POV - (Point of View) Aurora NavarroToday, honestly, is not my day.I pray for time to pass quickly and for a new day to begin, but there was still a long way to go before the nightmare would end.I threw the coffee cup that Genevieve handed me out of the blue into a trash can after leaving Tristan's office.I'm not concerned about the situation between Tristan and me. He can continue following me and researching my life; eventually, he'll get tired and set his sights on another girl."Sister!" I called out to Adelaide as I opened the back door of the restaurant leading to the kitchen. All the cooks stopped what they were doing and looked at me. I smiled awkwardly. "Have you seen Adelaide around?""Aurora?" Adelaide said. I spotted her in front of a counter. I ran up to her and stopped in front of her. "What are you doing here?""Long story. To sum it up, I'm having a terrible day!" I said, teary-eyed, hugging my sister, who quickly pushed me away."You're so dramatic.""My life is a
POV - (Point of View) Aurora Navarro"What are you doing here?" I asked, a mix of surprise and confusion in my voice.What is Mr. Arrogant doing here? Leaning against the door of my apartment? And how did he manage to come up here? He can't even enter the lobby without permission.He probably seduced the old lady at the reception! I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened!"Who was that guy who dropped you off at the building?" Tristan ignored my question."That's none of your business!" I said firmly, crossing my arms."Is he your boyfriend?" Tristan continued with the questions. I rolled my eyes angrily at his persistence."You can't do this, demand answers from me as if I'm obliged to tell you everything I do. You can give orders to your employees and company staff, but you have no power over me.""Don't I?" he asked skeptically, taking two steps towards me, bringing us very close.Normally, I would step back, but I didn't. I'm not going to give in."Perhaps you're surrende
POV - (Point of View) Aurora Navarro"I'm here!" I said breathlessly as I entered the classroom. All eyes turned towards me, but I didn't care."Late, Miss Navarro," the teacher said in a serious tone."Don't tell me!" I replied sarcastically, forcing a smile.I walked to my seat, obliged to pass by Violet as usual, ignoring her disgusted look, and sat down.I paid close attention during the class, but at one point, I found myself wondering about Tristan. I hadn't received any sign from him today, and I hadn't even seen his car on the streets.Where could he be? Maybe at the company, busy with work, or perhaps he's charming some girl somewhere.What if he's watching me right now?!I looked around, scanning every corner of the room and every student's face, then I looked out the window. Everything seemed normal.I was brought back to reality by the sound of the bell ringing. I gathered my belongings and quickly walked out of the classroom. I was already late for college, and the last t
Finally, the weekend had arrived. Typically, it was a delight for the Navarro sisters, as it meant a break from work and college. They could spend the entire day at home doing absolutely nothing. However, on that Saturday, Adelaide was rummaging through her wardrobe in search of a decent outfit for her date with Griffin. Sometimes, she would experience anxiety attacks and consider canceling everything, coming up with the feeble excuse of being sick. But Aurora managed to convince her to give up that idea.Speaking of the younger sister, Aurora was sprawled on the living room couch, savoring her last moments of relaxation. From eleven o'clock onwards, she would be trapped with Tristan, with no idea of when she would be set free."He's here!" Adelaide exclaimed anxiously, as she looked out the window and spotted the doctor's car parked across the street."Good luck on your date," Aurora said, attentive to the television, before popping a handful of popcorn into her mouth."Thank you." A
Unlike Tristan and Aurora, their older siblings were having a perfect date. First, they dined at a high-quality restaurant, conversing about many things and laughing at some embarrassing stories.After the wonderful dinner, they took a walk in a park near the restaurant. That night, the sky was filled with stars, adding to the romantic atmosphere between them. Adelaide found the perfection of the situation strange. Whenever everything seemed to be going well, something would go wrong.That's when she misstepped and broke the heel of her shoe, almost falling to the ground if it weren't for Griffin, who caught her in his arms."You need to be more careful," he said, smiling as he noticed her racing heartbeat."I can be a bit clumsy at times," Adelaide replied, awkwardly smiling as she distanced herself from the doctor."Let's sit on that bench," Griffin pointed to a nearby bench, and they did so.They sat side by side. Adelaide took off her heel and huffed at the sight of the damage. It
Tristan stood on the escalator, heading up to the second floor, while Aurora ran to catch up with him. She was excited because she hadn't been to the mall in months due to lack of time and money. She didn't care about how she was dressed: a shirt of Tristan's that reached beyond her knees and a coat of the same size. It attracted many looks, especially from men, although she hadn't noticed, but Tristan did.While Aurora observed the clothes in the shop windows, a small group of men looked at her in a blatant manner. Some pointed and licked their lips. This bothered Tristan."Let's walk faster," he said, grabbing her arm and pulling her into the store."Don't drag me like that!" she let go of him and forced a smile at the man who approached to assist them."Tristan!" the man exclaimed with a high-pitched voice, making Aurora want to cover her ears. From the high and exaggerated voice, his bouncy posture, and how he was dressed, she deduced that he was far from being attracted to women.
Aurora was now hiding behind a potted plant, getting a good view of the garden and all the staff serving the guests. She thought she wouldn't be found there, so she screamed in fear when she felt a hand on her shoulder."Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed, placing a hand on her rapidly beating heart. "Seraphina! You'll give someone a heart attack!"Seraphina apologized, "I'm sorry, but what are you doing here?""I'm a friend of your brother, didn't you know?" Aurora replied, while Seraphina watched her suspiciously. "What? I'm serious. If you want, ask him."Curious, Seraphina asked, "Where did you two meet?""At Luna's welcome party," Aurora answered with such conviction that Seraphina believed her. However, she still found it strange to think that her brother and her "colleague" were friends.Seraphina called a waiter when she spotted him, "Please, a glass."The waiter approached and handed a glass to Seraphina, while Aurora turned her face, hoping not to be recognized, but her attempt
As if by magic, Tristan's words came true. The world and the people inhabiting it faded into oblivion for Aurora, and after much hesitation, she decided to enjoy at least a little bit of the wonderful sensation of being kissed by him. It was a breathtaking kiss. Tristan sucked her tongue forcefully, as if he had long desired to feel it, and explored her body with his agile hands, while Aurora ran her hands over his broad shoulders.It was all so good. The shared contact between them was addictive, but before the lack of air caught up to them, Aurora snapped out of her trance and pushed him forcefully, causing him to hit his back against the table, which moved with the impact, emitting a loud noise."Argh!" Tristan complained, in pain."I'm sorry..." she got off the countertop, feeling bad for hurting him, but quickly became annoyed. "I mean... serves you right! You can't just kiss me like that whenever you please.""Then tell me when I can." Tristan approached again.Before she could
