AURORA'S VENDETTA A shocker
Chapter 39Aurora's POV My lashes fluttered open as my eyes darted around, searching the room like something was missing. Matteo's musky scent was still fresh in the room and I remembered how he whisked me into his car in a state of frenzy. I had to speak to my uncle and tell him how his quest to rebuild the Camorra nearly made me lose my life. Sofia rested her head beside me but there was no trace of Giselle. I tried to raise my head from the pillow to be sure that she was around but it felt heavy, causing me to wonder if I was actually shot on my head and not my stomach. The door from the toilet creaked open and Giselle showed in looking tired with dark patches under her eyes. Her hair was tousled roughly though it looked like she had made some efforts in straightening it. "Gi.. Giselle.." I called and she scurried towards me as her eyes shone with relief. "You're finally awake," She cried happily, "Thank goodness! I have to call Matteo now," She chirped and reached for

Chapter 40Aurora's POV "My aunt?" I was exasperated. None of them replied to my question as they both peered at each other like they hadn't seen each other in months. Well, they actually hadn't seen each other in years and I wasn't sure that my uncle had ever mentioned anything concerning his sister. "Someone should explain to me what is going on!" I snapped, angry that I was bound to the bed by the drip passing through my veins. "I'll explain everything to you, but you need to relax please." Uncle Lorenzo replied to make me calm but I wasn't having it. I didn't even know whether to be sad or happy that Giselle was my aunt. That should be the reason why I felt the strong urge to protect her and Sofia. She was my fvcking relative! "What are you doing here, Giselle? Did you know that she was your niece?" Giselle blanched at his question and pushed forward. My eyes caught the sight of Sofia's bag and I hoped that she wouldn't come and see what was going on. "I didn't know a

Chapter 41Aurora's POV I shared a glance with my uncle as Matteo gave that piece of information. We had to act fast and help the man that was held captive by Matteo but I lacked ideas on how to do that. "That's really good to hear," I replied nervously and chewed my lips. Matteo scanned my face intently then placed his hand under my jaw. "You don't look as bright as I expected you to be. Aren't you happy that the man who tried to shoot you is in our custody?" "Sure, I'm happy." I replied and put on the brightest smile I could then I held his hand. "Thank you for being very concerned about me." He nodded in response then got up and walked to my uncle. "Who are you to her?" Uncle Lorenzo asked and I shook my head, pleading with him not to ask unnecessary questions. He was in Matteo's territory for Christ sake! Did he think that he could run his mouth as freely as he wanted? The fact that Matteo was being nice and calm with him was because he was my uncle, else, he'd have lo
Last Updated : 2023-08-09AURORA'S VENDETTA An anonymous intrusion
Chapter 42Matteo's POV Her question unnerved me as I wondered how she got to know that I had a history with Ginevra. It was a part of my life that disgusted me till date and I hated talking about it. "Can we not talk about it tonight and focus on your healing so that you can come home with me," I replied, ignoring her question. She nodded but her pursed lips and lowered lashes showed that she wasn't happy with my response. For sure I would tell her about it, but not yet. Not when our relationship was still on a shallow level and she had the tendency of leaving me if she found out the truth. ********** I watched Aurora change her clothes with Giselle aiding her. Her wound still hurt, but for the past few days, the only thing that left her lips constantly were complaints on how tired she was of staying in the hospital, and how she wanted to feel the softness of her bed again. Since I couldn't say no to her pleas, I had to speak with Doctor Luca who discharged her and now I wa
Last Updated : 2023-08-09AURORA'S VENDETTA Uncle Lorenzo
Chapter 43Matteo's POV Some minutes later I was driving like a crazy person to my club where the torture room was situated. As a Capo I had to be calm at all times but the fact that someone had found a way to intrude into the room which was security tight got me worried. I arrived and parked recklessly, storming into the club and ignoring the greetings from the few workers that cared to greet me. They should have known by the stoic expression of my face and my clenched jaw that I could kill in the blink of an eye. Francesco stood at the door, his arms folded and his eyes glistening with disappointment. Of course I couldn't hurt him because he had been a loyal soldier and he would have been my best friend if I allowed myself to be less anti-social. "Where is he?" I rumbled, my voice dangerously low. Other people would have flinched at the tenacity of my tone but he was used to it. "He's been covered with a white linen. We were waiting for you to come before burning him," He

Chapter 44Aurora's POV I decided to take a walk along the lawn later that evening, sneaking out of the house like I did some time ago because I didn't want anyone to see me, especially Matteo. He was acting like a strict chaperone which I never had, as my uncle was liberal with me but then it was becoming annoying and tiring since I couldn't do as I pleased. Ilaria was the only one who knew that I went out since she helped me to distract the guard who was at the fence. The same place I'd escaped from to watch Matteo's sparring match. Though she was scared, I managed to convince her and she listened. I enjoyed the evening breeze which made my hair fly in different directions around my shoulders, some strands covering my face as well. I tucked the straying strands behind my ears and trudged ahead till I got to a spot that had a jaw-dropping sight. How didn't anyone show me such a place? There was a small flowing stream with water, but what marveled me was how the turquoise b
Last Updated : 2023-08-10AURORA'S VENDETTA The revelation
Chapter 45Aurora's POV His question nearly threw me aback but I took a deep breath and counted from one to ten before thinking of a good reply. Of course, there were several things I was hiding from him. The fact that I'd come with a mission to end his father's lineage or the fact that Giselle was my aunt, and I slowly entertained feelings that weren't supposed to be and ended up falling for him which in turn caused me to change my plans. "Matteo, I.." His dark stare stopped me abruptly as I lowered my lashes, pondering on what to say to him. I'd acted out of line and if I wasn't his girlfriend, he might have locked me up and treated me like he'd do to other offenders. "I don't want lies, Aurora. I want the truth." It wasn't possible for me to say the truth, at least not yet. Matteo would hate me for the rest of his life and I wouldn't be able to take it. "I'll tell you the truth, but I'm truly sorry for raising my hands on you. My parents were murdered when I was a chi

Chapter 46Aurora's POV "You killed him?" I stood up and paced around his room frantically. "How were you even able to do that?" I continued. "Someone helped me but I won't tell you who it was." He replied shrewdly and moved away from the window so that our eyes could meet. He wasn't the uncle I knew anymore. The man that has raised me would never soil his hands or hurt others, he even discouraged me from coming here,yet, he committed murder and didn't have the slightest trace of remorse. "You've changed, Uncle Lorenzo," I whispered and he shrugged, tucking his hands into the pocket of his shorts. "Don't make it a big deal, Aurora. He was almost dead, I just finished him up so that our secrets won't be exposed. Have you thought of what Matteo will do when he discovers who you are and what you came here for?" He hollered and I flinched, reality dawning on me over and over again. "I've thought about it, uncle and soon I'll have to tell him the truth," I blurted. He fixed a

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
