NOT FEELING WELL

**NICHOLAS'S POV**

I am calling Aurora for the past two hours but she is not receiving my calls which is why I can't even concentrate on the meeting. I am not even in San Francisco so I can't just go to her bakery or apartment to meet her. Not only that, I have removed the bodyguards around the bakery because she doesn't like it so I can not get access to exactly what's going on there.

"Is everything okay, Mr. Moretti?" Mr. Fishcher asks, my German client asks.

"Nothing too serious but I need to take a 5-minute break to call someone." I reply receiving a nod of approval from him.

I quickly exit the conference room and dial Jacob's number as I think he will know what's going on with Aurora. The phone rings for sometime before he picks up making me sigh in relief.

"Hey, man sorry if I am disturbing you but I want to ask if you know where Aurora is." I let out in hurry.

"You are not disturbing me at all. Actually, I am also trying to contact her but she is not picking up my call. So, I am going to her apartment to meet her because the bakery is closed by now." Jacob replies making me curse under breath because I have forgot that the time difference between Berlin and San Francisco is more than 9 hours.

"I forgot the time difference so I was thinking that she would be in the Bakery. By the way, please tell her to call me back soon or I won't be able to rest." I tell him.

"Yes, sure. You do your work and I will let you know soon." He replies.

I don't know why but I am having a feeling that Aurora is in problem and I should be with her. We didn't get to talk last night too because I was pretty tired after the non-stop meetings all day. So, I am trying to get in touch with her but now I think, I need to wait for Jacob's call. I just hope everything is alright there.

I walk inside the conference room and re-start the meeting from where I have left earlier. However, my mind is still focused on my phone in hope that Aurora or Jacob will call me soon. I try to give my full attention to the meeting as it will profit my company by 500 million but it seems my worry for my precious girlfriend is far serious than the meeting.

"It was nice meeting you, Mr. Moretti and I am happy to let you know that we are very excited to sign the deal." Mr. Fishcher remarks shaking my hand.

"I am glad to know your opinion, Mr. Fishcher and I hope we can keep on working together for a long time in the future too." I reply professionally.

When the clients walks out of the conference room, I lean back on my chair with a tired sigh. My head is feeling like it's going to split in two by the headache that is going on. so, I order Fiona to bring me Ibuprofen so that I can get rid of the headache. Soon enough Fiona brings a glass of Orange juice along with the medicine which I take quickly before asking her to go to her cabin as I want to be alone for some time.

When I know that there is no one except me in the room, I open my screen lock before going through the multiple photos I have taken of Aurora during our last date when I took her on a helicopter ride. My heart burst with immense happiness looking at her carefree smile which has become the most beautiful sight for me to witness but then I remember the talk we had about her parents. I pray to God that those nasty persons never comes in front me or I don't know what I will do to them. First her parents and then Matthew, none were good to her. They didn't even ask her for once what she wanted in her life, they just gave out orders after orders and poor her kept listening to them. I am happy that she has shown courage and moved forward in her life because she is a gem who should be protected which I am intended to do.

Suddenly, my phone starts ringing and the caller ID shows that Jacob is the one calling me. I pick up the call but all I can hear is the sound of heartbreaking cries of Aurora making me stand up quickly.

"Aurora, why are you crying?" I ask but she keeps crying.

"Please tell me what's wrong so that I can make it better." I let out in hope that she will reply.

"Nicholas, it's Jacob. I don't think we should talk over the phone. It will be better if you come back as soon as possible." Jacob says and I can hear the emergency in his tone.

"Okay, I am coming back in a few hours but till then please look after her." I say and disconnect the call before dialing the pilot's n umber to let him know that we are leaving asap. I quickly leave the conference room and walk inside Fiona's cabin to tell her that we are going back to san Francisco in a few hours.

**AURORA'S POV**

Jacob wipes my tear-stained face but I keep looking at the wall blankly. Because I don't know how I am going to solve the situation with the Bakery. I can't force Mr. Campbell to let me keep the bakery because he is the land owner but at the same time I can't see my hard work go in vain.

"I am going to get some water for you." I hear Jacob say before he leaves my side.

I have intentionally kept my phone in silent so that I don't need to pick up anyone's call. But I think that has backfired because Jacob is here and soon enough Nicholas will be here too. I really don't want to disturb any of them for my personal problem because they already have a lot of their own to solve.

"Here, drink this." Jacob says holding a glass of water near my lips which I try to avoid but then he glares at me so I drink a little bit of water.

"Do you want to eat something?" He asks in which I shake my head.

"Aurora, starving yourself won't solve the problem. God knows for long you are crying and I am damn sure you wouldn't have told me anything if I did come here by myself." He lets out angrily making me lower my head feeling guilty that I keep creating problematic situations for others.

"Stop blaming yourself." He snaps.

"How do you know that?" I ask or more like mutter.

"The self-loathing is written all over your face so I don't need you to tell me exactly what you are thinking." He replies sitting beside me on the bed.

"Nicholas will be here soon." He lets out after some time making me sigh.

"You shouldn't have told him to come back. He has very important work in Berlin, not only that he is supposed to go to Australia from there." I complain feeling bad that Nicholas has to leave his work for me.

"He is your boyfriend, not some unknown person to not be here in your tough time. Also, he can help you solve the problem." I shake my head not liking the idea of taking Nicholas's help.

"I am not taking his help. This is my problem and I will do everything of my own." I reply looking at him sternly.

"I have doubt he will listen to you. Okay, let's change the topic and tell me what you want to eat. Although I can't cook to save my life but I can order take out." He says nudging me on the shoulder while I smile at him half-heartedly.

"I really don't have any appetite to eat anything. So, you can order whatever you want to eat." I reply lying down on the bed.

"Nope, that's not gonna happen." He says tugging me on the arm making me whine but in the end, I sit down but not before glaring at him.

"Fine." I grumble under my breath while he looks at me with a triumph smirk.

He orders two large size Italian style pizzas from a famous restaurant which gets delivered in half an hour. While he eats an entire pizza by himself, I only eat two slices and put the rest in the refrigerator. He also tells me that he is staying over so I put necessary things in the guestroom before walking inside my bedroom to take a quick shower.

After the shower, I wear a loose t-shirt along with comfy pajama shorts and get into bed hoping that tomorrow will be a better day and I will be able to solve the situation with Mr. Campbell.
