Chapter 3 THE UNEXPECTED

As soon as she stepped out of the room,she took a deep breath leaning on the door.

"I can't believe I said yes''she muttered to herself disappointedly.

She was so nervous that she waited for Kim Aguero and his grandma to leave the room first before she sneaked out to avoid anyone being suspicious.

Opening her eyes, she saw a cluster of reporters and photographers in front of her and the flashlights half blinded her as they began to pop.

"What are you going to wear for the wedding, Aurora?"

"What is the worth of the original diamond ring?"

"How did you manage to hook him?"

"Can you be able to tame this monster Playboy even after marriage?"

"Is it true that Kim Aguero is very good in bed?"

"We all envy you Aurora,what do you want to say to your fans?"

"How do you feel being the soon to be bride to Kim?"

The questions were thrown thick and fast before she could even utter a word.

Just then she heard Aguero's deep voice.

"There you are sweetie!"

He pushed through the throng. The crowd grew larger as many fans recognized him and came through to look at Kim's perfect woman.

He caught her waist and leaned over to whisper to her.

"Just keep smiling,let me do the talking"he murmured through clenched teeth.

Aurora flashed her teeth awkwardly at the camera men.

Finally Aurora was free from the cameras and flashes,worse her colleagues now sees her as some kind of goddess,they all look like they're terrified by her,even her employee was staring at her like she is some kind of guest in the hotel.

There's only one person who won't act like that even if she was elected the president of America,her best friend and colleague Susan.

They only met on her first day in the hotel,but they were so close that Susan didn't mind her rich background and would always sleep over at Aurora's place.

"What's up with that face?"

Susan said as her fingers kept working their magic on the keyboard, she is one of those people that can type a hundred times without looking at the keyboard as if the alphabetical order has been installed into her brain.

This is one of the times Aurora concluded that Susan's a superhuman, this ability still remains a mystery to Aurora.

Aurora sighed deeply.

"I can't believe this is all real."

"Well I hope you understand what you are about to go into?"

"Of Course I don't Susan,I am confused and helpless, it wasn't really hard to say no to him but his grandma....I can't say no to her..and that fool made her think I was his actual girlfriend, imagine using me to lie to his grandma,what if she finds out one day,it will kill her!"

"Well she won't find out if you don't say a word about it."

She stopped typing and looked up at Aurora now with a serious impression on her face.

"Look honey,the Kim family is a large and famous, every lady's dream is to get married to a son in this family, they're real life Barbie dolls, spoilt and very famous but you see Aguero,he is not just an idol or the prince charming and fallen angel as they nicknamed him,he is a tough one very tough one,you are not cut out for this honey,trust me he may be charming but he is a devil, a fucking devil,you are too fragile for him".

"What will I do then,I don't know what else to do".

"I don't know, if possible switch places with me".

Aurora's face lightened up until she ended it with, "don't even think about it cus it's not possible Aurora."

Then her attention was drawn to the big screen at the reception hall.

"Wow look at the screen, girl you are trending".

Slowly Aurora turned to the big screen TV and found herself on the TV.

"What?"

Quickly she hid her face with her palm as people inside the reception started mumbling and stealing glances at her.

The news station's live conversation between two male and female reporters stole her attention.

"Let me get this straight,this is the lady that was able to get him to propose to her?"

"She looks average to me".

"Way below average but don't judge her like that,Aguero can never go for a boring decent woman,there maybe more in her than her innocent looks who knows".

"She is my type,I will say,Mr Kim isn't really a dummy,a hard-working, respectful and decent woman,she is the real deal."

"She is ugly and the Kim family don't marry ugly".

"I sensed jealousy Rosie."

"Her man has been taken,I agree with Joe,she is beautiful, maybe getting the life of the Kim's ,I am sure she will beat the Kim sisters in good looks".

Susan nudged Aurora, diverting her attention.

"Stop being so awkward,they envy you stand up proud"

"There's nothing to be proud about deceiving a poor old lady and look how they judged me like I was a piece of goods in the market."

Aurora said irritably.

"You are living a life ,every girl in the world could only dream of,I know this was an accidental proposal or whatever but you should get ready,you can't run from Kim Aguero,he is a very mysterious man in many ways,so all you do is play along and try giving him your conditions ,it's just for a year not forever"Susan whispered to her, Aurora's face squeezed into a frown.

That evening on her way home,she removed the ring and put it inside her bag but when she got home.

Everyone stayed inside the house, which was unusual,even the twins were not playing around.

"Mom! What is going on?"

"Shh!"

Her mother's voice sounded from the inside. As she draws the curtain, they're all seated on the floor glued to the TV.

"It's sister Aurora!"

The twins shouted in excitement,they ran and hugged her knee.

"I am so happy for you big sis,Kim Aguero this is unbelie...is this really for real?"

Her brother Ryan asked in doubt.

"I..I"

"This is huge, finally God answered my prayer though it's kinda a surprise that you had a boyfriend all these while..is he the real Kim Aguero?"

Her mother cuts in.

"Mother please can I talk to you alone?"Aurora said and turned off the TV.

Bryan carried the twins outside the house to play.

"When will he be visiting? I am so happy, so happy honey,this is what I wanted for you,I don't care if you hid your relationship from me or not..,she paused and whispered, "Have you guys made out yet?"

"Mom! I am still (lowers her head on shyness)..you know pure".

"Oh dear,it must be tough to resist such a hottie,I want grandkids by the way"her mother said and winked.

Excitedly she walked to the kitchen and Drew the curtain closed.

"You already have twins,Mom!"

"From you silly."

Mother returned with a plate of sandwiches for her and a cup of coffee.

"Thanks Mom"

Just then Posha ran into the house.

"Where are you coming from Posha?".

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Tell me I am dreaming! You are getting married to Kim Aguero!"she snapped.

She brought out her phone and showed Aurora the live stream on a certain blog.

Aurora felt a surge of embarrassment reddening her cheeks.

"I..I..

"Yes she is and that is what she gets for being a decent and hardworking young lady, go put on something you are naked."

The mother replied instead. Posha rolled her eyes intensively.

"I am wearing a dress".

"Yeah definitely,get to your room and pull that rag off or I will."

"You can't order me around I am twenty-one!"

Aurora stood up and put the plate of sandwiches on the table.

"Mom..I got this", she turned to Posha."Let's talk outside right now."

Posha hesitated but followed her.

Just then a convoy of Ferrari 250 GTO drove towards them.

"Holy shit! these babies are real,so sick!"

Bryan exclaimed.

He was quick to recognize the car and its worth.
