Tales Of Love

Aurora sat on her king sized bed and smiled affectionately to Millie Logan, sitting opposite her on a sofa.

This woman was the mother she grew up knowing. She had loved, cared and raised her like a biological mother would.

Had her background not being dugged out, no one would have known she was not her birth mother besides the people who worked at the orphanage when she was a baby.

She remembered how this woman spent her days sitting by her bedside and cared for her delicately like a new born baby when she was recovering in the hospital.

That time when she had an accident after Julian Brabra’s marriage to Anna. That accident that affected her pelvis. Thank goodness she had Millie Logan and Santiago at that time.

Those people stood and Supported her, gently nursing her back to health. She would forever be grateful to her and Grey for the rest of her life.

“Aurora dear” Millie Logan called her name affectionately. “I am happy that you found your real mother and you are now together with your family. But you know what, you’ll always be my daughter, my Aurora Logan” Millie Logan said as her voice became shaky and her eyes moist.

Aurora became emotional and blinked her eyes to control the tears threatening their way down.

Millie Logan was right, she was her Aurora Logan and to her, she will always regard her as mum. Mia Rowan was her birth mother but Millie Logan was her foster mother, the one who raised her and inculcated good virtues into her.

The one who gave her name and a family, who filled her childhood with pleasant memories of her warmth. “You’ll always be my mother and I will forever remain grateful for your upbringing” Aurora chimed.

Aurora stood up and went to her on the sofa and instead of hugging her, she snuggled her head onto her shoulder.

Millie Logan seemed pleased with Aurora’s action and cleaned her tears with her index finger and smiled.

Millie Logan inhaled audibly and caressed her long hair that had fallen over her shoulders.

“Aurora, whatever happens, always remember that Santiago still loves you. He might have offended you in the past, but don’t allow past memories to soil future happiness”.

Millie Logan tried her best to sermonize Aurora. She told her how Santiago had helped clear her name from the roll of criminals and ex-convict. He had severed all business ties with Diego and requested that Caden Diego apologizes publicly to her whenever she’s found.

“Mum, it’s difficult for me to forget what Santiago called me back then. I tried erasing it off my memory but I just couldn’t” Aurora said with an unpleasant expression. She raised her head and looked away afraid that Millie Logan would see her tears.

“You’ll have to be deliberate about it. Make up your mind to let go. Santiago still loves you and I am sure you love him too.

Think about the kids and get along together. I am requesting you to think about what I said and stop blaming him or get annoyed with him” Millie Logan Coaxed Aurora.

“Time, time will sort everything out and put things in their proper place” Aurora concluded and gave Millie Logan a hug. They both remained glued in the hug and none had the slight intention of withdrawing.

The night passed peacefully and soon the daylight sprang out.

Millie Logan had arranged her luggage which seemed two times larger than the one she came with.

Grey was dressed and the servants took their luggage into the trunk. Grey raised Samantha up and swirled her around 360° before giving her a peck while the latter giggled happily.

Samantha likes it when she gets a kiss or a peck from an uncle. Sometimes Aurora feels she likes to flirt and wonders how she’ll cope with her when she becomes a teenager.

Finally, Grey set her down and squatted before the quiet charming Sam. “I’m really going to miss you buddy but I promise I will visit you guys again” Grey said and caressed his chubby cheeks.

They got into the car and the chauffeur drove them to the airport. Aurora accompanied them sitting beside Millie Logan while Grey sat in the front seat beside the chauffeur.

“Grey, stay a few more weeks in the Axel group and start getting yourself prepared for the post of a CEO very soon, Starlight holding is going to have its branch in Florence City” Aurora declared.

Starlight holdings will soon take over the Diego group in fact, they are buying over all the shareholders and directors. With the evidence Larry Tom has handed over, it will be easy to win them over.

“Really!” Grey exclaimed. He looked at Aurora from the rear mirror and gave her a thumbs up. “You’re my super sis, with you by my side, I’ll sleep with my two eyes closed,” Grey added and turned to blow her a kiss.

Aurora smiled and winked an eye at him. She was pleased that Grey liked her idea. Millie Logan smiled, turning to hold Aurora’s hand. They were going to miss one another but it’s not going to be long before they meet again.

Before parting with each other at the airport, Millie Logan held Aurora’s checks, cupping her face “Don’t forget what I told you yesterday, everyone deserves a second chance, give Santiago a chance again I beg you”. Aurora rolled her eyes before giving a nod. “Promised?” Millie Logan insisted.

Aurora turned a white eye.

Her mother {Mrs. Logan} wants her back with Santiago and seemed head bent on seeing it happen.

However, she also wants to be with him. But clearly wants to play with his emotions a little longer. “I promise mum” Aurora said and crossed her heart. Millie Logan chuckled and pulled Aurora to herself giving her a warm embrace.

As Mrs. Logan and Grey’s flight took off, another plane was landing with bodyguards at Santiago’s orders. They were driven to the Axel group where they were to wait for further instruction.

Aurora returned to the Starlight holding and held a conference with shareholders. They were all impressed by the intellectual speech and administrative strategy of the new CEO.

They were initially uncertain with the future of the company in the hands of a young female CEO. But after the meeting ended, they were convinced of being in safe hands.

Many of the older men and women shake hands with Aurora, congratulating her for her new post, saying it’s a well deserved honor.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Aurora smiled and courteously said she’s following in their footsteps. The few young masters in their midst, were captivated by her intellect as well as her beauty. They all wished to have her as their girlfriend.

By the time Aurora stepped out of the conference room, it was almost time for lunch. She walked briskly to her office while her assistant Wale Jones followed behind carrying the necessary files.

When Aurora stepped into her office, she was greeted with the sweet fragrance of a rose ? flower. Aurora went to her desk and saw a bouquet of red roses on her desk.
