“Are you sure you got everything? Never mind, if you forgot anything you can always come back here. I am going to miss having you around, my darling,” Danielle’s best friend said to her and hugged her again. They were in her parking lot with all of Danielle’s bags in his car. He waited patiently for them to be done saying goodbye even though they had been at it for over ten minutes now. Not to mention the twenty minutes they spent inside the apartment while he got a lecture from her best friend on how best to treat Danielle. The same friend that called him two days ago to give him a warning. He liked her. She was protective of Danielle; it was rare to have friends who would stand by one in all things. It was so obvious that she loved Danielle and wanted the best for her. “I am sorry we are keeping you waiting,”She called out. “Take your time,”He responded and continued watching them do their thing. He had enough time in the past few days to think about his decision and how it wou
After he made sure no one would disturb her, he went into his home office to make sure he didn’t have any urgent mail waiting for him. The client he met with earlier didn’t like the property he had shown him even though that’s what he had picked out himself. Luciano had been so close to telling him to fuck off and go get what he want himself but he held himself back, he was always holding back, if he decides to say what he had in mind, most clients won’t have the mind to act the way they do but as the saying goes ‘the customer is always right’ even though most of the times they were wrong. because of that man, he had almost not been able to go pick Danielle up after he promised her that he would. Danielle didn’t seem to mind that he came later than he had told her but he still didn’t like how today had turned out. Now he needed to find a replacement property for the unsatisfied client and that was the part he hated the most. He had a few hours or maybe minutes before Danielle would
Dani opened her eyes in a strange room. She sat up immediately, looking around the room and wondering where she was. It took a moment for her to remember that she had been in the car with Luciano a while ago which meant she must have fallen asleep, she wondered how long it was that she had been sleeping for. She got out of the bed and yawned. The room got familiar but she noticed they changed a couple of things in the room and added new decorations compared to the last time she was in the room. The bed was bigger now too. Maybe that’s why she didn’t recognize the room at first. She walked to the restroom to ease herself as she felt pressed. While in the restroom. She heard a knock at the door and quickly flushed and washed her hands. She rushed to the door expecting it to be Luciano but it wasn’t. It was Lydia, his housekeeper. “Hi, Lydia, it’s been a while,”Dani greeted the older woman who smiled at her. She has always been nice to Dani when she used to be around some of the night
“You are okay,”He said and gave her a sheepish smile. He was really drunk and out of his mind. “Why were you drinking?”She questioned him even though she knew the chances of him answering were low. “No reason. I was with someone I used to know and they were having a hard time. I got drunk while trying to make them feel better,”He jabbered. She wondered who it was that he met and what they were going through to have resulted in drinking. Whoever they were must be really important for him to go out and comfort them when they were down. here she thought he didn’t have any friends. Maybe she didn’t really know as much about him as she had assumed. There was enough time to find out about him and get to know the Luciano that he barely let the world see because now she believed that there was a lot more of him that he wasn’t showing. “Let’s get you to your room you need to sleep off the alcohol,”She told him. “Alright, have you eaten, did they give you something to eat?”He asked. He
Of course, he would find someone. He just wasn’t going to bring the person to the house and she shouldn’t even be feeling jealous in the first place. She closed the screen and dumped her phone on the bed next to her. She closed her eyes and tried to forget the image of him kissing some woman but the more she tried to forget the clearer the image became in her head. She couldn’t even pretend to be okay with it because she wasn’t. “You are such a fool,”She whispered to herself. She should know what she wants and stand by it. He was a man and a single man; he was allowed to have a life. Just because she was having his baby doesn’t mean he was obligated to remain without a partner when she told him that she wasn’t going to be intimate with him. “Maybe I won’t feel like this if he didn’t act the way he had last night,”She let out. He was at fault too for having a woman outside and still treating her the way he did last night. Dani decided that she would avoid him for as long as she coul
“I am okay, Luciano. I just want some space,”She said, trying to get him off her case but he wasn’t having it. He walked closer to her even though she shook her head and pulled her to her feet. “Tell me what I did wrong, Danielle, I know you are mad at me but I need to know what I did wrong for me to be able to fix it and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”She hated how he was talking so softly and acting like he cared about her feelings. If he cared about how she felt then he would not have been out fucking another woman last night. Just thinking about it again made her burn with anger and jealousy. “Who was the woman from last night?”She blurted out before she could stop herself. He asked for it. She tried to tell him to leave her alone but he continued to request for her to tell him. She saw when he realized what she was talking about. “Oh, you saw the photos too? I should have known you would. Rumors fly pretty fast,”He said in a tone that suggested he could care less about
