Chapter 65
Milli Logan sighed, she had been guessing why Mia wanted to have a talk with her, she now knows.
She started by narrating how Santiago had first come to help them. That was when they were about to be thrown out of their house.
She then narrated how Santiago had stood by Aurora when she was involved in an accident the day her boyfriend got married to her friend.
Santiago had gotten the best surgeons to operate on Aurora when she had a pelvic dislocation. Ever since then, they became acquainted with each other and they were admitted by all as best lovers.
Months later, the young Miss of the Diego family came back to the country and Santiago’s mother and grandfather told the latter to break up with Aurora.
But Santiago would not listen to them but rather got more addicted to Aurora. When Aurora discovered she was pregnant, she chose not to tell Santiago until she announced it at his grandfather’s birthday.
It was at that birthday that things fell apart. The patriarch of the Axel family had wanted his grandson Santiago and Eve Diego, the young Miss of the Diego family to get engaged at his birthday party.
It was at the same birthday party that Aurora intended to tell Santiago publicly that she was pregnant. But that day was a day ever to be remembered by Santiago and Aurora for the rest of their lives.
She and Grey had been kidnapped and they were used to threaten Aurora into committing a murder that she never did.
Reports were forged claiming that Aurora had an abortion and even poisoned Palmer, Santiago’s mother.
Aurora went to jail and Santiago was too angry to care about it. He paid the prison warders money to prevent anyone from seeing Aurora.
We were told that president Axel had placed an embargo preventing anyone from seeing her.
What hurt Aurora the most was not the fact that Santiago didn’t trust her, nor that CEO Diego laid charges against her for murdering his trusted bodyguard but because Santiago made a public announcement that severed their relationship.
He said all manner of unhealthy words about her and publicly denied having any emotional relationship with her.
I tried to see Santiago to plead with him to help get Aurora out of prison, but he seemed to be obsessed with her and refused to see me.
Grey and I decided to sell our house and raise money to hire a lawyer, only for us to hear that Aurora had escaped or rather rescued from prison.
Milli Logan’s tears dropped and she snorted. She took out a tissue and wiped her tears. Mia listened quietly all through Milli Logan’s narration and felt a surge of emotion in her conversation.
Aurora and her foster family held a bond, a bond that was not formed by blood but by love. She was Aurora’s birth mother but Milli Logan raised her and they shared memories she would never be able to have.
But, who was this CEO Diego and his daughter Eve Diego? She hoped her guesses were wrong.
“Thank you for taking me through your past experiences and Aurora’s. But who’s CEO Diego and his daughter Eve?”
“Eve Diego is the daughter of Caden and Tola Diego…”
All through their way home, Mia had suddenly become moody, she didn’t feel like saying anything.
Caden had laid charges against his own daughter unknowingly and sent her to prison.
Hadn’t she committed a great sin in this life, she had a baby and abandoned her, Caden sent her to prison.
What sin had Aurora committed in her previous life to have parents who made her go through this inhuman treatment from her parents in this present life?
It’s all her fault, she was to be blamed for all that happened to Aurora. Perhaps she should have aborted the pregnancy back then as Caden pleaded to her to, Aurora wouldn’t have to experience so much pain and heartbreak.
But then, why abandon her baby and not return to find her after a year or so? She doesn’t deserve to be called a mother.
Aurora’s own sister Eve Diego plotted against her and her father sent her to jail. Those were unpleasant memories and when Aurora finally got to know about her father and sister, how was she ever going to react?
Mia rested her head on the back seat and closed her eyes, tears streamed down her face. She looked devastated and confused.
Milli Logan stole a glance at the elegant woman sitting beside her and saw her tears. When She talked about Eve Diego and her parents, Mia’s facial expression turned pale and then to that of a shock but later it showed confusion and sadness.
She didn’t say anything after that, only beckoning to her to come along. They got into the car and came this far.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
The car finally drove into Rowan’s mansion. Milli Logan was not comfortable with the cold atmosphere. They had started out happy and cheerful and only to return with a cold expression?
When the car drove into the parking lot, Mia’s eyes were still closed, obviously lost in her thoughts.
The chauffeur parked properly and looked at his boss from the rear mirror, madam would have ordered him to stop and stepped out before getting into the garage. But his eyes locked with Milli Logan’s and the latter signal to him with a nod to excuse them and he did.
Milli Logan placed her hand on Mia Rowan’s shoulder and said “Mia Rowan, I remembered you introduced me in the boutique as your friend, if indeed I have the privilege of being called a friend by you, then I beg you to share with me your fears, worries and anxiety as you would to a true friend”.
Mia Rowan opened her eyes slowly, the driver had gone out, leaving her and Milli Logan alone in the car. She knew already that they were at the underground garage.
She might have closed her eyes, but she was not sleeping. When the chauffeur maneuvered, she knew they had entered the garage.
She looked at Milli Logan and placed her palm on hers, giving it a slight squeeze. She will forever be grateful to this woman. She’s the only one ever so true to Aurora and her heart holds nothing else for Aurora than love and that is crystal clear.
When Milli Logan saw her eyes, they had become red in such a short time, this woman had cried that her eyes had gone red? Wasn’t she, the same bright, elegant and graceful rich lady? How could she have cried so much? So, the rich also cry?
