Chapter 8
Matteo's POVWhile my body was aroused by the 'Mary' who was giving me a lapdance; I didn't bother knowing her name, I fixed my eyes on Aurora who looked sultry in her red dress. She looked so quiet and out of place but she still composed herself as she fed her eyes.I brought her here to tease her and make her jealous, that was why I asked Angelo to get a girl or stay behind the scene.My dick was ready to have a good time, but my heart yearned to be with her and have some fun. I shoved the yearning away, jerking up like the feelings were abominable.They were, because I didn't want to be controlled by a woman just because of some feelings."Do you want more of this ass upstairs?" Mary asked in a raspy tone as I glared at her."You don't ask the questions here, I do that." I thundered as she shivered, but her fear didn't reduce the hunger in her eyes which made me wonder when a whore began to lust after a man.The Outfit had several clubs with women working in them. I had just one romancer who brought more girls to the club and slept with them before employing them. Some of them were mainly strippers who I didn't allow to become whores so that they could focus on their jobs.So the idea was that the strippers would make the 'johns' horny like I was, then the whores would take care of the men.I never went to any club which didn't belong to me because of the stress that came with it."Let's go upstairs," I rumbled and she nodded, her body tensing with anticipation. I was going to fuck her brains out and then she'd never want me again.Immediately I opened the door, I took off my shirt and unbuckled my belt. "Strip!" I ordered and she took off the pasties then the thong.I stared at her face but saw Aurora smoky gray eyes instead. "Get down on your knees," I ordered as I unzipped my trouser and freed my dick from its briefs.She lubricated herself slowly, touching herself inside her hole and her clit which turned me on further. I stood behind her ass which was bent over the bed and plunged into her hole without warning.A scream escaped her lips as writhed on the bed. My cock was long and thick which I took pride in. I enjoyed the fact that the lady before me screamed for it.I gripped her hair and spanked her hard while going deeper and harder. Her fitful outbursts were like music to my soul. Then I felt it, my release and went at a speed I'd never gone before and came in a guttural groan.********I was enraged when I saw another man on top of her, trying to get what was mine. The pleasure I had in the room was forgotten the moment I heard her scream.I yanked her away from him and watched her straighten her dress. Her hair was tousled because of the bastard and not me. I glared at him and the guards took him to the torture room immediately. Chopping off his finger would teach him not to mess with anyone who belonged to me."You don't look good, Aurora. Should I take you home or make it up to you?""There's no need for that, you never wanted me to have fun in the first place." She pushed out of my hold and carried her bag.Angelo came out and walked towards me with his smirk that had become constant whenever he saw me with her. "That girl almost got hurt because of your crazy antics. Who brings a woman to a club, abandons her to sleep with a whore? That was really disrespectful," He whispered while Aurora looked around.Her eyelids were lowering in tiredness, she clutched tightly onto her bag with her arms folded."I just wanted to prove a point and I did. She was madly jealous when I came to her." I drawled with my eyes fixed on her.For some strange reason, I didn't want any man around her. I was the only man allowed to come near her."You're crazy, Matteo. But have this at the back of your mind that you don't own her and she can date whoever she wants."My heart constricted at his words and for a moment, I felt like punching him in the face. "Don't say that again. I'll get her soon, you'll see."He shrugged, tired of our conversation. "I've got a hot chick waiting for me so take the young girl home please. She needs to rest," He said and patted me on the back, before moving over to a short woman who was almost half naked.I snorted at the sight of her. Was this what he referred to as hot? Maybe he should take a good look at Aurora again."Let's go," I said to Aurora who nodded and walked towards the exit.I stayed behind her for her safety and so that I could have a good look at her ass which swayed furiously.Apologising wasn't my forte, I preferred giving gifts or doing something extra instead of mouthing the word 'sorry'. "Are you alright?" I asked when the silence in the car became unbearable."I think I am. Once I lay on the bed, I'll be perfectly fine.""Look, I'm sorry for not watching over you." The words tasted like lime as they left my mouth, but the smile I was given replaced my sour feeling."It's fine. You're the Capo so almost every woman wants to be around you." She stated and looked away."That's true, but if I don't want any other person but you?"She chuckled drily, "You only want me so that you can prove a point and not because you really want me."Another thing I liked about her was her ability to say the truth without fear. Other ladies wanted to lick the ground I walk on, but the woman beside me didn't even care about me."Allow me to change that