Luciano's POV I left the room angrily though I was bothered with how I left her. She was too stubborn and always loved to be taught a lesson. I pray she didn't collapse out of exhaustion. I needed to go somewhere really important but I had to make sure that Shuri didn't leave the house, she was unsafe same as Amara. But I needed to protect her more because of Massimo's eyes on her. I called the guards close to me and instructed them strictly not to allow Shuri out of the house. I had to threaten them with their jobs and knowing how well they were treated, they knew better than to disobey me. Raul and I got to the meeting point and I asked him to stay around. I didn't want him listening to our conversation. I ordered a drink but left it untouch while waiting for Massimo to come quickly. He was always late but I didn't allow it to annoy me because we had something
Luciano's POV I returned to my club sipping another glass of wine though it was more alcoholic than the previous one I had taken. I was engrossed in my thoughts and kept wondering why people suddenly saw me as weak. I never acted like one! Or had they seen how I act with Amara and Shuri and thought me to be weak? Shit! That can't be good. My hands rested on the table, thinking of what to do next when a guard whispered to me of Dee's presence. I straightened after asking him to be let in though I felt I was doing something wrong. "Hey bro," He greeted while stretching his hands for a handshake. It felt weird but I didn't want to reject his gesture so I received it then turned my attention to the band that played smoothly. I looked around and watched people smiling, shaking their heads to the rhythm of the song while some couples swa
Amara's POV I was bored as usual, as the people in the house barely talked to me. I didn't care because we had nothing to talk about. Luciano and I hadn't crossed paths for sometime and I felt like he was avoiding me which made things easier for the both of us. My eyes darted to the wallpaper and I decided to check the room not minding if I'd be stuck in there again. Staying there alone was better than being with someone who didn't care about me. I took off the wallpaper and rolled it to a certain limit then touched the door which opened swiftly. Dust and cobwebs filled the room and I wondered why Luciano didn't bother taking care of it. Several pictures were hung on the wall and I stared at them in amazement, wondering how someone could resemble me so much. She was beautiful and had a charming smile, her eyes were innocent and her hair looked soft and full. Looking at the pictures, I understood why people talked about our similar looks, we were was
Amara's POV Returning to class after the short break made me happy. I was able to interact with the few friends I had made earlier and learnt more. Lectures went smoothly as expected and I made sure that I didn't think of anything else but my study. If I finished with my studies then I'd have to look for a well paying job and start my life over. Someone threw a rolled paper at me and I turned back to see Obinna waving at me. I smiled back at him contemplating on asking him to check out what was on the flash drive. I made my decision and tore out a piece of paper then told him what I wanted him to do and added my phone number as well. I threw the paper back at him and made sure the lecturer didn't notice what I did. Before they call us 'live birds'. I didn't want to be asked to stand up for disrupting the class. Well, I don't think that happens in college. After class, I stood outside waiting for him to meet me. He walked towards me wea
Amara's POV Stealing from Gio got me paranoid though it had been more than a day since I collected the money from him. I kept avoiding anything that would make us bump into each other and stayed put in Luciano's room. I was surprised at my reaction and wondered if I wasn't the same person that picked pockets for a living. It was the act stealing that brought me to Luciano's house and now I had become scared of being caught. "I gest I learned a lesson" The hiding was over as I saw him enter the room. My heart skipped two beats as I watched him come closer to me, he know about my theft, his eyes showed it. "Hey mama," He called jokingly while I stared at him with a straight face trying not to give away myself. "Hi, Gio. You look better today," I said with a confident tone. "I feel better, thank you for checking on me and taking my
Amara's POV "That's for trying to act like you care." She spat while I glared at her. She was really testing my patience. But at the same time, do I care? Yeah! I really do care. "Do you know who Pablo is?" She asked suddenly. I didn't know whether to agree but since I saw him as unimportant I denied it. "I don't know him," I lied. "That's a lie, he said that you both has dated for sometime," She stated getting me angry. I felt like telling her everything about I and Pablo's relationship but seeing her present mood I knew she wouldn't believe me. "We never dated," I debunked. That yucky! That son of a bitch isn't even called Pablo, his name is Bruno and he is my relative. Should I tell her that now? "You're too secretive, Amara, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Don't you realize that I've been avoiding you for sometime now? It's because you care only about yourself," She said and I shrugged. This girl bis really a brok
Amara's POV After putting on a pair of blue Jean and halter neck top, I packed my hair into a bun and applied a lip gloss. I stared at myself observing the changes that could have occurred in my body since I've been having symptoms of pregnancy. "Do I really look fat and sick at the same time?" I asked no one in particular. I tried not to look too pretty so that Luciano wouldn't change his mind about letting me out of the house so I went for a pair of flats and stepped in it. I walked towards Luciano who was busy with his laptop and stood right in front of him distracting him from whatever he was doing. He glanced at me and asked me if I was done dressing up and I replied him positively then he wore a silver bracelet on my wrist and told me to be careful. I got to the school on time and waited for Obinna who waltzed in some minutes later and apologized for coming late.
Luciano's POV I watched Shuri say mean words to Amara but I kept quiet watching to how she would handle everything. She didn't respond but waited for her to leave before heading for the toilet. "I guess you're happy now that you've left the house for no good reason," I taunted her while she fiddled with her nails. She kept quiet and her face showed that she was unsettled. Not knowing how to make her feel better, I made her sit between my thighs and massaged her shoulders. "You promised me something yesterday, remember?" I asked. "What was that?" She asked pretending to have forgotten and was about standing up when I pulled her back to me. She struggled with me and I heard something fall to the ground. I wanted to check what dropped but she kissed me immediately. I was amazed at how she suddenly wanted me which further turned me on. Then I remembered her motive and wanted to pull out, but this time she held me strongly and pushed me to the bed
