EthanI made my way to Aurora's room with a determined mind. I was so sure now, I was so sure of what I wanted. I wanted Aurora, no one else. The past few minutes have made me realize that she was the only one for me, she was the only one I needed no matter what anyone says.I was going to make things right her, I was going to choose her.I arrived at her door and knocked, there was no response but I had a feeling sche knew it was me so I said, “Aurora, please open the door, I need to speak to you." My voice was low and calm but deep down I was restless.“Go away," she said. “I don't want to talk to you. Go and meet your fiancee.” I don't know if it was me imagining it but I could hear the pain in her tone and it made my heart ache. She must have seen when Tiffany had come in during our argument before storming off. “Listen Aurora, I was wrong, now I realize my mistakes. It's you I want, no one else. I want to make things right with you, please let me in." I replied with just as muc
Aurora POVI had barely just finished getting ready when I heard a knock on my door. I smiled to myself and walked rather impatiently to answer the door. I knew who it was, I could smell him already, his smell was something that was etched into my memory. I opened the door and to my surprise I was engulfed in a bear hug from Ethan, “Hey princess, slept well?” His cheerful voice and giddy attitude made me chuckle.I pulled away from me whilst looking around cautiously, “What are you doing? Someone might see us.” I said playfully with a smile on my face.Ethan rolled his eyes and stepped in fully into the room and shut the door “Come on now, we are in your room, no one will see us here," he said as he waddled forward a bit while puckering his lips.He looked like a goofy child, his happiness was palpable and I knew exactly why.I stepped back feigning a frown and asked, “What about Arne? He's in the bathroom and would come out any minute now."“Then don't you think we are wasting too m
AuroraAll the elders were already gathered in front of the King's room when Ethan and I arrived. Without wasting a second, Ethan opened the door for me to walk in along with two representative elders and family members. With confidence in the cure, I went forward and began a checkup on Ethan's father as everywhere was dead silent, I knew everyone had their eyes pinned on me with bated breath.I checked his heart rate and vitals. I gasped as my eyes widened in surprise at what I found, it was almost unbelievable.“What is it, Aurora? What is the outcome?” Ethan asked, his eyes burning with curiosity. I turned to look at everyone present in the eyes and paused a bit for the news I was about to announce. “The cure- The cure, it...it works! It is effective!” I said our of surprise and my face broke out in a smile. I was aware the cure would work, I was certain but, I was still surprised it did. My months of research paid off.That was the only news they needed to hear as they broke ou
Aurora“There you go, we're all done here.” I said to Hadria as I placed a cotton wool on the area on her arm that I had just injected. She replaced my hold on the wool with her hand and smiled widely at me, “Thank you Aurora, thank you for saving the pack.” I smiled back at her. Hadria has always been a sweet girl. “You’re welcome, sweetheart.” She came down from the ward bed and walked out of the room. I sighed and looked at Ethan who was watching us from the corner of the room. “You are so amazing, you know that right?” he said with his face gleaming with pride, he began walking towards me, the way his eyes stared at me made my knees feel jelly.“Of course, I know.” I responded with a glowing face to the compliment. By now he had gotten within an inch of me, I unconsciously gulped because I knew what he had in mind. “My amazing Aurora,” he said in almost a whisper as his hands caressed my cheeks softly.As much as I liked what we were doing, I knew this wasn't the right time f
EthanI excused myself for Aurora and led Tiffany to an empty room in the hospital for us talk. Aurora may not know but I knew why she looked upset. The last time we met, we were in the middle of something and I just stood up and left with no explanation and I hadn't bothered reaching out since then. I admit I was an asshole for that, and I was going to be an even bigger asshole when I tell Tiffany that I wanted to call off the wedding.“Do you care to explain what happened the last time we met? I came to demand an explanation since you didn't see it right or necessary to come forward with one." Hurt, and anger laced her voice. "Tiffany," I called with a sigh, "I am so sorry for that. That was childish of me.""You don't get to do stuff and just say sorry, your Highness. What happened?” Her voice was little calmer than earlier but the hurt was still evident in it.I felt bad for what I was about to say, whether it was Aurora or Tiffany, whatever decision I make was going to hurt eit
AuroraAfter the meeting with Tiffany, I was not in a good mood to speak to Ethan so I quietly back to work. He was at fault for whatever happened and I wanted him to reflect on what he did wrong and find a solution himself.“Well well well, Doctor Rory, you seem to have outdone yourself again. I knew you could find the cure to the plague, I never doubted you even for a minute” I heard the familiar voice of Reginald just by the extrance of the ward. The news of the cure travelled faster than I thought for Reginald to be here already. “Oh please Reginald, don't flatter me” I smiled and paused what I was doing before coming to greet him properly. We had a hearty hug and found a place to seat.“You know, the first time I saw you all those years ago, I saw your potential and I invested in it without delay, I feel so proud to see your progress” He said once all pleasantries were exchanged.I chuckled and replied appreciatively, “That’s why I'm forever indebted to you. You changed my life
Ethan I hurriedly left the hospital with a determined mind, I couldn't lose Aurora again and I was going to make sure of that. I would dedicate my time and attention to fixing every mistake I had made. I was going to catch up to Tiffany and apologize and make her see reasons with me.Hopefully, she hasn't spoken to my mother yet. I could still stop her.I got to the house and went straight to my parent's wing. Just by the hallway, I could see Tiffany talking to my mother already, and I hurried to join them.Shit! I was too late.The duo had a serious gloomy face on and as I stepped into the room, their conversation ceased and Tiffany just walked out without looking at me. I was confused as to what was going on seeing Tiffany walk out like that. I turned to look at my mother, she didn't look angry like I expected her to be, instead she looked sad. “Mum, Tiffany, she…” I began to say but she cut me off.“She’s such a sweet girl, isn't she? She would have been perfect to be your wife,
Ethan“So you're telling me you and Aurora are now together, that Tiffany knows about it and that she even called off the wedding herself just to help you guys?” Sam summed up my narration of what has been happening for the past few days.“Yup” I answered with a nod. We were in my office talking because I didn't want anyone eavesdropping on our conversation. I had just finished explaining everything that he was not privy to, he was my closest aide and I trusted him not to leak it out.“Wow, how did all this slip past me?” Sam asked in surprise.“You were preoccupied with your mate and I didn't want to disturb you but now you know so we are done here.” I rapped my fingers on my knees before standing up from my seat, ready to leave.“Why are you in a rush, where are you going?” With the way Sam's brows were raised, I knew he was fishing for more.“I am going to see Aurora of course, to tell her the good news that the wedding is off.” My lips were hurting from how hard I was pursuing t
