"D-don...Don Genovese.." Amber stuttered "What..how...why..why are you here??"

His gaze that was earlier wandering around the house turned back to her face.So sharp was it that Amber gasped,wandering how Aurora could stay in the same house with this man..

"Uhm...I mean...what a pleasure to have you here!" she quickly changed her earlier statement "Please have a seat.I will..will get something for you"

"Don't bother" he stopped her from leaving "I'm here to take her"

"Take her?" Amber feigned ignorance "So sorry Don Genovese..Aurora left a while ago."

"Is that so?" his gaze pierced deep into hers. "Whose car is outside then?"

"That...ah..." she turned speechless.

Without wasting time he began to make his way to where he guessed the bedroom must be.

Amber came and stood in front of him... fear overwhelming her entire being.

"I..I will call her out.Please don't go in..she..she might be naked" she drew in a sharp breath "And..and I don't think you'd like that"

At first he was quiet,Amber thought her statement had worked however she saw a dangerous smirk playing on his lips.

He shoved her to the other side and began walking through.

"No,please.... please..don't go there!" she shouted as her hands kept still in the air.

If it were someone else, she'd have grabbed the shirt and pulled him back but how could she do that to the Mafia?

Besides,the black tuxedo suit didn't seem like what her money can afford.More still,she didn't want her family to be on the Mafia's black list.

Above all these,she feared for her dear friend and...the pregnancy drugs..

He pushed the door open and was instantly met with Aurora's peaceful sleeping face.

A calm and warm feeling washed through his corrupted heart, erasing every torment that dwelt there.

At last, he's found his peace.

That moment,his eyes was on Aurora didn't even bother scanning the room.

However,Amber knew nothing about that.Her heart kept on palpitating.

She took a step before him into the room, blocking the drugs on the drawer side with her body.

Luca stepped in,he placed a hand on her forehead.

"Where did you take her to?" his sultry voice asked a trembling Amber

"I-" she couldn't immediately think of a lie however he didn't wait to listen..

"You were right there in front of a hospital yet you decided to go elsewhere" he scolded her and then turned back to Aurora.

He pulled the duvet off of her.His eyes widened in surprise.

Amber remembered that she'd changed Aurora's dress once they were back from the clinic.

She saw how the Mafia's burning gaze traveled down Aurora's exposed thighs.

"I..I had changed her dress" Amber explained

Without saying a word,he slipped his hand beneath Aurora and picked her up from the bed.

Just then something toppled to the floor.It caught his attention as he spinned back immediately.

Amber was smiling,however his gaze traveled down to the floor where some pills laid scattered around and the container slowly rolled out on the tiled floor.

Amber squeezed her fist as she scolded herself.While trying to place it in the drawer it slipped from her hand.

"Gosh!" she exclaimed within as she saw his eyes circle in on part of the container.

Few seconds later he walked out without saying anything.

Amber gathered the medicine and placed it in Aurora's bag,including her phone.

She zipped it closed and handed it over to him.

He nodded and crossed the door.

Once his vehicle sped off,Amber felt like she could breath properly again.

"Holy shit!" she facepalmed herself "That was close.."

She flopped on the chair.

"How is she coping?" she held her forehead "That dude is really scary!"

....

"Drive" his cold voice ordered.

Immediately the ride started he looked away and for the umpteenth time already.

He was really trying his best to hold back his ravenous urge from devouring her completely,yet she wasn't helping matters.

His adam's apple bulped up and down as he was unable to tear his gaze away from her thighs that were calling out to him.

He began imagining things..so wide did his imagination become that he grew hard right there in the car.

The driver turned the car sharply,the impact making Aurora's head land on his broad yet comfortable shoulders.

He gaze lowered to her face.

Her long lashes...her elegantly carved cheekbones..and there was the tiredness.It was bold on her face.

Come to think of it, he'd been noticing such pale and tired features on her face whenever he finds himself around her.

She doesn't do much work at home so why does she end up being so tired?

Could it be she walks so hard at the hospital?

"Get me my phone" he ordered as he placed Aurora's head properly on his shoulders.

Even the driver couldn't decipher what sometimes goes on in the head of his boss.

"I want to speak to Mr Russel" he said into the phone

"I'm sorry sir,it is late at night and we-"

"This is Don Genovese." he cut her off "If you don't want me appearing in your dreams,get your f#cking boss on this call"

"Y-yes,Don..I..I apologize for earlier!" she began to stutter "I will forward your call to him right away!"

Luca hanged on.

"Hello,Mr Russel speaking?"

"I know who I called, no need introducing yourself" he remained indifferent "I'm Aurora's husband."

He noted the moment he remembered the night he'd gone to the restaurant to get Aurora.This man and the other guy were glaringly into Aurora.

Perhaps the reason for his rudeness.

"I heard she works at your hospital?"

"Not really a hospital." he tried to explain "Just a building for practices-"

"That's enough" he roared into the phone "Don't feed me bullshits"

"I've observed my wife works tirelessly at the hospital"

"Is that so?" came Mr Russel

"I don't care if it's so" retorted Don Genovese "As from henceforth get her a personal assistant and she must not leave the hospital anything later than three" he stated

Mr Russel chuckled.

"Does that sound funny to you?" inquired the Mafia "When I break your damn jaws you won't find anything funny anymore"

"Why the unusual animosity,Don? Have I,in any way offended you?" there was an obvious sarcasm in his tone

Luca didn't need to answer,instead he said..

"One thing you should know... I'm a patient man." he played with the ends of Aurora's hair-one notable habit of his.

"But when I lose my patience...the devil shivers"

Mr Russel chuckled again.This time more loudly.

"Anyways,Don.Aurora is under my control." he said firmly "Under my company"

"In other words,I get to say what she'll do.So you can cut the act,you don't intimidate me" his voice became heavier and deep.

Luca clenched his jaw.

"We'll see.." were his final words.

As he was about to rest,something buzzed beside Aurora and then a ringtone played through.

At first he ignored it..trying to tell himself that he has no business with her privacy.

However,when the call persisted he was forced to go against his mindset.

His eyebrows furrowed when he saw the caller.

"2nd Devil"

    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

    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

    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
