All Chapters of The Italian's Runaway Bride: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The car ride was smooth, her window slightly opened, allowing the cool wind to blow through. Even though his eyes was on the road, from his peripheral vision Leonardo could see that Aurora was smiling.Her curly hair even though tied back, blew as the wind caressed her. His emotional outburst had been unexpected and sitting having breakfast with his family and acting as though nothing was wrong had been eating him up.The drive was definitely what he needed and who better to go with him than his new wife. He turned into the corner, off the asphalt road and onto the gravel road.“The road’s a bit bumpy, don’t you think?” she asked him but Leonardo smiled, his attention still on the road ahead of him.“I promise you, it will all be worth the wait” he answered her and for the next ten minutes the pair drove in silence until they reached a rusted gate with the sign ‘keep out’ written on it. Leonardo walked out o

Do not tell him, he will just laugh at you. Her mind taunted her and just like that, doubt crept into her mind. She looked away from him and looked beyond the window and she looked beyond all that was happening.Leonardo could feel it in his guts that his question had upset Aurora but he knew that he had to push through. He needed to know more about the woman that he was destined to spend his entire life with, the sooner the better.Taking his hand, placing it beneath her chin, turning her face to face him in his eyes and his eyes glittered and so did hers.You look so beautiful. He complimented her but only mentally, the thought of telling her all these sweet words scared him. They were just strangers and the sooner he realized that, the better for the both of them.“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked him and for just a second, he was tempted to tell her how her beauty had trapped him in her web.“N

Aurora sneaked into the room with the hopes of not disturbing her mother in-law, who surprisingly was on the phone, chatting away.“Oh! I will call you later, my daughter is here with my medications” She ended the call. Aurora walked over to signora Carina’s bed and sat down, grabbing the glass of water on the bedside table and handing it over to her mother in-law.“Here you go” she handed the glass of water and medication to her mother in-law who took them, Aurora watched her mother in-law place the pill in her mouth, followed by gulping a glass of water and swallowing.Nothing made sense at that very moment, the woman in front of her although she had her many demons to fight, was not one that Aurora would consider a liar.You lied about your entire identity, no one would have considered you a lie. Her mind taunted her as she realized how deceiving the face could be.“Avena, is there anything wrong?&rdq

Still upset about last night’s event, Leonardo had chosen to sleep in the guest bedroom rather than in the very same bedroom as Aurora. The night had not been welcoming and warm to her, her eyes failed to shut and her heart heavy. She turned her head countless times to look in the direction of the couch were Leonardo always slept, seeing it empty felt disheartening.With every passing day, their relationship fractured and the communications between the two of them was almost non-existent. The streams of light made its way through the curtains and not even the sun shining could brighten her day, Leonardo was mad and so was she but she knew that they would have to get over their rift.Her door swung open and just like she had expected, Leonardo walked into the room and straight towards the bathroom and not once did he acknowledge her presence in the room.Their marriage being less than a traditional one had made matters difficult as it was and with their con

Avena!Avena! He had called out to her as he sat on the floor with her limp body, realizing that there was no way that Aurora would wake. Taking her into his arms, Leonardo placed her in the backseat of his car and drove home to the Romano mansion.On his way to his home, Leonardo dialed the family doctor’s number, inwardly hoping that the doctor would be there before he arrived with Aurora.  His hands wrapped tightly around his steering wheel, shivering as he stepped onto the accelerator. Looking at his rearview, Aurora did not move or look as though she was getting better.“Aurora you stubborn woman, look what you have done to yourself now” he spoke under his breath, wondering just how fast he could push his car to drive. He continued driving towards the mansion, just as he arrived, the huge black gates opened wide and he drove through.Luckily, for him, their family doctor had arrived before he had. Leon
