Alex looked taken aback when he heard Cameron. He remembered that Aurora had asked him to come to her graduation back when she was living with him. He seemed happy at the thought of seeing her again. He only hoped she won't dismiss his presence or treat him like a stranger when she sees him
"It's miss Aurora's graduation?" Marcus asked in a surprising tone. He noticed she wasn't at his boss' house anymore and when he asked the boss, he simply said 'she left' and won't explain further than that and he knows more than to ask the boss questions that'll get him mad so he just kept mute and now hearing about her made him glad that she was okay. He was worried about her, he thought she was too nice and she'll probably get kidnapped again if she has no one to take care of her.
"Yes, tommorow" Cameron answered and turned to face Alex "so what's it gonna be Alex?"
"I'll go" Alex wanted nothing more than to wipe off the mischievous grin on Cameron's face
"Great then, I'll come meet you at your house Tommorow......you'll be at the residence right. I'm assuming you'll not be going to the mansion...No?" Cameron asked as he stood up
"I'll be at the residence. What time is it?"
"Around ten'o clock but don't worry, you don't have to be that early. We can leave around and eleven"
"Alright, now get out"
"Geez!! I'm leaving. Marcus, good luck dealing with this boss of yours" Cameron said before exiting the office
"Sir, they're all in the meeting room, ready and waiting for you" Marcus said
"Let's go then" Alex said as he stood up from his chair
------------------------------------
"Are you sure I can't come?" Lea asked Aurora as she got dressed for the dinner she was going to
"Yes, it's family only lea"
"But.....I just want to make sure they won't do anything to hurt you. They're all witches" lea said
Aurora laughed before saying "also the reason you're not allowed to come. I know you'll probably pour drinks on their faces or pull out their hairs once they say anything to trigger you"
"Well, they shouldn't say anything that'll trigger me then"
"You know, violence is not the answer lea"
"Tell you what my darling, violence is sometimes the answer" lea smirked
"I wonder how Cameron put up with your violent tendencies"
"Violent tendencies? Now that's just a fancy way to put it and Cameron's fine with it. He dares not complain"
"Oh wow. I think I'm done. How do I look"
Lea looked at rory's outfit. It's a short black gown paired with a long white jacket and black platforms. It's perfect for tonight
"That's it girl, you go kill them"
"You do realize it's not like I'm going to a show but a dinner to meet my family"
"Yea, but You have to dress in a way that speaks volumes darling. You know... Let then know you're doing better without them in your life"
"Okay mama" Rory laughed as she walked out of the room with lea following her
"Bye, don't come back so late so you can get some good sleep before tommorow okay?"
"Yes lea. Don't raid my fridge while I'm gone" Rory looked at her with a pointed look
"Yea, yea. Whatever, just leave already so I can know where to get started with these foods" lea said with a cheeky grin
Aurora smiled and headed out of the house. She walked towards the car that was packed outside of her house sent by her grandparents to pick her up. Her grandparents had asked her to come for dinner, she'd been excited at the thought of seeing them after a long time until she heard that her parents and sister are going to be there.
'It'll be like a little family reunion before the ceremony tommorow' her grandma had said when she called earlier. Aurora won't lie that she was anxious. It's been long since she'd seen her dad and she hasn't seen her mother and sister after that little stunt they pulled at the mall. Aurora knew they'll say things that'll anger her but she made up her mind not to heed to whatever they say and just enjoy the foods available.
After a while, the car pulled over at her grandparents mansion. She's been here tons of time but she won't get over how huge this place is. Every design was intricate and it has white interior. The outside looks a little bit ancient due to the style of houses when it was built a couple of decades back and her grandfather had refused to change or upgrade anything because most of the designs were chosen by his wife.
The driver opened the car door for her to which she gave a 'thank you' which didn't surprise the guy. The young miss has always been nice to all of them working there as she had lived with them all when she was younger. Aurora walked in and was greeted by the butler, Mr Alaric who took her jacket from her after greeting her to which Aurora responded with a tight hug because it had been long since she'd seen him and he was so good to her while she lived there.
Aurora held her head high, took a deep breath and put on a charming smile
It's Showtime
She heard low murmurs as she pulled the double doors by their large handles. She figured they were already seated so she entered
"Aurora, you're here" her grandmother stood up from her seat to give her a hug
"Hey child" Aurora's grandfather said with a small smile which Aurora returned
"Good evening grandma. How have you been?" Aurora asked with a smile as she held her grandma's hand and led her back to her seat
"Grandfather, hope you both arrived well"
"Yea, yes we did" her grandparents answered
As Aurora's granny complained about how she'd lost weight and if she was eating well, Aurora scanned the table. She saw her father who was seated on the left side of her grandfather, his wife sat beside him and Aurelia sat beside her. They were all looking at her weirdly
"Sit down, sit down child" Aurora was snapped out of her daze as she heard the voice. She didn't know whose voice it was but she figured it was one of her grandparent's. It could never had been her parents. She scoffed
Aurora sat down and smiled as she faced her father. She was interrupted by him as she wanted to greet him
"You're late..." her father said
Wow, old man not even a hi at your daughter
"Carlos, you don't have to be so stiff, you're just seeing her for the first time in years. Be nice" her grandma said as she lightly slapped his back
"My apologies"
"Lydia, Aurelia" Aurora greeted them with a nod to which her mother responded with a snicker
"Still haven't changed, have you? Still the spoilt little brat you are. How dare you address me by my first name. I'm your mother girl"
"My bad, i almost forgot I have a mother due to many years of me living alone" Aurora said feigning an apologetic expression
"Y...You, don't you dare blame this on me when you were the one who left and might i add.... willingly"
"Aurora, you don't have to behave so coldly towards mother, we're all here to enjoy this meal as a family. Are you perhaps still mad about what happened at the mall?" Aurelia said feigning sympathy
Aurora was about to say something but was interrupted by a voice she recognizes to be her grandfather
"What happened at the mall?"
