The previous incident came rushing into her mind the moment her eyes flew open."Hi!" Andrea jumped up from the couch the moment she saw Aurora awake. "How do you feel?"Rather than reply, Aurora's eyes wandered around the room she was in.It was beautifully decorated,scented nicely in contrast to a hospital room.Andrea understood.She sighed softly."Leo was here," she began to explain "He managed to calm Luca down and had you brought to the VIP ward."Aurora still said nothing."Aurora," she held her hand,surprised Aurora's gaze flew towards her "I..I know our relationship as sister in laws isn't as close as it should be but I would always be available to help you whenever.""The only help I need is to get a divorce from Luca Genovese," she turned her gaze back to Andrea "Can you help me?"Andrea went silent for a minute"Exactly what I expected," Aurora said.After a pause she added, "You should go back home,Mrs Genovese might need you""She doesn't." came Andrea's response "She hate
"Yes,of course" came the warm voice of Christopher Russell,he shook hands with the business man whose eyes were constantly on Aurora. "It was nice meeting you, sir"The man nodded and moved towards Aurora who didn't see him coming.She had been deep in thoughts since yesterday after seeing Luca and the woman in his arms.She didn't know why,but she couldn't stop thinking about it.Due to this,she didn't see when Christopher and the man sauntered towards her.With the files in her hands,Aurora stood still as a tree."Meet my personal assistant, Aurora" Christopher introduced "She's the best!" he declared.Stretching out his fat hand for a pleasant handshake,the man was surprised to see that she didn't respond.Christopher coughed as if to tell her what to do however,Aurora was so deep in thoughts that she could pass as a dead person.Christopher placed his hand on her shoulder,the touch sending waves through her body which resulted to her dropping the files out of fear with a loud gasp.
Aurora Genovese fitted perfectly into the black dress.It was plain,simple and very beautiful.Although stress was evident on her face she still decided to go.It was better than sitting here thinking about Luca and his mistress.She matted her lips that was clothed in red together and began to style her long dark hair.She was few minutes late and only begged Christopher's driver for some more time.Lately, she'd been getting the signs of early pregnancy like feeling nauseous at the smell of spicy foods and drinks and even cigarettes which Christopher Russell smokes almost all the time.It was understandable because it was his way of relieving the stress.As the only son,the burden would surely be heavy.Her pearl necklace rested on her neck and when she stared at her reflection in the mirror she simply sighed,almost asking God why he took so much time on her.Despite the simple dress,she still looked breathtaking.No one would believe she was just a PA to Christopher.Everyone would criti
There was a loud uproar the moment Aurora stepped into the hall with her arm around Christopher's arm and his hand on her waist.She didn't know the cause of the noise but the moment she raised her eyes to meet thousands of eyes staring at her she understood.It appeared her scandal with the Genovese's brought her back to spotlight as she was easily recognized wherever she went.Now would have been the right time to step back to avoid Luca's wrath but Aurora returned their gazes cheerfully.After all,it wouldn't be the first time they'd criticize her.If it weren't for her high heels and how dizzy she could get,she wouldn't have held unto Christopher who was enjoying every bit of it.He soon led them to where his friends were seated,he helped Aurora sit and he settled beside her chatting happily with his friends.There was something different about him and it was so obvious.He was happy and somewhat proud that he'd come in company of undeniably, the most beautiful woman in the hall at
Christopher Russell went down with a broken nose,however,Luca didn't stop at that and no one was bold enough to stop him.With his own hands,he rained blows on Christopher,throwing him on top tables like a ragdoll.He smashed against wine bottles and broken glasses that his suit was getting soaked with his own blood.Christopher was sprawled on the floor and wasn't moving anymore yet Luca grabbed him and continued to punch his face,the blood from his broken nose spattering across Luca's knuckles.Aurora was too shocked the moment Luca appeared in front of her.She felt as if a witch had casted a spell.She tried to stop him but his guards held her back and refused to let her go."Let go off me!" she screamed "Let go,you bastards! Can't you see he's crazy? He's gonna kill him! Someone stop him!" she shouted at the top of her voice but no one listened to her.Christopher was beaten into unconsciousness but not without first hearing Luca's words."You're so lucky I didn't come with a gun,"
The door closing sent shivers down Aurora's spine.She had no idea what was in store for her.She could see his hand trembling violently.He looked frail and in need of help on how to control his temper yet he appeared strong and daring.He turned to her,slowly unbuttoning his shirt he held her gaze in the dimly lit room.Aurora began to step back as she prayed he wouldn't do this to her.That would be more than she could bear."Why didn't you put on your ring?" he began,his voice low and firm "I gave out basic instructions and you did what,Aurora?!"He flung his shirt aside,standing bare-chested in front of her he began to undo his belt."Luca-" her voice trailed off as she didn't know whether to beg or act stiff. "I..I didn't accompany him there as anything more than his..than his PA""PA? Is that so?" he began to walk casually towards where she stood, pressed to the wall "Have you ever heard of a PA dancing with her boss? You didn't just flirt with him,you threw my warning back to my fa
Andrea snapped out of the awkward moment and went over to Aurora."Are you okay? Did..did he hurt you?"Thinking about it,Aurora didn't know whether he did or not.She simply shook her head.Andrea nodded."I'll get another room made for you." she said as she stared at the scattered debris all over the place before leaving the room.Aurora felt the burning gaze from Leo,she held the sheets even more tightly but that wasn't what was going on in Leo's mind.The broken items all over the place showed one thing-the torment was coming back and even greater than it had when Rachel died.He feared for the life of his brother."What did he say to you?" he asked.Aurora opened her lips to speak but thought against it and simply shook her head."Don't hide it from me." Leo implored "I need to know.Luca hasn't been feeling good since the death of his wife,he needs help psychologically." "I don't know!" declared Aurora,the atmosphere was tense and none could make sense of anything "He's... He's ine
She pushed him off of her and got up from the bed, straightening her large shirt."..but first you have to get your wounds treated.I can't stand the sight of blood." He continued staring at her,still in awe over what he heard but she didn't wait for him to think of a response.She went into the bathroom and fetched the first aid box.She came and lowered herself beside him,opening the box and taking a piece of cotton wool which she diluted with a methylated agent and began to clean his wounds.Even though she placed all her focus on what she was doing,she could feel his gaze over her and she was trying to think of a way to leave after cleaning up his wounds.She'd only said that to make him comply and he did but at the end of it,she didn't know what would happen.She took another thick piece of cotton wool and was about to repeat the process when,"Did you really mean what you said?" his deep voice cajoled her senses.It was obvious he really believed her and couldn't stop thinking abo