notion you have about me. Let's go out for dinner tomorrow and have a normal conversation. What do you think?""I don't think I want to go." She replied with a smile."You have to come for dinner, besides, I'm your boss."We stopped at the front of the gate and then I stopped since I still had to return to the club and take care of the unfinished business."Then you shouldn't have asked me. If you want to make it up to me then put in the effort," She stated and removed the seat belt."Alright. But don't fail me,""I'll think about it." She replied and came out of the car, slamming it shut then I reversed and drove away to skin the young man alive.My phone rang and I picked, "Is he ready for me?""Yes!" Francesco growled and I dropped the call.Chapter 9Aurora's POV Seeing Matteo protect me last night, with his teeth clenched in anger and his muscles flexing visibly from his black dress shirt, I felt a natural sense of belonging. My mind scowled at the thought that I was enjoying Matteo's attention but my heart clamored for it. I stretched under my covers and sat up, fluttering my eyelids. My gaze darted towards the clock which showed that it was past 8am.I scrambled away from the covers and tossed on my night robe. Breakfast was supposed to be ready before 7am, but thanks to Matteo I was late. For a strange reason, I wasn't scared of what Matteo or his brother would say, rather my heart thudded in anticipation of what Ginevra would do. Her deep glare and scathing look was scary enough to make a sinner repent. I wondered how Ilaria coped with her before I came. Surprised washed over me when I climbed quickly down the stairs, gripping the rail for support as I got to the last row to meet the table set. My legs moved fa
Chapter 10Aurora's POVI swirled around to find Ginevra glaring at me with a disapproving scowl, while I met her icy stare with a look of nonchalance. If she thought that she could intimidate me into saying anything that I didn't want to say to her then she had to be joking. "What are you planning to do?" She reiterated. "Nothing that concerns you, Ginevra. Am I not allowed some privacy in this house?" I tilted my lips to the side with a cocky stare. She was thrown off balance by my response but I didn't care. Someone needed to put her in her place and I was willing to do it wholeheartedly. She turned the door knob, pushing the door quietly as I gasped. If I knew that she was this discreet, I'd have locked the door before making the call but that would have only brought more suspicion.I moved away from the window and clutched tightly to my phone. I couldn't understand what set my body on edge whenever I was around her, and my instincts always gave me a bad signal when she was ne
Chapter 11Matteo's POV My attention got depleted the moment I saw Aurora taking off the robe she had on when she got to the pool. At that point, I wanted nothing more but to rip her bra and thong off and make her come in the most violent way possible. I couldn't deny that seeing Angelo stung me with jealousy but he was my younger brother, and he wouldn't go after whoever he knew that I liked. I held back because I didn't want to be too forward and behave like I was a sucker for her. So I delved into my work and got interrupted by a phone call from Francesco. "Good morning boss," He greeted in his usual rumble. "Morning, Francesco." I replied and clicked on my mouse to go through a review that was sent to me. "I've got news from our allies. Some other gangs has promised to give our support in claiming the Neapolitan territory, but they said that we have to give them more time." He paused. One of the reasons I liked working with Francesco was his ability to go straight to the po
Chapter 12Matteo's POV My lips parted as she kept muttering the name over and over again. "Is that your uncle?" I asked softly and she snapped her lips shut and made an attempt to sit up but it failed as she winced. "Are you alright?" I stood up from the edge of the bed and sat beside her. Her body tensed then relaxed as she breathed evenly again. Her bright eyes were squinted as she kept her lips pursed. "Thank God, she's getting better. I want to know who will be in charge of her medications." Doctor Luca asked and I raised my hand with enthusiasm then dropped it when I realized that I was being too obvious. "I don't want her to waste your time and effort and someone needs to ensure that she's back on her feet to prepare breakfast tomorrow, so I'll do it." I offered. Ginevra sneered, then said, "Another day of lazing around." I gave her a look that reminded her that I was Capo which shut her mouth. She hadn't seen me torturing people before or dishing out punishments and the
Chapter 13Aurora's POV I slowly got up from the bed and drew away the covers, reducing the level of the air conditioner with the remote I found on the bed stand. My mind flashed back to my collapse at the pool and I wondered why I fainted. The last time I swam, I had the same experience but it wasn't this severe. All the same I was happy that Angelo was there to help me, and then Matteo, he held onto me like I was a treasure about to be lost. The single act tore a chunk off the walls I'd surrounded myself with. But that wasn't what I wanted, I needed to be done with my revenge and move on with my life. I scanned the room slowly, then realized it wasn't mine. I'd noticed that I wasn't in my room when I woke up but I blamed it on my collapses, but now that I felt better, the ambience was quite different and the size was bigger than mine. My eyes were still scrutinising the room when the door swung open, causing me to jolt in surprise. Matteo closed the door as he got in and stared
