Aurora's POV

Oh, God. I hate alarms so much..... I'm so tired. I had to do my assignment till early this morning. I was busy chatting with my friends till around past twelve.

What the heck is the time?

7:55 am

Oh my God! Oh my God!

Shit shit shit!!!!!

I'm so doomed. I have a class by 8:00 am alongside a test. I'm so stupid. I got up from my bed, I have to take my bath, I didn't take one yesterday night.

I did all my necessities and packed my things in a rush. I don't have time to eat or do anything this morning. I rushed down the stairs screaming mom.

Damn it "it is 8:20 already. I'm so late"

" Mom why didn't you wake me up, you know I have an early class. I'm so sure I set my alarm but someone came to and snoozed it."

My parents could not allow us to stay in dorms or even hostels outside school. No reason was given though.

My mom Alana Thomas Williams looked so shocked and annoyed. To her. I'm bothering her. She is of an average height, tanned skin, and is brunette and she also has this beautiful shape. She got married to my dad at nineteen. They said they couldn't wait any longer to get married since they were so much in love with each other. According to my mom, the way dad proposed was so romantic which I don't believe. Why? He doesn't look like a person who is into romance and all. He's so strict and works 24/7. Let's leave my dad for another time. After they married, it took so long before they gave birth to my sister. According to them, they didn't want to give birth early because they wanted more time to themselves...I didn't believe that. Curious I found out that my mom couldn't conceive early.

My dad (Max Thomas Williams) is a multi-billionaire. He was born into wealth, and so were my sister and me. He is always strict. I use to think maybe it's because he was born into the business world so he was so so business-minded. He is so stern in everything he does.

Sorry I still haven't introduced myself to you.

"Mom? Mom?" I brought her back to life, literally

"What?! Vivian told me you've gone to school. I didn't know, I asked her to go wake you up and she said you've left for school" She yelled

" You know the daughter you gave birth to is a she-devil."

"Don't you dare say that word again......."

I didn't let her finish, I ran off. Listening to her will only make me sad. She has never been on my side for once when it comes to Vivian and me. I sometimes wish that I wasn't born into this family. Nothing done by me can please them. I can't let trivial matters make me cry like this. I have so many things on my priority list. I still have to catch the bus, so I ran. I almost missed the bus by a minute. The driver was busy spitting profanities, I know answering him will be at my own cost so I kept shut. Some of you will be wondering why I took the bus. Well, my dad gave the car to Vivian and me but being the bitch of the sister she is, she hardly ever let me ride with her. Always has one or two things to do with her friends. They like partying a lot, getting drunk and sleeping with random boys. I once reported to my dad how his so-called precious daughter spends his money but my dad said he doesn't mind as long he works for the money, it is for his daughter to spend. Like I'm not his daughter. It hurts so much that he doesn't acknowledge me as his daughter.

Enough of my story for now. I got to school at 8:35. The lecturer told us the last time that we were going to have a short test. And here am I coming this late.

Shit!

He isn't a person I want to mess up with, especially at this time of my life. I'm writing my finals and I need an A grade in all possible courses.

I sat down in a hurry hitting a person's leg by mistake. By the sound of the groan, I knew it was a boy. I said a quick sorry and faced my front bringing out my book and shit of paper for my test. I quickly scanned through the note for a revision till I heard that it was time for the test.

FEW MINUTES AFTER

"Time up. Everyone drop your pens and send your papers to the person in front of you.

Finals are in a week. I don't have much time for preparation anymore. I have to meet my boss at work today. I have to take some days off to prepare well and have time for myself. I've been working moving out of the house and buying a car of mine immediately after grad.

I left school immediately after I was done with my classes for the day. Went straight to my workplace(Nora's). The place was named after my boss's grandmother. I took a 30-minute bus.

My boss Nick Henderson is right on the counter side giving orders to staff and taking orders from customers and calculating accounts as usual.

He is happily married to Brin. He has two grown-up children, Troy and Athena.

"Good afternoon boss". I called with a cheerful voice and smile claiming his attention.

"Aurora dear, it's you. How have you been? How were the lectures today? You wrote a test right?"

"Hold your horses old man. One question at a time and I'll answer all". I said while laughing.

He knows too much about me. My daily activities, movements. Things that even my parents don't know about.

He met me one stormy night. I ran away from home when I was getting suffocated by the problems I was facing at home. I was fifteen at that time.

I had nowhere to go. After a few days, he returned me to the footstep of our door. I got grounded for a few months but after I got my freedom back, I went looking for him. After closing hours at school, I resume to his shop.

And gradually, I started working here.

Hey guys, I want to welcome you and say a very big thank you for giving my book a chance. I promise to write good and interesting stories. Happy reading!!
