When the nurse Dr. Bryan sent out of the theatre room pulled the doors open, Luca took the opportunity and dragged the poor lady outside."Where's my wife?""She's.. she's inside.."Luca wasted no time and walked into the room. His eyes immediately fell upon Aurora. He cringed at the sight of her. Her skin was bruised and battered on every side.He marched towards the doctor and punched him through the face. He jerked him up."What do you think you're doing?""S-sir...please.. don't, don't kill me. I..I promise I haven't done anything to her. The other guy forced me to do this...I..I never wanted to but I had no choice. He would kill me if I didn't."The machine went off, making a noisy sound. They're gaze fell on it and then back to Aurora."What's happening to her?" Luca let go the doctor's collar and hurried towards Aurora's bed while the Doctor and the nurses went into figuring out what the problem was."Aurora.." Luca whispered, almost stopping himself from screaming. This was the
At the opening of the door, Aurora's eyes followed suit. Luca stepped into the room unsure of what to do. He had no idea if Aurora was mad at him thinking that he'd left her all alone to suffer.However it was the complete opposite.With mouth and eyes wide open, Aurora climbed out of the bed and stopped when her feet touched the ground. She stared at the man in front of her."Luca," she whispered as if she was in a dream and it was too good to be true. She was proved wrong when Luca covered the distance between them in quick long strides, took her chin between his fingers and kissed her. Amber immediately scrambled for her phone in between giggles and took several shot.Seeing that she was still in doubt, Luca placed his hand on her waist and pressed her body to him as if to say, it's truly me, Aurora.Her hand went to his hair- her favorite spot as their kissing intensified. If Andrea did not take the initiative to leave the couple, Amber would have never stopped taking pictures.Eve
Everyone agreed that the setting was perfect.The banks of flowers were dewy-fresh despite the intolerable heat of the day.The choir had never sang so clearly or so well,and the organist had given the performance of his life.The bridesmaids,all twelve of them,formed a perfect picture in their lavender organdie with dainty floral headdresses,while the bridegroom, escorted by twelve groomsmen looked cold and smart as befitted the occasion.The mothers of the bride and groom,prominent in the front pews on their seperate sides of the church,were done up like peacocks,rivaling each other in expensive silk and a style of hat made popular by a member of the British royal family.It has to be said,however,that the extravagant drapes of their traditional busuits made the hats look rather silly.The only people missing were the bride and her father who was supposed to be giving her away.It was no fun for the folks sitting tightly packed on the hard benches of the cathedral for more than an hou
"Please,be calm." adviced the bishop "Everything will be alright Mrs-""What do you mean,all right??!" Mrs Genovese forgot she was talking to a bishop of the biggest church in Riverdale.She glared at the poor man as indignantly as she would at anyone else who she believed was treating her like a fool."All right? All right? How can it be all right,when there are hundreds of kinfolk and friends out there, witnessing this insult to my son and our whole family?!" she hissed"And what about the money we've spent?! It's no secret that our side has paid for the wedding feast that is ready and waiting at the Imperial Hotel-and that cost something,I can tell you!"She continued "Why,the wedding cake alone cost-"The bishop raised his hands as if to ward off the full blast of Mrs Genovese's attack."Please,listen to me madam" he implored "There is no reason for not going ahead with the wedding feast.I am confident that Aurora will wish to go through with the ceremony as soon as she has had ti
Aurora Tate,bride to be had a mask on her face to hide her identity.She was aware of what she had just done.She ran away from her own wedding.Who wouldn't? All of a sudden the wealth and affluence of her family is gone.Her mother has been sick for two years now and her father basically spent all he has with nothing to show for it.Just to pay back his increasing debt,Mr Tate had gone and made the biggest mistake in his life.Of all the available suitors in the whole of Riverdale her father had to give her off to the stern and unscrupulous Mafia,Don Genovese.Aurora had no idea if he was in support of it but she couldn't care less.Her heart belongs to someone else already and she didn't think she'd be able to love anyone the same again.Even as she thought of it,she agreed that her boyfriend would be of help to her in this dire moment.Besides, she wouldn't just sit here in the restaurant forever.With this flaming and courageous spirit,Aurora Tate headed to her boyfriend's without t
