She barely had breakfast the next morning.Her mind remained unsettled because all she wanted was to talk to Matteo.She was glad by the time they were about to leave.They sat at the back seat while the driver drove.Aurora was so lost in thought that she didn't see Luca staring at her the whole time.She just wanted them to get home quick and she hoped Luca would go to the office so she can do what it is she has set to do.However,amidst all these thoughts the car pulled up in front of an exquisite store.Aurora looked confused when the driver came to open the car door for her.She glanced at Luca who was already walking into the building.What should she do?Without thinking much,she followed him inside where they sat on a comfy couch.The interior decorations were breathtaking but not enough to take Aurora's mind off Matteo's betrayal.An attendant welcomed them,while giving Luca a couple of samples in coloured boxes.Aurora wondered what Luca was up to."Show her some samples and le
Luca Genovese sipped his wine, ignoring the drools and winks coming from the women at the gala organized by some of his business associate.Seated at the table was men and women of high calibre and also Leo and his wife,Andrea who regretted coming along the moment she set her eyes on Sandra-the woman her husband cheated with a year ago.Even though her husband didn't spare Sandra a glance,she still didn't feel comfortable.Meanwhile,news had gone round Riverdale that the Mafia purchased a two million dollar ring for his runaway bride.After much discussions on business matters that failed to get Luca's attention,Sally summoned courage and said,"Why isn't your wife here with you,Don Genovese? I see Andrea here with us.Did she refuse to come?"Luca's gaze finally landed on her as was her intention.She fixed her dress so that her cleavage could be seen crystal clear."This is not the kind of thing I'll bring my wife to." he answered"What kind of thing would you bring her to?" one of th
Mrs Genovese stopped Luca by the door the moment he walked in.He pulled off his suit jacket and threw it on the couch lazily then stared back at his mother."You bought a ring for that slut??" she bellowed "Has she won your heart too with that seductive body of hers,Luca?!""Move away,mom" he grunted "I'm too tired to have this convo""No," she blocked his path "I want you to explain to me why you'd spend so much for just a ring!""She's my wife.Isn't she supposed to have a wedding ring on her finger?" he asked calmly,although it was a blatant lie."Don't feed me that, Luca" returned Mrs Genovese "I know you too well and there's no way you can do that especially when she caused so much embarrassment and humiliation by ditching you on the wedding day""I placed a tracker in the ring." he admitted "Happy now?" He walked past a flabbergasted Mrs Genovese and up the stairs.It was now she began to understand the logic.Luca checked his watch.Ten on the dot.He pulled off and took a quic
"I'm getting fed up of waiting,Matteo!" the lady complained "Just throw the water on her face,feed her the damn medicine and let's get this over and done with!""Fine,fine...I figured you might want to take things slow" answered Matteo who grabbed the jar of water."I have other things to do and-" her phone rang just then.She immediately picked it and grimaced before ending the call."Ugh,I gotta go!" she took her handbag from the drawer table "Make sure she bleeds those foetuses off, Matteo!!" she said with an angry look before banging the door.He heaved a sigh before locking the door behind.He was glad she received that call because he had other agenda on his mind.He went over to where Aurora was tied up in a chair.Drops of blood seeping from the wound on her head.He caressed her face."I feel sad things have to go this way for you,Aurora." he began "You've got everything a man wants.. you're a great woman and the only sin you've committed is refusing to silently get these things
Silence.It was held for a minute with none willing to speak first until Aurora's unintentional sob forced the Mafia to speak."Are you okay?" his deep and enchanting voice startled Matteo.He immediately ended the call and switched the phone off."Your husband seems to care for you a lot," began Matteo "But don't be fooled by such act my dear Aurora, because no man can ever love you truly.""You were built with good looks and a seductive figure which, apparently makes men crazy for you.The priority is just to get you on their bed Aurora,the Mafia is not an exception.""Everyone is surprised he bought you an expensive ring,but who knows why?"Ignoring her pleas and tears,he got up and took the medicines from the shelf.Ticking it with his fingers,he made his way back to her.Suddenly,he stopped."Tell you what?" he grinned "I just had an idea!"He circled round her and leaned close to her ear, tucking her wet hair behind it he spoke,"Since this is gonna be the last time there'd ever b
He lifted his eyes,his dark,deep orbs staring deep into hers,daring her to speak.Aurora rather kept quiet.She didn't want to give away anything.He enjoyed every bit of it as it was more than obvious the torture he was putting her through.Somehow,her body and the innocence in her eyes cooled down his rising temper and all he wanted to do was enjoy the moment.Instead of quickly,he made sure to go very slowly in buttoning up the coat.His fingers now intentionally brushing her skin.For the first time in her entire life, Aurora Genovese couldn't retaliate as much as she wanted to.She was scared.Scared that he'd question her.Of course,she knew he would at some point in time but at least not at that moment.Right now, her mind was blank and her head was hurting really bad-an awful state to tell a white lie.At last,he finished and Aurora was quick to walk towards the door hoping he'd follow but at that moment his eyes fell on her phone on the floor.He walked over to pick it up.The scree
He took a long,naughty look at her body before walking out of the room.The cold air suddenly disappeared and Aurora could breathe properly.When he'd showed up and rescued her a bit of the hatred for him burnt down,however after this short conversation and the naughty stare at her,Aurora decided she'd never hated him more.She walked out of the room and into his car,not saying a word.Her mind was full of the scene she met in Matteo's house.Who was that lady? She'd never met her before and she certainly doesn't work in Starlight hospital.Who is she?She racked her brain for some seconds.Perhaps she'd seen that face anywhere?? In social gatherings she attended when her parents were influential people?But no.Nothing came into mind.Riverdale is such a small state and she'd been almost around the whole place but she'd never seen that face.How's that possible?!The ache in her head stopped her from thinking further,what was most important was the fact that Matteo and that lady were a
"I'm not kidding Luca," threatened Aurora "I will drive this knife into my neck if you don't let me through!""Aurora," he spoke gently despite the fire burning inside of him "Drop the knife and let's go home""I don't want to go anywhere with you," she cried "I just want to be alone.""Aurora-""Tell the doctors to move out of the way..." she pierced the knife deeper and gritted her teeth from the effect of the pain."Everyone leave!" Luca's thunderous voice was enough to send them out of the room.Steadily and with a close watchful eyes on him,Aurora walked towards the door,the knife still pressed on her neck.She knew she'd pressed his buttons but there was nothing she could do.She'd do anything to keep her pregnancy a secret from this dangerous man.When she was sure of the distance between them,she took to her heels trying to find her way out of the hospital.She was surprised yet grateful none of the doctors and nurses tried to stop her.She overcame her fear and looked back to ch
