Tales Of Love

Grey closed his eyes tiredly. He had become Suddenly weak and tired at Mira’s discovery. He clenched his fist as the name “Mira” escaped from his lips.

“Mira?” Aurora was in a daze. Grey was not fond of girls let alone one that could answer his phone in his absence. Besides she hoped it’s not the same Mira that she knew? “You mean Mira Axel?” Aurora voiced her question.

“Yes,” Grey answered and waited for Aurora to yell at him. But there was silence from the other side for a long time.

Taking advantage of Aurora’s silence, he added “she’s my girlfriend” Aurora’s lips were shaking. Mira Axel is her brother’s girlfriend? What were they both thinking? How could Grey do this, dating his nieces and nephew’s aunt?

But oh…. They were not really blood related anyways.

She remembered the slap in a flash. That slap Mira gave her that fateful day really hurts. She felt her body shiver at the thought of it.

Do they really love each other to the extent that they did not consider Santiago and her relationship? If they love each other, she will not object to it but rather Support them.

She would Support them on the condition that Mira apologizes to her. But if not, she will do all she can to split them apart.

Grey on the other end was quiet. He did not know what Aurora was thinking at the moment. Will she be disappointed in him? Will she put her grudges against Mira aside and consider how they feel about each other? He had anticipated what her reactions would be when she gets to know about himself and Mira’s relationship.

When his mother discovered he and Mira were seeing each other, she vehemently disagreed with their relationship. But he coaxed her to take his girlfriend as Mira and not as an Axel. After Mira several visits to his house, his mother started showing interest in their relationship.

The only challenge he had kept mentioning was what will Aurora think when she gets to know that he was in love with Santiago’s sister?

He told her to be at ease, that when the time comes, they will cross the bridge. And the time had now arrived, and it arrived too soon.

“Do you love her?” Aurora’s question brought Grey back to his senses. Aurora had finally talked but it was a question and he had to tell her the truth. “Yes, very much,” Grey replied.

There was another long silence between them until Aurora asked again “does she love you as well?” Grey felt his mouth dry and quickly swallowed a ball of saliva. “Yes super sis. She loves me more than I do to her”

“Congratulations on your new found love. Looks like my kids and your future kids will have something in common. The Axel blood running through their veins” Aurora said enthusiastically.

Grey smiled and felt light like a feather. A heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Aurora seconded to their love, she really approves of it? She’s already talking about his future children. Aurora has always been like this. Thinks good for others and wants people around her to be happy. No wonder her life has been blessed with so much happiness and wealth.

“Thank you sis” Grey said like a whisper. Aurora then went ahead with her purpose of calling him. When Grey heard, he smiled and told Aurora he will get in contact with the reporter as soon as possible.

When Aurora hung up, she sighs, very soon, the next morning the Diego group will be in chaos and the secret behind her going to jail will be unraveled.

But on the other hand, she was happy for her brother. Grey had found love and she wished him a long lasting life filled with love.

She remembered Santiago again. They were so much in love with each other until Eve Diego splitted them apart. She schemed against them and ruined their love life.

She wanted Santiago to spare her a glance and get attracted to her. But she saw her as the obstacle obstructing Santiago’s view to spare her a glance.

She shoved her aside and yet did not end up with Santiago. Karma’s a bitch and will always catch up with schemers..

Eve Diego tried putting out her candle light and that didn’t make her candle shine brighter. “Your fate will be determined tomorrow” Aurora said quietly within her.

At the end of the office hours, Grey quickly finished up and caught up with Mira as she stepped out of the elevator. He tried talking to her but she shoved passed him and opened her car.

Grey’s facial expression turned frosty. He had no patience to start running after a woman. If Mira indeed walked out of him, he would not try to stop her again or explain anything to her.

“If you walk away Mira, you can as well forget about me!” Gray declared and stood staring at her back view.

Mira paused at Grey’s words. Was he trying to threaten her? It seemed too obvious that she loves him more and uses that as her Achilles heel. She turned and asked “Are you threatening me?”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“If that’s how you chose to take it, fine. But don’t make me restless Mira” Grey replied. They both stood staring at each other. After some minutes passed, Mira looked away but had no slight intention of entering her car.

“Do you have any right to be angry with me Mira? After all my sister went through at the hands of you and your family members? Do you know how hard it was for me to accept my feelings for you?” Grey took a few strides and walked toward her.

“If you want an answer to your question, then let’s go to a quiet place and talk”. He walked away and got into his car.

Mira felt guilty at Grey’s words. What right does she really have to be angry at him? They’ve misjudged Aurora and wronged her. She should be pleading with Grey to help her seek Aurora’s forgiveness and not the one other way round
