An Unwilling Union Chapter 49
Judah's POVAurelia's mop of brown hair lay uncomfortably on the window, her styled hair had loosened while we were at the beach and she hadn't bothered to fix it up. Her long lashes flickered gently from time to time, her lips pursed then opened softly as she snored lightly. We had gotten home almost ten minutes ago but I didn't know why I couldn't bring myself to wake her up. She had fallen asleep almost immediately after we left the beach. I could see that she was uncomfortable but she looked so at peace that I couldn't dare to disturb her. It was quite late, almost midnight so I couldn't blame her for falling asleep.I was torn between waking her up and saving her from a massive neck pain tomorrow, or letting her sleep a little while longer and waking up with an aching neck. She twisted in her seat trying to find a more comfortable spot and she let out a little groan of pain. I tapped her shoulder lightly, " Hey, Aurelia, it's time to wake up. We're home." She groaned and brushe

Judah's POVGavin rubbed the back of his head nervously, " Judah, the truth is I wasn't informed as well, I found out through Gio after she had lunch with Zía Hannah and Aurelia. I assumed Aurelia had told you about it. If I knew you weren't aware, I would have told you immediately I found out." He rambled and mopped his forehead with his handkerchief. We were in an air-conditioned room so it was funny to see him sweating."It's fine but next time, I want to know immediately. It seems Camilla played all of us. I was constantly keeping track of her credit cards, how did I not know that she had bought a plane ticket and how did she escape the men I chose to keep an eye on her?" I scratched my jaw." Wait, I still can't believe Camilla is back, why? After the trouble she caused the last time she was home, you shipped her off to Italy. I thought she promised not to come back without your permission." Dario pressed his lips in a thin line."I thought so as well but it seems my sister was i

Aurelia's POV"Gerald informed me that Camilla came over today, why? Did she harass you?" Judah took a bite of his pasta."No, she didn't. Why do you assume the worst about your sister? She's having a welcome back party and she invited me, she says she wants to get to know me better and wants to introduce me to her friends." I dragged my eyes into slits.Judah shrugged a little, " Because she's my sister and I know who she really is. And you can't go to that party." He let the words out with so much ease.I stilled, my fork pausing midway, I dropped it on the plate and sat up. "Excuse me?" As much as I didn't want to go to the party, I wasn't going to let him think he could order me around, I wasn't one of his employees."You can't go to Camilla's party, in fact, I want you to stay far away from her." He sipped his wine and set it down.I let out a laugh full of mordancy, " Judah, please, let's not take a step forward and five steps back. You can't just order me not to go to your sist

Aurelia's POVIt didn't take long for Gio to arrive at Camilla's party, I stood in from of the door and watched as she laughed and drank with her friends. It seemed she had rented the entire restaurant, her smile was huge and almost split her face in half. I couldn't wait until I wiped the ground with her smile. Bitch! Fudge, I never used to swear until I married Judah, now I swore like a sailor."Hey, Aurelia!" Gio ran after me, "Before you go in, you need this as ammunition. I didn't want to mention it but it's the one this Camilla is truly scared of." A wicked smile graced my lips, " Come on, out with it. I'm pissed already, I'll take whatever you give me." Gio sighed and looked like he almost regretted what he was about to do, " I can't tell you the details about it because Judah swore everyone to secrecy. Judah was the one that sent Camilla to Italy, it was like a punishment for something she did. You can threaten her by telling her that Judah would send her back to Italy. No,
An Unwilling Union Chapter 53
Aurelia's POVEveryone was silent except for a tiny shocked gasp from Mei, the air around us thickened and tensed, it crackled with anger, hostility, and hatred, all coming from Jasmine. This girl had a problem with me and it was personal, she wasn't acting in solidarity with Camilla. "That's too bad, this is such a beautiful dress and it was quite expensive. When did you get yours? I got it a day after it came out, I was told only two dresses were available, I got the first one. You must have gotten the second one." I dropped the subtle hint that she was the commoner. Everyone knew the first person to get a dress was the winner.The room remained silent, everyone staring at me in shock, Jasmine was seething, I could almost see steam floating out of her eyes. I smirked and turned to the bar, beckoning over the bartender."At least, I didn't look like a wrapped-up melon in it. You know, you should wear clothes made for your size and shape." Camilla and the twins covered their mouths a

Aurelia's POV"Gosh, now this is a party. Boomer, turn up the music, we need to dance." Camilla whooped. I got up and pulled my dress down, putting distance between them and me."Why you going? Sit down, which do you want pill or wrap? " Jagger pushed the two toward me. I shook my head and step back."None actually, I've never tried any of them." " Well, there's a first time for everything. Come on, try one, it will make you feel good, I promise." Jagger pressed and everyone agreed with him. Hamser mentioned something and their attention shifted away as they started laughing."I need to use the bathroom," I announced but no one paid attention to me. I rushed into the restroom and locked the door behind me. I quickly used the toilet and then stood in front of the mirror thinking about what I would do next. Should I call Gio in to take care of them or should I just leave them alone? Fudge, I never should have come to the party.I came out and found that they had moved to the dancefloor

