"Let go off me!" Aurora tried to step out of his grip but he was strong and he was hurting her on purpose.
"Does it feel so painful to be married to me??" he spoke with narrowed eyes "Well guess what? This is only the beginning of your suffering!" he declared.After saying his piece,he dragged her wrist and began to pull her out of the hospital."What is wrong with you?! Let go! Where are you taking me?!" she tried to stop herself but the tiles helped her move even faster than the pace at which he was pulling her.He pushed her into the car and shut the door.Entering through the other side,the driver started the car.Aurora shot him a deadly look."It's not a must for husband and wife to stay together.You don't have to act kind towards to me!""Kind??" he chuckled "And who said we're living together?"Aurora was confused.He tilted his head,his grey eyes locking hers.I'm taking you to the house to face your punishment" he explained "Did you really think my family will let you go after what you've done??"His soft chuckled made Aurora more annoyed."After that," he turned his face away "You can sleep in the dog's cage"...Slap!Slap!Slap!Mrs Genovese grabbed her chin."If my son hadn't married you I'd have shot you dead right now!" she blurted out"You can still do that, please" retorted Aurora "It's not heavenly to be married to your-"Slap!"Don't talk back at me!" she replied furiously "In this family we have rules and if you want your miserable life to be peaceful you better bow to me!"Luca sat there,a cigarette in his hand.Leo and his wife Andrea stood together somewhere in the corner of the vast room.Other members of the family who were yet to devour the rest of the food that was meant for the guests of the wedding,watched the drama unfolding."Didn't you hear?!" Mrs Genovese went mad with rage as she raised her hand to land yet another slap on her face but was stopped by her second son."That's enough mother"Luca raised his head."She has.... had enough" he could tell by her slurry movements.Mrs Genovese snapped out of his hold."Are you in your right senses, Leo?! This woman made our family the talk of this disgusting town and all you want me to do is stop?!""Come with me,mother!" he pulled her."No,Leo! I don't want to hear a thing this time" her voice trailed off as she followed her son up the stairs.One of the men at the dinner table walked up to Aurora and pushed her slightly.He smirked "It's not like you're one kind of a hot babe." he said before brushing her side and walking past her.Another of them came up beside her,smacking her butt shamelessly.Aurora shut her eyes.The man looked at her from head to toe."Definitely not Luca's type" he hissed."So why did you decide to hurt us this way?" the most matured of them asked "Couldn't you have asked for a quiet wedding so the shame would be less?"Aurora said nothing.She felt her phone buzz in her side pocket.As she was about to reach out for it,the biggest of the men grabbed her arm and pushed her unto the wall where he pinned her hands above her head.The foul stench of alcohol making Aurora feel nauseous.She held her breath.She definitely wouldn't give out her secret of being pregnant.The bulgy man lowered himself to her neck,his hot breath fanning her neck.Aurora understood,at a later point,what this man was about to do.She instinctively nudged him in the groin,causing him to bend and growl like a howling wolf.Luca Genovese watched in silence.Saying nothing and keeping quiet.The rest of the members booed at the big man and Aurora didn't expect it when he got up and pushed her hard against the wall.Her impact against the wall was a great one,sending sharp,long pains through her spine and simultaneously making the child uncomfortable.Aurora didn't know when she held her stomach and yelled.Luca immediately got up on his feet at the sound of her tiny voice.All eyes rested on her.Andrea ran to help her up.Aurora avoided the impertinent stares at her and she tried not to make it obvious even when the pain below her abdomen was hurting so much.The men bursted out laughing after the short silence.However it was not so for Luca Genovese.The way he was staring at her told her that he was suspicious."Looks like the Don got a weak chic for himself" one of them joked.Leo came down the stairs.He had successfully distracted his mother.He saw that his wife was holding on to Aurora.He nodded as he came down the last of the stairs."Show her to her room,Andrea" "No." Luca stopped them "Take her to the dog's cage"Leo's mouth dropped opened,even Andrea was surprised.And to think he was humiliating her in front of his friends.Although,Aurora didn't mind.She really wouldn't feel comfortable staying in a place where everyone hated her.Say except for the beautiful lady who helped her up and the man who seemed to be supporting her all the time."The dog cage??" Leo sa
Aurora gritted her teeth.Luca didn't waste anymore time staring at her,he walked past her his shoulders brushing hers.The bodyguards went after him.Andrea got up from her seat and pulled her to the dinner table.Mrs Genovese's cutleries clanked on her ceramic plate followed by her loud and long hiss,after which she stormed off the house.Aurora wondered why these two were unexpectedly kind to her.As she began eating,she stopped at a point."Not being ungrateful,but I have to know why you're both kind towards me" she broke the silence.Andrea raised her head,"What would we gain by acting wicked towards you?" she answered.Aurora studied her."I disgraced your brother-in-law." she returned"Being kind to you doesn't mean we justify what you did" answered Leo "We're just doing what is right"He wiped his lips and got up from his seat.After planting a soft kiss on Andrea's forehead he grabbed his suit jacket and left the house.Again,Aurora missed Matteo.Everything she was seeing bet
