Unlighted Love 🖤

Chapter17:My Life At Bet!

Aurora's POV:-

~The way he pulled my face towards his,
"I can't wait to make love to you." said with a smirk and pulled me in a kiss hungrily. ~

My eyes opened wide  in shock,
What the hell, I dreamt this , and thanks to it i bit my tongue.

It's been two days since my birthday...

🖤🖤🖤

Later that night...

Aiden called me, but I didn't pick up. I know this is not the right way to show gratitude for how he filled my heart with affection and later with grief.

And one surprising thing also happened: Jimmy gifted me a frame with a picture of Aiden and me looking at each other outside the cafe library I went to that day.

Now the one thing I am sure of is that when you are with your loved ones, it hurts like hell when you part ways.

🖤🖤🖤

Chris and Bells are the ones who always stood beside me, and I left them for a coward. Today I'll have a word with Cole just to find out the truth.

But before that, I should get hold of myself. I ate food and did the laundry of my undergarments. Now I should check out the library today with my coffee.

Today's forecast showed cold wind as it's the start of winter, so I took a coat with me.

🖤🖤🖤

When I reached the cafe, it looked less crowded, maybe because of the weather, but when I got to the counter, the staff seemed hesitant. Something really felt off, but I kept still, waiting for my coffee at a table. Then a worker approached me and said, "Ma'am, you forgot to take napkins," giving me a sign to look at them.

I looked down at the napkin. It said,

"Some guys are after you. Help yourself."

I was shocked. Somebody is after me? What do they want from me? I can't escape now, but the least I can do is call. I called Aiden first. To my surprise, he didn't pick up; maybe he is mad. But then I called Jimmy, and thankfully he picked up.

"Hello?" he said.

"Jim, listen to me carefully. Some guys are after me. I can't escape now. Just tell Aiden that... (sighs) ...forget it."
I declined.

What was I going to say? Maybe nothing seems to matter now. God, reunite me with my people before this. Maybe it's the end.

I got up from my table and saw Jim calling back. I silenced my phone and went outside, miserably hurt inside but still keeping a smile outside. Tears started gathering in my eyes.

Jim called again, and this time I picked up.

"Where are you right now?" he asked.

"At the cafe where that picture was taken. Just tell him that 'I am sorry,' and you, Jim, you cannot break my Bella's heart, okay?" I said, tears streaming down my cheeks.

He was silent for a few seconds.

"I won't. Just trust me, Aurora. We will save you no matter what happens," he said and ended the call.

I started walking towards my car, and as expected, a guy called from behind, "Mrs. Wilson."
God, I hate this name. I was going to turn back when suddenly something hit my head.

Shit, it hurts!
I fell unconscious, everything blacking out. Faintly, I saw two guys picking me up.

My life is at bet! maybe I should consider it my end...

Aiden's POV:-

That night...

I called her while drinking whiskey. To my surprise, she didn't pick up. She did the right thing; an asshole like me doesn't deserve her. I clenched my hand in anger, and I saw blood dripping down vigorously. Fuck. I poured whiskey on my wounds as it's alcohol and wrapped my hand in bandages. I don't remember when I fell asleep.

Next Morning...

I woke up to Jimmy yelling at me, and I was still in my dazed state.

"What is this, Aid? How did you get hurt? You didn't even pick up my calls," he yelled in anger, but it seemed more out of concern.

"I made a mistake," I said, wiping away my sweat.

"What mistake? Did you say something to her?" he asked.

"Something like that, but it was the right thing to do at the time," I said.

"But what about your wound?" he asked.

I told him everything about everything, except how she seductively complimented my cologne.

*Sighs* "Bro, this is messed up, but trust me, everything will be alright in no time," Jim said.

Then we took the day off. At home, we looked at matters of our organization, and the day went like that.

🖤🖤🖤

Today...

It's been two days since I saw her or talked to her.

I was working in my cabin when a call from Aurora popped up. I didn't pick up. I'm the one who hurt her. Now is not the right time to talk.

Then, a few minutes later, the door slammed open. Jimmy looked tense; it was my first time seeing him like this. I yelled, "What happened, Jim?"

"She is in danger, Aid. Lily needs your help," he said while dragging me outside along with him.

"What are you saying? I don't understand," I said while going with him.

"Aurora is in danger; someone kidnapped her. She told me to tell you that she is sorry," he said while getting in the car.

She called me, and I didn't pick up? All thoughts were running through my head at the same time. What if I had picked up her call and nothing like this had happened? Then Jim called me from inside the car. I got in, and Jim spoke up.

"She got kidnapped in front of the cafe. When she talked to me, I felt like she was crying," Jim said.

"Fuck," I slammed my hand on the bonnet. "I always lose my loved ones... Do you have any clue where she is and who did this?" I said, not noticing the tears coming out of my eyes. Anger flared in my eyes.

"I tracked her phone. It's been a few minutes, and thankfully, her phone is still on. I tried all my means, and I have suspected one car only," Jim said while driving at 120 km/h.

"Let's get to her first, then we'll think about something else. And I think they want us to reach there," I said.

Maybe I am the reason she is in this situation...

And why did Jim call Aurora by his sister's name?
