CHAPTER 37 : THE WAITING
~Aurora ~
Did they really gave up on me? Why wouldn't they? I have always pushed them away. I always kept a barrier between them and me because of my own insurities. But, inspite of me being so hard on them, they never pushed me away. No matter how hard I fought with them or how much I humiliated them, they were always considarate about me. They were always begging me to be with them but I on the other hand never understood how much they loved me.
Now that I'm trapped here, I have nothing else to do but think about the time I spend with my men and how much I regret hurting them. Will they ever forgive me and start over or finally let me go, like I always wanted them to. The simple idea of not having them in my life anymore is killing me. Will I ever get over them? I highly doubt that. Now that, my life is about to get ruined and still no sign of the brothers yet, I'm damn sure, I lost them forever.
"You ready, my queen?" Shit. I want to kick him where the sun doesn't shine but, right now I have no choice but to listen to him. I don't want my friend to die because of me. You heard me right. It was hard to believe that, someone so good could be anyhow related to someone so evil.
Flashback...
"Come on now princess. Its been 3 days. You have to eat something. Don't make me force feed you." His words were not just empty threat. I learned it the hard way. "I'm not hungry." God know, what is in that food that he's providing me. I'm not afraid of dying if it is poisoned but, I don't want to lose my mind, if they are adding some kind of drugs into it. I better die starving than eat something they give me.
"Now now. Its not possible to not be hungry, when you didn't eat anything since you came here, angel" him calling me angel reminds me of Titus and Turner. God I miss them like hell. Where are you guys? Please find me. "Well, if you be a good girl and eat the food I bought, I'll give you a surprise. Someone is dying to meet you." His words got my attention. "Who?" I asked confused. He smirk and bend down to my level where I was sitting on the bed.
"Patience angel. Let it be a give and take yeah? You eat the food I got you, I let you meet your...well that's the surprise you know." He said, smirking. I don't trust him at all but if he thinks I would be happy to see who ever is out there waiting for me, then it has to be someone closer to my heart. Please let it not be Aaron. Not knowing what to do, i pulled out the plate from his hands and started munching on it, like my life depends on it. Actually it was.
The food getting in my system after 3 days was heaven. I moaned accidentally, making Lukas taking a sharp breath. He had a familiar look in his eyes I'm very well known of...lust. I moved back a little to put some distance in between us. He slowly crawled over me, making me fall flat on the bed. My eyes went wide imagining what he was planning to do. "As much as I want to ravish your body right now, I have a very impprtant meeting to attend and I would like you to accompany me. So eat and get ready soon."
He pushed himself up and shamelessly adjusted his pants making me avert my eyes. "Get ready in 15." He said walking out of the room in a slow motion, much to my dismay. I finished my food and ran to the washroom to freshen up. True to his word, he came back exactly after 15 minutes. "You look breathtaking in that dress. Come on. Our guest is waiting." He said pointing me towards the hall. Without thinking much I followed him.
As soon as we reach the dining hall, my jaw hit the floor. How? I mean.. "Logan? What are you doing here?" I asked, walking towards him. He looked worried for some reason and he should be. Why he's here anyways? Did the brothers send him to check on me? That little hope died down soon with Lukas next statement. "Aurora, meet my brother, Logan. My half brother actually. " he said laughing. Now that I notice, I realised they look very similar to each other. Where Logan has a soft feature, Lukas has this dangerous aura around him but at last they look the same. Lukas is actually an old version of Logan. "What so funny about it!" Yelled Logan, walking towards me.
"It is actually. Aurora here is always getting share by brothers. Poor thing. " wait what? "She was like a pet for the Osborne brothers and now she is stuck between me and you, brother." He said the last part with venom. "Luke? I suggest you to let her go. Enough is enough. It's not going to end well if the Osborne brothers finds out your location. I suggest you run away as far as you can before the police gets to you. Or worse, the brothers. Mom's not gonna be happy about it either." He said, becoming emotional.
