2022-08-05 09:00:07“I think its best that we not speak about this. I mean, you know what they say? The walls have ears and the last thing we want is someone overhearing our conversation and knowing that indeed you were the murderer of that day in the bush” Ricardo advised Leonardo.
“You are right, I shouldn't be speaking about this. I should be positive and not allow negative energies to ruin my wedding” Leonardo had made that decision for himself. Turning his attention back at the mirror and smiling at himself, knowing inwardly that he will do whatever it takes to keep his wife and his unborn child away from any other danger that was looming ahead.“Yes you should not be speaking like that, I mean we wouldn't want something to go wrong wouldn't we?” Ricardo told his friend in a smooth voice.&nb

“Mr. Leonardo, is this you?” Leonardo heard a familiar voice, he turned around and his eyes glow brighter. He knew this face from somewhere and now that he thought about it for a few seconds or more, he realized just who it was.“Do you remember me?” The older man asked him, with a bright smile on his face as though he had seen another son of his.With all the happiness within him, Leonardo stood up from his seat and hugged the older man. Leonardo hugged him, not just because he knew him from when he was younger but mainly because Leonardo felt as though he needed some sort of family closure.“Of course I remember you, you were our driver back in Sicily” Leonardo pointed out, unable to contain his excitement upon seeing the old man.Letting go of the old man, Leonardo looked into his face and he was much older than he remembered. Leonardo remembered a time where he would have this man drive him wherever he w

“Why did you do that? Aren’t you happy?” He asked her as Leonardo was confused about her actions.“Are you kidding me? We are about to get married in two days’ time and you are here renting out the entire restaurant, do you know how much that will cost? We could have literally stayed at home, eaten our own food instead of coming here and spending a fortune on food that will be enough to feel entire village” She continued yelling at him and all Leonardo could do was watch lovingly as such a small figured woman could be as feisty as she was. Without any warning, Leonardo covered her mouth with his with his mouth, hoping that it was enough to keep her quiet for now.Placing his hands around her hips and kissing her passionately and just as quick as he had kissed her, Leonardo had ended the kiss, looking into his wife's eyes as she stood in front of him silently.“I didn't think that this would do the work but it see

Aurora looked at herself in the mirror of the Old church down town, Leonardo had once again rented out an entire church just for them.She smiled thinking how romantic her husband was, always making sure to make her happy. Her only fear was that, Ricardo was Leonardo’s best man. Signora Meta had kept to her word, the poor woman had done nothing other than to find a way to keep Ricardo’s mouth shut. Aurora had no idea what Signora had told Ricardo but all Aurora knew was that Ricardo refused to look at her ever since then.Looking at herself in the mirror, she smiled. Finally she was a true bride and not a replacement. She had no idea where Avena was but she inwardly thanked her for running away that faithful day.

“Calm down young man, if you keep shaking like that you might drill a hole through the Church floor” The priest cracked a light earning him a laugh out of Leonardo.As excited as Leonardo was, he could not help but feel a storm brewing and it was one that he could not explain. He knew it because he felt it in the core of his stomach, something is definitely wrong. Leonardo scanned the interior of the church and there was no sign of the blackmailer inside.The pianists began playing, ‘here comes the bride’ and the butterflies in Leonardo's stomach began flying around. Leonardo was truly nervous as he watched his wife walk down the aisle in a white dress and veil covering her face, with Signora next to her. He could not help but to think that his wife did not look happy, it had looked as though something was wrong with both women but he shrugged it off.

“From a Distance you look like such a sweet and innocent lady but just like your little girl, you are full of secrets” Ricardo told Signora Meta not holding in any venom in his tone of voice.“You are such an evil man”“At least I do not hide that I am a villain, unlike you and your daughter who hide behind smiles. What do they call it? I forgot the words, oh I think it's called ‘Wolf in sheep's clothing” Ricardo ridiculed Signora Meta whom was not fazed by Ricardo’s words.“When you think about it, it is actually you who is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I mean you have proven yourself to be an impressive liar” She reminded him.“When have I ever lied about who I was?”“Well, you are you walking around pretending to be Leonardo's friend but actually wanting to take his wife from him, Is that not what you would consider a wolf in sheep's clothing?

