"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 look up to??" her lips trembled "When you took me to your bed with the most sweetest words weren't you thinking of your future?!"She points at her belly."You call this a piece of shit?? Your flesh and blo-""Enough! Not another word from that filthy mouth of yours,Aurora!" he cut her short"That thing isn't mine!" he argued "If you can't find the owner there's no harm in getting it off"Aurora gritted her teeth.His words and lackadaisical attitude made her wonder if he ever loved her.She took a deep breath and stared at him."We can go for a DNA." she suggested "After all there's no harm in finding out the truth""No!" he refused "You are leaving my house this instant and you're never coming back!" her grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the house."Again,get it off before the Don comes for you! At least you'd be the to kill your child rather than his brutal hands!"He slammed the door on her face.....There was Amber Hill,who had just left Matteo's place.She was supposed to be at her best friend's wedding but she didn't want any problem at all.Especially with the fact that it was a Mafia's wedding.For this reason she had stayed away.She picked up her phone to call Aurora when another call came through.It was Mr Tate.She was surprised as she swiped the answer button."Mr Tate?""Amber." his voice was weak and barely audible "I know Aurora is at your place."He paused and added "Please,please ask her to return here.Her family is in great trouble!""Mr Tate.." began Amber "I have no idea what you're talking about.""Again,why should Aurora be here? Isn't today her wedding?"She heard him cough violently coupled with different noises in the background."Aurora..ran away"Amber got up on her feet abruptly."What??!" she exclaimed.However before she could say another word,the line went dead.Considering his weak and low voice and also the heavy noise in the background it was more than obvious that the family are indeed in deep trouble.She called the number again to understand the situation better,however the call didn't go throughShe immediately dialed Aurora's number,with a thousand thoughts in her head."Crazy bitch! How could you do this without informing me!"The call went through, fortunately."Aurora!!" she instantly screamed into the phone. "Where are you! How could you!! Your father-""I am in front of your door." came Aurora's quiet reply.Amber went over and pulled it open after tossing her phone on the couch.She was glad that her mother wasn't home."Aurora!" she exclaimed as she pulled her in.After which she began to shut the windows and the doors."What are you doing?" Aurora looked puzzled.Amber didn't answer until she had locked everywhere properly and turned on the air conditioner."I can't believe you're asking that, Aurora!" she blurted "Don't you realize what you've just done?""Tch!" she hissed "You just embarrassed the whole Genovese's family!""Oh please.." Aurora really didn't think it that way "Y'all are making it seem like I'm the first girl to run away from her wedding!""Aurora,you don't understand the situation at hand! Don't you see that I have locked all the windows and doors in case the Mafia comes!""Even if he comes what would he do?? Pull me down to the cathedral and force me to marry him??!" retorted Aurora.Amber was surprised."You should at least call your father" she suggested "He looked frightened when he called me"Aurora sighed as she leaned on the chair."Not now Amber.I don't want to deal with anyone now.You..you wouldn't believe what happened"Amber lowered on the couch."Aurora,are you okay?""Mateo..Mateo broke up with me" Aurora confessed.Amber's mouth dropped open."I understand that I'd be getting married to the Don and that he wouldn't want anything to do with me..but-""I am pregnant" declared Aurora.The shock of such news sent Amber on her feet."Oh my God, Aurora" she exclaimed silently "Didn't you tell your father before he staged your wedding with the Don?"She shook her head as she wiped her tears."If I had, he'd have probably forced me to..to abort it""Besides, Mateo didn't accept it.He..he denied it""Shit!" exclaimed a furious Amber "I will kill him when next I meet him! How could he do this to you?!"She lowered herself to a distraught Aurora."I had been to his place earlier today.If I had known I'd have hit him so hard he would only see stars for a minute!""Don't cry anymore,Aurora." Amber sympathized "What are you going to do now?""Anything but marrying the-" the sound of her ringtone interrupted her.It was her father.Aurora refused to pick however Amber urged her to.She swiped the answer button.The background was utterly quiet in contrast to what Amber had earlier heard.Aurora refused to talk first.Truth was she couldn't find the right words to say."Aurora Tate" came the voice that sent shivers down the spines of both women seated closely together."I have your devastated father here with me along with your sick mother" his voice was deep and enchanting."You have no less than ten minutes to get to the address I have sent to you.""Anything later than that..and you will meet the corpses of your beloved parent.""You bastard!" screamed Aurora"I'm worse than that"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
Yes she did.In fact,back to the party.She would deal with Eddy later."For a while I thought you had somehow given in to your new husband's demands,eh?" taunted Ethan."Step aside and let me pass" ordered Aurora "I have no time for this"He pulled her arm back."Let go!" she snapped."You look really beautiful" he commented,ignoring the killing stare she was giving him.While she was doing that,he shamelessly ogled at every inch of her body."Wow!" he exclaimed hilariously "Did the Don really let you get out with this?"Aurora snatched her arm away and then sighed."Can you please not mention him?" she looked serious "I'm begging you for the first time,Ethan"He smirked."On one condition"She cocked her brows."Be my girl tonight"She sighed."C'mon Aurora.." he pressured the moment he saw her hesitate "I promise not to exercise my boundaries.It's just for tonight, alright?"She slowly gave in and nodded reluctantly.He placed her hand over his elbow and they walked into the restau
