AURORA'S VENDETTA Aurora's declaration
Chapter 52Matteo's POV I was disappointed at first then a smirk danced around my lips as I imagined the best way to destabilise him then give him a taste of real pain. If he thought that I was just young and powerless then all of them would see why I was called a Moretti. Angelo whistled lightly at my back and I could tell he was also thinking of the best method to smash his neck, but I wouldn't let him act on his thoughts, seeing that the fight was mine. "This is going to be fun, Matteo. Should I send him to his brother's fate in a split second?" He teased and I shook my head, my eyes fixed on the idiot who was surprised that there was no trace of fear from me. "You don't have to, the fight is mine. But you can take care of his minions, I bet you'd like to perfect your new skills on them." I replied, schooling my expression into a mask of ferocious calmness. Pietro wouldn't like the next thing that would happen to him. "Drop the gun, Pietro, who knows, your death might b

Chapter 53Aurora's POV I'd woken up feeling weak and nauseous the same way I felt yesterday, but it could be attributed to Ginevra's threats. If I didn't feel anything for Matteo, I would have walked away easily and put everything behind me. But that was what my uncle wanted and I couldn't give it to him nor Ginevra. Since I could stay at home and be lazy all day, I decided to go to the kitchen and help. Sofia's wedding was in two days and thankfully, she was done with the fitting of her dress and everything was on point They gave me hope that my love for Matteo could win whenever I looked at the both of them. I took a quick shower and tossed on a tank top dress while rushing to the kitchen. Fortunately, Giselle was already making some potato pancakes so I pulled an apron over my head and helped with whisking the already cracked eggs till they formed a homogenous look. Giselle glanced at me, her eyes questioning. "Do I have anything on my face?" "No, you don't. You just lo

Chapter 54 Aurora's POV My eyes opened slowly as I felt warm hands on me while I tried to familiarise myself with the environment. It was funny that Matteo took me to a hospital for something as trivial as nausea. He'd probably been scared beyond his wits. "How do you feel now?" He asked with worry etching his features. "I feel like throwing up everything in my stomach, maybe my intestines as well. I feel so awful," I complained as he stifled a chuckle. I flashed a glare at him and he chuckled again then kissed my forehead. The door creaked open with doctor Luca coming in, his face wearing an excited countenance. I frowned, wondering what could make him smile when I was feeling so sick and exhausted. "Will she get better?" Matteo interrogated and he nodded. "Sure, she'll get better if she doesn't do stressful things or exert herself." He replied, swinging his gaze from Matteo to me. I wasn't sure that I was the only one who noticed, but his excitement was suspicious.

Chapter 55Aurora's POV Staying at home and preparing meals was actually easier than waking up earlier than usual to prepare for class even though my body craved two extra hours of sleep. Amidst the stress that came with it, I was happy doing something that I loved. After the class I'd be able to cook professionally. Though other cooks had gone through culinary school for more than a year, Mrs Fernandez thought me to be talented so she said that I didn't need all of that. I was very proficient and I just needed a professional touch. Demetrio was quiet beside me as he drove me to class. Matteo made him my bodyguard since he didn't want me to be in danger of being attacked and also to ward off young men who might want to talk to me. I wasn't comfortable with him being around me all the time so we both agreed that he'd be invisible, watching me from the corners. "So, when did you get inducted into the Outfit?" I asked, feeling uneasy with the silence that reigned in the car.
Last Updated : 2023-08-20AURORA'S VENDETTA Double pain
Chapter 56Aurora's POV I was flabbergasted and totally at loss of what to say or do to placate Matteo. If I'd known that everything was a set up I would have completely avoided Nicholas. At this juncture, I wasn't even sure that his name was Nicholas. A rap sound resonated at the door but I wasn't ready to receive anyone. I just wanted to be on my own and think of what to do about the set up. "Can't I be alone in peace?" I yelled, my voice croaky and filled with tiredness. But it was apparent that the person didn't want to listen to me. The door pushed open and the lights turned on and I jerked up the bed, pulling the robe closer to my chest as Ginevra made her way towards me with a teasing smirk on her face. Everything made sense to me at that point…she was the one who framed me and I didn't need to ask why. "You should be happy now, Ginevra. Why don't you go to the club and party all night to celebrate your win?" I sneered but she made a tsking sound that further ann
Last Updated : 2023-08-21AURORA'S VENDETTA Angelo
Chapter 57Matteo's POV I stood by the window pane, sipping the coffee that Ginevra had brewed for me. My thoughts still revolved around the discovery from last night and I imagined Aurora kissing another man and probably allowing him to touch her like I did. I cringed at the thought of it, but then, there was picture to show that she had done something like that. It was these same thoughts that drove me to one of my club and nearly made me to cheat on her. Nearly. But I couldn't push through even though I tried. She didn't smell like Aurora, neither did her eyes shine like Aurora's smokey grey eyes. I kept comparing the both of them till I left the club angrily and now I was doing the same thing. A knock disrupted me from my thoughts, eliciting a hissing sound from my lips. "Don't come in, Ginevra. I don't need you right now." I yelled but the door still pushed open with Angelo smirking at me as he approached me. "I'm not your nanny, Matteo." He joked and I felt like slap
Last Updated : 2023-08-21AURORA'S VENDETTA Cleared doubts
Chapter 58Matteo's POV "It's so nice to see you uptight with another woman while I'm here shriveling in pain." Aurora yelled in rage, not minding that I was Capo and the fact that we were in front of my men. I loved the defiant part of her, but I wasn't in the mood for it. Besides, Francesco was waiting for me. "What are you talking about?" I asked with a blank look on his face. "The blonde woman of course. Your eyes were all over her body yet you preach to me about loyalty. For how long will I sing it to you like a rhyme that I didn't kiss him or have anything to do with him?" She snarled, stomping her foot on the ground like a little child. "I'll find out about that soon." I replied casually and dipped my hands into the pockets of my pants. I wanted to trust her but it proved so hard to do that when I kept remembering the picture. I could only hope that I wasn't making a mistake by doubting her. "Oh yea. Good luck with that, while I find a good young man and maybe do
Last Updated : 2023-08-22AURORA'S VENDETTA Making up
Chapter 59Aurora's POV I wish I had fulfilled my promise of making out with another man, but I couldn't as their faces felt repulsive and looked nothing like the only handsome man that I'd ever known. Matteo had not just captured my body but my soul and everything that concerned me as well. Demetrio made the day better by taking me to places I asked him to. We went to a park and I had a medium cup of strawberry ice cream, later on I had a pack of potato chips which made me forget my troubles at some point. We were returning home and we had almost gotten to our street when dread settled in the pit of my stomach. The past few days had been worse with Matteo ignoring me and treating me worse than his servant. At least his servants got his attention when needed. He didn't even ask how I was feeling or if my pregnancy was making me uncomfortable. Then I imagined how he would feel if the truth came out. Demetrio's phone rang a little loudly, by the pursing of his lips I knew that

AURORA'S VENDETTA Epilogue 3-The wedding
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
AURORA'S VENDETTA Epilogue 2-The reunion
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?"
AURORA'S VENDETTA Epilogue 1-Marry me
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
AURORA'S VENDETTA Ginevra's death
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
AURORA'S VENDETTA Crazy options
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
AURORA'S VENDETTA The final attack
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
AURORA'S VENDETTA She is alive
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.
AURORA'S VENDETTA The reconciliation
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
AURORA'S VENDETTA The good news
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
