AURORA

(Mi Corazon)

Episode 9

She tried to speak but her throat

hurt like hell and she ended up coughing

terribly.Her chest ached.

She moved back from Marco's arms.

"How are you feeling?"He asked,

concerned.

"I..."she choked out and coughed.

Marco frozed."You can't speak?"

Aurora sniffed and shook her head,

ruefully.

He quickly put a call to the doctor.

"The smoke really affected her

alot, each time she coughs,her chest

would ache, and it affected her voice box

too" The doctor explained.

Marco stared at her, sadly.She was now

sitting up on the bed.

"She'll be okay again, right?"

"Definitely.As long as she takes the

pills accurately and rest for a few

days,she'll be fine"Carlos assured.

"Thank you,doc"Marco said,

gratefully.

Carlos nodded and walked away.

Aurora stared at the different

drugs on the table.God!She hated taking

drugs more than anything but now she

had to...if she wanted to speak again.

"I'm so sorry"Marco apologized,

sitting beside her.

Aurora stared at him,he had been

apologizing to her since she woke up.She

wished he would stop staring at her with

guilt written all over his eyes.She knew he

definitely didn't want that to happen to her

and she wanted him to stop apologizing.

"The doctor said you'll be okay

again,so please don't cry anymore, I'm

sorry that had to happen to you. I promise

you, I'll do everything I can to find the

person who locked you up"He said.

She nodded.

Marco sighed seeing her face

gradually returning to it's normal state.

A knock sounded on the door."Come in"

Diego walked in.

"How are you feeling, Aurora?"He

asked.

"She can't speak but she'll okay very

soon"Marco replied.

"I'm sorry you had to go through

that. I can assure you that it won't happen

again,a new security team has been

employed so you shouldn't feel scared at

all"Diego assured.

Aurora nodded but she still wasn't

relieved.

"Thank you, Diego.I'll address them

later"

"Alright"With that, Diego walked

away.

Marco stood up from the bed,

Aurora quickly reached for him and held

his hand.

He turned to face her and could see

fear in her eyes,she was scared of being

alone.

"I just wanted to tell Ximena to bring

breakfast up to you"

She shook her head...not wanting him

to leave her side.

Marco sat down again and called

Ximena on the phone instead.

She moved closer to him and held him tightly... resting her head on his chest.

Marco rubbed his hand on her back,he

wished she would be comfortable in his

house like before.

"If only she wasn't with her

cellphone,she'd have stayed longer in the

basement and passed on, how could you be

so careless?"Camila asked.

Diego gulped down a measure of

whiskey.They were in a restaurant.

"I was in a hurry to get her in

there.Do you think it was fucking easy

when his men are always parading his

house?"He asked, angrily.

"I know it isn't but we don't have time

on our side anymore.Once she takes

in,there would be nothing more we can do"

Diego's fist clenched tightly around the

glass.

"Failure isn't in my

dictionary.Marco's going on a business

trip soon and by the time he gets back,

he's gonna look for someone else to give

him a child but before then,you have to

come to the house and make her feel

miserable"Diego suggested.

Camila smiled."Got it"

"You're a big baby"Marco teased

after he had finally managed to get her to

take her drugs.

She rolled her eyes and lay flat on the

bed.She had enjoyed the chicken soup

Ximena had made for her but each time

she swallowed,her throat hurts.

Her cellphone rang, Aurora's eyes

widened seeing who was calling.

"Who is it?"Marco asked.

She showed him the screen, it was

her mother.

"Should I talk to her?"

Aurora quickly shook her head and placed

the phone on the bedside table,she would

return the calls when she gets better.

"Do you know of anyone who has any

motive of hurting you?Does any of the

workers behave badly towards you?"He

asked, curiously.

She shook her head.They all act

formal towards her and Ximena was the

nicest of all.

"Did you see the face of your

attacker?"

She shook her head again.

Marco looked away from

her.Nothing has ever happened to his past

women while they came visiting.Did someone know of her purpose of being in

his house?Was someone perhaps trying to

ruin his chances of having a child to bear

his name?But no one knew about his

illness...not even Aurora.

Well Diego and the doctor knew but

they would never do anything to hurt her.

God! Just who the hell was this

person?

"I would make sure something like

this doesn't happen again, I'm so sorry"He

apologized for the umpteenth time.

She moved closer to him and held

his hand, trying to tell him to stop feeling

guilty.

Marco turned to face her and rubbed

her hair tenderly.

"I know, I'm a bad person, I've done

alot of mean things to people and to you

too,but I really can't let you go and very

soon, you'll get to know why I'm doing this

and I hope then you won't judge me too

harshly.Te necessito(I need you)"

The seriousness in his eyes tore at

her.

"For now, you need a good bath to

help you relax properly"He announced.

A frown shaped into her full lips.He

had fed her ignoring her protest because

she wanted to eat by herself... perhaps did he want to bath her himself too?

She moved to the other end of the

bed but he came around helping her

out.She shoved him backwards.

"Even without your voice, you're still

so stubborn"He exclaimed.

She eyed him.

"Ojos de angel(Angel eyes)"He said,

sarcastically.

She made to walk pass him but he

carried her as if she weigh nothing.

Aurora sighed, knowing she couldn't

fight him....he had warned her not to fall in

love with him but now,he's starting to

move the goalpost.

After running the bath... making

sure it was warm and foamy,he undressed

her and lowered her into it.

Aurora gulped as she watch him take

off his clothes.This was not the time to

get horny but she was horny as fuck just

staring at his manhood.

He got into the bathtub and grabbed

the washcloth.

Gently,he washed her body including

her hair.

After a few minutes,when the

bubbles started disappearing,he turned

her around and made her lay sprawl over

his chest.He recalled how it had felt when he

had no idea where she was.He wasn't just

agitated because she was someone who

would give him a child,he was agitated

because she had come to mean so much

to him...much more than he was willing to

admit.

Her breath feather against his neck

and desire shot through him.His member

growing in length but sleeping with her

was the last thing on his mind today.

Right there....in Marco's arms....she

felt happy and safe.... and loved.

What?Loved?
