Aryan has been discharged
Erica totally loved Aurelio’s idea. Why won’t she agree to it.
Her so called parents deserve to pass out and not even wake up again.
Slowly a side smile appeared on her face as she let her phone down.
Yes she wants her parents to come and see the new her.
She wants them to see the daughter they had rejected but still why does she feels somehow else from within.
“What’s the problem love?” Aurelio asked her noticing her facial expression had dropped.
Erica faked a smile at him and shook her head “It’s nothing.. thank you..” she replied but Aurelio rolled his eyes and pulled her closer to himself after taking a deep breath.
“I know you’re faking that smile with me, you should not do such whenever you are with me honey. Tell me, what’s the feeling?” he asked her and she sighed heavily
“I really don’t know what they saw or heard but they are not ashamed of themselves, I really feel my mom and dad aren’t coming to make things alright” she replied and Aurelio sighed.
He slowly wrapped his hands around her waist and sat her down on his lap.
Erica turned to him immediately with her eyes wide, she thinks this would be the first time he would sit her down on his lap.
She turned to him immediately with a questioning look on her face, he could read her facial expression and smiled.
A hand was encircled around her waist and the other slowly went up to her cheeks as he cupped her cheeks in his hands and looked down at her lips.
“Honey, no matter what they are coming to do. Just be you, give them what you have in your mind and don’t withhold any back. I know my mom would be there too, even if my Dad won’t be, grandpa should be” he replied and Erica shook her head
“I am already feeling embarrassed” she replied
“I know and believe me I understand, but still it’s good they are coming.. we will get to know and hear what they have to say, even if it turns out to be stupid. All I know is that you are not under them again but my family” he replied sweetly to her and slowly a side smile appeared on her face.
“What did I do to deserve you?” Erica muttered lowly as she crossed her hands around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.
Aurelio’s hands slowly and sweetly moved on her back.
Her eyes slowly went close, she felt comfort immediately.
There was someone to give her the hug she wanted at the moment.
After few minutes of staying in his hands, Aurelio pulled away and pulled her hair behind her ears softly.
His finger tips moved slowly on her face and that was more than enough to give her goosebumps.
Erica’s eyes were slowly closed, every of his touch always sends her to Dreamworld.
Aurelio could tell he was having effect on her and then he leaned forward to her “I will inform my mom to head home now, so we should be home in less than an hour don’t you think?” he asked her.
Immediately she opened her eyes, that wasn’t what she was expecting a bit.
Not that!
She thought he would kiss her or something but instead, he brought up her parents topic.
Erica said nothing but to look at his lips, more than a million thoughts already came rushing in to her head.
She could tell the way her body was feeling.
She was beginning to crave Aurelio’s lips.
“But still, I can’t and won’t let you leave the company without doing something I’ve been wanting to do today” Aurelio said as he wrapped his hand around her neck and pulled her slowly to his face.
It was just few Inches space away, their face were so close but they had done nothing.
Erica looked down at his lips and didn’t wait for him to kiss her, she did herself.
A smile slowly appeared on Aurelio’s face. He pulled Erica more closely to himself so he could kiss his fiancée very well.
She did same too by pulling him more close by his collar as she slowly deepens the kiss.
Meanwhile, Mr James, his wife and his daughter had already dressed up to leave their house.
Jemma just left her room in a short pink flowery gown on a white sneakers.
“Mom! Dad! Do you have to be late???” she yelled aloud.
Why would her parents delay this time around.
She sighed heavily and went to reach for her phone on the glass table and before she turned around, her parents were downstairs already.
“Oh there baby, you’re all good to go”
Her mom said to her as she walked to her and held her by her shoulders to smile at her
“What are you looking at mom?” Jemma asked her mom raising her brows at her.
“I don’t want you to look ugly or shabby in any way, you can imagine the type of mansion we are stepping into”
Her mom said to her with a broad smile on her face.
“Eh eh, it’s enough. We should just go see her first Mrs James.” Mr James said to his wife and left the house with his daughter.
MEANWHILE, AT AURELIO’S MANSION.
The car pulled to a halt in the car garage.