Chapter 14Aurora's POV I couldn't deny that Matteo's rebuff hurt me more than a dagger thrust into my heart. Maybe I was hoping for too much and I failed to realise that nothing romantic could ever happen between us, not even the dinner he asked for. My mind flashed back to the sparring match and wondered why he wanted to fight with his brother. I didn't see Angelo as a violent person, but then, he was a descendant and the second son of Aldo Moretti. Violence ran through his veins. Sparring matches weren't new to me since we had lots of them where I came from, but I wanted to know how it went so I headed for the kitchen where I'd find Ilaria. I worried about how Matteo would fight with his injured hands, then I shook off the feeling of worry. It wasn't my business. "Are you busy?" I asked, putting on my apron. Matteo asked me not to cook but I wasn't sure I could obey his order and stay away from the kitchen when I wasn't lying on a hospital bed. She jolted at my voice and near
Losing control Matteo's POV There was only one person who had that voice but I doubted she was the one. Maybe I'd thought about her too much and it made me hallucinate about her presence. The overwhelming rush of Adrenaline which surged through my veins came to a halt, and then I stared at my brother who wore a wary expression mixed with disappointment and glints of anger. I gasped, feeling hurt and angry at myself. How could I have thought of hitting my younger brother so hard? He was the only family I had. The arena which was calm because of the scream went agog with loud whispers and soon they turned into angry rants as a woman tried to force her way through. I squinted my eyes to be sure that I wasn't hallucinating again but it was her, Aurora, forcing her way through the crowd like an angry lioness. Her resilience marveled me even though I was pissed that she went against my order. I motioned for the referee to come closer and he bowed his head so I could tell him what to
Chapter 16Matteo's POV My eyes almost burned with tears when I got into the room he was kept in and I saw his face scrunched in pain as they tried to relocate his arm to its position. I did that!! And I'd have done more if Aurora didn't stop me. "You'll be fine, I promise." I said to Angelo who ignored me and shut his eyes. "You were going overboard, brother. That wasn't supposed to be a death match, you just wanted us to spar like the old times and everyone goes home. I can never trust you again," He lashed out and panted. "I promise I'll tell you what happened, but focus on recovering for now." I called Doctor Luca aside who is in charge of the medical team. "There's no other real damage apart from the dislocation, right?" He shook his head, "There isn't. I only sent one of my team members to call you because your brother was tense and he said that we shouldn't commence treatment if you aren't around." My lips stretched into a tired smile. Even with his outburst, he still w
Chapter 80Aurora's POV It's my wedding! Excitement surged through me as I cast a glance at my beautiful wedding dress. Matteo repeated it severally that it was a one time event so I had to look the part even though we didn't invite so many people. Aunt Giselle who was my bridesmaid kept walking around to make sure that things were in order. She had been doing that for the past two months but she had never really been satisfied with her efforts. It made me realise that she was a perfectionist to the core and Angelo was in it for a long ride. Sofia did well with my face. I had asked for a simple, but subtle make-up and she did just that. I was looking like a bride already and I couldn't wait to put on my dress. "I'm done." She announced after putting the finishing touches on my lips which looked plump and alluring. I rose up from the vanity stool and walked to the wardrobe where the dress was hung, then took off my white dressing robe which left me on just my panties. My eyes l
Chapter 79Aurora's POV I was staring at the rock that was seated on my engagement finger with Maya at the crook of my arm and a smile crept up to my lips. I didn't really expect Matteo to engage me so fast, but it was still surprising that I'd become a wife soon and not just any wife, the Capo's wife. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" I asked Maya whose eyes shone brightly at me then she flashed a toothless smile like she understood what I asked. The sound of footsteps disrupted my thoughts so I looked up and found Aunt Giselle walking toward me. Today was my first fitting for my wedding dress and Matteo and I wanted it to be perfect. "You know, if you keep staring at that ring like that, I'll have to ask Angelo for mine." She joked, propping her arms against her waist, then she bent over and carried Maya from me. My cheeks felt hot at her words and I didn't need to look at the mirror to know that I was blushing. "I can't help but stare, auntie. Matteo is just a sweet man, isn't he?"
