Aurelia's POV "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so clumsy." He steadied me and let go slowly." Much better?" He asked, I nodded and adjusted my dress. I was sure my face was red with how hard I was blushing. He smiled brightly, "And don't be embarrassed that you fell in my arms. It's not every day that a beautiful, exquisite woman in an impeccable dress, falls in them. They were very disappointed to let you go." My my, what a charmer. If this were the 1800s I would have swooned."Thank you. You are very handsome, yourself." I have him a shy smile, he laughed and I could almost swear he stood taller. He was more than handsome, he was gorgeous, and his dirty blonde hair was newly cut and combed backwards. He had green eyes that I could die in and an amazing smile. He was dressed in an impeccable black suit."I'm Silas DeLaCruz and my beautiful companion is?" He stretched out his hand and I put mine on it, expecting a handshake but instead, he kissed the back of my palm. Wow, I was not expecting

CHAPTER 22
Aurelia's POVI sucked in a deep breath and in that moment, I wanted to get back at him. So he could flirt with other women but I wasn't. I sighted a volunteer table at the corner of the room, I walked towards it and saw that it was a signup sheet for people to volunteer as foster families for some animals. I had always wanted to have a pet when I was young but my father refused it, he didn't like animals at all. If there was one thing I knew about Judah was that he hated mess and who was messier than a puppy? I smirked and picked up a pen, volunteering to foster a cat and a dog. His quiet, clean house was about to get a whole lot of mess.I returned to our table with a satisfied smile on my face. Judah had a scowl on his face when he saw. It felt good to know that I brought annoyance to his life. The beautiful lady followed his gaze and looked at me, she beamed and gave me a small wave, what the hell."Hi, I'm Gemma Bianco, Gio's sister. He has told me so much about you. It's so nic

Aurelia's POVJudah went silent for a minute, " How do you know about that?" He asked shocked." Do you think I'm dumb, I've known since we had dinner with your parents. I know your father hates me because of my father and because he stole my mother from Dario's father and you deliberately wanted to marry from my family to spite your father. You must think that you're slick huh, you promised my father, business deals while what you actually needed was to get revenge on your father." Judah stood stunned. I sniffled, sat on my bed, took off my uncomfortable shoes, and loosened my braid. "You listened to my conversation with my father?" He asked, I gave him a disbelieving look, he wasn't even feeling guilty about his actions. He was really stone-cold."Is that all you got from what I said? You're unbelievable, how else was I ever going to know what was going on, you never tell me anything. I don't regret it, I will do it a thousand times again. You know what you're not worth my time, I

Aurelia's POVThe next morning I struggled to get ready, he said to dress comfortably, what the heck did that mean, comfortably for me was sweats, after my shower last night, I realized that Judah had decorated my neck and chest with hickeys so there was no way I could wear anything revealing. I pulled out a pair of high-waist mom jeans with side slits, my eyes landed on a black cropped turtleneck top. I put them on and checked myself in the mirror, I liked how I looked. I brushed my hair back and applied some lips gloss then wore my white sneakers.My look was giving comfortable and chic, I liked it. It was perfect for a clubhouse. I grabbed my purse, opened my door, and almost bumped into Judah. "Wow, careful there." His hands went to my waist to steady me. Judah let go of me, much to my disappointment, and stepped back. His eyes swiped over me and he smiled to himself then frowned"So how do I look? Is this appropriate enough to meet your men?" I fiddled with my purse." You look

Aurelia's POV"Oh, I get it. I hope the girls aren't being forced to do anything they don't want to." I looked at the girls practicing with the pole. "Not at all, they know what they are doing. Some of my girls don't even engage in the VIP stuff. They will rather just dance and I'm fine with that. Trust me, if anyone tries to harass my girls, they will be walking to their death." Imelda had a fierce look on, my heart gladdened that she cared about the ladies working for her.We went to the third floor which was the gambling center, we didn't waste too much time there as I wasn't really interested in that part of the business, then we went to the top floor which was where all the magic happened.We walked into the quiet reception, a young lady in her twenties sat at the desk, she was on the phone and typing on her laptop. "Yes, Mr. Giorgio, I'll let Mr. Bianco know that you're still interested in him investing in your company. No, he's not around, he'll call you immediately he's free

