Tales Of Love

Twenty two years later

Jasper Milo looked at the traffic light as it turned green and quickly stepped on the accelerator, increasing its speed as he raced towards his destination. His boss, Santiago Axel, had ordered him to drive to the old manor in 30 minutes against the usual 45 minutes drive .

Santiago Axel was seated in the back seat. On his thigh was a laptop and he was working on it. Santiago is the CEO of the Axel groups. Apart from being extremely devoted to his work, he was an eye candy to the female species and a prayer point to men. He is tall and handsome with a powerful aura. He threw a glance at Aurora Logan who seemed to be deep in her thoughts that she missed his gaze.

Santiago was heading to the old manor. He termed it old cause he no longer lived there but still considered the place his home. His mother had called him to come over for lunch. He had refused with an excuse of having too much work on his desk but his mother insisted that he must come saying it was his grandfather’s orders.

Santiago looked to his side where Aurora Logan sat, still in silence and lost in her world of thoughts. Santiago replayed their first meeting in his head, quite a funny and cliche meeting that happened in movies and rom-coms.

He’d been attending a business party one evening where he was a VIP and she was just a waitress. He was Supposed to be drugged but she literally saved his life even if he pulled a fast one on her, something you could easily term that day as lack of appreciation. To say the least, he wasn’t quite the gentleman the first day they met.

“Penny for your thoughts?” his voice brought her out of her thoughts as she turned to face him, hiving off a faint smile.

“What’s going on in that head of yours?” she asked jokingly with a smile and shook her head in the negative denying claims of any thoughts. But Santiago knew her so well. She was the type to conceal her feelings. You could term her as an extremely private person.

Santiago eyed her small frame and drew her closer to him which earned a small squeak from her as it was a Sudden and unexpected action.

“Calm down” he ordered in a calm voice as he placed her head on his torso which she peacefully complied to, while shutting his laptop.

“Rest” he kissed the top of her head as she snuggled into him. He stared at her silently and lovingly. Aurora Logan wasn’t just a secretary to him.

She was the love of his life and everything he wanted to keep and protect. She belonged to him. Soon they arrived at the old manor and he gently woke Aurora Logan so they could go in.

Their ears were met with loud laughter from feminine voices deep in a conversation. His mothers laughter rang out into different parts of the manor. They walked till they got to the sitting room where Madam Axel was seated all poised.
