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
AURORA'S VENDETTA A suspicious call
Chapter 37Matteo's POV I used his distraction of shooting the wrong person and fired a shot at his kneecap even when his aim grazed my arm. I gave him my deadly smirk which caused him to flinch as no one on the earth would plead with me to make his death quicker. I shot his arm, his gun dropping from his hands as he collapsed to the cold ground while I rushed towards Aurora who winced at my touch. "Relax, it's me. I'll get you to safety." I said in a nearly crying tone. The woman in my arms had taken a bullet for me without thinking. No one had ever done for me, not even my mother who I thought would show me the love and care I needed. Sometimes, I wondered how I was still able to act normal and be tender with my loved ones. "It.. hurts," She stuttered and her lashes closed slowly. I crouched and placed my left ear on her heart chest to check for her heartbeat. The rate had dropped so I carried her in a bridal style after warding off other shooters then used my men as c
AURORA'S VENDETTA She's awake
Warning: This chapter has triggers and some lines entailing violence. Chapter 38Matteo's POV I stared at the beautiful woman who refused to open her eyes since last night and sadness washed over me. I missed everything about her; her smiles, snide remarks, her meals and how she blushed whenever I said something that made her smile. "Wake up soon, Mamacita. I miss you so much, don't worry I'll make those people pay for hurting you." I said and trailed my fingers along her arm. I felt a slight movement, as if she was reacting to my touch and my eyes darted toward her face as her lips twitched like she wanted to smile. Doctor Luca had said that she would wake up but after her body had gotten enough rest. I had to bank on that and be patient, but my patience had its limits. The door of her ward creaked open with Giselle and Sofia walking into the ward with their faces pale. Giselle looked more affected as she walked ahead of her daughter and rushed towards Aurora. "She shoul
AURORA'S VENDETTA A shocker
Chapter 39Aurora's POV My lashes fluttered open as my eyes darted around, searching the room like something was missing. Matteo's musky scent was still fresh in the room and I remembered how he whisked me into his car in a state of frenzy. I had to speak to my uncle and tell him how his quest to rebuild the Camorra nearly made me lose my life. Sofia rested her head beside me but there was no trace of Giselle. I tried to raise my head from the pillow to be sure that she was around but it felt heavy, causing me to wonder if I was actually shot on my head and not my stomach. The door from the toilet creaked open and Giselle showed in looking tired with dark patches under her eyes. Her hair was tousled roughly though it looked like she had made some efforts in straightening it. "Gi.. Giselle.." I called and she scurried towards me as her eyes shone with relief. "You're finally awake," She cried happily, "Thank goodness! I have to call Matteo now," She chirped and reached for
AURORA'S VENDETTA The truth I
Chapter 40Aurora's POV "My aunt?" I was exasperated. None of them replied to my question as they both peered at each other like they hadn't seen each other in months. Well, they actually hadn't seen each other in years and I wasn't sure that my uncle had ever mentioned anything concerning his sister. "Someone should explain to me what is going on!" I snapped, angry that I was bound to the bed by the drip passing through my veins. "I'll explain everything to you, but you need to relax please." Uncle Lorenzo replied to make me calm but I wasn't having it. I didn't even know whether to be sad or happy that Giselle was my aunt. That should be the reason why I felt the strong urge to protect her and Sofia. She was my fvcking relative! "What are you doing here, Giselle? Did you know that she was your niece?" Giselle blanched at his question and pushed forward. My eyes caught the sight of Sofia's bag and I hoped that she wouldn't come and see what was going on. "I didn't know a
AURORA'S VENDETTA Intimate moments
Chapter 41Aurora's POV I shared a glance with my uncle as Matteo gave that piece of information. We had to act fast and help the man that was held captive by Matteo but I lacked ideas on how to do that. "That's really good to hear," I replied nervously and chewed my lips. Matteo scanned my face intently then placed his hand under my jaw. "You don't look as bright as I expected you to be. Aren't you happy that the man who tried to shoot you is in our custody?" "Sure, I'm happy." I replied and put on the brightest smile I could then I held his hand. "Thank you for being very concerned about me." He nodded in response then got up and walked to my uncle. "Who are you to her?" Uncle Lorenzo asked and I shook my head, pleading with him not to ask unnecessary questions. He was in Matteo's territory for Christ sake! Did he think that he could run his mouth as freely as he wanted? The fact that Matteo was being nice and calm with him was because he was my uncle, else, he'd have lo