"You must be out of your mind,Aurora!" boomed Matteo.He looked perplexed."What exactly are you playing at!""Play??" questioned Aurora with a weak smile on her face "I am pregnant,Matteo! And you're the f*cking father!"Matteo repeatedly shook his head."Stop lieing to me!" he bellowed and then grabbed her arm, walking towards the door."Get out of here,Aurora! I'm not stupid to fall for your nonsensical games!" he declaredBefore he could pull the door open,she snatched her arm away"I am not playing any games! Instead I see this as your pathetic way of protecting yourself! How could you pretend that we never had it?!" screamed Aurora,every part of her body aching."So what?" came his quick reply "Do you think I don't know how you f*ck around with the doctors at the hospital?!"Aurora's mouth dropped open."Don't act surprise! C'mon I still have a future to look up to and I cannot let you force this piece of shit on me!" he said pointing at her two months old pregnancy."Future to l
Aurora wiped her tears and got up from the chair.Amber Hill followed two seconds later.Perhaps she was still in shock after the menacing voice she just heard.Aurora began to straighten her dress.She buckled her boot and tossed her mask aside.Anger filling her heart."A-aurora was..was that the Don?" stammered Amber."Yes." Aurora answered as she tucked her phone into her jean pocket.Amber held her arm just when she was about to leave."Aurora!" she yelled "Are you seriously going to go there?!""What do you want me to do?!" she snapped "Sit here and shake in fear?!""No.." Amber sighed "Just..just call and apologize and the agree to the-"Aurora raised her hand "Marry someone as ruthless as him?? How can you advice that to me,Amber?! He f*cking threatened to murder my parent!"Amber held her hands."Please be calm! Don't take out your anger on me,okay?? I am just trying to help""Listen to me,Aurora.Dont mess with him further." she sighed "I am scared for you.He didn't look like h
Aurora Tate sat on one of the chairs the nurses had provided for her.She looked on forlornly like she had lost all reason to live.Amber Hill came in few hours later after Aurora had narrated everything to her in tears on the phone.She sat quietly beside her unable to find the right words to say."How..how are they?" she finally found her voice.A bold tear fell through Aurora's cheek."Father's still undergoing treatment, mother's blood pressure shot up.. it's.. it's.." her lips trembled "Critical."Amber pulled her into an embrace."We.. we're married Amber" she cried on her shoulders "I..I had to sign it""It's enough now, Aurora" she wiped her tears "That's enough crying."She held her face."Just..just look at how red and puffed out your face is. It's enough""It hurts,Amber!" voiced out Aurora.The bodyguards that Luca Genovese had stationed by her side turned their attention to her.They shot her a menacing stare but she was seriously angry to stop talking.Besides,how else wo

Luca found the door to the small house ajar but not first noticing the drops of blood on the floor. He clenched his jaw and followed the directives of the gps tracker.It led him to the back of the house where the diamond ring glowed softly, alone in the dirt. He picked it up and dusted it, then turned around and walked into the house.He headed up the stairs first and into the room Aurora had stayed in. Something drew him into the bathroom and blood-stained tissues lay in numbers inside the bath. He walked out of there immediately and stopped by Alex's room. There was nothing to see except his mother's portrait hanging on the wall.Luca was about to leave when he caught sight of a paper lieing on the drawer close to the bed. At this point, everything mattered. So he walked over to it and picked it up. He was shocked to find Aurora's pregnancy report. He stopped reading when he found the section secluded 'a new foetus ' which was marked blue and the previous foetus marked red which me
The door was just few seconds from giving way when Aurora realized that crying wouldn't help. Since she had already figured that no one was coming to save her, she had herself only.She grabbed the kitchen knife and wiped her tears, trying to control the rate of her heart beat with every hit Alex had on the breaking door.Her grip around the knife tightened. Now was not the time to act scared. The lives of her kids were at stake. The door gave way, creating a thud.She stretched out the knife. Alex looked like he would kill her right there. He stepped on the door and into the kitchen, his hair scattered about his forehead with red eyes."Don't make me do this, Aurora. Don't make this hard enough!" "Dare to come near me and I promise I won't hesitate to commit my first murder!" she warned, her hand with the knife trembling."You won't do that," Alex said as a matter-of-fact "Don't underestimate me, Alex." she retorted "I have every reason to kill you! And nothing will stop me, not ev
