Judah's POV"Does the meeting have to be today?" I asked Dario as I came down from the car, he nodded and I cursed. Aurelia's tone had soured my mood, why did she act that way? Was she angry that I wasn't coming home?"The investors aren't here yet, I thought it would be better if we got here early than them so we'll appear competent when they come," Dario said, he folded his arms behind his back."Appear competent, we don't need to do that shit. We don't even need their fucking money but for everything to look legit, we have to use them." I wrinkled my nose and kissed my teeth.The doorman pushed the door open and we entered, the hostess checked us in and directed us to our table. As we passed, my eyes fell on a brunette, her side profile.was familiar and when she smiled, her dimple confirmed everything I needed to kn ow. I checked her partner and couldn't believe my eyes. Aurelia and Silas Delacruz, what the fuck! Why was my wife having lunch with that buffoon?"Aurelia, what the f

Aurelia's POVI holed myself up in my room, the car ride home had been silent and awkward, Gio had picked up on my bad mood and didn't say a word. He dropped me off and I raced up to my room. For the past two hours, I had been sitting on the floor with my back against the wall, I didn't bother to change my clothes, if I was going to die, I should at least die looking my best. God, what had I done? Judah was going to kill me, he won't spare my life. My mind flashed back to how his eyes burned when he saw me with Silas. Fudge, I should have never picked up his call. I should have just ignored him, at least I wouldn't have lied to him.Silas, shoot, I forgot about him, was he okay? Was he still alive? Gosh, did Judah hurt him? I hurriedly brought out my phone and sent him a text, he didn't reply my text and I couldn't settle myself. A rap came on the door, someone tried to open the door but it didn't bulge, " Aurelia, open this door right now!" Judah bellowed. I sank deeper into the

Aurelia's POVDario took off his jacket and sat across from me. A confused Gavin took a seat next to him. The bartender arrived and I asked for a bottle of vodka with glasses"What's going on?" Gavin's curious gaze flickered from Dario to me then back to Dario.Dario pressed his lips and kept his eyes on me. Gavin groaned and smacked the hand of the chair."Oh come on, why am I always the last to find out about anything that's going on? Come on, who's cheating?" Gavin hissed, I gave Dario a small nod and he swiveled to face Gavin. He recounted the details of the restaurant, Gavin's eyes seemed to increase in size as Dario told the story."What the fuck? Aurelia, cheating? It doesn't sound like her. No way, there must be an explanation for it." The bartender returned with my requests. He positioned the bottle and glasses on the table and then hightailed out of our sight.I poured myself a full glass and downed it immediately and refilled. "Please, what makes you think that she can't c

Aurelia's POV"Camilla! Why would you say such a thing?" Hannah reprimanded her. Camilla scrunched up her forehead, she took her time to observe the menu that the waiter had brought and placed an order before turning to look at us."What! I'm just saying it as I see it. From what I can see, it was a rushed wedding, Judah must have been high or in need of something to get married so quickly. He'll probably get tired soon." My mouth gaped as I listened to my sister-in-law tear down my marriage. Judah and I might not be in love with each other but that didn't mean I wanted us to end up divorced.Hannah's nose flared and her shoulders shook with repressed anger. "Camilla, that's unacceptable, you don't even know anything about their marriage, you haven't seen Judah around Aurelia, he is head over heels in love with her. Haven't you ever heard of the phrase, don't judge a book by its cover?" Hannah's voice went up an octave.I reached over and took Hannah's hand in mine, squeezing it sli

Aurelia's POV"Aurelia, Mr. Bianco is downstairs, he's asking that you come down for dinner." Gina knocked on my door. My phone slipped from my fingers and landed on the bed. Judah was asking for me, why now? "Gina, I will be having dinner in my room." I picked up my phone and got comfortable on the bed. " Aurelia, please, Mr. Bianco doesn't look like he's in a good mood. Just come downstairs and have dinner with him." Gina pleaded, I felt bad that I was using Gina to deliver the bad news but there was no way I was coming in contact with Judah."Gina, I'm not in the mood for this. Even if Judah comes by himself, I refuse to have dinner with him."" Erm, Aurelia, erm…" The door burst open and I gasped." Gina, what the heck?" It wasn't Gina on the other side of the door. Judah stood tall and proud, his shoulders tensed and his eyes blazing fire.My mouth went dry and I searched for something I could use as a barricade in case he decided to attack. My hands found my pillow, I clutched

