Chapter 49Aurora's POV My heart pounded faster against my chest in anticipation of what was going to happen tonight. I stared at Matteo's warm expression and his eyes were filled with blazing passion, desire, lust and hunger. What thrilled me the most was that all the feelings were channeled towards me. He took off his shirt, his breasts and black nipples allured me. Though I hadn't been intimate with any man, it didn't stop me from doing my research and I got to know that a man could be aroused by merely playing with his nipples. His eyes followed where my attention was fixed on and he smiled after taking off my dress. Cold hit my bare body causing me to shiver slightly, and then he towered over me, bringing his nipples to my mouth. I took it in, sucking it like a candy amd swirling my tongue around the harder part so that he groaned in my ears and his hands reached for my ass. "If you keep doing that to me, I might forget my promise to be gentle." He said in a gruff voi
Chapter 50Aurora's POV I burst into laughter though nervous because I knew that she wasn't bluffing, yet I didn't want her to feel like she gotten an edge over me. "What other reason do I have for being here other than working? Matteo wanted a chef and I met the requirements so I applied," I replied, feigning ignorance but her cool smile told me that she wasn't buying anything I said. "Don't act so ignorant with me, Aurora. If your uncle hadn't asked for my help in finishing off your shooter, Matteo would have known the truth by now and trust me, he's very close to finding out everything." She said with all sense of seriousness, causing me to have a splitting headache immediately. What the hell was wrong with uncle Lorenzo? Why did he have to go this far? "Awww," She cooed, her expression mocking. "Cat got your tongue?" "What do you want from me, Ginevra?" "Voilà! That's the perfect question to ask. You've always been a smart one." My heart ached because whatever Gine
Chapter 51Matteo's POV I fixed my holster to my waist and fixed two shotguns on each holder and wore a blazer to cover it. I didn't want to walk around with people seeing guns on me. Even though some of the cops were under my payroll, it would make things even harder for them. Today, I'll make Angelo my consigliere in front of my underbosses, captains and soldiers. He had always rejected the position while trying to fight the darkness that lurked deep inside of him, but I knew that we couldn't fight it except he wasn't a true Moretti. I enjoyed the idea of him working with me. Apart from Francesco and Aurora, he was the only loyal person that I knew would take a bullet for me without thinking twice about it. Our love for each other was deeper and complex than anyone could understand. As a matter of fact, I didn't want anyone to understand us… it was safer to be unpredictable when you are surrounded with people that you can't trust. Angelo waited for me beside one of my cars
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.
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
