Own me Chapter 79: His Truth
Theodore POVThere was more than one adjective that could describe my life right now- Blissful, complete, joyous.Being with Aria makes me complete, there’s so doubt in that.I looked at her, she was still asleep. I removed some of the hair covering her perfect face.Even when sleeping, she still looks Ethereal.“Just like an angel.” I smiled and pressed a kiss gently on her forehead, so I wouldn’t wake her up.I walked to the kitchen, I decided to prepare Spaghetti alla Carbonara.I prepared the ingredients and started cooking.This was Aria’s favorite food, which also happens to be my mom’s favorite.A small smile appeared on my face, even though I wasn’t able to prepare this for mom, doing this for Aria just seems like it’s the same.“Theo.” Aria stepped into the kitchen, rubbing her sleepy eyes with her fist.I rinsed my hands and walked over to her.“Go back to bed my love.” I kissed her lightly on the lips.“Are you cooking?.” She asked as she sniffled.I laughed, she looked s

Hernando POVI was worried about Theodore’s outburst of anger when he left, so I called Aria to confirm how he was doing. She informed me that they would be staying at Ma’am Maddalena’s place for a while.I was still at their place, honestly I felt like I couldn’t leave cause I didn’t know what to do next.I brought out Zelda’s picture which was always in the wallet and kissed it intently.“We have a son together.” I chuckled bitterly.I really couldn’t help but imagine how things would have been so much different if I didn’t go on that mission Dad sent me.She would still be alive and we would have raised our son together with so much love.Just then I heard a knock and I walked over to open, it was Damien.“Esma said I would find you here.” He said as he walked in.I sniffled and wiped the tears by the corner of my eyes with my finger.“How are you holding up?.” He asked with concern.I sighed as I ran my hands over my hair.“Confused, I’m…” I paused and sniffled.“I actually don’t

Luciana POVI roamed across the halls of the mansion and it was all empty.In a blink of an eye, everybody gone.Renee and Salma, Theodore and Aria, Mother Esma and even Pancho, he moved out a month ago to his own house.This is all because of Noni, she is even more Vile than I thought.How could she do this to us? She always claimed we were a family, yet she single-handedly destroyed us by herself.She lied to Theodore all his life, manipulated him!, I admit I’m so scared of what she can do next.All the love I once had for a woman who was like a mother to me is slowly turning into hate. Even staying in this place gives me the ick. I grabbed my keys and drove out, to the only place I feel safe— the park.>I sat on the swing, letting the warm breeze hit my face, as I closed my eyes and sighed.It felt so peaceful, making me almost forget my problems.“I knew you would be here.” I heard a familiar voice utter.I opened my eyes to see Simon in front of me with a soft smile.“Hi.” I

Pancho POV“Becca please, open your eyes my love, open your eyes, Stay with me!.” I bellowed, squeezing her hand in mine as the nurses wheeled in Becca to the operating room.“You can’t come in sir.” They restricted and then closed the door behind them.I grabbed a handful of hair in my hands slumping onto the chair.“Pancho!.” I looked up, it was Ma’am Serena and Matteo, her son.I called her in the ambulance to inform of her what happened.Damien, Hernando and mom also rushed in after them, I also called him and Theodore.“How is she? How is my Becca?.” She cried out, looking in my eyes with desperation.I couldn’t reply her as my mouth was even too heavy to speak. I bit my lips hard trying to fight back my tears, it failed.There was no stopping them, I was vulnerable at this point and I don’t even care.All I care about is my woman inside that operating room fighting for her life right now.My heart sank at the thought of even probably losing her. “I can’t lose you Becca.” I whi

Becca POVTears streamed down my eyes as I thought of what Pancho just told me.How is this possible?. In just one night my whole life has changed.I’m a Galterio and my father tried to kill me, it all seems too surreal.The door opened slightly and Aunt Serena walked in, guilt also evident on her face.“Becca, I’m so glad you are fine, I was so scared.” She bewailed but I simply turned the other way, not looking at her.She sighed and took my hands in hers.“I know you are mad at me.” She mumbled softly.Of course I’m mad at her, she knew all these years and also didn’t tell me.“You knew I was a Galterio all along.” I snapped, still not looking at her.“What?, No— I just found out too, your parents never knew the truth either.” She revealed.“You mean my adopted parents.” I sniffled, turning to look at her with tears already brimming in my eyes.“Oh my babygirl, my dear Becca.” She crooned, kissing my hands.“I’m so sorry we kept it from you, but your parents never for once thought o

Theodore POVI walked out of the room, leaving Aria and Becca to chat.I ran into Mother Esma in the hallway.“Theodore, can we talk?.” She requested.We sat at the Cafe, I ordered coffee for both of us.She heaved a deep breath.“I don’t know how to beg for your forgiveness, for everything.” She peeped.I shook my head. “You don’t have to.”“I hurt you Theodore, I lied to you, because of me, Alexandra hurt you and even Aria so much.” She lamented.I took her hands in mine.“I understand why you did it Mother Esma, Alexandra threatened you.” I said softly.“I can’t believe you had to live in fear all this while” I mumbled.A tear slid down her cheeks.“I wanted so many times to tell you but I knew with one snap of her finger, my Pancho could be dead.”“I’m afraid of what she would do now, to him, to you.” She cried, as she wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks with the back of her palm.I moved closer to her and placed her head on my shoulders.“I will do everything in my power to p
