Her only sin was having a killer body and innocent face which made the dreaded mafia lord, Lord Cassano obsessed with her. Shaking him off was impossible, he was everywhere. And he must have her, whether she liked it or not. It doesn't matter if he needed to cripple her boyfriend, or threaten her with the lives of her parents to make it happen. All he knew was that Aurora was his, and he was determined to keep her, no matter the cost or consequence. **** “Is this what you call love? You psycho! Every other day, I get kidnapped or threatened by your rivals and numerous enemies, get caught in a gun fire and witness your brutality. You have taken away my freedom and molded me into something I don't recognize. Yes, money is good. But this is not the kind of life I want for myself. I can't bear the curse of being your woman, set me free.” I roared, my eyes blazing with fury. I was past caring at this point, I can't survive this mad man. He hated being challenged, he might as well kill me. But to my surprise, psycho cupped my face and placed his forehead on mine with the most tender expression I have ever seen in his eyes. “I'm sorry, baby love. You have underestimated the degree of my selfishness. I will never let you go—unless you kill me.”
View MoreAURORA’S POVI look at Leonardo who is sitting at the other edge as the car sped towards the hospital. He suddenly smiles as if he thought of something funny, looking out the window, and this time, the smile is genuine and unintentional. “Psycho, why are you here?” I ask, putting on what I hoped was an intimidating no-nonsense expression. He turns to me, no longer smiling. “What's with your attitude? Is this the gratitude you are meant to show your savior?”“Answer me.”He ignored me and reached for his phone, treating my words like air. I huff in anger and turn the other way. After a while, I hear him chuckle and turn. “I heard the little bunny was getting married and rushed to stop the wedding. Who knew that the doomed wedding would stop of its own accord? Hahahaha.” Leonardo utters, his lips curling up in that annoying smirk that made it obvious he was mocking me. I roll my eyes, hiss, and turn away. He can insult me all he wants, I deserve it. “You actually thought a weddin
AURORA’S POVI rush to my father, taking his hand to check his pulse. I breathe out a sigh of relief when I feel his pulse. However it's very weak, far from steady. I quickly turn to the crowd to see if anyone can help us move him. However, dad's colleagues are nowhere to be found. They probably left when things got noisy. The ones remaining are gossipy neighbors and relatives, and those have no car. The rest were from William’s side, and I don't know any of them. “Rose? Where is she?” I shout, turning to mom. “Her boss's assistant arrived earlier than expected, she left when your dad was walking you down the aisle.” Mom replies with tears in her eyes. The boos from the crowd, laughing at me and telling me I killed my father make me feel like trash and I blink back tears, gritting my teeth to hold back the painful emotions. I quickly reach for my purse to order a ride. “There are fifteen orders ahead of you, you will be placed on queue. The wait duration is thirty minutes.” The a
AURORA’S POV“William, what are you doing? Let her go!” My father shouts, rushing to separate us. William pushes me to him and dad quickly catches me. “William, I always thought you were a good child and supported my daughter's relationship with you. I never imagined that you are the kind of man that will raise your hands against a woman.” My dad whispers, not hiding the pain and disappointment in his heart. My mom also rushes to me. “Son, it's fine if you're angry with her. But is there a need to humiliate her like this? If you quarrelled with her, there's also a chance to settle things. If you fell out of love, you could have cancelled the wedding before today. If you suddenly realized at the altar that you were not ready, respectfully declining would have been okay too. But why did you choose the most painful way to humiliate our daughter? Yes, we're not from the same class. But we have never hidden our financial capabilities from you, we don't live fake life. Nor are we beggars
AURORA’S POV“Why isn't he here yet? How long does it take for a man to dress up and enter the damn car?” Rosa asks, pacing around. “Stop pacing. Why do you look even more worried than I, the bride?” I reply, pretending not to be affected. Mom and dad are looking very worried, Rosa my cousin isn't doing anything to hide her anxiety. I was also uncomfortable, knowing that William is already two hours late to such an important event. Is he bailing on me? I sigh and turn to my dad“His parents are already here and greeted the guests with you two. Something must be delaying him and his friends. Just instruct the caterers to entertain the guest. And also tell the guests that they were held up by an emergency and will soon be here.” I say calmly, trying to take control of the issue. Deep inside of me, I'm also nervous. But a tiny part of me is relieved that he didn't show up. Enduring the shame of the wedding not going through will pass away, but not that of a failed marriage. Rosa's ph
