Chapter 84
Aurora placed her phone by her side after she hung up with Grey. She would wait for him to call back, latest an hour otherwise, she would call him back. No one can dare mess with her family again, she would have that person skinned-alive whoever he or she is.
She was going to get even with the Diego’s: first destroy their reputation, thereby losing their partners and inventors. When the group starts falling, she appears and reinstates it as the Starlight holding branch in Florence City. Grey was going to be its CEO, that’s certain.
After achieving her aim, she would plan her trip and come face to face with Eve Diego. She had a lot of debts to settle with the likes of Eve Diego, Julian Brabra and Anna. As for Mira, she was Santiago’s sister and her kid’s aunt, she will think of ways of dealing with her later.
She had gathered all evidence and information that Larry Tom had handed over to her and Wale Jones had gotten them ready for use.
Larry Tom had swore loyalty to her in exchange for his life. But he was not to be trusted. Aurora ordered his wife and kids be taken to an unknown place where Larry can never locate them. That was the cheese in her hand to manipulate Larry Tom into doing her bidding.
She needed an upcoming reporter in Florence City and wanted Grey to act as the mediator. And of course that reporter will become famous and get handsomely paid.
Grey walked out and went to the car. Mira was already seated in the passenger space and fiddling with her fingers. He said nothing to her other than throwing her glances at every interval. He started the ignition and drove-off.
He slowed down and parked by the side of the road. He sighed and took Mira’s hand “Baby tell me what’s the matter. Have I in any way hurt you? Tell me and I will apologize”.
Mira bit her lower lip and turned to Grey with a frosty stare “Tell me Grey , do you really love me or were you only faking it?”
“How can you even ask me such a silly question, after the time we’ve been together? I admit that when we started this relationship I wasn’t in love with you. I only wanted you as a friend. But as time passed, I realized what I felt about you. And that feeling right now can only be love” Grey declared.
“Are you then still angry at my family, are you unhappy with my brother Santiago?” Mira asked.
Grey felt helpless. What has come over Mira. Why was she asking silly questions? “I was, but no more. But can you go straight to explain the reason for your odd behavior and questions?” Grey asked.
He was already becoming impatient and wondered why women were so complex. One minute they are smiling and almost throwing themselves in a man’s arm and next, they frown and become solitary.
As Grey was staring at Mira’s face and waiting for her answer, he saw her grinned. Her next words almost got him frozen.
“Where is Aurora Logan your sister?” Mira asked and stared into his eyes. Grey was taken by surprise at Mira’s question. For some seconds, he was not able to process what he should do or say next.
He released her hand and slowly relaxed comfortably, resting his head on the back seat, He closed his eyes. Mira had found out Aurora’s whereabouts. Had Santiago told her, no, Santiago was not the type who was found or prone to tattling.
The news of Aurora’s introduction as a member of the Rowan’s family was sealed off from getting unto Florence City. So she can’t possibly have read it online.
Aurora’s picture and her kids were on his phone but Mira doesn’t know his password. There’s only one possibility, Aurora had called.
Sure, that is the only possibility. Aurora had possibly called when he went to the restroom and Mira saw the caller ID. He was going to tell her anyway but wished she didn’t force it out of him.
He opened his eyes and saw Mira still staring at him. He looked away and stared outside the car. Without answering her question, he started the ignition and drove toward the company.
As soon as the car parked, Mira opened the door to step out, Grey held her wrist, she gave Grey a killing frosty stare before flinging her wrist from his grip and stepping out, she walked away.
Grey gnashed his teeth and hit the steering with his fists a couple of times until his knuckles became red.
Holy shit! How could he have been so careless with his phone? Now Mira knew he was in contact with Aurora and she’s really mad with him.
He checked his phone and saw that Aurora had indeed called and the call was answered. He sighed softly before deciding to call Aurora back. As soon as the call got connected, “Hello, first love” Grey teased.
Aurora smiled, this was what she expected when she called earlier. He would be the first to, calling her his first love, his ponytail, his cutie and all manner of funny adjectives.
“Grey where were you when I called earlier” Aurora asked.
“I went to the restroom,” Grey replied, telling her the truth. He can’t lie to those he loves. “If you were not interested in having your conversation heard, why then did you answer the phone? You made me restless” Aurora scolded.
“I wasn’t the one who answered the phone honeybun, someone else did,” Grey replied with a pained expression.
“Someone else?” Aurora asked and squinted. Who could that be? “Who did?” she asked again with a feeling of uneasiness.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
