All Chapters of Mrs Matteo Rocco : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CHAPTER 62*Matteo’s POVDays had passed since Aurora woke up from her coma, and every second since then, I stayed by her side as I could not bring myself to stay away from her. Bella and Anthony too took turns in staying with her, especially Bella who made sure to cater to all of Aurora’s needs. It was almost like nothing ever happened as we never spoke about the incident since that day but I knew…… I knew she had questions, the kind of questions I wasn’t sure how to answer yet or if I even wanted to tell her about.Bella and Anthony had just made their leave a few minutes ago and we were left alone in her hospital room. “You should rest,” I said, turning back to her trying to tuck her in but she seemed to not want to rest.“Is something bothering you, baby girl?” I asked her calmly but as if I knew what was on her mind.Aurora sat up in the hospital bed, her eyes studying me like to see if I was hiding something from her well which of course I was. “I’ve rested enough,” she said so

CHAPTER 64 •MATTEO’S POV•“A lead?” Austin asks looking at Ethan across the table. “What lead are you talking about?”We’re seated in the living room while Aurora is having her bath. She had another bad dream while taking a nap and I had just calmed her down, setting up a bath for her when Ethan came visiting.Sitting at the edge of the table, my fingers tapping lightly against the wood I scanned the faces of Anthony, Austin, Bella, and Ethan. The air was thick with tension, and they all knew why—this wasn’t just a casual conversation. The investigator, Ethan, had found something, and we needed answers.“So,” I began, in the most controlled manner, “you said you found a clue. Something new about Sebastian?”Ethan, who had been flipping through his notes before pulling out a piece of what looked like a document and placing it on the table, looked up and nodded. “Yes. It’s not much, but it could be significant. We traced a money transfer that was sent to Sebastian’s account...from

CHAPTER 66 •AURORA’S POV•“The doctor says you’re doing fine and we will be leaving for home in three days.” Matteo informs me as he buries his face in a bunch of paperwork at the side of the room.A part of me is excited to go back home as I felt it would be a healing spot for me being surrounded by more people who I felt at ease with. But the other part of me isn’t due to the fact I feel some disconnection with Matteo lately. Aside from sleeping together, having meals and telling me how much he would protect me, we haven’t had sex and he seemed to be avoiding me sexually.“Okay, that works well for me. I’ll go tell Bella so she can prepare.” I respond but leave to into the closet instead. I was sexually starved and he wasn’t helping matters. If he wasn’t going to take action then I would.I pick up a Lacey see-through nightie I had shopped one time with Bella and put it on. Leaving out my panties, my nipples were already erect poking through the lace of the she

CHAPTER 68•Aurora’s POV•As we landed in Rome, a wave of relief washed over me. There was something comforting about being back on familiar grounds, surrounded by familiar air and faces here. The flight had been smooth, but the weight of everything that happened in Singapore hung over us like a dark cloud in some way tho we don’t plan on letting it dwell, we are home and everything will be fine. Despite Matteo’s attempt to lighten the mood during the fight, I could still sense his tension. Something was bothering him but I didn’t know what it was.I squeezed his hand as we exited the plane. "We’re home," I whispered, glancing up at him. He nodded, but I could tell his mind was elsewhere.The drive to Matteo’s family home was quiet, in a comfortable way. Anthony and Bella sat in the backseat, talking in low tones. Bella seemed calmer, though there was still a sense of awkwardness around Anthony. Meanwhile, I kept replaying the events in Singapore over in my head—Sebastian’s death, the

•ANTHONY’S POV•“You need to know your position in this family………..” he had said to me. The statement taunted me over and over again reminding me of where I came from.An orphanage.I stood outside the balcony of my quarters with a glass of whiskey lost in thought. Matteo's father had hit a nerve, and it hadn’t gone unnoticed. He always had some kind of resentment towards me for reasons I couldn’t tell. Maybe he didn’t like the fact I wasn’t his wife’s blood brother but some mutt her father had picked up from a rundown orphanage.“Anthony?” I hear Bella’s voice. It was soft, but it pulled me from my thoughts. Turning to face her, at first, I was surprised to see her here worried that her father would get more furious that she was here after what happened tonight but on the other hand, her presence was comforting as her eyes were full of concern and worry.“Bella,” I greeted her, my voice low and controlled, but she’s no fool and I know she could sense the strain
