CHAPTER 40 •AURORA MATTEO•It travel day and also a day I wake up as MRS AURORA MATTEO ROCCO.I’m excited and fascinated at the thought of having his name beside mine, it sounds so good together like it’s always meant to be as one.I had slept in my own room last night as Matteo had work to finish up before our trip this morning. Waking up I had a shower and dressed in a black knee-length sleeveless gown pairing it with a white puffy sweater cause of the cold. I let my hair down cause I notice Matteo loves it that way.While putting on my makeup my room door opens and Matteo is at the other side grinning at me before stepping in, “Good morning Mrs Matteo, how was your night?”Hearing him call me that made my insides tingle in a good way. “Good morning Husband.” I greet back giving him a wide smile as he strides to where I am seated placing a kiss on my lips softly.“I see you’re so eager to leave huh.” He noticed my outfit and I noticed as he licked
CHAPTER 41 •MATTEO’S POV•She always has this look of tranquility whenever she’s asleep. Her soft feminine features looked so calm and innocent as if inviting me to her. She now bears my name and I won’t lie that I’m not swelling inside me.As a man who had a ton shit of bad reputation with women, this very woman had an effect on me no other woman has ever had before and it was so powerful I could mistake it for love if it didn’t know what love was. She’s pure and she’s mine.It’s almost landing time after a long twelve-hour flight, she’s been asleep for the whole flight! One would think she cooked the dishes for her wedding which made her exhausted. She was just a character.I tap her gently from her slumber “Wake up baby girl, we’re almost here and I need you tucked in your seatbelt for a safe landing.” She opens her eyes and goddamnit, those emerald eyes of hers would be the end of me I swear to God.She looks like she doesn’t wanna wake up but she
CHAPTER 42 •AURORA MATTEO•I didn’t see that coming but in an instant, his lips were on mine hungrily and his touch on my almost naked body made me go wild. It was fire and I couldn’t resist moaning out loud as he plunged his tongue into my mouth kissing me mindlessly.Without a thought, my arms went round his neck and I instinctively pressed my body into his. I wanted this so badly as my pussy was throbbing hard needy for his touch.He picked me up and placed me on the bed with my back to the bed before trailing kisses from my jawline down to my neck and bare shoulders. My body shudders at his touch and he stares at me with hooded eyes that are clouded with raw lust.“Aurora I can’t hold it anymore, I want you.” he whispers lowly his eyes looking into mine begging for permission to take me. I want him I can’t wait anymore.“Make me yours, completely yours, please…” I whimpered as I was fucking impatient longing for his touch.His mouth found mine again and this t
CHAPTER 43 •MATTEO’S POV•“Aurora hurry the tour guide is waiting.” I shout from the balcony.It’s been a day since we got here but we never made it out of our rooms after that night as we kept fucking on ends. I take back ever thinking she was naive as she’s not, not one bit. The girl had an insatiable appetite but who am I not to give her what she wants?I hear her footsteps coming from the hallway and I go to the living room to receive her.“Took you so long huh? One would think you’re going for a fashion parade in that outfit.” I tell her eyeing her dress up and down. It was a long jean skirt that had a slit or whatever from down up to her thigh, she paired it with a very tiny crop top that looked like a bra to me but she wore a jacket over it which is fine. Otherwise, she would have to change that top, I’m not sharing my wife’s body with the eyes of these Singaporean men.“I’m done I’m done, I couldn’t find my earrings and had to grab another.
CHAPTER 44 •AURORA MARCO•It’s been two weeks since our vacation and it’s been nothing short of amazing and fun. Visiting many intriguing locations and trying out different meals was the highlight of this trip. Some days were spent at the villa where we just stayed indoors baking random pastries and of course, having sex.He’s hand hasn’t been off my body since the first time we had sex and I on the other hand realized I had a very high sex drive which I wasn’t expecting based on the fact I was a virgin before marriage. I guess reading all those erotica finally paid off as Mattee would constantly appreciate my sexual skills and abilities as the best he’s ever had making me feel proud each time I give him a good time.“Aurora you need to get down here, we have a surprise guest.” Matteo’s voice booms up from the living room. Surprise guest? I wonder who it was, he never said anything about any sort of visitors coming over.Rushing out of the room to see who
CHAPTER 45 •BELLA’S POV•Aurora was my tour guide for the day and she did a good job showing me around both the villa and a few other places close to the villa. She even got me lavender as a present. The last place we visit is the ice cream shop where she orders a mint-flavored ice cream for herself and I go for the mango-flavored ice cream. We take our seats by the windows as we eat our ice creams talking about random stuff and people we see outside.“How does that taste anyway?” I ask her taking a bite of her ice cream and I’m beyond unimpressed. It tastes like toothpaste! “How are you eating that young lady? That tastes so bad.” I was taken aback that a person could have that flavor of ice cream when it tasted that way.“What? It’s nice and I like it.” She giggled trying to feed me another bite but I pulled away scowling at her which just made her laugh more. But a few seconds later I see her expression change.“What is it Aurora? Is something bothe
CHAPTER 46 •MATTEO’S POV•“You should prepare an hour before our outings if you’ll be taking so much time dressing up.” I tell Aurora as she rushes outside to join, Bella and Anthony.It’s been a day since they got here and Aurora proposed the idea of taking them somewhere fun for the day yet she ends up coming out last after spending time looking for an outfit as she felt the ones she had weren’t good enough for the outing. Mind you were going to visit a food center. She’s been raving about the food we got and wanted them to try some of it too.“I still couldn’t find something good enough but I’ll make do with this.” she says. Her outfit was cute tho, a yellow milkmaid gown that didn’t do a good job of hiding her big boobs much to my annoyance but I won’t complain as she wouldn’t change even if I say so.“I rented a car for the drive there and I’ll be your tour guide for the day.” I announced and they all cheered excitedly. It felt good to do something differ
CHAPTER 47 •AURORA MARCO•We’re home now I was still in shock. When our eyes met I could feel my blood run cold and from my expression, I could guess he knew that I recognized him which I didn’t know if it was a good or bad sigh judging by the fact he’d been able to mess with us at first because we didn’t know who he was.The trip back home took less than thirty minutes cause Matteo drove like a madman. Anthony on the other hand kept his eyes straight on the rearview mirror to check if we were being trailed but it turns out we weren’t which was okay I guess.“Here have some tea, it’s lavender tea and helps to calm the nerves.” Bella comes into the lounge with a cup of tea and takes a seat beside me handing me the hot cup of tea. “thanks Bells.” I thank her taking the tea.The tea was actually calming and what I needed at the moment as the heat seeped into my body calming my tensed-up nerves with a few sips. “What about Matteo?” I haven’t seen him since we g
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
