Tales Of Love

David Nick felt his life was being choked. Her daughter? Was Aurora the boss’ daughter?

He was fidgeting. Aurora was going to expose him even if he insists he doesn’t know her. She was going to blow his cover and her mother would believe her.

“Ehemm… actually ma’am I don’t really know what to say or how to answer your question. Her face doesn’t look familiar to me” David Nick answered. He had no option than for him to pretend that he was suffering from amnesia.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Screw you Larry Tom” Aurora snapped at him. What nonsense. Was he going to pretend not to know her?

Everyone present except David Nick were taken aback by Aurora’s outburst. What name did she call him now? Larry Tom or what did she just say?

David Nick looked pitiful. He had no option but to keep pretending to be Suffering from amnesia . Aurora was definitely going to spill the beans.

Luke Rowan told Mile to release Aurora so that they can hear her explain everything she can about David Nick.

“He is not David Nick!, he is Larry Tom, grandfather. He’s an imposter!!!” Aurora finally found her voice.

Everyone glanced at each other again. What is Aurora saying? David Nick had been working as a special bodyguard to Mia for two years now.

Had they been living in deception all these while?.

Luke Rowan raised his brow slightly when he heard his granddaughter’s words. He knew something was wrong with the way Aurora looked at David Nick but didn’t expect to hear something so unthinkable.

Before Luke Rowan could ask Aurora any more questions, his Son Eli beat him to it. “What do you mean, Aurora?”

“I really don’t know what Miss is saying. I’ve been David Nick all my life. I can provide my identity card to prove it” Larry Tom lied, tring to explain. He was indeed between the rock and a hard place..

“I haven’t asked you a word David,” Eli snapped at him. When someone finds himself accused and quickly starts giving explanations on what he’s not asked, in most cases, Such a person is guilty of the accusation.

David Nick was now sweating profusely despite being in an air conditioned room. His actions, words and Sudden loss of his composure have sold him off.

Aurora had calmed herself. She turned to her uncle Eli and said ” When you came to Florence City to find me, Where did you find me Uncle?”

“In the prison” Eli replied at once. They all wanted to hear where Aurora’s words were heading.

“You are absolutely right Uncle, in the prison. Do you know why I went to prison? I will tell you and everyone present, I went to prison because I murdered someone” Aurora was looking very angry. Her neck veins and her clavicle were visible. The hair on her back neck was standing upright.

“So..?” Mia asked. She was eager to hear what Aurora had to say next.

Eli kept his eyes fixed on David Nick. Does he have anything to do with what sent Aurora to prison?

“I went to jail for murdering Larry Tom. I Suffered in prison for being a murderer. That same Larry Tom is standing here as David Nick!!!” Aurora concluded her words.

There was absolute silence after Aurora finished talking. No one ever expected they were going to hear something so terrible.

David Nick was feeling like an accused whose crime had been unveiled and was waiting for the final verdict. He knew naturally Aurora’s family were going to believe her.

“At that time, Aurora was accused of murder and attempted murder” Eli confirmed what Aurora said earlier.

Mia clenched her fist. Had she kept by her side the person for whose sake her daughter went to jail?

“What she said, was it true? Are you the same Larry Tom back in Florence City?” Luke Rowan asked. He was the first person to have recovered enough to ask the question. His question brought others out of their puzzled state.

David Nick’s legs became weak, he was like a giant standing with the limbs of a mosquito.

“Like I said earlier, I haven’t met the young Miss before and I’ve always been David Nick” Larry Tom insisted.

“Dare you to lie before me Larry Tom? How can you be so shameless?” Aurora snapped at him angrily.

Luke Rowan was a man of integrity. Though Aurora is his granddaughter, he wants to be Sure it’s not a false accusation.

“How can you convince us that what my granddaughter said was not the truth?” Luke Rowan asked David Nick. He was the former president and should stand up to defend justice.

“You don’t believe me grandfather?” Aurora was displeased with her grandfather’s question. She doesn’t like it when someone doesn’t believe her be it Santiago or her grandfather.

“How can you even say that Aurora? Will I believe an outsider and disbelieve my own granddaughter?” Luke Rowan answered Aurora. Never will he trample on his children for an outsider. He just wants to be fair to David Nick.

David heard Aurora’s question and the answer of her grandfather. He knew whatever he says now may not hold much water but he had to insist on his claim of not knowing Aurora before because he’s obliged to answer.

“I grew up here in St Petersburg as David Nick. I don’t know anything about what Miss Aurora is accusing me for” Larry Tom tried to sound genuine.

Great grandfather Rowan who had been listening finally spoke “Luke you’re going to know the real truth soon. First disarm him, Eli “
