Aurora smirked looking at Charlie.
" Nothing. Charlie! Feed me. I'm hungry." Aurora said while looking at Charlie with doe eyes like a baby.
" She did that last night too!" Lucas and Harry said together loudly.
" Hasn't the drug effect gone yet?" Leo asked being confused.
Charlie kept standing there being dumbfounded while staring at Auroras puppy eyes. There was going on storm inside him. He just wanted to hold her and never let her go. But he didn't have the right and Aurora has proved today that he can never have that right. He was hurt. Badly hurt by her words. His heart was still paining but somewhere inside his heart was still screaming to hold Aurora closer and cherish her forever.
" Why aren't you saying anything? Won't you feed me?" Aurora said pouting. Her eyes were glistening.
This time Sofia and Antonia became shocked too.
Was Aurora acting cute to get Charlies attention? Or she was actually desperate for his attention and love? Sofia and Antonia looked at each other and again at Aurora.
" I think you should feed her. I have some work. I have to go." Antonia said and hurriedly went out.
" I have some work too." The heirs except Charlie said and followed Antonia.
" Is she fine? The drug is still working I guess." Harry said frowning after coming out of the room.
" I haven't seen her like this ever." Antonia said sighing.
" She is behaving like before. When her life was like a fairytale." Sofia said with a soft smile.
" Really? She was like a baby back that time then." Lucas said.
" Uncle will be happy knowing finally his angel is removing the shell around her and coming out of it. After years I'm seeing her like this." Sofia said with glistening eyes.
Antonia hugged her and said, "Let's wait and see her changes."
Everyone nodded and went downstairs.

In Auroras room, Charlie sighed and took the food to feed Aurora. He sat in front of her.
" It's already passed lunch time. Still you are in an empty stomach." He said while feeding her.
" Have you eaten?" Aurora asked while eating. Charlie stared at her. She was looking too cute.
" No. I'll eat later." Charlie said.
" Let me feed you then." saying that Aurora took some food and hold in front of Charlies mouth.
" I'll eat later." He said.
" Eat!" She said stubbornly. Charlie sighed and ate from her hand. Aurora giggled seeing him accepting his defeat. Charlies heart fluttered hearing her giggles. They kept feeding each other. Soon they were done.
"I should go now." Charlie said and was about to stand but Aurora held his hand.
Charlie looked at her. She made him sit in front of her again. Charlie sat staring at her if she wanted to say something.
" I'm sorry for my harsh words. I was really out of my mind Charlie. I know you don't know my perspective so you won't.. "
Charlie didn't let her complete.
" I know everything about you Aurora but you don't know a single thing about me. Not that I'm complaining, you don't have any reason to know me well like I do. I love you that's why I'm curious about you and I know what perspective you are talking about. Well if you had known me a little bit better, then you would have found out that never in my life I have touched a woman without her consent. I'm not saying I'm a good boy but I'm not the worst either Aurora." saying that Charlie removed Auroras hand from his and went out of her room.
" He knows about my life? From whom? How much he knows?" Aurora thought to herself.
" I don't like him calling me Aurora at all." Aurora said frowning.

Somewhere in America,
" What? Henry is dead?" Mr. Richard asked shouting.
" Yes Sir. He kidnapped two of the heirs. Venom came and took them out. Henry was killed brutally. No one was alive so I don't know the full story."
" This Venom is really something. Well doesn't matter. Now everything is on your shoulder. You know what you have to do now." Mr. Richard said smirking.
" So should I execute our first plan now?"
" Yeah of course. I'll come as soon as you execute the plan. By the way what about those members?"
" They have refused to talk let alone eat. What to do with them now?"
" I'll handle that. Keep them like that."
" Why are you not torturing them to get some information about Venom?"
" There is a risk. I will see what to do after coming there. Best of luck with your mission. Make sure not to get caught."
" Sure sir."
Mr. Richard cut the call.
" Let's see how long you can protect those little shits Venom." He said smirking.
It was afternoon when Aurora went downstairs. She saw the heirs and Antonia was there watching a show on tv.
" Do you guys want to eat something?" Aurora asked while going to kitchen.
Everyone looked at her.
" Are you going to cook in this condition?" Antonia asked.
" It's not like I have had a major operation. Stop overacting." Aurora said rolling her eyes.
" Brat!" Antonia said rolling her eyes too.
" Just like you." Aurora said winking at her. Antonia glared at her.
Everyone chuckled seeing their interaction.
" What are you going to make?" Sofia asked.
" That's a surprise." Aurora said smirking. Then she went inside the kitchen.
" Shouldn't someone help her? It will be hectic for her." Charlie said.
Everyone looked at him. " You should go then." All of them said together.
" Never mind." Charlie said sighing and again concentrated on the show. He was actually dying to go there but he won't. He needs to learn to stay away from her. He had to control his heart.
After one and half hour Aurora and a maid came out of the kitchen.
" Serve them." Aurora said. The maid served them the food Aurora prepared. Aurora looked at Charlie and found him staring at the food. The maid went inside.
" You have prepared dessert when you don't even like sweet that much." Sofia asked furrowing.
"Moreover you shouldn't have any sweet now. It can have side effects in this situation." Antonia said.
" I know. I haven't made this for me. It's for someone else who thinks I don't know a single thing about him." Aurora said sipping on juice that she made for herself.
Everyone understood whom she meant. Charlie looked at the Panna Cotta and again at Aurora. This was not something everyone knows. Only his mom knows about this. His mom always prepares this for him whenever he feels down or he is upset or he is angry.
" Eat it. I have followed someone's recipe for the first time. Let me know how it tastes." Aurora said.
Everyone tasted it. Charlie again became shocked as it tasted the same like his mothers. He understood that Aurora had learnt it from his mom. But why? What did she mean by preparing it?
