PART 144

" I should go and see her." Aurora said trying to get up.

Charlie hold her in place. " You can go later princess. You are sick too. You have to eat something first. You should go after you feel good enough. She is fine now. Don't worry."

Aurora sighed but didn't argue with him. Charlie called Rosy and Mr. Mariano through the landline.

" I have informed them. Are you having any problem anywhere princess?"

" Just a little in head. I have probably got heat with a tree."

" Doctor said that too. You should have rest properly." Aurora nodded.

" Angel!" Mr. Mariano said excitedly. Aurora looked at him. She saw the tiredness all over her fathers face. She felt bad for making him worry in this age.

" Hi dad." Aurora said smiling. Mr. Mariano felt his life coming back in his body after so many days. Charlie stood up seeing him. Mr. Mariano walked and sat beside Aurora. He hugged her.

" How are you dear? I was so worried. Are you feeling fine now?" He said with a wavering voice full of emotion.

" I'm fine now dad. Sorry for worrying you. I didn't see that coming. I lacked supervision."

Mr. Mariano broke the hug and patted her hair. " It wasn't your fault angel. That bomb wasn't a regular one. Richard sent it via Henry."

" Did they leave any message about this attack from behind like a coward?"

" Yeah. They have. Your blood will be boiled reading it." Charlie said.

" You can read it later. You should eat something first." Mr. Mariano said.

At the same time Rosy knocked on the door.

" Well the food is here. Come in fast Rosy." Charlie said.

" How are you feeling now young master?" Rosy asked Aurora.

" Fine nana. Don't worry okay?" Aurora said smiling.

" Don't be reckless. Only then I won't be worried." Rosy said in a scolding voice. Others chuckled at that.

" I'll try nana but can't promise you know?" Aurora said winking at her.

Rosy sighed knowing this stubborn girl wouldn't listen to her ever. Charlie took the food from her.

" Call me if you need anything else." Rosy said and bowed. Then left the room.

Charlie handed the soup to Mr. Mariano. " Sir, you both should have some alone time. I'll come later." saying that he went out too.

" Let me feed you angel."

Aurora nodded. Mr. Mariano started feeding her.

" How is Antonia now? I heard she had a panic attack?" Aurora asked while eating.

" Yeah. After so long she had this type of serious attack. But thank god Lucas reached there timely or else it would become more serious. She is fine now. Probably sleeping."

" What triggered her? Again past memories?"

" Yeah. It is a curse to her you know well."

Aurora nodded and kept eating  silently.

Aurora finished her food. Mr. Mariano put the bowl on side table and gave her a glass of water. Aurora finished it silently.

"Where is the note?" Aurora asked. Mr. Mariano took out that note from drawer and gave her.

Aurora read it.

" It's a little surprise for my little Venom. You might be mistaking me for someone who is not going to fight back due to his age. But let me enlighten you dear, you maybe Venom but you are nothing compare to me. Don't come across my path and make a nuisance in my job. This time it's a warning but next time I won't spare your life. Don't make me come after you. Let go the heirs and we will be fine."

Aurora chuckled reading it. " He is targeting me dad. I should return the favor then."

" Don't take any risk about the heirs. You need to keep them safe."

" Don't worry dad. I'm not like him. I'll take slow and poisonous step that will be the most effective. I need your help. I need his every business related details. Every little one dad."

" Why business though?"

" You will see. I'm his target and his business is going to be my target. I'll kill his arrogance first and then him."

Mr. Mariano nodded. " When are you going back dad?"

" After your birthday."

Aurora lowered her head. It's already that time of the year? She hated it. 

"You can go back before that."

Mr. Mariano side hugged Aurora. Aurora put her head on his shoulder.

" That day feels like a burden dad. Don't try to make it special please."

" I won't agree to that angel. That day your mother choose you over herself remember? That day you came to this world to make my world more beautiful. That day your doggy gave you a new life, a new powerful version of your. That day is already special. You can celebrate it as usual. I just want to stay here with you."

"Want to spends the day with me?" Aurora said looking at her dad.

Mr. Mariano was shocked hearing that. Aurora never allowed anyone to spend her birthday with her. Not even him. She was changing. Mr. Mariano smiled at that.

"I'll be glad if you allow me so."

"Then that's decided." Aurora said smiling. She didn't know why she did that. But she didn't want her dad to be alone. Though there would be people around him but she was sure he would feel lonely. That day was the day when he lost the love of his life. So they should accompany each other.

"Angel." Mr. Mariano nervously called her.

"Yes dad."

"Are you still upset?"

" A little."

"Can I explain myself again?"

"About what dad? I really don't want to know more why you didn't trust me back then." Aurora said being upset.

" It's not that. The reason I had to fly to Australia in emergency that time and I wasn't able to search about James properly."

" Dad, you really don't have to explain further. Whatever happened, has happened for good."

"Let me just finish it first okay?"

Aurora sighed and nodded.
