Death Of Love ~ Silent Love

Chapter 2

Prom night. The 27th of May 2000. The hall was decorated with deep rich colours with round tables and chairs all over the room and a stage at the far end. Every couple looked very pleasant. All the guys were in tuxedos as the girls were in ball and A-line gowns. Bruno dragged Aurora to the dance floor and they danced the night away. Their waltz was spectacular. They couldn't get enough of each other's company. Only the eyes in the building were preventing them from going any further. Who could stop them?

"I can't believe Bruno is doing this to me of all people." Blanca said as she starred at them with so much resentment. She was sitting at the bar drinking her misery away.

"You need to move on. You deserve better than this." Veronica said as she looked at Bruno with disgust.

"I love him Vero." She took a shot of tequila. "Imagine the effort I have put in this relationship ended with him being with my identical twin sister. Aurora will pay for this."

"There is your opportunity." Veronica said as she watched Aurora walk away to the restroom.

Blanca smiled, she stood up and fixed her dress. "No wonder you are my bestie." She laughed. "Don't tell Lola." She walked up to Bruno as Veronica went after Aurora. "Hey you."

"Blanca...how are you?" Bruno asked as he checked if Aurora was coming. He didn't want her to see him with Blanca, her worst nightmare.

"I am doing perfectly fine since you broke my heart and went after that savage." Blanca said. Seeing that he wasn't paying attention to her, she said, "Let's get a drink...come on, for old time's sake."

"Okay." He said and they went to the bar. "I really need one."

She gave him two vodka shots. She knew alcohol was his weakness and he would give in to anything she says. Seeing he was getting drunk, Blanca brought herself closer and seduced him. She knew how to hit him so hard that he couldn't resist. They went up to room 302 of the hotel. Blanca unzipped her red ballgown and let her dress loose. He turned and looked at her. She boldly stood in front of him holding her waist in a red lingerie.

Bruno stared at her from head to toe. He restrained himself from touching her. "What are you doing?"

Blanca moved closer that she could take in his breathe. She curled her arms around his neck, in a soft tone, she said, "You promised me heaven after prom night."

Bruno pushed her away gently. "Things have changed. I am with Aurora."

She held his right hand, lifted her head and stared deep into his eyes. "But you love me. I know you love me Bruno, you also know that. I want to be yours forever baby."

He pulled away from her grip. "We can't do this to Aurora...Blanca this is wrong. Way wrong to Aurora!"

"But not to us. I miss you babe. What happened to B&B forever?" Blanca asked pecking his neck with kisses. "I want you as much as you want me."

For a minute, he agreed. He went along with Blanca. It was a bet after all. There was no need for him to feel guilty for cheating on Aurora, he thought. The bet ended a month back but deep down he didn't want to leave her. In a short space of time, he fell in love with her but he couldn't resist Blanca's beauty. All their beautiful memories couldn't spear him. The alcohol didn't make him think straight, he found himself committing the biggest sin against Aurora.

----------

There was no sign of Bruno or Blanca when Aurora came out. Aurora became very worried with what people were saying. She went upstairs and saw Miguel going downstairs with his girlfriend, Margaret. She ran up to them, asked about Bruno. Miguel said Bruno was at the third floor. She knew it was all Blanca. She was right when she said at Prom she should watch out. She ran to the third floor in a desperate manner. She didn't want to think about what they were doing. She wiped her automatic stream of tears.

Aurora opened the first door...second...third...found nobody. She turned to her left and knocked but nothing. Her heart forced her to get into a room behind her. She banged the door open. There they were, naked and passionately kissing each other with Blanca on top of Bruno.

Blanca stopped on hearing the door open. She turned and saw Aurora. She smiled. When Bruno saw Aurora, his face became pale and covered himself with the sheets. He didn't know what to do or say. He broke his promise to her that he would never break her soul. He loved Blanca but he was falling deep for Aurora.

"You are a monster, how can-

"Do you seriously think Bruno would leave me for an i***t like you?" Blanca got up and wore a robe. "Bruno has always been mine, you were just a temporary destruction!" Blanca laughed.

"Bruno, is that true?" Aurora asked. Her heart was shattered.

Bruno looked aside recalling what Anselmo told him. He didn't know what to say. She wasn't a temporary destruction but a bet.

Blanca moved closer to Aurora and they faced each other. "We have been together for so long and I won't let a pesky pet like you get in my way."

"You can keep him...I don't care...he always belonged to you, Blanca. I won't fight for something that isn't mine." Aurora exclaimed. She glanced at Bruno with a broken heart while having flashbacks of their first time at the beach. What was painful was the promise he made to her not what her eyes were showing her.

"Aurora...am truly sorry." Bruno apologized getting out of the bed. "I love you Aurora."

"What did you say Bruno?!" Blanca's heart dropped. Her mouth was wide open with arms folded and her eyes glued out.

"If you loved me, you wouldn't have slept with her. Goodbye Bruno. I hope she makes you happy again."

Aurora calmly got out accepting her defeat. What was she even thinking to date her sister's boyfriend? One thing she knew was that she was never going to forgive his infidelity....

Bruno wore his pants.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to get back the only woman who loves me sincerely." Bruno said with confidence and rushed out in hope to win back the love of his life.

"Aurora!"

"Don't come after me Bruno!" Aurora cried as she ran much faster.

Bruno ran after her. He was broken seeing the damage he had caused. He couldn't lose her not when he understood what love was. "Rita! I love you."

"You don't mean it." Aurora stopped and faced him from a distance. "You love her, you don't love me. I gave you my all but I guess that wasn't enough."

She ran down the stairs and stopped when she saw people going up. She knew he wouldn't come after her since his reputation was a priority to him. She fell and sat on one of the stairs and cried her heart out.

Juan Pablo held Bruno's arm as he tried to follow her and reminded him, "It was only a bet right?"

"I love her." Bruno said as he turned back. He saw she wasn't going to listen to him. He had to give her time.

"You love Aurora?" Juan Pablo was shocked but happy at the same time that his plan of separating Blanca and Bruno worked. He was overjoyed.

Bruno nodded with his cheeks reddening. "I will go to her house later. Maybe she will forgive me."
