Chapter Eight
"Thanks for your help, now you may leave!" I said with clenched teeth.
"Hey, no need to dispose us so quickly." Brandy said.
"We were about to leave already." He added and signaled Greg and Josh to the exit.
"I'll try the best I can to keep an eye on your little damsel." He said before shutting the door as quickly as he could.
I sat still on the chair facing the large doors of the mansion, waiting to see if it would open again to reveal Aurora.
Would she come?, most definitely not.
I hated to get my mind clouded, but she seemed to do just that.
How would I be able to get her to sign a married contract?, that was a question I knew no answer to..
But all I knew was that it would happen and she would be in front of me again..
With those innocent but fearless eyes..
I ran my hand through my hair with a sign and got up from the armchair, then I walked lazily up the stairs.
Opened the door to my bedroom and walked into the bathroom
As the water poured slowly on me, I felt as though all the tension I had felt a while ago had all been taken down the drain.
My mind yet again went to Aurora and I had to turn off the shower.
I walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist and one on against my shoulders..
My phone beeped and I looked down at it on the table reading a message from Brandy.
He always had a way of putting a slight smile on my face even when I hated it.
'Your damsel is really one of a kind, she has just dressed as a man just to get into the club'
He attached a laughing emoji to his message and I had to control myself from laughing out loud as I imagined Aurora in a man's suit.
Of course I knew she would do a thing like that.
Before I could reply to Brandy's message to ask him if no harm was done to her, he sent another message making the phone beep again.
'But I made sure they knew that she was your little kitten, so you don't need to worry, Julieeeee. No harm was done to her'
The fact that he had called me that name again and even emphasised more on it with the 'eeee' made me want to strangle him right now, but I was more concerned about Aurora.
So I was glad when I read his last sentence.
'Okay' I replied.
I switched off the screen of the phone and laid on the gigantic bed with a heavy sign.
I narrowed my eyes to the wall clock to check the time and found out that the day had already faded away so quickly.
And tomorrow would be the day everything would either get fucked up or turn out to be great.
Before I could think further about how messed up I was, I drifted off to sleep…
…
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock buzzing like a crazy bee and I wondered who on earth had the nerves to set up the clock to such an early hour of the day.
7:00 pm- yes that was how early it was.
The phone which was still resting on the bedside table suddenly beeped, awakening my senses.
I reached for the phone and checked the caller ID to see who on earth had the nerve to call me at this hour.
Low and behold, it was Brandy!
I knew only he could do sure pranks and would still dare to add more petrol into the already wide spreading fire.
I picked the call, turned it on speaker and placed it back on the table.
"What do you want, Brandy?" I said with a tired tone.
"I'm glad you are up already." He said with a chuckle.
"It looks like alarm clocks also work for Devil's too" He added with another round of laughter.
I could already imagine how large the grin on his face would be- his normally annoying grin that could make one desire to land a heavy slap on his face.
"You have won now, Brandy. I'll get you sometime." I said and hung up the phone.
I sighed as I walked into the bathroom for my morning shower.
I was somewhat grateful to Brandy because I had a press meeting this morning and needed to be there as quick as I could.
Although he could be a pain in the ass sometimes, he was always very helpful especially in cases like this..
'Oh God, Aurora again.' I held my head with both my hands as the thought of Aurora came rushing in like water rushing into a sinking boat.
Why was she always in my mind?, I asked myself.
I managed to regain myself and rushed to take my medications as occasions like this could trigger my anger issues.
I sighed in relief as the pill walked it's way into my body and again I headed for the bathroom.
After ten minutes I walked back out and walked over to visit my wardrobe…
Normal people would have dressing rooms but what about Julian DeMarco…
Yeah.. people would say that I needed spiritual assistance but I felt that all I needed was to be heard..
Aurora understood that, and that was why I loved her charisma.
I sighed again as Aurora had once again come into my mind.
I picked out a suit, tie and a pair of trousers from the wardrobe as I needed a formal attire.
But..yes I hated wearing formal clothes, that was why I spent most of my day in my underground world- My Mafian empire.
No one understood me so I kept my world far away from everyone…. excluding Aurora.
But why?
I myself had no idea..
I also wanted to know why..
I lazily put on the outfit and walked lazily down the staircase as usual till I got out of the mansion and into my SUV.
Since I loved to drive myself I had no driver and that made my life more private- I guess…
I inserted my car key to the key hole and the car sound came almost immediately, then I rolled the steering wheel and the car moved backwards..
Once I was out of the mansion, the gates closed automatically and the engine accelerated into the busy road.
