Chapter 7

"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.
