Finding Her Truth

CHAPTER TWO

"I will phone you when the divorce papers are ready" Axl said coldly as Aura dragged her suitcase.

"Axl ple-" he cut her off.

"I don't want to hear it" he rolled his eyes "the evidence was clear"

"Just get out of my life" he whispered.

She tugged on her suitcase and walled out of the house she called her home for so many years.

"I called a cab to take you to your parents house" he said "goodbye Aura, I hope we never meet again"

He slammed the door making her flinch.

There was no way she was going back to her parents.

They were just going to humiliate her.

She sighed and pulled her suitcase.

"You and me against the world baby" she said softly.

"C'mon Max, hurry the fuck up" Axl yelled as he opened the door.

His brother, Maximilian had dragged him to a restaurant saying they didn't spend enough time together but it was probably to get away from his eleven year old's wrath.

"I'll be back before you know it sweetie" he cooed "I have uh an important meeting"

After a few minutes he finally ended the call and jumped out of the car.

"I found this place out yesterday" he paused as they opened the doors "and the food here is to die for"

He hummed and was hit with the smell of burgers and fries.

"A fast food restaurant?" He rolled his eyes.

"We haven't been to one of these in years" Max smiled.

Axl sighed.

The last time he was at a fast food restaurant he was with her.

They walked up to the receptionist and found her on her phone, her back faced to the wall.

"I'm working" her soft voice cooed "I will be there before you know it bu-"

He gasped.

It was her.

"I'll see you later" she giggled "ice-cream? You bet"

She ended the call with a sigh and turned to face them.

And her smile faltered.

Goodbye Aura, and I hope we never meet again.

The last words he said to her before slamming her out of his life.

"Welcome to Vin's" she greeted "How may I help you?"

Axl opened his mouth then quickie shut it.

"We would like a table and some menus" Max spoke for him.

"Alright" she said, grabbing something.

"Your table is 53" she smiled "I will be back shortly for your menus"

Aura rushed into the kitchen, her face flushed.

"Did you see those hot guys out there?" one of the women said, winking at Aura.

"Just give me a damn menu" she hissed.

The woman handed her two menus and she took them and rushed back out.

"Here you go" she grinned "call a waitress when you are ready to order"

Axl couldn't help but admire his ex-wife as she walked away.

She gained on a lot of weight and no longer had her slim curvy figure but it was a good look on her, her chocolate brown hair was in a brown bun, wavey as always, her pink lips were plump and her cheeks were chubby and gosh her body was perfect.

"Is that-" Axl cut Maxmilian off.

"Yeah, that's Aura" he sighed, playing with the corners of the menu "my ex-wife"

"She looks different" he said, his eyes on the menu "but she's beautiful"

"I'm telling Emma" he sang, making Maximilian roll his eyes.

"She is all yours dude" he sucked a breath.

Axl glared at him, his anger bubbling.

He watched as Aura waved someone then rushed out, her phone against her shoulder and pressed against her ear.

Oh how badly he wanted to follow her.

The woman who pulled him back.

The woman who broke him.

His ex-wife, the gold digger.

"Follow her you creep" Max smirked.

Axl glanced at him and stood up.

"Take mine to go?" He begged.

Max sighed but nodded.

He rushed out and entered his car, just as her white matte white Mercedes- Benz drove by.

He started his car and followed her, making sure he was a few cars behind her so he wouldn't get caught.

Aura sighed and she parked her car in the parking lot.

"Hey Aura" Miss Tartal greeted "He's over there, drawing"

"Has he interacted with anyone?" She asked, biting her cheek.

Miss Tartal shook her head and Aura sighed.

"Hey Vinny" she smiled as she knelt down next to him.

"Mama" her three year old son yelled, throwing his arms around her shoulder.

She grinned.

"Where is your bag?" She asked, picking up his drawing.

"Over there" he pointed to the corner where his plain blue bag sat.

"How about you pick it up and continue this drawing at home?" she cooed.

He nodded and rushed to get his bag, eager to leave.

She held his hand and helped him into the car.

Axl watched as she helped the little boy into her car and his heart broke all over again.

She had a kid.

Someone's kid.

Soon they were home.

She quickly gave him a bath and took one as well.

She helped him into her bed and covered their bodies with her duvet.

"Good night mama" he whispered after yawning.

"Night Vinny" she stroked his brown hair.

Her son, Vin, had brown hair and blue eyes.

He looked just like his father but he inherited her eyes.

She wasn't the same woman she was four years ago.

Now she was a mom and she was damn proud of that
