TROUBLE IS ON THE WAY

**NICHOLAS'S POV**

What the fuck those ill-minded women have done to my precious Aurora? I want to destroy every single person who is responsible for the pain my girlfriend has to go through, but I will let her do the honor. Yes, Aurora will be the one to avenge everyone who has done wrong to her, and when that's happened I will be the one to clap in her victory.

"Do you want to complete your study?" I ask Aurora who gives me a look of surprise.

"What are you talking about?" She asks averting her gaze from me.

"You know very well what I am talking about." I reply sternly.
She heaves a sigh before looking at me with a sad expression.

"But that's not possible anymore. It's been so many years that I have to stop my study, moreover I don't even remember anything about my course so I don't think it will be great to start studying again." She answers calmly but I won't budge out of my decision.

"I am not taking any no from you. You are going to start your education again and if you need, I will help you with your study. Although I know a lot of colleges around here but still, I will talk to Arthur because he has more knowledge about the educational system here. So he will be the best person to recommend the best college for your admission. But till then, you have time to think, if you want to do your course online or you want to attend college." I can barely complete my sentence before she throws her arms around my neck making me stumble a little but I regain my balance before wrapping my arms around her waist breathing in her scent that has become a habit of mine.

"You are my savior, Nicholas." She mumbles in my neck making me smile.

"You are my savior too." I reply while kissing the side of her head. If it's possible then I will always keep her in my arms because she is the reason behind the feelings that have started to grow in my heart and for me, her happiness matters the most. From now on, I will make sure that no harm can touch her ever.

"Do you want to go home?" I ask without releasing her from my arms. She pulls away but keeps her arms around my neck. Suddenly she kisses me on the lips before running away from there leaving me in complete shock. I touch my lips feeling it's tingling from the touch of her lips before a smile takes over my face. I chuckle to myself because this is the first time of her to kiss me by herself. I run behind her and before she can reach the car I lift her off her feet from the back and spin her around making her burst into a fit of giggles.

I put her down when I feel she is struggling to breathe because of the laughing fit she is heaving. I turn her around however she is not looking at me instead she is staring at the ground.

"Why are you looking at the ground?" I ask her but she only shrugs her shoulders in response.

"Hmmm, so you can kiss me but can not look at my eyes properly. Why?" I ask making her look at me with a frown as if I have offended her.

"I didn't mean to kiss you. It's just happened." She replies as if she has done something wrong.

"Oh okay, then I think this non-thinking kiss should happen more from now on." Saying this I give her a wink earning a slight shove from her. I wrap my hand around her waist before we start walking towards the car to go home.

Throughout the car ride to her apartment, we talk about everything we can find. However, my mind is on those persons who are enjoying their lives without a care that they have stirred up a bad person like me. I wanted to scream, break things, kill anyone who would come in front of me the moment Aurora told me about her parents and Matthew's doing but I have refrained myself from doing anything harsh because I don't want to scare Aurora. She has suffered a lot already and she doesn't need to deal with my anger so I have kept my cool in front of her although I am fuming inside.

I don't know why I have become so protective of her, why this woman's well-being matter so much to me. However, the very moment I have seen her at Evelyn's engagement party, I have felt drawn to her. The deep pain in her eyes is enough for me to comprehend the smiling facade she has been wearing in front of others and how much care this innocent soul needs to be healed from the trauma. Although some people around her have tried very hard to kill her willpower and maybe they have succeeded a lot but I can feel that there is still a little bit of willpower has left in her. She just needs some motivation to break the barrier of the hallucination that she is worthless, that she doesn't stand any chance to win over her fear. Because I have belief in her that one day she will rise as a completely new person who will not be taking any shit from anyone. She will show the world that a woman can win against any difficulties that life throws at her.

**AURORA'S POV**

I smile at the customer while handling him the change before taking a deep breath. I haven't taken a break since I have come here in the morning, not even a lunch break. But now I am feeling like I can collapse anytime soon. So, I tell Parker to look at the bakery while I take half an hour of rest in my office.

The moment I sit on the couch, I let out a long yawn before lying down to take a short nap. But I don't think luck is in my favor because I feel like someone is calling out to me. So, I open my eyes while rubbing them with my palms to get the sleepiness away.

"Boss, the land owner is here and looking very angry." Claire says the moment I stand up from the couch.

"Mr. Campbell is here? But why?" I ask running my fingers through my messy hair to make them correct.

"Umm, I don't know about that but he is not alone here." Claire replies nervously which confused me but I decide to see myself exactly what's going on.

I reach where Mr. Campbell and I think his lawyer is standing. I have met his lawyer one time when I rent this place but I don't know what he is doing here today. Still, I smile at them but only get a glare in return from Mr. Campbell.

"Aurora, when I gave you this place, then I told you not to do any wrong thing, but it seems that you did not listen to me very well. So, now I want you to leave this place in one week or I will break the bakery." Shock will be a simple word to describe what I am feeling after hearing Mr. Campbell's words. Because I don't know what I have exactly done to make him angry.

"But what have I done? I have never delayed in paying monthly rent nor I am doing any illegal work here. So, why are you asking me to leave the place?" I ask worriedly.

"Miss Wilson, it has come to my client's knowledge that you are entertaining awful things in this bakery and that's all you get to know about the notice. Still, my client has decided to give you at least one week to pack everything so I will suggest you do that." Mr. Campbell's lawyer says and they both leave from there not giving me a chance to say anything.

I fall on my knees while clutching my hair tightly before tears dripped down my face. After all, why does God test me so much all the time?  When I have moved myself forward, then why am I being pushed back again? I don't know how much more I will be able to tolerate because now even the courage has started to give out.

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Parker asks while I wipe my tears with the back of my hand.

"I don't know." That's all I can reply because this is the truth.

I look around the bakery which I have built with utmost care but now I don't know if I can even keep it to myself. I have lost so much already and I can't lose this one too. I have to do something to save my hard work because if anything happens to my bakery, I won't be able to forgive myself.
