Luciano went to his car to get his phone, he had forgotten to take it with him after he dropped it off in his car earlier, maybe Lily has called already, he shouldn’t have left his phone, he opened his car and saw the phone laying on the seat, he picked it up and like he expected he had a couple of missed calls, none from Lily but five from unregistered number, thinking Lily might have changed her call line, he dialed the number as he closed the car and walked back towards the warehouse. “Hello?”He voiced when the call was taken. “He has picked but she is asleep so what do we do?”He heard a woman’s voice in the background but it wasn’t Lily’s voice nor was it a voice he had heard before plus she sounded older. “Hello? Who is this?”he asked as he heard another voice, this time a male. “Hello, she was trying to reach you earlier with my phone but you were not taking your calls, she is sleeping right now, she looks so tired that I can’t bring myself to wake her up.”The voice echo
Arielle woke up with a startle, at first, she expected to feel the pain of being tied but there was none and when she opened her eyes, she looked around her surrounding for a moment, lost in confusion and trembling with fear, she dreamt of Luciano finding her and bringing her home, she looked around even more and realized she was no longer chained and the room she was in looked clean and she was on a bed. Realization and the memories of the previous day finally crawled into her head. She got off the bed in a haste to make sure she hadn’t dreamt it or imagined it, she opened the door and collided with a hard chest, her heart dropped in fear until she looked up and saw Luciano. “Baby? Where are you going? I didn’t know you were awake already,”He said. She hugged him and held on to him tightly. “I thought it was a dream, I thought I was still there, I was scared,”She cried into his arms which he wrapped around her. “It is not a dream, you are here with me, you, brave woman got yours
After Luciano left the house, he did a happy little dance while his driver took him to the warehouse. He was beyond happy today, finding out he was going to be a father was the second best news he had this year, the first being when Arielle had told him she still loves him. Everything that brings him happiness was related to her and he wanted to be done with everything so that he can focus on making her happy. After what she had told him yesterday, he had Yoey make further research and even questioned Macko and they realized she was Big Sean all along and she was the one that changed the deal they had, according to Macko, he never did anything with hard drugs and only persuaded Don because he genuinely thought they were going to partner with the government of Nigeria. With everything that happened and how Macko had helped him, it was easier for him to believe his cousin, it was easier now that they are working together, no, he still thinks Macko is a loser and still made sure to remi
The days after she got away from Lily were pretty much normal for Arielle, aside from the shock she felt now and then when someone opens the door or when she woke up from sleep, she was doing okay, she stayed at home all day and barely left her room, she watched movies and played games, she was never bored. Today, she decided to spend the day in the garden, since the gardener was working, she decided to help him and also learn the names of some of the flowers and plants in the garden. That’s how she spent her morning and some part of her afternoon learning the names of flowers and their varieties and also getting mud in her clothes while she helped the gardener who seemed overwhelmed by her presence at first but slowly got used to her and they sort of became friends. She thanked him for having her after they were done and she went back inside. It was almost time for Luciano to return from work so she took her bath and decided to watch tv. Arielle turned on the TV to keep her enterta
“So? When are you going to agree to my marriage proposal?”Luciano asked, hugging her from behind. She turned and hugged him, her big tummy getting in the way, it has been five months since the whole thing ended and five straight months of pure bliss, she was currently in her sixth month of pregnancy and her tummy was almost bigger than her whole body. Earlier today at his cousin Macko’s wedding party, she had caught him watching her a lot of times but she ignored him each time. Even though she had forgiven him for what he did all those months ago, she was getting her revenge now and it was fun making him beg. “I told you that I am a hard girl,”She reminded him and even though she didn’t see his face, she knew he was sulking. The past five months have done a lot for their relationship, Luciano has been nothing but the devoting lover, always fuzzing over her and making sure she didn’t lack anything. “Pretty please accept me already, I am a poor orphan,”he pleaded. The corny man she