Erica had just finished talking to Aurelio about the car grandpa gave her, her reaction to it and all.
Aurelio was the one that drove the car home, since it was Erica’s car, he wanted to drive his fiancée in her own car since she doesn’t know how to drive a car yet.
Erica happily stepped out of her car as Aurelio did same too.
He didn’t take eyes off her a bit, right from when he stepped out of the car, he had his eyes on her with a smile on his face.
Erica raised her head up to look at him and then she noticed he wasn’t just smiling at her, he had been looking at her.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” she laughed lowly.
“it is not like I am leaving or something!” she laughed as she shook her head and closed the doors happily.
Aurelio already locked the doors with the car remote and walked to her holding her by her arm..
He went into the mansion with Erica by his side, not wanting to let her go.
Minutes later.
Mr James and his family had already arrived at the exact address Erica sent to him.
He pulled his car to a halt before the mansion. His wife, Mrs. James could not stop gawking at what she was seeing before her.
Jemma on the other hand stepped out of the car without hesitation.
The security guys by the gates spotted them and walked to them.
Erica had been in the room with Aurelio laying on his chest while he kept stroking her arms softly and sweetly.
“When do you think we should go see a doctor honey?” he asked her whispering into her ears.
She giggled lowly and raised her head to look at him “Baby, you know it’s still few weeks from now, it’s still too early to see a doctor. I am okay..” Erica replied simply with a shrug and laid back on his chest
“I know you are okay, why won’t you be okay? You have me too so you should be okay” he replied and she rolled her eyes laughing lowly.
Before Aurelio could open his mouth to talk again, he heard a knock on the door.
Erica sat up gently and Aurelio sighed heavily, he was clearly mad to hear a knock.
“And who is it?” he replied
“It’s Natasha Sir, a family is here and they request to see you sir with your woman” she replied and Erica chuckled lowly at her last statement.
’your woman'
Aurelio smiled at her and sighed “All right thank you, we’ll be down soon” he replied and tiredly turned to Erica.
“I guess they are here already” he said to her and then she walked down the bed to arrange her hair more properly.
Aurelio dressed up more properly with Erica and as soon as they were done, he left the room with her holding her left hand in his.
Jemma was seated on a very comfy chair in the living room, she hasn’t stopped looking around the living room.
It was massive and filled with expensive stuffs.
“Is Erica trying to say she’s been staying here and had the guts to say nothing about it to us?” her mom said lowly.
“what are you expecting? That she opens up to you immediately?” her husband scoffed at her.
Before Jemma said her next word, she turned to the stairs and could see Erica was really the one.
She was walking down the stairs with Aurelio Bertram really by her side and not just that, the both of them were engrossed in a conversation and then she looked at Erica’s finger to see she was really wearing such an expensive engagement ring on..
Erica took her eyes off Aurelio’s eyes, just as she turned away
The first eyes she met was that of her mother.
“Erica?!” her mom gasped as she stood up from the chair immediately she saw her.
Erica had something she hasn’t done for years now.. She had an eye contact with her Mom.
“My dear daughter” Mrs. James said as she opened her hands wide for a hug from Erica.
“Your dear what?” Erica asked her.
Aryan was seated on his hospital bed, He finally woke up and his father had just left the ward to get something cold form him to eat.
His father had told him about all of what happened that night and it just makes Aryan angrier the more at everyone that has to do with the Bertram’s families.
He looked straight at the mirror before him and could see the bandages he had around his head .
His wounds were beginning to hurt him just as a result of thinking
“Aurelio Bertram, don’t think you’ve had the last laugh”
“You know me, I am Aryan Khan, and I will stop at nothing to pull you down” he growled at the mirror as he stared at his face that was already Disguised.
It was just then he thought of what his father was telling him about what the doctor said about his condition some times ago.
“I, Aryan Khan will not give up, I will make sure non of your family stands, even to the little ones and the ones in the belly, none of you will ever survive” he seethed
“Just wait for my return Aurelio” he laughed lowly
“Wait for me, once I leave this hospital. I am coming for you and your family” he added and after few seconds, a knock was heard on the door.
The door went open as a doctor stepped in with a nurse and his father.
“You are discharged”
