Arielle pretended to be sleeping but she couldn’t help listening in on their conversation, they were talking about Lily, they knew she was an evil person, and from what they were saying, Arielle realized Lily might be the one who killed Don which means she had lied when she had told her she wasn’t the one that killed him, what can’t that woman do? Arielle couldn’t lie, she felt relief and safe now that she was with Luciano, plus he told her he loves her, she knew she would be a fool to just believe him and forgive him after everything he put her through but he was right about her being safer with him, that’s why she had come with him, not because he had said he loves her, she was putting her safety first. the fact that they knew just what Lily was told her all she needed to know, she was sure Lily knew they know about her which was why she wanted her to get through to Luciano and get what she needed for her, or maybe she is not aware yet and was just trying to use her, if only she kn
“Why didn’t you tell me that she was threatening you?”Luciano let out, Arielle just stood there looking at him. he should have known Lily would already be threatening Arielle, she had not bothered to tell him, she really didn’t give a fuck about him, and she didn’t want him helping her either because why else would she keep the fact that Lily was threatening to harm both her and her parents from him. Over the last couple of days, he got used to her ignoring him and not wanting to be in his presence, it was hurtful each time she turned away from him or told him to mind his business but he kept reminding himself that he deserved it and that he treated her worse, the truth was that didn’t make it any less hurtful, he was only human and he is not as strong as he thought when it comes to his emotions. He had come in early from work today because he preferred to be close to her, even though she barely says anything to him, he saw her phone when he walked in and ignored it at first but the
Arielle woke up in Luciano’s arms for the first time in a while, it took her a moment to recur what had happened the previous day and she smiled at the memory of what happened, she tried to get up but couldn’t move because she was trapped in his arms and he wasn’t letting go, she gave up and just lay there with him, remembering everything that had happened the night before, it felt so good to be back with him, felt amazing to know she wasn’t alone anymore and that he loves him just as much as she loved him and been away from her hurt him just as much as it had hurt her for being away from him, she was no prophet but she knew from here on, their love would only grow stronger and nothing can separate them. The fact that Lily had been the reason that they finally make up was something, the woman might not know but her corny ways just brought them back together and now they were back to being a team and they will definitely win against Lily no matter what she plans, Arielle knew it in he
“Fucking loser!”Lily yelled flinging her phone away, it was her fault, she should have done what she had to do while that bastard was in jail but she just had to go the hard way by trying to befriend that witch. She should have used force, when he was still in jail, she was weak and vulnerable and would have easily been fooled but she had been stupid and had let her slip. Now that bastard has succeeded in winning her back, making everything harder for her to get through to that man-hunger whore, to think Lily had liked her before and thought she would be useful to her, what a big failure. “What happened again? Is she still refusing?”Perez asked walking into the room in just shorts, the sight of him disgust her but because of those unyielding idiots, she still has to put up with him for a while, someone she was met to have killed already, he shouldn’t still be walking around free and alive, yes, he was going to die and by her hands, he thinks she forgave him for everything he did to
“Baby? Are you in there?”Arielle heard Luciano’s voice outside the restroom but she stood rooted on the spot where she is staring at the stick she held in her hands, she was pregnant, it was unbelievable, she never thought she would be pregnant and had just taken the test because her period was excessively late, normally, it was always late but this time it was late by three weeks and she had to do the test so she had gone to the pharmacy to get the kit, she never thought it would be positive but the stick in her hand told a different story, she was pregnant, she was going to be a mom, they are going to be parents. It’s been over three days since they made up and the past three days saw them getting closer to each other and being all over each other, he only left to work because he had to but he made sure to come back early, they were still using the penthouse because it was closer to his office and to be honest, she liked it here better than at the mansion but she knew they would m
Don's funeral was held three days later, it was a private event, and only family members and close acquittances were allowed in the venue, even at that, trust the media to still carry it, Arielle had expected Lily to show up but she didn’t, maybe Luciano had prevented her from gaining entrance into the venue, since she gave her phone to Luciano, she hasn’t heard from her and she wanted to keep it that way, she wasn’t bored without her phone and it was even better that way. Luciano was doing better now two days after Don was buried, he wasn’t there yet but he was getting there and she was glad he let her in and let her be his support system. Luciano left this morning for the courthouse as it was the first hearing of the case between him and Perez. Arielle had wanted him to postpone it since it was just two days after his grandfather was buried but he had told her he couldn’t because he had to be there since he was the one who filed the case. He had promised to be back early. Arielle
Luciano walked fast into the house, praying to God that the text he just got was a false alert and Arielle was in the house. After the hearing at the courthouse, he had gone back to his office. He had been in the middle of a meeting when the text had come in and he had ignored it until he was done. The meeting lasted for three whole hours, he wished he had checked the text immediately he had seen it. He prayed nothing bad had happened to her and that it was just a prank text. “Arielle?”He called as soon as he walked into the house, he ran to the room that they shared with his heart beating really fast, she wasn’t inside, he walked fast to the restroom but she wasn’t there either, she didn’t tell him that she had anywhere to go and he couldn’t even call her because her phone was with him. He felt a sense of dread creep into him when he looked in the other rooms and she wasn’t there. He got out of the house and practically ran for the elevator, he waited patiently as it slowly went do
Arielle woke up for the third time and tried to shake the sleep off her eyes, everywhere seems dark and she could barely keep her eyes open, she tried to get up but she couldn’t, her body ached too like someone had beaten her up, she struggled to open her eyes and when she finally did, she realized she was laying in an unkempt room, the bed which she laid looked like it was moved to the room recently, there was nothing else in the room except the bed and a table, she couldn’t make out what was on top of the table, she got up and sat on the bed looking around her. Her back ached so much. She tried to remember what happened and burst into tears when everything that happened came rushing to her. It was all her fault for leaving the house, she should have stayed put and talked to Luciano, he would have taken her to the hospital and they would have been home together cuddled up but here she was being held in an unknown location, she knew who it was that got her even though she has not yet
