Chapter 6: Chapter Six
After the breakfatst, Aurora tried to calm herself and silently familiarize herself with the geography of this private area.
It was called Onyx Villa. It belonged to Maverick and covered an area of one billion.
In other words, it was impossible to walk out of Onyx's territory on two legs, unless Maverick personally allowed it.
But how could that be...
Aurora hid in her room and called her friend, Sophia, whose father was a wealthy and influencial man in Sun City. "Who owns Onyx Garden?"
"The owner of Onyx Villa's property is unknown, very mysterious, even my father can't figure it out. But this force has deep roots in Sun City, and there are many people who want to climb up, after all, Sun City has changed a lot now." Sophia said.
Aurora bit her lip and fell silent.
Maverick must have taken root in Sun City long ago, and by the time those wealthy businessmen in Sun City reacted, it would be too late.
Even the Atlas family didn't know the depth of it.
Sophia continued, "And the owner of Onyx Villa and leader of Eaglecrest Group are the same person."
"Eaglecrest Group?"
"Yes, The tallest skyscraper in Sun City, in just five years, it has become as rich as a country and is the king of the entire Sun City. It's really a headache, I don't know how to get to know such a big shot, it's so mysterious."
Aurora shuddered as she listened.
"Aurora? Why are you asking about this?" Sophia, on the other end of the line, sounded puzzled.
"It's nothing," Aurora forced herself to speak steadily. "Just curious..."
"When will you be back? I want to grab a dinner with you."
"Later, I'll call you when I'm free."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."
After hanging up, Aurora collapsed on the bed, her face drained of color.
She had thought Maverick was just another wealthy man, but had no idea he had such power in Sun City!
No, even so, she had to escape.
As long as she could get out of Sun City, Maverick would never find her.
But how could she leave?
A few days later, at dinner time, Aurora sat at the table, her eyes fixed on the food in front of her.
She took a tentative bite of rice, then steeled herself to pick up her fork and reach for the vegetable dish.
But as she brought it close to her nose, she caught the unmistakable scent of mushroom.
Her hands trembled with fear. Despite her anxiety, she forced herself to take a small bite, her hand shaking as she chewed and swallowed.
She had to escape!
Almost immediately, Aurora's skin began to itch and prickle, and a wave of panic washed over her.
The maid standing nearby watched in horror as Aurora reacted to the food.
She had added nothing unusual to the dish!
It seemed Aurora had a severe allergy.
The maid quickly turned and rushed to find Elijah. "Butler Elijah, Miss Harrison is having an allergic reaction!"
Elijah's expression turned serious as he listened to the maid. He waved her off to keep an eye on the dining room.
Elijah then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Mr. Alexander, we have an emergency. Miss Harrison is experiencing a severe allergic reaction."
In the top floor of the skyscraper, Maverick sat in his black chair with his phone pressed against his ear, his black eyes sharp like that of a hawk. "Take her to the hospital."
"Yes, sir."
Aurora was helped into the car, weakly leaning against the window as she watched the scenery outside rapidly retreat. Despite the pain, her eyes shone with a glimmer of hope.
Less than ten minutes later, red rashes had spread to Aurora's neck and face, not to mention the state of her body under her clothes.
But that was just the beginning, Aurora's breathing became labored, as if someone was choking her neck. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed in discomfort, and her body spasmsed in the seat.
She was on the brink of death. But she couldn't die. She had five young and adorable children at home who needed their mother.
Before they could even arrived at the hospital, Aurora began to gasped for breath and was rushed to the emergency room.
Aria was taken aback when she saw Aurora - she had been practicing medicine for years, but she had not seen such a severe allergic reaction. If they had arrived any later, Aurora might not have survived.
As Maverick's personal doctor, Dr.Aria immediately began treating Aurora.
The hospital was silent in the middle of night, with a creepy feeling in the air that made the skin crawl. The door to the VIP ward silently opened, and a dark figure approached the bed, looming over Aurora's body.
The oxygen mask had been removed from Aurora pale face, but her breathing was steady. However, there were still faint red marks on her face.
Maverick's figure was imposing, with his hands resting on either side of Aurora's body like a dangerous animal. "How does it feel?" he asked in a low, cold voice.
Aurora, with her eyes closed and long, curled eyelashes, did not respond.
"It a shame I didn't see get to see you in pain, but there's always next time," he said in a ghostly voice.
The next day, Aurora gradually regained consciousness, turning her head to look out the sunlit window. It was already morning. Looking around the room and smelling the strong scent of medicine in the air, she knew where she was.
Aurora breathed a sigh of relief, glad to have left Onyx Estate. Aurora sat up and touched the red marks in her face.
There was a knock on the door and Aria walked in. Seeing that the person was already awake, she said, "It's alright. The rashes on your body will disappear completely in a couple of days with the medicine."
Aurora looked at her in daze.
"I am the director of this hospital and also Mr. Alex's personal doctor, Aria."
Aurora was shocked. Even the personal doctor was at the director level...
Aria was curious about Aurora. This was the first time Maverick had brought a girl to her, and Elijah from the Onyx Estate had followed. It made her feel that this girl was extraordinary.
Last night, she couldn't see the girl's advantages under the allergy, but now that the swelling had gone down, all her features were revealed. She was clean and beautiful, like a natural transparent porcelain.
Standing next to Maverick, this beautiful girl, who was as beautiful as a young girl, easily made people think of the relationship between men and women.
"Rest well. If you need anything, just ring the bell and I'll come over." Aria said.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After Aria left and closed the door, Aurora looked thoughtful.
Maverick's personal doctor was Maverick's person. He would never come to see her.
Aurora hope even more that Maverick would never appear again.
That way, her chances of escape would be even higher!
