“Please tell me that this is a dream, please tell me that this is a dream” Leonardo begged his best friend as he tried to come to terms with the fact that his entire marriage has been nothing but a hoax.&nbs

“From a Distance you look like such a sweet and innocent lady but just like your little girl, you are full of secrets” Ricardo told Signora Meta not holding in any venom in his tone of voice.“You are such an evil man”“At least I do not hide that I am a villain, unlike you and your daughter who hide behind smiles. What do they call it? I forgot the words, oh I think it's called ‘Wolf in sheep's clothing” Ricardo ridiculed Signora Meta whom was not fazed by Ricardo’s words.“When you think about it, it is actually you who is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I mean you have proven yourself to be an impressive liar” She reminded him.“When have I ever lied about who I was?”“Well, you are you walking around pretending to be Leonardo's friend but actually wanting to take his wife from him, Is that not what you would consider a wolf in sheep's clothing?

“How did this happen? How was there a switch between the woman I was supposed to marry and the woman that I married to now? I think its best that you start explaining to me because you will not like it when I get angry” Leonardo threatened them. Everyone who sat in the room looked uncomfortable, until one brave soul stood up and it was AvenaIt was the first time that Leonardo had seen her since he had left the altar and now as he looked at her, Leonardo noticed that she was quite a pretty young woman but nothing like his wife. Both women were beautiful with dark-ski but Avena’s beauty was still no match to that of his wife.Avena looked frail and scared of him, looking down at her feet and playing with her hands rather than looking up at him, until she finally looked at him with tears welled in her eyes.“Hello my name is Avena, I know that you do not know me quite well and that was mainly because Avena took my place the altar.

One day later“I should have known that sooner or later you would betray me” Rhea told Avena, who stood in the center of her living room. For months Avena had refused to let Rhea in on the big secret and if it were not for Ricardo telling her the secret, she would never have known anything.The more she spoke, it felt as though nothing she said had gotten through to Avena who had her hands crossed over her chest and was smiling. An action which only infuriated Rhea more. Looking at Avena, Rhea felt as though she wanted to strangle Avena. After all, Rhea had lost her one chance of having Leonardo to herself. She had thought that by working with Avena, she would get Leonardo but only for her to lose him in the end of it all.“Rhea why are you so upset? I thought you said that you wanted to break up Leonardo and Aurora’s marriage? They are over now, so why are you upset?”“Because I wanted Leonardo t

We are looking for Carina and Metteo Romano” One of the men in the suite asked, his question leaving everyone to stare at Leonardo’s parents.“Yes it is us” his mother responded, pointing at herself and her husband.“I've just come to inform you that the document that was signed for the land has been rejected”“Why has it been rejected?” Signora Carina asked, stunned by what the man in the suite was saying.“Unfortunately only the true heir of the Russo family is allowed to sign on these papers”“What do you mean the papers have been rejected? I am the only heir to the Russo fortune and I personally signed those papers not so long ago” Avena stepped forward as everyone stared at her questionably.“Yes you did but unfortunately you are not the heir” E

“No! This cannot be true, I am the sole owner of all the Russo properties and I will not share it with anyone” Avena yelled, running down the stage with the intent of attacking Aurora but only for Leonardo to trip her into falling on the ground.Within seconds, the church was swarmed with police officers, the main officer walked towards Avena lifting her up from the floor and cuffing her.“Why are you cuffing me, what have I done?”“Avena Russo, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of Rhea, please be quiet as anything you say shall be used against you in the court of law” The officer told her.

Leonardo scribbled on the white board as his students fell still; the exams were near, each student hungrier to learn the last of their work. Underlying the last major heading, Leonardo turned to his classroom only to meet eager eyes looking back at him."Si, is there anything the matter?" Leonardo asked his class, hiding the smile on his face, as he knew that his students had a lot of work to cover before exams. He leaned onto his whiteboard and crossed his hands over his chest.He patiently waited for any of his students to ask him any question on their minds but like always when they were nervous, neither lifted their hands to ask. Pushing himself off the board, Leonardo walked over to his desk and sat down."Well it looks as though you all have it figured out, I expect nothing but one hundred percent from each and every one of you" The classroom erupted into a roar and he smiled, just what Leonardo was hoping for.Years ago, Leonardo had made a decisi

"You are ruining my life!" Avena slammed the door in Aurora's face as she yelled at her parents. Aurora was used to Avena losing her cool with her parents; being the daughter of one of the richest landowners in the whole of Sicily, she was allowed her random outburst. Aurora stood in front of Avena's door; from the outside, Aurora could hear her cussing her head off. Aurora was well aware of the type of girl Avena was but she could not help but feel for her. Often people would describe Avena as spoilt, conceited and downright crazy but Aurora could not help to think that there was more to her than that. "Aurora!" She jumped up as she heard Signora Mia Russo call out to her. "Si, Signora Mia, I am coming!" Aurora responded. Walking down the steps, she fixed her dress, making sure that nothing was out of place. The last thing she wanted was to upset the woman of the house. Aurora arrived at the living room and stopped as she saw both Signor and Signora Russo. She bowed her head as to
