PART 149

Sofia went towards Antonia's room this time. She saw Antonia talking calmly to Aurora. She came in without saying anything.

" Do you think what you have done today with that innocent boy is okay Antonia?" She asked. Aurora and Antonia both looked at her.

" We can talk about that later Sofia. Please?" Aurora said.

" Of course! Why not? We can talk after that poor boy is done tolerating all the pain she has caused him right?" Sofia said chuckling bitterly.

" Sofia. Please It's not the correct time." Aurora said with pleading eyes.

" No Aurora. It is. Don't try to hide her faults. She slapped him without any reason! His cheek has got her hand print. How can you be this much insensible Antonia?" Sofia asked with irritation.

" Is he okay now?" Antonia mumbled.

"Oh I wish he were okay! But he is not Antonia! How can you insult someone's love like that? I didn't know you are that much inhuman. That boy loves you from the bottom of his heart. But what you did? You literally broke him today!" Sofia said with a loud voice.

" Sofia calm down. Sit here. We can talk about it." Aurora said trying to calm her down.

"Let me complete Aurora. That boy you hurt today, he didn't sleep all night when you went on that mission, he cried like a baby holding Charlie when we get the news that you have taken a bullet, he didn't even eat lunch today just to take care of you, he didn't take rest after our intense training just to complete your project, that boy who can't stay up late at night accompanied you when you waited for Aurora that night, he consoled you when you were sad about Auroras hand injury, he supported your sacrifice when we all supported Aurora that you shouldn't take that bullet in her place, he has always understood your perspective. He took care of you when you weren't able to do things alone. He has never expected anything in return even the love he has given was selfless, without any expectations. What more will take you to understand that you have lost a gem today? How will you understand finally that he is someone worthy of you and vise versa? When will learn the fact that how much pain you have caused him today Antonia?" Sofia said loudly.

Antonia lowered her head in shame.

" What you did today is really the worst thing anyone can do to an innocent person." Sofia said.

" But he deserves better. He will hate me after knowing my past. No one will be happy to live with a dirt bag like me not even him Sofia." Antonia said while crying.

" So that means you have feelings for him too? You are just scared?" Aurora asked.

Antonia became mute at this question.

" Of course she loves him too. She was about to kiss him today. But I accidentally came in." Sofia said.

" Antonia look at me." Aurora said with a serious voice. Sofia sat on the bed this time. Antonia looked at Aurora.

"Do you love him?" Aurora asked. Antonia was quite.

"Fucking hell. Just be brave one time please!" Sofia said being impatient.

" Yeah. I love him." Antonia said sighing.

"Fucking finally." Aurora and Sofia said together.

"But I don't deserve him. You have seen how innocent and pure he is! He will hate me after knowing my past. I can't take his hatred."

"How are you so sure he will hate you?" Aurora asked.

" Who will not? Who will accept someone used like me?" Antonia said smiling sadly.

"Don't you dare put down yourself like that Antonia!" Sofia warned.

"Antonia, I agree with Sofia that what you did today is inhuman. You were wrong. You should apologies to him and about your past you need to tell him everything first. You can't just imagine everything by yourself. He is completely a different person. You have to tell him everything and solve this problems between you. If he doesn't accept then it's his loss and we will know that he is not the right one for you." Aurora said.

"Yes Antonia. You should at least tell him everything at first. Then it's up to him to choose you or not. You shouldn't just assume things and hurt others as well as yourself." Sofia said.

Antonia sighed. "I'll talk to him tomorrow. I hope he will forgive me." She said.

"Good." Sofia said smiling.

They talked on many more things and the night passed gradually.

Next day, 

Mr. Mariano and the heirs were in the training session when Aurora came.

" Dad, you can rest. I'll take over from today."

"Shouldn't you take some more rest?" Charlie asked.

Aurora looked at him. " I'm fine now."

" Angel I think he is right."

Aurora sighed. " It's okay dad. You don't have to overwork yourself. It's my work. I can handle it now. You can watch." Aurora said.

" Venom." Leon came and bowed.

Everyone looked at her.

" Yeah?" Aurora replied.

" Mr. Gustav wants to talk to you over phone."

" This early?" Aurora said being confused.

" Yeah. He is requesting for a meeting too."

" Give me the phone."

Leon handed her the land phone that they used for aligns.

" Yes Mr. Gustav."

" Good morning Venom. Hope I haven't disturbed you." Mr. Gustav said nervously.

" You haven't. What's so urgent?" Aurora said calmly.

" I want to invite you for a celebration mam."

" Invitation? For what?"

" My son is taking over mam. He is the heir I talked to you about. He is ready to take over. There is a take over ceremony and as you are our main align I wanted to invite you personally  first. I'll send the card in your office too. I sincerely request you to come to congratulate him on his success."

" I need the guest list too Mr. Gustav. You know the rules." Aurora said coldly.

" Yeah of course. I'll send that too. So I can expect you?"

" I'll confirm it later."

" I have invited an foreign mafia too mam. He has accepted the invitation. He will be the only unknown you will see in that party. Mr. Dominic Gracia."

Aurora smirked this time. Her aligns surely knew well how to help her.
