Aurora gritted her teeth.
Luca didn't waste anymore time staring at her,he walked past her his shoulders brushing hers.The bodyguards went after him.Andrea got up from her seat and pulled her to the dinner table.Mrs Genovese's cutleries clanked on her ceramic plate followed by her loud and long hiss,after which she stormed off the house.Aurora wondered why these two were unexpectedly kind to her.As she began eating,she stopped at a point."Not being ungrateful,but I have to know why you're both kind towards me" she broke the silence.Andrea raised her head,"What would we gain by acting wicked towards you?" she answered.Aurora studied her."I disgraced your brother-in-law." she returned"Being kind to you doesn't mean we justify what you did" answered Leo "We're just doing what is right"He wiped his lips and got up from his seat.After planting a soft kiss on Andrea's forehead he grabbed his suit jacket and left the house.Again,Aurora missed Matteo.Everything she was seeing between Leo and Andrea are something that her and Matteo used to do."Hey.." Andrea broke her chain of thought "It's only normal for them to be mad at your behaviour" she explained "Why don't you just apologize?""Why should I?" retorted Aurora "I didn't do anything wrong"Andrea stared at her.Aurora shrugged."No one listened to me when I disagreed to this marriage.How else would I prove my point if not running away?""Now you're married to him and you cannot afford to be at war with your family." Andrea spoke calmly not minding Aurora's revolting tone."Your family" she corrected "I am not accepted here and I don't want to be accepted.""I can't even imagine myself being a part of this.. family" Aurora continued "I will work hard and pay back all the debt my parents owe your brother-in-law"...."I am sorry,Mr Russel" apologized Aurora for the second timeMr Russel continued to stare at her."I knew you might show up late or not show up at all considering the fact that you ran away from your own wedding"He was expecting her to say something,but she didn't."Tell me,Aurora how could you do something like that? Didn't you know to whom you were getting married to?""Sir, I'll prefer we don't dive into my personal life" came her reply"I am not married to the Don." she lied "That was the past now please can we forget about it""Please inform the rest of the employees that I'm not married to the Mafia.When I walked in they were all staring at me like I am no longer a part of-""We can't entirely blame them." he cut her short "No one wants to have an encounter with Don Genovese.Everyone will make sure to stay away from you as from now on""Why? Have I turned to a plague?"Mr Russel got up up from his chair."Greater than that" he answered "The truth is most of the men have eyes on you,Aurora.You're one fierce woman" he grinned"However now that the Mafia has clutched you-""He hasn't" she returned firmly "I told you I'm not married to him!"Mr Russel smiled "Do you really not know the small town you live in,girl? This is Riverdale!"Aurora didn't understand.Mr Russel spread out his arms."We have arranged a small party for you tonight.Just a small honor, Aurora"He came close to her "How could you keep such thing from me,Aurora?"He held her hands "I thought we were friends?"Aurora gasped when he pressed his hand against hers.She immediately withdrew.He smiled ridiculously and stepped back,"Still,I wish you a very happy married life" he turned "Aurora Genovese"At the opening of the door, Aurora's eyes followed suit. Luca stepped into the room unsure of what to do. He had no idea if Aurora was mad at him thinking that he'd left her all alone to suffer.However it was the complete opposite.With mouth and eyes wide open, Aurora climbed out of the bed and stopped when her feet touched the ground. She stared at the man in front of her."Luca," she whispered as if she was in a dream and it was too good to be true. She was proved wrong when Luca covered the distance between them in quick long strides, took her chin between his fingers and kissed her. Amber immediately scrambled for her phone in between giggles and took several shot.Seeing that she was still in doubt, Luca placed his hand on her waist and pressed her body to him as if to say, it's truly me, Aurora.Her hand went to his hair- her favorite spot as their kissing intensified. If Andrea did not take the initiative to leave the couple, Amber would have never stopped taking pictures.Eve