Judah's POVThe silence echoed and for a minute, I felt my heart thumping against my chest."I like her, we didn't get to talk much but I can already see that she's kind and funny," Dario said." I agree with Dario, if she was able to get into Sabrina's good books, she has got to be great. Also, Gemma and Gio talk about her all the time so I think she's okay." Gavin added.I let out a breath of air that I didn't know I had been holding."Okay, cool." We arrived at my father's office building, tension returned to my shoulder. I strolled into the building, moving like I had all the time in the world and that nothing could affect me.Dad's office.was locked and his assistant directed us to the conference room, I took one look at the scared look in the assistant's eyes and knew that today was going to be long."Where is that bastard? Does he think that I have all the time in the world? Our familia is undergoing this tough time and he's gallivanting." Dad's voice boomed from the conferenc

Aurelia's POVI blatantly ignored Judah's questions and signed the document. The guy handed over the carriers and gave me a list of instructions for the pets. He must have sensed the hostility in the room because he rambled off his words and dumped the animals with me then ran away.Gerald ran away as well after taking a good look at Judah. I placed the carriers on the floor and let out the animals, the sleeping kitten was pure black and was the cutest thing ever. She looked just like Salem from Sabrina the teenage witch. I scooped her up in one arm and the puppy had chestnut brown fur and a white patch on his head. He was cute as well, he grunted and lapped at my finger."Aurelia, I'm going to assume you didn't hear me the first time, what the hell is going on here? Who are these animals and what are they doing in my house?!" Judah's voice boomed. He dropped his bag on the ground."They are our new babies. I volunteered for us to be foster parents for them before they are put in home

Aurelia's POV"Sabrina, I can't believe you're coming with us, I'm so happy I won't be alone in New York." I hugged her, her chestnut brown hair was tied up in a ponytail identical to mine and she had put in purple streaks, they made her look so cool and I was jealous."It took a lot of convincing and groveling but I'm here now. I took your advice and decided to start doing what I want. This is my first step in proofing that I'm not just a pretty face and I can be useful to the familia." She said as we broke the hug. " I'm glad, it's good that you're doing this. I'm sure Judah will see how much you can help his administration." Nico opened the trunk and brought out our things. He handed me the carriers."Who are these cuties?" Sabrina bent and stuck a finger in Pooh's carrier, he responded by licking her finger."I'm a new mama, they are mine and Judah's. We're fostering them. The dog is Pooh and the kitty is Winnie." Sabrina laughed, " Like Winnie the Pooh, that's so cheesy."My sh

Aurelia's POV Maybe I had lost my hearing or my ears were hearing strange things because Judah just said we were sharing a room. How the heck is that possible?"You're joking, right? Why the heck are we sharing a room? We've never done that before." I stepped back and supported myself with the vanity table."Well, it's never too late to start." Judah shrugged, he placed his luggage on the bed and started bringing out his clothes."Judah, don't give me that sass, explain what happened. We don't have the kind of relationship that can make us share a room." I was finding it difficult to breathe and my vision was starting to cloud.Judah paid me no mind, he walked to the closet and began to arrange his clothes in it."Judah, I asked you a question." My voice came out croaked." Look, Aurelia, I didn't do this intentionally. Sabrina came onboard suddenly and I didn't have time to prepare for her arrival so she took your room and now you're sharing with me." He snapped. He moved back to th

Chapter 30
Judah's POVEverything stood still as I tried to process what Sabrina was showing us. Air seemed to have been knocked out of my lungs, I steadied myself with the table and had to sit down." Tell me that's not my brand new limited edition Giorgio Armani tie?" I looked at Sabrina then at Aurelia then at Sabrina again.Sabrina swallowed and hurriedly headed off the dog and tie to Aurelia then ran out of the room.Aurelia bit her lip and swallowed, " Judah, I'm so sorry, I really am. I'll get you a new tie, I swear, I look up the website and order another one." She looked down at the dog and stroked his fur."Pooh, bad boy, very bad boy. You don't pee on ties or any other clothing items. I'm very disappointed." The dog paid her no mind and just burrowed in her arms.So she could correct the dog in such a soft and warm voice but if I did something wrong, she could scream the house down. I glared at the creature, eating up all her love."That's not going to work, it's called limited editi
