Chapter 64

Aurora's POV

"You thought that I'll never get my pound of flesh after Matteo embarrassed and sent me out of the house because of you." She snarled, and snapped her fingers.

One of the guards who was with her left the room and came back with a chair for her to sit on, which got me wondering how she got those kinds of men to work for her after she was sent out from Matteo's house.

"It wasn't my fault that Matteo had eyes for me instead of you. You were old news and I loved him genuinely." I retorted sharply, not minding that I could be killed with just a snap or a nod.

"I wonder how he will feel if he discovers that you actually planned to kill him at first." She drawled, her annoying smirk coming to play.

Sofia gasped and I flashed her a pleading glance, but she shook her head in astonishment. "Who are you really, Aurora? First I found out that you are my cousin, next I'm discovering that you are a killer?" She yelled, then glared at Ginevra. "You won't leave here

    Chapter 65Matteo's POV I watched her shoulder droop while I passed her punishment. I wanted to make her suffer for trying to kill me, but I wasn't sure that I could. Then it dawned on me that I loved her and I couldn't hurt her, but maybe the love would disappear because our relationship was built on lies. Ginevra squealed happily but my glare erased the smile on her face. "What makes you think that you can kidnap my woman?" I asked with a dangerously quiet tone. It was surprising that I was still calm after everything I'd discovered. Though I had the urge to go on a killing spree and allow the demons inside of me to take the lead. She scoffed, approaching me with her usual sensual steps and lust filled eyes that made me go crazy for her years ago. If I was still the same Matteo who was trapped by her amorous desires, I'd have torn her clothes into shreds and fvcked her in the roughest way possible, but right now she irritated me. Irritating was a mild form of putting how sh

    Chapter 66Aurora's POV I was back in Chicago, sadly. It was sad because I didn't want to have anything to do with Chicago anymore. Several months ago, I'd have been happy to be here after killing Matteo and his brother but now, even the thought of wanting to kill him earlier caused me to cringe. We weren't in the old house anymore but the house of my late parents. I didn't know how to feel because I was lonely though Aunt Giselle and Sofia were with me. How couldn't I feel lonely when the man I loved had been taken captive? Matteo would never forgive me what happened. Never! My gaze was fixed on two sparrows which were playing with each other on the top of the fence. They chirped like they had no problems in the world and for some seconds, I wished to be like the birds. Light knocks resonated on my door, disrupting my attention from the birds and I was reminded that I didn't have much freedom anymore. Ever since Erizo was inducted as Capo of the Camorra, he had gone on ra

    Chapter 67Aurora's POV "You can't be serious about that uncle Lorenzo, I'm your blood and I initiated the idea. Don't I have the right to change things anymore?" My voice was filled with horror as I began to evaluate the consequence of any choice I'd make. I was full-blooded Mancini and I couldn't just forget about my roots. "Uncle Lorenzo, there has to be a way out please." I cried as I kept pondering on both options. I was sure that Matteo hated me now more than ever and even if he took me with him, he would never love me the same way he did some months back. He'll probably be with me because of his child which was the last thing I wanted. But one thing was for sure, I wouldn't allow him to continue being tortured by my psychotic cousin who looked like he was ready to keep feasting on Matteo's body. "It's not a hard choice you know, and as they say, family is everything. Aurora, I've always known you as a smart woman and I don't think you should leave your family becaus

    Chapter 68Matteo's POV I watched her strip, her smokey grey eyes filled with sadness and silent pleas that I wouldn't listen to. Each time I thought about the lies then remembered how her family tortured my brother and I, rage welled up in me. "Don't do this, Matteo. Please, you'll hurt me." Her voice was intent with fear which wasn't directed at me but for me. I was losing myself slowly to the darkness that called out to me and I had hoped that she would be my light, but she just proved to me that no one needed to be trusted and now I understood why my father hated women. Scratch that. He was inhumane and that was why Aurora came to the house to seek revenge. "You won't tell me how to treat you, Mamacita." I growled and rose up from the bed, walking slowly to her. She peered at me, her eyes filled with love and regrets. Those emotions were getting to me but I wasn't going to show it. "Alright, I won't refute your words but you do realise that I'm pregnant and anything you do

    A twistChapter 69Aurora's POV I looked over the pool from my window and watched the flowers and trees that bordered along the fence towards the lawn. It should have excited or made me feel good since I'd always enjoyed watching nature but it didn't, because I felt lonely and I wasn't sure the feelings of loneliness was going to leave soon. Weeks had passed since we broke up and he had made me a sex slave to him but he hadn't touched him, and as crazy as it seemed, my body ached for him in any way he wanted to take me. I knew that he would have to let me go and the only thing binding us together was my pregnancy, but I wanted more than that, and I didn't know any other way that I could make him forgive me. He ordered me not to call him or come to his room except he gave me permission, and with each passing day I felt useless. An idea dropped in my mind so I left the window pane and walked out of my room. I headed towards Angelo's room even though it was a bad idea, but I couldn'

"I don't know what I feel, aunt, but I'm very sure that I regret my actions. Matteo hates me now and because of me Angelo despises you too." I lamented, willing myself not to cry as I recounted my problems. "It's not your fault that Angelo feels that way for me, darling. It's because he cannot tell that we are two different people who have been hurt by the mistake of his father. If they think that we are both evil then they don't deserve us." She replied, as she trailed my scalp with her fingers which had a soothing effect on me. Though uncertainty settled at the pit of my stomach, I was happy that I wasn't alone. When I told her that I was going to leave the house, she didn't accept it until I allowed her to follow me. Sometimes, I felt that she had the spirit of my mother. "Thank you for being here with me, auntie. I don't know what I'd have done wit

    Chapter 71Matteo's POV "We need to go have a bloody retribution against the Camorra or they'll think that we are weak. How could they kidnap and torture our Capo and consigliere without us taking a fucking revenge?" Vincenzo argued with the underbosses. Francesco glanced at me but my face remained stoic as ever. I couldn't even concentrate as I kept thinking of Aurora and how she was doing. I was supposed to hate her and my brother too for betraying me, but I couldn't find it in my heart to do so. Love was a weakness that I wasn't supposed to afford but here I was loving the woman that I should hate. Love made my father a sadist and made Aurora an orphan, but I could do better. My attention was drawn back to the meeting by the angry yells that slipped from the mouths of the underbosses. Their faces were scrunched up in rage and with the clenching of their fists, I thought that they would go physical against themselves. "It's enough! Damn it!" I barked, causing them to keep quiet

    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

    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

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

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
