago.
But on a closer look, she realized this is not Santiago’s room. Where is she? Didn’t she sleep in the master bedroom? She stood up and went into the bathroom. Took her shower and dressed up before coming out.
She had a lot to do that morning, like ordering the wedding dress and other preparations before heading to the bureau.
But as soon as she stepped out, she realized she was in her mother’s mansion. She squinted, when did she get here? Oh, Santiago had probably brought her here while sleeping.
She came downstairs and saw her mother dishing out orders to the servants “mum!” she called out. Mia turned and smiled broadly at Aurora. “Morning sweetheart” She replied and walked to Aurora. Pulled her into her arms and then cupped her face in her palms.
“Congratulations to the soon to be bride. You’ve been a gift to the unworthy me Aurora. And this day, I bless you Aurora. May your life be filled with happiness and plenty of joy and satisfaction” Mia happily proclaimed as she stared at those eyes that looked very much like Caden’s.
“Thank you mum” Aurora smiled and embraced her mother. They both started sobbing silently. It was obviously a feeling of happiness that sprouted out their tears. “How did I get here mum?” Aurora asked, pulling away from the embrace.
“Ha-ha you can guess the one who’s capable right?” Mia left her to find her own answers. “Where’s Sam and Samantha?” Mia sighed with a smirk. “What can I do now, when their father wouldn’t even let them out of his sight”. They both chuckled and knew that Santiago had taken possession of his children.
Soon Mia told Aurora to get dressed. They will be getting married in the next two hours. Aurora was Surprised that the Supposed simple marriage had been turned into something elaborate by Mia.
The wedding dress Mia got for Aurora within just a few hours cost over a million dollars. When Aurora finished dressing, she looked like a princess. Santiago didn’t call Aurora at all, only kept communicating with Mia.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Thirty minutes to the time, Mile arrived in company of his parents, and the entire Rowan’s family. Aurora was Surprised when she saw they all came in except Eli . Mia had deliberately not called him nor invited him.
“Grandfather, grandma!” Aurora called out excitedly, she went to her grandfather and threw herself at him. She started sobbing again. “I love you Aurora. You must always remember that your place in my heart can never be occupied by someone else” Luke Rowan declared.
“How can you say you love Aurora using the first person pronoun. Do you think you love her more than I do?” Aurora’s grandmother turned to her husband in feigned annoyance.