Aurelia's POVJudah stalked towards me and held out his phone for me to see the picture. Derrick's hands were around my waist and my hands were on his chest, from the angle the picture was taken it looked like we were cozy and caressing each when I was actually trying to push him away."Care to explain what this means?" Judah demanded, I was too stunned to speak, I thought Camilla and her friends were too high to realize what was going on but they had planned this. "What? You've got nothing to say. Damnit, Aurelia, I do not want to jump to conclusions again, explain to me right now what's going on in this picture?" He smacked his hand on his thigh then ran his hand through his hair.I blew out hot air and closed my eyes for a minute, since Camilla pulled a fast one on me, all bets were off, I was going to drag her down with me."I'm sorry I lied, there were boys at the party but they came about ten minutes before I left. What you saw in that picture was actually me trying to free mys

Judah's POV"Nico, did you do what I asked?" I asked the big man as I came out of my car.He nodded his head, " He's in the basement, awaiting your arrival. I prepped him up nicely for you." " Good, I'll deal with him later, I have other important things to do. You can keep prepping him, just make sure he's not too overcooked, you know I like when there's still some fight and struggle in them." " Yes, I'm aware." Nico trotted after me then we went our separate ways, him down to the basement and I to my office. The elevator doors opened and Sabrina stood as I approached."Gavin and Dario are already waiting in your office, I've got some bad news though and it's everywhere on social media, Camilla posted a picture of Aurelia in another man's arms and she also posted some racy pictures from the party, showing the drugs and alcohol they consumed." She showed me her social media.Fuck family, fuck blood, Camilla was dead meat, when I get my hands on her, she's dead."The internet is blo

Aurelia's POV"Beloved, we are gathered here to celebrate the life of the deceased, On behalf of all family and friends, I would like to welcome everyone as we have gathered today to remember the deceased. Your presence here today is an affirmation of your love and support to the family. Thank you for being here. Although the family may not remember every word we share here today, they will remember your presence for the rest of their lives." I blocked out the pastor as he spoke focusing on the casket in front of me, I still couldn't believe that I was at this funeral. It seemed so surreal, I kept waiting for someone to say bring out the cameras, and yell ' surprise' because it was all a prank.Judah pulled me close and wrapped his arm around my shoulder gently, trying as much as possible not to touch my cast, I rested my head on his chest and wept. I felt someone's hand on my back, giving me a soothing rub, I raised my head and looked behind, and Diane gave me a small sad smile. She

Aurelia's POVLucia's eyes widened and she hurried to the door, as she was about to open it, the door slammed open with great force, hitting Lucia and sending her flying across the room."Aurelia, you bitch, what did you tell Judah when he called you? What clue did you fucking give him?" He grabbed me by my hair and dragged me towards the door.The sounds of gunshots echoed within the building, giving it a dramatic flair that I quite liked."I didn't say anything, you were there, weren't you? All I did was ask him to save me. Do you really think my husband is that dumb and he just lets me walk around without knowing where I am twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week? I have an inbuilt tracker, you can take me anywhere and he will find me." I was lying through my teeth, I had no idea where the tracker Judah put on me was but I hoped it wasn't built.Giovanni's nose flared and his skin reddened." He might have found you but that doesn't mean he's going to save you, I'm going to kill

Aurelia's POV" AURELIA!" Giovanni's deep tenor voice boomed, I heard him before he opened the door and charged at me. I scurried back and hit my back on the wall. Fuck, there was nowhere to run to."You bitch, you think you can deceive me?" He grabbed me by my neck, raising me and choking me. My hands were still bound so I couldn't claw his fingers away.Luckily, my legs were free, I kneeled him in the balls, he growled and dropped me. I landed on my arm with a loud thud and a crack. Pain surged through me from my arm to my brain."OH MY GOD, WHAT DID I DO TO YOU? YOU BROKE MY ARM." I cried, I couldn't even move my arm. "Good, I'll break something else. The necklace you gave me is fake, it wasn't a true emerald. Where is Trista's necklace, Aurelia?" I managed to act surprised, " it isn't the real one. Oh no, I don't know what happened to it. I've been wearing that necklace all my life, I can't believe it's fake. Maybe someone stole it from me."Giovanni growled, picked up a wooden

