Since the crash happened few miles away from the hospital, it was only usual that the attention of the nurses and doctors were called for at the sight.

Andrea had just stepped out of the hospital's cafeteria with a frown on her face. Since she became pregnant, her hunger increased and she craved things she usually didn't eat. Now she wanted a fruit salad, but they didn't have it. However, her hunger was forgotten temporarily when she jammed a team of nurses and doctors running outside with stretchers and first aid boxes.

There was commotion everywhere and she could see reporters struggling to enter the hospital. She wondered why reporters would be here? Did they already find out that Aurora is here?? She began to run towards the hospital's exit to find out the situation but didn't expect that her husband would be rolled in badly injured, bleeding profusely and unconscious on a stretcher.

She screamed unexpectedly and all attention was turned to her. She was easily recognized as the w

    Surprise clouded her vision. Luca stepped forward, still holding the report.He said, "When did you find out? And why didn't you tell Leo about it? Andrea, how could you even stay with that devil knowing that you're pregnant? Hasn't this always been your dream?""I only found out today and it's better if Leo doesn't find out as well. He has a wedding to plan and-""Stop being illusional." Luca's tone was flat "Leo was in a tight spot. He never meant to hurt you. He had to make a tough choice and while you're here thinking he chose Sandra over you, he actually chose his child.""Why do y'all keep saying he never meant to hurt me?" Andrea chuckled sadly "Fact is he did! He damn well knew he was married to me before he fucking laid her! He fucking laid her and I wasn't suppose to know about it until the truth got exposed!" she teared up "How do you expect me to believe all these words that are only meant to make me feel better?""And he wouldn't have had to choose the child and break us

    Her lips parted and a sad sigh escaped from them. She didn't know Luca would be there, perhaps he was the one who ordered the doctors to harm her children.With this thought in mind, she flared up and began to scream for him to let her go but his grip on her was tight yet gentle. "Aurora, listen to me.""I said to let go, Luca! I don't want to hear anything" she screamed "I already know what you would say and I don't want to stand here and listen to them. Please let me go!"I didn't come here to say anything or to hurt you. I just want you to listen to me. Listen to me!""Aurora, please calm down." Andrea spoke"No, I don't want to hear it. Luca let go, you're hurting me!" despite their pleas, Aurora was still going berserk.Just then, the doctor came from behind Luca. With a straight face, he expressed great disappointment."This is a hospital, Mr Genovese!" he huffed"Accept our apologies, sir." Andrea quickly apologized but the doctor seemed to have a motive. He picked up a sedati

    Leo turned and found Luca behind him."How's Aurora?" he asked, ignoring Luca's previous question."Not good, she wants to be alone." Luca explained, ducking his head and catching sight of Andrea."Luca, I need to talk to you." Leo pulled him away from the cafeteria. "About the accident?" Luca said "Alex tampered with the brake. I got a news from my hitman, he said that Alex is brewing a chemical. I've given him the job of finding what chemical and possibly what he wants to use it for."Leo nodded, although that wasn't what he wanted to talk about. He stared at Luca,"Do you notice something different in Andrea?"Luca froze on the spot. He seemed to have forgotten that Andrea is pregnant. With Leo's question, the pregnancy reports jumped back into his memory.Without waiting for Luca's reply, he added "She just munched two wraps of sandwiches. She ordered coffee as well. It's so unusual. I feel like she's put on more weight."Luca went quiet. Leo found it awkward and said."Did you h

    The entire Riverdale was going berserk and the doors of Pro-Care hospital was shut for the meantime due to the rage reporters and citizens were displaying.Before the day was over, half the Genovese family had already been hospitalized. Although the citizens demanded to know what exactly was going on, they blamed Aurora for the misfortunes.Leo was pacing in front of the theatre doors. His mother had called and broke the news of Sandra's fall from the top of the stairs and Sandra was immediately admitted into the hospital. Luca had not returned from wherever he went and Andrea stayed with Aurora in her room.It was pretty late and although Aurora was no longer throwing a tantrum, she was awkwardly quiet and just stared through space.Andrea took her hand in hers and caressed it softly."I know it's hard, Aurora and no amount of word will comfort you but please don't be so hard on yourself. Remember you've the other twin to take care of and make sure he's alright?"After a long silence

