Speak Of The Devil Chapter 70
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? Did she

She did not waste a second staring at his face and he was too dumbstruck to say anything. He watched her leave and wondered what changed about her. He felt hurt at her choice of words and even he couldn't deny that in the course of his deceiving her, he grew feelings for her no matter how small.He wished that time had better timing for both of them, things would have surely taken another turn.Aurora returned to what used to be her office and stared at it for a minute after closing the door behind her. After dropping out from school, this became where she could hide her pain. A place where she would run to whenever the frustration became too much.Her eyes fell on the desk and then to the couch. The spots where Matteo and her made up countless times. Despite being deceived by him she agreed that the relationship was a rollercoaster of sizzling romance and hot passion. He just couldn't stand up for her when her father gave her off. But this isn't worth thinking now, she thought, Luca

"What?!" he got up on his feet in rage."Listen," Leo began "It's not what you think." However, Luca had circled around his desk and given him a resounding slap. He grabbed his collar."How could you do that? What about Andrea?! Are you crazy?!""Luca.. Luca" Leo tried to explain but Luca didn't let him speak. In rage, he punched him to the ground and nearly didn't stop."It wasn't recently!" Leo yelled out and Luca stopped and got off him. Leo helped himself up on his feet and wondered what had gotten into his brother.On the other hand, Luca had seen an outlet to empty his grieving heart. Aurora pushing him away didn't sit right with him."It's been seven months now, Luca." Leo said "It was the result of our making up...months ago. I..I didn't expect that she'd get pregnant."Luca asked only one thing, "Where's Andrea?""I..I don't know. It's what I came here to ask for help for. She left and has not returned.""How could she return?" Luca turned to his brother "You hurt her badly,

Mrs Genovese angrily took a step forward."Why are you here anyway? And what is all this?" she pointed at the boxes."These..these are my things from the office." Aurora explained "I won't be working there anymore.""Why not?? How would you pay back Luca's debt then? Or have you forgotten about that?""I and Luca had a little discussion, you don't need to worry Mrs Genovese.""I will not listen to anything! Your father owed more than a hundred thousand dollars. You must have bewitched my son and made him forget about your debt.""Mrs Genovese-" Aurora began however Sandra cut in."Is that important now?" she questioned "I'm still deadpan on my decision. If Leo doesn't sign those divorce papers I will kill this child here and now!""What?!" Aurora was aghast. The maids helped with the boxes and she couldn't believe what she just heard. She took the papers lying on the table and then shot Leo a look."You're divorcing Andrea??""That's not true-" Leo began to explain."What's it to you?

Andrea was woken up with water splashed all over her. Panting, she stared at her surroundings. Yes, she remembered that she collapsed in the rain but she didn't remember finding her way to where she is right now.The room wasn't large and there were two fierce looking men guarding the door. More than scared, Andrea thought that they must have kidnapped the wrong person."Hello, Andrea." someone was speaking from behind her. Since she was tied to a chair she couldn't see who it was but the voice was familiar.The person eventually came and stood in front of her.He smirked, "Remember me?""A-alex." she called "What..what are you doing here?? Aren't you supposed to be in jail?!""Seriously??" Alex grinned "Not even a hi or something?? You really did not miss me?""Don't play around with me. Why am I tied up? Let me go!"He picked up his gun and Andrea paused for a moment. The day before she had begged the universe to take her life but right now, she preferred to live. "Don't raise you

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
Speak Of The Devil Chapter 115
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
