A Step Closer to Love

Aurora tried to steady herself as she walked to the car. She hated the way Kieran had belittled her. l in front of Arabella again. She bit the inside of her mouth in annoyance as she walked away.

She got to the car and pushed herself into the front passenger seat. “You are you here alone?” Carlos’s gruff voice came out across to her as she sat down.

She felt her heartache at the fact that she was unable to finish the task to the door end. She crossed her hand across her chest and turned to him giving him a sarcastic smile. He could see she was alone so why was he trying to rub salt in her injury?

“Of course genius, I am here alone” he snorted to him.

“Why?” he asked tapping lightly on the steering wheel. “Did you have a change of heart? Is your heart too fragile to kidnap someone?” he joked and she was not happy about it and made sure to show her displeasure.

“My heart isn’t too fragile, Kieran stopped me,” she said through gritted teeth.

“Then how did they manage to stop Miss Perfect Child from kidnapping a woman and finally getting her hands dirty?” Carlos snorted.

She slammed her fist against the dashboard and turned to him. “They went to the hospital because she was sick and Kieran would not leave her side. He stood with her like a parasite and there was no way for me to isolate her”NôvelDrama.Org content.

“I told you that we should just go the old-school way. Kidnap her in a van and drop her off in a far location” Carlos said.

He was worried she would back off from paying him and his guys if the kidnapping did not seem to end. He had to make sure that did not happen.

“I guess we might have to do that” Aurora said agreeing with him. Kieran smiled to himself, he was glad he had finally found a way to talk sense to her.

“Let’s kidnap her when she is isolated. Do you have her schedule for Monday? Does she have any meetings outside that she might need to go alone? Do you know anyone who might help you isolate her?”

“I guess I can try using her office friend,” Aurora said gently. She had observed all about Arabella that it was like she was out to worship her.

“Call her up, set a meeting and it would be best if you can get her drunk, she would be easier to move” Carlos suggested.

The wheels in Aurora’s head turned with pleasure. She liked the idea of isolating her and getting her drink while dropping her in some random place towns away. She tapped rapidly on the phone before landing on Chloe’s number she smiled as she put the phone to her ears.

“Hello Ms. Aurora, what brings you to call me” Chole said as soon as she picked up. She did not know the reason she picked but just did it anyway so there would be no bad blood between both of them.

“Oh I am so glad you picked up”

“What?”

“I mean I have been trying to reach at least someone in the office but everyone is ignoring my call” Aurora lied. She wanted to seem pitiful to her to gain sympathy so she would be moved to help her.

“I know it’s because of the scene I caused the other day and that’s why I am calling’ she continued trying to maintain a sad tone.

“What about it?” Chole followed. She wanted to know more about the situation.

“I would like to apologize to the entire office but to Arabella first”

“Then call her,” Chole said.

“But she is not picking up my calls, can you set up a meeting for us tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow?” Chole asked shocked.

“Yeah call her up and ask her that we meet tomorrow”

“Okay I can do that, I will call her and let you know where we will meet”

“You are coming as well?” Aurora asked.

“Do you not want me to come?” Chole asked catching up fast.

“Well, I think it would be awkward for you to be there as well. Just set up a meeting for us and send me the time and venue, after I have properly apologized to her I would set a meeting with the entire office and apologize to them as well” Aurora said.

“You would help me set the meeting since you are the only one in the office I can seem to get across to” she added. She had to make the girl feel special to get the deed done fast.

“Okay then I would let her know you want to see her” Chole said.

“Don’t do that,”

“I should not?” Chole was confused.

“Yeah”

“Why?”

“Do you think she would agree to meet me? I have been trying to get to her but she is ignoring my calls meaning she would not meet up with me. Just act like it’s a friendly lunch between both of you and then let me know the details. I just need to show up instead of you” Aurora lied and tried to convince her.

“I don’t know if that’s a good idea” Chole was sceptical. Did she really need to be alone with her to apologize?

“What’s the worst that can happen? she does not agree to forgive Auroraurora was trying to paint herself as pitiful and like a saint so Chole has no choice but to agree.

“I am only doing this because you seem remorseful. I will call her up and let you know soon”

“Thank you so much” Aurora said as she tried to sound grateful.

Aurora waited for the call to cut off before turning to her brother with a smirk on her face. “Easy to fool those guys,” she said before dropping her phone dramatically onto her lap.

“And you are sure this would work”

“A hundred percent” Aurora said tapping on the car and gesturing for him to drive away.

“This would cost you extra money,” Carlos said trying to push his luck.

“I am ready to spend more as long as the job gets done”

“Okay then” Carlos said setting the car to drive.

As they got to the house Aurora received a message from Chole containing the time and venue, surprisingly enough the venue that Chole had chosen was off the main road so it was quite closed off, it would be an easier spot for her.

“These fools making my work easier” Aurora snorted as she went to open her door and get inside. She sent the details to her brother and his men.

“Kieran,” she said as though he was standing in front of her.

“Hold on a bit more for me, you will be mine soon enough”
