Tales Of Love

Eli Rowan was speechless.

How was he to make her understand that they are family? This girl must have Suffered a great deal growing up.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“I will say it more carefully. I am Eli Rowan the Son of the former President of St Petersburg Luke Rowan. Your mother Mia Rowan is my elder sister.

That means I am your uncle. We only got to know about you recently, and your great grandpa almost died of shock when he heard he had a great grand-daughter somewhere.

I promised to find you and bring you back to him. I got all the information I needed from your mother and here I am,”Eli explained gently as he stood up and poured himself water.

Aurora also stood up and went to stand by the window. Her family had finally come to find her. She stood with her back to Eli . Her eyes were becoming moist, as she wished they had come a little earlier, who knows perhaps she would never have been to jail.

Her grandfather was a former President? That means she had a rich family while she was here languishing in poverty. She had lived a hard life to sustain herself while her real mother was living in abundance.

She turned and looked at Eli “But you can’t be Sure I am the one you really came to find. There might be a mistake somewhere. We need a DNA test to be certain” Aurora said.

“You are right about the DNA test. But if your answer is no to the following questions then we have to go for a DNA. Were you found at the entrance of the city orphanage on 23rd of July, year so? , did you bear any semblance with this woman whose picture I will show you now?” Eli brought out a picture from his inner pocket and gave Aurora.

Aurora stared at the smiling face of the woman in the picture. She was beautiful and she looked very much like her. This woman is certainly her birth mother.

She bore a lot of semblance with the man in front of her: that means she and this man are related. But why did her mother forsake her, why did she abandon her all these years?

Her answers to Eli ‘s questions were yes but instead of using her mouth to answer she raised her head and looked Eli in the face. With tears in her eyes she said the word ‘uncle’ like a whisper and rushed to hug him.

Eli had anticipated and waited for this hug a long time ago since the day he knew about his niece.

He opened his arms and hugged her for a long time. Aurora remained in that warm embrace and cried on his shoulders.

Eli left her to cry as long as she wanted, still leaning on his shoulder. He sighed silently, this Rowan girl had Suffered enough but henceforth, she will Suffer no more.

Aurora had wanted a shoulder to cry on since the moment she was dragged from Axel’s patriarch birthday party. Now that she got one, she utilized it.

Eli gently gave her a pat ” you’ve cried enough Aurora. The tears left for you to shed are tears of joy” He was coaxing her. After a long time, Eli said “We are leaving soon, your grandparents will be here in a couple of minutes. I’ve sent them the address of this hotel”

Only then did Aurora refrained from the embrace and snuffled. Eli offered her a handkerchief to clean her tears. “I am pregnant Uncle. And I am not married yet”.

“I already know, You don’t have to worry. The nurse I hired last night to check on you told me. Your family loves you and will protect you and the child”Eli assured her.

Meanwhile, the news of Eve Diego’s fall was the latest news flooding the internet. The photos of her tripping and her bruised nose were displayed.

She almost puked out blood when she saw the various comments.

They were making fun of her and posting annoying comments about her. The most annoying part of the news was when Santiago’s attitude of indifference was mentioned.

Even if Santiago didn’t love her he could at least give her face before the people. He just walked away and left her behind.

Since he loved Aurora so much, Aurora will bear the brunt of her annoyance. She should have lost the pregnancy by now. She will have to go to see her one more time after her recovery and end her story forever. Aurora just has to die.

Caden Diego called his assistance to take care of the news and soon it was deleted from the net.

But Soon in the hotel, there was a knock, the Rowan’s had arrived. Eli went to open the door for his parents. They called him as soon as the helicopter landed. He had arranged with the hotel who sent their chauffeur to pick them.

As they walked in, Mrs Rowan’s eyes swept through the room before resting on Aurora. She smiled as soon as she saw her. Aurora was standing with her arm intertwined.

Aurora’s heart was beating very fast. She was meeting her family for the first time and doesn’t know how to behave towards them.

Mrs Rowan saw Aurora and knew at once that she was her granddaughter. She looked very much like Mia. Her late mother in-law must have had a good gene to have grand and great granddaughters who took after her.

“Aurora” Eli called and walked towards her. Aurora raised her head and tried to say something but basically, she didn’t know what to say.

Father and mother Rowan looked at each other and glanced back to Aurora again.

” Meet your grandparents, and behind them is my wife Lisa”. Eli said, stretching his hand to bring Aurora to his side. He placed his arm around Aurora’s shoulder.

Aurora’s eyes became mois as she said ” grandmother….”
