An Unwilling Union Chapter 11
Aurelia's POV Gina and Opal had helped me get acquainted with my new crutches, Diane had tried to force me to stay in bed but there was no way I was going to lie in bed when Judah was coming home for dinner. I cleaned myself up and dressed in a simple olive off-shoulder dress that reached my calves. I did my hair up in a simple bun and waited in the kitchen with Diane."I don't know why you decided to put yourself through all this stress, you should be lying comfortably in that bed and letting us take care of you but no, you're here in the kitchen," Diane grumbled as she stirred the food she was cooking."Until I go insane, right? Diane, I can't stand being alone right now, I'm in pain, I need to be distracted." She twisted her lips and focused on her food. "You look good, I've never seen you dress up like this for dinner. What happened to your comfy t-shirt and sweatpants?" Diane raised an eyebrow, I swiftly looked down at my phone."Dress up, please, I just threw this one. I can't

Aurelia's POVDinnertime was hell now, Judah had been coming home every day for over a week and we always had dinner together, we didn't utter a word to each other. He still gave me irritated looks every time my desserts came and I doubled my Intake of sweets just to spite him. "Dinner is served." Opal knocked on my door, I got up and pulled on my blue dotted tank top and shorts. "Thanks, Opal, I'll be there soon." I walked carefully to the door, I had ditched my crutches and was walking on my own now but with a little difficulty. Judah was already at the table when I arrived, he hadn't waited for me and was already eating, jerk. He glanced at me and pressed his lip in a tight line. Good, I had stopped making an effort in my dressing and chose to only dress for me.I sat down and dug into my food vigorously, I had set my phone's timer for 10 minutes and I wanted to see if I could finish eating in ten minutes. "Do you have somewhere to be? Why are you eating like you're being chase

Judah's POV"What do you mean you can't accept it? This is a black card, it's very rare and expensive. It will get you anywhere you need to go and anything you need to buy." I waved the envelope in front of her. "I know but I have my own money, I don't need yours. It might not be that much but it's okay. I don't feel comfortable taking money from you." Who the hell was this woman, most women would jump at the opportunity to spend my money and she was rejecting it. I was beginning to get a migraine, which was now a usual thing for me ever since I married Aurelia. She was probably just playing hard to get.I drew in a deep breath and let it out. " Aurelia, I'm your husband, it's my duty to provide for you, I have a lot of money and it's not going to finish just because you went out and bought something you like. So take the card and use it, if I find out you don't use the card, I'm going to be pissed and you don't want to know what happens when I'm pissed." She hesitated for a minute

Aurelia's POVI took a small sip of my wine and gripped the glass tightly, deciding to ignore her. I turned to Mrs. Williams, " So, what's on the group's agenda? Where are we volunteering? A soup kitchen, an orphanage?" The women shared looks and burst into laughter, Mrs. Williams finished laughing and wiped at her eyes."Oh honey, so young, so naive. We don't actually do the work, we just sign checks and send it off to the different places they need to go. Right now, we're donating a new gym to Blackstone Prep, then we're going to send a check to an orphanage somewhere in Africa, we're going to spin, and wherever the bottle lands is the country we'll send it to." I was gobsmacked, I looked around the room so if anyone felt the way I did but they were all the same. Blackstone Prep was one of the most expensive schools in LA, why the hell did they need a new gym, and they were going to play Spin the Bottle to choose where to volunteer next? Oh my gosh, I needed to get out before I g

Aurelia's POV" Excuse me, could you repeat what you said?" I wasn't sure I heard him properly." I said we're having dinner at my parents' house. My mom didn't let me breathe all through my trip, she found out I had gotten married and was very angry. They are demanding to meet you so please do your best not to embarrass me." Judah turned and walked out of the room. I froze. What the heck had just happened? "Diane, did you hear what I just heard?" I turned to look at her.She wiped her hands and gave me a sympathetic pat on the back."I did. There's no time to start deciphering his words, you only have an hour to get ready. You're meeting your in-laws for the time, you have to look your best. And no, I'm not saying this because of what Mr Bianco said, it will be better for you if they like you." I hurried out of the kitchen and up the stairs to my room. I took a shower and had to look for what to wear, I settled on a short patterned wrap dress with red platform heels. I did my hair

Judah's POVI took my time and ate like there was all the time in the world. Like my father was waiting to hear me apart. I raised my head and saw Aurelia staring at me with her mouth open, I gave her a smirk and continued eating. Mom quietly ate her food but her body tensed up. I finished my food and drank the remaining part of my wine. Standing up, I thanked Mom for the delicious dinner and went to my father's home office.I knocked on the door and waited for his response. He did and I entered the room. My father, The great capo dei capi, sat at his desk with a glass of whiskey in hand and rage radiating from him. "Capo, you wanted to see me." I stood erect, my hands folded at my back. "You sure took your time." He said, twirling the glass. I kept quiet and watched him."Why, Judah, why? Of all the men in this world, you chose Giovanni Gianni's daughter, that snake, that slime bag. You couldn't just find another girl to marry." He grated his teeth and gorged down the golden liqui

Aurelia's POVThe air in the room changed as Judah pushed back from the staircase and headed towards me, I saw the fire in his eyes and I quivered. Not wanting to show fear, I stood my ground and waited until he stood in front of me. His right hand grabbed my waist and drew me closer to him while his left hand gripped my face, tinting it up. I drew in a sharp breath, scared for my life."You have quite a loud mouth on you. Tsk, tsk, what am I going to do about this mouth." I kept quiet, our bodies were pressed against each other and I didn't dislike it. I could smell his scent, a perfect blend of his cologne and spice. "You can't say anything anymore, what happened to that chatterbox? What happened to little Miss I need to know everything." His voice went low and his eyes darkened. His hand left my chin and went down to my neck, he traced a line from my thought down to the little plunge that my neckline gave. He left my neckline and gripped the knot where I tied my dress."I coul

Judah's POV"How was dinner with your parents?" Dario asked when the room had cleared up, leaving him and Gavin."Terrific, my mom loved Aurelia and my father hated her. He called her trash and said he never wanted to see her in his house again. Did I mention how terrific it was? I had the time of my life." I chugged down the burning liquor and hissed."That bad huh?" Dario poured me another shot, I gave him a look and chugged down the hard liquid."My father is pissed that I won, he doesn't like to be taken by surprise. He was even more pissed that I married his enemy's daughter. I'm sorry if her father took your father's love, Dario but marrying Aurelia was worth it, my father almost had a clogged coronary when I mentioned Giovanni Gianni's name. I never knew he could get so red in the face. I would pay good money to have that look framed, my joy went downhill quickly when he started calling Aurelia names. I won't stand for anyone disrespecting my wife." My grip tightened against th