So they have the same mother I guess. But what bought a smile to my lips was, the Osborne brothers, they still want me in their life. They are still searching for me. They haven't given up on me yet. Lukas scoffed at Logan's word. "They don't scare me brother. They better keep an eye on their backs. Who knows what's coming for them." He said giving me an evil grin. Oh god what is he planning to do? "Auro? You ok? Did he hurt you?" Asked Logan placing a hand in my shoulder, bringing me out of my panic state.
Before I could answer, Lukas pulled me away from Logan. "Of course not brother. I would never hurt my girl, right princess?" He said stroking my cheeks with his fingers. I tried to pull away but his grip was too strong than I assumed. "Tst tst tst babe. Why do keep fighting me? You know that's not gonna work right?" He said bring his face closer to my ears. "Kiss me" my eyes bulged out of my socket. He fake pouted.
"Don't you think I have waited enough? I need excess to every inch of your body." There was no sensuality in his voice. It was so creepy to hear. Like I have never been so disgusted with anything. "In your dreams. I only belong to the Osborne brothers. Nobody else can own by heart or body. If you force yourself on me, I'll die fighting you but, never bend down infront of you." I spat, gritting my teeth.
He had a sinister smile on his face. "I like challenges." He said, taking a step back. He pulled something out of his back and before I could realize what it was I heard the bang. I screemed while Logan fell to the ground, clutching his leg. "What did you just say? You would never bend down infront of me. Let's try again." he said, taking a seat on the chair and smiled at me like there wasn't someone bleeding out to death, every passing seconds.
"Come and kiss me Aurora. And not just any kiss. Kiss me like you mean it. Comeon." God please help me. I look back at logan. He was sweating, not able to take the pain any longer. "He needs to be treated. He's bleeding out." I said to buy time. "He smiled and a genuine one. "Always an angel. See, this why so many men are madly in love with you... That is why...I'm so obsessed about you. His words made my eyebrows furrowed. What is he talking about?
"You know I fell in love with you at the first sight. When you treated my wound 4 years back inside a van, I knew you ware the one." Oh no. He was the one? Stupid stupid stupid Aurora. My instinct took the best of him and treated his wound because that's what a doctor do. Even if my friends warned me to report it to the police, I didn't do it. I wish I would have. "And since then I have been dying to bring you to me and claim you as mine." He said, walking towards me again.
"Give me what I want Aurora, if you want to save the lover boy." Do I have a choice? No. I heard Logan groan on the floor. I ended the distance between them and stood infront of me. I felt like puking when he licked his lips and opened his arms. I can't do this. Please God. Please help me. But I think, I can't stop him anymore. I tried one last time. "If you love me, then why do you force yourself on me. I don't think you're capable of loving anyone. " and like the person had a Personality disorder, he faced softened. Really?? That easy?
But that creepy smile was back again without missing a second. "Yeah I would. Only than you would be able to understand why It didn't worked with the Osbornes ever. Because you were made for me." He said taking my chin. "Come on. Just one kiss and I'll make you forget the world." I highly doubt that. After seeing my hesitation, he pulled me towards him roughly and smashed his lips on me, without any warning. I have never been forced and his breath stinki g of alcohol was not helping at all.
I pushed him away with all my might and he stumbled back with a satisfied grin. "You taste like berries. Can't have enough of you." He said, taking a chair but, never taking his eyes of me. "Please get me the first aid. We need to take out the bullet!" I said putting pressure on Logan's wound. He groaned but gave me sad smile. "Im sorry Aurora, I have a conffesion to make." Said Logan when Lukas left the room for getting the box back. "What are you talking about?" I asked him. He shaked his head, like he is regretting everything.
