PART 168

" You bastard! The word trust doesn't suit you. The one has pointed you out is more trustworthy as they don't have any history of backstabbing like you! Getting information of my group huh? I have kill all of your informers dangerously. I'll send the bodies to you as a gift so that you can know what will I do to you if you come in front of me!"

" Mr. Balakirev please think with a calm mind. This decision is harmful for your group too. Don't terminate our contract. How will you manage another dealer or any other profitable business like this in a short time?" He said trying to manipulate junior Balakirev.

" You think you are smart enough to manipulate me huh? Do you think I don't know other aligns of yours have terminated contracts too for your nasty coward doings? Think about your group only! I'll see what to do about my group. I have already sent the contract  termination papers. Sign it before I come there and kill you with bare hands." saying that Balakirev cut the call.

Mr. Richard throw the phone and started destroying his room again.

" Ahh!! That motherfucker little bitch! I'll not leave her! I'll fucking cut her into pieces!" Mr. Richard kept shouting while destroying things.

" You think you are smart huh? You have found them few informers and they will do business with you? You think it's that easy? You will have business with them and boom! You will get powerful and renowned in Asia too? Fucking bullshit! Balakirev will never collaborate with UNDOCILE! Their business ethics are not even 1% same. You little bitch just wait and watch how I'll snatch your everything and kill you pathetically!" Mr. Richard screamed.

Aurora became busier next few days due to her studies, business and UNDOCILEs work. Moreover she also helped Mr. Zaffino in organising the event though he told her not to do so much as she was already doing so much things but Aurora didn't want to pressurize him for something she wanted.

Aurora almost stopped coming home. She went out early and returned midnight. 

She almost forgot about her birthday too. She had a lot in her hand. But the day before her birthday she decided to go back early not to rest but to work from home so that she could work all night. 

Aurora returned home at 9 pm. Everyone greeted her. She didn't talk much. She went to her room. Get freshened up and again sat down to do her work. She needed to complete those before the fair or else she wouldn't be able to fulfill her plan that's the reason she was working so hard.

On the other hand, in the mansion things were not good according to Antonia. Lucas was ignoring him as usual but the most frustrating thing was that her therapist Bianca was getting closer to Lucas day by day. She either came early or went out late just to talk to Lucas for time. 

The most horrible thing is that Lucas was also giving her the attention she wanted. It's like Lucas always wait for her. Antonia was furious about that. She didn't know what to do about the fact anymore. She was getting burnt by her jealousy everyday. Moreover she couldn't share it with Aurora as she was busy and not at home most of the time. She was frustrated would be an understatement.

They were taking dinner. Everyone was there except Aurora as she told them she was full.

" Tomorrow is Auroras birthday." Sofia said.

" Shouldn't we do something then?" Lucas said.

" She doesn't like to celebrate it. Aunties death anniversary is tomorrow too." Sofia said sighing.

" I think she has forgot the track of dates. She has forgot it's her birthday." Antonia said.

" How do you know that?" Harry asked being confused.

" She won't be working if she remembers it. She generally dimmed the light of her room and sings in days like this." Mr. Mariano said. Antonia nodded.

" Shouldn't we wish her then? Will she be angry?" Leo asked.

" I wish I knew. She doesn't express anything about this day. The only thing I know she hates this day." Antonia said sadly.

" Hasn't she celebrate her birthday ever Sir?" Charlie asked.

" One or two times when she was little. But after she has started understanding things, she never lets anyone celebrate this day. To her it's a cursed day." Mr. Mariano said sadly smiling.

" I have tried many times to make it special, even tried taking help of Ryan I mean James as I thought she would feel happy. But she has always ignored everything." Sofia said lowering her head.

" Who is Ryan or James?" Lucas asked being confused.

Charlie, Antonia and Sofia looked at Mr. Mariano.

" He was angels ex-boyfriend. The leader of Panther who tried to kill her." Mr. Mariano shortly said.

Charlie curled his hands as he knew the whole story.

" What?" Leo said being shocked.

"So what Harry told us was truth? Did she take vows and training of mafia after that?" Lucas asked.

" Yeah." Sofia replied sighing.

" Poor girl has seen the cruel side of the world." Harry said sighing. Charlie closed his eyes. He knew evey details of Auroras past and that was paining him more.

" What she does usually on her birthday Antonia?" Leo asked.

" She stays out all day. Visits her mothers grave and goes to the training camp of UNDOCILE and stays there whole day, comes back in the evening." Antonia said.

" Alone?" Harry asked. 

Antonia nodded.

" She doesn't allow anyone with her." Sofia added.

" But she has asked me to go with her this time." Mr. Mariano said looking at them.

" What? She has? That's a good thing dad. Your wish will be fulfilled then." Antonia said smiling.

Lucas looked at her. He felt relaxed seeing her genuine smile after these days. But soon he looked down not wanting to make her uncomfortable again.

" Yes uncle. It's a good thing. Aurora has been opening up finally." Sofia said with excitement.

" But Charlie wanted to go with her this year." Mr. Mariano said looking at Charlie. Charlie smiled.

" You should go Sir. She has invited you herself. Maybe she wants to stay with you this year. I can accompany her in future if she wants." He said.

Everyone smiled hearing that.

" Yes Sir. Both of you should celebrate this day together." Lucas said.

" Charlie will only create mess if he tags along Sir. Leave him. You both should go." Leo said.

" I agree Sir. He will spoil her mood. So it's better if you two go." Harry added.

" I think that too. He only knows how to make her angry. It will cause a havoc if he joins." Lucas said.

Antonia, Sofia and Mr. Mariano laughed hearing that. Charlie glared at them.

" No one will need enemies if they get friends like you three." He said while glaring.

Three of them started laughing loudly.

Antonia stared at Lucas. After so long she was seeing him laughing that loudly. She felt her heart warming at the scene. 

They kept teasing each other while finishing their dinner.