Leo was seating on the couch inside of Luca's ward, angrily watching the latter munching salad as the laptop rested on his laps.Suddenly, he pushed the plate of salad on the ground as he watched in horror. Leo abruptly got up and continued to stare at Luca. The look on Luca's face is the look Leo has been expecting since Aurora's abduction and things changed. "Get Austin," Luca ordered. However confused, Leo still didn't understand what was going on."Get me Austin, Leo! Immediately!"Leo brought out his phone and called the latter's number. Although he didn't pick up, he was there the next minute."Luca what is going on??" Leo asked, scared at the turn of event. A while ago Luca remained non-chalant and now suddenly he was acting weird. Did the situation of Aurora's abduction just sink into his head?"Leave, Leo." Luca ordered"Luca, what is wrong with you?!""Leo, leave!!" he yelled more loudly this time and Leo turned back and left, muttering curses under his breath.Andrea met L
Leo met Andrea outside the hospital and they both walked towards Luca's ward. Since his recovery, Andrea had not visited him. Her visit had motives which were to ask about his plan on getting Aurora back.Yesterday, Amber had thrown a fit and it wasn't entirely far from the truth. Besides, she had stayed with Alex for a short time and she didn't want to experience such a thing ever again.Leo placed his hand on the knob to open the door, however Austin opened the door from behind and walked out first. Leo and Andrea looked at him and then back at themselves before they walked into the ward.Leo saw that Luca had his clothes changed and a laptop rested on his thighs as he busied himself with God knows what. Recently, Leo was in the dark about Luca's plan. Only Austin knew what was going on and he wouldn't disclose it to Leo.Even when Leo tried to get Luca to speak, he wouldn't say a word either. The laptop seem to hold a secret that none of them could fathom.They stopped by his bed.
Andrea was jerked awake by the continuous ringing of the door bell. With sleepy eyes she climbed out of bed early the next morning and walked down the stairs when she remembered Leo's warnings not to open the door for anyone.Her heart beat accelerated at the continuous ringing of the door bell and she became fully awake."Who could it be?" she wondered and grabbed a kitchen knife before taking the breathing exercise and opening the door at the count of three."Oh my God!! It's just me!" Amber immediately screamed when a knife jabbed out of the entrance.Andrea recognized her, looked left and right before letting her in and shutting the door again, her mind finally at rest."Is..is something wrong ma'am?" an ignorant Amber asked. Last she remembered, Aurora had said that Andrea Genovese had moved out of the house after serving Leo a divorce. Amber's fears were confirmed. Something was indeed wrong. Aurora's phone hasn't connected for almost a month. She summoned enough courage and wal
Luca gained consciousness two weeks later to the happiness of Leo. After having been unconscious all that time, Leo became scared and had been on the doctor's neck."The injuries were great, Mr Genovese" the doctor had explained a week ago "Although he survived, the toxin is playing it's part and changes inexplicably. A team of lab doctors are studying the different mutations and just maybe..maybe there might be a way to reverse the paralyzing effect."Leo was ecstatic. There was hope, however when Luca didn't gain consciousness three days after the Doctor's explanation he became worried and the Doctor himself didn't have a viable explanation this time around."Mr Genovese, I need you to understand that your brother is fine. Infact, his immune system is one of the strongest I've ever seen. The toxin seems to have been mixed with Feroglobin which is slowly dissolving the effect of the toxin. He's under closer watch because we've never seen anything like it"Four days later, Luca opened
The doctor approached Andrea and Leo who was resting on her shoulder the next morning."Leo," she called and he looked up to find the doctor. He was up on his feet immediately and Andrea followed suit."Good morning, Mr and Mrs Genovese" the doctor greeted "I'm sorry that I'm only here a day after the accident. It's just that the real problem took a while to figure out.""Doctor, what are you talking about? How's my brother?? Is he alright?""Mr Genovese," the doctor placed a hand on his shoulder "I'm afraid your brother will be paralyzed for the rest of his life.""What?" Leo chuckled while Andrea gasped. "Doc, that..that can't be true. Perhaps there was some form of misconduct.""Mr Genovese, although your brother had major injuries from the accident it is not the cause of his paralysis. That is why I took as much time as I could and eventually arrived at it. Luca was injected with a very dangerous substance, currently the most sought after toxin right now in the country and only fe
