Tales Of Love

He Stopped his car and hesitated whether he should go in or not. He didn’t get to say anything to Millie Logan the day she came to the company. It’s over a year and six months now.

She must have accepted her fate and forgotten about Aurora. But he can never forget about her. He stepped out of the car and went to press the doorbell.

Millie Logan opened the door and was Surprised to see Santiago. He looked thinner than he was the last time she saw him.

He was not looking as handsome as he used to be . He doesn’t look like the charming, vibrant and arrogant Santiago she used to know. He bowed his head and was staring at his car key. He couldn’t raise his head to look at Millie Logan.

Millie Logan sighed. She was Confused, whether to let him in or shut the door to his face. She wants to know if he was still the arrogant President Axel of the Axel group.

She compromised and stepped aside to Let him in. “Thank you” Santiago said and came in.

Millie Logan shut the door and motioned him to sit.

“Thank you Millie Logan. But I am not qualified to sit, not after what I did to your daughter” Santiago said. His voice was low. He was not in the habit of talking much but that day, he really had talked much.

Millie Logan stared at him. It seems he was sorry for his wrongs against Aurora. She wouldn’t have spared him a glance nor treated him well with her words if she hadn’t heard from Aurora all these months.

Grey walked out of his room and Saw Santiago. He paused his walk and stared at him.

He sluggishly walked closer and stood in front of him. He looked him up and down and sneered.

“What an august visitor. What do we owe this visit, President Axel?” Grey said with a tune of mockery.

Santiago said nothing but kept standing. He didn’t even look at Grey but just turned his face away.

Grey continued “Where is your humanness, you still have the audacity to come here and look my mother and I in the face? Aren’t you ashamed, after you kicked a baby into my sister, you then sent her to jail! You must find my sister for me!”

Santiago’s eyes became icy cold ” I swear on my life Grey, that I didn’t know Aurora was still having my baby inside of her. I only failed in not trusting her. It was too late when I realized it”

“Your failure has separated Aurora from her family. We don’t even know where she is now. And it’s all your fault” Grey snapped at him.

Grey was right Santiago thought. If he had really trusted her or even heard her out rather than taking an irrational decision, perhaps things wouldn’t have been this bad.

He wanted Aurora’s family to believe he was sorry in the way he treated her. He wants them to trust him so that they can put heads together with him to find Aurora.

Aurora is alive somewhere with his Child. He knows she’s out of danger but doesn’t know where he could find her. He needed the Support of her family and offering Grey a job will be his stepping stone to bringing them to his side.

“Aurora had helped you secure a position at the Axel group before things went wrong. You can resume tomorrow as the sales manager. Your appointment will be dated back to a year so that you can receive all your salaries and incentives from a year ago” Santiago said and stared at him.

“Oh ho, you think you can buy me over with your offer of a job? You’re smart President Axel but I cannot be bought over by you” Grey replied.

This President Axel must really be full of himself. He thinks because he’s rich he can have everyone at his call and beckon. But deep inside, Grey was feeling excited.

“I had promised Aurora to offer you the job. She personally chose the position of the sales manager for you. Please Grey, give me a chance to right my wrongs” Santiago was pleading.

He had never pleaded for anything in his life. He was the arrogant type. But he was offering Grey a job and even pleading for him to accept the offer. How much his life had deteriorated.

“I am sorry about everything. I’ve not stopped thinking about Aurora. I am still investigating who’s behind all the misery that has happened to her.

I wish I could back the hands of time, I would have trusted Aurora more than anything else in this life. But I guess it is late already.

I swear to you that I will find Aurora even if that’s the last thing I do before I die” Santiago assured them and turned, walked out of the door.

Millie Logan’s eyes became moist. Santiago still loves her daughter. How she wished she could tell him that he has twins Sam and Samantha. How much Sam looked like him and Samantha like his younger sister.

Aurora had told them about all her goings. She later opened up to them that her family had come for her and she’s in St Petersburg.

That’s why she has never been found all these months. She was out of the country.

Aurora had found her family but she will never stop calling Aurora her daughter. She even helped her brother secure a job before things fell apart? Every good thing that has happened to Grey was made possible by Aurora.

“You’re taking that job. Get ready to resume tomorrow. It’s not easy getting a job with the Axel group and you’ve just got it and a senior position at that. Aurora had paved the way for you to be at the top” Millie Logan instructed her son.

“Of course I am taking it. I am only pretending not to show my excitement in front of him. Not when I will receive a year’s salary for the work I didn’t do” Grey said and jumped on the cushion.

He was feeling very happy. At last he was getting his dream job. Aurora had promised him she was going to talk things over with Santiago on his behalf to offer him a job but didn’t know Aurora had done it before going to jail.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
