Part-6 I am like Aurora

Part- 6

Ariana's POV

I fixed my eyes at Mr Fierce's photo and flipped through some lines from his interview which is published in this business magazine.

"Tedious," I muttered, hurling that magazine at the mattress and strutted yawning.

It was not trivial, which could intrigue me to read more about him, the same toil saga, like how much he had pressure to carry the legacy of his ancestors, how he deals with family controversies, his take on the competition, what he detests and fervour for his company so I closed it thinking not to give any stress to my eyes. Also, I am not eager to know about him.

Well it didn't dumbfound me that he is a businessman as from his disposition it's crystalline but after seeing his snap in this publication it's spectacular as this one only accentuates a notable businessman.

I might don't have that much interest in reading an enterprise magazine but I know about this as I customarily read the 5th edition of this magazine because of my parent's interview which is published in it, recalling it I felt sophisticated and also cursed myself forgetting that edition at Uncle's place but along this, I also feel terrible thinking some of the what-if conditions. 

I wish my parents would be alive today so I wouldn't require to run like this also I would be able to avoid that agony from which I went through. For those who know me, I am like Aurora but inside those 4 walls, I was Cinderella.

I shuddered to recall all the hardship, no I can't push myself in trauma. I braced myself reminiscing where I am.

It's okay Ari, you are fine and safe from them, I mumbled gasping and touched my cheeks which felt wet.

Tears? I don't know when these followed from my eyes. Let's not think about anything for now and plan for the future.

Firstly, I need to find some decent place to survive also it should be somewhere no one knows me as Gray.

Secondly, I am desiring for a job in some firm. I have completed my MBA from a nice university and also did an internship in Daniel's company which is in 3rd position in the USA but an issue is all this I did 2 years ago. Also, I don't have any work experience because of my Aunt and Uncle who didn't let me do the job which was offered by that company because they felt if I would get experience then I would overtake their business, of course, that business once belonged to my parents that might be the reason that they are afraid of me but I told them I want it nonetheless I failed to achieve faith like usually and made me sit at home and exposed me as Aurora in front of the parties.

My ambition was simple, stand on my own feet and be away from the foster family but they began to snatched that too. I accepted whatever they told me to do but this? It wasn't acceptable for me, so I ran and I hope I get accomplishment.

My face glimmered a little and felt goosebumps in the stomach even visualizing one day I will be on my feet and will have my own place and dog, perhaps I will have a boyfriend too who will pamper me.

 Enough of daydreaming, let check on Mr Fierce who still hasn't come. I am also feeling suffocated here, so it will be better to go outside but when I reach there, my eyes pop out seeing Ryder.

"What is he doing here?" I asked myself, wiping my sweat and flickering my eyes and holding the wall so my knees couldn't tremble.

Controversy!

This word came in my mind as in whichever business party I attended he was there and ogled at all so he can get some bytes, I remember what Joseph told me a day.

Ryder has the power to present a random event in a trendy way. In other words, things which we dismiss but once it comes to his notice he makes a mountain of a mole-hill. So I surely need to forgo colliding with him in order not be his scapegoat.

"Are you sure Ms Ariana Gray is here?" What? Till now I was getting afraid of him because of his vocation but he is here for me. No, I can't let him get a fortune. I need to do something in order to circumvent it.

Chill.

But how can I mellow out? What should I do? That weasel manager will soon tell him about my room, and Ryder will get hold on me.

No, mumbling that I ran in the room and in hyper looked for someplace where I could hide but then remembered my first experiment and how easily I got caught, so it is evident I can't be here any longer. I wish I had my things so I can somehow run from this inn.

Breathe out!

Whenever I have some problem I do this only and then try to find ways and the miracle is it actually works.

Wallet? I drifted my eyes as something was coming in my brain.

Nay! A big no.

I whispered biting my nails and smiled nervously touching that wallet which was on the cabinet.

"He is a big businessman, so it's okay to take some of his money. Moreover, in exchange he can take mine," I muttered these lines several times and sat at the bed gazing at that wallet and took some money and quickly wrote a note.

I don't know precisely what I penned down and how he will take it, but I know one thing, if I will be here then not only me but he will also be in peril and then he will not only insult me also throw his anger at me which would be justified and unavoidable.

I went outside and ambled in the opposite direction from the reception in the hope that I would get an exit.

I know the main exit would be there only but I can't go from that way but I also know in such places there is not only a single path which can be effective for going out. So there must be some other portal which will be beneficial for me.

And I was right, it is near the backyard. What more do I need? Nothing, expect to follow this path.

This path is going to make me reach a step closer to my dreams so I hope it will be hassle-free.
