Mrs Matteo Rocco CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT
•MATTEO’S POV•The flight back home was the most nerve-wracking experience of my whole existence. My mind was home and my body in a plane, I was fucking disoriented. Anthony on the other hand had started placing calls back home and my dad was in full swing finding Aurora. Aurora's missing father finally made Bella talk, and when I say talk, right from the time In the bridal shop to the honeymoon and all of it. I knew I was in for a long lashing but hopefully, he does that after she’s found.Soon we landed and got into the car that was taking us home, as soon as we got to the front door Anthony slammed the car door shut behind him, his face tight with worry. Bella ran to me hugging me tightly with a worried face before she trailed behind us, her arms folded protectively across her chest.The house was a flurry of activity—guards scattered, phones ringing incessantly, and no one with any answers. I stood in the middle of the chaos, my fists clenched, trying to

•MATTEO’S POV•The room froze at Bella's words as Anthony and I stared at her as tho she had just dropped a bomb. Anthony was the first to react, his voice rising in disbelief. "Are you out of your mind?" he demanded, stepping closer to her. "You can’t just walk into this Bell, it’s a suicide mission!" Bella held her ground, her arms crossed defiantly. "He won’t hurt me. Alfredo doesn’t want my blood, he wants to send a message. And he won’t risk losing that leverage by hurting me." I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. "Bella, this isn’t some negotiation where you can charm your way out.” I tell her as a matter of fact. “Alfredo is a maniac. He doesn’t care about anything except his twisted revenge." "You think I don’t know that?" she shot back, her eyes blazing. "But if you go, Matteo, he’ll kill you and Aurora. He’s obsessed with destroying this family—this is personal for him." “And you are part of this family Bella don’t you forget that.” I yelled

•BELLA’S POV •"You have Aurora, don’t you, Alfredo?" I said, my voice sharp the very moment he picked up the call. "Don’t bother lying. I know you do. I know you called my brother. I overheard everything.”The line was silent for a moment, then his voice came through. "Bella, I didn’t expect a call from you. What do you want?" He asked coolly with suspicion hinting in his tone."I want to meet her," I said firmly. "Before you kill her." There was another pause, followed by a low chuckle. "And why would you want to do that? Want to save your sweet sister-in-law?” He asked in a sly tone.I forced a bitter laugh. "Because I want to see her broken, Alfredo. I’ve hated her since the day she stepped into our lives. Matteo used to be strong, focused, and untouchable. Then she came along and turned him into a weakling. She ruined everything." Pausing, I take a break hoping deep down he’s buying my lies.His skepticism was obvious even without seeing him. "You’re telling me yo

•BELLA’S POV•"You’re Fantasma," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I could feel the blood drain from my face as I stared at Austin, my mind racing to make sense of this. He tilted his head, an almost amused expression on his face. "I thought you were smarter than this, Bella.” He said with a smirk. “I even thought you’d be the first to find out given how sneaky you can be but lo and behold….it was easy to fool you guys as y’all are so obsessed with loyalty. Did you really think of me like Matteo’s loyal dog Bella? That I’ve been standing by all this time for nothing?" I opened my mouth to respond, but Alfredo cut in with a chuckle. "Oh, you should’ve seen your face when he walked in. Priceless. But don’t worry. Let me catch you up." Alfredo leaned casually against the doorframe, crossing his arms. "You see, Bella, Austin and I—we’ve been in this together for a while now. Aurora’s just the tip of the iceberg. Your dear brother Matteo has been playing into our hands

•MATTEO’S POV•The plan with Bella seemed to be going smoothly so far. If she had been caught in her lies I would have known from the phone call. But now what? The fucker wants my father Inlaw and father to tag along with this bullshit.I dialed Aurora’s father, Sir Marco, and listened to the long ring. His sharp tone answered on the third. “Matteo. Has she been found?” Was the first question that came as soon as he picked up. He sounded tensed.“Yes she has but you have to come to the Rocco mansion, it’s urgent,” I said firmly, wasting no time on pleasantries. “Aurora and Bella are in danger. Alfredo has them, and he’s demanding you and my father come with me to meet him.” “What?” Sir Marco’s voice rose, his shock evident. “What does he want with me? Don’t tell me it’s about the incident from years ago?” He asked.“Yes, it is. He says you and my father had a hand in the downfall of his family. He’s holding you both accountable. He won’t release Aurora or Bella unles

•MATTEO’S POV•I had prepared myself for many betrayals in my life, but nothing……absolutely nothing, could have readied me for this.Austin stood before me, his expression a perfect mix of defiance and something darker…..something twisted and for a split moment, he looked different. His words rang in my ears, cold and cutting.“I’m Phantasma, Matteo. How’s my surprise? Do you love it?” He asked smiling smugly.It felt as though the air had been sucked out of the room. My fists clenched at my sides as I stared at the man I had considered my closest friend. No……as family. The weight of his betrayal pressed against my chest, threatening to crush me.“You Austin?” I managed to choke out. “You’re the one behind all of this? Behind Aurora’s attack? The messages? The chaos?”Austin’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “Yes. And I’d do it all again.”I surged forward, but Aurora’s father’s hand shot out, gripping my arm. “Don’t,” he warned. “Let him explain. He won’t do such for no

