LUCIANO

The list of things I'd rather do besides arguing with my father and his wife about why exactly the museum must be sold and why they were interested in acquiring the lands around included but not limited to eating fried maggots or watching a cartoon until my eyes bugs out.

I've asked my secretary to check out what was really going on. The sindaci was involved. The ministro aswell other top company holders except GED.

I couldn't understand exactly why he wasn't involved. Don't tell me it's because he wasn't involved or had no information. I don't know because my family must have not wanted me to know.

Or he declined to give in the greediness because he still loves Eloise. That asshole!

"Sir we are here" James said as he stopped in front of the amusement park.

I decided to conduct an incognito study of user behavior, as the company is developing an AI that personalizes guest experiences. We are observing how people interact with park technology to refine their algo

  • BARREN BILLIONAIRE'S EX WIFE, MOTHER OF TRIPLETS.    Chapter twenty one

    ELOISE Having the same birth mark doesn't necessarily mean that Luciano was the father of my kids . I mean I've never met him except when the kids were five already. That birth mark could be tattooed. I just don't want to think about it when I got home. And even after few days at home I couldn't still successful shove the thought out of my head. He said the same. That birthmark doesn't really mean he was the father. it's still puzzling to me what a grown ass man is doing in an amusement park. I got to the museum to see all my employees assembled Infront of a boiling tempered man. Luciano was really scolding grown men and women? I hurriedly rushed to the scene and furrowed my brows in anger. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" I questioned with a clenched fist.. "What does it look like Eloise? I should center my blame on you right now . How the hell are you running this place? I'm sorry if I'm crossing the line but excuse me? You don't make

    ELOISE"Am I late?" I said two hours later of deliberately making Damon wait " No. It's ... fine. I arrived early, I was nearby remember?" Luciano then arrived. I almost thought he won't show up" Damon rolled his eyes " You came with him?"; He muttered in annoyance. " I honestly hope you don't mind?. He insisted to follow me around" I laughed gently Luciano smiled at me and pecked my cheeks . Now that I think about it, this was far way childish than I thought. He looked up at the waitress across and signalled, ," you can bring the food now to him" "I'm sorry, I ordered on my own . I hope that's alright, besides, I already know your favorite" The waiter dropped two servings of abundant seafood, with grilled fish, fried calamari, and spaghetti alle vongoleIt was actually once at the top list of my favorites. Damon's intentions were quiet clear this was the exact meal I always order at every of our anniversary. " You can fix something for

    ELOISE As I stepped into the spacious, dimly lit office, my eyes fell on Mr. Luciano. He stood with a smug smile, his gaze unwavering as he watched me approach. There was something cold and calculated in his demeanor, the same sense of entitlement that seemed to surround him since the beginning. Even though I was very much aware of the fact that Mr.Luciano is a money grubber, I still wasn't expecting that level of betrayal.. "Gosh ! I'm so stupid" I smacked my forehead..I probably shouldn't believe Damon who was ready to do anything out of jealousy.. I took a deep breath, clutching the stack of documents in my hand, and tried to ignore the sinking feeling in my stomach. I couldn’t help but wonder if Damon had been right all along. His warnings about Mr. Luciano echoed in my mind, and while Damon’s jealousy often clouded his judgment, maybe this time he had been onto something. For the past few days, I hadn't realized that he was the one offering to buy my father's mansion thr

    ELOISE "Marrying you would do no good to me..don't use the museum as an excuse. Your grandfather has be all over me and my children since we arrived Italy..But trust me, even though I do not know the father of my children, It couldn't have been you" His eyes suddenly lit up " Damon is not the father?" "I will take my leave now Luciano. Don't mistake my desperateness for brokenness.. I was very comfortable before all of this and a husband is not close to what I need now" "Just a year. Think about Eloise..That been said, I've vowed to protect you and the kids with my life just like your mother did " I rolled my eyes to him. " My mother?" I quivered.. I've been so annoyed at nature for it took away my mom few months after my birth.. " I'm really sorry for what I'm about to say Eloise.. few years ago, your mom had jumped into the fire at the kitchen restaurant to save me and my mom who suddenly passed out while cooking according to autopsy " I held my breath knowing fully

    LUCIANO I watched my late wife's grandfather walk round the sleek silver range coover I had just had delivered. A supercar, it was the ultimate boy-toy, for only ten would ever be built. The older man’s excitement was rare. I already know how much he adores new rides so I got it as a bribe sort of "A car that costs almost a half of a million.’ grandpa said, he stood tall and straight in spite of his seventy-five years, "Luci, It does my heart good to see you taking an interest in such things again! Did you fall In love recently? I smirked but said nothing in response to that leading comment. "I wouldn't be surprised if you have dear... Gossip columnists regularly referred to the billionaire head of the halmart software company as beautiful. " I hated the press..but loved how good they praised me. I sure have that lean, bronzed features which might have a breathtaking symmetry that turned female heads wherever I

