Chapter 122
Mile glanced at Aurora, the beautiful younger version of his sister Mia. “My sister Mia invited everyone to your wedding except Eli and his wife Lisa.
But Lisa came without an invitation. It’s obviously as a result of what happened yesterday” he paused and sighed. Mia was still upset with their brother but nothing can change the fact that Eli had once been good to Aurora.
“But you know that Eli is a great guy. We all have our flaws and a bad side in every human. No one is perfect, we all have our short-comings. And today, I need a favor from you Aurora, the very last I will request before you tie the knot with your heartthrob. Pick your phone and call your uncle Eli ” Mile concluded with a pleading look at Aurora.
Without another word, Aurora dialed Eli’s cell phone number and it rang but it wasn’t answered. Mile gave her a slight nod and she called again. This time it ranged for a long time before Eli answered with a deep masculine voice “Hello Aurora”
Santiago was already at the bureau, waiting for his bride to be. He kept looking at his wristwatch, until five minutes to the time and saw the latest Malaren FI limited edition.
When Aurora stepped out and Santiago saw her, she practically took his breath away. He just stood and stared at the beauty goddess before him. Aurora blinked and smiled, gush her smile was like the sunshine.
She looked at the handsome man that was going to be her husband in a couple of minutes. She felt satisfied. Santiago would finally become her’s, only her’s. Her step sister Eve Diego couldn’t win over her, the best she can ever be is being a sister-in-law to Santiago.
After an hour, Santiago and Aurora stepped out of the bureau and Santiago was Surprised seeing the entire Rowan’s family. He just wanted something quiet but didn’t expect Aurora’s mother to turn it into something elaborate.
Reporters were taking photographs and Santiago knew then and there that Aurora Rowan’s wedding was going to take the next headlines. The Rowan’s are an important family in St Petersburg and anything of theirs would definitely create the next breaking news.
Everyone congratulated Aurora, from her grandparents to her aunties and her uncle Mile. Eli stood a little far from the others with his hands in his pants pocket staring at the couple expressionlessly.
“mummy! Daddy” that was Sam and Samantha, calling out their parents. Samantha was dressed beautifully like a ballet princess and Sam wore a beautiful Suit with a necktie identical to Santiago’s. he looked exactly like the Mini version of Santiago.
The twins struggled out of Jasper Milo who held their little hands and ran towards their parents. As they made towards the car, Eli walked forward “Congratulations my dear Aurora” enveloping her in a warm embrace. He cast a contemptuous stare at Santiago and eyed him.
He congratulated Aurora alone, because Santiago, to him, does not deserve Aurora. He placed a kiss on Aurora’s temple and whispered “I am sorry about yesterday”.
Aurora smiled and that ended her grudge with her uncle. Eli released Aurora and took a few steps towards Santiago who was waiting for his wife to get into the car. He stared at Santiago in contempt and said in a hushed voice “I don’t like you!”
Santiago gave a shrug and replied “Ok”. Eli felt like shooting a bullet into his skull. Such a flippant response. Santiago on the other hand chuckled as Aurora got into the car and shut the door at Eli ‘s face. He was indeed grateful to Eli who had helped in hastening his wedding to Aurora.
Now Aurora has become his wife and Eli can reserve the likeness to himself.
