All Chapters of Mrs Matteo Rocco : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

•BELLA’S POV•"You’re Fantasma," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I could feel the blood drain from my face as I stared at Austin, my mind racing to make sense of this. He tilted his head, an almost amused expression on his face. "I thought you were smarter than this, Bella.” He said with a smirk. “I even thought you’d be the first to find out given how sneaky you can be but lo and behold….it was easy to fool you guys as y’all are so obsessed with loyalty. Did you really think of me like Matteo’s loyal dog Bella? That I’ve been standing by all this time for nothing?" I opened my mouth to respond, but Alfredo cut in with a chuckle. "Oh, you should’ve seen your face when he walked in. Priceless. But don’t worry. Let me catch you up." Alfredo leaned casually against the doorframe, crossing his arms. "You see, Bella, Austin and I—we’ve been in this together for a while now. Aurora’s just the tip of the iceberg. Your dear brother Matteo has been playing into our hands

•MATTEO’S POV•I had prepared myself for many betrayals in my life, but nothing……absolutely nothing, could have readied me for this.Austin stood before me, his expression a perfect mix of defiance and something darker…..something twisted and for a split moment, he looked different. His words rang in my ears, cold and cutting.“I’m Phantasma, Matteo. How’s my surprise? Do you love it?” He asked smiling smugly.It felt as though the air had been sucked out of the room. My fists clenched at my sides as I stared at the man I had considered my closest friend. No……as family. The weight of his betrayal pressed against my chest, threatening to crush me.“You Austin?” I managed to choke out. “You’re the one behind all of this? Behind Aurora’s attack? The messages? The chaos?”Austin’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “Yes. And I’d do it all again.”I surged forward, but Aurora’s father’s hand shot out, gripping my arm. “Don’t,” he warned. “Let him explain. He won’t do such for no

•AURORA’S POV•I wish it was all a dream.But the smell of antiseptic and the Red code blaring off in the hospital told me otherwise. My head ached, and my wrists were still sore from the restraints Alfredo had used. My body was blooded from Austin’s blood and that of Anthony.Austin…. I still can’t believe it. It happened just in a flash and he was gone.Forever.The door to my room creaked open, and my father stepped inside, his face lined with worry. Behind him came my sister and Aunt Lilian, each carrying the same worried expression.“How are you feeling, sweetheart?” Dad asked, walking to my bedside and taking my hand in his. He was there when everything went down and knew that I wasn’t fine.“I’m fine father,” I replied, though my voice sounded weak even to my own ears. “What about Anthony?”Dad sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. “He’s still in surgery. The doctors are doing everything they can. He lost a lot of blood and it’s not looking good.” He said sadly.

•MATTEO’S POV•“Okay, keep me updated Doctor…..Yes, thank you.” And the line goes dead. The past days after the incident seemed like long months to me, each passing moment feeling heavier than the last. Anthony was still in the ICU, his body fighting a battle that none of us could help him with. Bella had given her blood, and though the doctors had stabilized him, they were cautious. The words “50:50 chance” hung over us like a curse. I visited the hospital daily, but I spent more time at home, handling security matters and trying to find that don of a gun. Alfredo Enzo!Austin was laid to rest three days after he died and his death affected us in ways I couldn’t explain. Especially Aurora.They had become close all the time I was giving her the cold shoulder and the fact he took the bullet for her even made her more emotional. I just still can’t believe he was Fantasma all along. He played us right under our noses but the downside is we couldn’t hate him cause he was a pawn

•BELLA’S POV•The automatic doors of the hospital slid open as I stepped inside, the chill of the evening air replaced by the sterile warmth of the hospital. The plastic bag of supplies swung at my side. My steps were quick, my mind focused on returning to Anthony’s room. Aurora had been so insistent on staying with him that I had to practically force her to let me step out for a while using the excuse of buying groceries to talk a walk.As I reached Anthony’s floor, I noticed from close by that the door to his room was slightly ajar, and I wondered why. Or did Aurora step out by chance and forget to close the door behind her? It was unlike her but I didn’t pay much attention.“Aurora?” I called out, my voice echoing down the empty hallway. No response.I pushed the door open fully, and my breath caught in my throat. The room was a complete mess. The metal tray on the bedside table had been overturned, its contents scattered across the floor. A vase lay shattered near the wall, wat
