Chapter 5 - Welcome home Aurora

They've arrived at one of the many private island that she own two hours later. As soon as she got down from the helicopter, she was greeted by all of her subordinates from many branch all over the world. Despite the late night, they've been waiting for her ever since they got the news she will be returning. It's something that they have been waiting for the whole three years. They all come from different places but the one that seem to stand out than the rest of them is a scarred face man with tattoo on his neck. Standing lazily but the pressure around him one could tell he's someone that have connection with the underworld. He was standing there with both of his hand inside the pocket ignoring other people. But when the helicopter landed and Aurora stepped out, he's the first one to give out the welcome home greet and others seem to follow his lead as well. For everyone there, they already knew the identity that he holds. To others he's the Demon King in the Underworld. He live by his own rule and if he's annoyed he will kill without batting an eye. He doesn't take orders from anyone nor have any fear from the laws. But here, in front of Aurora he was known to be Aurora's most trusted man. In Aurora's circle, there are 10 men that are always presence whenever she's around. And that 10 men all lined up with them in the front receiving Aurora while they could watch in envy. They have a name for the men around Aurora. They called them The Decemvirate. They are someone who will take over whenever Aurora's not around. The power that they held is more terrifying when combine with Aurora. Being close to that power alone makes their knees tremble.

"Welcome home Aurora." Tristan who's been known as Demon King to others greets Aurora respectfully. Long gone his cold pressure and scary demeanor but was replace with warm smile making his face look dashing despite the scar on his face. That scar only made it more attractive. Aurora who saw Tristan also smile.

"I'm home." she said with her eyes starts to water.

And in just 10 seconds she was hugged by all of the 10 men simultaneously including Tristan himself. Her body becomes a tiny dot if one were to see it from the bird's view. With their ridiculously tall figure and well built body, Aurora was drown among their welcome back home hug. All the feelings that she's been holding on finally been released. However it only lasted just a short while since she still needed to go through the night and handle the upcoming matters now that she's back. The man around her understood and seeing she stabilizes herself they finally released her. She nodded her head towards them and start walking taking the lead while the rest of them follows through. Her stoic and cold demeanor reminds them the matters that are on hold for the past three years. Although she did hand her work to Zeus, the intelligent one among the Decemvirate but there are things that needed her attention. Thus her return this time will be filled with endless work. And their days would get busier than before.

As soon as they reach a building that is only for closed meetings, they quickly present their reports and she start to get busy ignoring what she has lost the moment she left Cole's mansion. The one who's close to her only kept quite as they too pretend not knowing anything. Each one of them will definitely find a time to talk with her just so she could stop torturing herself in silence. For now, they need to pass the chaotic night.
