Own me The Attack.
Luciana POVIt seemed Simon doesn't remember me .He doesn't know I'm a Galterio , I guess that's a good thing though.When I saw him at the Park yesterday , I felt this weird feeling , like butterflies in my tommy.I just hope it's not what I think it is ... I can't fall for Simon.I shook my head trying to get rid of the thoughts.Then I saw Theodore walking towards Noni's room , he looked angry... I decided to follow him."Noni , why did you take away the Romanos mansion?" I heard him ask before I entered."The Romanos mansion?" I questioned as I stepped into the room."It was never part of our plan , there are innocent people living there too." Theo said."None of the Romanos are innocent, don't be deceived!." She scowled."Moreover , you have no right questioning my actions." She added.I felt my blood boil."Yes , we do ... Especially when you are doing something that isn't fair." I chided."I don't have to explain myself to you." She snapped walking out of the room."Everyth

Madam Alexandra POVI have to find a way to make Theodore believe it was the Romanos that was behind the attack.“Yes , Madam Alexandra doesn’t suspect a thing.” I stopped when i heard someone whispering , I walked closer and saw Greta , the new maid Esma brought to me some months back.I have been suspicious of her lately , especially when I caught her in my room , she claimed she was cleaning , but I didn’t believe her.I hid behind the wall and listened closely to her conversation.“Yes Ma’am Celine , I will make sure to report back to you if there’s any news." She said.So she is a spy for the Romanos?She ended the call and walked out .Her face turned white when she saw me.“You ungrateful thing , after employing you , you still have the guts to betray me.” I spat.She immediately fell to her knees with pleads.“I’m..I’m sorry Ma’am.” She stuttered.“Who sent you , tell me!.” I yelled.“Mrs ..Celine..Romano.” She trembled.“How long has this been going on!” I demanded , she ke

Aria POV I woke up to the scent of flowers.I slowly opened my eyes to see Theo with a bouquet of fresh roses .“Good morning Beautiful.” He greeted with a smile handing me the flowers.I blushed and collected them.“To what do I owe this lovely gesture?” I smiled.“Beautiful flowers like this belongs to a beautiful woman like you.” He commented staring intensely at me.I blushed deeper , I can’t help it.“I fear You are becoming too soft Mr Galterio .” I joked.“Well , I’m only like this to you . you are very lucky you get to see this side of me Pumpkin.” He teased.I laughed , “Pumpkin?.” He scratched his beard nervously , “too cheesy?.”I smiled , “I love anything you call me.”He leaned and gave a peck on my lips .“Aren’t you angry about yesterday ... because of Simon?..” I asked as I played with the hem of my gown.He raised my face up with his index finger , “it’s quite the opposite Princess , I’m exhilarated ... you declared your feelings for me in front of everyone , I was

Theodore POVI grabbed my suit Jacket and walked out of my room.Aria door was slightly open , I checked but she wasn’t in.“Theo?” I heard her soft voice , I turned around ... she held a cup of coffee in her hands.“Good morning.” I greeted with a smile.“Morning ... you are heading out?” She asked , seeing as I was dressed.I nodded , “yes , I have a meeting.” “Oh.” She mouthed.I walked closer to her and played with her hair .“Don’t miss me too much.” I teased.She glared playfully , I chuckled.Then Pancho approached us ,“Hey... leaving without me?” He whined.I groaned and facepalmed myself ,“God... I can’t believe you are just waking up.”He smiled sheepishly ,“I thought the meeting was in the afternoon.”I shook my head , “just meet me in the office.”I kissed Aria and left to my car.Noni walked towards me , “Theodore , you are leaving already?” I nodded.“Why don’t you take one or two men along? , since Pancho isn’t going with you.” She suggested worriedly.“There’s n

Gather the men , we are going to attack the Romano mansion.”“But Ma’am , Theodore isn’t aware of this.” He argued.“If I give you an order , you do it ... don’t question me.” I barked.“Yes ma’am.” He hurried away.The men were ready with their guns.They all assembled before me at the Veranda.I stood up , “we are going to catch them off guard ... fire at the house from a distance to make it seem like an attack , am I clear?” I instructed.I turned around to see Mother Esma and Aria , they both looked confused at the scene.I smiled smugly at Aria ,“You didn’t really think i woul

