Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mrs Matteo Rocco : Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

•AURORA’S POV•Another evening without Matteo in sight for dinner. Not even bothered anymore if he’s eating or not. Haven’t seen him in days so it’s fine. I started picking at my food as I didn’t have much of an appetite.“So, Aurora, how are you coping in your husband’s absence? I know you both are used to being together.” His father’s voice cut through the clinking of silverware, drawing everyone’s eyes to me. “I’m sorry I stole your husband from you but I have work in Monaco which I can’t go. That’s why he went in my stead.”I froze, my heart skipping. Absence? Matteo had left for Monaco?Without a word to me, and I hadn’t even known he’d be leaving. But I forced a smile, gripping my fork tightly as I looked up.“Oh, yes, he mentioned it,” I said, trying to keep my tone light. “It was a last-minute thing, I guess else I would have known earlier to prepare myself for his absence.”Matteo’s father narrowed his eyes, studying me as if he could see right through my

•AURORA’S POV•The morning air felt lighter than usual as I walked downstairs, feeling more confident than I had in days. Today was the day I took a clean break from all the chaos, even if just for a little while. I wanted to get out of the house, head to my dad’s place, and clear my mind without traces of Matteo’s being clouding everything.I spotted Austin near the patio, and I waved him over. He strolled up with his usual calm, friendly smile.“Austin,” I began, trying to sound more confident than I felt, “I’m ready to go. I’d like to leave as soon as possible. Can you help me get to my dad’s place?”He scratched the back of his head, looking slightly awkward. “Actually… I’d love to help, Aurora, but I’m not at your service today.” He shrugged apologetically. “I took a day off. I have some family… obligations to attend to.”I blinked, thrown off by his response. “Oh, I see. I just thought…” I trailed off, trying to hide my disappointment. He’d been my point o

•MATTEO’S POV•(DAY OF AURORA’S KIDNAP)"Are we really doing this, Matteo?" Anthony’s voice sliced through the tense air as we approached the abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Monaco. We had landed Monaco and I was stalling time to meet my uncle for a few days, but he just called us an hour ago to let us know that they still weren’t budging even still and he was out of ideas to make his opponent yield."Do you have a better idea?" I shot back, adjusting my tie. "My uncle has been working on this deal for months. If my uncle loses it now, my father will never let me rest." Anthony smirked, but his eyes scanned the area like a hawk. "Just saying, this isn't exactly your thing. Drugs, blood, uncooperative idiots—you've always stayed out of it." "Not tonight," I said flatly. "Tonight, I prove my worth."We entered the dimly lit building where my uncle, Lorenzo, was already waiting. He paced the room, his hands clasped behind his back. "Finally," he muttered as I

•MATTEO’S POV•The flight back home was the most nerve-wracking experience of my whole existence. My mind was home and my body in a plane, I was fucking disoriented. Anthony on the other hand had started placing calls back home and my dad was in full swing finding Aurora. Aurora's missing father finally made Bella talk, and when I say talk, right from the time In the bridal shop to the honeymoon and all of it. I knew I was in for a long lashing but hopefully, he does that after she’s found.Soon we landed and got into the car that was taking us home, as soon as we got to the front door Anthony slammed the car door shut behind him, his face tight with worry. Bella ran to me hugging me tightly with a worried face before she trailed behind us, her arms folded protectively across her chest.The house was a flurry of activity—guards scattered, phones ringing incessantly, and no one with any answers. I stood in the middle of the chaos, my fists clenched, trying to

•BELLA’S POV •"You have Aurora, don’t you, Alfredo?" I said, my voice sharp the very moment he picked up the call. "Don’t bother lying. I know you do. I know you called my brother. I overheard everything.”The line was silent for a moment, then his voice came through. "Bella, I didn’t expect a call from you. What do you want?" He asked coolly with suspicion hinting in his tone."I want to meet her," I said firmly. "Before you kill her." There was another pause, followed by a low chuckle. "And why would you want to do that? Want to save your sweet sister-in-law?” He asked in a sly tone.I forced a bitter laugh. "Because I want to see her broken, Alfredo. I’ve hated her since the day she stepped into our lives. Matteo used to be strong, focused, and untouchable. Then she came along and turned him into a weakling. She ruined everything." Pausing, I take a break hoping deep down he’s buying my lies.His skepticism was obvious even without seeing him. "You’re telling me yo