    In the early hours of the next morning, the doctor told the Genovese family that the baby couldn't be saved although Sandra was out of danger.Mrs Genovese couldn't believe her ears. She turned and pointed an accusing finger at Leo, telling him that if he'd been by her side and not Andrea's, the child wouldn't have lost its life."Actually, Mrs Genovese the reports showed excess intake of alcohol by the mother. Even if she didn't fall, it would be a miracle if the child survives on the day of birth. The alcohol had already caused enough damage, the liquor she had taken only exacerbated the situation."Bowing, he said "I'm sorry for your loss" and then turned to leave. Still, Mrs Genovese wasn't convinced. "I hope you're happy now?!" she yelled at Leo "You made the poor girl feel lonely and irrelevant. You'd pushed her into drinking heavily and if you'd been there you would have stopped her! But you weren't! Instead, you chose to stuck to the side of a barren and infertile woman and a

    Aurora was the first to see Sandra when she awoke. Aurora thought of going to inform Leo and the others but Sandra's warm hands on hers stopped her.She looked at the drained Sandra, her face pale and white as a piece of paper. Then a thin line of tear fell from the corner of her eyes and down to the pillow. Aurora wondered if she already knew that she lost her child. If so, how could she be so calm about it? Aurora remembered her own behavior vividly. She praised Sandra in her thoughts."I lost the child, didn't I?" she spoke and Aurora didn't know the best way to reply to that but her silence already gave Sandra her answer."I'm really sorry, Sandra." were the only words that could form out of Aurora's lips."Why are you sorry? It's entirely my fault." she drew in a deep breath "Although this pain would never go away, I'm glad it happened.""Sandra," Aurora thought she was going nuts and tried to stop her but she refused."It's the truth," she lifted her gaze and responded to Aurora

    Andrea stepped out of the bath minutes later with Leo to the inquisitive stare of the family."It's... it's not what you think." she tried to wave it off "I must have eaten something really bad."Mrs Genovese stared at her for a moment, not convinced."I-" Andrea was ready to put forth another lie but Luca stepped up this time."It's not true, mother" he said "Andrea is truly pregnant."The look on everyone's faces, Leo and Luca excluded, turned from inquisitiveness to shock and unbelief. Mrs Genovese bursted into a long shout. She walked towards Andrea."If that's true, why did you want to hide it?" she asked and when Andrea did not reply Mrs Genovese understood."I owe you an apology also," she admitted "I'm sincerely sorry for the vile things I said about you and for the things I did. Will you please forgive me, Andrea?"Andrea nodded slowly. In a moment, Sandra was also next to her. "Hey, congratulations." she said with an immense pain in her heart but with nothing against Andre

    When Aurora woke up it was already late in the evening. With sleepy eyes, she sat up on the bed and yawned. A thin smile crossed her lips when she remembered the passionate moment she shared with Luca.Eyes fully opened, she turned to stare at the man beside her but was shocked to find out that the bed was empty."Luca?" she whispered, her tone still slurry. She felt the space beside her and noticed how cold it was. It meant Luca must have climbed out of bed long ago. She got out of bed and forced her legs into the slippers on the floor and walked out of the room."Luca?" she called as she strolled through the passage and stopped when she heard low voices coming from the kitchen. She walked down the small stairs and stopped by the kitchen door when she heard,"You've got to protect her," Luca said "With your life, Leo." he said rather aggressively."But," Leo took in a deep breath "Aurora wouldn't like this.""You-""She's going to throw a fit, Luca." Leo explained "She's gonna blame

    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
