Raising Aurora

v .

M a t t e o

"Ti amiamo e abbatteremo quei toui muri. Dormi bene sorella." (We love you and will break down those walls of yours. Sleep well sister.) I whispered in Aurora's ear before she dozed off.

Looking around the plane, I see everyone with a different expression on their faces.

Sadness

Confusion

Anger

Wonder

Happiness

And me? Hate. I absolutely hate myself. She hates us. I can tell. We sent her away.

I glance back at Aurora and examine her features. She has freckles on her nose and all her features are calm. Like she has no care in the world.

She stirs in her sleep everyone looks her way alarmed.

After staring at her like a creep I get up to go to the bathroom but get caged in by the bitchy flight attendant.

One second she's on me, next second she's on the wall being choked.

A u r o r a

I stir in my sleep and see everyone either asleep or working.

"I'm going to the bathroom, be back in a sec." I tell Aryc.

I walk back to look for the bathroom and see the flight attendant caging in Matteo.

I run up to her and rip her off.

"Jesus, some people just don't listen do they?" I say sarcastically

She starts trembling in fear.

"cat got your tongue?" I question in a dumb tone.

She starts shaking her head and trying to rip my hands off. Oh shit she's turning purple, can't keep going on for long.

"Now listen, your going to pack your shit. When we land in Italy you will be gone. Yes?" I say harshly with a creepy smile on my face.

She nods her head and goes into the pit. I brush off imaginary dust from my shirts and turn around with a smirk on my face.

"Well that was quite eventful wasn't it?" I question happily.

I look around and see everyone showing faces of proudness and amusement. They all nod their heads and look everywhere but my eyes.

"I hate it when people don't have eye contact with me. Look at me when you need to say something or don't say something at all. Ok?" I say coldly while glaring.

They all flinch back and make eye contact with me. Why the fuck did they flinch, their the Italian mafia?

I really need to go to the bathroom, and then finish some work for my company Rose Industries.

I walk away without sparing them a second glance.

After using the bathroom, I find my seat and pull out my MacBook and iPad. I never actually go inside the office. The only person who knows what I look like is Noah and my assistant. My assistant Oliva, poses as the CEO because I still haven't shown my face. She does all my meeting for me I just tell her what to say.

Apparently Romano Companies has been trying to get a meeting with the CEO but I kept telling Olivia to decline the meeting every time. Don't need no suspicions.

While answering emails I get a call from Olivia.

"Je suis pres de ma famille, parle en francais." I tell olivia while on speaker. (I am near my family, speak in French)

I ignore the stares and listen to what Olivia has to say.

"Les Romano sont tres persistants lors de cette reunion et continue de spammer la réception. Souhaitez-vous que je continue refuser?" She says quickly. (The Romano's are very persistent on this meeting and they keep spamming the reception desk. Would you like for me to keep declining?)

" Oui, continuez à décliner. Je trouverai le temps de leur parler. Merci Olivia." I say hanging up not waiting for an answer. (Yes, keep declining. I will find the time to actually talk to them. Thank you Olivia.)

Continuing my work I ignore the stares from my family and keep answering some email and requests for Rose Industries.

After some time the captain tells us to buckle up and brace for landing.

"Signore e Signori siamo arrivati in Italia." She says in a tired voice. (Ladies and Gentlemen we have arrived in Italy.)

I nod my head and get ready to leave the airplane.

We exit the plane and see 4 SUV'S lined up to head back home.

Hopping into the car Valentino and Stefano look at me and then turn away. If they have a question they should just ask it.

I tap Valentino's shoulder and nod my head towards Stefano.

"Just ask the question, I know you have one." I say harshly

"D-Do you think that you could maybe hang out with us when we get back?" Valentino asks.

Stefano just glares at me and I glare back. Evidently I win the match and look back at Valentino.

"When your dumbass brother decides to stop being a bitch then maybe, but as of now hell fucking no." I say coldly then stare out the window.

L e o n a r d o

After seeing what Aurora said to Valentino. I turn around and look out the window awkwardly.

I get a call from Alexei Ivanov wondering if he would like to have a meeting when we get back.

I answer yes and proceed to stare at my wife and 2 daughters.

2 of them look so peaceful, you can guess who the not so peaceful one is. Aurora.

We've been driving for around 2 hrs.' and are beginning to pull up to the mansion. I see guards stationed everywhere and on alert. The German Mafia has been causing problems and we fixed them but, you never know.

A u r o r a

All the guards straighten when they see the 4 SUV'S pull into the front of the house.

We pull up to the front and can I say DAMN, this house is big as fuck.

It's white with marble steps walking up and gardens everywhere on the front.

We get out and stand in front of the door.

"Well here goes nothing." I mutter under my breath tiredly.
