Semua Bab Mrs Matteo Rocco : Bab 101 - Bab 110

•MATTEO’S POV•Anthony has been awake for a while and his condition was getting better over the days. Aurora had come back home and we were on a “greeting basis” now. Things were a bit still awkward between us and I was yet to confess my feelings to her since the day Alfredo kidnapped her at the hospital. Talking about Alfredo, Lady Luck was by his side as he managed to make it out alive. Once he was seen fit at the hospital he would be moved to the prison immediately and the court proceedings against him will start. He would be locked up for a very long time “Matteo,” Aurora’s voice rang breaking my thought and I saw her head peek into my office doors. Her eyes searched mine, a mixture of hope and uncertainty. “Can I come in for a minute , I won’t take your time.” “Of course you can. Please come in.” I said gesturing for her to come in. It felt weird being formal with her but baby steps. She took a seat by the mini table that lay in my office her fingers playing with t

•AURORA’S POV• 2 YEARS LATER The late afternoon sunlight poured through the wide-open windows. The soft hum of a lullaby played in the background, and I glanced at the crib, where my baby boy, Liam, lay peacefully sleeping. His tiny chest rose and fell with each breath, and I couldn’t help but marvel at him. He had Matteo’s sharp features but my cute emerald eyes. A perfect mix of the two of us. I leaned back into the armchair, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Life hadn’t been perfect—far from it, actually. But looking back on everything we’d endured and gone past in the past two years, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Those trials had led us here, to this moment of peace, surrounded by love and family. Bella’s voice brought me back to the present. She was opposite me on the couch, flipping through an old photo album. Her laughter rang out as she held up a picture of us from a year ago. “Aurora, look at this! Remember when we went hiking and you slipped into the mud

AURORA’S POVFootsteps in the hallway. It could only mean one thing…..Liam is back from Kindergarten alongside his aunt Bella. It’s been three years since his birth and five years since my eventful first year of marriage and meeting his father, Matteo.“Mamaaaa” rang the voice of my baby boy as he found his way into the library where I was, walking hand in hand with his aunt.“Oh, my sweet pookie.” I rush to him as he swings forward for a hug. “Did you have a great day at school today?” I ask him and he doesn’t answer but is all smiley which warms my heart.“So I don’t deserve a hug, do I?” Bella asks with a sigh and mock sadness. I laugh at her petty actions while rising and pulling into a bear hug. “Well if I don’t hug you my dearest sister Inlaw, who deserves my hugs?” I coo her and we both burst out laughing.“Better not say that when your husband’s around. I dislike putting up with fake annoyances.” She says and we both laugh again. A small cough from the doorway draws our att

I leaned back in my chair, arms crossed, watching the lawyer squirm under my gaze. Richie Rossi was an aging defense attorney, his graying hair and tired eyes making it clear he’d seen enough cases to know when he was sitting in a dangerous conversation. And right now? He knew exactly what this was. I specifically handpicked him to defend Alfredo as I made sure other good lawyers didn’t take his case yet he’s trying to squirm out of my grip even in the prison!He should be happy I left him alive to start with. Stupid bastard!“You defended Alfredo Enzo,” Anthony started, his voice calm but you could sense the “no nonsense” tone underneath. “We need to know what he was planning. Every detail.”Richie sighed, rubbing his temples. “Look, I already told your man everything I knew even before you came here yourself. Alfredo hired me because he wanted out, simple as that. But he wasn’t looking for a legal fight. He was looking for a loophole.”“A loophole?” I narrowed my eyes, not liking wh

AURORA’S POVSophia and I pulled into the school parking lot, waiting for Liam to come out. I was feeling down the entire day and I had promised my son that I’d pick him up from school, I was about to bail on him when Sofia offered to drive us. The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the pavement as children ran toward their parents. The car’s engine hummed softly as we sat in comfortable silence, watching the school doors open and release a flood of students.“So, I overheard Matteo and Anthony talking the other day,” Sophia started casually, her hands resting on the steering wheel. “Something about Alfredo trying to get out of prison.”I turned to her, surprised. “Where did you hear that?” I asked in a hushed tone like we were being watched.“I was just passing by Matteo’s office. He didn’t see me, but I heard enough to know it was serious.” She glanced at me her face now full of concern and worry. “So, what’s going on?”After what happened years ago, she was mad that we didn’t t
