Aurora squinted, she had no idea of the fact that he regretted his actions and those irrational words he said about her. She had only endured torture and humiliation for a few days but didn’t realize that Santiago endured a worst form of torture.


    Emotional torture is unbearable. To endure a physical torture is really a big deal, but experiencing an emotional torture is a hard one. They both have endured a Suffering that has been orchestrated by Eve Diego and her mother.


    But he had no idea that those he intends to help are the brain behind their Suffering. They were the reason why he couldn’t be the first to carry their kids. They were the reason why his mother felt poisoned that day.


    And here he is, thinking and nning to help them out. Maybe it’s time she let him know about Larry Tom and his involvement with the Diego’sdies to send her to Jail.


    “But you forgave me I guess, you gave me a second chance and here we are together. Why won’t you let go and forgive the Diego’s as well?” He turned away and went back to his seat.


    “Why won’t you just listen to me and stay away. I am your girlfriend but more than that, I am the mother of your kids. I am destroying the Diego group and you appear to want to salvage the situation and be their savior.


    Why do you want to contradict me Santiago? You should be by my side to Support me and not the other way round” Aurora was trying to sermonize him.


    “What am I Supposed to do? I am stuck between the rock and a hard ce. Grandfather promised topensate CEO Diego for my refusal to marry his daughter.


    Thatpensation is what Caden Diego required as a favor. And besides, the Diego group had once helped us. How can I then see their group go bankrupt and ruined with my arms folded and do nothing?” Santiago inquired with his brow raised.


    Santiago was right if it wasn’t the Starlight holding who was dealing with the Diego group. If it were someone else, Santiago would definitely be right to help and salvage the situation. But now, it concerns her, her mother and the Diego family.


    “Santiago, this is a family matter. This is between me and my family” Aurora announced. She had to tell Santiago her rtionship with Caden Diego. She’s also a member of the Diego family after all.


    Santiago was going to pick his pen to continue on where he stopped on the files in front of him. But his hand stopped midway and was suspended in the air. He raised his head and looked at Aurora with a questioning gaze.


    But Aurora’s eyes had be teary. She bit down on her lips and blinked several times to stop the tears from embarrassingly running down her cheeks. She turned her back to Santiago and looked down on her fingers, staring at them as if they were someone else’s.


    Santiago stood up and walked over standing in front of Aurora. He wants her to exin in depth about the statement she made a while ago. But instead, she’s on the verge of sobbing.


    “Babe?” Santiago only addressed her this way whenever he’s feeling ecstatic or trying to coax her. He pulled her to himself in a warm embrace and whispered “what do you mean it’s between you and your family?”.


    Aurora started sobbing audibly. She became emotional and wept allowing the tears to flow down her cheeks. Her present state was simr to how she felt that night when Mia had told her that CEO Caden is her father.


    Santiago held her and brought her to sit on the sofa. He allowed her to cry to ease her tense state. Santiago was thinking fast. Is Aurora in any way rted to CEO Caden? She can’t possibly be rted to T Diego, he thought.


    He was eager to hear Aurora’s exnation but had to wait. He took her on hisp and cupped her teary face. He was looking at her familiar eyes which had now be red.


    Pulling a handkerchief from his chest pocket he cleaned her tears . Aurora appreciated his care by giving him a faint smile.


    She sniffled before saying “Santiago, can you believe it if I tell you…. that…. that…….” her tears came afresh again. He bent her head and ced it at the nook of his neck and started tapping her gently. “Tell me anything babe, I will definitely believe you” Santiago coaxed her.


    “Would you believe I was so devastated and almost wished death for myself when my mother told me that Caden Diego is….” She couldn’tplete her statement because Santiago interrupted her.


    “Your father?!!!” Santiago blurted out the hard truth. His eyes widened. He moved Aurora away from his body and stared at her with a dark eye brow.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The earth seemed to stop rotating around its orbit. Santiago was speechless and his hand seemed to tighten around Aurora.


    What is really happening around Aurora’s life? Caden Diego, Mia Rowan. How and where did they meet?


    There was a brief silence thatsted for a few minutes. Both remained still except for their heartbeats that kept interrupting the silence.


    He looked at her eyes and squinted. Her eyes looked very simr to CEO Caden’s. She looked like her mother but her eyes were like CEO Caden’s.


    Aurora nodded and answered “Yes. He’s my father”. She looked away not wanting Santiago to continue his scrutinizing looks on her face.


    Santiago felt she was notfortable with his looks, so he stood up and allowed her to sit on the sofa alone.


    He took a few strides from Aurora and stood with his back to her. cing his two hands in his pants pocket he asked.
