" Stop crying bestie. What happened? Did you guys fight over anything?"
" He has left me bestie. He has gone away. What will I do now? How will I stay without him?" Aurora said crying.
" What? He left? Why? What happened?"
" I have told him my real identity. He is upset that I have hid it from him so long. He thinks I don't trust him." Aurora said crying more.
" What bullshit! Has he gone nuts? How dare he makes by best friend cry like this? I'll kill him." Sofia said angrily. Aurora started crying more.
" Don't be a crybaby Aurora. If he loves you enough, he will understand his mistake and come back. If he doesn't, the fuck it. I will not allow anyone to hurt you like this. Let's go to home. I'll stay with you today."
" But...but.. I can't stay away from him. What about my feelings? I don't want to be alone Sofia." Aurora said.
Sofia sighed. " You can't help it when the person opposite to you doesn't feel the same right? If he genuinely loved you, he would never run away like that."
" Maybe he was afraid? Afraid of mafia things? Probably just like me he doesn't like mafia things or violence? I shouldn't give up on my love like this, should I? I have to have faith in him."
Sofia again sighed. " Yeah. Then have faith in him. Why are you crying? Let him cool down. He will come back. Let's go now."
They went back to Mariano mansion. But Aurora couldn't stop thinking about Ryan and their relationship. She didn't tell anything to her dad as she didn't want to make him more worried. He was already stressed about business. So she didn't want to give him her stress too. But she was broken inside. Her heart was screaming in pain. She wish she could share all those pain with someone. Little did she know more pain was on it's way to torture her to the core.
On the other hand, that day Ryan went back home and called someone.
" What is it this time?" The other side said coldly.
" That dumb girl has confessed her real identity to me. What should I do now?"
" What did you do after she has confessed?"
Ryan told him everything that happened at the restaurant.
" Good. You need to ignore her now for some days. You need to act as natural as possible. Otherwise the Emperor will doubt you."
" But he is not here now."
" That little girlfriend of yours shares everything with her dad. So there is a probability of her father knowing these things about you."
" This girl is a pure example of beauty with no brain." Ryan snorted.
The other side chuckled. " So you are attracted to her beauty?"
" Only blind people won't get attracted to her. You have seen her so I don't have to explain that to you."
" Don't fall in love. Be careful. You are here for a reason." The other side said chuckling.
" Oh come on. I know that. If things were not like this, I would take her back with me and keep her just for myself."
" Well you can take a taste before completing your mission. Who is stopping you?" The other side said smirking.
" You know how sentimental she is! She wishes to make things like that special. What an innocents soul! Huh! Maybe she will agree if I convince her time to time. But I don't think it's a good idea. What if I get addicted to her? It would get hard to complete my mission then."
" Well you are right. There is a possibility of getting addicted. That girl is too hot to resist." The other side said laughing loudly.
Ryan made a gagging face. " Eww.. You are in her dads age."
" Well, age doesn't matter to me. Who says we elders can't enjoy hot girls?" the other side said smirking.
" You and your dirty jokes. Keep them to yourselves. I will ignore her like a week or two. Just to make sure she will obey me like a puppy after that. So that I can take her alone anywhere."
" Yeah. That sounds pretty good to me."
" I'll call you later." saying that Ryan cut the call.
" Old hag, still dreams about young girls. Nasty dog!" Ryan said and went to do his own business.
It was almost two weeks that Ryan has been ignoring Aurora. Aurora tried to talk to him multiple times. But he has ghosted her every single time. He was quite enjoying her desperateness thinking it's becoming easier to complete his mission.
On the other side Aurora was devastated. Never in her life she has felt this much depressed. She has stopped eating properly, crying now and then. Sofia was very concerned about her and really angry on Ryan. She tried to talk to him too but he refused. Sofia started doubting that if Ryan actually loves Aurora or not. But she didn't say anything to Aurora as she was already stressed.
Aurora has always been a good and kind hearted girl. People around her has always treated her like a princess that she actually is. This is the first time someone is treating her like a trash and that someone is her lover. The thought of this whole thing was making Sofia more frustrated. She has decided that after Mr. Mariano comes back, she will tell him to dig about this boy more. He can't be a good choice for Aurora.
Time passed more. It's already been three weeks. Actually Ryan was enjoying Auroras miserable state. So he took more time to ignore her just to enjoy her misery.
Aurora was actually miserable. She wasn't even able to sleep properly.
It was lunch time. Most of the students have gone to cafeteria. Aurora was not in mood to take lunch. But Sofia was dragging her to the cafeteria. Ryan already planned that he would patch up with Aurora that day. So he intentionally came in front of the two best friend. When they were facing each other, Ryan pretended to turn around but as he thought Aurora came running and hold his hand.
" Ryan! Please talk to me. What is my fault? Why are you doing this to me?"
Sofia was totally shocked seeing her best friends vulnerable situation. She wish she could punch Ryan's face then and there. But she controlled herself for the sake of Aurora.