Luciano wasn’t in the best of moods right now. It was already past eleven pm but he couldn’t get any sleep so he made his way to his liquor corner to get some alcohol in his system hoping that it would help him sleep. He was highly troubled by what happened earlier with Danielle and how he handled her questions. “I should have just explained to her,”Luciano let out as he took a sip of his whiskey. He handled things wrongly with Danielle and now she was mad at him. He could have prevented that from happening by just telling her the truth about what had happened with Amy. She had every right to ask him those questions because he told her he wasn’t seeing anyone and then less than a week later, he was pictured kissing a woman. He regretted going to see Amy last night. He should have known she would still want to get on with him. He had been drunk. That wasn’t an excuse but if he had been sober, he would not have let her kiss him. He pushed her away almost immediately but the paparazzi
Dani woke up the next morning in a bad mood. She tried to get her act together before stepping out of her room but she couldn’t help how she was feeling and couldn’t pretend to be okay when she wasn’t. She strolled to the kitchen to grab a bottle of sparkling water. She was hungry too but was too lazy right now to make anything for herself so she decided that she would wait for the chef to make something. She turned and started walking out of the kitchen. “Danielle?”She heard her name and turned around to see Luciano seated on one of the chairs in the kitchen. she didn’t even notice he was there until he called her name. “Good morning,”She greeted him. She started walking away again. She didn’t want to be in his presence as she felt ashamed of how she had reacted the previous day to his factual answer to her question. “Good morning, do you want breakfast? I made some toast and was about to bring it to your room,”He said. she paused and turned to him again, she was too hungry to
“Knock, knock,” She said into the mic and heard everyone laugh, even Luciano.“Luci, you are everything I ever dreamed of. Even though you were a pain in the ass at the beginning. You turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened to me. I won’t trade our time together for anything in the world.” She paused for breath and continued.“You are my reason Luciano and I am glad that I am yours too. I promise to love you and stand by you for the rest of our lives and if I am allowed to, I will still choose you again in the next life,”Dani’s voice broke at the end. Luciano’s reassuring smile was all she needed to gain her posture again.“A pain in the ass? Really?” Luciano whispered. Dani smiled and so did he before he took the mic from her. He reached for her face and touched her cheeks softly. Just a small touch from him was enough for her to feel all kinds of emotions. She truly loved this man beyond love and it made her heart full knowing that he loved her just as much as she
“Did they? I didn’t expect them to show up,” Dani said. she smiled. No way would she let her adoptive parents ruin her day.“Yes, they did and your mom wants to see you. I told them I would let you know first. I didn’t want to bring them here without first informing you,” Keira said. Dani didn’t really have anything against them. if she did, she would not have invited them to her wedding. She nodded in approval.“You can let them in, K, I don’t really have anything against them.” She responded. Keira nodded and left to get her parents. Dani looked at herself once again. She looked really pregnant at six months pregnant. She was extra big and the doctor said it was because she was going to have two big healthy babies. They still haven’t checked the sex of the little ones because they both wanted the surprise at birth.The stylists excused themselves and left her alone in the waiting room where she was meant to receive some guests before she would be transported to the chapel which w
“Why are you calling me so early in the morning didn’t you sle---- oh my god!!! Is that a ring?” Keira yelled out excitedly when she saw the reason Dani was calling her so early in the morning. Dani laughed when she yelled and jumped out of sight in excitement. Dani already knew this would be her reaction and she didn’t disappoint.“Yes, it’s a ring! You were right! A wedding in my future. We have a wedding to plan bestie,” Dani said in equal excitement. She still couldn’t believe everything was real and that she would soon be called Mrs. Miko. She woke up last night, sat up and just watched him sleep. She marveled at how lucky she was. Luciano keeps saying he’s the lucky one but Dani knew she was the lucky one. “See!!! I fucking told you! Now I wish I had bet on it, oh my god! Congratulations baby, you deserve all the love. I am so happy for you,” Keira let out when she came back in sight. Dani smiled happily. Luciano was currently fixing breakfast for her. He told her to stay i
