Without seeing whom it was, Rhea was pulled into the classroom and someone’s hand came over her mouth from behind her. Her heart rate increased, thinking that she was about to be kidnapped or even worse… killed.She tried fighting her way out of that person’s strong grip but it was useless, the person holding onto her was clearly too strong for her to maneuver her way out of their grip.“Relax” she heard a familiar voice tell her. 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! If you wanted us to be alone together you could have just told me, you know I would have made a plan” she teased him as she approached him but

“I could see that you were very happy seeing your friend again” Aurora pointed out as she folded the clothes from the laundry, the ones that Leonardo had washed all by himself with the aim of making her workload lighter.“Yes I was happy seeing him and a little upset with him”“Why?”“What do you mean why? 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. He looked at Aurora and he cou

One week laterLeonardo gripped onto the steering wheel but even when he had his attention on the road, he could not help to steal glances at his wife. For the past week he had been occupied with work and due to this, he had to cancel her surprise but even as he was driving her to the spot, she was completely silent.The connection between them during the day was plain and boring and the only time where she would come alive was when they were in bed together, wrapped in each other’s embrace.Leonardo no longer able to take the silence between them, he stopped the car on the side of the road and killed the engine. To his surprise, Aurora had not noticed. Her hand still on her neck, playing with her locket and looking into a far distance.“Avena if you are mad that was busy the entire week then you can go ahead and tell me” Leonardo told her, his voice stern. Aurora turned her head around slowly and looked at Leonardo as though sh

Spending the entire night in their new mansion was beyond anything that Aurora could have ever imagined. And even as she lay in bed with Leonardo, her hands trailing his abs, her mother in-law’s words lingered in her heart.Leonardo had finally managed to tell her the real reason for them leaving his parents mansion, Aurora had been shocked to hear the horrible plans that both Leonardo’s mother and father had hatched up to keep them at the mansion.Although Aurora loved her husband and being the only woman in his life, she could not help but hate the wealth that cam along with it. The kind of wealth that drove people crazy with power, so much that they did not mind sacrificing their own blood to keep their status of being known as wealthy.“If you keep thinking so much, your head might explode” she heard Leonardo speak and she smiled at herself. He turned and his hands came over her, pulling her closer.“You are awake?”

“We have to get you to the hospital” Leonardo told Aurora as worry rang through his vocal cords“No please, I hate hospitals” She answered, yet still in a state of panic. All her life Aurora feared hospitals. Growing up, Aurora would always visit the hospital with her sick mother to get medications and always they would refuse to treat her mother because there was never any funds on their end for the medications. And now that Leonardo had mentioned the hospital, it made Aurora more nervous.“How can you become a doctor when you hate hospitals?” he asked her, trying to keep her talking as a mean of distracting her from her nausea.“It’s not the same thing” she angrily answered him as Leonardo got her off the floor, carried her into their room and laid her onto their bed.“How so?” he asked her, at the same time he dialed the doctors number while Aurora hugged herself and beads of sweat ran d
