16 She's Everything To Him

There's a lot of voice around her. She tries to wake up but it hard for her. The voice sounds deep and a hint of anger can be heard.

After so much time trying to open her eyes, she finally made it. Her vision is blurring. She saw three male figures, standing in front of her. One of them holding one figure as if he wants to punches the figure in front of him.

"W-What happened?" Her cracking voice speaks.

The three-figure turns to her. "Aurora!!!" That what hit her. It was Aiden's voice. He hugs her tightly as if she gonna died or be gone.

"What happened?" Aurora asks.

"You passed out because of your panic attack." Aiden answer but still hugging her.

She held her head and shut her eyes tightly. Yes. That's what she remembers. She opens her eyes and saw Lucien standing there in worried. Their eyes met and everything makes sense.

"Lucien!?" She calls.

"Gosh, thank God. You didn't forget me." Lucien sighs in relief.

"You know this guy?" Aiden broke the hug.

"Yeah. He...He just...my stepbrother." Aurora couldn't believe that she labels him this.

Jake hands her a water bottle which she gladly takes it. "You should feel glad. If not, Aiden will kill him just now."

"Why you do that?" She frowns at him.

"I didn't. I just asked him to tell me everything but he declined it. Saying that I'm not someone he can trust." Aiden's eyes glaring sharply at Lucien.

"It true. You are the dangerous mafia. Who will trust you?" Lucien talks back.

The air becomes tense. Jake is ready whenever his boss makes a dumb move. He knows his boss is short-tempered when it comes to his kitten.

"You can trust him, Lucien. He's not dangerous at all, I know him." Aurora spokes causing everyone to look at her.

"You related to him?" He asks.

"Yes. I'm his girl." She bluntly answers. The words make Aiden eyes grew wide. He looking at her with surprise.

Surprised that she says it. She admits that she belongs to him. He can feel butterflies in his stomach and his very beating so fast.

"That was...unexpected." Jake mumbles.

"If you say so then...fine." Lucien sighs heavily.

Aurora turns to Aiden who is still shocked. "Can we go home?" Her voice sounds like it hurt.

"Y-Yeah." He nods. "Jake, help me bring Aurora. I need to have a few words with Lucien."

Jake just nods and convinces Aurora to follow him. As soon as they went out, Aiden spokes.

"I hate to say this but thank you for helping her," Aiden said.

"She is my steps sister. How can I not help her?" Lucien scoffs.

This guy getting on Aiden's nerves. "I don't like you but whatever." He went out after that. He can hear Lucien chuckles.

"Aiden, let it go," Aurora said.

"How can I let it go? It was your mother and she even dares to say that to you!!! What kind of mother she is!?" Aiden raises his voice.

Jake standing there watching them. He didn't want to get involved but he will stop Aiden if he lost control.

"I know you are pissed. But, it was past. So let it be." She sighs while arranged her books inside her backpack.

"Aurora. How can you be fine with it!? She hurt you!! Don't be weak, Aurora!!!" Aiden yells.

She clenched her fists. "I'm sorry about that. I don't care about it again."

"We can't let her go like that. She's the one who causes you like this!! Don't you feel anything? Don't you want to hurt her like the way she did-" He is cut by Aurora.

"STOP!! OKAY!?" She yells. Both of the guys flinched at her loud voice. "Yes!! I do want to hurt her like how she did to me!!" Tears sliding down her cheeks.

"But I CAN'T. Don't you understand!? I don't have any courage to do it, Aiden!! Please understand me! I'm suffering enough...I...I-I don't want to hurt others. I know it not fair. Can we just...let me take a rest from everything?" She already kneels while crying.

Jake feels guilty when she like that. He looks at Aiden who didn't do anything yet. He just looks at her.

"Aiden." He calls. Jake notices him clenching his fists.

Then, Aiden walks toward her and kneels. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry."

He brings her to his arms slowly and strokes her hair. It only makes Aurora burst into tears.

"I'm just worried about you. When I heard the call from the teacher saying that you collapse...everything negative across my mind. I couldn't think anything instead of that."

Aiden was scared to lose her. Maybe some people say it too fast but nothing is too fast. When true love came, you can't hold it.

He wishes, he can keep her all to himself. She's everything to him.

"Let's bring you to bed. You need to rest." He picks her up like a bride-style. They walk toward his bedroom instead of hers.

He tucks her in the blanket. "I will wake you up after dinner is ready. Get some rest, okay?"

Aurora just nods and turns around, her back facing him. He sighs and went out after that.

Aiden looking at his phone. Then, Jake comes to him.

"Aiden, what do you think of Lucien?" He asks.

"Pissing me off." Aiden answers. He glances at Jake. "Why?"

"I don't understand. Why her mother did that to her? She so precious while Lucien, her step-child, is nice toward Aurora." Jake said as he turns on the television.

"I don't have any comments but...it was fate, Jake. We can't change the fate or escaped from it." He said without looking at him.

When he said that, Jake looking at him. He can sense the sadness in his voice. Jake knows he couldn't forget his past. The scene where his father died can't get out of his head.

"Well, dinner is ready. You want to eat with us?" Aiden asks.

"No. Thanks. I already ate. Besides, I have to meet the club owners who want to deal with us." Jake states.

"Oh yeah. About that. I will join. I want to meet him by myself." He said.

Jake nods and continues watching. "How about Aurora?" He asks.

"I will bring her along. Leaving her alone is dangerous whether she hates it or not." With that, he went upstairs.

Jake chuckles and shakes his head. "Overprotective much."
