Aurora's P.O.V
It's been a week since I saw Cy and a part of me was relieved, another part of me didn't know how to feel, but the good news was that I had gotten my groove back and was doing great at work. Of course my biggest deal, with Ben, had totally gone to shit and that just pissed me off. Hearing a soft knock I yell "Come in." Justin peeks his head in like a lost puppy.
"Miss Anderson you have a visitor." I furrow my eyebrows then page through my calendar to see if it was my next appointment. "He's not pencilled in." He adds.
"It's okay Justin, let him in." To be frank I'm scared that it could be Cy and if it is what will I say? Okay just breathe Aurora. When I see who it is I immediately get upset, why is it him? "Out!" I command and he puts up his hands, surrendering.
"Aurora please just let me explain." He begs.
"I'm not interested in anything you have to say, you tricked me and what's worse is that you dragged one of my clients into this! I had to tell her that she wasn't getting the contract anymore because you and your friend played this sick game. Is my work a joke to you Ben? Ugh! You men are despicable, get out." I point at the door.
"No, Aurora that isn't what is going on at all, I meant it when I said I wanted to work with you, Cy just came into the picture after but originally I had intended to contact you. Look I admire your work, you've made a good name for yourself and you're honest, it's just that when a good friend of mine asked me for a favour I couldn't say no, I am so sorry." He says searching my eyes, I didn't know what to say, I mean I can see he means it but damn it, he toyed with my time. "I'd love if we could still work together." He adds.
"I don't work with people I don't trust." I say flatly.
"Then I guess I'll just have to work on getting you to trust me again." And I can't help but smile, so does he.
"If you pull this shit on me again I'll end you." My face turns serious.
"Hey, I believe you." He laughs nervously. Ben's unexpected visit ends up being a full blown meeting, apart from Cassandra, there are other books he likes and is interested in working on. What I mostly took from our discussion is that we're going to be working with each other for quite some time, leaving I walk him out then dive back into work. I loose myself in it till Justin reminds me that it's time to go home, packing up I head home but make a quick detour to grab some Chinese food. I see something that takes me aback, my picture that was on the billboard is gone, it's just completely blank now. Getting home I find the house empty, "Kim?" I call out for her but she's not here, I decide to text her then dish up for myself and put the rest into the warming drawer.
Aurora: Hey it's pretty late, where are you?
Kim: I know, sorry I didn't give you a heads up, I'm held up at work with a client but I'll be home soon.
Aurora: It's okay, I'm just happy you're safe, food's in the oven.
Night ❤️
After eating I get ready for bed and easily pass out.
Kim's P.O.V
I've usually prided myself in being the best real estate agent in the city, but I can't believe it took me almost the whole day to find this house and the keys necessary to excess it. Getting into my car I start driving, I hear my phone buzzing so I look who it is and it's a text message from Aurora.
Aurora: Hey it's pretty late, where are you?
Kim: I know, sorry I didn't give you a heads up, I'm held up at work with a client but I'll be home soon.
Aurora: It's okay, I'm just happy you're safe, foods in the oven.
Night ❤️
Getting out of the car, I slide my phone into my pocket and open the gate, getting into the house I'm ambushed by the butler I'm assuming.
"May I help you miss?" He asks not at all surprised that I managed to break into the house.
"I'm here to see your boss."
"He's expecting you, right this way." Of course he's expecting me, smug bastard must have let me sneak in. Standing in front of his office, the butler leaves so I push the double doors open.
"You have some nerve you know that." I spit out.
"Kim." He says standing and making his way to me, he chooses to sit on the front edge of his desk, folding his arms. I won't lie, I see what the fuss is about, the man is gorgeous, I mean he's exactly Aurora's type but that's besides the point.
"Cy Kensington, I out to spit on your face, what the hell is wrong with you? What, destroying her the first time wasn't enough you wanna do it again?!" If I didn't know any better I'd say that those words hurt him more than they should have, like he'd rather die than hear those words. What is going on here? "It wasn't you, was it." It just comes out like vomit and our eyes lock for the first time.
"It's complicated." He simply says, ah ahh that cannot just be it.
"Well then uncomplicate it, because if you want her back then you'll need me as your ally and not your enemy." I say threateningly, he loudly exhales then gestures for me to have a seat. Even as we spoke I knew that he wasn't telling me the whole story but he was telling me enough, which is what I needed to know and in the end, I honestly felt sorry for him. This whole time everyone painted him out to be the bad guy but the truth is he wasn't, back then he was just a kid who had to listen to his parents and do what they said. I guess he waited until he didn't need anyone's permission to do anything, that's why he came back. "If you really want her back then all I can say is fight for her, even when she doesn't want you to. But I swear, if you hurt her again I'll circumsize you beyond repair." I spit out and he releases a chuckle.
"I'll end you Stevens but, I hear you loud and clear and believe me when I say that, I'm not going anywhere without her."
"We'll see." I say leaving and heading home, New York is about to get the shake of its life.
