I never thought their was a family with such secrets other than mine, the thought of learning the truth of your own family when you had high expectations is outstanding.

"How amazing you sure know when to show up and cause drama little bro", Denzel cut into my room with his satisfied laugh. "I thought I was the problem of the house never knew you would be this amazing, tearing down the daughter of the prime minister and the daughter of one of the big families, now that's an achievement for the history books". The pain of knowing that he knew led me to believe the entire family heard about it, however what shocked me the most was the first part, "what do you mean the daughter of the prime minister?", I asked turning towards him. "wait you never knew, boy you had an affair with the most influential politicians daughter and you never knew, I don't know if you are an idiot or just a natural loser". He laughed even more, "aurora is the daughter of the prime minister however she isn't much of a political face, that's why she doesn't appear much on the media and all". "now you got Dash fixing your mess with the press and the prime minister himself, just pray all goes well Dad doesn't know yet". With that relief I thought to my self what if dad found out and what if the prime minister decides to ruin my life in the country, the thought of it made my stomach turn. I looked at my phone and saw a lot of voicemails from my friends and ollys topped in my inbox. I mean I wouldn't blame him it was a rough weekend and the way I left the premises wasn't promising, then it caught my eye, a text from aurora, it was one which I had interest in I quickly opened her message expecting anything, it read:

Hey was waiting on you by the café thought you would drive by after the party. Anyways thanks for the humiliation hope I meet you in the next................

That was a vague and dark text I didn't know how to translate it and the café I only took her their once and it was by chance. The last line in the next, I thought to my self what if she commits suicide I gave off a gloom smile and tried to cheer my thoughts on away from the dark imagination. Is it possible can that level of humiliation lead to that, is it?

I woke up from the shortest night I have ever had thinking hard on the message completely forgetting that their was another who was hurt last night, exildah never crossed my mind at the slightest. I prepared my self for school and went downstairs and picked up my breakfast to go, I was so deep in thought I couldn't notice every one sitted at the table, mum just stared at me and brought me back to my senses with her love slap. "and what makes you think so deeply this morning that you cant greet your dear old mum?" I turned and smiled "its nothing ma, just had a rough night sleep", I turned and mate Denzels gaze with his smirk. I just picked up the keys and drove off without saying much. I thought hard and long and realized dating the Prime Minister's daughter came with its own set of challenges. i had a feeling like i was walking on eggshells, trying my best to navigate the treacherous waters of this or what was the relationship. Despite this, i had believed that i and aurora were meant to be together.However, all of that changed on that fateful day She didn't even bother with the usual pleasantries before getting straight to the point. i felt a cold ball of dread settle in my stomach as I drove. "What? Why?" i asked, hoping against hope that this was some sort of mistake. i felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. i couldn't believe that after all the stuff I had been through, I was going to lose a girl I love and a girl who loves me. i was devastated. However, I eventually realized that i was never going to get the answers I wanted from beating myself u with self-monologues. i decided to try and move on to her place and clear this myself, even though every part of him still longed to avoid the embarrassment. i was curious, and despite my better judgment, i headed to her place. i didn't know what to expect, but i certainly wasn't prepared for what i saw when i arrived. aurora was standing there, looking more beautiful than ever. She was wearing sunglasses and a hoodie, and her hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail. Despite her attempt to conceal her identity, i would have recognized her anywhere. "What are you doing here, aurora?" i asked,my heart pounding with anticipation. "I want to talk to you" i was worried. i didn't know what aurora would think of it to talk about it after the mess I made, but i had a bad feeling that i wasn't going to like it. "You know I want to be with you, aurora," i said, my voice cut the air with a raspy dry hiss. " My father, the Prime Minister, would never allow it.after the humiliation, he takes it as an attack on his name", " i won't let anyone come between us," i said, taking a step towards aurora "I love you, and I'll do anything to be with you." Aurora shook her head. "It's not that simple,derrick . My father has eyes and ears everywhere. He has people watching us, monitoring our every move. We can't risk getting caught. He even went as far as transferring me to study abroad away from you" i knew that Emily was hurting too, but she refused to give up on their relationship and devised a plan. she was willing to do whatever it took to be with the man she loved. "Then we'll have to be careful," i said, taking auroras hand. "We can't let anyone find out about us. We'll have to to leave in secret, and we'll have to be careful not to arouse any suspicion." aurora looked at him, her expression softening. "I want to be with you,derrick," she said, sounding more like the girl he fell in love with. "But we have to be smart about this. We can't let our feelings cloud our judgment." i nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. i knew that this relationship was going to be difficult, but he was willing to do whatever it took to make it work. As we walked away from the compound, i couldn't help but wonder what the future held for us our families had the necessary power to track us down and there was the issue of me going behind dashes back while he was negotiating relations with her family. i knew that theis relationship was going to be filled with danger and suspense, but i couldn't shake the feeling that they we were meant to be together. It was going to be a rocky road ahead, but i was ready to face whatever challenges that came my way. With aurora by my side, i knew that i could conquer anything. As we passed the arched gate I was frightened by the sight of armed service agent who rushed at me with a glimmer of Denzel in the back of the crowd smirking at me.
