Chapter 146
“Call the police, Santiago. I want these three to have a feel of what I tasted” Aurora declared. Without another word, Santiago did as Aurora said. He called the police “This is president Axel of the Axel group….”
Fear gripped Tola, she was not remorseful for what she did but didn’t want to Suffer the scandal of being referred to as an ex-convict.
“Caden, are you not saying anything? Aurora is your daughter, talk to her to let the past be forgotten” Tola urged her husband.
Caden Diego said nothing. She now agrees that Aurora is his daughter right? He doesn’t give a damn to whatever Aurora and Santiago decide to do to Tola and her daughter. This pair of a mother and daughter have pestered his life enough and they should now be responsible for their actions.
Soon the police arrived and Santiago asked that they take Tola, Eve Diego and Larry Tom away.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Eve Diego stared at her father with a teary eye “Dad!!” Eve Diego called out but the latter refused to see her tears nor hear her calling him for help.
“Do you still have the purity to refer to someone else as swine?” Mia asked with a broad grin. She looked at the now red eyes of Tola who eyed her still in contempt.
Aurora gave a smirk. She enjoyed seeing this scene of Tola and Eve Diego being led away by the police. She wished they rot in jail and never get a chance of freedom ever again.
Now only four adults were left. Caden Diego stared at Aurora. “I am sorry to have laid charges against you back then. I didn’t know those who perpetrated those evil are those who shared my bed and ate with me at the dinning ” he apologized and seemed filled with regrets.
“I am sorry Mia for turning my back against you and our daughter back then. I wished I didn’t do what I did. Please forgive me” Caden pleaded.
Caden Diego has a good heart and a very considerate person. His good nature coupled with Mia’s easy going attitude made up Aurora’s rich heart of Kindness.
“It’s ok Caden. The past is gone and let’s leave it as the past. What’s important now is that we have a grown up daughter and a wonderful son in-law” Mia replied and for the first time since she saw Caden that evening, she smiled. It was a sincere smile.
“Thank you Mia,” Caden appreciated and smiled back at her.
Turning to the poker faced Aurora, Caden Diego said in a solemn voice “Aurora dear, will you be kind enough to accept me into your life as your father?” Santiago felt touched by Caden Diego’s statement.
He knew how it felt to see your own child and can’t get close to her as a daughter. He knew how that emptiness felt and he also knows that except that child accepts the father that vacuum remains unfilled and often the yearning increases daily.
He felt that emptiness the day he discovered that he had kids and couldn’t get close to them as their father.
If Aurora hadn’t forgiven him and accepted him back, he definitely would be drawn to commiting suicide.
“Aurora please, Accept your father. He’s already apologized to you” Santiago chipped in. This was the only time he came into their discussion.
CEO Caden was grateful for what Santiago said. He least expected that he would be on his time this time. He kept waiting, just staring at Aurora and then Mia, then back to Aurora, alternating between them.
Santiago tucked at Aurora with a pleading look. Aurora looked at her mother and the latter gave a shrug.
Gently, Aurora stood up and quickly, the ever ready Caden stood up, with his arms opened, he took the steps to go to Aurora and there was a hug that lasted a long time. “Father!!” Aurora said and started sobbing.
She yearned to call someone her father for years. She never got a father’s love. Even when she found her mother and was welcomed into the Rowan’s family, she still had the vacuum of a father left in her life.
She never thought she would have someone to call her father in this life. But today, she met him and she could call him her father. Her life was now complete. She has both of her parents, a loving husband and two lovely kids. As for money and wealth, she doesn’t have a problem with that forever.
Aurora was sobbing very loudly now. All her emotions got loose and she poured it out in sobs. She was even snuffling.
Santiago stood up when he saw Caden Diego’s eyes go red. He was feeling bad for allowing her to suffer so much. He often saw her and didn’t know she was his.
He went to the father and daughter pair who both poured out their emotions. Only that way, will they empty their bowels and have a place to keep the other in their hearts.
Next Caden hugged Mia and asked for the uptenth time that Mia forgive him. The latter said her ears were already filled with his apologies that she felt like closing her ears from hearing more.
That night, Caden couldn’t sleep. How could he have become so negligent not to notice anything amiss. He had trusted Larry Tom with his life, loved Tola and their daughter Eve Diego. How could he have predicted that they had hands in making Aurora tripped?
Tola and Eve should get a good lawyer to defend them in court because he would do nothing to help them .
But he is certain, they have no strength to compete with Aurora’s present status. Aurora and Eve are both his daughters. If one of them tries scheming against the other, then the schemer should have enough stamina to withstand her sister’s fighting back.
As for Tola, he’s done with her. First thing tomorrow morning, he’s getting divorced with her. His life had taken a downward path since Tola came into it. If she had agreed to listen to him, Eve Diego wouldn’t have ended up a vicious scheming girl that she is today.
Aurora was happily married despites all odds, but will Eve be able to get a suitable Suitor? With so much scandal that has engulfed her life.