"Tina my sister, was send to the same institute you study and I was send to the same camp you were because, we were assigned to keep an eye on you." I can't believe my ears right now. My lab partner Tina, who I used to share all my secrets, was not my friend but a foe. And Logan, who I was ampathising right now, was just a informat for his older brother. "I'm sorry Aurora. You're here because of me. And I'll make sure, you're out of his case before he hurts you more, I promise."
I don't know what to say so, I just nodded by head to let him know that, we'll see. My future was so uncertain right now. I can't run away nor I can stay. I'm stuck with a rock and hard place. Just than few men came inside the room, followed by Lukas. "Ok. These guys will take care of my brother. You come with me, to select some wedding dresses." I looked at him like he was speaking a foreign language.
"What?" He laughed, looking at my expression. "Don't give me that look princess. You have no way out of this. You're stuck with me. After exactly 5 days, we're getting married. You're excited." He said like a kid. Creepy kid.
"I'll never marry you." I said, giving him the best death glare. "You'll marry me, whether you liked it or not. If you want to save two innocent lives. One Logan and the other, his pathetic little sister, you would do as I say...."
Flashback over.
I'm sorry Mom. I'm sorry Dad, Aaron. This is not how I planned my wedding but, I thing I don't have a choice but to marry the Mafia king to save my once friend and his brother, who I have also considered my friend, even if, it was all an act for him. I closed my eyes and suddenly 5 very handsome faces appeared infront of me, making me smile. I know they can't hear me but, I still had to say it. "I'm sorry guys. This is where everything ends. I hope you forgive me because, untill the last time I saw you people covered in blood and a threat on your lives, I didn't realize how much I love you all. How much you actually meant to me."
Please forgive me.
"We don't have all day, my queen come on." He said, dragging me out of my room towards te opened area where few people were gathered. I'm sure all of them belong to small and big gang, all over the world. And every single one looked creepy. I saw few familiar faces but, I'm not sure if I am dreaming or they're actually here. My brain is playing games with me. It is so good to be true. It's y imagination. Yeah I'm imagining.
I put my head down and walked straight to the the stage where an already pissed looking preacher was waiting on us with a frawn. "You're ready?" He asked looking at Lukas. He nodded his head for a go ahead. The preached started giving his formal introduction of why the helm we're gathered here and everything than usually follows after that. But was got my attention was his next words. "...or hold your thoughts for ever." I looked over at the crowd and nobody moved a muscle. Lukas smirked looking pleased when nobody opened their mouth to oppose this marriage. Of fucking cource.
Why would they?
"Okay then. Let's proceed.." his speech was cut short by a familiar voice, I never thought I would hear again. Or would say voices. "I object" Aaron? followed by another 9 set of voices. I cried and jumped down the isle to run towards my family. Yes my family. My brother, dad and the entire Osborne family was here. Then I heard the loud speaker outside. "Don't try to run Lukas Cage. This entire area is already surrounded. You are under arrest for kidnapping, murder, attempt murder, human trafficking and dealing with drugs...." and I took a sigh of relief, when the entire venue started filling with uniforms.
Is it real or im dreaming?
"Its real princess. Believe me, it's over." Said dad, pulling me into a tight hug. "I thought I lost you." Said Aaron, next in the line to hug me. I chucked and engulf him into a hug. I was so involved and happy to my dad and brother that, I forget 5 sets of eyes were bouring holes to my body. Do I talk to them? Do I look into their eyes ad apologize for my past behavior? Or should I just wait for them to initiate? I'm not sure of anything anymore.
"Let's go home princess." Said dad, bringing me out of my thoughts. I nodded my head giving him a smile. I didn't look back and followed by dad, with Aaron by my side. " You sure, you don't want to talk to them?" asked Aaron. How am I supposed to tell him that I don't deserve them? I shaked my head no and started walking again towards the exit. Suddenly, I was turned around and my body was slammed into a hard chest.
When I looked up I was surrounded by my men. Yes, my men. God it sounds so right.
"And where do you thing, you were going princess?" I smiled and answered.
"Where else am I gonna go?"
