Aurora Tate,bride to be had a mask on her face to hide her identity.She was aware of what she had just done.
She ran away from her own wedding.Who wouldn't? All of a sudden the wealth and affluence of her family is gone.Her mother has been sick for two years now and her father basically spent all he has with nothing to show for it.Just to pay back his increasing debt,Mr Tate had gone and made the biggest mistake in his life.Of all the available suitors in the whole of Riverdale her father had to give her off to the stern and unscrupulous Mafia,Don Genovese.Aurora had no idea if he was in support of it but she couldn't care less.Her heart belongs to someone else already and she didn't think she'd be able to love anyone the same again.Even as she thought of it,she agreed that her boyfriend would be of help to her in this dire moment.Besides, she wouldn't just sit here in the restaurant forever.With this flaming and courageous spirit,Aurora Tate headed to her boyfriend's without thinking of the fact that she'd just angered the most dangerous Mafia in the whole of Riverdale.Stepping out of the car,she prepared to cross the road when she noticed a slim lady walk out of his apartment.Aurora stopped in her tracks, her heel boot standing firm on the coated road,her black overall outfit giving her a dangerous aura.When the lady's face came into view,Aurora had to blame herself for her mistrust in her boyfriend.The lady was none other than Amber Hill! Her best friend.For years while in high school,both her and Amber were never good in maths.They were always sneaking out of the class.Until Aurora met this nice dude whose house she would always go to for her maths problems.Maths problems suddenly turned to life problems.Life problems suddenly created a chemistry and they couldn't stop each other from tearing their clothes.Since then,she had introduced Amber Hill and together they both went for their math assignment.And now,she had instantly misunderstood and thought her boyfriend had already moved on in the space of a week.Amber hailed a cab without suspecting the ridiculous dressing of the lady across.Soon her cab sped off.Aurora crossed the road immediately and barged into the house like she always does.Judging the ridiculous outfit and the method at which this lady barged into his house,Matteo could only jump to his feet.Thinking it was a goon sent to kill him it was only natural for a frightened look to appear on his face."Who are you? What are you doing here? Babe, you've come to the wrong place"Aurora sighed as she pulled off her mask.Her chest nut brown waist length hair falling in waves behind her."Holy mother of God..." his mouth opened "Aurora!""Aurora??" he called again to be sure.He checked his watch "Aren't..aren't you supposed to be..getting married?""Honey,I..I ran away" her hazel almond shaped eyes searched his in the deep silence that followed.Suddenly,"You what?!!" he said humorouslyAurora stepped up to him."Did you really think I'd get married to him?? I am in love with you,Matteo"He shook off her hands."Aurora, we're speaking of the DEVIL." emphasized Matteo "He's not just a him!""And you stand here not feeling a slight remorse?? I mean you ran away from your wedding to Don Genovese."He paused and added "Are you sure you understand the repercussions of your action?!"Aurora didn't understand why he was reprimanding her this way.Of course,she understood the repercussions but wouldn't one do anything for love?She had overlooked the shame she would bring on her parents.Especially her sick mother and her father who was holding up tightly.Seeing that she was hurt,he held her arms and made her sit."Forgive me if I'm sounding harsh but what you've just done can cost you your life,Aurora" he explained"Can't you see that I stayed away from you immediately I heard that your father had given you to the Don?"He sighed "Not that I don't love you but considering the one you're getting married to anyone is bound to be scared.""I have a sister and a mother,Aurora.I can't afford to have the Mafia pointing his gun to my head asking of your whereabout" he said hastilyHe shook his head."When we started dating I noticed that you are the crazy type of girl but..this courage to run away from your wedding?? Embarrassing the Mafia?? Where did you get from Aurora?"She looked at him,tears filling her eyes."I love you,that's why!"Matteo shook his head again."You don't seem to understand the situation at hand,Aurora" he paused and stared at her."I know that and I love you too but sometimes things don't just work out the way we planned them"Aurora stared