AURORA'S VENDETTA Sofia is missing
Chapter 29Aurora's POV "Why do my decisions against the Camorra make you sad?" His gentle but tricky question resonated in my head as I thought of a reply that wouldn't make him more suspicious than he already was. "It doesn't make me sad. I just feel that you are using their weakness against them, besides, what will you gain from them? They don't have anything to offer you," I replied and his piercing gaze told me that I'd talked too much. He cocked his head to the side and his lips twitched, "I wonder how you got to know so much about the Camorra." He growled while I maintained our eye contact, hoping that he would believe me. "My ears are working," I replied flatly, fiddling with my palms. What would happen if he decided to dig into my past? Maybe he had done that and didn't find anything to hold onto, because I doubted that he just accepted me without having a thorough check up on me. "You seem to know how the mafia works, but you aren't involved in the mafia. How possible
AURORA'S VENDETTA Confusion
Chapter 30Matteo's POV I watched Giselle open the door wider, almost bumping into the maid who had announced her daughter's return. Aurora glanced at me and got up to go after her, giving me signs to do the same. Sofia sat on the couch with Danilo placing his hand on her shoulder. I glared at him and he retracted his hands quickly and straightened. "Where have you been, Sofia?" Giselle asked in a shrill voice and wrapped her arms around Sofia's neck. I looked away, trying to remember if my mother ever held me in such tender and loving manner. She always pushed me away and sometimes I wondered if she actually gave birth to me. "I'm sorry, mother, but I just couldn't deal with what I saw." Sofia replied, causing Giselle to pull away from the hug. I slanted a look at Aurora and discovered an uncanny resemblance between her and Sofia. I shook off the thought, knowing that they weren't related in anyway. Aurora glanced at me with a pitiful expression on her face. She looked like sh
AURORA'S VENDETTA Uncle Lorenzo's plan
Chapter 31Aurora's POV Giselle and Sofia exchanged confused looks, but I wanted her to live with us. There was every tendency of Sofia losing her standing with Danilo if she lived with him and it could cause a huge dent to the Outfit's image. "We'll stay in the Capo's house for the main time until Sofia gets married." Giselle decided and my heart leaped for joy. I couldn't explain the joy and peace I usually felt any time I was with Giselle. It was like we had a bond from the past which made me feel very safe and comfortable with her even though she murdered her husband. "That's a good decision. So pick up some of your things and come downstairs," Matteo instructed with his Capo tone while I beamed at him. How could I adore my enemy this much? I thought. "Can I visit her?" Danilo asked and Matteo squinted his eyes, pondering over his question. "Just to know how she's doing," He added. "You can, but you won't be allowed to stay alone with her." Matteo ordered and he inclined h
AURORA'S VENDETTA I want more
Chapter 32Matteo's POV I sat impatiently on the armchair, waiting for Aurora to come downstairs with her luggage. It was late afternoon already and my pilot had been waiting for me for minutes. It wasn't like he would complain, but I hated wasting people's time since they didn't do the same to me. She came downstairs finally, her auburn hair drooping around her shoulder wildly. She smiled at me as she dragged her box in one hand and held a duffel bag in the other. "I'm sorry for making you wait, but I had to finish with the last minute packing." She apologised in a sing-song tone, smiling sweetly. Ever since I allowed her to participate in the competition, she had become very bubbly and less reserved. There was a spark in her eyes each time she served us during breakfast or dinner, and it made me happy if I was being honest. "You ladies are fond of it. Let's go." I replied and helped her with the box. She didn't allow me to, "Don't worry about it, Matteo. The Capo of the Outfi
AURORA'S VENDETTA The competition
Chapter 33Aurora's POV His lips plunged deeper into mine as I reciprocated, grappling his strong arm which was wrapped around my waist. I knew that I was stupid when I'd said that I wanted more, but it was the freaking truth. He had challenged me and told me that I'd fall, and that was what I was doing presently. "This is really crazy, Aurora." He stated when he placed me on the bed carefully so that he could take of his shorts. "What do you mean?" "Having you in my arms, on the eve of your competition. Do you remember that day that you vowed never to get intimate with me? I guess the reverse is happening now." He taunted, sticking out his tongue as I chewed my lips. With his embarrassing statements, my cheeks had turned red hot but I could tell that he wasn't done yet with his chocolate amber eyes of his that were ogling at me in a lustful manner. "Stop talking, Matteo, or I might be tempted to change my mind." I warned, in a shrill voice, though I'd wanted it to be more ster
AURORA'S VENDETTA Protecting your own
Chapter 34Matteo's POV I'd been monitoring the glares that the other contestants fired at her, but the one from the contestant who was next to her was quite alarming and had a lot of threats embedded in it. I was going to keep it in until I had a fake gasp from him, which spread from the other contestants and then Aurora who was carrying a silver bowl of water, fell flat on the floor. "What in the world is going on?" I growled, ignoring the cloud of attention I was receiving from the rest of the audience and the women who were busy checking me out. Aurora got up to her with her cooking attire drenched with water. Her face was smeared with the powder she has applied earlier, which formed a patch on her cheeks and the mascara she had applied ran through her face in a straight line. If it wasn't a serious problem, I'd have teased her, but someone was about to stop her from participating in the competition and I wasn't going to sit down and allow it to happen. I headed towards the
AURORA'S VENDETTA Will you be my girlfriend?
Chapter 35Aurora's POV "The winner is…." The coordinator paused then slanted a look at all of us, holding a smile whereas my innards burned with nervousness and anxiety. "The winner of this year's competition is… Aurora Mancini," He screamed and I fell to the ground, my eyes reeling in shock. My heart couldn't contain what he just announced, then I glanced at Matteo who was smiling with his teeth visible. He looked so excited and was heading my way. It meant that I was the winner. He climbed the staircase of the arena in twos and everyone who stood as an obstacle for him not to pass gave way. "You really did it, Aurora, I'm so proud of you." He said in excitement. I looked into his chocolate amber eyes and realised that it was true. The only man I had fallen for cared about me and was very happy with my success. "Thank you, Matteo. I'm just too overwhelmed, I don't know what to say," I cried, my eyes gushing with tears and my body trembling. I'd never achieved somethi
AURORA'S VENDETTA The attack
Chapter 36Matteo's POV She was stunned and I loved every bit of the surprised look on her beautiful face. "But this is too sudden, Matteo. Why do you even want us to be an item? Don't you have other women in your life?" She asked, her eyes turning glassy. "I don't, Aurora. Ever since I met you, I lost interest in other women. It's just been you and I can't say what I feel right now, but I'm very sure that I don't want other men around you." I stated and she burst into laughter. Her voice reverberated in a sweet crescendo into the night. Nothing sounded better than the sound of her voice in my ears. "You're that jealous? I thought you didn't care?" "Now you know that I do, so, Aurora, do me the honor of being my woman. You won't regret it, I promise." She pushed closer to me, her eyes glistening with uncertainty. I knew that she had every reason not to trust me but I was willing to make everything right between us. "I know that you don't break your promise. Let's see wh
