AURORA'S VENDETTA Opening up
Chapter 16Matteo's POV My eyes almost burned with tears when I got into the room he was kept in and I saw his face scrunched in pain as they tried to relocate his arm to its position. I did that!! And I'd have done more if Aurora didn't stop me. "You'll be fine, I promise." I said to Angelo who ignored me and shut his eyes. "You were going overboard, brother. That wasn't supposed to be a death match, you just wanted us to spar like the old times and everyone goes home. I can never trust you again," He lashed out and panted. "I promise I'll tell you what happened, but focus on recovering for now." I called Doctor Luca aside who is in charge of the medical team. "There's no other real damage apart from the dislocation, right?" He shook his head, "There isn't. I only sent one of my team members to call you because your brother was tense and he said that we shouldn't commence treatment if you aren't around." My lips stretched into a tired smile. Even with his outburst, he still w
AURORA'S VENDETTA A penitent question
Chapter 17Aurora's POV I stretched my arms from the restless sleep I had and jumped out of the bed. My mind couldn't accept to rest after everything that happened last night so I stood up and brushed my teeth. Since I left my uncle's house, I hadn't done any exercise or even jogged in the morning which was unlike me. I tossed on a black crop top and a matching pair of joggers then packed my messy hair into a ponytail. As I left my room, I heard some voices, from the wing opposite the direction of my room which belonged to Angelo. It wasn't loud enough to warrant attention, but as usual, I let curiosity take the lead. When the door creaked open, I ran towards the hallway quickly and headed for the gate. Matteo's house arrest could kiss my jogging ass. "Where are you going?" I heard when I got to the gate and turned around to stare at the person who caused me to halt my steps. Matteo stood by the window with a questioning look and a running outfit as well. It was still early and
AURORA'S VENDETTA You can't say no
Chapter 18Aurora's POV "I don't think I want to talk about it. This isn't the appropriate time for this conversation," He said coolly and I nodded. "Maybe we should go home then, I have to make breakfast and everyone should be hungry by now." I said and resumed jogging, leaving him to ponder on my coldness. Due to his long legs, he was able to catch up with me but I wasn't ready for any strained discussion. "I don't want to believe that you are angry because I didn't say anything to you." He insinuated. A huff escaped my lips and then I halted. "We still have the boss-employee relationship, right?" "Yes, why do you ask?" His eyes were squinted in confusion. "Because I don't want you to accompany me during my workout times. I didn't sell my rights to you when I started working here and I should have my privacy." I didn't give him a chance to respond as I took to my heels. My pace didn't reduce till I got to the gate and waited for the guard to open up for me. By the ti
AURORA'S VENDETTA Helping out
Chapter 19Aurora's POV I stood in front of my vanity table with a tired look on my face. What did Matteo really want? Angelo's words flashed in my mind again. Somehow, he was trying to tell me about Matteo. He didn't know of my plans so anything he said was a clue to breaking him and getting my revenge. It was already getting late. The party was slated for 7pm and having lived with the brother-in-law to a late Capo, I knew how much they loved punctuality. It would have been fun messing with him and coming out later on since I wasn't really interested in going but I still buzzed out. Matteo stood with his back facing me. His eyes were on his wrist watch and I held back a snort. "I'm ready," I announced as he turned back and gazed at me with a gentle look. He looked magnificent in his black tuxedo and his hair that was combed in a slick comb-over. He opened his mouth to make a comment but snapped it shut. I didn't need his reply because I could see how his eyes nearly undressed
AURORA'S VENDETTA A new discovery
Chapter 20Aurora's POV I didn't bat my eyes while staring at him because I knew that he wouldn't overstep his boundaries since I posed as Matteo's woman. The Capo brought me here and even if he didn't introduce me to everyone as his girlfriend, they would connect the dots together and match us up. "What are you doing with her, Giselle?" His voice became deeper than the tone he greeted us earlier with. "She just wanted to ask me where the toilet was. That's it," She replied, her voice sounding shaky. He stared at me with a warning flickering in his eyes but I didn't look away, rather I held his gaze with my lips twitched. Maybe he'd beat up his wife when he got home, but I wanted to remind him that not all women could be treated like trash. "What is going on here, Antonio?" Matteo's voice disrupted my eye battle with Giselle's husband. "Nothing serious, I was just checking up on my wife." Antonio replied, placing his arm around the waist of his wife possessively. I smiled then
AURORA'S VENDETTA Sharing the bed
Chapter 21Matteo's POV The idea of being with her alone in the night made my blood rush. She looked surprised but she masked it in and smirked. "What do you say?" I asked again as she placed her finger on her forehead in thought. "I think we should go to a hotel, but what would happen to your car?" She suggested and I nodded. This was my route and the nearest hotel was thirty minutes away and twenty-five if we increased our walking pace. "Everyone knows better than to touch anything that belongs to me. We would have to walk fast. There's no hotel nearby," I informed her and she nodded. She glanced at her foot and shook her head. "I should have kept my flip-flops in the car as I usually do." "Well, there's nothing we can do about your heels," I replied and we began to walk together. I'd have walked faster if I was alone, but I had to consider the beautiful woman beside me. The crickets which hid by the grasses on the road side chirped loudly, giving me a nostalgic feeling. I us
AURORA'S VENDETTA Behind closed doors
Chapter 22Aurora's POV I shifted uncomfortably on the bed glaring at the smug grin which was plastered on his face. Why on earth did he think I'd be comfortable sharing a bed with him? Though the thought of being with him through out the night was unsettling, I still wanted to know it would feel. "Since you're so interested on sharing the bed then I'd lay on the couch. It looks soft and cozy enough," I smirked and then he took off his shirt. He was left on a white vest and I looked away, not wanting to imagine how his chest would look like when he finally tosses it off. "Don't be so shy, it's nothing you haven't seen before," He teased slyly, "Or haven't you seen enough bare chests? "I don't derive joy in seeing that. It doesn't interest me," I replied curtly, got up from the bed and limped with a wince towards tie bathroom. "Are you sure, you can bath on your own?" He raised his brows. "I'm slightly injured, not crippled. Sure, I can take care of my issues." I huffed then sto
AURORA'S VENDETTA The path to freedom
Chapter 23Aurora's POV "Huh?" I jerked up the bed into a sitting position, my eyes widening at his request. We had only kissed once but it was brief and I always acted like it never happened because of how teasing he made it be. "Yes, I want to kiss you." He reiterated, causing butterflies to whirl in my stomach. "Is this a part of the challenge?" I furrowed my brows and he snorted. "Maybe, but I really want to taste your lips. You don't know how hard it is for me to lie beside you while your lips are staring at me untouched." He made a joke of what he desired but I knew that he was serious. At least, he was blunt unlike other men who lied about what they wanted. I couldn't blame him though, he was a Capo and it wasn't hard for him to make demands. "Just a kiss, right? It won't lead to other things." "A kiss usually leads to other things but I'm ready to take whatever you want to offer me…" He replied with a smug grin and I wrapped my fingers at the small of his back and bro