Aurelia's POVPanic clawed at my throat but I refused to give in to my fear, yes my father may have kidnapped his daughters, one who was heavily pregnant and was in labor but I wasn't going to let him see that I was scared.I looked around and couldn't see Lucia, that gave me a little relief, maybe they were finally going to allow her to give birth. I tipped my chin up and put on an expressionless face, " Father, this is a surprise. If you wanted a reunion you could have just come to my house, I wouldn't have kicked you out." Father grinned, pulling apart his lips to reveal his brown teeth from years of chewing tobacco. "Aurelia, you've really grown up, I see you now have a mouth on you, just like Lucia said." I stilled, ice flowed through my veins. What had Lucia had to do with this? When did Lucia tell him that? What the hell was going on?"Ah, I can see the confusion on your face. Don't worry too much, it will all be clear in a minute." He clapped his hands once, a door opened
An Unwilling Union Chapter 90
Aurelia's POVMy fake necklace had arrived and it was beautiful, I could hardly differentiate it from the original. I had to send the original necklace to Sabrina's house so I wouldn't mix them up. I kept the fake necklace in the spot I kept the original in case Lucia tried to steal it again."So how's it going with Lucia?" Judah climbed into bed, wrapped his arms around my waist, and pulled me close to him, he wasn't aware of what had been going on with Lucia and I quickly brought him up to speed but kept the fake necklace part out."What! She's trying to steal from you? No way, she's got to go." His hand dropped from my waist, he jerked up and crossed his arms over his chest."Jude, baby, calm down, I'm taking care of it. I'm not kicking her out, she's pregnant, I won't do that to my niece or nephew."" No way, I don't give two fucks if she's pregnant, I don't want her in this house. This is my fucking house, I don't trust her and my gut tells me she's going to pull some stupid stun

Aurelia's POV"Erm, Aurelia, I don't know how to say this and I don't want you to take it the wrong way but I caught your sister trying to go into your room, two days ago when you and Mr. Bianco went out to have dinner with his mother." My glass of water froze halfway to my lips. For a minute, it was almost like I had shut down and needed a minute to reboot.Slowly I put the glass on the table and took in deep breaths then looked at Opal and Gina through my heavy eyelids.Opal was in front, Gina stood behind her, holding her hand tight and the other hand on her shoulder."I'm sorry, what did you say, Opal?" I pushed my laptop to the side and clasped my hands on the table."Well, two days ago when you guys were out having dinner, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't made Miss Aria's bed, and I forgot to take her dirty clothes to be washed so I went upstairs and I saw Lucia going to your room, at first I thought she had forgotten where her room was but that was impossible because it was

Aurelia's POVJust when I thought I had escaped my family and my life was finally in a good place, Bam, life hit me hard and reminded me that I couldn't have it all.Lucia sat opposite me, wide as a whale, tears flowing down her cheeks, I couldn't bring myself to stand up and sympathize with her. "Are you sure this is what you want to do? It's not too late to kick her out." Judah whispered, he held my hand and squeezed."I'm good, I want to hear her out and see what's wrong. She looks like she needs help right now." I whispered back, he pressed his lips together and glared at Lucia who was still bawling her eyes out."Lucia, that's enough. Why are you here?" I knew my tone was harsh but who could blame me, this was the person who drugged me, forced me to take her place as Judah's wife, and slept with my boyfriend.She reduced her loud wails to quiet sobs, " Aurelia, I'm so sorry but I had nowhere else to go. As you can already see, I'm pregnant for Owen, he broke up with me and said

Aurelia's POVI had barely slept in a week, everything I closed my eyes, I kept seeing myself holding my pen knife and driving it into the bodies of my kidnappers.Insomnia was my best friend now, fatigue was a familiar friend, and unproductivity was now my roommate. I couldn't do anything except to put on a bright smile for everyone. I didn't anyone to worry about me, I wanted to prove that I was strong and fearless but I wasn't. I was a big fraud and I needed help immediately but I was too much of a wuss to ask for it.It was 3 a.m. and I hadn't slept a wink, I tried to, I really did but immediately my eyes shut, Max's lifeless eyes stared into mine and I just jumped up instantly.Judah wasn't home, he had been gone for about 4 days so it was easier for me to fake it. I got out of bed, went downstairs, unlocked Judah's alcohol cabinet, and brought out a bottle of vodka. Not bothering to take a shot glass, I popped it open, sat on the couch, and started chugging it down my throat. T

Judah's POV"Where the hell could she be?" I slammed my hands on the steering wheel."Don't worry, we'll find her soon. She couldn't have gone too far. If she's not on the highway, she's probably still in the woods and we have men combing every corner of it. We will find her." Gavin's reassuring words did nothing for me because then it started to rain."Oh for fuck sake, I don't fucking need this right now!" I screamed to no one in particular." Reverse and let's go another lap, she can't have walked this far by now. She'll probably be at the back now." Dario looked at the window, " It's too far from the warehouse." He was right, I put the car in reverse, turned, and started driving back to where I started from, driving at a snail's pace."Hey! Hey! Someone's there! Look someone's beside the road!" Gavin slapped my arm and pointed at a crumpled body at the side of the road. I recognized the grey cargo parts immediately."Shit, that's Aurelia." I drove closer, hurriedly parked, and ru
