Chapter 26
After Santiago left, the few guests present also decided to leave after all they were there to witness and cheered the lovers. But since one of the lovers had left, leaving his fiancee behind. They had nothing else to witness and went away.
One of the bodyguards carried Eve Diego and sent her to the hospital.
It was all Aurora’s fault, if she hadn’t gotten her miserable self involved with Santiago, he would have been engaged with her at his grandfather’s birthday.
After Mario’s wife left, Eli stared at the face of the girl sleeping peacefully on the bed. She’s the spitting image of her lady mother.
She’s the younger version of Mia, his sister. When he saw her picture on the net earlier today, he knew at once that she was his niece.
Eli sat down beside her on the bed. He closed his eyes momentarily and thought how fast and successful his plans had worked. He had called Mario back an hour after he left.
He promised to pay him half a million dollars if he agrees to help him execute a plan.
They had planned and set out as soon as it was dark.
Mario’s car was to develop a fault not far away from the path leading to the prison. He had disguised himself as an old clergy.
As the jailer was going to take over for the evening shift, She saw an old clergyman waving for her to stop. She took pity on him and stopped. She alighted from her car and went to see if she could be of any help. That was when Eli slipped into the car trunk and stayed there.
When she finally drove into the parking lot, she locked the car and went away. Eli used a sharp metal and opened the trunk from within.
He stepped out and waited until the securities went into their office to handover . Eli used the opportunity and got into the dressing room and changed into a security uniform. He had his waist purse and his pistol hidden.
He strolled out and went to check on the prisoners. But didn’t find Aurora among them. He was contemplating on what to do next when he saw the jailer dragging Aurora away.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
He saw her and felt emotional. He followed far behind.
Quickly, he surveyed the environs and saw a small gate at the extreme end of the prison. He went into the staff rest room and made a call to Mario.
At the time agreed, Eli went to the transformer and removed the fuse and the whole of the prison went dark. He then went straight to the confinement.
Next day, Aurora slowly opened her eyes…
When Aurora opened her eyes, the sun had risen. She felt her body Supple and where she’s laying soft. She sat up and looked at the beautiful designs on the wall.
Where is she? She was taken to the confinement for refusing to wash the toilet. She remembered that there was no bed and she lay down on the floor. She looked at herself and saw that she was no longer in her prison clothes.
She stood up and looked outside the window. Was she dreaming? If it’s a dream, she doesn’t feel like waking up again. She saw people going about their normal daily activities.
Looking at the busy nature of the people out there, she remembered when she still had her freedom. How she longed to be a free citizen again.
The memory of all that had happened to her flashed through her mind. Her abandonment from her family and loved ones.
The scandal associated with her name and the harsh treatment at the hands of other inmates and the jailers. But none of them could be compared to what Santiago said about her. Her eyes became moist.
How did she get here? Who rescued her from the prison?. She was hungry and needed food but she did not dare step out. While she was lost in her thoughts, the door opened and Eli Rowan walked him with breakfast.
“Aurora” he called her. He entered for a few seconds and the girl didn’t even know someone entered. She stood with her back to him gazing outside the window.