"I heard you're now married to the Mafia" this was the sixth time a classmate was coming into her office to discuss this.The hospital was owned by the high school she attended,and most of the medical student had access to it on some occasions.As for her, she'd received a favour from the principal of the school to work as a nurse in the hospital.It was way into noon and none of her classmate had seized to ridicule her.As I've said before,this is the sixth one.Aurora dropped her notepad and stared up at Ethan."Yes" she answered honestly "Do you have a problem with that?"He bit his lips as he rested on her table. "It's just too bad..." he hissed "How would we have our usual fun, huh?"Aurora sighed"If you're out to annoy me,quit it" she replied "You know as well as I do,that we had nothing together""We did." he grinned "How could you forget how I slapped your juicy ass as you rode on my huge cock?"Aurora stopped writing and dropped her pen,a frown on her face.Something occured
"The wife I recognize,died two years ago." he replied non chalantly "I don't know the wife you're talking about""The wife you just married yesterday." she reminded "The wife you had ordered to be put in the cage""She's not my wife" came his gentle reply."What?""To the whole world,she is." he muttered "But to me, she's no less than a street dog who just happened to stray.""Luca!" "I hope you've not forgotten who you are speaking to and whose room you're standing in" he reminded "Being my sister-in-law is not a saving grace""What you are doing is wrong." she stated "If you intended all along to hurt her why did you in fact marry her?!""I had ordered the priest to conduct a fake wedding,just so mother could leave me alone" he began "However,she decided not to show up which pissed me off""Behind the scenes I rejected her privately;but she chose to do hers publicly"He sipped his wine "How else would I punish her if not making her do what she hates?""Luca.. you're a Don..a highly
Yes she did.In fact,back to the party.She would deal with Eddy later."For a while I thought you had somehow given in to your new husband's demands,eh?" taunted Ethan."Step aside and let me pass" ordered Aurora "I have no time for this"He pulled her arm back."Let go!" she snapped."You look really beautiful" he commented,ignoring the killing stare she was giving him.While she was doing that,he shamelessly ogled at every inch of her body."Wow!" he exclaimed hilariously "Did the Don really let you get out with this?"Aurora snatched her arm away and then sighed."Can you please not mention him?" she looked serious "I'm begging you for the first time,Ethan"He smirked."On one condition"She cocked her brows."Be my girl tonight"She sighed."C'mon Aurora.." he pressured the moment he saw her hesitate "I promise not to exercise my boundaries.It's just for tonight, alright?"She slowly gave in and nodded reluctantly.He placed her hand over his elbow and they walked into the restau
Aurora couldn't understand the crime she'd committed.Why does he hate her so much?!He began to drag her through the floor."If it's.. it's because I ran away on the wedding day.." she screamed at the top of her voice "I'm sorry!""Please..please..let me go now..stop it.. you're hurting me!!"How would she tell him that she is pregnant and he shouldn't handle her roughly? The wine Claire had spilled on her made her feel nauseated.He pulled her into the house.Because of her loud screams the family came rushing down the stairs.It was already late at night so they were curious to figure out the reason for this.He passed by Andrea and Mrs Genovese without the slightest shame on his face.Leo stopped him on the stairs."Luca don't-""Get out of the way, Leo" he warned,his voice erratic.Aurora was a pitiable sight with her white dress stained and her white face full of tears.She looked pale."It's only right to discipline a woman like her.." Luca justified "She cannot have her way all t
He stared at her,his face blank.However,Aurora did not regret anything she said because to her that is the truth.On contract, they are husband and wife but it meant nothing to any of them."If..if you didn't force me to sign the contract none of this would happen" she cried The Don got up from his feet.Saying nothing,he turned and left the room.He didn't forget to lock it from behind.Andrea was in front of the door,however he didn't even spare her a glance before walking away.Andrea didn't know what to do.She followed after him but he slammed his door in front of her face.Aurora was growing weak every minute that passed.Her body throbbed in pain and considering the cold air from the AC she shivered in her white dress.She could barely move or struggle to free herself because of the child in her belly.The rope on it felt so uncomfortable that it made her cry rather than scream for help.As the seconds and minutes passed by,she began to wonder if he planned on keeping her here
Her eyes unlatchedHer lids flickered,the first thing she felt was a sharp pain at the down part of her abdomen.It made her fully awake.She sat up on the bed,a slight hiss escaped her lips."How are you feeling?"Her head snapped to the left side of the room.It was Leo,he had a glass of wine on his hand and he was looking at her suspiciously.Aurora didn't answer.She rather threw the duvet off of her and attempted to get up from the bed.He placed the wine glass on the glass table,slipped his hands into his pocket and went over to her.She stared at him,her gaze unwavering."Don't push through with your stubbornness,Aurora" he spoke lowly "I don't agree to my brother's ways and yet I don't also approve of yours""There's only one way to get this over and done with." Aurora replied "A divorce""You don't expect me to bow down to your brother's selfish rules and regulations because,in the first place I never asked to be married to him!""Now is not the time to lament" he brushed her p
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