    ELOISE "we are not getting paid on time?" Matthew asked with a very bewildered look.."that can't happen. I have a loan interest..I have to pay for my kid's academy and they are even preparing for their first camp. I can't let my kids miss their first camping. Why are you all not saying anything? " The other workers either stood or paced around in anger "Felicia say something. You have your mother's hospital bill to take care of. Infact you even need it worst than I do. So why are not bothered?" I decided to step in. It's been two weeks since their salary was due. " I'm sorry for all this time," I apologized"Dl you really not have money?".Ann asked.with a sassy tone.. "Excuse me?" "It's just unbelievable to understand that the best curator I'm U.S is fucking broke! That designer bag you have took me six months to save up . If you sell everything you are wearing now including your jewelries, it could pay us for four months and you'd have some money left"

    LUCIANO Eloise ls was absent again at dinner, but since I didn’t want to worry to the kids I told them she was at the office, working late again.. I still haven't adjusted to suddenly moving from bachelorhood to fatherhood. Not just to one or two but three kids.. My trust issue made me send their nanny away and now I even have to drive them back from school! "Why is mom very busy this days, Dad?" "Dad" I had to be touched to realize I was the dad they are calling. I would have laughed at the reality but I had to be an adult.. "She's preparing uhhh...for her best friends birthday" I stuttered at the Triplets with the same night wear. I could barely differentiate who Giana was from Kiara. " But mommy doesn't have any friends. only her sister visits her" " Right... She made new friend. You won't want your mom to bed lonely right?" "She has you now or do you plan to abandon us again? " "Nooo... Nope. I won't do that " I stuttered. At least not jus

    LUCIANOThe sound of the triplets' laughter faded into the background as I scrubbed at the dishes, they should take their time to fall asleep . Trying to force them to bed would only turn the table round and they'd force me to read a bedtime story ...it has happened not just once. I might not be that bad at parenting. Or maybe I'm just too lovable that the triplets had already gotten attached to me in few days. Sadly,I still couldn't get my mind off with thoughts of Eloise. This tension between us—it was suffocating. It's been awkward since the past few days after we signed the wedding contract agreement. It became even worst two days ago that she'd barely come home untill late at night. But what could I do? Push her? Force her to tell me what was wrong? That would only push her further away.As I stacked the plates, my phone buzzed again. A sense of unease gripped me as I wiped my hands and picked it up. This time, it wasn’t Eloise that texted. It was James.. He

    Eva’s POVI woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock. I sluggishly slammed it off with my palm and continued with my sleep. About a few minutes later, I jumped off my bed like someone that had a terrible nightmare.“It’s 7:30 am already? Fuck!!!” I cussed out and rushed to the bathroom. Brushing my teeth and rushing through my bath, I dressed in a normal work corporate T-shirt, a jacket, and a pair of plain trousers, and then picked a handbag and shoes that suited perfectly with the color of my dress. I had her breakfast of sandwich and went to the sitting room to grab my car keys.“Hey Dad, good morning. I’m off to work, sir,” I greeted Chairman Huxley, my father. I was already used to calling him ‘sir’ since we work in the same place and he is the boss. Chairman Huxley was still sitting on the same couch as of the previous night. He stared at me for a while before ordering me to sit down on the couch opposite him.“I told you that you have a date today, didn’t I?” His hands g

    DamienI stood there, staring at Eva like she’d just slapped me. My mind struggled to catch up with her words, the bitter taste of rejection already curdling on my tongue.She said no.Those words she was saying were her only way if rejecting my proposal. I clenched my fists under the table, forcing myself not to flip the damn thing over. My jaw ached from how tightly I was grinding my teeth, and I had to remind myself that losing control here, in public, would only give the paparazzi a field day.What the hell just happened?Without a word, I shoved back my chair and stormed out of the restaurant. The night air hit my face like a splash of ice water, but it did nothing to calm the fire burning in my chest. I needed a drink.A bar sat just around the corner.I slid into a booth and ordered the strongest thing on the menu. The burn of whiskey down my throat matched the sting in my pride.“She rejected me,” I muttered under my breath, swirling the amber liquid in the glass. “Who the he

    Eva Amidst fury and anger boiling inside of me, I walked out of my car towards the Handro Group's hotel with so much calmness that you could mistake the day as my happiest.I entered the Sandro's big luxurious restaurant and looked around in search of my blind date. I picked up my phone from my black leather handbag and dialed the last number my father sent to me. “Over here”, A man signaled with his hands. I went towards the direction of his hand. I was nervous. No that’s not the word to explain how I am feeling right now. I was rather annoyed. Caressing my bumps , I assured myself the hundredth time . It must end up like the others .“Hello” I greeted and reluctantly sat on the chair opposite his . He was my third blind date I'm a row. Father wouldn't give me a breathing space about giving him an heir.“I think I might like you” he said with a big smile. ”Eva right?” he snaps his finger, still smiling. His arrogant attitude was already driving me crazy . If only he knew who he w

