Aurora's P.O.V
"αγάπη μου means my love in the Greek language, you might not know this but I knew you were the love of my life a long time ago, I was just waiting for you to realise it." He smiles at me and I chuckle. "I've loved you for a long time Aurora and I never stopped, I have never made a move without you in mind so believe me when I say that I'm here, I love you and I would never hurt you." I wipe away my tears and hold his hands again, nodding.
"I love you, always have and I always will. It's always been you Cy." I whisper to him, leaping into his arms. I don't know when I fell asleep but I wake up to a beautiful sunset, in Cy's bed. Looking around for my phone, I look at the time. "It's pretty late." Getting up I slip on my shoes and head downstairs. "Cy?" I call out to him but find Mary instead. "Mary, do you know where Cy is?"
"Oh Mr Kensington has stepped out for a moment Miss, he said he'd be right back." I nod and sit down and she places a cup in front of me, pouring me tea.
"Thanks Mary." I say before taking a sip. It feels good to be here again, Cy and I might have talked things out but I didn't expect him to ask me to come back so soon. I need to prove myself to him, for him and for myself.
"Would you like to help me?" She smiles at me and I say yes. "You look troubled Miss, is everything alright?"
"I don't know Mary, I kind of messed up a little with him but after our talk I think things are looking up for us." I say hopefully, just then Cy walks through the door and hands me a big bouquet of white roses.
"Hi." He smiles kissing my forehead.
"Hey, these are beautiful. Thank you."
"I think everything is just fine." She whispers to me taking the flowers off my hands.
"Where did you disappear to?" He pours himself a glass of whiskey and pours a glass for me as well.
"I went to see Mia." I watch him gulp it down and politely decline mine.
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?" He looks at me, as if contemplating to tell me or not. "Cy it's okay."
"A couple of months ago someone tried to kill her, he was a professional which means he was hired by someone and Mikey later found out that he was hired by her father." My eyes widen.
"Her own father tried to have her killed?! But why?"
"Because when I took over my father's company I basically forced Mia's father to step down and hand his company over to Mia."
"So he figures that if he kills her, he'll take over again." And he nods. "That's fucked up."
"That's what it's like to grow up with families like ours." He's right, I mean his father almost had me killed just so he could get Cy to go to London, so of course Mia's father is capable of doing the same thing or even worse.
"Is that why you went over to her that day?"
"Mikey informed me that he noticed someone following her but when he tried to take him out they disappeared, that night she called me asking me to stop sending people to shadow her but-"
"But it wasn't one of your guys."
"No, which is why I went over there that night, to make sure she was safe. When I got there she was so petrified that she basically cried herself to sleep, when I left I came straight home." That explains how she got close enough to leave that lipstick stain, wow Aurora, the poor girl was scared for her life and you were throwing toddler tantrums. I must be dumb.
"Have you found the guy yet? Any leads?" Mary re-enters the kitchen to check on dinner and Cy and I move to his office.
"We have a couple of leads but nothing really solid yet." Getting in, I close the door and sit.
"What happens now?"
"She's hired the best security in New York so at least she's safe and I have Mikey watching her as well, just in case. All that's left is to find the bastard and proof that her father hired him so we can get rid of him for good." Get rid of him for good? Does he mean-
"You mean kill him?" His eyes shoot right for me and for a split second they were filled with hunger.
"Hand him over to the police. I don't think Mia would actually kill her father, she might despise him but she still loves him." I can understand that, I mean at the end of the day he is her father.
"It's not easy to hate family."
"Yes it is." My heart aches, I wish I could give him better memories of his childhood. I look at him and furrow my eyebrows.
"What?" He smiles at me.
"Nothing, it's just seeing you worry about Mia proves how good of a person you really are."
"My jealousy was the problem but I know she's a good person and she's been nothing but nice to me." He nods then looks at his watch.
"It's pretty late, why don't you spend the night?" I look at him, blushing.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes of course, I won't let you drive at night Aurora."
"Thank you." I say getting up, "I'll let you know when dinner's ready okay." He nods and I leave, heading to the bookshelf I grab a book and sit in the tv room.
"Here you are Miss." She says placing my plate on the table.
"Thanks Mary, it's okay I'll take Cy's food upstairs." I say quickly taking his tray and heading upstairs, putting the tray on the floor I open the door, pick it up then enter. "I brought you your food."
"Thank you." Putting it on the table I leave, I eat while reading but I can't shake the feeling of fatigue. I don't know when I fell asleep but I wake up to Cy's face while he carries me upstairs.
"Go back to sleep, I'm just taking you to bed." I hum, nodding and snuggle closer to him. I feel him put me down and kiss me softly on the forehead then leave. Waking up in the middle of the night I quickly run to the bathroom and vomit, it doesn't take long for Cy to wake up and come sooth my back as I vomit. "Aura are you okay? What's wrong?" After, I get up and wash my face with his eyes watching my every move.
"It must be something I ate."
"Are you sure?"
"Mhm, I'm okay really." I say kissing his cheek and we both head back to bed, he pulls me to him, wrapping his arms around me. I want to tell him, I want to tell everyone so bad but I can't. Not right now, If I tell him and we get to a good place because we're so happy about this baby then we'll end up right back where we started. I just hope that's soon because I can't keep quiet forever.