“Danielle,” He called out her name. She smiled through the tears. She knew it was serious business when he called her Danielle instead of Baby or Cherry. “Yes, baby,” She answered. “I am sorry I made you cry,”Dani shook her head. She could have cried either way, it was something that she never imagined would happen to her until she got together with Luciano. She gave up on ever getting married about two years ago only for Luciano to renew her dream that she had given up and now he was on his knees in front of her. about to ask her to marry him.“I love you, Danielle. So much. I can’t imagine a life where you aren’t there. You came into my life and became my reason. I want to spend the rest of my life loving you and knowing the feeling of being loved by you. I want us to have the big family that we never had growing up. I want you to be my family, my love, my reason forever,” He paused. Danielle smiled encouragingly.“I promise to be your reason too. to be your love and your hom
“I think I will turn in early today, I am so tired,” Dani told Luciano as they sat in each other’s arms in the living room. she felt tired and sad after what she found out today. Even though she told herself more times than she could count that there was no reason for her to be sad, she just couldn’t help.“Fuck, I wanted us to hang out in the flower field tonight and watch the stars together. But if you want to sleep early, I am fine with it.” Luciano responded. Dani could feel the disappointment in his voice. Luciano has been a thoughtful and considerate man. For him to be disappointed means he really wanted them to see the stars tonight. They have sat together before in the flower field and watched the stars. It was a fun time and she didn’t want him.“Cancelled. If you want us to watch the stars tonight then that’s what we will do.” Dani said, doing everything to bring out the cheery fun side of hers as she said the words. She couldn’t let her not-so-parents ruin what she had w
Luciano was so fucking nervous that he had almost missed Danielle being noticeably quiet after he picked her up from her best friend’s beauty house. He was glad he noticed because he didn’t want her in a bad mood when they got back home. He spent the last five hours preparing a surprise and the last thing he wanted was for it to be ruined.“Hey, baby, are you okay?” He asked. He knew what happened with her adoptive parents so finding out they were back in town after leaving her behind years ago must have been shocking for her. “I guess. They don’t mean anything to me anymore. I am an adult now and don’t need to keep calling them my parents. They stopped being my parents a long time ago,” He slowed down the car, came to a stop at a corner of the road, and turned his attention to her. He reached for her hands and she let him. “Hey,” She shook her head and sniffed.“I mean, I shouldn’t care that they are in town and still they don’t call or try to reach out for me,” She cried. He r
“Don’t worry K, you will be the first to know if he ever asks me to marry him. right now, I am just happy with the way things are. I didn’t know that I could be this happy with someone but I am really happy. I wake up each new day with a smile on my face.” Dani beamed.“I can see that. I am really happy that you are happy.” Keira responded warmly.“I think I used up all my good luck with Luci. I mean, why else would he love me so much? It had to be all the luck I saved up.” Keira laughed.“I am sure you still have some good luck in you. Seeing you so beautiful, healthy, in love, and pregnant feels like a lucid dream but I know it isn’t a dream,” Keira said.“Yeah,” “You do know your parents are back in town, right? I didn’t want to ask you over the phone,” Keira revealed. Danielle stared at her with her mouth open.“What?” She asked. “Sorry, you wouldn’t know since you haven’t left your husband’s house for over a week now. Yes, my mom called and said she saw your mom at the t
“I thought you guys decided not to show your face ever again. I haven’t seen or heard from you in a week,”Keira complained as she walked up to her and pulled her into a tight hug. Dani laughed. Keira was being dramatic because Dani called her twice since the week she and Luciano had spent locked up in the mansion and their room. Yes, since they returned from the orphanage, they spent the week that followed locked up in their room. They played, made love, and told each other things that they didn’t know about each other. talked about their future and a whole lot of other things. It was a time that Dani would remember for the rest of her life. Loving Luciano and being loved by him was the best thing that happened to her. spending time with him and getting to know the loving man who was once her strict boss turned out to be the best moments of her life. He showed her just what being in love and being loved by the person you loved looked like. wiped away her former experiences and mad
Dani watched the man of her dreams sleep. She smiled when she remembered just how she had kept him awake for most of the night. It wasn’t her fault, she missed him so much and couldn’t get enough of him. Even right now, she wanted him again.“Damn hormones,”She whispered as her fingers caressed his face. She didn’t want to wake him up but the urge to touch him was so strong and she couldn’t resist. She traced her finger around his face, his nose, his lips, his eyelids. She leaned down and planted a soft kiss on his lips. “I love you,”She whispered. Finally, she could say those words to him. words that she has been dying to say to him for weeks. Falling in love with Luci was the best decision she had ever made. Okay, getting pregnant was the best too but falling for Luciano definitely topped the list. She felt her tummy rumble. Aside from being extra horny, she was always hungry too. She tried to get out of bed to find something to eat but Luciano grabbed her before she could leave