Chapter 78Matteo's POV I heard a roaring blaze, then the fire alarm blaring loudly in my ears. Ginevra had stabbed me in a bad place but I could leave with it. "Let's go, Aurora." I said and she shook her head, horror glaring from her eyes. "I don't think we are going to make it. The house is on fire already and we can't go through the front door." She shrieked in fear while I brought her close to myself. "Don't be scared, baby. We will." I assured her as I steered her through the living room which was messed up with blood and human flesh towards the emergency exit of the house which was connected to the safe room. The window burst open with shards of glasses splattering all over the floor. Then Francesco chose that point to come inside with a man whose face was badly battered, his head bleeding heavily. "You're still alive? I thought you could use the souvenir." He joked, dumping him to the ground. I rolled my eyes. "We need to get out of here, Maya is in danger of being
Chapter 77 Aurora's POVI watched Matteo and Ginevra exchange words while working hard to loosen the tight rope tied on my wrists. It was difficult as Ginevra did well in making sure that the knot proved hard to loose. She was mistaken anyway because I had some knowledge from the street which included picking locks and untying knots. Then I stopped as soon as Ginevra blurted her crazy offer. She wanted to have sex with Matteo right in front of me? Immediately my brain began to create images of the both of them having wild sex in front of me, causing me to cough in anger. She averted her gaze from Matteo and smiled at me, her eyes taunting and mischievous. Who could have known that Ginevra was this evil? I'd always sensed something ominous about her, but I didn't know that she had gone beyond being merely crazy to psychotic. "You don't like the idea, right, honey?" She asked, her set of teeth flashing at me. "You are despicable." I spat and felt the rope come loose. My words cau
Chapter 76 Matteo's POV With my hands folded behind me, I paced to and fro in the control room. "Now we know that Ginevra is alive, but there's another problem." I reckoned. "What could that be?" "We don't know where she might be right now and that is a very big disadvantage to us because she might be going for the people we care about right now." I said, getting paranoid even though I tried to hide it because I was supposed to be the stronger one. Then something occurred to me, "We need to return to the hospital right now and watch over Aurora." Angelo stood up from the chair he'd been sitting on. "We need to catch that woman before she does any more harm to her. If she touches Giselle, I swear that I'll carve her up myself." I nodded and we both walked out of the room hastily. I was a good driver, but when it came to someone who could drive crazily without causing an accident Angelo took the badge. We had to get back to the hospital as soon as possible because I couldn't ge
Chapter 75Aurora's POV My heart yearned to see my daughter who I hadn't been with since the operation because of my health. But now I was ready to meet her and talk to her even if it was for a short while. My eyes glanced at Giselle who sat on a chair a few meters away from me and was scrolling through her phone with sadness on her face like a cloak. She was still on bad terms with Angelo all because of me and I didn't appreciate that. "Giselle?" I called softly, and she whisked her gaze away from her phone. "Yes, do you need anything?" She with a concerned tone. "I need two things from you." Her brows arched in surprise then she nodded for me to go ahead. "You and Angelo need to make up." I requested. She inclined her head while massaging her thighs at the same time, and I imagined how hard it would be for her. "It's so hard, Aurora." She admitted, "I can understand Matteo's harsh treatment towards you but Angelo didn't have any solid motive for trying to kill you." I sighed
Chapter 74Matteo's POV I left Aurora's ward a happy man with deep smiles on my face. The nurses kept glancing at me in surprise as they had never seen me in such a happy mood before. Knowing how tough she could be, I didn't expect her to ask me for that kind of kiss. My life which was shattered felt like it had been arranged by the kiss with a speed of light. But when I saw Angelo standing at the bonnet of my car, my anger returned. I wasn't sure that I could forgive him yet for trying to kill the only woman that gave my life a meaning. "What are you doing here? I thought I said that I didn't want to have anything to do with you." I snarled. The only reason why I didn't kill him was because he was my brother and the only family I used to have, but I had a daughter and Aurora who I'd soon make my wife. "I've apologised a thousand times, brother, what else do you want me to do?" He flung his hands in frustration which touched me as I'd never seen him like that for a long time.
Chapter 73Aurora's POV Shrill voices resounded in my head, making me uncomfortable while I stirred on top of a soft material. As my eyes fluttered open, I realised that it was a bed, a soft one. My eyes scanned the light blue walls that surrounded me, and when I tried to move I felt a restriction. Then I saw the syringe and a tube which was connected to a secondary IV bag. I racked my head to remember what brought me to this place that smelt of antiseptic and air fresheners, then the memories from the park replayed in my mind like a movie. The quick stroll at the park, then the gunshot on my stomach. A gasp escaped my lips as I lowered my eyes to my stomach. I didn't feel anything in it which caused my heart to skip a beat. "My baby! Where's... Where... My baby?" Tears surged out from my eyes as my lips formed uncoordinated words. A familiar scent wafted into my nose with Giselle smiling broadly at me. Her smile put me at ease immediately, but it didn't take away the curiosity
Chapter 72Matteo's POV Aurora's hands felt warm under mine. I massaged her palm and marveled at the softness of it. My eyes darted to her closed eyes and her alluring lips which were pursed because she wasn't awake to engage in a banter with me or go against my rules. I missed her so much, and it was sad that she waited for me to come to her and I never did. For the third time since we had been together, I watched her life flash in my own eyes and blamed everything on myself. "I'm so sorry, mamacita. I should have believed you all the times you defend yourself. Just hang in there for me, please." I whispered the words softly to her ears, my eyes watering as my lips touched her smooth pale skin. She was yet to be operated on since I was yet to make the decision. I had been looking forward to being a father but I guess it wasn't the time yet. My eyes trailed along the pipe that transported blood to her and the needle on her vein, then her protruded stomach. The door to her ward
