ADELINE
Aurora pushed me down back on my chair as she cornered me in the now empty classroom. It was lunch break and all students had left but before I could, aurora had me cornered.
I looked at her with confusion written all over my face but seeing the cheeky grin on her face made me …… realize where this was gonna go.
“ aurora- “
“ tell me everything “
My eyes widened slightly at her words. Everything? Did she know about everything- everything me and Luciano did-
“ i-its nothing- “
“ oh come on babe. Don’t be so shy. I mean we both share the same type of secret and we’re best friends. Like how cool “
She excitedly clapped her hands making me blink my eyes at her in disbelief. The fuck she thinks is so exciting about this. We both were in love with people who didn’t care about ‘love’.
“ I never thought my uncle would be having you as his wife “
My eyes widened at her words and my cheeks flushed. Me as Luciano’s wife? The thought sent shivers down my spine but A rush of excitement filled me too.
“ now will you tell me”
Aurora smiled and held my hand as if to give me the courage to speak up to her.
“ babe. You really don’t need to feel embarrassed or anything. Love happens and that’s what really love is. It doesn’t care who the person is and just happens “
My heart skipped a beat as her words bloomed my heart. Did she love Christian that much to understand love that deeply? My heart swelled with pride and courage as I opened my mouth to speak when suddenly…… a voice took our attention.
I turned to look and my eyes widened when I saw ………
“ Asher! “
Before I could process anything, he rushed over and threw his arm around my neck pulling me in for a tight hug. A small smile appeared on my lips as I hugged him back.
“ dude. Manners “
Aurora scolded him to which calux hit her head from back. Asher and calux, our friends from high school. We weren’t close back then but became really close friends in university after seeing familiar faces in the university.
They both were brothers and had gone on a family trip to Europe but now they were back.
“ did you miss me ? “
I pulled back and looked at him. He was such a nice guy who’d help me out in the university whether it was helping me get away from boys or it was me needing something.
“ what were you both talking? Seems serious “
Calux pulled a chair and settled down next to aurora making her roll her eyes as I gulped the lump forming in my throat.
“ nothing you both need to know “
Aurora sassed making Calux to glare at her as he pinched her arm making her yelp before smacking his head. I chuckled seeing their everyday banter and looked at Asher who was already looking at me.
I frowned and tilted my head making him smile as he suddenly took out something from behind and a small smile appeared on my lips seeing a beautiful golden locket with an initial ‘ A ‘.
“ a-Asher- “
He smiled and leaned his head close to mine before locking the chain around my neck. His face so close that I stopped breathing for seconds.
“ how could I forget you ? “
“ the heck- where is my gift? “
Aurora slammed her palm on the table and calux chuckled before taking out something from his pocket too.
“ we had to get you something too even when I did not want to- “
Another smack on his forehead. Ouch. This one might had been the worse one.
“ fuck! “
He stood up angrily and before he could say anything, Aurora prepared her fist to attack him again making him stop in his tracks.
Such a poor baby.

I stepped inside of the mansion with an angry aurora. She and calux fought but it was nothing new. They always quarreled all the time. I chuckled at her mumbling some words, probably cursing calux.
“ calm down- “
“ who does he think he is! How dare he do that- “
“ do what? “
My heart stopped and my eyes enlarged slightly not expecting him to hear us. Aurora stopped too and my hands trembled slightly. Reason? Well, our family did not like us having male friends.
Maybe they were worried because what the world has become or it was something else but they did not like and if they found out about Asher and calux, we would be so fucking dead.
I looked at Aurora slowly as she looked at me. We both gulped and our faces were pale. We both slowly turned around and …… my eyes caught his. He stood there with his hands in his pocket.
Dressed in a plain black shirt with sleeves rolled up showing his dark inked arms making my breath hitch. My heart started beating rapidly watching his hairs slightly disheveled.
He raised his eyebrows making me blink rapidly. He did something to me with just his gaze. Beside him, Christian stood who watched me and aurora with the eye of an eagle.
“ who did what ? “
I gulped and looked at aurora and noticed her as nervous as I was. My lips pressed in the thin line as I struggled to come up with something when ………
“ aurora “
She widened her eyes hearing her name from my mouth and looked at me before holding my arm as if to stop me from telling them.
“ no one did nothing. We were talking about …… the guy- “
“ what guy? “
Christian’s voice dropped low and scary as I watched Luciano’s expressions hardened. I blinked and looked everywhere but him.
“ the guy in the store. He… he messed up our order “
I slowly sighed in relief.
“ How dare you both go out alone!? “
Me and Aurora both jumped hearing Christian’s angry voice. Christian was someone really close to our family and just a family member and as possessive as …… any man in the family.
“ t-that- “
I fiddled with the hem of my dress taken aback. Well shit. Now we were trapped in our own lie.
“ w-well…… a-Adeline wanted coffee so- “
My eyes widened in horror as aurora pushed me in front of the truck. My head shot up as I looked at her and then at Luciano to check his reaction but his expressions remained hardened.
“ Go to your rooms “
He ordered in his hoarse angry voice and aurora held my arm pulling me as we quickly rushed out of there before they investigated or scolded us more. We rushed to my room and I stared at aurora in disbelief.
“ why would you push me under the bus “
Suddenly, she chuckled.
“ why are you laughing- “
“ to bring them close to us “
I frowned. Close to us-how
“ to make them realize our feelings for them “
“ but its wrong aurora. We both know and our family wont accept it either. More importantly they won’t “
My heart clenched at my own words but that was the truth. In our family, men did not know the importance of love. Wealth, power and family came first before love and that ruined us.
“ don’t you want him so badly? “
I looked at aurora. Do I want him? Yes. I am in love. Madly in love and I want him so bad. I looked at aurora as she smiled and gave my hand a tight squeeze as if to assure me.
“ then we have to make a move. It doesn’t have to be them to make the first move. We have to make them realize our feelings. We can’t lose them “
I blinked as tears collected in my eyes. I did not want to lose Luciano. Now it’s not about waiting, It was time to make him mine.
“ how ? “
I asked and Aurora smirked making me tense but I was ready to make Luciano mine. Whatever we shared, I knew it was different and he must realize it too because now I want him badly.
