Aurora jerked awake in the middle of the night. Her stomach squeezed in tightly that she could hardly breathe.She began to pant but quickly covered her mouth the moment she realized Luca was sleeping beside her.

His hand was around her waist, and his face looked so peaceful which was a stark contrast to his demeaning and dangerous aura when he is awake. Aurora couldn't help but stare at him quietly and her own pain seemed to disappear like thin air. She laid back down on the bed and propped herself up with her elbow. She continued to stare at him finding it so peaceful and funny too.

So he looked this way when he slept? She thought in her mind and a small smile climbed up her lips.At the same time, an idea occured to her.She picked up her phone lying on the drawer beside the bed. Because of how big the King-sized bed was she had to stretch to take it and her slight movement caused him to stir.He didn't wake up but his hand around her waist tightened as if to ensure she was beside him

    Luca Genovese rushed in like a mad dog, his bodyguards following from behind."Contact Doctor Smith. Tell him to get his ass down here immediately!" he shouted to one of the guards who sprang into action.Luca bursted through the doors of Mr Tate's ward. The man was struggling to breath while the nurses and doctors scurried about, following instructions and doing their best to revive the man. Eventually, he was calm but became hysterical again when he set eyes on Luca. He immediately called out to him and Luca walked to his side."Aurora." Mr Tate called with tears slipping down his cheeks "Aurora please.""Mr Tate, you need to be strong. She is counting on you." Luca tried to encourage the man but he shook his head."I..I have nothing more to live for.""You do." Luca replied "I've sent for the best doctor, please hang on" Luca turned to leave but Mr Tate grabbed his hand, stopping him from leaving."You..you have tried for me, Don." his eyes shimmered with tears "I know how much yo

    Leo dashed out of the ICU almost bumping into Luca."Luca," he shook his head, a hint of worry in his tone "The doctors say he's far too gone."Just as Luca was about to reply, the ICU doors pushed open and a team of doctors arrived. Luca and Leo hurried towards them."Mr Genovese," one of them spoke, a forlorn look on his face "I'm sorry.""What the hell do you mean by that!" Luca shouted"We have done all we could, but he's not coming through." the doctor turned down his gaze "He has only few minutes to live, Mr Genovese. I'm sorry."Luca watched in silence as they turned and walked away. He shut his eyes as the pain coursed through him. Yes, he'd done bad things and maybe he is part of the reasons Mr Tate would lose his life today. Luca never envisioned this. He'd spent millions of dollars, gone as far as bringing the best doctors from overseas however the man's health was not getting any better. He felt guilty."Have the driver get Aurora down here," he said to Leo "Immediately an

    It was night when Aurora awoke. Andrea who was resting by the side of the bed was elated to see her awake. She thought carefully before opening her mouth to speak."Aurora," she whispered as she stared down at her "Are you okay?" she asked however Aurora said nothing. She continued to stare at the ceilings while bold tears fell from the corner of her eyes.Andrea felt heartbroken to see Aurora in such state and sadly when both her and Luca were already trying to work things out."Aurora, I'm sorry for..for your loss." Andrea wiped the tears on her face "And I want you to know t-that it's not Luca's fault. Luca really did everything humanly possible to help him."Andrea waited for her response but saw that she wasn't going to speak. Her gaze was still fixed on the ceilings while tears continued to pour from her eyes."Please stop crying, for the sake of your kids." Andrea said but that didn't change a thing. She got up and was about to leave when she saw Leo standing by the door.She w

    Leo and Andrea alighted from the car. The rain was pouring heavily and it thundered loudly in the distance. Tightening her coat over her body, she gazed at the sky while waiting for Leo to join her."I hope he finds her," she sighed "It's so cold." and then she turned to Leo, wondering why he wasn't beside her yet. He was on his phone and as he typed into it he had a serious expression on his face. Andrea had noticed this since they were at the hospital but she attributed it to his busy schedule and didn't bother to ask.Leo lifted his head and caught her staring. He looked surprised because he thought she must have gone in."Hey, it's cold. Why are you still standing here?""Is something wrong, Leo?" Andrea decided to ask him "You've been on the phone even while you were driving.""It's.. it's work related and I'm afraid I'll have to be there in the next few minutes.""But Leo, it's raining heavily. The roads are not safe and you just got back!""Listen, I know but it will be fine."

    "Aurora," he cupped her face in his hands "Let me fix this. I promise I'll change. I'll do anything to keep you with me. I..I don't want to lose you."Hearing all of these caused adrenaline to surge through Aurora's nerves. She was happy yet sad. While she wanted to jump into his arms she couldn't. Anytime she opened her mouth to tell him about the pregnancy, nothing seemed to come through. "Aurora??" he called when he noticed how reluctant she looked."Luca," she began while stepping out of his grip. She downcasted her eyes "I'm glad things would begin to work well now and it's great too that we've cleared up the misunderstandings but,"She let out a sigh before saying, "I can't continue this relationship.""Aurora, what are you saying? Why??" he was losing his cool again and the torment began to mock him in his mind. His arms were all over her as he spoke "Do you not feel the same way for me? Are you saying you don't love me?"She hesitated and then spoke, "I'm in love with someone

    "Look who's here," Sandra got up on her feet and entwined her hands with Leo's "Honey, you didn't tell me you brought someone along."Andrea's eyes fell on the woman's protruded belly, the drinks on the table and the pizza that was half eaten. On the mahogany wall was the large projector that had the image of Sandra in Leo's arms displayed on it. They were both smiling happily and Andrea had to admit that she had never seen Leo that happy ever since they got married. She felt like the other woman who'd come between Leo and his happiness. Even though she knew that someday Leo would leave her due to the fact that she cannot conceive she still felt hurt and betrayed."Andrea," Leo stepped out of Sandra's arms "W-what..what are you doing here? It's raining heavily and you're freezing." he then pulled off his jacket and attempted to place it over her but she stepped away.She couldn't even look him in the eye."Andrea please let me explain," he dumped the suit jacket on the couch "This isn

    "How dare you think of showing your face here," Mrs Russell thundered "Your husband almost killed my son!"Aurora stood dumbfounded. "I'm really sorry, it's just I..I didn't think that it would amount to that.""Shove your sorry down your throat!" she hissed as she fished out an envelope from her bag "Get out of my building. I never want to see your face here ever again"As she was about to leave, she stopped and said,"You're so lucky that nothing worse happened to my son, you wouldn't be breathing as we speak." with that she strode out with two of her bodyguards.Needless to say, inside the envelope was a sack letter and although Aurora did not expect this she quietly bottled it up.Amber came to her that instant,"I'm so sorry, Aurora.""What are you apologizing for? It's not your fault.""I'm just expressing my sadness," Amber explained "Don't be sad, take me to Ethan" Aurora asked and on the way to Ethan's ward Amber stared at her friend."Why do you keep staring at me?

    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