When the nurse Dr. Bryan sent out of the theatre room pulled the doors open, Luca took the opportunity and dragged the poor lady outside."Where's my wife?""She's.. she's inside.."Luca wasted no time and walked into the room. His eyes immediately fell upon Aurora. He cringed at the sight of her. Her skin was bruised and battered on every side.He marched towards the doctor and punched him through the face. He jerked him up."What do you think you're doing?""S-sir...please.. don't, don't kill me. I..I promise I haven't done anything to her. The other guy forced me to do this...I..I never wanted to but I had no choice. He would kill me if I didn't."The machine went off, making a noisy sound. They're gaze fell on it and then back to Aurora."What's happening to her?" Luca let go the doctor's collar and hurried towards Aurora's bed while the Doctor and the nurses went into figuring out what the problem was."Aurora.." Luca whispered, almost stopping himself from screaming. This was the
Luca found the door to the small house ajar but not first noticing the drops of blood on the floor. He clenched his jaw and followed the directives of the gps tracker.It led him to the back of the house where the diamond ring glowed softly, alone in the dirt. He picked it up and dusted it, then turned around and walked into the house.He headed up the stairs first and into the room Aurora had stayed in. Something drew him into the bathroom and blood-stained tissues lay in numbers inside the bath. He walked out of there immediately and stopped by Alex's room. There was nothing to see except his mother's portrait hanging on the wall.Luca was about to leave when he caught sight of a paper lieing on the drawer close to the bed. At this point, everything mattered. So he walked over to it and picked it up. He was shocked to find Aurora's pregnancy report. He stopped reading when he found the section secluded 'a new foetus ' which was marked blue and the previous foetus marked red which me
The door was just few seconds from giving way when Aurora realized that crying wouldn't help. Since she had already figured that no one was coming to save her, she had herself only.She grabbed the kitchen knife and wiped her tears, trying to control the rate of her heart beat with every hit Alex had on the breaking door.Her grip around the knife tightened. Now was not the time to act scared. The lives of her kids were at stake. The door gave way, creating a thud.She stretched out the knife. Alex looked like he would kill her right there. He stepped on the door and into the kitchen, his hair scattered about his forehead with red eyes."Don't make me do this, Aurora. Don't make this hard enough!" "Dare to come near me and I promise I won't hesitate to commit my first murder!" she warned, her hand with the knife trembling."You won't do that," Alex said as a matter-of-fact "Don't underestimate me, Alex." she retorted "I have every reason to kill you! And nothing will stop me, not ev
Leo was seating on the couch inside of Luca's ward, angrily watching the latter munching salad as the laptop rested on his laps.Suddenly, he pushed the plate of salad on the ground as he watched in horror. Leo abruptly got up and continued to stare at Luca. The look on Luca's face is the look Leo has been expecting since Aurora's abduction and things changed. "Get Austin," Luca ordered. However confused, Leo still didn't understand what was going on."Get me Austin, Leo! Immediately!"Leo brought out his phone and called the latter's number. Although he didn't pick up, he was there the next minute."Luca what is going on??" Leo asked, scared at the turn of event. A while ago Luca remained non-chalant and now suddenly he was acting weird. Did the situation of Aurora's abduction just sink into his head?"Leave, Leo." Luca ordered"Luca, what is wrong with you?!""Leo, leave!!" he yelled more loudly this time and Leo turned back and left, muttering curses under his breath.Andrea met L
Leo met Andrea outside the hospital and they both walked towards Luca's ward. Since his recovery, Andrea had not visited him. Her visit had motives which were to ask about his plan on getting Aurora back.Yesterday, Amber had thrown a fit and it wasn't entirely far from the truth. Besides, she had stayed with Alex for a short time and she didn't want to experience such a thing ever again.Leo placed his hand on the knob to open the door, however Austin opened the door from behind and walked out first. Leo and Andrea looked at him and then back at themselves before they walked into the ward.Leo saw that Luca had his clothes changed and a laptop rested on his thighs as he busied himself with God knows what. Recently, Leo was in the dark about Luca's plan. Only Austin knew what was going on and he wouldn't disclose it to Leo.Even when Leo tried to get Luca to speak, he wouldn't say a word either. The laptop seem to hold a secret that none of them could fathom.They stopped by his bed.
