Aurora's P.O.V
"I actually don't like that chandelier." I say looking at it, Kim groans.
"Aurora come on! We've changed it three times already, just make up your mind. Please." I chuckle. Shame my poor baby, she's been helping me get the house ready as best she can but, as I've also learned, I'm indecisive and hard to please.
"This will be the last time, I promise." I slump down next to her, laying my head on her shoulder. They finally finished painting the whole house so it reeks of fresh paint. "How are you and Spencer? Have you started planning the wedding?" She shakes her head.
"There's just been so much going on that I haven't had time to even think about planning the wedding."
"Did I put you through that much?" I feel so shitty right now. She turns to me, eyebrows furrowed.
Grabbing my face with both hands she pushes my cheeks together. "Of course not. You were the one going through everything and me being there as your sister, wasn't a burden to me so, never think like that or say it ever again. Do you hear me?"
"Yes mother." I roll my eyes and we laugh, hugging each other. "Okay break time is over, Cy's coming back tomorrow and I want this place to be half done by then." I hear her groaning but I pull her to her feet and we get back to work.
Cy's P.O.V
Things have been going well with this deal and I'm supposed to be flying back to New York tomorrow. Getting a knock at the door, I take off my blazer and answer it.
"Yes?"
"So sorry to disturb you Mr Kensington but your wife is downstairs sir." I furrow my eyebrows.
"My wife?" I smirk. "I'll be right down."
"She'll be waiting in the lobby sir." Heading downstairs I make my way to the lobby.
"Aurora?" I say wrapping my arms around her waist.
"Cy." She says turning around and my face turns stern.
"What are you doing here Mia?"
"Is that any way to speak to your wife? Aren't you happy to see me?" She smiles at me.
"You are not my wife." I say coldly. "Why are you here Mia, you are supposed to be in Paris."
"Why are you acting like this?! I thought-" I pull on her arm and her body smashes against mine.
"Keep your voice down, come here." I take her to the hotel conference room and close the door behind me. I overlook the city and sigh. "Que haces Mia?"
"What are you doing Mia?"
"Cy solo quiero que volvamos a ser como eran las cosas."
"Cy I just want us to go back to the way things were." I feel her hands wrap around my shoulders. "¿No me extrañas? ¿No recuerdas la noche que compartimos en París bajo las estrellas?"
"Don't you miss me? do you not remember the night we shared in Paris underneath the stars?"
"Quítame las manos de encima Mia."
"Take your hands off of me Mia." I turn to her. "Tú sabes muy bien lo borrachos que estábamos esa noche, no sabíamos lo que pasaba y aun así te dije que amaba a Aurora."
"You know very well how drunk we were that night, we didn't know what was going on and even then I told you that I loved Aurora."
"¿No significo nada para ti?"
"Do I mean nothing to you?" Tears run down her face as she looks at me. "¿Sabes lo que es que otra persona elija a quién vas a amar? Desde el momento en que pude entenderte te convertiste en mi razón de existir. ¡Me estaban entrenando para ser la esposa de Cy! ¡Ser inteligente para Cy! Estudié negocios para poder ayudarte a administrar MI negocio familiar. No podía ser mi propia persona y lo acepté porque era definitivo que nos casaríamos, así que me permití amarte y luego me dices esto."
"Do you know what it's like to have someone else choose who you're going to love? From the moment I could understand, you became my reason of existence. I was being trained to be Cy's wife! To be smart for Cy! I studied business so I could help you run MY family business. I couldn't be my own person and I accepted that because it was definite that we'd get married, so I allowed myself to love you, then you tell me this."
"Mia-"
"What am I supposed to do now Cy? With all these emotions?"
"I told you from the day I met you that I was in love with someone else and that I could never love you the way you wanted me to, I told you that it has always been Aurora for me and that it always will be."
"Well I love you too! And I'm not just going to give up on you like that."
"If you even think of-"
"I will do whatever it takes to have you." She looks at me with determination in her eyes. I have never laid my hands on a woman and I never thought anything would make me do it either but, looking at her right now and hearing those words leave her lips, makes me really angry. Wrapping my hand around her neck I close my hand slowly as she looks at me wide eyed.
"If you even think of laying a finger on Aurora or hurting her in anyway, I swear to you, I will end you. I will destroy you. Do not test me." I say coldly looking down at her. "I'm only going to say this once." I warn letting her go. Landing on her knees she coughs, trying to catch her breath and I leave. Wrapping everything up I leave that night. Just when I was thinking of actually throwing caution to the wind, this happens. Mia might not look it but when she wants to be she can be very dangerous, deadly even. Walking into the house I'm greeted by a wide eyed Aurora and I smile.
"What are you doing here?!" She asks with the biggest smile on her face. Running to me she jumps into my arms.
"I told you I missed you." She kisses me gently.
"And I thought I told you to not rush anything and that I was okay."
"Missing you is agony for me Angel." Pulling on my arm she guides me further into the house.
"Well since you came back early I might as well show you your surprise. Ta da!" She says spreading her arms while standing in the middle of the living room.
"You did all of this?" I ask her stunned.
"I had some help." She smiles. "I know you told me to take it easy but I wanted you to come back to a place that feels like home, which is why I told you not to rush." She glares at me and I chuckle.
"Aurora-"
"It's not finished yet but I did consider what you also like so don't worry, there are pieces of you in it too."
"Aurora."
"Hmm?" I take her in my arms looking down at her.
"You are my home, this place, this is just a house but the most important thing in it is you. So just know Angel that you are the home feeling you're trying to build. Okay?"
"Okay." She smiles standing on her toes and kissing me.