AURORA'S POVI think I'm mesmerized by the sight of him. It seems as if I just summoned a demon from hell to fight my battles. I hate the sight of blood, but at this moment, I can't help but cry in relief as I see the blood staining his hands. Knowing that it belongs to the beasts who wanted to devour me. He throws the thug away and he hits the wall convulsing. His men who were chasing after him finally catch up and fall on the thugs, giving them the beating of their lives. The sound of crushing bones suddenly doesn't feel offensive to me, I like it even. Leonardo pulls me into his arms and I break down, bawling like a baby and letting out all the tears, fears and resentment in my heart. I forget my animosity towards him and hug him tightly, crying my eyes out as he pats my back, whispering soft words of comfort that I'm really not paying any attention to. “My baby, sweetheart, don't cry, you break my heart. Shush, I will make them suffer a pain worse than death for having such tho
AURORA BRADLEY’S POVIn the past, whenever I saw William happy, I instinctively felt happy for him too. But not this time. I feel so disappointed that he was more interested in the contract than in my well-being. “William.” My voice finally attracts his attention, for he clears his throat and looks at me. But the way he's looking at me is different from the past, there's almost a hint of disdain. “Mmm. You did well. Good job. Let's go.” He says in brief sentences and quickly turns around, holding the contract like some treasure. I follow him not wanting to be left behind. “Disgusting. He's willing to betray his girlfriend for money. He doesn't know that the boss hates people like him the most. The idiot will learn the hard way.”“Poor girl, such a beautiful gem ended up in the hands of a pig.” I heard the guards whisper. At once, tears cloud my eyes and I begin to feel sorry for myself. Even the guards witnessed my humiliation, where will I put my face?****I just opened the fro
AURORA BRADLEY'S POVHis offer to make a bet made me truly suspicious. Leonardo never takes on a challenge he's not sure of winning. Whatever happens, he will do everything to win. He's one of those people that do not have a bottom line. “What shameless and underhanded scheme are you concocting this time? What guarantee do I have that you won't try to manipulate things to your favor?” “Everything will be transparent, and you will be the sole judge. I will always stay here with you. When will I have the time to pull a fast one on you? I don't know what you heard about me from the tabloid or your parents, but I'm not a terrible person. I may be ruthless, but I'm a man of honor. I never act despicable.” He whispers fervently, holding my shoulders as his eyes begs me to believe him and give him a chance. “Fine. How do you want us to do it?” I mutter, looking everywhere but at his face. “That bastard sent you here as an offering to secure the contract. His intention which he relayed to
AURORA BRADLEYCold sweat covers my skin as I walk out of the elevator holding the contract in my hand. William's condition for pushing the wedding forward was to help him secure a multi million dollar contract with Apex group. According to him, the chairman is harsh but principled, making him soft on women, which will make it easier for me to secure the contract. If he goes himself, it may not go smoothly. All these seem fishy and irrational to me, but securing the contract is the only way I can escape that psycho.Once William gets the deposit from the company after I secure the contract, he will add a part of it to my savings to finance the wedding. I have to push on to secure our future. Apex group is one of the most powerful conglomerates, securing a project from them will help William to upgrade his family's company, and our children won't have to suffer. I feel someone touch my hand and look at him. “Are you nervous?” William asks, smiling at me. “A bit.” I answer, trying my
Leonardo shifts my singlet up and exposes my boobs, startling me. Before I can cover myself or fight him off, his lips latch onto my nipple, making my heart jump out of my body. His hand is also caressing my thighs, messing with my brain. I shake my head to chase away the feelings and immediately slap him. He looks up at me and bites his lips, looking straight into my eyes. “I couldn't stop myself, I'm sorry.” He whispers without sincerity. He will definitely do it again if he gets the chance. He fishes out a clean white handkerchief from his pocket and wipes the liquid from between my legs, carefully drying my panties. A bell goes off in my mind as I realize what I just did. I let my brother's murderer touch and pleasure me. I'm damned. “You, do you take me for a slut you can toy with as you please?” I growl angrily, quickly adjusting my clothes as tears sting my eyes. “No sweetheart. You're my angel. You're the only woman I have touched in many years. I…” He sighs at this point.
LEONARDO CASSANO'S POV“Look at that girl, she's pretty, isn't she?” Alex asks, tapping me. I roll my eyes and look up to humor him, expecting to see another of his strippers or pole dancers. But instead, my eyes see an angel. She’s dressed in white shorts, black tank top and white jacket. Her little feet are encased in block heels, and she’s currently sitting at the bar with a group of friends.Even though I'm seated a bit far from her, I can see her clearly. She's like a star, drawing all the lights to herself. The girl is a bit tall, with a perfect figure that kills. Even that jacket can't hide the beauty underneath. Her hair is auburn colored, and her face looks so beautiful, like something straight out of a fairytale. I have seen my share of beautiful women, but this one before me is on a different level. Maybe, it's the aura of innocence around her. She looks young, probably around nineteen or twenty. She can't be younger than that, she's definitely an adult. Otherwise the gua...