“How did this happen? How was there a switch between the woman I was supposed to marry and the woman that I married to now? I think its best that you start explaining to me because you will not like it when I get angry” Leonardo threatened them. Everyone who sat in the room looked uncomfortable, until one brave soul stood up and it was AvenaIt was the first time that Leonardo had seen her since he had left the altar and now as he looked at her, Leonardo noticed that she was quite a pretty young woman but nothing like his wife. Both women were beautiful with dark-ski but Avena’s beauty was still no match to that of his wife.Avena looked frail and scared of him, looking down at her feet and playing with her hands rather than looking up at him, until she finally looked at him with tears welled in her eyes.“Hello my name is Avena, I know that you do not know me quite well and that was mainly because Avena took my place the altar.

One day later“I should have known that sooner or later you would betray me” Rhea told Avena, who stood in the center of her living room. For months Avena had refused to let Rhea in on the big secret and if it were not for Ricardo telling her the secret, she would never have known anything.The more she spoke, it felt as though nothing she said had gotten through to Avena who had her hands crossed over her chest and was smiling. An action which only infuriated Rhea more. Looking at Avena, Rhea felt as though she wanted to strangle Avena. After all, Rhea had lost her one chance of having Leonardo to herself. She had thought that by working with Avena, she would get Leonardo but only for her to lose him in the end of it all.“Rhea why are you so upset? I thought you said that you wanted to break up Leonardo and Aurora’s marriage? They are over now, so why are you upset?”“Because I wanted Leonardo t

“No! This cannot be true, I am the sole owner of all the Russo properties and I will not share it with anyone” Avena yelled, running down the stage with the intent of attacking Aurora but only for Leonardo to trip her into falling on the ground.Within seconds, the church was swarmed with police officers, the main officer walked towards Avena lifting her up from the floor and cuffing her.“Why are you cuffing me, what have I done?”“Avena Russo, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of Rhea, please be quiet as anything you say shall be used against you in the court of law” The officer told her. Before they knew it, Avena was being dragged away kicking, screaming and her mother following right behind her, asking the officers to leave her daughter alone.On the other hand, Ricardo was being arrested for the murder of Aurora’s mother committed twenty one years ago.

“Oh sorry to disturb this wedding but we have urgent matters that need attending to. We are looking for Carina and Metteo Romano” One of the men in the suite asked, his question leaving everyone to stare at Leonardo’s parents.“Yes it is us” his mother responded, pointing at herself and her husband.“I've just come to inform you that the document that was signed for the land has been rejected”“Why has it been rejected?” Signora Carina asked, stunned by what the man in the suite was saying.“Unfortunately only the true heir of the Russo family is allowed to sign on these papers”“What do you mean the papers have been rejected? I am the only heir to the Russo fortune and I personally signed those papers not so long ago” Avena stepped forward as everyone stared at her questionably.“Yes you did but unfortunately you are not the heir” E

Over the past few days Avena had tried to get closer to him but he had not given her the opportunity to because even though Aurora was gone from his life, Leonardo did not want to move on so quickly. The only reason he was at his own wedding was because he wanted to make his parents happy.Standing on the podium, he looked at the crowd and there was not many people around but his parents and his soon-to-be wife's parents.Leonardo looked at his mother's face and she was smiling at him, yet Leonardo himself could not force himself to even smile. Today was indeed an unpleasant day for him, as he will be marrying a woman that he did not have any feeling for. This marriage had begun just as his first marriage with Aurora had begun but he had no doubt that this match would definitely be disaster and he was sure of it.Over the last few days he could not help but compare his wife Aurora to Avena.
