Yh, funny. I assume you had a happy
childhood.
"Not exactly it was after Jake came into my
life. "Do you still love him?".. Mark asked
Aurora hesitated a bit before patting her
lips."Yes I do,very much.
"That's good to know...he forced out a smile.
"Urhmm should I get you breakfast or you
wish to take your shower first".
I will have breakfast first. "Ok then I will ask Tiwa to get it for you, she will also help you with your bath.
Mark stood up and was about leaving the
room when Aurora called for him.
"Mark" Yes...he turned swiftly. Thank you
once again.
"No need it's okay."
Hmm,Aurora smiled at him.
I will take my leave now....he hurriedly
walked out.
Mark sat in his swivel chair and focused his
eyes on one thing, Aurora's picture.
"Since when did I fall for you..this is all
bullshit, I have to burry all these feelings.
"Scorpion"...he called out.
"Yes Sir".
I want every piece of information you can
get about Charles. I want to know every
damn thing about him.
I want him punished in such a way which...
hrggh
He closed his eyes and sipped the air lightly
you can get moving now. Scorpion bowed and walked out.
He walked to the mini bar in his office and
poured himself whiskey
He didn't notice when he was done with
three bottles... Mark was totally wasted.

*Knock* "You may enter... Aurora spoke
Hi Aurora, I brought you breakfast. "Oo that
soo sweet of you. Come in please.
Tiwa walked towards the bed and gently
placed the tray on the bed. "Here you go.
Hmmm smells delicious... Aurora inhaled deeply. "Aurora sorry about what happened to you I can't imagine what you went through.
Don't worry Tiwa I'm fine now. All I have to
do is to watch out and probably take extra
guards with me. I will be retiring from work
for the meantime, anyways I trust my fellow
doctors.
I have to be careful not to stress myself out,
who knows I might be dieing anytime soon.
"Hey why are you saying that? "Please
promise me you won't tell Mark about it.
Aurora said with pleading eyes
But how can I? I mean.... "Please Tiwa promise me.
"Ok fine I promise you.
I have leukemia,I need a bone marrow
transplant.
What??? Tiwa's eyes widened in shock
But how?? l mean since when you are fine right? "No I'm not l can feel it within me, that I'm dying each second.
Why haven't you done the surgery yet?
You see, mine is genetic so I need my
Mom's bone marrow.
Then what are you waiting for? They aren't
my real parents.... I was adopted.
What!! So you mean to say you are an
orphan?
I'm not really sure and don't really know
about that.
Aurora what can I do to help you? "Nothing
can be done Tiwa, absolutely nothing.
No,no you can't die just like that, Tiwa wiped
the tears on her cheeks. "Hey why are you
crying? No need to cry...I will embrace
death wholeheartedly anyways my life is
pointless,there is no happiness,no care,
nothing feels like home...I mean I was really
happy back then even when I knew I was
going to die.
