Jasper Milo stepped into the elevator with a broad grin. His life had become peaceful since these duo got together again. He can’t remember how many times he had felt miserable with Santiago’s temper toward him when Aurora disappeared and her whereabouts unknown.
Meanwhile Santiago got into the lounge and presented the box to Aurora. Aurora squinted with excitement. She thought as much, that Santiago was going to replace her torn dress. She looked up at him with a megawatt smile.
Santiago only grinned, he knew she was expecting he would get her a new dress and yet blab about going to get her phone a while ago. Aurora collected the box and winked at him.
Pretending not to understand her, Santiago offered to help “If it’s Ok by you, I wouldn’t mind dressing you up”. “Sh.. sh.. Just get out” Aurora ordered but her facial expression was in contrast to her words. With a smile, she pushed Santiago out using all her strength and shut the door.
Santiago chuckled and went to his seat to wait for her. She must have thought she succeeded in pushing him out but in reality he allowed himself out. He was waiting patiently for her to emerge so that he could ask her to continue what she wanted to say.
He wanted to know the person that tried hurting his mother. If he knows who that person is, he would make him or her understand the phrase ‘a fate worse than death’.
Soon Aurora stepped out, putting on a designer’s blue peplum atop a white pencil skirt. Her hips well chiseled out exposing her beautiful legs. She wore a platform shoe to match.
Santiago was left spellbound as he stared at her feminine figure. Aurora just stared at the man who was completely lost, gazing at her.
Aurora coughed slightly to remind Santiago that she was a guest in his office. She had to return to hers. Santiagos came back to his senses but his eyes were still on Aurora’s body.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
His eyes traveled from her body until it reached her face and their eyes locked with each other. He stood up and came over to her, enveloping her in a warm gentle hug. He held her and Aurora rolled her eyes but none of them said a word to the other.
Santiago held her, affectionately and caressed her hair. Their life would have been perfect without any flaws if what happened in the past never happened. Even till this moment he was holding her, he didn’t know why he allowed himself to be deceived and misled. Why did he allow himself to be so used?
Aurora didn’t not struggle to break free from his embrace. Infact, she liked it as she inhaled his scent. Santiago hadn’t changed at all; his fragrance had always been the same.
As it was back then when they were deeply in love at Florence City, so is it even now after their coming back together again. She placed her head on his broad chest and inhaled deeper with her eyes closed.
“Santiago” Aurora whispered his name. “Mm… Santiago grunted. They both seemed to like their present scene. “I love you” Aurora confessed in a deep emotional tone.
Santiago smiled and Aurora could sense that he really was smiling. She wanted to hear if Santiago was going to tell her he loves her too. “I Love you more and I will love you for the rest of my life”. Santiago’s confession carried a hint of sincerity. This confession carried a weight of emotion.
Aurora had a broad smile. Santiago confessed and this time he promised her though he didn’t use the word promise, but Aurora knew he meant those words he said and she took it as a promise. “Sure?” she asked to reaffirm it.
“On my life” Santiago reaffirmed it. He knew Aurora wanted him to do just that. He had told her he loved her in the past and yet left her in the rain, a time she needed his trust the most. But that was never going to happen again, never.
“Whatever happens in our lives, promise me you’ll never leave me for Eve Diego or anyone else?” Aurora urged him. She doesn’t want to ever lose him again. She lost him once and would have lost him for real to Eve Diego but now, she isn’t willing to lose him again.
“I promise to never leave you again, never. I can only give myself to you, I can only love you, You alone. And you can only be mine, you are fated to be mine alone!” Santiago assured her. He knew her fears; he knew she was afraid that the past doesn’t repeat itself.
But he was afraid too. He doesn’t want to lose her again. He had lost her once and he paid dearly for it. He doesn’t want anything or anyone to come between them, ever again.
They remained in each other’s embrace for a long time, only feeling each other’s heartbeat. This was meant to be an ordinary hug but it ended up being the action that propelled them to give the other an everlasting promise.
They would ever remember this day and this scene for the rest of their lives together. Santiago raised her head and bent to kiss her. Soon it became fierce as both of them seemed to want to seal their promises to each other with a kiss.
Eventually, Santiago was the first to pull out of their kiss. He gave Aurora a featherlight kiss on her temple and held her hand. He knew she wanted to return to the office but had to ask her one more question,
“You were going to tell me about the person who tried hurting my mother. Do you know the person?” Santiago inquired.
Walking away from him towards the door, Aurora answered “Of course I know the person. I’ll give you that information as a surprise”.
