Andrea snapped out of the awkward moment and went over to Aurora."Are you okay? Did..did he hurt you?"Thinking about it,Aurora didn't know whether he did or not.She simply shook her head.Andrea nodded."I'll get another room made for you." she said as she stared at the scattered debris all over the place before leaving the room.Aurora felt the burning gaze from Leo,she held the sheets even more tightly but that wasn't what was going on in Leo's mind.The broken items all over the place showed one thing-the torment was coming back and even greater than it had when Rachel died.He feared for the life of his brother."What did he say to you?" he asked.Aurora opened her lips to speak but thought against it and simply shook her head."Don't hide it from me." Leo implored "I need to know.Luca hasn't been feeling good since the death of his wife,he needs help psychologically." "I don't know!" declared Aurora,the atmosphere was tense and none could make sense of anything "He's... He's ine

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

Andrea knocked for the third time but no response came."Aurora," she whispered "I know you can hear me" Andrea knew she was behind the door because of her sobs which she was trying hard to suppress."Let me help you.I am sure we can figure this out," she explained "I know all you want is to leave this marriage."Andrea sighed "What if I told you there is a way?"Silence followed afterwards.After a few seconds,the door was opened and Andrea walked in stealthily closing the door behind her.She sat carefully on the ground at the foot of the bed where Aurora looked on forlornly."I don't know how you feel and I don't know if this would help but I'm gonna have to say it,Aurora" Andrea began "Everyone thinks Luca hates you but in my opinion,he doesn't"Aurora gave no reaction however,Andrea kept talking."Circumstances brought you both together but that doesn't mean nothing can work well between you two." she sighed "It's not difficult,well it might be at first but it's worth it""Luca is

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 turned back and had her head smashed by the butt of the gun.She didn't lose consciousness because Mrs Russell wasn't hard with the gun,her hand trembled with the impact and a small trail of blood seeped down from Aurora's hair."Shit!" screamed Amber "You nasty old woman! What's your problem?!" she stepped in front of Aurora while screaming at the top of her voice "You know that your son deserved whatever he got from Don Genovese! He knows she's married yet he keeps bugging her. Aurora has never forced herself to be with him! You failed to caution your sick son!""How dare you! Who the hell do you think you are?!" Mrs Russell got furious and slapped Amber across the face.Amber grabbed the lady's hair threatening to pull her down."Amber let her go!" begged Aurora.The guards came over forcing Amber to free their boss but Amber was beyond listening.Aurora held Mrs Russell's arm and the latter furiously pushed her away."Ah.." the fighting stopped and everyone's gaze turned to the

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

Luca Genovese rushed in like a mad dog, his bodyguards following from behind."Contact Doctor Smith. Tell him to get his ass down here immediately!" he shouted to one of the guards who sprang into action.Luca bursted through the doors of Mr Tate's ward. The man was struggling to breath while the nurses and doctors scurried about, following instructions and doing their best to revive the man. Eventually, he was calm but became hysterical again when he set eyes on Luca. He immediately called out to him and Luca walked to his side."Aurora." Mr Tate called with tears slipping down his cheeks "Aurora please.""Mr Tate, you need to be strong. She is counting on you." Luca tried to encourage the man but he shook his head."I..I have nothing more to live for.""You do." Luca replied "I've sent for the best doctor, please hang on" Luca turned to leave but Mr Tate grabbed his hand, stopping him from leaving."You..you have tried for me, Don." his eyes shimmered with tears "I know how much yo

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

It was night when Aurora awoke. Andrea who was resting by the side of the bed was elated to see her awake. She thought carefully before opening her mouth to speak."Aurora," she whispered as she stared down at her "Are you okay?" she asked however Aurora said nothing. She continued to stare at the ceilings while bold tears fell from the corner of her eyes.Andrea felt heartbroken to see Aurora in such state and sadly when both her and Luca were already trying to work things out."Aurora, I'm sorry for..for your loss." Andrea wiped the tears on her face "And I want you to know t-that it's not Luca's fault. Luca really did everything humanly possible to help him."Andrea waited for her response but saw that she wasn't going to speak. Her gaze was still fixed on the ceilings while tears continued to pour from her eyes."Please stop crying, for the sake of your kids." Andrea said but that didn't change a thing. She got up and was about to leave when she saw Leo standing by the door.She w

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."