at him with a puzzled look on her face."If you truly love me like you claim,then why would you let me marry someone else?""I've said this before! He's not an ordinary person,Aurora." he ran his hands through his hair"He can walk up here and place ten bullet in my skull and the cops won't dare to arrest him.That's the point.""But you had sang in your song that you'd kill and fight anyone for me!" argued a distraught Aurora."Aurora" he called silently "If your father cannot fight the Don;who do you think I am to do that?"Tears crept from her eyes."It's nothing to cry about.Honestly,Aurora there's nothing wrong in marrying the Don."He sighed again"Just don't show that crazy and stubborn side of yours.""I might have put up with it but bear in mind any silly behavior and a bullet goes through your head."He turned back to her."Just obey and maybe he'd spare your life"Aurora wiped her tears and gazed at him."My life isn't the only one that's at stake here."She decided to break the news to him.This wasn't the way she'd envisioned things.In fact she wanted this beautiful need to bring happiness.However,considering the situation on ground she didnt think that would be possible anymore."What do you mean?""Well,since you said you wouldn't fight for me anymore.."His eyes widened."..perhaps you'll fight for your child""You must be out of your mind,Aurora!" boomed Matteo.He looked perplexed."What exactly are you playing at!""Play??" questioned Aurora with a weak smile on her face "I am pregnant,Matteo! And you're the f*cking father!"Matteo repeatedly shook his head."Stop lieing to me!" he bellowed and then grabbed her arm, walking towards the door."Get out of here,Aurora! I'm not stupid to fall for your nonsensical games!" he declaredBefore he could pull the door open,she snatched her arm away"I am not playing any games! Instead I see this as your pathetic way of protecting yourself! How could you pretend that we never had it?!" screamed Aurora,every part of her body aching."So what?" came his quick reply "Do you think I don't know how you f*ck around with the doctors at the hospital?!"Aurora's mouth dropped open."Don't act surprise! C'mon I still have a future to look up to and I cannot let you force this piece of shit on me!" he said pointing at her two months old pregnancy."Future to l
Aurora wiped her tears and got up from the chair.Amber Hill followed two seconds later.Perhaps she was still in shock after the menacing voice she just heard.Aurora began to straighten her dress.She buckled her boot and tossed her mask aside.Anger filling her heart."A-aurora was..was that the Don?" stammered Amber."Yes." Aurora answered as she tucked her phone into her jean pocket.Amber held her arm just when she was about to leave."Aurora!" she yelled "Are you seriously going to go there?!""What do you want me to do?!" she snapped "Sit here and shake in fear?!""No.." Amber sighed "Just..just call and apologize and the agree to the-"Aurora raised her hand "Marry someone as ruthless as him?? How can you advice that to me,Amber?! He f*cking threatened to murder my parent!"Amber held her hands."Please be calm! Don't take out your anger on me,okay?? I am just trying to help""Listen to me,Aurora.Dont mess with him further." she sighed "I am scared for you.He didn't look like h
Aurora Tate sat on one of the chairs the nurses had provided for her.She looked on forlornly like she had lost all reason to live.Amber Hill came in few hours later after Aurora had narrated everything to her in tears on the phone.She sat quietly beside her unable to find the right words to say."How..how are they?" she finally found her voice.A bold tear fell through Aurora's cheek."Father's still undergoing treatment, mother's blood pressure shot up.. it's.. it's.." her lips trembled "Critical."Amber pulled her into an embrace."We.. we're married Amber" she cried on her shoulders "I..I had to sign it""It's enough now, Aurora" she wiped her tears "That's enough crying."She held her face."Just..just look at how red and puffed out your face is. It's enough""It hurts,Amber!" voiced out Aurora.The bodyguards that Luca Genovese had stationed by her side turned their attention to her.They shot her a menacing stare but she was seriously angry to stop talking.Besides,how else wo
