She pushed him off of her and got up from the bed, straightening her large shirt."..but first you have to get your wounds treated.I can't stand the sight of blood." He continued staring at her,still in awe over what he heard but she didn't wait for him to think of a response.She went into the bathroom and fetched the first aid box.She came and lowered herself beside him,opening the box and taking a piece of cotton wool which she diluted with a methylated agent and began to clean his wounds.Even though she placed all her focus on what she was doing,she could feel his gaze over her and she was trying to think of a way to leave after cleaning up his wounds.She'd only said that to make him comply and he did but at the end of it,she didn't know what would happen.She took another thick piece of cotton wool and was about to repeat the process when,"Did you really mean what you said?" his deep voice cajoled her senses.It was obvious he really believed her and couldn't stop thinking abo

Aurora awoke the instant her alarm rang. She switched it off and hurriedly had a bath then she pulled on a jean and a black hoody to hide her little bump.She quietly left the house believing that everyone was still asleep however Luca watched her slender figure stride out of the mansion. Quietly smoking his cigarette, he did not react and just watched her till she was out of site.Aurora Genovese was bent on filing for the divorce. She stuck her nose in the air as she continued to walk on the lonely street with two or three cars whipping by.She pulled her phone from her pocket and swiped the answer button."Well? Where are you?" she asked Amber."Hold, I will show up very soon!" Amber declared and soon a black sedan pulled up by the side of the road and Aurora jumped in, breathing a sigh of relief.Truth is, she wasn't really sure about filing for the divorce and at the same time she wanted so badly to do it though she was worried about the repercussions."Aurora is it so difficult t

Aurora jerked awake in the middle of the night. Her stomach squeezed in tightly that she could hardly breathe.She began to pant but quickly covered her mouth the moment she realized Luca was sleeping beside her.His hand was around her waist, and his face looked so peaceful which was a stark contrast to his demeaning and dangerous aura when he is awake. Aurora couldn't help but stare at him quietly and her own pain seemed to disappear like thin air. She laid back down on the bed and propped herself up with her elbow. She continued to stare at him finding it so peaceful and funny too.So he looked this way when he slept? She thought in her mind and a small smile climbed up her lips.At the same time, an idea occured to her.She picked up her phone lying on the drawer beside the bed. Because of how big the King-sized bed was she had to stretch to take it and her slight movement caused him to stir.He didn't wake up but his hand around her waist tightened as if to ensure she was beside him

Leo dashed out of the ICU almost bumping into Luca."Luca," he shook his head, a hint of worry in his tone "The doctors say he's far too gone."Just as Luca was about to reply, the ICU doors pushed open and a team of doctors arrived. Luca and Leo hurried towards them."Mr Genovese," one of them spoke, a forlorn look on his face "I'm sorry.""What the hell do you mean by that!" Luca shouted"We have done all we could, but he's not coming through." the doctor turned down his gaze "He has only few minutes to live, Mr Genovese. I'm sorry."Luca watched in silence as they turned and walked away. He shut his eyes as the pain coursed through him. Yes, he'd done bad things and maybe he is part of the reasons Mr Tate would lose his life today. Luca never envisioned this. He'd spent millions of dollars, gone as far as bringing the best doctors from overseas however the man's health was not getting any better. He felt guilty."Have the driver get Aurora down here," he said to Leo "Immediately an

Leo and Andrea alighted from the car. The rain was pouring heavily and it thundered loudly in the distance. Tightening her coat over her body, she gazed at the sky while waiting for Leo to join her."I hope he finds her," she sighed "It's so cold." and then she turned to Leo, wondering why he wasn't beside her yet. He was on his phone and as he typed into it he had a serious expression on his face. Andrea had noticed this since they were at the hospital but she attributed it to his busy schedule and didn't bother to ask.Leo lifted his head and caught her staring. He looked surprised because he thought she must have gone in."Hey, it's cold. Why are you still standing here?""Is something wrong, Leo?" Andrea decided to ask him "You've been on the phone even while you were driving.""It's.. it's work related and I'm afraid I'll have to be there in the next few minutes.""But Leo, it's raining heavily. The roads are not safe and you just got back!""Listen, I know but it will be fine."