Theodore POVIt's almost midnight now.I couldn’t sleep, I called the Police department to confirm if there was any progress with their search but still nothing.I ran my hands through my hair.Then Noni walked in.“Theodore?.” She called gently.I kept mute and turned the other way backing her.“Grandson, please let’s talk... I know you are angry with me, even though I don’t understand why.You have always planned to attack the Romanos and I tried to do that but you stopped me.” She grumbled.“Did you even consider they are innocent people in that house?.” I asked in disbelief.“You didn’t care about that before, Aria has really messed up with your mind.” She rolled her eyes.I sprang up angrily, “This isn’t about Aria!... It’s about you and what you are hiding from me.” “What are you talking about?” She eyed me.“What other enemies do we have apart from the Romano?... I keep asking but you always deny it.First I was attacked, now Aria was kidnapped!, who is behind all this!.” I ye

*One Year Later*Tears welled up in Theodore's eyes as he gently placed the flower on the grave. "It's over, mom," he whispered, his voice trembling. He reached out and intertwined his hands with Aria's, seeking comfort and support."Do you think she's proud of me?" he asked, his voice filled with uncertainty.Aria nodded, her eyes filled with love as she cupped Theodore's cheeks in her hands. “Of course, she is, my love. Despite everything, you came out stronger and a much better man. I'm sure her soul is finally at peace now," she reassured him, offering a warm smile.*** A year had passed since Alexandra died and the Romanos were finally free from their nightmare.They were all happy to have each other in the end, even though they had lost some.They mourned their losses but were also grateful for their blessings over the year.Aria gave birth to the most adorable twins, a precious little boy and a beautiful baby girl.

Theodore POV“What sick game are you trying to play right now!.” I glared at Alexandra, even though I was very much weak.The beating I had received from Alexandra men that night had injured me severely and also My attempt to break free from the ropes, had me seriously bleeding out from my wrist, but I could feel it already getting loose.“You are right, it’s a game that will be played on my terms.” She sneered and pulled out a remote detonator.My pulse quickened as my eyes flew wide open in realization.She chuckled at my reaction.“Your guess is correct Theodore.”“It’s a remote detonator and it has a timer. Right now, all of your family is gathered at the Romano mansion, and a bomb has been planted there, just waiting for me to tick it off.” She concluded with a satisfactory smile.“What!.” Aria exclaimed in panic.“Hey!, This wasn’t our agreement. I told you my dad said out of this!.” Evan raged.She clicked her tongue as she shook her head, feigning pity. “Well Evan, I guess yo

Alexandra POVI groaned painfully as the doctor wrapped the bandage around my arm.“Take these prescribed medications and you will be fine.” He advised and walked away.“Who is he? Do you trust him?.” Evan queried.I nodded. “Dr. Ivan has always been my personal doctor, moreover he was blindfolded while coming here.” He sighed and ran his hand through his hair in frustration,“So what now?, the AISE are still on your trail, it won’t be long before they..” “They won’t find me.” I cut him off from his rambling.“How are you so sure?, we might be in a different house, but we are still in Corleone. What are we still doing here when we should be leaving instead!.” He grumbled.“Come with me.” I instructed.I led him into the study and walked towards the bookshelf, pushing it backwards and revealing the stairs leading down to the underground.“an underground?.” He exclaimed in shock.I walked down the stairs and he followed suit.“I bought this place immediately I moved to Corleone, just i

Theodore POVPaola fell asleep on my arms and I placed her gently on her bed, placing a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.“Theodore?.” I turned around to see Hernando, in a very disturbed manner.“What happened?.” I asked worriedly.“I just received a call from Damien and the AISE, Rocco is dead, apparently he self strangled himself this morning.” He informed.“Shit.” I cursed, running my hands through my hair.“I can’t believe he killed himself rather than betray Alexandra.” “He was really loyal to her.” He replied.“It doesn’t matter. We are attacking Alexandra today.” I affirmed through gritted teeth.He nodded in agreement.“The AISE is ready–“He was suddenly cut off by Aria loud shriek.She ran towards me with teary eyes.“Theo!!!.” I caught her in my arms.“Hey, hey!, what’s wrong?.” “Becca.. we can’t find her.” She stuttered, with a trembling voice.“What?.” I mumbled with worry.“I went to her room to check up on her but she wasn’t there, then I called Pancho t

