CHAPTER 49: DECEIT
**Flashback**
Leonardo walked out of his room, leaving his wife on their bed. He wanted nothing but to make his wife a meal and get back to her. Her smile had made his long trip back home worth the while.
He could not help but smile as he walked down the hall, past his mother’s room and he stopped as he heard his mother and his father’s voices. Signora Carina has never been an early bird and just as Leonardo was about to unlock on their door, he stopped.
“You need to come up with another plan as soon as possible” Signor Metteo told his wife, his voice less than friendly as he spoke to her.
“I am trying to but this son of ours is stubborn and his wife is not as gullible as we thought she was. I want her to do one thing and she does another” Signora Carina told her husband, irritated that her task was being made more difficult than it needed to be.

The person let go of her, Rhea quickly turned around to confirm that it truly who it was that she was thinking and just like that, she was proven correct.A smile came onto her face as she realized that it was none other than Leonardo looking at her, his face serious but she did not mind because he was here with her and in a dark room.“Leonardo!

She watched as Ricardo walked towards her and stretched out his hands to her.“Gooday, I am Ricardo, Leonardo’s longtime friend” he greeted her, smiling at her, knowing just what she was thinking.“Avena, my friend is greeting you” Leonardo nudged her and Aurora snapped out of her thoughts and shook Ricardo’s hand.“Nice to meet you too—Ricardo” Leonardo stood silent watching both his wife and his best friend as they stared each other down.“Am I missing something?” Leonardo chimed in, hoping to break the icy glare between both his wife and best friend.

He literally almost knocked you over with his car, do you know how fast sports cars are?” Leonardo asked her and Aurora covered her mouth, holding in her laugh.‘It’s not funny Avena, you could have seriously been hurt” He told her. His sad eyes burned into hers and for the first time, she could see fear in Leonardo’s eyes. Aurora placed the folded cloths on their bed, walked over to him, placing her hands on the side of his face.“But I am right here, nothing is wrong with me” she told him, her voice soft, tapping into his emotions.