Judah's POVWhat the hell? I got up abruptly, causing my chair to tumble over and hitting my knee against the table. I limped after her and caught her before she climbed the stairs. I latched onto her hands and twirled her around."Aurelia, what the hell? I'm trying to apologize, I don't want our relationship to continue this way. We were on our way to becoming friends and now, I don't even know how to classify our relationship." Her eyes blazed with fire, " Friends, is this how you treat your friends? Dario is your friend, right? Do you call Dario names and accuse him of doing something without asking him?" I stilled in my spot, " I… I… no." I sighed, "See? We weren't friends, I don't know what we were but it wasn't friends."" Aurelia, you can't blame me for the way I acted, okay I know the words I said were wrong but you're my wife, I don't want to see my wife with other men. Aurelia, I'm Judah Bianco, and you're my wife, do you know who we are in LA, people know us, people fe

Aurelia's POVWhy did I bring up the idea of a date per week, Judah had informed me that today was our first date, but he refused to tell me where we were going and I was left to decide what to wear. Gosh, were we going to have dinner at some fancy restaurant, I didn't want to get dressed in comfortable clothes and we'll pull up in a Michelin star restaurant. "Aurelia, are you ready?" Diane asked after knocking, she opened the door slightly and peeked in."I have no idea what I'm going to wear. Judah refused to give me a hint and now I'm frustrated." I sat on my bed surrounded by piles of clothes. Diane bit her lip and closed the door behind her. "Wow, it looks like someone raided your room." She hopped over the clothes on the floor.I groaned and lay on the bed, " Diane, you have to help me, I don't know what to wear. I have clothes but it's almost like none of them are appropriate." Diane dropped next to me on the bed, " Don't worry, you'll be fine. Look, I'm here to help you, in

Aurelia's POVShoot, did I say something wrong? Judah's face was stiff, his eyes dull and hard."Erm, Judah, is everything fine? Did I say something wrong?" I reached over and touched his hand, he jolted and came back to reality.He cleared his throat and sat up, " I'm fine. So you met Camilla, how is she? I'm just surprised to hear that she's back from Italy. She was supposed to inform me when she was ready to return." Judah's voice had turned stern, his sister seemed like a sour topic and I regretted bringing her up. It seemed Camilla was a thorn in everyone's side."Oh, maybe she just wanted to surprise everyone. Your mom was really happy to see her. She arrived that day and came to have lunch with us. She was surprised to hear that you were married. I guess you didn't tell her." Judah sighed and rubbed his forehead, " Camilla is a very temperamental person, I made the decision not to tell her because I knew the way she would act. Camilla might be my sister but I'm not going to su

Judah's POVAurelia's mop of brown hair lay uncomfortably on the window, her styled hair had loosened while we were at the beach and she hadn't bothered to fix it up. Her long lashes flickered gently from time to time, her lips pursed then opened softly as she snored lightly. We had gotten home almost ten minutes ago but I didn't know why I couldn't bring myself to wake her up. She had fallen asleep almost immediately after we left the beach. I could see that she was uncomfortable but she looked so at peace that I couldn't dare to disturb her. It was quite late, almost midnight so I couldn't blame her for falling asleep.I was torn between waking her up and saving her from a massive neck pain tomorrow, or letting her sleep a little while longer and waking up with an aching neck. She twisted in her seat trying to find a more comfortable spot and she let out a little groan of pain. I tapped her shoulder lightly, " Hey, Aurelia, it's time to wake up. We're home." She groaned and brushe

Judah's POVGavin rubbed the back of his head nervously, " Judah, the truth is I wasn't informed as well, I found out through Gio after she had lunch with Zía Hannah and Aurelia. I assumed Aurelia had told you about it. If I knew you weren't aware, I would have told you immediately I found out." He rambled and mopped his forehead with his handkerchief. We were in an air-conditioned room so it was funny to see him sweating."It's fine but next time, I want to know immediately. It seems Camilla played all of us. I was constantly keeping track of her credit cards, how did I not know that she had bought a plane ticket and how did she escape the men I chose to keep an eye on her?" I scratched my jaw." Wait, I still can't believe Camilla is back, why? After the trouble she caused the last time she was home, you shipped her off to Italy. I thought she promised not to come back without your permission." Dario pressed his lips in a thin line."I thought so as well but it seems my sister was i
