CHAPTER 32 •MATTEO’S POV•“Baby girl…..Aurora please stay with me.” I whispered as she lay on the bed in my room an IV drip was running into her bloodstream as she was knocked out unconscious.The whole incident happened in a flash with no time to properly assess the situation before the chandelier came crashing down almost on our heads.The security is trying to find out who and how it managed to happen. A thorough investigation is currently taking place as everyone involved in the engagement party preparation was being questioned one by one.Looking at her color-drained face that lay on the bed, I realize that she nearly lost her life because of me just after I promised to keep her safe always.“Can I come in?” I heard my mother’s voice from the door of the room and I could only nod at that moment.Stepping into the room and shutting the door quietly behind her, she walks to the bedside and sits on the bed just right next to Aurora. I sat on a chair placed next

CHAPTER 33 •MATTEO’S POV•It’s been a full day since after the incident that occurred and Aurora wasn’t awake as well. The doctor had said during the last check-up that she was mentally exhausted and needed proper rest hence her not waking up immediately, also her head had somehow managed to hit the marble floor while trying to avoid the crashing chandelier and the impact would leave her waking up with a bad migraine if she awakes without enough rest.I and Anthony on the other hand have searched everywhere, the whole house and all its rooms, outside the building too for any trace left behind by the culprit but haven’t seen any. The one one-on-one investigation came out futile as none of them were found suspicious as they all proved their alibi. It seemed like a dead end to us and I was mad at myself.The wedding was a week away and everything was chaotic. I don’t even know how I managed to be this calm for a full day, my usual self would be seeing red

CHAPTER 34 •AURORA’S POV•The man at the party! How could I have missed that?The night at the party while Matteo spoke to his business partners when I felt some state at me. He stood at the corner close to the flowers, his eyes were icy and he didn’t seem familiar like anyone I’d seen before even among the guards. It scared me and when I turned to tell Matteo about him, on turning back he was gone. Before passing out the last thing I could remember was his smug face standing among the guards looking at me with an odd expression. He has an axe tattoo on his upper neck which his suit barely covers.My eyes widened as I remembered this, I managed to overhear Bella’s conversation with Matteo and this could be a piece of useful information.“Matteo the man who was staring at me at the party, it was him!” I was so skittish as I spoke I forgot I just woke up from a long sleep my head immediately started to hurt.Placing me back on the soft pillows, Matteo chides me slowly, “Take it, e

CHAPTER 35 •BELLA’S POV•The axe tattoo above on the neck. If I and Matteo’s guess wasn’t wrong then we definitely have a lead on who our attacker may be. Or rather,where they’re from.THE DEVILS GATE!They were a well known cult gang who tried to disguise themselves as Mafias to infiltrate the mafia world and get high end informations on strong Mafia households. They worked with a particular set of bandits; THE ENZO’s. Alfredo Enzo,former best friend to Matteo before thier fall out which led to them being at each other’s throats for years. The devil’s gate members were wiped out at the same time we went at war with the Enzo’s bandits. The bandits were barely attacked as most of them managed to escape but the Devil’s gate members were burnt alive in the building that served as their hideout. Which means all of them should be dead,so why then would any of them survive and be at Matteo’s engagement party at that?I need to get to the bottom of th

CHAPTER 36 •AURORA’S POV•Bella calls Matteo and me to the security room to go through the CCTvs. While I’m keen on being of some help finally, Matteo isn’t having it as he claims I have to sleep some more and have a proper rest like I didn’t just sleep for over 24 hours straight just hours prior. I didn’t let him have the final say tho which is why I’m currently sitting in his arms and letting him carry me on his lap the whole time while looking through the cameras. I like it tho, snuggling into his body and inhaling his masculine scent is like medicine to my body.Bella and Anthony on the other hand are already regretting calling me in here with them as they keep giving us the side eyes and constant eye rolls, teasing Matteo half of the time.“Are you going to carry her all day brother?” Bella eyes me teasingly.“Yes, she’s a baby and babies need to be cared for.” he replies back casually but wait what!? Baby?Turning back to give him, poking my finger

CHAPTER 37 •MATTEO’S POV•It’s been a few days and now it’s our wedding eve.Mother and Aurora have agreed to go ahead with the wedding as planned not canceling anything. Aurora herself wasn’t planning on changing the dates as she said she wouldn’t let another person derive joy from causing her accident to her changing dates.Over the weeks we’ve been together and closer, but I still felt I didn’t know much about her and I was going to ask her tonight. Let’s call it a pep talk before the actual marriage.It was already past midnight and she wasn’t asleep,she kept tossing around in bed not being able to sleep.“Aurora, can’t sleep?” I ask taking her into my arms, she smells like lavender.“Yeah, I’m thinking of today, what if I trip and fall while walking down the aisle?” She questions looking at me with those big round eyes of hers. I chuckle at her question because it was funny, how did she even think of that?“You’ll do well, I know you will.” I t

CHAPTER 38 •AURORA MATTEO•It’s finally here……my wedding day.It’s been 3 hours already since I started getting ready, my nerves were playing tricks on me but I wasn’t going to let it ruin my big day. I’ve been waiting for this day my whole life, I didn’t want it at first but now I do and nothing or no one will ruin it for me.My way was slicked up in a neat messy bun with some curls that were let loose. My makeup was done by Sofia, she did a good job making it look as natural and minimalist as I wanted it to be.Someone knocked at the door and Bella went to check. Anthony stands at the other end of the door with a small gift bag in hand.“What’s that?” Sofia ask“I don’t know,a pre-wedding gift for Aurora.” Bella hands me the bag and goes on with what she was doing.Opening the bag I saw a was a digital camera and a piece of paper was stuck on it.“Dear Aurora, I’m happy for you. It’s a new beginning and a time to make new, interesting and meaningful me

CHAPTER 39 •AURORA’S POV•The reception was great and hitch-free as no chandeliers came down on our heads, thank Goodness.Matteo, his dad and my dad walked around meeting other Mafia dons, introducing my dad to other people who he could always work with later in the future as the Inlaw to the Almighty Rocco’s.I on the other hand sar with Bella, Sofia, my sister and other family members from both my family and Matteo’s family. Surprisingly they were all cool and chill with me it didn’t even seem like we just met. They all know the history of my marriage so there was no need for any more talks like the “How did you guys meet?” kinda stuff.Sofia on the other hand was so engrossed in some guy who stood with Anthony, calling him hot and would not just keep her eyes off him.“Sofia how long will you keep staring?” Bella asked taking a bite of her cheesecake, I didn’t have an appetite so I wasn’t eating.“I don’t know,he’s hot. I want him to notice me.” S

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.

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