    LUCIANOThe news anchor’s voice crackled from the flat screened television in the corner of the room. "Mrs. Claire, who has been wanted for the past several months, was finally apprehended yesterday. Authorities confirmed she is the prime suspect in the murder of her mother-in-law..."I clicked off the TV and turned to Eloise. She lay sprawled across our queen-sized bed, one arm flung over her face like she was shielding herself from my gaze. I folded my arms. “Are you happy now, Eloise?”She peeked at me from beneath her forearm, her lips twitching into a sheepish smile. “I’m sorry, honey. I wasn’t thinking. It’s not like I planned it, who knew the country’s most sought-after murderer would walk into the restaurant like that?”I stared at her, my jaw clenched. “And who knew the most wanted murderer could’ve stabbed you in the throat while you were trying to be nice? You can’t keep throwing yourself into danger just because your heart’s made of gold. People aren’t always worth

    ELOISEI couldn't contain my shock, I walked back to the sit .“Sorry, but that seat’s taken,” I said, trying to keep my voice even. “i just stepped out.”She didn’t blink. , no shift in posture, she just sat there like she hadn't heard a word I say I subtly caught Laura’s gaze and gave her a sharp nod. Her hand slipped into her purse, fingers curling around her phone. I needed her to call 911 while I keep Claire with me.I leaned forward. “You’re not going to stand?”She didn’t move.“There are other places to stick your ass, lady. This isn’t your husband’s bar.” her tone sharpened, slicing through the air between us.I tilted her head slightly, “Well, it is,” she said slowly. “Get up by the way, you look familiar.”“Do I know you?” she asked, her face still hidden beneath her hood and a curtain of hair.I squinted. “Ain’t you the trash lady? You took my trash one time.”“Excuse me?” Her voice dropped a register.“I’m sure it’s you. I don’t forget faces.”Her lips curled. “I do

    ELOISELaura's birthday party started later than I'd anticipated. They should have started without our presence but for no reason they waited in the sitting room untill I walked back in with Luciano my hair looking all messed up.There was barely enough time for me to shower and pick out my outfits and since I don't want to dress like the main character on her day, I really needed extra time to pick an outfit.I ended up choosing a short red dress and for God's sake Luciano still stared at me like I stole the show. "Why don't we go to a double date tonight? I've always wanted to do that with Eloise but she's always the one with boyfriends""I came down here because this party is also for me. I'd have driven you out of not" Luciano rolled his eyes. I've still not understood why this two siblings are always on each others neck but when I had my accident and needed help, they walked perfectly together. "Honey, it's your sister's birthday. Besides I also want a double date with her boy

    LUCIANO"But why?" Eloise asked I mounted the stairs to join her on the landing. Without hesitation, I closed light hands to her shoulders and turned her away from the direction in which she had been about to head. "Our bedroom is this way" I said. "It’s been a really, really lovely day… luci. "As Alex's shocking relationship swam back into my memory like a giant man-eating shark, I was silenced. Thankfully not like I ever doubted her, Eloise doesn't have a thing at all for Alex. I guess I can be less insecure about that her one friend I couldn't get rid of. ‘The very best…"I agreed, with remarkable restraint. " I spent so much time getting you guys gift. I honestly hope it's loved"With careful hands I turned her back to face me and then bent down and swept her up into my arms."What on earth are you doing? Everyone's watching" Eloise gasped.‘I like the fact you’re mine and you need to relax Eloise, we are legally married now. " I shared, striding down the corridor and shoul

    ELOISE"He is really cute so I asked him to be my boyfriend "" You chose him just because he's cute?" " Yes mommy, isn't that why you married Daddy?""Well..." I paused, she really caught off guard, "that was part of the reason."My little girl giggled, swinging her leg happily, as she talked to Nicole "See! Then it's okay if I pick someone cute too."I raised an eyebrow, trying not to smile. "Sweetheart, being cute is nice, but what really matters is how someone treats you. Does he make you laugh? Is he kind to you?"Giana nodded seriously. "He gave me the red crayon when he saw I wanted it. And he shared his pudding at lunch.""Wow," I said with a mock gasp, leaning in. "Sharing pudding? That’s true love right there."The little girl beamed. "I know, right? We're getting married at recess tomorrow."Her mom burst out laughing. "Well, I better start planning the wedding, huh?""Yes, but no kissing. That’s gross.""Deal," I said, ruffling her hair, and still grinning at how quickly

    ELOISEI crossed my arms, my voice sharper than I intended. “I don’t like how I feel about this. When did you two… start, uh—dating? Or fucking?”Laura’s scoff was instant, her eyes narrowing. “Wow. So what? You think Alex can’t love me? Or that he’s too good for me?” Her voice cracked on the last word, a waver betraying how close she was to crying.She blinked rapidly , her lips trembling. I wasn’t angry, I was just confused. I never imagined them together. Alex, who once rolled his eyes at everything Laura said. Laura, who used to call him a “walking red flag.” Now here they were, all soft smiles and intertwined fingers like a cheesy rom-com come to life.Alex wrapped an arm around her, pulling her into his chest. She let him. I let out a humorless laugh, biting the inside of my cheek.“Eloise,” he said gently, like someone trying to reason with a feral cat. “We’re adults. This isn’t something you need to freak out about. She’s your friend.”“And so are you, Alex!” I snapped. “Don’t