•MATTEO’S POV•“You’re playing with fire.” He growled at me rushing like a wounded lion into a room at the left side of the room where we stood and pulled out Aurora and Bella, both tied up, holding a gun to their heads as he dragged them into the room. At the same time, Anthony and the rest of my men filed into the room.Across the semi-large room, Alfredo stood with Aurora and Bella, one on either side, both looking pale and terrified. The gun in his hand was steady, pointed at Aurora’s head.“Nobody moves,” Alfredo barked, his voice sharp and commanding. “Or they both die.”Aurora’s wide, tear-filled eyes met mine, silently begging for help. My chest tightened, and rage simmered beneath the surface. I had to stay calm—one wrong move and Alfredo wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger.Anthony shifted beside me. “Let’s talk about this, Alfredo,” he said, his voice steady. “You don’t want to do this. Let them go. We can figure this out.”Alfredo laughed bitterly. “Figu

•AURORA’S POV•I wish it was all a dream.But the smell of antiseptic and the Red code blaring off in the hospital told me otherwise. My head ached, and my wrists were still sore from the restraints Alfredo had used. My body was blooded from Austin’s blood and that of Anthony.Austin…. I still can’t believe it. It happened just in a flash and he was gone.Forever.The door to my room creaked open, and my father stepped inside, his face lined with worry. Behind him came my sister and Aunt Lilian, each carrying the same worried expression.“How are you feeling, sweetheart?” Dad asked, walking to my bedside and taking my hand in his. He was there when everything went down and knew that I wasn’t fine.“I’m fine father,” I replied, though my voice sounded weak even to my own ears. “What about Anthony?”Dad sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. “He’s still in surgery. The doctors are doing everything they can. He lost a lot of blood and it’s not looking good.” He said sadly.

MATTEO’S POV"No."That was the first word out of my mouth the moment Aurora stepped into the room. I had thought about how I would try to talk her out of joining us in meeting Sofia but seeing how she looked right now told me that if I didn’t stop her, she would pull up something reckless when we got there. Dressed in a black leather jumpsuit paired with a pair of black boots, Her eyes still had that mechanical look to them and she just looked… DANGEROUS."You're not coming with us," I said again, louder this time.She didn’t flinch. "I am." She bent down to adjust the laces of her boots as if I wasn’t talking to her. Bella blinked. "Aurora… you look like you're heading to kill someone.""I might.""Absolutely not," I snapped, moving toward her. "You’re not going into that place dressed like—""Like someone ready to get her son back?" she interrupted.Anthony stood behind me, arms folded and just stared at Aurora before he spoke up. "This isn't a battlefield, Aurora.""Isn’t it? My

MATTEO’S POVThe whole house was thrown into chaos with Liam’s disappearance with Sofia. Aurora hadn’t said a word for hours, as if in a trance and the worst part…Riccardo had insisted on not talking which was nerve-wracking. “All fingers point to Sofia, she has a hand in Alfredo’s disappearance.”Bella pointed out a matter of factly as we tried without end to reach Sofia’s phone but to no avail. “I can’t believe this is happening again and to my son at that. I wish she took me instead.” Aurora’s voice came from the corner of the where she sat in tears. “I really do wish she took me instead of my son, my baby is too young and precious for this.” Loud sobs came at the last part as her body shook violently. I pulled my wife into my arms whispering comforting things to her. Bella and Anthony came close, “Sofia won’t hurt him Aurora, she might be acting this way but would never hurt her nephew. She might be acting up cause of something.” Bella said softly.“But what does she want?” I fi

AURORA’S POV“At this rate, I’ll be late picking up Liam.” I sighed as I took another glance at my watch, it was more than twenty minutes and no sign of Bella. She’d asked to meet but she wasn’t showing up. Dailing her number a couple of times with no response I made to leave the ice cream shop heading towards my car when a message dropped in. Opening my inbox my blood ran cold. “No…no.” I whispered in fear as I looked at the image of my baby boy asleep in the back seat of a car. My mind went black as I jumped into my car and sped up to his kindergarten which was just a three-minute drive from the ice cream shop. “God it better be a prank… not my baby God I beg of you.” I kept praying as my heart slammed against my chest in fear. Immediately I got to the school premises I caught sight of Liam’s homeroom teacher out in the front with some other kids whose parents were yet to pick up. She sees me and waves my way. “Mrs Rocco, what are you doing here?” She asks warmly with a confused

