chapter 1: Aurora

it was a windy day, the background greenery was breathtaking, with different types of plants and colorful flowers the garden looked a land from fairytale , In the middle there a giant tree which might be more than twise of man's age. under the tree there was a alluring table and chair it looked simplistic but classy.

a heavenly gorgeous girl in her mid twenties was seated in the sitting area under the tree. she had long rusted copper color hair with a tint of Mahogany making it contrast to her pale white skin. she had alluring green eyes and with the polish way she sipped her tea it looked as if she had been trained for years to learn etiquettes.

she sighed for a moment and neatly placed her tea cup down. a silvery modulated voice came from the girl her voice was angelic and pleasent to ears. "sir Ciar today i will visit a night in Paris", it was the name of the restaurant which was closed to her heart, today is the best day for her to go there.

"sure my lady", a disembodied voice spoke up his voice was deep somehow pleasant but also authoritative. a man came in front of the girl from nowhere and bowed.

"sir Ciar, how many times should i tell you to call me Aurora", she rested both of her hands in her waist and made a small pout while making her eyes narrow like a little kid. she can only behave like this in front of sir Ciar who was her bodyguard, he was assigned to her two years ago due to safety reasons.

her father is the owner of one of the biggest real estate companies. her mother is among those top celebrities who are seeked even after their their motherhood. and let's not forget her elder brother who is profound cardiologist. with a family of so riches one might find her tremendously lucky, but not in her case.

due to so much wealth there comes responsibility, responsibility to think like a adult from young age, be smart because who likes dumb people with no knowledge, be productive or else you will be of no worth, be calm in every situation that's how your behaviour is judged, don't loose your emotions in useless things it's for weak people, be kind to others so that everyone will love you...you will own then something which will make you higher than them, compromise : comprise for the people who are close to you after all we are the one who has been there for you, be everything a man wants because in the end that's where a woman's fate lies.

that's what her mother taught her from an young age, she made aurora a robot with emotions installed within her, when it's time to laugh she will laugh, when asked to smile she will smile, everything like a moveable doll. Dianna, aurora's mother never did she looked at her daughter as a daughter she looked at her as some material who will become a fine product in the future with perfect training, more like hellish traning, she wanted to make a puppet who can dance however the stings moved.

aurora never had a good relationship with her family, from outside it may look like a ideal family of loving mother, a proud father who works diligently for his household. but the inside was more darker than its look like, a mother who is in the verge of being a sociopath due to her perfectionist nature , a workaholic father who doesn't have any attachments to his family only transfer of money was his only duty, a man with many mistresses. they only stand together and smile when they are in public to make the best example of a ideal kin.

her borther and the workers around her is one of the sources to stay in the line of sanity. or else she might have been dead until now.

"my lady unfortunately I can't fulfill your wish". Ciar broke her trail of thoughts with his words. aurora looked at him for a moment and sighed she regained her normal face which was devoid of any emotions and whispered "fine".

she moved towards her room to change her dress, this was really tiring thing, her house more like mansion had everything which screamed riches, it had everything a person need except for the feeling of a home. she entered her house and moved towards the stairs. stepped on few stairs when a melodious voice called her "aurora" the voice was so sweet to the point it can spark chills to someone's whole body. what is she doing here, today was not the day she should be at house.

aurora's heart thumbed, even after so many years she can never get used to her mother's call in eldritch tone. she moved her body towards her mother direction robotically and with a fake plastered smile she said "yes mother"

her mother also smiled at her with nothing but cold in her eyes and in a restrained tone she spoke "where are you going, dear?"

"to my room"

"i see but you didn't acknowledge your mother when you entered the home", with a slight malicious voice she spoke up. her eyes fierce which was contrast to her beautiful face.

aurora then come to know that her mother now is not in her right mind she is like a ticking bomb which can activate any minute. she looked at her mother and bowed deeply, "mother my greatest apologise, i didn't mean it, this useless daughter of yours was so unmindful that she couldn't even show proper respect the matriarch properly"

the whole room was silent for a moment but it felt like a century or more, after the brief silence her mother spoke up, "apologies accepted", aurora sighted inwardly but still didn't raised her head due to her mother's antics. "raise your head dear, you might get late for your task. now go get your work done".

"sure mother as you wish" Aurora raised and smiled monotonically , she bowed again and moved towards her room. when she was away from her mother's sight she walked faster towards her room. oh, how she hated these large corridor. finally she reached her room and hurriedly locked her it from inside.

she bounced on her queen sized bed which was curved and ornated with details her room was self contained. the ceiling was custom made with a beautiful crest shaped crystal chandelier. it was a canopy bed with detailed design of drapes in the sidelines. the curved headboard with a red velvet touch was enchanting to eyes. the wardrobe made of glass was beside her bed. a bedside table in the other side with a vintage touch in it, near it was a cozy place to sit for two people. in front of a her a large wall tv, her whole room was wall papered with golden hues giving a classic vibe , only behind her bed the wall carved with a beautiful flying pheonix.

she sat up on her bed and sighed her mother was getting crazier by the days cames by. she has to flee from this cage or else she will be killed by that women some day. "ping", her phone made a noise, she climbed all the way to the bedside table and looked at her phone a smile apeard on her face it was a text from Ravi.

Ravi was her boyfriend they came to know eachother through a event in her father's company, he worked as a property manager under her father.

"Ravi : hey princess don't wanna meet me?!"
