CHAPTER 51

Hector tried to look at Aurora only to be embarrassed and shy off, what was he thinking? She wasn't an object that he could possess......no she was his angelic princess. Tousled disheveled hair strands that were the doings of his callused fingers peaked from here and there somewhat teasingly, winking at the man as they stood straight on Aurora's scalp as if saying- 'pet us! love us! for god's sake play with us!'
Hector tried hard to look at the painting behind Aurora who was sitting somewhat dumbstruck, in a daze. When her brown silk strands still refused to sleep, Hector swiped his palm on Aurora's head to make her somewhat nuzzle into his hold. The man was going to have a mini heartattack with how adorable she was yet soon the office door was thrown open, breaking the moment.
"Brother!" Flinching to the sudden sound, the woman looked at the person who had interrupted her moment in somewhat a mixed emotion of annoyance and hatred. Glazed chocolate pools stared deep into the blue irises of the man who stood at the door startled as Hector for the first time had a woman near him.
Xandar Asis who was a little drunk, at first was trying to observe Aurora to make a judgment yet glancing in those unwavering resilient irises which had not an ounce of emotion just cold indifference it enticed his hunting instinct......dewy cheeks that were glowing even in darkness with those pouty red lips, she was in all the sense of the world truly magnificent but it somehow appeared that he had seen those irises before.
"My apologies looks like there is a guest, myself Xander-" The eye contact was too bland to be considered even having a complete look from Aurora's side yet when Hector saw Xander's face varying shades of emotions there was a deep feral rage in his heart.
"I don't remember inviting you today." The Hector, Xander had come to know after all these years was silent and calm, for all these years he had never even raised his voice and had given up even his empire to Xander. There was nothing he was possessive about- not his name, not his money, and neither the people.
He was a lifeless shadow that only seemed to follow along, existing and not living. Xander was never pleased with such yet had never imagined that there would come such a day when he would confront him, his brother for someone. If it were normal circumstances he might have let it be but he was not in his right state of mind after having so many drinks, although he was not intoxicated heavily yet it was still making him hazy and sprouting toxic words.
The atmosphere that was intense, foreboding with a feeling of suffocation and chaos to no ends made Aurora sigh and hold the silver-eyed males pinky finger and look up at him as if asking him to backdown. Those eyes that were soft and encouraging when met Hector's melted his rage like steam vaporizing.
"Nice to meet you Mr Xander, my name is Aurora and I am Hector's new secretary." The masculine artist noticed how she refused to call Xander with his patronym 'Asis' and he understood it was because she remembered how much he hated that name yet when she used formal speech it made invisible barriers between her and Xander making him very pleased.

Complex emotions
Three people in a room had such a complicated entanglement that it was somewhat bizarre. Hector sent Aurora home immediately after her short introduction that felt as if saying- 'This is the limit that our conversation can go, you are a very nice person and I am a good person as well so lets go our own separate ways. Its not that I am blind to your interest in me but it makes me feel uncomfortable."
Hector did not felt it yet Xander who now sat in the chair looking at the ceiling silently and even all other servants in the house felt an incomprehensible pressure under the presence of the beautiful woman, like she commanded them even without uttering a single syllable.
But when she was with Hector those eyes softened and there was a never seen innocence in them, when she was with him it was as if the world was not there and the constant battle that she fought with herself stopped and the pressure was lightened to nothingness, so other than the silver eyes that saw only good, even Xander looked at Aurora and found out that there was a darkness in those irises screaming danger and a never-ending abyss.
"Is she to your liking?" When there was no answer Xander continued.
"Ofcourse she is an exquisite thing but there are thousands of them but if it's about those curves lord-"
"XANDER!" In a moment the man who was trying to just endure thinking that Xander was always as such had held the collar of the drunken man and thrown a fist with full power, one followed with another and again ,at that moment he wished to murder him in cold blood. Eyes darkening to pitch black, Hector seethed not even showing any remorse when Xander laughed like a maniac after having a bloody nose.
"So this is how it will be....you are threatening your brother for a woman? Who is she to control you like this?"
I just said some words and you lose control as such." When Hector could not take the conversation any longer he got up to leave the room, Xander had ruined a lot of things for him but to talk about his Aurora......
"When you lose control and get so furious like this to even lose your sanity... Hector how are you any different than Gregory Asis then?"
