11 Don't Look Down On Yourself

Soon they arrive home, Aiden stomps to his room without saying anything. Aurora knows he's angry but why? Why he has to get mad like this rather? It makes Aurora confused.

"What's wrong with Aiden?" Jake spokes.

"I don't know either. I just ask him about one question then...he acts like that so sudden." Aurora answers.

"What did you ask him?" He asks curiously.

"I just ask him...about 'did I deserve any love?' that's all." She said. Jake chuckles and sits on the couch.

"I think...he angry that you look down on yourself. He hates it when you think like that." Jake responds.

"I know but why he has to act like this? It not that I'm his...girl or what." She hung her head low.

When heard Aurora saying that it makes Jake turns around to face her. "That the mistake of yours. Don't think like that. He loves you. Even he just met you recently, but he is already addicted to you. Aiden tries his best to make you comfortable with him and accept him. Trust me. He will do anything to protect you from harm."

Aurora stares at him then looks away. When he said that, she feels more guilty. She keeps pushing him away like he some kind of stuff. She can't help it though because she just met him recently. Why he should love a person like her?

"If you need my advice, I advise you to go and talk with him. He can't stay longer part from you." Jake smirks.

"Wait. I think...I have a better way." Aurora grins at him. "As you said, I know he can't stay longer apart from me. I want to let him come to me."

" Someone's playing hard to get, huh?" Jake laughs.

"I'm not. I just...want...to give him a chance to prove himself if he loves me." Aurora states.

"Well, okay. Good luck and trust me. I bet he will go to you tonight." He said.

"That too fast." Aurora frowns.

"It was Aiden you are talking about right now, lady. He is ADDICTED to you." Jake focuses on the television back.

Aurora shrugs her shoulder and walks upstairs. When she about to opens her bedroom door, Aiden comes out of his room. Their eyes met and Aurora just standing there, staring at him.

Meanwhile, Aiden. He thought she will say something more like apologies or trying to make it up with him. Instead, the girl just walks into her room and shut the door close. Aiden standing there in surprise and confusion.

"Did she...just walk away?" He mutters.

He shakes his head and thought maybe she needs time. Jake saw him went downstairs. " What's up?" Jake spokes.

"I got a call from him," Aiden speaks.

"What he want this time?" Jake sneers.

" I don't know but I know it's not something we will like. Move your ass, we're going to meet him." Aiden grabs his key and walks toward the door.

"What about Aurora?" Jake spokes.

"Don't worried. She will be fine. Let's go." He said.

As they arrive at the mansion, a lot of bodyguards points their gun at them. But their reaction just blanks as if they used to it already.

The door opens reveals one old guy, around 50 like that. He wearing a suit and smirks at those two.

"Aiden!! Long time no see!!" His fake greeting is so obvious. But, Aiden didn't care about it.

"Spilled it out," Aiden demands.

" Don't be so cold, Aiden. Your father and I work together before. How can you rude to your uncle?" He chuckles while signing the bodyguards to low their gun.

"My uncle wouldn't kill own father," Aiden says.

" It was an accident." He responds.

"Accident? He was right in front of you that time!! And guess what!? You just left him!!" Aiden yells at him.

"His son also the same as his father." The old guy mutters.

Aiden wants to kill him for sure but Jake holds his arms to calm him down. They can't kill him yet because the contract still with him. There are so many times he tries to find it and destroy it.

Aiden let out a heavy sigh. " What do you want, Jason."

"I know we're not on good terms but...do you perhaps...take something from me?" Jason asks.

" What are you talking about? The thing that I want to take from you is your life. That's all." He scoffs.

"Oh. Okay. Are you sure you didnt take anything from me?" Jason asking him again.

Somehow, it makes Aiden curious. about what thing it is. He just simply shakes his head. His uncle, Jason, exchange a look with his second hand.

"Well, I'm sorry for the call you here for...no reasons, Aiden." He said after glares at his second hand.

" It okay." Aiden turns around, without saying goodbye or anything, he just walks away.

The both of them get into their car and Jake starts to drive. The atmosphere is silent and Jake didn't want to bother him since he knows if Aiden silent like this, means he was thinking of something.

"Why suspend me to take his thing? I mean...is it really important to him?" Aiden spokes.

"I think it is. Because, the way he glares at his second hand, it obvious." Jake responds.

"I don't know why but I have to know what it is. Who knows, right? It might be related to the contract and we can break it." He said.

" Just say that you want to kill him." Jake chuckles.

"You guess it right." He smirks and looks outside the window.

*Night*

Aurora brushing her hair, starting herself on the mirror. Her mind wanders off. Lucas in her mind, her mother in her mind, Melda in her mind, more like everything.

Well, her bully, Melda is always inside her mind. She hopes she can stop Melda from bothering her. Of course, she can by telling Aiden. But, she won't want to rely on him like a weak.

"Maybe my life will be forever like this." She mutters.

She puts down the brush and gets on the bed, ready to sleep. Her eyes ready to be closed but a sound like footsteps toward her room.

" Is Aiden home?" Aurora mumbles. Suddenly, the door opens and she hides inside her blanket.

The reason why she was scared because she forgot to lock the door. The maid and butler already went home and she all alone.

The footsteps getting near and she can feel a presence behind her. She gulping her saliva. Then, a palm of hand touches her shoulder-

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" She yells as loud as she can. That person holds her shoulder. "LET ME GO YOU JERK!!!!!" Aurora kick that person's stomach.

" ARGHH!!!"

Soon she hears that groaning sound, she opens her eyes and saw Aiden clutching his stomach. "AIDEN!!"