"Let go off me!" Aurora tried to step out of his grip but he was strong and he was hurting her on purpose."Does it feel so painful to be married to me??" he spoke with narrowed eyes "Well guess what? This is only the beginning of your suffering!" he declared.After saying his piece,he dragged her wrist and began to pull her out of the hospital."What is wrong with you?! Let go! Where are you taking me?!" she tried to stop herself but the tiles helped her move even faster than the pace at which he was pulling her.He pushed her into the car and shut the door.Entering through the other side,the driver started the car.Aurora shot him a deadly look."It's not a must for husband and wife to stay together.You don't have to act kind towards to me!""Kind??" he chuckled "And who said we're living together?"Aurora was confused.He tilted his head,his grey eyes locking hers.I'm taking you to the house to face your punishment" he explained "Did you really think my family will let you go aft
Andrea ran to help her up.Aurora avoided the impertinent stares at her and she tried not to make it obvious even when the pain below her abdomen was hurting so much.The men bursted out laughing after the short silence.However it was not so for Luca Genovese.The way he was staring at her told her that he was suspicious."Looks like the Don got a weak chic for himself" one of them joked.Leo came down the stairs.He had successfully distracted his mother.He saw that his wife was holding on to Aurora.He nodded as he came down the last of the stairs."Show her to her room,Andrea" "No." Luca stopped them "Take her to the dog's cage"Leo's mouth dropped opened,even Andrea was surprised.And to think he was humiliating her in front of his friends.Although,Aurora didn't mind.She really wouldn't feel comfortable staying in a place where everyone hated her.Say except for the beautiful lady who helped her up and the man who seemed to be supporting her all the time."The dog cage??" Leo sa
Aurora gritted her teeth.Luca didn't waste anymore time staring at her,he walked past her his shoulders brushing hers.The bodyguards went after him.Andrea got up from her seat and pulled her to the dinner table.Mrs Genovese's cutleries clanked on her ceramic plate followed by her loud and long hiss,after which she stormed off the house.Aurora wondered why these two were unexpectedly kind to her.As she began eating,she stopped at a point."Not being ungrateful,but I have to know why you're both kind towards me" she broke the silence.Andrea raised her head,"What would we gain by acting wicked towards you?" she answered.Aurora studied her."I disgraced your brother-in-law." she returned"Being kind to you doesn't mean we justify what you did" answered Leo "We're just doing what is right"He wiped his lips and got up from his seat.After planting a soft kiss on Andrea's forehead he grabbed his suit jacket and left the house.Again,Aurora missed Matteo.Everything she was seeing bet
"I heard you're now married to the Mafia" this was the sixth time a classmate was coming into her office to discuss this.The hospital was owned by the high school she attended,and most of the medical student had access to it on some occasions.As for her, she'd received a favour from the principal of the school to work as a nurse in the hospital.It was way into noon and none of her classmate had seized to ridicule her.As I've said before,this is the sixth one.Aurora dropped her notepad and stared up at Ethan."Yes" she answered honestly "Do you have a problem with that?"He bit his lips as he rested on her table. "It's just too bad..." he hissed "How would we have our usual fun, huh?"Aurora sighed"If you're out to annoy me,quit it" she replied "You know as well as I do,that we had nothing together""We did." he grinned "How could you forget how I slapped your juicy ass as you rode on my huge cock?"Aurora stopped writing and dropped her pen,a frown on her face.Something occured
"The wife I recognize,died two years ago." he replied non chalantly "I don't know the wife you're talking about""The wife you just married yesterday." she reminded "The wife you had ordered to be put in the cage""She's not my wife" came his gentle reply."What?""To the whole world,she is." he muttered "But to me, she's no less than a street dog who just happened to stray.""Luca!" "I hope you've not forgotten who you are speaking to and whose room you're standing in" he reminded "Being my sister-in-law is not a saving grace""What you are doing is wrong." she stated "If you intended all along to hurt her why did you in fact marry her?!""I had ordered the priest to conduct a fake wedding,just so mother could leave me alone" he began "However,she decided not to show up which pissed me off""Behind the scenes I rejected her privately;but she chose to do hers publicly"He sipped his wine "How else would I punish her if not making her do what she hates?""Luca.. you're a Don..a highly
