Aurora absentmindedly shut her room door behind her and flopped on the bed. Things were becoming tough day by day and she didn't know what to do.She only knew that when the truth eventually surfaces, she would have to leave the house and maybe Luca's life. She would be alone with absolutely no one.She thought of getting a job but it was already too late. Her pregnancy is slowly coming to light at three months and no one would employ a pregnant woman.What to do then? Return to Matteo? They're his kids anyway but Aurora ruled out this option. Perhaps she would have to seek a menial job anyway. Something to get her and her kids in good condition.Amidst these thoughts, she slept off but not for long. Still sleepy, she was startled awake when her door flung hard against the wall. The impact created a loud thud that made her sit up on the bed.She was surprised to find Luca in her room. She swiftly jumped out of the bed and continued to stare at him.Although she had been looking for a
The night was tough for all of them.For Luca because he blamed himself for everything and believed that Aurora was only getting back at him for the times he'd hurt her. Sitting by the side of his window, he drank to stupor.He wished that she had just forgiven him and let him show her how much he was sincere of his actions. "But it's fine," he mumbled incoherently.For Leo, he was in a confused and frustrated state. He began to wonder if his decision to let Andrea go and remain with Sandra was the right decision. He became even more frustrated when he got to a dead end. The dead end was a reminder that his unborn child is completely innocent of his mother's sins.Unable to stop thinking, he grabbed a bottle of Scotch and found solace in it.Sandra did not expect that things would backfire and cause her pain. All the years she'd known Leo, he'd never laid his hand on her say less of raising his voice on her. That aside, he rarely got mad at her. Her feelings were hurt by his choice o
Despite the acceleration of her heartbeat she still walked into the room. The stench of vomit and alcohol crept into her nostrils. "Luca?" she called but did not receive an answer. She placed the tray on drawer and looked around for him but he was nowhere there. Aurora stared at the bottles at the side of the bed. She didn't want to count but she was sure it was up to ten. Did he drink himself to stupor? She panicked as she opened the bathroom door and peeped in.Luca was bent over the basin, his muscular body seemed as if it would give way and fall any moment. She rushed back to the room and grabbed a glass of water and returned to the bathroom.She went in front of him and held his face."Here, have a drink." she pushed the glass of water to his mouth and he only had little before he spat out the rest. Breathing heavily and still rooted in the hangover, he knew who it was beside him. Even though she was trying to help, it only rekindled the anger he had downed with alcohol. Seeing
When Aurora became fully awake, she found Luca beside her. His arms were wrapped around her and her head rested on his broad shoulder. Again, she found herself staring at his handsome face. His well chiseled jawline and pointed nose.Shutting her eyes, she squeezed herself against his warmth and caressed his face, smiling as she did so.After several rounds, she was overwhelmed with fatigue and let Luca take her to the bath. She didn't know when she fell asleep but she was glad to wake up beside him and in his arms.But the happiness was shortlived the moment she realized that she'd be leaving today. Guilt welled up in her knowing that despite being pregnant for someone else, she still let Luca lie with her.She sighed and her hand dropped from his face to his chest."Luca," she whispered "I remember the day my parents told me I'd be getting married to a Mafia. A man with no regard for humans and someone I had no feelings for."She continued, "Then, I was in love with Matteo, my first
On getting to her room, she locked the door behind her and began to pack her things. It was past noon time and it wasn't until she finished packing did she realize that she had no where to go.Going back to her previous house was an easy way to be found. Since she had only little money left, she decided to sell the house and use the little amount for her kids before she could get a stable job.While she was deep in thoughts, her phone began to ring.Her gaze landed on the drawer table where her phone was left. She picked it up and saw that it was Amber. Gosh, could she have been calling since her phone had been in here? Aurora wondered before clicking the answer button."Oh goodness!" Amber shrieked on the other end "Aurora are you okay?! Why didn't you pick up your phone?? You scared me!"Aurora chuckled silently. Amber would have her head should she tell her that she was with Luca enjoying a sizzling romance while Amber was worried."I'm fine. I had to help Mrs Genovese over some th
Luca was in a pensive mood.Not because he now knows that Aurora had fallen pregnant for that scumbag, it wasn't even her fault. She was just as naive and innocent every new lover would be. The problem is that he had treated her badly and even hurt her while she was pregnant. To worsen the situation, he was at a loss for what to do. Due to this, he had come to his favorite bar house and was drinking massively.It was hard to continue and pretend everything's fine and even harder to walk away and just accept that Aurora isn't for him.He's heard of siblings getting unequal love. He doesn't want that to happen when he finally accepts another man's kids as his. What would happen to his own biological child? Since he's the head of their family, it would be ridiculous and downgrading should he take such a decision.On the other hand, how would he live without Aurora? Should he have found that earlier, he'd have let her go.As he downed the content of the bottle, he knew he was only foolin
Andrea became tied tongue."Well, answer me!""You're mistaken," Andrea looked away "It was a friend of mine and not Luca's wife."Alex chuckled as he took few steps further into the room."Andrea, you must think that I'm a fool. I want you to know that for everything I do, there's a reason. That includes your staying here! You dare lie to my face even when I heard those words loud and clear.""You're a loner with no one to love you and care for you. You cannot even have kids of your own. And you tell me a friend of yours? Do you even have friends?" his laughter mocked her."You're not any different from me." Andrea retorted and refused to give in to her meek nature. Alex slid his hands into his pocket and smirked down at her."I've accepted that long ago, Andrea. You're still hanging unto that little hope that someone loves you. And that's your weakness.""Leave my room, Alex." Andrea stiffened her gaze.Ignoring her glare he said, "I want to know every detail."Andrea remained mute
Rooted to the stairs, Leo feared the worst. Luca was in a disheveled state with his knuckles bleeding. None of them knew what must have happened. Perhaps he'd read the letter and beaten Matteo to death.Speaking of that, Leo noticed that coat was not on him.As for Luca, he had no time to wonder why they were both staring at him like a maniac so he gently walked up the stairs, in a bid to meet Aurora and tell her to get ready and place the kids in the orphanage. There was no way he would raise a man's children, especially that idiot's, he cursed in his head.About to walk past Leo,"Where's your coat, Luca?"Luca stopped and turned to him."Why are you suddenly asking me for my coat? How did you even know I wore a coat??""It's snowing heavily, I assumed-""I'm already pissed off, don't aggravate me further." Luca cut him off and left the two in fear. Sandra gazed at Leo."He doesn't seem to have known. What do you think?"However, Leo said "Something's wrong." "What?""Something's wr
