A Step Closer to Love

Aurora paced up and down her living room in annoyance, she could not tell if it was the day that made her so mad or if it was because she was rejected by Kieran once again. With each step she took her annoyance rose and she only thought of what she could do to feel better.

She hated that the thoughts that came to mind were violent but she loved the way they put her heart at ease. They way they left a smile across her face. She felt pushed more to get those things done.

Arabella had offended her so it would not be wrong if she offended her as well. “An eye for an eye” she murmured to herself as she nodded her head.

“A little kidnapping and threatening should work” she added and felt an evil smile climb her face and the urge to cackle out loud strong within her.

At that very moment, she knew that she could not be alone, there was no way she could get to pull off such a thing on her own. She did not know how or what to do so she got her brother a call. He would know better about those things since he was an ex-convict.

It had been quite a while since he served time in hail and he had been cleaned ever since then but it did not mean that he would not be in touch with his friends from prison who would agree to get their hands dirty for the right price.

“Oh if it isn’t the Mrs perfect” Carlos snorted immediately after the call connected.

Arabella had tried her best to sever the relationship between herself and him because she was embarrassed by him and did not fail to let him know as many times as she could. She could not believe she needed his help. She would not have called him if she did not need his help urgently.

“How have you been?” she asked pressing her lips together and biting the insides of the mouth.

“As an ex-convict, I have to say life has been pretty tough not the same with you who lives a pitch-perfect life” he replied bitterly.

He hated the way she had treated him after he was charged and spent a little bit of time in jail. She never for once visited him not to talk or come to pick him up after he had been discharged and when he tried to reach out she coldly turned him down with excuses such as she was extremely busy.

“I need you to do something” she said as though she was trying to give a command and he burst out into laughter.

“You need me to do something?” he asked. She nodded as she felt herself biting on her fingernails. “And why would I do anything for you?” he asked.

“Because I can pay handsomely” she blurted hoping the money card would work. She knew that if anyone treated her the way she treated him then she would definitely not listen to anything they had to say but if she was correct and money was his weakness then she already had him in the palm of her hand.

“Let’s hear it”

Aurora smirked to herself as she began to feel confident about the situation. She knew he would feel moved by money and she had not even mentioned the amount. She was glad she had a savings and investment plan she could pull out if her emergency funds were not enough to pull off her plan. At that moment all she thought about was how to hurt Arabella and she was currently blinded by it.

“I need to kidnap and threaten someone for a little bit”

“What?” of all the things Carlos thought his sister would say committing a crime was not one of them.

“Yeah just for a little bit” she added nonchalantly as though she had not just asked him to commit a crime.

“Aurora, I cannot commit a crime just because you said so,” he said gently hoping that she would snap out of whatever it was she was going through at that time.

“Then maybe you can connect me with someone who would do it”

“Aurora snap out of it”

“You snap out of it,” she screamed out. “I have lived this perfect life all my years just because I thought I would have been awarded a good man but the good man I want is being taken away from me and you want me to snap out of it?” she added shouting on top of her lungs.

“So you want to kidnap who?”

“A girl who stole my boyfriend,” she said with pride.

“I cannot kidnap anyone and you would not be doing that as well”

“Why is it because you think I can’t pay? I have a lot of money stashed up, I have only ever worked my entire life so I have a lot of savings and if it’s not enough then I can pull out some of my investment too”

“Aurora, I am a reformed person now, I can go around committing sin, what if I end up in the station, my offence would be greater”

“Then link me up with someone who is willing to do it,” Aurora said in a tone of finality. She was tired of the back and forth with him and just wanted to get the help she needed.

If he was not willing to help her then she was going to take matters into her own hands and search them out herself, she knew she could do what she set her mind to, whatever it was.

“How much are you willing to spend?”

“Twenty million” Aurora said without missing a beat.

The sound of such around made Carlos feel his heart beat faster. He was in need of money and if he did it right with a couple of other guys he could be walking away with a decent share.

“That little?” he asked trying to push his luck, maybe he could discourage her. She made a sound at the back of her throat before grunting.

“Let’s make it thirty then”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
