CHAPTER 55

She had brought a variety of cakes for him. From blueberry to vanila, there were those sweet ones along with a batch of some of those that had a mixture of flavors. Aurora was happy to meet Ares, so much so that she hummed in delight and when he said that he was waiting to know who was the person she liked, she felt like they were kids again, sharing there small little secrets.
'Your bestfriend....your bestfriend is a fairy.' A seventeen-year-old Ares had said that to her, all those years ago and then had blushed when she raised an eyebrow. It was so surreal that Rose and him were going to get married. They were inseparable since childhood but to be together as a couple...she was so happy.
While Aurora was dropped off to her office from the car, Ares smiled holding her hand.
"Your boyfriend must prove himself first Aurora, I will not be giving out my precious sister to just anyone." They laughed for a moment before Aurora went inside the building.
As soon as the frail figure disappeared, the smile on Ares's face too was long gone replaced by rage.
"Boss, shall we-"
"That black mercedez is following us since the beginning, take other soldiers with you and see who is in it. I need the information in half an hour." While Ares was raged there was another person who was worried.
Myriad of colorful photos distracted Hector from his artwork, it was of utmost importance to him since there was an exhibition in the upcoming week and by then atleast ten of his sculptures must be ready to be presented.
Sighing in frustration, the male did not even care when tiny snowflake-like pieces of clay struck from his silky hair and picked up the phone. There were three of them and after having a glance it made his blood run cold. The first was Aurora sitting with a person laughing in a cafe followed by two others where it showed her embracing the man. Xander not only sent those images yet also did not forgot to put up a caption- 'see you aren't her only one.'
'Where are you?' The text was sent in a hurry to Aurora's phone and in reply an address popped up in the message box.

"D-Did you feel uncomfortable?" Aurora covered her face with both her palms not daring to look up, her cheeks were on fire while her body trembled. She was simply talking to her secretary about an important deal in Germany when a certain someone barged in like a little puppy wagging his tail and embraced her, she did not even had the time to utter a single word when he had held her up in his arms.
She tried to forgot what all transpired yet it played in her mind again and again.
The way Selina, her secretary widened her eyes before both of her hands made their way to her heart.
"Oh my...one true love, how hard it must be to wait so long, ma'am works so long so sir had to wait the entire day"
WAIT FOR WHAT?!
Hector did not cared about anything as his pitiful expression went even more melancholic as he with her in his hold made their way out of the office cubicle. Each of the staff members tried to have a peek from behind their desks at what was happening before they even threw away all the pretenses and a murmur of chorusing.....
'finally! finally our miss has a life out of these four walls'
'how cute'
'I want a man like that too'
'We must celebrate this event.'
What were those foolish people celebrating then? Aurora thought getting even more embarrassed.
Hector took her inside his car and settled her on his lap, holding onto her and refusing to let go like a child.
"I-I am so sorry, you can punish me, however...b-but I could not wait to get to you." Silver irises gleamed in evening hues of cyan as those long lashes fluttered gently before he looked up at her.
"You have kissed me.....so...so now you have to take responsibility." The words were shy yet with a seductive charm as Aurora could not stop sinking her teeth into the bottom lip.
"Wait! I-When did I refuse to take responsibility....no no I mean when did I say that I don't like you...I mean that does not mean that I am confessing....w-well that means."
"Its okay, Aurora.....I love you too." Aurora melted at that sweet confession.
Hector took out his phone showing Aurora the photos he had received from Xander making her anger spike before it was brought down from a thought.
"He is my-
"I don't need you to explain......well.....these photos might be you with your family member or friend. It is really absurd to judge you for having friends just because I love you...just..." Just that it made him jealous and the way she smiled...how can someone be so precious.
"He is my brother, Ares." Hector sighed.
"Even so.....I am still jealous, you must not be so adorable from now onwards. It makes my heart beat like crazy." Never in the entire world did anyone dare call the Mafia empress adorable but for Hector, If she smiled at him like that, he might as well die from a heart-attack with a satisfied face. He could not say that he wasn't jealous of that person in the image since if it was his will, he would not let Aurora keep her feet on the floor, but he loved her so then he must never stop her from anything that made her happy.
While Aurora was giggling with joy she was not aware that Xander stalking her was long given up upon by Hector. If he had courage to go after the person he loved, Hector may as well go against him and take back everything that was his originally but for now....
"Aurora please be my girlfriend."
