Sweet Revenge

CHAPTER 31

We both enter a nice penthouse. Something that I clearly expected, well it's Michael. I sat in the sofa while he goes to the bar area and get us a drink.

"Here, I know I surprised you Ivy and I just didn't expect you to be there." He spoke as he hands me a glass of wine.

"Call me Aurora, Ivy is dead for quite some time now. And yes you did surprised me, I thought you're dead?" I spoke then take a sip of my glass of wine.

"Oh yeah Aurora. I'm glad you seem good now. Well what happened was I escaped from Freddie. Someone helped me, I hid in Australia for some years. I just came here a couple of months ago. And I'm back and would never leave again." He said smiling. I'm happy he's back. Even if I'm mad that he left and didn't even say a thing but the only thing that matters is that he's back. Though the thing he did is just something that I've done, we faked our deaths. Ironic.

"By the way, why are you in the bar alone? Where's that asshole Antonio?" He asks, that man oh yes he's an asshole. Then I remembered, I quickly check my phone to see tons of missed calls. He probably have checked every single corner of New York as of now, well I don't care. Let me enjoy this moment. I turned off the phone once again then tossed it to the table.

"We fought, there's a lot of things that have happened. And it seems like this whole night deserves this conversation." I spoke. We both talked the whole night and lose track of time. I told him every single information that he needed to know and he do too. He's now a CEO of an company I never heard before, well maybe I didn't just checked those that are not really important.

Since our talk took hours I just decided to sleep in his place, and to pissed Antonio more. The long I'm out of that house, the better.

"Well here's my guest room, if you need anything just knock to that door." Michael said as he point to the door beside this room.

"Sure, Thank you Michael. Goodnight." I said closing the door.

"Goodnight My Aurora." He shouted. Which made me giggle, I'll take back what I said earlier, maybe this day isn't that bad. I lay on the bed as I let my eyes rest.

I woke up and wash my face, and it seems like Michael bought clothes for me to wear and so I did take a bath and wear them. It's just a typical shirt and pants so it's okay. I left the room and search for him, I smell something delicious so I went to where it is coming from. I saw a broad back facing me. It's Michael, in his sweatpants. I can't help but blush seeing a man shirtless and cooking. Something I never seen before except in movies. It's something that really attracts a woman like me.

Am I dreaming? I zoned out when Michael turned off the stove and turn around. "Oh fuck! Aurora, you scared the shit out of me." He screams almost spilling the bacons on the pan which makes me burst out of laughter.

"Good morning." I said and take a sit on the chair.

"Good morning my Aurora, how was your sleep? You want some coffee, tea or me?" He asks smirking. This man is hilarious.

"My sleep was good, thanks for this clothes by the way. I'll just return them soon, and I'll take coffee since it seems more interesting than you." I said in a sarcastic way which makes him chuckle. He gets two plates from the cupboard and put it on the table then he serve two bacons on each plate and some egg as well.

He walks away and gets the cup of coffee from the coffee machine. "You don't need to give my clothes back, you can have it. And you're right, coffee is good but I would love to disagree about me being not so interesting, because I am so interesting y'know." He spoke as he sat besides me. I kept my gaze to his face since it wouldn't be that nice if I look somewhere else.

"Let's eat." I said, just to break that intense look from him. I shove the bacon in my mouth and I couldn't help but moan on how this shit tasted so good.

"Aren't Antonio looking for you? That man would probably be worried." He reminded.

"Hmm, I'll be home later." I replied. As much as I want to stay here, I cannot. I know that man would go insane if I went missing for such a long time.

"Would you want me to bring you there?" He asks. Well sure I do, but I don't think if Antonio will be that happy if he sees Michael.

"Sure." I said. We both ate our breakfast talking about stuff. It seems like the last night's talk wasn't good enough for the seven years we both have lived without each other.

Now it's already one in the afternoon, we just watched movies and ate things. He's such a good cook, I joke about hiring him to be my personal chef but he refuses since he is only willing to be somebody's personal chef and that somebody is his future wife. How sweet of him.

Let's go?" He asks, I picked up my phone and shoved it to my pockets.
I nod then stood up, we went to the parking lot where his car is parked. Our drive took us almost two hours since it's very traffic. The car stopped revealing the facade of the house.

The guard didn't open the gate since the car isn't familiar so I have to roll down the windows to reveal myself and he did what I expected, he quickly open the gate and let us in.

We walk through the garden until we are both in front of the big door. I pushed it and there we see all of them sitting in the living room. Our presence took their attention.

"Aurora! Where have you been? Antonio is fucking mad, we can't do anything. His room is a mess, you wouldn't love to see him right now." Matteo shouted as he walk towards me then turn his eyes to the man beside me. He literally scan Michael from head to toe.

"Where is he?" I asks.

"He's in the warehouse as always, he just kept himself busy. Should I call him?" He asks and I nod. He took out his phone and dial Antonio's number, it rings for a couple of second then he answers.
Matteo put the phone on speaker for us to hear.

"I'm fucking busy Matteo." Antonio spoke sounding annoyed.

"She's here." Said by Matteo.

"I'll be there." He said then hungs up the phone.

We all spend our time in the basement while waiting for him. As we all are casually watching Antonio enters the room that made us all dead silent.

"Where have you been?" He said looking so pissed, walking towards me but then stopped when he saw Michael sitting beside me.

"Holy fuck! Michael?!" He cursed. His face shocked as if seeing a ghost.

"Long time no see mother fucker. I'm glad you still remember me." Michael smile then step forward to hug Antonio who's frozen.

"You fucking asshole! You're alive?" He asks.

"Do I look like a ghost?" Michael respond sarcastically.

They both catch up and he doesn't even speak to me. The audacity of that man, well I thought there would be a war when they both see each other but turned out they didn't and he seems to forget his madness towards me which is good.

The whole day was fun, we just played all day and talk nonstop. I just hoped this is what I'll be having in my life, a normal day.