Three months later. “Luciano? Get your ass in here,”Arielle yelled for her husband as another wave of intense pain hit her, she let out a loud howl as she felt the pain shoot right to her back, she tried to take slow steady breaths like she had been instructed to during the classes for the first mom that she had attended but nothing was working and the moron she married wasn’t coming out. She breathed in and out a couple of times, counting one to eight back and forth, she waited for the pain to subside before trying to call him again. “LUCIANO IF YOU DON’T GET YOUR ASS IN HERE THIS MINUTE,’’ She yelled louder this time and the door swung open in seconds to reveal the panicking face of her handsome husband who looked like he saw a ghost when he saw the way she was. “What is going on? Are you okay?”He asked. She knew she should be calm with him and not take out her pain-inflicted anger on him but he sounded so dumb and the look on his face, the sudden surge of pain that erupted in
"Arielle? the director wants to see you,"Arielle heard her co-worker Mary say, she stopped what she was doing and looked up at her."What? why?"she asked. "Do you think I know? how would I know? you can do yourself some good and go find out yourself, I already did my part,"Mary responded.Arielle was used to getting negative vibes from her co-workers, no one here liked her and it wasn't something new, she was used to not being liked by anyone, in her twenty-four years of living, the only people that have come close to liking her were her mom and stepdad, even her own dad didn't want anything to do with her and had left her mom before she was born, her stepdad, however, didn't leave her but she didn't feel all that much love from him either, but at least he was there, her mom, well, she couldn't define her relationship with her mom even though they lived together, they barely interact and it was just like that."Are you just going to stand there a
Arielle stared at her stepfather, she honestly didn't want to be here, she shouldn't have come home in the first place, not like she had anywhere to be, maybe she would have taken a walk and she won't have been here listening to him talk about marriage.“Your dad borrowed money in your name, and I found out about it, he practically used you as collateral and if he can't pay back, you will have to pay,”Her mom said and Arielle turned in her direction.“What? What do you mean?”She asked her mom but she didn’t say anything again, she turned to her dad.“Dad? What did mom just say?”She asked. She couldn’t take her mom seriously, she was always talking nonsense.“That’s why I wanted you to agree to get married and we won’t be having any issues, I just need to let him know and my debt will be off,”He boldly stated and Arielle’s eyes widened in shock."Dad, please tell me this is not true, you are joking, right? You are pulling one of those tricks on me again,"Arielle said willing her s

Who is this?”he asked as he heard another voice, this time a male. “Hello, she was trying to reach you earlier with my phone but you were not taking your calls, she is sleeping right now, she looks so tired that I can’t bring myself to wake her up.”The voice echo
“Your husband is a fucking asshole! I hate him so much,”Lily yelled out after dropping the call with Luciano, whatever he told her was clearly not what she had wanted to hear and she looked so pissed right now. Arielle was genuinely scared of what she might do to her now, she watched as the older woman paced around and swearing loudly, Arielle prayed silently that she will not take out her anger on her, she couldn’t bear any more pain, she was so scared for her baby, she felt even more sorry for not being able to tell Luciano they were going to have a baby, if only Lily would let her go already, she missed home so much, missed Luciano so fucking much. “Your husband is playing games with me and he thinks he will win this, fucker thinks he can play my game and beat me at it, I will show him that I have been playing this game since forever.” Lily let out. This was the first time she was showing her face after the fight they had and unlike the last time, Lily didn’t get close to her ev
Luciano sat in his office feeling like hell, he hasn’t gone home for the past three days and nothing he has done felt right for him, he couldn’t give up what was remaining of the Siegel name to a mad woman, she was asking for the impossible. Both Yoey and Macko has been with him on those days even though they both went home to refresh themselves, he on the other hand couldn’t leave, they tried without succeeding to get her location through Lily’s phone location but the woman was much too smart and that couldn’t be found, even the car search came to a dead end when they found out that the car’s original owner did not have any idea who the person that took his car was and it was stolen. The police were not made aware neither did he file for a missing person report, he didn’t want those fuckers messing things up when he knew who got his wife. He just needed to figure out where she was at and find her but that was proving to be so hard. “I don’t know what I am going to do, I am so tired
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
