Tales Of Love

He rushed forward and gave him a resounding slap. All his agony, fear and misery were all inbedded in that single slap.

Everyone was taken aback by the slap. “You idiot, you don’t mop the cushion, you dust it” he corrected him quickly.

The mob felt his eyes grow dim with the sparkles of Stars. His eyes and chin instantly turned red.

What had he gotten himself into? This fool brought them to terrorize this woman and her children and get them packing out. Who would have known, he was going to reduce them to mere cleaner.

Millie Logan stood and watched the scene before her. She threw a glance at her daughter and the latter gave a shrug.

As if that humiliation was not enough, Grey Logan gave the manager a vicious kick “if you really came to clean the house, why did your boys beat me up?”.

The man held his stomach and tried to fake a smile despite the burning and terrible pain he felt.

“Sorry about that mister, they lack proper training as a professional cleaner” Turning to the cleaners he yelled “come and apologise to the young master.

Didn’t you know he is the future brother-inlaw of the President and you dare to lay your fingers on him?

You are both, so stupid that a simple assignment you cannot carry out successfully” he said with his eyes popping out.

Santiago Axel remained expressionless. This brainless fellow must be thinking he had fooled him with his lies.

He was going to ruin him to make up for hurting Aurora. He finished smoking his cigarette and beckoned to one of his bodyguards “see that they not only clean the entire apartment, but clear the entire pedestrian from any form of dirt” he said and turned to go.

Millie Logan hurriedly went to him with her palms clasped together. “Thank you President Axel, I don’t know what state my children and I would have been in at this moment if it hadn’t been for your timely intervention,” she said with a shaking voice.

He smiled at her and then went away. Jasper Milo came close to Aurora and whispered “the President wants to see you outside”. Aurora glanced at her mother who gave an affirmative nod.

Aurora Logan then followed Jasper outside. As they got outside, Aurora saw a Royce Rolls Silver spirit outside. She felt her heart beat faster.

This is the latest and most expensive car in the world. And this car was parked in front of her apartment?

Jasper opened the back door for her, she hesitated, but seeing Jasper nodding to her, she entered. As she sat, she turned her head and saw Santiago drinking mineral water from her split vision. He offered her a bottle of water but she declined with a nod.

He raised her head up and turned her to look at him. Before she could get a proper glare of his face, he kissed her deeply until she was almost gasping for air. She pushed him away and became furious. “Mr Axel… you… should be.. have yourself” her voice was choking as she was breathing heavily.

She had never been kissed like this before. It was a blissful moment. She wished it could last forever. Though she had been kissed before by her boyfriend Julian Brabra, it was nothing compared to what she just experienced.

“I just referred to you as my girlfriend a while ago and you didn’t debunk it. I had to kiss you to seal our new found love” Santiago said with a poker face. Santiago’s statement brought Aurora back from her world of fantasies.

She blushed and blinked several times. “Why did you want to see me?” Aurora asked to cover her shyness

“Thank you for watching my back last night” Santiago said and glanced at her. Aurora said nothing and looked away. “I’m sorry about what happened last night,” he added.

He was too arrogant to say sorry to anyone but for this girl that risked her life to save him, he had to put his pride down for her.

Aurora snapped at him with her eyes “was it you, that took advantage of me last night?” Aurora asked furiously.

Santiago nodded, accepting his wrongs. He explained to Aurora how his bodyguards had taken her to his villa and called his doctor to attend to her.

By the time the doctor finally diagnosed the kind of drug used, it was thirty minutes before it rendered her mentally unstable.

The only cure for it was for him to have her in order to neutralize the effect of the drugs. He couldn’t allow the bodyguards to do it and Jasper Milo was married.

He had to sleep with her himself after all he was the one she was trying to save. And besides, he told her that she was the one begging him for it and if she didn’t believe, he would show her his shirt that she had torn.

When Aurora heard all that Santiago had said, she wondered if he was telling her the truth or not. But whichever way , what has been done cannot be undone.

“That was my first time, how can you just take it” Aurora was scolding him. “It’s my first time as well and I had to do it. That makes it even right?” Santiago replied.

He doesn’t know if she believed or not, but that’s the truth. He’d never had that thing with any woman before.

Aurora frowned, how can this man say he’d never done it before? He’s rich and wealthy, handsome and admired by many rich ladies.

He can’t be telling her the truth. He’s obviously trying to make her feel special. Whatever, she cared less about that.

“I want to be responsible for you. If you want, we could go to the bureau to get a certificate” Santiago said calmly.

If it were any other lady, they would happily have agreed, but not Aurora Logan. She loved Julian Brabra and they had been through a lot together. She couldn’t bear to break his heart.

“No, I don’t want a marriage certificate with you. I have a boyfriend and we love each other” Aurora said.

Santiago was Surprised. He was a man admired by many ladies and some even wish, he could just wave a hand at them and here’s someone who’s not willing to marry him despite knowing that he took her for the first time.

He never knew there would be a lady who would ever say no to him. “Fine, how then do you want me to repay you?” Santiago asked.

How much can he possibly pay to compensate her for what she had lost. Her virginity gone, her job lost. All that she had left was her family and her boyfriend. “I don’t want anything from you,” Aurora declared to him.

He knew she had lost her job that morning but this stinking girl said she didn’t want anything from him. Couldn’t she even ask him for a position in his company? “If ever you want anything from me, don’t hesitate to come?” Santiago concluded.

Aurora nodded, but before stepping out, she thanked him for coming to her family’s aid today. She stepped out and closed the door.

Santiago Axel watched as Aurora walked away without looking behind. She’s thin with slightly large hips. He admired her. Not until Aurora was out of sight did he instruct Jasper to drive.

When Aurora went in, she saw the manager and his men panthing. They were sweating profusely as the manager gave Aurora a vicious look which emanates a killing intent.

If he had known this is what awaits him, he would not have received a bribe from her ex-boss to humiliate her and her family.

Now his job was at stake. His company was one of the companies under the Axel group. How much he regretted his actions.
