CHAPTER 71ELENAI turned to discover that the strong hands that held onto me which prevented the fall belonged to Luciano. I couldn't believe my eyes, he was that last person I expected to see right now. How the hell do I say thank you to this man for preventing my fall? I thought to myself. “What if I don't?” I whispered to myself. “That's the best solution here. After all, I do not intend to speak to him. At least not yet”. I wiggled myself out of his grip and ran up the stairs. I was more careful this time to avoid another fall. I had a strong urge to look back and see the look on his face but I decided against it. It's better this way. I ran up straight to my room, I opened my hands and found my key which I used to open the door to the room. I went inside the room and tried to shut the door but something was preventing the door from closing. I tried pushing it again so it could close up but just then I looked down and saw someone's leg. I opened the door and saw Luciano stan

CHAPTER 70ELENAThe view of Lucy's lips close to Luciano’s lips irked me, I felt like crying at the sight of that but I had always trained myself to be emotionally strong and handle matters generally. Somehow I loved what we had but on the other hand, I trained myself to be prepared for heartbreaking circumstances like this, it was too good to be true anyway. I slammed the door so that they would be aware that someone saw them and ran quickly to my room. There I cried my eyes out until I felt sleepy and shut my eyes.In my subconscious state I heard knocks on my door and that knock eventually woke me up. I stood up and went to the door. “Who is there?” I asked curious to know whoever it was. It could be Luciano and if it was her I wasn't going to open up the door. But then it was Gigi's voice that I heard from outside my door. “Are you alone?” I asked her. “Of course baby girl!! It's game night, remember?” she said excitedly. I didn't want to spoil the excitement so I needed to

CHAPTER 69 ELENA I rushed back into the kitchen to find out where the sound came from and what was going on there. I got into the kitchen to hear the chef yell on top of his voice “How dare you slap me!!” he said angrily. The chief chef was so angry, I've never seen him get angry and lose his cool this much, who would not when this witch insulted him by slapping him? But I needed to control the situation so I immediately stood in between the chef and Lucy. I turned towards him and said, “Chef let me handle this, I apologise on her behalf”. I tried calming him down first so that things don't escalate. “And who the hell do you think you are to apologise on my behalf? I didn't beg you to do so bitch!!” she spat out and this riled me up. I turned to her angrily “Now I've been trying to act civil with you but it seems like you don't like civil and it is cool with me. What right do you have in this house to slap my mentor?” I said to her face while I walked to her dangerously. “I

CHAPTER 68LUCIANO“I pushed her away from me, do not ever in your miserable life call me that again, we parted years ago why are you here” I asked her. She knelt immediately in front of me and held onto my feet begging “Don please save me, a lot of people are after my life, a gang wants to kill me and you were the only person who came to my mind, you are the only person that can save me, please do not chase me out of here” she pleaded with tears in her eyes. “What did you do to make them chase after you?” I asked her “Well, well, umm truth is that my father borrowed some money from the dangerous men and due to my father wasn't able to settle the debt they killed him and now they are asking me, I have tried offering this money to them through my life savings but they said we've waited for far too long now it's your life or nothing, please Don't throw me out!! save me I do not want to die yet” she kept pleading and pleading.Elena took pity on her and held on to me “Baby do not throw

CHAPTER 67 LUCIANO I immediately called my pilot and asked him to prepare the jet, as we fly back to Chicago in an hour. "I'll meet you at the airport”. I said to him. I called Franco too, and asked him to get his woman ready, that we are heading back home in an hour. "I'm on my way to the beach house, let's leave together once I get there” I said to him “What's with the hurry Don?” he asked me. “There is a little problem and Maria called.” I replied to him. We were at the beach house in 30 minutes but I asked Elena to stay put in the car while I go to pack up our things. So she stayed back. I went into the house and it took me about 10 minutes to pack everything that's ours from the apartment. While I was heading towards the car I could also see Gigi and Franco rushing towards the car too. We are complete at least, I thought to myself. I put our luggage into the car trunk alongside Gigi and Franco’s bags. Gigi joined Elena in the back seat on her left while I sat beside El

CHAPTER 66ELENAI didn't think this was going to happen soon even if he mentioned it often and on, I didn't think he was really serious, who would want to marry a slave that was auctioned to him? A woman whose background he wouldn't be proud of, so I asked him, “Do you remember my background and how we met?” “Of course I remember,” he replied.“Good, do you remember that I was auctioned to you as a slave?” I asked him and he frowned his face “Oh I remember, and I also remembered that I promised myself to deal with the Idiot that inflicted so much pain on my woman” Now I flipped at the statement I heard him make. “Are you going to make that bastard pay?” I asked him “Of course I will” he replied and this made me feel somehow light. That way he would no longer have the right to do human trafficking. But I knocked myself back to my present event.My man looked at me with his knee down asking me to marry him. “Is this the kind of mother that you want for your kids?” I asked him and my
