Judah's POVAurelia's mop of brown hair lay uncomfortably on the window, her styled hair had loosened while we were at the beach and she hadn't bothered to fix it up. Her long lashes flickered gently from time to time, her lips pursed then opened softly as she snored lightly. We had gotten home almost ten minutes ago but I didn't know why I couldn't bring myself to wake her up. She had fallen asleep almost immediately after we left the beach. I could see that she was uncomfortable but she looked so at peace that I couldn't dare to disturb her. It was quite late, almost midnight so I couldn't blame her for falling asleep.I was torn between waking her up and saving her from a massive neck pain tomorrow, or letting her sleep a little while longer and waking up with an aching neck. She twisted in her seat trying to find a more comfortable spot and she let out a little groan of pain. I tapped her shoulder lightly, " Hey, Aurelia, it's time to wake up. We're home." She groaned and brushe
Judah's POVGavin rubbed the back of his head nervously, " Judah, the truth is I wasn't informed as well, I found out through Gio after she had lunch with Zía Hannah and Aurelia. I assumed Aurelia had told you about it. If I knew you weren't aware, I would have told you immediately I found out." He rambled and mopped his forehead with his handkerchief. We were in an air-conditioned room so it was funny to see him sweating."It's fine but next time, I want to know immediately. It seems Camilla played all of us. I was constantly keeping track of her credit cards, how did I not know that she had bought a plane ticket and how did she escape the men I chose to keep an eye on her?" I scratched my jaw." Wait, I still can't believe Camilla is back, why? After the trouble she caused the last time she was home, you shipped her off to Italy. I thought she promised not to come back without your permission." Dario pressed his lips in a thin line."I thought so as well but it seems my sister was i
Aurelia's POV"Gerald informed me that Camilla came over today, why? Did she harass you?" Judah took a bite of his pasta."No, she didn't. Why do you assume the worst about your sister? She's having a welcome back party and she invited me, she says she wants to get to know me better and wants to introduce me to her friends." I dragged my eyes into slits.Judah shrugged a little, " Because she's my sister and I know who she really is. And you can't go to that party." He let the words out with so much ease.I stilled, my fork pausing midway, I dropped it on the plate and sat up. "Excuse me?" As much as I didn't want to go to the party, I wasn't going to let him think he could order me around, I wasn't one of his employees."You can't go to Camilla's party, in fact, I want you to stay far away from her." He sipped his wine and set it down.I let out a laugh full of mordancy, " Judah, please, let's not take a step forward and five steps back. You can't just order me not to go to your sist
Aurelia's POVIt didn't take long for Gio to arrive at Camilla's party, I stood in from of the door and watched as she laughed and drank with her friends. It seemed she had rented the entire restaurant, her smile was huge and almost split her face in half. I couldn't wait until I wiped the ground with her smile. Bitch! Fudge, I never used to swear until I married Judah, now I swore like a sailor."Hey, Aurelia!" Gio ran after me, "Before you go in, you need this as ammunition. I didn't want to mention it but it's the one this Camilla is truly scared of." A wicked smile graced my lips, " Come on, out with it. I'm pissed already, I'll take whatever you give me." Gio sighed and looked like he almost regretted what he was about to do, " I can't tell you the details about it because Judah swore everyone to secrecy. Judah was the one that sent Camilla to Italy, it was like a punishment for something she did. You can threaten her by telling her that Judah would send her back to Italy. No,
Aurelia's POVEveryone was silent except for a tiny shocked gasp from Mei, the air around us thickened and tensed, it crackled with anger, hostility, and hatred, all coming from Jasmine. This girl had a problem with me and it was personal, she wasn't acting in solidarity with Camilla. "That's too bad, this is such a beautiful dress and it was quite expensive. When did you get yours? I got it a day after it came out, I was told only two dresses were available, I got the first one. You must have gotten the second one." I dropped the subtle hint that she was the commoner. Everyone knew the first person to get a dress was the winner.The room remained silent, everyone staring at me in shock, Jasmine was seething, I could almost see steam floating out of her eyes. I smirked and turned to the bar, beckoning over the bartender."At least, I didn't look like a wrapped-up melon in it. You know, you should wear clothes made for your size and shape." Camilla and the twins covered their mouths a
Aurelia's POV"Gosh, now this is a party. Boomer, turn up the music, we need to dance." Camilla whooped. I got up and pulled my dress down, putting distance between them and me."Why you going? Sit down, which do you want pill or wrap? " Jagger pushed the two toward me. I shook my head and step back."None actually, I've never tried any of them." " Well, there's a first time for everything. Come on, try one, it will make you feel good, I promise." Jagger pressed and everyone agreed with him. Hamser mentioned something and their attention shifted away as they started laughing."I need to use the bathroom," I announced but no one paid attention to me. I rushed into the restroom and locked the door behind me. I quickly used the toilet and then stood in front of the mirror thinking about what I would do next. Should I call Gio in to take care of them or should I just leave them alone? Fudge, I never should have come to the party.I came out and found that they had moved to the dancefloor
Aurelia's POVJudah stalked towards me and held out his phone for me to see the picture. Derrick's hands were around my waist and my hands were on his chest, from the angle the picture was taken it looked like we were cozy and caressing each when I was actually trying to push him away."Care to explain what this means?" Judah demanded, I was too stunned to speak, I thought Camilla and her friends were too high to realize what was going on but they had planned this. "What? You've got nothing to say. Damnit, Aurelia, I do not want to jump to conclusions again, explain to me right now what's going on in this picture?" He smacked his hand on his thigh then ran his hand through his hair.I blew out hot air and closed my eyes for a minute, since Camilla pulled a fast one on me, all bets were off, I was going to drag her down with me."I'm sorry I lied, there were boys at the party but they came about ten minutes before I left. What you saw in that picture was actually me trying to free mys
Judah's POV"Nico, did you do what I asked?" I asked the big man as I came out of my car.He nodded his head, " He's in the basement, awaiting your arrival. I prepped him up nicely for you." " Good, I'll deal with him later, I have other important things to do. You can keep prepping him, just make sure he's not too overcooked, you know I like when there's still some fight and struggle in them." " Yes, I'm aware." Nico trotted after me then we went our separate ways, him down to the basement and I to my office. The elevator doors opened and Sabrina stood as I approached."Gavin and Dario are already waiting in your office, I've got some bad news though and it's everywhere on social media, Camilla posted a picture of Aurelia in another man's arms and she also posted some racy pictures from the party, showing the drugs and alcohol they consumed." She showed me her social media.Fuck family, fuck blood, Camilla was dead meat, when I get my hands on her, she's dead."The internet is blo
