Chapter 5

Aurora wiped her tears and got up from the chair.

Amber Hill followed two seconds later.Perhaps she was still in shock after the menacing voice she just heard.

Aurora began to straighten her dress.She buckled her boot and tossed her mask aside.Anger filling her heart.

"A-aurora was..was that the Don?" stammered Amber.

"Yes." Aurora answered as she tucked her phone into her jean pocket.

Amber held her arm just when she was about to leave.

"Aurora!" she yelled "Are you seriously going to go there?!"

"What do you want me to do?!" she snapped "Sit here and shake in fear?!"

"No.." Amber sighed "Just..just call and apologize and the agree to the-"

Aurora raised her hand

"Marry someone as ruthless as him?? How can you advice that to me,Amber?! He f*cking threatened to murder my parent!"

Amber held her hands.

"Please be calm! Don't take out your anger on me,okay?? I am just trying to help"

"Listen to me,Aurora.Dont mess with him further." she sighed "I am scared for you.He didn't look like he was bluffing-"

"That is why you should let me leave now!" Aurora snatched her arm away.

Amber stopped her from leaving again.

"Aurora stop being stubborn! Remember you're pregnant! Please calm down and try to see things from my-"

"No, Amber." replied Aurora "Both you and Matteo's perspective are based on fear.I am not scared of that man!" declared Aurora

"I rather die along with my child than marry him!"

Amber shook her head.She knew that at the rate they wouldn't resolve this issue.

Due to Aurora's anger she wouldn't want to listen to anyone now.

"Okay." Amber resigned "How about you go along with the police? Just anything but don't go alone"

"Get out of the way,Amber.You're wasting time!" she moved to leave but she blocked her way again.

"Aurora please don't do this"

"I'm sorry" she apologized before walking out of the house.

"Don..please...please don't..don't harm my..my daughter." pleaded the distraught father "She.. she's just a twenty two years old child.She doesn't know the gravity of her mistake"

Luca Genovese smoked his cigarette while staring at the frightened man.

At the end of his last sentence,Luca smirked.

"So what are you saying?" he began "That a dove had urged her to hop on its back and flew away?" joked the Don.

He hissed slightly "The voice from earlier didn't seem like a child's voice.It rather felt like a woman who knew exactly what would happen"

He tossed the cigarette away and grabbed the wine glass.

"Don..if..if you kill her..how..how would I pay your debt?? Please don't..don't make a mistake!" the bodyguard hit him across the face.

Mrs Tate could only weep and curse Aurora in her heart for this.

"Kill her?" he chuckled "Not before she faces the same embarrassment and shame she brought to my family!"

"Don-"

"Shut your f*cking mouth up!" he ordered.

Just then a bodyguard showed up in the front door.

"Don,"

Luca turned

"She's here" the guard reported

Luca moved and picked up his gun lieing peacefully on the bed.

He dusted it even when it was clean.

"I said let go!" screamed the voice of a woman "Don't touch me! I will blow your ugly looking heads off!"

Luca went and sat back on his chair.

Aurora stopped in front of the room,the guards unable to stop her.

Seeing her father and mother tied up in the chair,she didn't waste time in entering the room and instantly untieing them.

However,before she could stand straight again her mother dashed her a huge slap across the face,making her waist length hair sway to the right.

"I'm ashamed of you Aurora!" cried her mother "You know the state of my health,how could you-" Mrs Tate began to cough violently.

Aurora rushed to her side but Mrs Tate collapsed then.

A gunshot rang in the room.Aurora winced.

The moment she looked up,her father was the next.

The Don had shot him on the thigh, and he was bleeding profusely.

"Oh my God.." screamed Aurora

"It was just a warning," he gestured to the bodyguard who brought a document and threw it at Aurora on the floor.

"Oh dad..." she cried as she used her already soaked hand to press on the bleeding wound.

"Sign those papers and I'll get the doctors immediately." said the Don.

"That,or another bullet through his head this time"

Aurora gritted her teeth,

He kneeled beside her and leaned towards her ear.

"Your mother's still on the floor" he reminded with a smooth smirk on his lips.

Her father groaned in pains.Aurora was at a loss for what to do.

Even her hand on the wound was no longer exerting the pressure it is supposed to.

Her body went weak that instant.All her walls and anger dissolved with no impression that it had been there.

If it were her,she definitely wouldn't have minded dieing.

But her parents..

She sighed as the tears ran down her cheeks.

This was too hard to decide from.

She heard the click of the trigger and a gasp escaped her lips.

She immediately took the pen and signed every document in it.

Her tears dropped on the piece of paper.

Luca lowered beside her.His thumb gently wiping away her tears.

She moved away.

"You caused it." he whispered.

The bodyguard led Mr and Mrs Tate out of the room.

"Did you really think that I'd want to marry a lowlife like you? My plan was to get a divorce soon after the marriage however you ruined it."

He lowered his eyes.

"So we'll have to face the shame together."

She turned her teary eyes towards his.Her face red from crying.

She bit on her lips unable to control her weakness.Her lips trembled.

"T-,tttt" he shook his head "Pathetic!" he mocked and then rose on his feet.

"Congratulations,Mrs Aurora Luca Genovese"
