Andrea was woken up with water splashed all over her. Panting, she stared at her surroundings. Yes, she remembered that she collapsed in the rain but she didn't remember finding her way to where she is right now.The room wasn't large and there were two fierce looking men guarding the door. More than scared, Andrea thought that they must have kidnapped the wrong person."Hello, Andrea." someone was speaking from behind her. Since she was tied to a chair she couldn't see who it was but the voice was familiar.The person eventually came and stood in front of her.He smirked, "Remember me?""A-alex." she called "What..what are you doing here?? Aren't you supposed to be in jail?!""Seriously??" Alex grinned "Not even a hi or something?? You really did not miss me?""Don't play around with me. Why am I tied up? Let me go!"He picked up his gun and Andrea paused for a moment. The day before she had begged the universe to take her life but right now, she preferred to live. "Don't raise you
Leo was shocked to see the divorce papers in her hand. He was heartbroken. He knew this was all his fault but he never expected that Andrea would take such a decision.Aurora stepped forward."Andrea, we've been worried about you," she glanced at Leo and back at Andrea "Leo's been worried sick.""Why?" she snapped and then smiled viciously "Didn't he cause all of this??"Everyone was surprised. No one had ever seen Andrea mad. She stared at them."What? Were you expecting me to remain quiet like always?" she smirked and tossed the paper at Leo "All you have to do is sign it and you'd be free to marry the mother of your child.""Andrea no!" Aurora stepped forward and held her hand "You can't do this. What's gotten into you??"Andrea jerked her hand out of her grip and then glared at her."You wouldn't understand would you? It's true that Luca doesn't treat you right but he's never made you feel like trash, has he? Even in the midst of his possessiveness he has never failed to protect y
"Luca, where are you taking me?" Aurora asked when the car pulled to a stop at a beach. She stared at him "The tension at home isn't favorable. You shouldn't have brought us here."Without a word, Luca got out of the car and opened the door at her end. He helped her out and entwined his hand with hers. They began to stroll around the beach."Why's no one here?" Aurora asked absentmindedly and then she turned to him, "You sent everyone away?"Luca wasn't going to answer so she immediately added,"Aren't you going to speak?"Luca sighed, "You're my peace, Aurora. The tension at home is tearing me out." he locked eyes with her "That is the reason I brought you here."Her cheeks turned red and she quickly looked away and avoided any more eye contact. Seeing this, he pulled her into his chest and hugged her for a few seconds.She wrapped her hands around him and relaxed in his arms. "You have never asked me for anything," Luca said as they sat on the sand and watched the sunset. "I won't
Sandra felt at home.Mrs Genovese was upstairs with her friends in the study room chit chatting and drinking while she roamed about the house, enjoying herself.She stopped by Luca and Aurora's room, turned sideways before opening it and stepping in. To her surprise, it was pretty dark and carried a very eerie feeling. She hurriedly walked out and slammed the door shut."Gosh," she shook her head and began to walk down the stairs "So scary! How does she even cope with him?!" Downstairs, she walked to the kitchen and got herself an apple. She stared at the whole house."I can't believe it," she grinned from ear to ear "I'll soon be married to Leo! I will bear the Genovese's their first child! Only then will I demand for what I want!" she giggled with excitement as she flopped on the couch and munched her apple."I just need to get rid of that brat, Aurora" she planned "She's so annoying! Lucky her, I don't know anything about her. Else I-" at that moment the door bell rang and interru
The family was having dinner few minutes after Luca and Aurora came back. The atmosphere was tense and only Sandra was smiling while everyone else kept a straight face."Mrs Genovese," Sandra began "You probably have no idea that Andrea stopped by earlier today.""Really??" she stared at Leo "Why am I not aware?"The latter did not give a response but just continued with his dinner."She dropped a divorce paper, mom. So it's official. Although Leo is yet to sign it I believe we wouldn't have a problem since she also doesn't want anything to do with Leo anymore."Mrs Genovese smiled in agreement."That's great. I will begin preparations for the wedding then."Giggling excitedly, Sandra added "I want it red-themed mother. My wedding gown should be the last thing prepared. Since I'm pregnant, it wouldn't look nice on me. In a month time, I'll deliver and get my sexy figure back. I'll be the most beautiful bride!""That is not a problem, Sandra" Mrs Genovese approved of the suggestion "On
Early the next morning, Aurora had woken up late despite setting the alarm as early as six. She knew that Luca would leave for work that early and she wanted it to seem like she'd bumped into him. She wanted to speak to him however it was impossible now.The waist trainers she had worn caused her a lot of pain and inconvenienced the kids. Still, she had sauntered to Luca's room hoping that by some miracle he would be around. However, that was not the case. Sighing, she turned on her heels but did not expect Sandra to be behind her. The latter laughed."What are you doing here?" she asked Aurora "You snitch! Aren't you standing before me in that big belly?? What did you use to hide it, huh? Why didn't you tell everyone the truth?! Just like me, you love the wealth and luxurious life that comes with being married to Luca. Yet you stood against me when I have every right to be married to Leo. I am with his child! But you're carrying a bastard!""I'm not like you," Aurora replied calmly "
Sandra was not satisfied. She had her nose stuck everywhere. The moment she saw Aurora leaving the mansion, she had followed suit and was now seated few meters away with a man she had paid to take photos.She thought Aurora had come to see Matteo, her lover but was disappointed when she saw that it was only a friend. She decided to wait a little while but was getting fed up. However, left with little patience she was prepared to leave when the person she had been waiting for showed up. Excited, she got the henchman to be at alert and take photos which she would send to Luca and Leo at the office.On the other hand, Matteo had waited all night for Aurora's response but there was none. By sheer luck, he'd overhead Amber asking if it is the ice cream shop. He'd come by a little later and was glad Aurora was there.Amber got up on her feet, "Are you crazy?! How dare you follow me here!Aurora also stood up and held Amber back."Don't create a scene, people are watching" Aurora whispered "
At the office, Leo finally found an avenue to speak to Luca. Walking in with a folder in his hands, he shut the door behind him.Seeing the documents in hand, Luca said nothing.Leo dropped the files on his desk and noticed that Aurora's picture that had replaced Rachel's was face down on the desk. It was a warning not to broach the topic but still Leo wouldn't leave without accomplishing his goal."These are the files you requested from your secretary," Leo broke the silence.Without looking up, Luca said "I requested the secretary to bring them to my office, why are you here?"He added sarcastically, "Since when did you turn to my secretary?""I..I happened to be passing by when you placed the order from the intercom. I saw that she was busy so I helped her with it. It's not bad to help is it?""Don't play smart with me, Leo." Luca still had his head focused on his laptop, "Were you just passing by or were you in fact with my secretary?""What??""You already have a marriage prepar
