Tales Of Love

Eve Diego kept her phone in her purse and went back to the party. The party had begun and Santiago was at the podium cheering the guests. Santiago wished his grandfather a happy birthday wishing him ten thousand years more.

Next he introduced his Sister Mira. She walked up to him and waved at everyone present. She will be 21 by July. She’s a little fairer than Santiago with chubby cheeks. She wore short hair and looked a bit like Santiago.

Aurora was standing amidst the guest when she saw Eve Diego walk back and stand beside her mother. They both exchanged glances before Eve Diego gave a slight nod.

Aurora narrowed her brows . Looks like Eve Diego and her mother are up to something mischievous.

Soon Aurora’s phone started ringing. She looked at Santiago and saw he was still introducing every single guest present. Feeling that the venue was noisy, she went out.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

When she got outside, she looked at the caller’s ID and saw it was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated first before deciding whether to answer the phone or not.

As soon as she did, a hoarse voice was heard at the other side ” check the video” and ended the call.

Check the video, what video? How weird. She shrugged and thought of going back to the party, when she heard a ‘pep’ sound on her phone. Then she looked at the phone’s screen, and a video popped up.

She opened it and froze when she saw the content of the video. She started shivering as beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She became confused and her breathing became irregular as she contemplated on what the person wanted from her.

In her puzzled state, her phone started ringing again. She looked at it and saw it was the same number that sent her the video. Quickly, she picked it ” what do you want from me? Don’t you dare….”

“Shut up and follow my orders….” the caller interrupted her.

Palmer Axel was in the midst of her friends who had come to the party at her invitation when one of the servants came close to her and whispered something to her.

Palmer narrowed her brows at the servant’s words before excusing herself.

She went to her room and saw a brown envelope addressed to her. She picked it up and tore it. What she saw almost made her heartbeat skip.

Aurora’s photos were inside attached to a medical report. The report gave details of an abortion Aurora had two days ago.

The sender of the mail addressed himself as a concerned citizen. Who felt Aurora had an ulterior motive staying beside Santiago.

The envelope contains other information about Aurora’s adoption. It contains details of how Aurora was found at the entrance of the orphanage many years ago. And how Millie Logan adopted her at her retirement.

The sender finally concluded that Aurora was not fit to be the young madam of the Axel family.

Palmer saw and read the content of the mail, she clenched her first. Such a low life girl had the enforntery to abort her grandchild.

She will make her pay. She was going to throw her out right away and expose her before everyone present.

Grandpa Axel had given a brief welcome speech and everyone was welcome to the floor to dance with him.

Santiago looked around for Aurora but couldn’t find her. He seemed a little worried when his sister held him, inviting him for a dance.

He smiled and didn’t refuse her. But he kept looking over Mira’s head among the guests for Aurora.

Palmer took a sip of water from her bedside jug to calm herself before stepping out.

She went to the dancing guests but didn’t find Aurora. She went to Santiago who was dancing with a worried expression and asked him about Aurora.

As Santiago was about to answer they heard a gunshot. Everyone became frightened as the guests all sought a hiding place.

A man dragged himself to the view of everyone as they heard another gun shot at him. He was bleeding, his heart and back had been shot. He raised his hand and pointed at Palmer. ” she… she…” he couldn’t continue as he started feeling weak and dizzy.

Eyes turned in the direction where the bullet came from. But the person they saw was who Santiago least expected to be.

Aurora stood there with a gun in her hand. She looked fierce without a bit of remorse.

There was silence as they all stared at Aurora. She threw her gun down on the dead man and her next words were infuriating ” Call the police!”.

Before she ever finished making her sentence, she was overpowered by the Security who held her hands to the back.

The Axel family stood speechless.

They had invited reporters and journalists. Definitely what happened here was going to be a hot headline the next day.

“Ambulance” it was Caden Diego who spoke. Larry Tom had been his bodyguard for years but didn’t know he was going to die at the hands of Aurora.

While the security were still holding Aurora she looked at Eve Diego who’s lips gave a smirk as she rolled her eyes at Aurora.

Immediately Aurora knew who had set her up. She swore to herself to repay this debt to Eve Diego If ever she came out of jail.

Palmer Suddenly started coughing violently and soon she was puking out blood. Her breathing became difficult.

“Mum!” Mira ran to her mother. The brown envelope fell off Palmer’s hand and littered the floor.

Almost everyone saw the information on those papers. Santiago took a step forward to look down at the littered papers.

The first that got his attention was the abortion report. Aurora had an abortion two days ago?

He remembered she left the office early and didn’t return. And the next day, she was absent from work with the excuse that she was preparing for a surprise on his grandfather’s birthday.

Was this the surprise? Santiago’s quietness was sending a chilling aura. His palm formed into a fist and his eyes seemed to have gone red.

Mira was scared, she went and pulled Aurora’s hair dragging it “what have you done to my mum?”. Pulling her hair violently.

Aurora was hurting but she endured it. She felt her scalp burning as if her hair was going to be pulled off her head.

She had to follow the orders given to her if she wanted to see her family safe. “Simple, I poisoned her water” Aurora replied.
