Tales Of Love

Chapter 4



“Santiago on my 70th birthday, coming up next month, I will announce your engagement with Eve Diego to the public”. Grandpa Axel declared.

Eve Diego smiled shyly and looked at Santiago who wore a poker face. Madam Axel held Eve Diego’s hands affectionately.

“Do what you have to do to dispose of that trash before the day” Granda Axel concluded and relaxed against his seat. “Grandpa, I will not have anyone call her trash, she’s my woman and as for my relationship with her, it will last forever” Santiago corrected.

“I am a man of my words, I had already got you engaged to Diego long ago and now, you can’t back out or make me fail in the promise I had made to her parents. You must get ready to be married to Eve Diego as soon as possible” grandpa Axel declared authoritatively.

“Eve Diego is a high class girl, the daughter of the CEO of the Eve group. She matches the expected kind of girl you should be with and you can’t stand her up for that girl!” Madam Axel Coaxed her son.

Santiago stood up and walked away. He saw Aurora and beckoned to her. They both left the old manor and were driven back to the company byJasper.

Jasper Milo was Santiago’s assistant and very fond of Aurora too. He knew the pressure mounted on his boss to sever his relationship with Aurora Logan. They all are interested in his marriage to Eve Diego.

Long before Eve Diego returned, her parents had reminded the Axel family about their promise to them.

He knew how much Santiago loved Aurora and how Aurora had made a great sacrifice to protect the prestige and reputation of the Axel family.

On their way back, none of them spoke to each other. Aurora was quiet, what could she probably have to say anyways.

It was up to Santiago to either follow his heart or follow his family’s choice. Whatever his choice would be, she will respect it.

Santiago was silent, giving an aura of powerful compression. When they returned to the company, Aurora alighted from the car. And without waiting for him, she took the elevator.

Seeing that Aurora left him behind; Santiago took some strides and caught up with her as the elevator closed. He embraced her from behind holding her waist, as he turned her to face him, without waiting for her to vent her anger, his lips closed on hers as he kissed her.

She refused and hit his chest with her small psalm but he ignored her protest as if he did not feel the pain of her hitting, she bit his lips, but he kept kissing her until they both started feeling the taste of blood. After some time, he let her go as he stared at the slightly swollen lips of Aurora.

Aurora looked at him with a sneer and saw his lip red from her bit, but pretended not to see it. She raised her index finger at him, but before she could say anything, the elevator opened and Santiago stepped out arrogantly and Aurora cursed him a million times in her heart and hurriedly followed behind.

Santiago was like that, he behaved like a rascal with her and the next minute, he looked like he had not stepped on an ant.

Aurora went to sit on her desk. she sighed heavily, she would have loved to work among the other staff but Santiago insisted that her desk should be at a corner in his office.

She looked at Santiago with her split vision and saw that he was already working on a file with full concentration. She closed her eyes, in a relaxed position. She wondered how Santiago was still able to concentrate on his work. He must definitely have a unique make-up and ability not to be affected by things that bothers ordinary people.

As Aurora closed her eyes, she was not sleeping. Actually she was thinking. Was Santiago really going to marry that rich girl?

His mother and grandfather seemed to be pleased with Eve Diego. She had lost her first time to Santiago, just to save him. He should be responsible for her but she can’t force him if he doesn’t want to.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

She knew he loved her but business alliance and benefits were more important to the rich than love. And that, she cannot offer him because she’s poor.

“I will not marry her” she heard Santiago’s voice and snapped her eyes open. “So you shouldn’t think too much,” Santiago added as he raised his head to stare at her.

Was this Santiago a mind reader? how could he have guessed her thoughts?.

Santiago dropped Aurora off before going to his villa. On reaching home, he saw Eve Diego in the sitting room with her legs crossed, reading a fashion magazine. He stared at her, ready to question her when he heard footsteps coming from the kitchen, turning…
