Love Unspoken

Landon's mom, Aurora Wells, showed up today.

She went to the police station to pick up the urn and ran into Kyle outside.

"Ms. Wells," Kyle greeted. "Mr. Kennedy wants to meet you."

Aurora held the urn, nodded, and followed Kyle to the car.

Aurora was in her fifties, yet she had maintained herself well and looked around forty.

Despite the grief of losing her son, she still looked beautiful, with an elegance that only time could bestow.

She arrived at the meeting room just as Alexander walked in.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Hello, Madam," Alexander smiled, extending his hand.

Aurora shook his hand. "You must be Alexander?"

Alexander nodded and gestured. "Please, come in."

Aurora sat down after Alexander did, placing the urn on her lap, stroking it like she used to caress Landon's cheek.

"You know the general story?" Alexander asked.

Aurora nodded. "The police told me."

Landon killed Stanley, then fell off a cliff while fleeing. The car was wrecked, and he died, leaving her with only a box of unrecognizable ashes. Only the custom watch she gave him made her believe it was Landon. Alexander sighed, "What a pity."

Tears welled up in Aurora's eyes. "Mr. Kennedy, is this the truth? Why did he kill Stanley?"

Alexander explained, "Stanley helped him forge a will, and Landon killed him to keep him quiet."

Aurora closed her eyes, holding back tears, looking suddenly older.

"I told him not to come," she said, tears falling.

Alexander asked, "So you knew why he came?"

Aurora wiped her tears, "Landon was always competitive. If someone bullied him, he'd go to great lengths for revenge."

She recalled, "In elementary school, he tricked a classmate into the mountains. It took two days and nights to find him."

"Because of his personality, we moved a lot. Later, we went abroad, hoping to settle down."

Aurora's expression grew sadder. "But then Wayne found us."

Alexander asked, "When was that?"

"Landon wanted his father to come but wouldn't admit it."

Aurora recounted how Wayne stayed for a long time, treated Landon well, and taught him business and life skills. He even helped him start a company and visited every year. But Landon never called him father. Alexander listened with a hint of a mocking smile.

Aurora continued, "I just wanted Landon to grow up safe and healthy, even if he lived a simple life. I didn't want him involved in these things."

"I didn't discipline him well enough," she said, tears streaming. "It's my fault."

Alexander signaled, and Kyle placed documents in front of Aurora.

"Ms. Wells, the dead can't come back. Please accept my condolences. These are Landon's shares. As his only relative, you should inherit them."
