Wait a second, before you explain
everything to him l want to know something
how did you find out that Aurora was in
danger....Max asked.
She was having fun so l excused myself,
but then I noticed that someone spilled
juice on her so she left to clean the stain."
But while waiting,I had this feeling that
something was wrong. The stain wasn't
something that should take her forever so I
took the initiative to follow her, while walking
towards my room I heard her screaming,
that is when I rushed in here hurriedly.
Good,if you haven't being here on time
I don't know what would have happened to
my Baby.
Baby!!! Mark exclaimed with a hard glare.
Angel chuckled. It seems someone is in
trouble for the second time, Angel said
sarcastically.
Whoa,I know that look but please be very
kind not to punch me.
Angel burst into laughter it's very good you
still remember what happened to you
during recess when you called Aurora baby.
The three of you attended the same college?
Tiwa asked.
No,the four of us... Maxwell replied.
So who's the fourth one?. Mark asked
J-Jake... Aurora called in her sleep.
Angel sat beside her and wiped the sweat
forming on her forehead.
"Seems I didn't have to mention his name,
Aurora answered your question...Max shrugged.
Jake Scott? Yes Jake Scott your rival,
my best friend and the love of Aurora.
Mark's eyes widened in shock. Uhm I..I
didn't know that, he swallowed the lump in
his throat.
Didn't Aurora tell you? They were about
to get married but someone murdered Jake.
Maxwell said with gritted teeth.
Do you now know the person who punched
me during our college days? "Yes...I do now.. Mark replied.
Brother are you okay? your face looked
flushed and you are sweating too. Tiwa
asked worried.
I'm okay it just that it a bit hot in here.
But the Air condition is on....Max said.
Mark raised his head to the direction of the
Air condition and realized it was on all this
while.
I...I.. I think I'm...uhm I don't really know.
"It's okay brother I'm sure you are just worried
for Aurora. Yes yes you are right.
"Hmm I see it's just that you looked like someone who got caught for commiting a
crime...Max said sarcastically
What!! He began to wipe the sweat on his
forehead...is it that obvious? he said in a low tone.
Excuse me did you say something?Max
asked.
What me,no no I said nothing. The fear in
his eyes as he spoke was shocking him.
Brother are you sure you are fine? You are
shaking.
I'm fine I will just go see to it that, that
man pays.
****
Mark was in his study gulping in Alcohol
like it was water. What have I done? he run his
hands in his hair looking all frustrated. I killed the love of her life. This is unforgivable, what will I do if she finds out the truth?
I won't deny the fact that l've fallen for her, I
love her and I didn't see it coming.God what kind of a punishment is this.
