Chapter 27 - You're still my wife

Aurora who was in the middle of discussing something was startle when she heard someone calling out her name. The voice sounded like someone she wanted to see but doesn't want to see at the same time. She still can remembered his voice no matter how long it has been. No matter how harsh he always sound in the past but his voice is not something that she can easily forget. The others who are with her also stopped and look towards the entrance where they can see a man who's been held by the bodyguards, stopping him to enter the section. Aurora is still looking static. Her heart suddenly feels stuff.

"Aurora!!!" Cole called again. Slowly, Aurora raise her head and saw him standing there looking at her. Her eyes suddenly becomes watery when she sees him like that. His face are covered with little beard, with dark circle around his eyes and looking thinner than she last saw him. His long hair are tied lazily with a hairband. And she recognize that small flower with the letter A hairband. It was hers. She lost it somewhere inside his house and she soon forgot about it. She stood up hastily and try to run the other way. Others stood as well, covering her whole body from Cole's view. Unsatisfied his eyes unable to see, he try to barge in but only to be stopped again.

"Aurora, you're still my wife and will always be. I'm not going to stop looking for you and i'm never going to divorce you. Won't you forgive me?" With his trembling voice, he said what he's been wanting to say. He doesn't care about anything else. He's been looking for two years. Now that he found her, he's not going to lose his sight any longer.

Aurora who heard it finally broke down and cry. She clutch her chest and hold onto Caleb who's already looking worried.

"Aurora, are you okay? Take a deep breath. You can't get too agitated. Tristan, we're moving now. She doesn't look good." Others who heard Caleb nodded their head and brought her out of the room and headed towards their private jet. Cole who sees them going away try once again to enter the room but were held by the two bodyguards. He ended up punching both of them but this time Carl hold him down.

"Stop Cole. Stop it!!! She need to go now. Don't chase after her anymore. You're entering there will only make her worry. Didn't you see the people around her? They've been wanting to fight you for the past 5 years. But because we know she cares about you and doesn't want to see you hurt we're not doing anything. It still doesn't mean they will stay silent forever. Just like me, they protect her like she's the most precious person in their life. It's enough i'm giving you this opportunity to see her. Know that she's well Cole. And let her go. It's for your own good."

"Only she can make my life feel good Carl. And i will never let her go no matter what." Cole whose gaze never stray from the empty room sat on the floor feeling his life is meaningless once more. He thought she would forgive him and stay if he ever see her. He thought she would be in his arms when the next time he sees her. But unfortunately none of that happen. She still left him.

Carl who stood there can only sighed. He feels frustrated on both side. He saw how both of them suffer. One suffer from her own decision while the other suffer because of someone else's decision. It was not a coincidence to let them met each other like this. It was basically their plan. Even though Caleb disagree with it as it will trigger her poison but they wanted Aurora to live her life happily. And not forcing that happiness away from her. However things don't always go the way they planned it. But at least from there on, Aurora will finally realize something.

P.A Dom who was standing at the side watched the whole scene. He was flabbergasted. Wife? The president has a wife? When did he get married? He did heard about the president got married. But because he never saw the president bother to go home nor do anything that indicates that he's a married man, he thought it was rumors. Now that he saw the whole thing, he finally believe in those rumors. He didn't get to see the president's wife face. But he heard him calling her Aurora. Why does the name sound familiar? And why did the president's wife is with the Demon King as well as General Harrison? These two figures alone can shake the whole country. And he somehow saw another figure that's well known among the people who's 'guarding' Aurora. It's too complicated. Being President Cole's P.A is never easy.
