She barely had breakfast the next morning.Her mind remained unsettled because all she wanted was to talk to Matteo.

She was glad by the time they were about to leave.They sat at the back seat while the driver drove.

Aurora was so lost in thought that she didn't see Luca staring at her the whole time.

She just wanted them to get home quick and she hoped Luca would go to the office so she can do what it is she has set to do.

However,amidst all these thoughts the car pulled up in front of an exquisite store.

Aurora looked confused when the driver came to open the car door for her.

She glanced at Luca who was already walking into the building.

What should she do?

Without thinking much,she followed him inside where they sat on a comfy couch.

The interior decorations were breathtaking but not enough to take Aurora's mind off Matteo's betrayal.

An attendant welcomed them,while giving Luca a couple of samples in coloured boxes.

Aurora wondered what Luca was up to.

"Show her some samples and le

    Luca Genovese sipped his wine, ignoring the drools and winks coming from the women at the gala organized by some of his business associate.Seated at the table was men and women of high calibre and also Leo and his wife,Andrea who regretted coming along the moment she set her eyes on Sandra-the woman her husband cheated with a year ago.Even though her husband didn't spare Sandra a glance,she still didn't feel comfortable.Meanwhile,news had gone round Riverdale that the Mafia purchased a two million dollar ring for his runaway bride.After much discussions on business matters that failed to get Luca's attention,Sally summoned courage and said,"Why isn't your wife here with you,Don Genovese? I see Andrea here with us.Did she refuse to come?"Luca's gaze finally landed on her as was her intention.She fixed her dress so that her cleavage could be seen crystal clear."This is not the kind of thing I'll bring my wife to." he answered"What kind of thing would you bring her to?" one of th

    Mrs Genovese stopped Luca by the door the moment he walked in.He pulled off his suit jacket and threw it on the couch lazily then stared back at his mother."You bought a ring for that slut??" she bellowed "Has she won your heart too with that seductive body of hers,Luca?!""Move away,mom" he grunted "I'm too tired to have this convo""No," she blocked his path "I want you to explain to me why you'd spend so much for just a ring!""She's my wife.Isn't she supposed to have a wedding ring on her finger?" he asked calmly,although it was a blatant lie."Don't feed me that, Luca" returned Mrs Genovese "I know you too well and there's no way you can do that especially when she caused so much embarrassment and humiliation by ditching you on the wedding day""I placed a tracker in the ring." he admitted "Happy now?" He walked past a flabbergasted Mrs Genovese and up the stairs.It was now she began to understand the logic.Luca checked his watch.Ten on the dot.He pulled off and took a quic

    "I'm getting fed up of waiting,Matteo!" the lady complained "Just throw the water on her face,feed her the damn medicine and let's get this over and done with!""Fine,fine...I figured you might want to take things slow" answered Matteo who grabbed the jar of water."I have other things to do and-" her phone rang just then.She immediately picked it and grimaced before ending the call."Ugh,I gotta go!" she took her handbag from the drawer table "Make sure she bleeds those foetuses off, Matteo!!" she said with an angry look before banging the door.He heaved a sigh before locking the door behind.He was glad she received that call because he had other agenda on his mind.He went over to where Aurora was tied up in a chair.Drops of blood seeping from the wound on her head.He caressed her face."I feel sad things have to go this way for you,Aurora." he began "You've got everything a man wants.. you're a great woman and the only sin you've committed is refusing to silently get these things

    Silence.It was held for a minute with none willing to speak first until Aurora's unintentional sob forced the Mafia to speak."Are you okay?" his deep and enchanting voice startled Matteo.He immediately ended the call and switched the phone off."Your husband seems to care for you a lot," began Matteo "But don't be fooled by such act my dear Aurora, because no man can ever love you truly.""You were built with good looks and a seductive figure which, apparently makes men crazy for you.The priority is just to get you on their bed Aurora,the Mafia is not an exception.""Everyone is surprised he bought you an expensive ring,but who knows why?"Ignoring her pleas and tears,he got up and took the medicines from the shelf.Ticking it with his fingers,he made his way back to her.Suddenly,he stopped."Tell you what?" he grinned "I just had an idea!"He circled round her and leaned close to her ear, tucking her wet hair behind it he spoke,"Since this is gonna be the last time there'd ever b

    He lifted his eyes,his dark,deep orbs staring deep into hers,daring her to speak.Aurora rather kept quiet.She didn't want to give away anything.He enjoyed every bit of it as it was more than obvious the torture he was putting her through.Somehow,her body and the innocence in her eyes cooled down his rising temper and all he wanted to do was enjoy the moment.Instead of quickly,he made sure to go very slowly in buttoning up the coat.His fingers now intentionally brushing her skin.For the first time in her entire life, Aurora Genovese couldn't retaliate as much as she wanted to.She was scared.Scared that he'd question her.Of course,she knew he would at some point in time but at least not at that moment.Right now, her mind was blank and her head was hurting really bad-an awful state to tell a white lie.At last,he finished and Aurora was quick to walk towards the door hoping he'd follow but at that moment his eyes fell on her phone on the floor.He walked over to pick it up.The scree

    He took a long,naughty look at her body before walking out of the room.The cold air suddenly disappeared and Aurora could breathe properly.When he'd showed up and rescued her a bit of the hatred for him burnt down,however after this short conversation and the naughty stare at her,Aurora decided she'd never hated him more.She walked out of the room and into his car,not saying a word.Her mind was full of the scene she met in Matteo's house.Who was that lady? She'd never met her before and she certainly doesn't work in Starlight hospital.Who is she?She racked her brain for some seconds.Perhaps she'd seen that face anywhere?? In social gatherings she attended when her parents were influential people?But no.Nothing came into mind.Riverdale is such a small state and she'd been almost around the whole place but she'd never seen that face.How's that possible?!The ache in her head stopped her from thinking further,what was most important was the fact that Matteo and that lady were a

    "I'm not kidding Luca," threatened Aurora "I will drive this knife into my neck if you don't let me through!""Aurora," he spoke gently despite the fire burning inside of him "Drop the knife and let's go home""I don't want to go anywhere with you," she cried "I just want to be alone.""Aurora-""Tell the doctors to move out of the way..." she pierced the knife deeper and gritted her teeth from the effect of the pain."Everyone leave!" Luca's thunderous voice was enough to send them out of the room.Steadily and with a close watchful eyes on him,Aurora walked towards the door,the knife still pressed on her neck.She knew she'd pressed his buttons but there was nothing she could do.She'd do anything to keep her pregnancy a secret from this dangerous man.When she was sure of the distance between them,she took to her heels trying to find her way out of the hospital.She was surprised yet grateful none of the doctors and nurses tried to stop her.She overcame her fear and looked back to ch

    The previous incident came rushing into her mind the moment her eyes flew open."Hi!" Andrea jumped up from the couch the moment she saw Aurora awake. "How do you feel?"Rather than reply, Aurora's eyes wandered around the room she was in.It was beautifully decorated,scented nicely in contrast to a hospital room.Andrea understood.She sighed softly."Leo was here," she began to explain "He managed to calm Luca down and had you brought to the VIP ward."Aurora still said nothing."Aurora," she held her hand,surprised Aurora's gaze flew towards her "I..I know our relationship as sister in laws isn't as close as it should be but I would always be available to help you whenever.""The only help I need is to get a divorce from Luca Genovese," she turned her gaze back to Andrea "Can you help me?"Andrea went silent for a minute"Exactly what I expected," Aurora said.After a pause she added, "You should go back home,Mrs Genovese might need you""She doesn't." came Andrea's response "She hate

    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

    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
