Chapter 277 - Aurora’s struggles

Aurora's father, Horus Riguna forced her to marry Andrew after he saved his life during a sudden ambush during a secret meeting which was being held at Italy. At that time since Aurora had no one she liked or loved , she decided to comply with her father and follow his plans. Initially everything was okay, Andrew was nice to her and treated her really well but that lasted only until her father was alive. After her father died mysteriously, they found out that Horus had passed on his entire legacy to his daughter. 

For a few years, Aurora handled everything quite well all by herself but when he got pregnant with Matthew, Andrew asked her to stay at home and prepare for her pregnancy while he would look after everything.Thinking that it was the best, Aurora started staying at home. 

Even after Matthew was born, Aurora decided to stay at home and take care of her first born child than to leave him alone and go for missions. Slowly, Aurora completely detached herself from the outside world and devoted all her time in taking care of her kids and her husband.

When Janet was five years old, Aurora's father's most loyal employee Jubba called her and hesitantly told her about all the bad deeds and illegal missions that her husband was sending their men to and how it was staining her father's name, Aurora completely lost it. When Aurora investigated deeper, she found out that Andrew had started several illegal businesses and was also using her father's name to deal with inappropriate people.

When she confronted Andrew, he told her that it was just a way to expand the business. He told her several things and tried to reason things out but nothing worked because Aurora was smart enough not to fall for it. From that day onwards, Aurora started going on missions and took over her father's business again. 

A few months later when both Andrew and Aurora were out for a mission, they received a call saying that Matthew had fallen down from the terrace and was in the hospital. His condition was really very serious. 

Leaving the mission half way, Aurora rushed back to the hospital. Seeing her son lying on the hospital bed with a thick bandage around his head, Aurora's heart ached for her son. She blamed herself for not taking care of her kids properly. 

Taking advantage of the situation, Andrew persuaded Aurora to stay at home and take care of the kids promising her that he would not do anything bad that would taint her father's name to which Aurora did not agree straightaway and said that she needed some time.

After a few days when Aurora found out that it was Andrew who had asked someone to push their son from the terrace, she felt terrified. How could a father do that to his son? Scared that Andrew would try to harm her kids again, Aurora decided to stay at home and take care of them. What was the use of staying outside and going on missions when she couldn't even keep her kids safe?

As years passed by, Aurora kept on maintaining her distance from Andrew. She knew about all the bad things that he was doing outside but decided not to say anything. She was scared that he would harm her kids again. A mother's kind and loving heart and feelings completely overshadowed the fierce and cold hearted Aurora she once used to be. Her kids became her biggest weakness. 

Aurora's body became very weak after giving birth to Amy and she was bedridden for several months. At that time, Andrew started feeding her with a very strange kind of medicine saying that it would help her recuperate faster.

As time passed by, Aurora started hallucinating things. At times she would scream and shout or would randomly throw things in the air shouting and yelling at someone. Everyone thought that she was going crazy.

Auroras condition worsened day by day until Jubba, her father's most loyal man sent Linda as her caretaker. Linda first exchanged the white medicine that Andrew used to feed Aurora with a fake one. She also secretly started giving her the right medicines which would help her flush down the effects of the other harmful medicine. 

By the time Aurora became all well, it was too late to make any move against Andrew as the latter was clever enough to take advantage of her situation and take away everything that was meant to be hers. The only reason why Andrew couldn't kill Aurora was because she was his biggest benefactor. It was because he was Aurora's husband that everyone listened to him and followed his commands. Since he couldn't kill her, he decided to mentally disable her. 

Since Aurora couldn't deal with him directly, she decided to use other methods. With the help of Jubba and a few other men, Aurora was slowly invading Andrews territory. Their movements were slow yet every effective.

Everything was going according to their plan and they were ready to attack Andrews main base but things took a drastic turn when Andrew pulled his gun out at Matthew. 

…..

Aurora closed her eyes and clenched her hand into a fist when the image of her son covered in blood flashed in front of her eyes. If not her fast reflexes and Victor Yugen's help, Matthew wouldn't have survived.

"Madam, we will definitely succeed in this." Linda assured Aurora.

Aurora nodded her head and asked, "What about Janet?"

"Janet is doing well too and Amy is with her. It's good that all three of them are together now. Madam may be Mather will tell Janet and Amy that you-"

Cutting Linda off, Aurora shook her head, "It's okay even if he doesn't. I am just glad that they are doing well."

Aurora's heart ached when Janet left her and the mansion forever but she did not stop her because that was the best for her. She didn't want her daughter to stay under the same roof as Andrew. Aurora's heart felt more at ease when she heard that Amy was with Janet now. 

It had been years since she had last seen her kids together but Aurora didn't mind. She also knew that Janet and Amy were not so fond of her and thought lowly for her but Aurora did not complain because as long as her kids were safe and happy, she didn't want anything else.

That is how a mother's love is, putting her kids happiness and safety first and making them her first priority. 

Aurora could've easily escaped and would've managed to live a peaceful and happy life leaving her kids back to suffer under Andrews hand but she didn't. She chose to give up her freedom and let her kids live a happy life outside.
