AURORA'S VENDETTA You can't say no
Chapter 18Aurora's POV "I don't think I want to talk about it. This isn't the appropriate time for this conversation," He said coolly and I nodded. "Maybe we should go home then, I have to make breakfast and everyone should be hungry by now." I said and resumed jogging, leaving him to ponder on my coldness. Due to his long legs, he was able to catch up with me but I wasn't ready for any strained discussion. "I don't want to believe that you are angry because I didn't say anything to you." He insinuated. A huff escaped my lips and then I halted. "We still have the boss-employee relationship, right?" "Yes, why do you ask?" His eyes were squinted in confusion. "Because I don't want you to accompany me during my workout times. I didn't sell my rights to you when I started working here and I should have my privacy." I didn't give him a chance to respond as I took to my heels. My pace didn't reduce till I got to the gate and waited for the guard to open up for me. By the ti
AURORA'S VENDETTA Helping out
Chapter 19Aurora's POV I stood in front of my vanity table with a tired look on my face. What did Matteo really want? Angelo's words flashed in my mind again. Somehow, he was trying to tell me about Matteo. He didn't know of my plans so anything he said was a clue to breaking him and getting my revenge. It was already getting late. The party was slated for 7pm and having lived with the brother-in-law to a late Capo, I knew how much they loved punctuality. It would have been fun messing with him and coming out later on since I wasn't really interested in going but I still buzzed out. Matteo stood with his back facing me. His eyes were on his wrist watch and I held back a snort. "I'm ready," I announced as he turned back and gazed at me with a gentle look. He looked magnificent in his black tuxedo and his hair that was combed in a slick comb-over. He opened his mouth to make a comment but snapped it shut. I didn't need his reply because I could see how his eyes nearly undressed
AURORA'S VENDETTA A new discovery
Chapter 20Aurora's POV I didn't bat my eyes while staring at him because I knew that he wouldn't overstep his boundaries since I posed as Matteo's woman. The Capo brought me here and even if he didn't introduce me to everyone as his girlfriend, they would connect the dots together and match us up. "What are you doing with her, Giselle?" His voice became deeper than the tone he greeted us earlier with. "She just wanted to ask me where the toilet was. That's it," She replied, her voice sounding shaky. He stared at me with a warning flickering in his eyes but I didn't look away, rather I held his gaze with my lips twitched. Maybe he'd beat up his wife when he got home, but I wanted to remind him that not all women could be treated like trash. "What is going on here, Antonio?" Matteo's voice disrupted my eye battle with Giselle's husband. "Nothing serious, I was just checking up on my wife." Antonio replied, placing his arm around the waist of his wife possessively. I smiled then
AURORA'S VENDETTA Sharing the bed
Chapter 21Matteo's POV The idea of being with her alone in the night made my blood rush. She looked surprised but she masked it in and smirked. "What do you say?" I asked again as she placed her finger on her forehead in thought. "I think we should go to a hotel, but what would happen to your car?" She suggested and I nodded. This was my route and the nearest hotel was thirty minutes away and twenty-five if we increased our walking pace. "Everyone knows better than to touch anything that belongs to me. We would have to walk fast. There's no hotel nearby," I informed her and she nodded. She glanced at her foot and shook her head. "I should have kept my flip-flops in the car as I usually do." "Well, there's nothing we can do about your heels," I replied and we began to walk together. I'd have walked faster if I was alone, but I had to consider the beautiful woman beside me. The crickets which hid by the grasses on the road side chirped loudly, giving me a nostalgic feeling. I us
AURORA'S VENDETTA Behind closed doors
Chapter 22Aurora's POV I shifted uncomfortably on the bed glaring at the smug grin which was plastered on his face. Why on earth did he think I'd be comfortable sharing a bed with him? Though the thought of being with him through out the night was unsettling, I still wanted to know it would feel. "Since you're so interested on sharing the bed then I'd lay on the couch. It looks soft and cozy enough," I smirked and then he took off his shirt. He was left on a white vest and I looked away, not wanting to imagine how his chest would look like when he finally tosses it off. "Don't be so shy, it's nothing you haven't seen before," He teased slyly, "Or haven't you seen enough bare chests? "I don't derive joy in seeing that. It doesn't interest me," I replied curtly, got up from the bed and limped with a wince towards tie bathroom. "Are you sure, you can bath on your own?" He raised his brows. "I'm slightly injured, not crippled. Sure, I can take care of my issues." I huffed then sto
AURORA'S VENDETTA The path to freedom
Chapter 23Aurora's POV "Huh?" I jerked up the bed into a sitting position, my eyes widening at his request. We had only kissed once but it was brief and I always acted like it never happened because of how teasing he made it be. "Yes, I want to kiss you." He reiterated, causing butterflies to whirl in my stomach. "Is this a part of the challenge?" I furrowed my brows and he snorted. "Maybe, but I really want to taste your lips. You don't know how hard it is for me to lie beside you while your lips are staring at me untouched." He made a joke of what he desired but I knew that he was serious. At least, he was blunt unlike other men who lied about what they wanted. I couldn't blame him though, he was a Capo and it wasn't hard for him to make demands. "Just a kiss, right? It won't lead to other things." "A kiss usually leads to other things but I'm ready to take whatever you want to offer me…" He replied with a smug grin and I wrapped my fingers at the small of his back and bro
AURORA'S VENDETTA An eye for an eye
Chapter 24Aurora's POV I sank onto the bed, as my eyes took notice of the black marbled tiles that had blood and shards of glasses spluttered on it. If he lost so much blood as this, I doubted if Antonio would ever make it alive. Even though I was happy that she'd taken the bull by the horn and tried to end the misery that she had faced since she married him, I wasn't sure that Matteo would take things lightly with her. "How did it happen? Tell me everything, and where is your husband right now?" She sighed and palmed her forehead. "He's at a private hospital that belongs to our family doctor presently. He knows the Capo so I might be summoned any time soon," I checked my phone for Matteo's message. Get out of there. That woman is a murderer. I gasped at his message and covered my palmed my lips. "Antonio is dead. Matteo just sent me a message," I informed her. She laughed hysterically and shrugged without remorse, then sank onto floor and rested at the edge of the bed. "It
AURORA'S VENDETTA Weird feelings
Chapter 25Matteo's POV Aurora stared at me, her eyes pleading that I become lenient with my decision but I couldn't allow her to change my mind in the presence of everyone. "Take her out of here," I ordered and stormed out of the room. She followed me down the stairs till we got to the car. "Matteo, please you have to listen to me. Her husband tried to kill her because she didn't tell him what I said to her yesterday. It was self defense," She cried. I snorted, "Self defense, you say? That woman almost killed one of my underbosses. Do you expect me to let her go just because she has been having issues with her husband?". Her expression dimmed as she stared at me with a surprised look, but I couldn't blame her because my actions surprised me. I'd never liked Antonio from the beginning because of how rebellious he was sometimes, but he was loyal. "So it's right for you to kill her when you know that she had always been the victim? What happened to the strong dislike you had for A