MATTEO’S POVDay three into Sofia’s disappearance and Alfredo's supposed death. That was how long it had been then. Three days, and we still had nothing except her abandoned car in the hotel parking lot. She checked in and never came out leaving everyone fucking worried.And as if that isn't enough, the damn DNA results were still being delayed by Hughes and Dawson. "I want those results on my desk in an hour," I snapped into the phone talking to Dawson, pacing the length of my office. "I don't care what the holdup is. Make it happen. And don’t bring up that crap that he was burnt beyond recognition else I'll Have you burnt as well."The man on the other end stammered, trying to feed me more excuses. I hung up before I lost my temper completely. This was already getting me on edge as it's been days and we've still had nothing from the forensics or the CCTV footage.I turned to Anthony, who was leaning against the desk, his eyes glued to the screen monitoring the CCTV footage. "Go p

SOFIA’S POV.I had to get Matteo off my tail and getting rid of my car was the first part. I parked it at the hotel where we usually hosted our family events, flashed a fake smile at the concierge, booked a room under my name, and took the requested to go out through the back exit and took a taxi to Alfredo’s hideout. I knew Matteo will track my car and it would be easy to find me. It’s been three days since our fall out and it was time to get plans rolling. Dawson has been on my neck cause of the pressure from Matteo and I had asked for three days. Damn it! I hate rushed things. "Ricardo, where's Matteo now?" I whisper, pacing Alfredo’s dimly lit apartment. My fingers drum against my thigh as I hold the phone tight to my ear. Leaving Riccardo behind wasn't part of my plan but worked in my favor as I could keep track of what my brother was up to."Still on the DNA results. He's pressing hard as Dawson is stalling to buy time for you. Anthony is headed to the forensics right now to

AURORA’S POVMatteo picked up on the third ring."What is it?" His voice was sharp and edgy. I guess his meeting at the morgue didn’t go well. Today was just one drama after another."Sofia just left the house," I said quickly. "She stormed out after a fight with Bella. I don’t know where she’s going, but she looked…dangerous Matteo, I’ve never seen her that way even when she was mad at someone. It didn’t feel right."A pause. "How long ago?" His voice came back on the line. "Minutes. She took her car, alone. Didn’t wait for her bodyguard.""Stay put. I’m coming back.""What? I thought you were still at the morgue?""I’m done there and heading home. I’ll be there soon. Don’t let Bella do anything reckless, she’s not the type that will let Sofia off the hook easily after a fight just because they’re siblings."He hung up before I could ask more. Typical.I turned to Bella, who was still fuming from the fight. She had a split lip, and her hands were shaking. Infact her whole body was v

SOFIA'S POV“Damn it.” I screamed jamming the door against its hinges as I stepped into my room. Fuck all of them, Fuck this family. After years of sidelining me, cause they thought of me as incapable of being in the family’s business, they’re still treating me like shit trying to boss me around. Breathing in and out I try to control my breath as I breathe in and out to calm my nerves. “Once I’m done with you guys, you’ll know better than mess me.” I throw myself back into bed and remain in that position looking at the ceiling for almost an hour when my phone notification beeps signaling a message.My hands trembled as I gripped my phone, staring at the last message Dawson sent me. He’s been pulling strings for me in prison in exchange for money to settle his wife’s hospital bills.“They’re questioning the body. Matteo ordered a DNA test. He’s insisting the body isn’t Alfredo’s.”Damn it.This wasn’t part of the plan. I never told Alfredo about this particular plan because I didn’t

MATTEO’S POVAlfredo. Dead. A supposed suicide. It didn’t add up.Alfredo was anything but he wasn’t a chicken head that would deliberately kill himself over a prison time. He would rather serve time and come out to continue his supposed revenge than die like a chicken.Anthony and I walked behind an attendant and a doctor who led the way into the morgue in the prison where the bodies are kept till consumed by the family of the deceased. “He’s he is.” The attendant says stopping in front of the freezer used to store the bodies before pulling it out for us to examine.Stepping closer to take a closer look, his face was totally disfigured almost to the point of no recognition. A burn? Did he set himself on fire? Why wasn’t this said over the phone before we got here?Dr. Hughes, the forensic pathologist, gestured toward the covered body on the steel table. “We received him early this morning. The official report states self-immolation inside his cell. Burned beyond recognition.”My jaw

AURORA’S POVIt’s 8:30 am and no signs of Sofia being back home, pretty sure she didn’t sleep at home last night as I didn’t see her bodyguard as well. Tried calling and she’s been unavailable.Bella strolls in lazily and plumps herself into a seat at the dining table where I, Matteo and Anthony are seated. “What’s for breakfast.” Her voice was patched and I passed her a glass of water. “Thanks, sweet girl.” She gulps down her water in one go. Anthony loads her plate with some food while Bella’s eyes scan the table questioningly, “Uhmm…where’s Soph? Has anyone checked in on her, she complained of cramps yesterday.” She noted. “I doubt she’s home, knocked on her door several times and nothing. Her phone’s not available as well.” I point out and just after I spoke we hear someone walk in and all heads turn simultaneously. There she is.Raising from my seat and grabbing a plate and spoon for her to use I query her “Where have you been? We’ve been looking for and just spoke about you ju
