Chapter 22 Someone's watching!
22\. Silent spectator is watching everything.
Freaking hell!!!
Aura loathed him more than any creature. When he smirked at her, she just could not take it.
"Hey darling, I was thinking just about you. But it seems you were occupied by somebody else's thoughts." He winked, causing her to clench her teeth.
Everything about him disgusted Aura. She despises his tone when he addresses her as baby or darling. Those bloody words sound like an abusal.
"Excuse me!" Not wanting to stay in the same air as him, she stepped aside... All ready to go.
But as she put a foot forward, he pulled her back in the trap of his hearing arms on his chest.
"What the hell is this, Mr. Dursely? Release me." She wriggled in his hold when he joined their foreheads.
Click....
"Oh darling, you owe me an apology for bumping into me." He breathed near her mouth, causing her to push her head back.
From afar, someone watching them would assume like they were kissing. Their proximity was too much to be between strangers.
"Besides that, why are you in a hurry? You never seem so when Damien holds you like this." He chirped and pulled her oddly close such that they were a hair-breadth apart from kissing.
One step from either side and their lips would latch.
Click....
"Let me go, you moron." Aura struggled but her attempts were futile across his iron hold.
"Oh come on, Aurora, Why are you always so bitter with me? What have I done to get this treatment." He nuzzled her neck, surprising Aura to such an extent that her voice failed her.
Click...
"You're so sweet with others. Sweeter with your servant's staff. The sweetest with my Casanova Alpha friend. Not fair. I want you to treat me LIKE HIM." Peter smirked, his thumb came to her bottom lip and caressed it, making her shudder away.
Click....
This was weakening her. Or you can say that her pregnancy symptoms made her weaker at this moment because she was in the arms of a man she loathed like nobody else.
Peter was a lone wolf. By lone wolf, we don't mean a desolated wolf— but we mean a bastard wolf with a perverted mindset.
Aurora's instincts always alerted her around him. This proximity with him only distressed her like nothing else.
"Before I smash your fucking face let me go, you jerk!" She found her voice again as Alpha Damien's face flashed before her eyes.
"Your tongue... It's sharper than my claws. I like it when you become abusive." He drew his face closer to her so that it looked like they were drowned in the passion of love making.
Click....
"Release me, asshole. Damien will kill you for... Touching me." She pushed him with her hands but his grip was too tight on her waist to break it loose.
"You're so mean to me, Aurora. You can let Damien touch you and do whatever he wants. But when I try to do it too, you squirm like a fish outside water." He caged her with one hand and the other he rubbed it on her lips, making her lipstick smudge.
Click....
"Let. Me. Go." She was out of breath. Tears clogged her vision and trembling weakened her movements.
She was trying harder to get out of his grip but she was helpless. The bastard wouldn't loosen his hold let alone let go. He was swaying her in his arms.
Peter did not combine their lips. Though he had a perfect chance, he just didn't. It was as if his motive was just to show that they were close like a couple, kissing and making out under a dark region.
That's what it seemed given that the primary lights were turned off, leaving only the faraway pallid lamps on. Its beam that fell on them made it occur like they were trying to make out without getting caught.
"I said let g—"
"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING THERE?" Relief filled Aura when she heard Madam Martha shriek.
Her voice was grave and sounded so stern that Peter emancipated her immediately. He stepped aside, allowing Aura her much desired liberty.
"How dare you touch my daughter, you swine?" Madam Martha took both of them by surprise when she smacked Peter in the cheek.
The blow was so hard that Peter fell down on the ground. He was so horrified at her dark behaviour, he failed to come back at her.
"If I see you around her one more time, you'll not just have it from me but also from the Alpha. Got it?" She slapped him again in warning and glowered at him.
"You better get it." While Peter palmed his twice blown cheek, throwing sharp daggers at her, Madam Martha escorted Aura back to her room.
"Thanks so much, Ma. Had you not come to my rescue, I would have fainted under his presence. He disgusts me." biting down hard on her lower lip, Aurora tried not to tremble.
Her godmother noticed her shudders and pulled her in her motherly embrace.
"It's okay, don't feel bad about it. You know he's a scoundrel. You are not the only one he's running after. There are others who are fed up with him." Said Madam Martha.
Aurora disengaged from the hug and huffed irritatingly, "I will complain it to Damien. Such people don't deserve to stay at our house."
She made Madam Martha laugh. Her anger was just like her, engaging.
"You will only be able to complain to him once you meet him." Aura looked at her. "He's not going to come home, Aurora. You will have to go and bring him back."
"Bring him back?" Wide eyed, Aurora reiterated that phrase.
"Yes, bring back. You will have to do it on your own as Brian told me about his phone's status. It's switched off and he's avoiding receiving any messages from his guard. Which only means that you will have to go there yourself."
"But Ma, I have never traveled abroad before. I don't think..."
Hissing in irritation, Aura's godmother dragged her to the washroom, "No buts and ifs. I am not taking a no from you. Just take these clothes and get ready. You are going to see your arrogant lover."
"But I really have no idea about travelling, Ma." Aura said, pinching her throat.
"Do not worry! Brian will take you there." Madam Martha's reply spread an adorable smile on our Housekeeper's lips.
Without putting any more attempts of protest, she stormed in the washroom, squealing in joy.
Frankly speaking, she couldn't not wait to see him.
"Best of luck, sweetie! I wish you victory at the battle you are going to step in. Do not return without your Alpha lover." Madam Martha winked at Aura.
They were standing outside the mansion across a car that was waiting to drive her to the airport.
"Thank you, Ma. Don't you worry about Damien, I'll bring him with me." She hugged her tightly.
"Drive her safely, Brian." She was led inside the vehicle by Brian.
He flashed an assuring grin while closing the door, "Stay assured, Miss. Martha."
"So long, darling!"
"Bye, Ma. See you soon."
Aura waved her godmother a good bye and settled in the car properly as it took off.
Madam Martha who was standing there... did not budge until the car disappeared from her sight.
When it did, she turned back to the main door, retiring to her room.
She was too delighted to notice there was a silent spectator standing behind a pillar just outside the gate, who observed everything transpire with an evil look on his face.
Once he made sure Madam Martha was gone for good, he jumped out of his hideout. He removed his cellphone from his pocket and typed in a message to someone that said,
'Job done! The Alpha's housekeeper has taken her leave from the mansion. Expect her there soon. Best of luck with your part of plan'
