Chapter 25: Chapter 25

The man went straight to the confinement area and found the door locked. He brought out a master key from his waist purse and opened the door.

He walked in and saw Aurora laid on the floor unconscious. He carried her across his shoulder and came out. He quietly locked the door. He went through the back gate and slipped away without anyone knowing.

At the back gate a car was waiting for them. As soon as he laid Aurora in the back seat, Eli Rowan sighed and took his seat beside Mario and the latter stepped on the accelerator and zoomed off.

Meanwhile the whole prison was left in darkness. The head of the security groped in the darkness as he tried to reach the switch. He had to raise an alarm to keep the securities at alert in case of a prison break.

The Jailer who was busy enjoying the meal that Eve Diego brought stopped when there was a Sudden power outage. She groped through the darkness towards the door. Why was there a Sudden power failure? This has never happened in years.

Soon the light came on again as everyone sighed in relief. It was less than thirty minutes but the police unit had been informed.

The Security accompanied the jailer to check on the prisoners and found they were all in their cell. The prisoners started yelling at them calling them incompetent scum. But no one remembers that there's another prisoner to be checked on at the confinement.

Mario drove Eli Rowan and the unconscious Aurora back to the hotel room. Eli placed Aurora on the bed and transferred some money to Mario.

Mario glanced at his phone ASI chirped and was amazed at Mr Eli 's generosity. He had transferred into his account over a 1million dollars against the half a million he had promised. He was happy and bowed his head in appreciation.

"No one else must know about what happened tonight. Otherwise you will lose your family and replace her in jail" Eli threatened the man.

"I've never met you sir, what are you talking about?" Mario replied. How was he Supposed to blow his own cover? If this incident is exposed, he only will go down because this man is rich and he's not from this country. He could easily return to his country.

Eli was pleased with Mario's reply. He gave a slight nod with no expression on his face. "I need a nurse, how can I get one with sealed lips?". Mario smiled and said he could get him one in a couple of minutes. As for whether she can be trusted, he need not worry because the nurse is his wife.

Eve Diego was taken to the hospital. The ceremony ended when she tripped. She was admitted, because her ankle was swollen and hurting her.

When the swollen ankle was X-rayed, it showed a minor fracture. She looked ugly with her slightly swollen nose. Her complexion has turned red as tears run down her cheeks.

She was advised by the sales girl at the boutique to choose another gown that the one she had chosen was too long for her. But how can she let go of the latest dress made by Dave. She must wear it, after all she can hold it stylishly while walking.

Now her engagement was ruined. After all she had put in place to get Aurora out of the way and Santiago willingly agreed to the engagement. Will Santiago be willing to reschedule the engagement after her recovery?.

Eve Diego's parents were by her side. They had just returned from seeing Palmer and grandpa Axel off. They were sorry about what happened and apologized on behalf of Santiago's nonchalant attitude.

Santiago simply walked away leaving Tola Diego and her daughter at the mercy of the reporters. Without giving the reporters a chance to throw questions at him he went to his car and the ever ready Jasper Milo simply handled the steering and drove him off.

It was obvious to everyone present that President Axel was only fulfilling an obligation and not celebrating .

The Diego's cannot express how disappointed they were. The few people present made some unpleasant comments which all featured Caden Diego wanting to force his daughter on a man that had no feelings for her.

After Santiago left, the few guests present also decided to leave after all they were there to witness and cheered the lovers. But since one of the lovers had left, leaving his fiancee behind. They had nothing else to witness and went away.

One of the bodyguards carried Eve Diego and sent her to the hospital.

It was all Aurora's fault, if she hadn't gotten her miserable self involved with Santiago, he would have been engaged with her at his grandfather's birthday.

After Mario's wife left, Eli stared at the face of the girl sleeping peacefully on the bed. She's the spitting image of her lady mother.

She's the younger version of Mia, his sister. When he saw her picture on the net earlier today,he knew at once that she was his niece.

Eli sat down beside her on the bed. He closed his eyes momentarily and thought how fast and successful his plans had worked. He had called Mario back an hour after he left.

He promised to pay him half a million dollars if he agrees to help him execute a plan.

They had planned and set out as soon as it was dark.

Mario's car was to develop a fault not far away from the path leading to the prison. He had disguised himself as an old clergy.

As the jailer was going to take over for the evening shift, She saw an old clergyman waving for her to stop. She took pity on him and stopped. She alighted from her car and went to see if she could be of any help. That was when Eli slipped into the car trunk and stayed there.

When she finally drove into the parking lot, she locked the car and went away. Eli used a sharp metal and opened the trunk from within.

He stepped out and waited until the securities went into their office to handover . Eli used the opportunity and got into the dressing room and changed into a security uniform. He had his waist purse and his pistol hidden.

He strolled out and went to check on the prisoners. But didn't find Aurora among them. He was contemplating on what to do next when he saw the jailer dragging Aurora away.

He saw her and felt emotional. He followed far behind.

Quickly, he surveyed the environs and saw a small gate at the extreme end of the prison. He went into the staff rest room and made a call to Mario.

At the time agreed, Eli went to the transformer and removed the fuse and the whole of the prison went dark. He then went straight to the confinement.

Next day, Aurora slowly opened her eyes...
