Chapter 42: ARE YOU BREAKING UP WITH ME

NICHOLAS'S POV

I have been trying to contact Aurora for three hours neither she is picking up my calls nor she is replying to any of my messages. The whole day I was so busy that I didn't get time to call her so now that l am back in my penthouse, 1 am trying to talk to her to give her the details of our departure.

Although I am taking my private jet, yet I want to know if she is okay with flying or if she has problems with heights. Because I have heard from a lot of people that they struggle in the aeroplane because of their fear of height.

Suddenly, my phone starts ringing and I get excited thinking that it might be Aurora, but my excitement dies down when I see that Arthur is the one who is calling me.

"Hello, Arthur! Why are you calling me so late?" I ask because I know he falls asleep by this time.

"Bro can you come quick to my house?" He asks sounding too panicked for my liking.

"I will be there soon." I reply and pick up my car keys before getting out of the penthouse.

Soon I reach there and find that Arthur is holding Aiden in his arms who is shivering badly. Jacob is present too who gives me a worried look.

"Arthur, you talk with Nicholas. I will be taking Aiden with me." By saying this Jacob picks up Aiden in his arms and walks upstairs making me look at my best friend to see that he is extremely angry.

"What happened?" I ask.

"Here, look at this." Arthur says handling me a photograph of him and Aiden which has red cross on their faces.

"Aiden was playing in the nearby playground with his friends when a man come up to him and give it to him. When my baby saw the picture he instantly got scared and asked his friend's mother to drop him home.

After that he is constantly crying or shivering in fear. I don't know who can do suck things to a child who is now completely traumatized." Arthur further explains making me wonder who can it be.

"I will suggest that you put security around Aiden as we don't know who can be behind this. Also, it will be futile to ask any help from police as we don't have any leads. But I think we can take help from my private investigator who is very quick in his work." I suggest the best that comes in my mind.

After spending some more time discussing about the matter with Arthur, I decide to go to Aurora's apartment to see exactly what's going on with her. But when I reach there and ring the bell she doesn't open the door for me. I think she is may be sleeping so I again dial her number but same happen as before. Now, I am seriously getting frustrated because of her behaviour.

"Aurora, I know you are inside because the door is not locked from outside so you better open it or you won't be liking the consequences." | let out in a strict tone than I intend to but tiredness is getting on my

nerves.

Thankfully, after a few minutes she opens the door and without saying anything let me in. I directly go towards the living room to find Skittles sleeping on the couch so I don't disturb her beauty sleep.

"What do you want?" Aurora asks quite rudely which is so unlike of her.

"What do you mean by what I want? I have been trying to contact you for so long but you are not picking up my calls or replying to the messages. Can you please tell me what's going on with you?" I ask with irritation clear on my voice and I don't even have the energy to hide it from her.

"I don't have to pick up your call everytime or reply to your messages.

Also, I don't have any mood to talk to you so it will be better if you leave me alone." My mouth hang open in surprise hearing her words. I mean she is my precious Aurora but her tone is so unlike of her.

I think there is something bothering her badly and that's why she is behaving like this. Otherwise my sweet girlfriend can never talk like that.

"Precious, what happened to you? Are you not feeling well?" I ask getting up from the couch and go to hug her but she holds her hand making me halt.

"I am not a kid that I have to answer all your query like you are my parents. Look, Mr. Moretti I really don't want to talk to you or see you again in my life. So, kindly leave my apartment asap." She says looking at me with a blank face like she hasn't just broke my heart with her cruel words.

"Are you breaking up with me?" I ask the first thing comes to my mind.

"Wow! Without saying anything properly you have understood what I am trying to say. So, yes Mr. Moretti I am breaking up with you.'

"She replies shrugging her shoulders.

"The hell you're breaking up with me! I will not let you do this at any cost." I growl holding her arms tightly not caring if I am hurting her.

"See! you are same as Matthew. Controlling and egoistic who doesn't care about what I want. I really regret even giving you a chance to be in my life because you have made my life a living hell!" She screams looking at me with hatred in her eyes and that's enough for me to leave her place without saying or asking anymore.

I get inside my car and drive in full speed not caring of breaking any signal. I just want to get away from here, get away from the hurtful words that's got thrown on my way by none other than Aurora.

How can she break our relationship so easily without showing any guilt or pain? Not only that, she compared me with that Matthew! When did I control her or made her do something she didn't want?

Yes, I admit I didn't treat her well or try to control her like I do to other girls, but she made me realise that not everything comes from controlling. So now that everything is fine, we are living happily amongst us, so why all of a sudden she needs to break up with me?

Suddenly my car collides with a truck and before I know it, my car gets turn over making my head come in contact with the steering wheels making me feel dizzy. However, I don't even get time to recover because next thing I know that the truck has intentionally run over the car making it impossible for me to get out. I can feel blood running out of the side of my face and my body feels like I don't have any energy left to move. Still I try to get the seat belt open but soon everything turn black around me.

My eyes seem very heavy yet I want to open them. With a lot of struggle I finally get to open them but then get surprise seeing that l am in a hospital room. Suddenly the incident from earlier come to my mind and I realise that someone may have brought me here.

I look around the room but see no one is here and also there are a oxygen mask over my nose and mouth so I can't even call out to anyone.

Thankfully the door gets open and walk in my sister who looks like she has been crying for a long time. Upon seeing me awake she rushes near me and start checking up to see if I am in pain or anything else.

Soon enough the doctor also walks inside the room and thankfully take off the oxygen mask which makes me feel better. After checking up he tells me that I need to take care of myself as my left hand is broken. Also he tells me that I need to take at least two weeks of bed rest to get better quickly.

"You are such a good driver, bro. Then how did this accident happen?"

Evelyn asks after the doctor left the room.

"While driving, my focus was on something else. Then a truck came and rammed into my car. At first I thought that the truck must have collided by mistake. But when the truck hit my car again, I understood that whatever the driver was doing, he was doing it intentionally." I explain the best I can.

"The police are looking over this case of accident because that this accident is intentionally done to harm you." She says but I don't much attention to her because my mind is still stuck to Aurora's words.

"Does Aurora know about my accident?" I ask.

"The people who brought you here after saving you, tried to call Aurora because they found her number on your speed dial. But she didn't pick up the phone so they next called me. I have also called her numerous times but she is not picking up my call too. So, now Jacob has gone to her apartment to inform her about your accident." She replies worriedly.

"Tell Jacob to come back." I let out surprising her.

"But why bro? Is everything not okay between you and Aurora?" She asks.

"She has broken up with me just a few minutes before the accident happened." I reply.

"What? But why, I mean you guys were happy with each other then why the sudden decision of break up?" She asks.

"You should ask your friend because she has broken up with me. So the answers of your questions should come from her." I reply blankly.

"Bro, all these things can be discussed later. You should rest now because that is more important." She says while | just look at the door with a tiny hope that my precious will come to meet me and whatever

she has said will turn out to be a bad dream.