Martina POV“No!.” I trashed my dressing table.My heart welled up with so many emotions- Anger, regret, pain.I remembered everything vividly like I was actually reliving it.Walking into the house that night, to see Dad’s bloody head in a box being carried away by the guards I still didn’t want to believe, even though I looked around and literally saw mom’s broken soul. I still tried to convince myself that it wasn’t him, that my eyes were playing tricks with me.But it was very much true, no matter how many times I blinked and looked back into the box, I still saw it.I just couldn’t get the image of his head in that box out of my head.This was definitely Alexandra. Suddenly, an overwhelming anger filled me, I didn’t care about Aria or even Theodore anymore. All the urge I felt to destroy Aria was now doubled and was now focused on Alexandra instead, now more than ever, I need to make her pay for everything she has done to my family.“Martina.” Aria called softly as she entere

Theodore POV“Hey Princess.” I kissed Aria’s forehead gently stirring her awake.I got home late last night after talking with Damien and she had already slept.Her eyes fluttered open slowly and then widened immediately they met mine.“Theo!, you are back.” She squealed, wrapping her arms around me.“Someone missed me.” I teased with a low chuckle.“Of course I did.” She blushed, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. Then she bit her lips nervously.“So what did you find out?.” She asked as her eyes glinted with curiosity.I sighed tiredly and explained everything Aunt Agatha told us to her.“Oh my.” She gasped in shock as her face clouded with pity.“Alexandra is really broken.” She mumbled.“Yes, but it doesn’t give her the right to hunt innocent people though.” I argued.“Innocent people I dragged into this mess.” I added with a frown, and looked away in guilt.“Hey.” She turned me so I could face her,“You can’t blame yourself for her actions. They had nothing to do with you.

Luciana POV“Thank you.” I said to the movers that brought in my Sofa and closed the door after they left.I finally moved to my apartment in Milan today, after much stalling. I started having second thoughts at the last minute, maybe because of Simon.No matter how much I try, I can’t shake off that kiss from my mind, I couldn’t deny the chemistry between us and It seemed like he couldn’t either.I shook my head, heaving a deep sigh. I might just be imagining that he felt that way.He was so in love with Aria for a long time, it’s not something he could easily get over. Even if he did, I don’t think I could stand a chance, maybe if I wasn’t the granddaughter of his family’s greatest enemy, things would be easier.I fell on the sofa groaning tiredly. It doesn’t matter anyway, I’m here and he’s there, we would never work out, That was the bitter realization and I should get used to it.>I decided to keep myself busy by arranging the apartment, hopefully I get to finish today because

Theodore POVWe finally got to La Morra, it was evening just like Hernando had predicted.Through the address Giovanni gave us, we located Aunt Agatha’s house. It was indeed in a secluded area.I stopped the car and we both got down.Hernando walked over to the backseat to bring out the gift basket we bought for her.“Come on Son.” He beckoned as he walked towards the house.and surprisingly, it didn’t bother me when he called me son, it didn’t repulse me like before. Maybe it’s because of yesterday night.After what happened, I could feel us getting closer and weirdly enough, I loved it.I followed him and we got to the front door. I proceeded to knock but the door creaked open on its own. “Oh.” Hernando shrugged and walked in, I followed suit.We both looked around the house, it did look old, almost falling apart but it felt like it gave her peace.She must really despise her son, if she had to come all the way here from him.“It doesn’t look like we are breaking in right?.” Hernan

Martina POV“Martina?.” Paola called, a smile plastered on her face as she walked towards me. I heaved a deep sigh of relief as I held my chest, I could feel my body moving again.I had such a fright, I thought it was Ma’am Serena.“What are you doing in Ma’am Serena’s room?.” She questioned, tilting her head to the side and twisting her little mouth.“Uh…um, I came to see her, I had a surprise for her.” I lied, stuttering a little.“Surprise?.” She squealed excitedly, I placed my finger over her mouth immediately.“Shh!, you will ruin it.” I chided, the squatted down to her level.“Yes Paola, a surprise, so you can’t tell her I was in here, okay?.” I cajoled gently. she nodded in agreement and then skipped away giddily.I sighed and walked out of the room, closing the door quietly.Now I have to hurry. I rushed towards Hernando’s office, making sure no one was around, I unlocked the door and went in.“Where do I start from now?.” I grumbled, rubbing my chin in confusion.I checked
