It was afternoon, all the heirs were drinking coffee and gossiping. Waiting for their lesson session.
Antonia was talking to someone on phone in the dining area. Leon approached her.
" Boss, your therapist has arrived."
Antonia nodded but kept talking. After finishing the call she came to the living area.
" Good afternoon everyone." Bianca said coming inside of the mansion.
Everyone looked at her and smiled. Antonia furrowed seeing a flower bouquet in her hand.
" Have your boyfriend got you flower Bianca?" Sofia asked from her position.
" No no. I'm single." Bianca said suddenly being flustered.
" Then whom is it for?" Antonia asked coming closer.
" I have got it for Lucas." She said looking at Lucas shyly. Antonia's blood boiled hearing that.
" Huh? Why?" The heirs asked together. Lucas kept looking at her being confused.
Bianca went near him and handed him the flowers. Lucas took it and looked at it confusingly. Antonia kept looking at Lucas.
" You saved me yesterday. That's why." Bianca said shyly.
" You didn't have to bring me flowers for that." Lucas said chuckling softly.
Antonia curled her hands to control herself not to burst out. Except Lucas everyone looked at her. Sofia stood up and came to her.
" Don't put pressure on your hand Antonia." She mumbled in a scolding manner.
" I can't tolerate this anymore!" Antonia said through her gritted teethes.
Sofia sighed and again looked at the scene.
" Bianca I think we should go now." Antonia said.
Bianca looked at her and nodded. " Thank you for yesterday Lucas." She said again.
Antonia stormed inside and Bianca followed her.
Everyone sighed feeling sad for Antonia.
" I think you should consider about Antonia's feelings too Lucas." Sofia said sadly.
Lucas looked at her being confused.
" You are asking me to be more considerate? What should I do then? Leave this mansion? Do you think I'm staying here with much happiness?" Lucas said with rage. Sofia lowered her head.
" I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry." She said.
" What happened?" Mr. Mariano asked while coming downstairs feeling the heavy environment.
" Nothing uncle. Should we go to library now?" Sofia asked covering the whole situation. She didn't want to create another scene. This family was already taking so much for them.
" Yeah. Go ahead." Mr. Mariano said smiling.
All of them went to library and Mr. Mariano also joined them for their study session.
Aurora was done making the list. She took the files she needed and went out. Everyone greeted her. She just nodded and went to the basement. She took her car and drove towards a new destination. Maybe her peace was in that place she thought.
After 30minutes of driving Aurora stopped her car in front of a mansion. She horned to get attention of the guard. She thought she would need to give her identity but when the guard saw her face he hurriedly opened the door.
" Good afternoon madam." He said saluting her.
Aurora confusedly looked at him. She got inside. The guard closed the door and ran towards her car. Aurora came down.
" Do you know me?" She asked smiling.
" No madam."
" Then why did you open the door? I can be someone harmful." Aurora said chuckling. She didn't know why was she talking that much with him. She usually doesn't do that. But she found the whole thing interesting.
" Madam has shown me your picture and ordered to open the gate anytime you come here."
Aurora understood the matter. " Can you park my car?" She asked.
" Sure mam. Give me the keys." He said.
Aurora took her files and necessary things with her and handed him the keys. She went towards the main door of the mansion and pressed the calling bell. Other guards just simply bowed to her. That means they knew her too. Aurora smiled at that.
After sometime she heard a voice. " Coming."
She didn't feel she actually missed this soothing voice this much until she heard it again. The owner of the voice opened the door and get shocked seeing her.
" Aurora?" She questioned herself. Aurora smiled at her. She hurriedly pulled her in and hugged her. Aurora couldn't hug back as she was holding a lot of things.
" What a pleasant surprise my baby. How are you?" She asked breaking the hug and holding Auroras cheek softly.
" Fine. How about you mumma?" She said smiling.
" I'm not good." She said pouting.
" Why?" Aurora asked trying to be serious.
" You didn't even inform me that you had an accident. Charlie told me. I'm upset." She said pouting.
" I'm really Sorry mumma. Look I'm fine now." She said.
" Well you have come to me so I'm forgiving you this time." She said narrowing her eyes.
" I'm glad my lady." Aurora said bowing.
Mrs. Zaffino laughed loudly.
Aurora laughed too.
" Now come in." she said pulling Aurora inside.
Aurora sat on the couch. " Is uncle home mumma?" Aurora asked.
" Don't tell me you are here for him?" She asked narrowing her eyes.
" If that was the case then don't you think I would go to his office?" Aurora asked chuckling.
" That's right. He is in office. He will be back soon. I'm not letting you go before dinner." She said holding Auroras hand.
" So I'm allowed only till dinner?" Aurora said pretending to be sad.
" No no dear. You are allowed anytime here. This is your home too from now on."
Aurora hugged her and kept her head on Mrs. Zaffinos chest.
" I have missed you mumma." She mumbled.
Mrs. Zaffino smiled and patted her hair.
" You are tired, aren't you? I'm really sorry dear for our group you are taking so much risk." she said.
" It's nothing mumma. To protect my loved ones, I can go far from this. You all are important for me. I don't want to lose any of you to that bloody bustard."
" Charlie too?" Mrs. Zaffino asked smirking.
Aurora didn't reply.
" Still confused?" Mrs. Zaffino asked.
" Don't talk about that idiot. He is an intolerable brat." Aurora groaned in annoyance.
