“So, this is where you disappeared to?” Arielle heard Luciano say as he opened the door to her room, she smiled at him, over the past couple of days, she has made it a habit to leave his room while he sleeps, it was better than just watching him sleep, she wasn’t about to set herself up by telling him that though. So far, she enjoyed being married to him, not only was he an attentive lover, he was a good listener too, he listened to her rant about the skills she could probably learn if she decides not to go back to school and even gave his input, they have had a lot of pillow talks in the last couple of days most of it being her talking and him listening, she couldn’t exactly call him her friend but they kind of felt like that to her, he walked up to her and laid next to her on the bed. “Are you ready for tomorrow? It’s a nine-hour long flight and another one hour to get from Males to our villa,” He said pulling her to him, yeah, they were leaving for their honeymoon tomorrow, one
Luciano stared at the email Yoey had sent him and frowned, Don was still going at it making sure he erase him from the family-related issues, it has been days now, and over the past days, Don has gone from threatening him to actually removing him from his post in the family business, thankfully, he had not bother to move his office when he became the head of the family business if not, he would have had to move office again, it would probably have made headlines by now, of course it would hit the news soon enough, once he returns and no longer associate with the family related business they will definitely know, not like he was bothered, he planned on staying away until Don comes back to his senses, if he doesn’t then, it will be his lose. Don cutting him off won’t do a thing to him or his business, it would only give him more time to focus on his business, he sent a quick reply to Yoey and turned off his phone, he promised Ariel that she would have him all to herself for the whole
They spent most of the time during the week in their room, or by the pool, they made love everywhere and anywhere, the first time they had made love by the pool, Arielle had been scared someone would walk in on them but he had assured her that won’t happen, after that, the pool became one of their favorite spots, especially during the cool evenings, the days flew by and before they knew it was their last day. Arielle woke up alone that morning more like afternoon because it was past twelve already, anyway, it was the first time alone since they got there, she looked around the villa for her husband but he was no-where to be seen, she finally gave up looking for him and went back to their room only to realize he had left a note for her, she reprimanded herself for not seeing it earlier and panicking for nothing, she stared at what was written on the note and smiled. “Don’t miss me too much, will be back before you know it, zolotse. Xoxo,” The note read, he called her darling, she co
After they returned from their honeymoon in Maldives, they kind of fell into a routine, Luciano left for work each morning and came back before nine pm and they spend the night together, their weekends were spent in each other’s company, the only time she had to sleep alone for four days was when he had traveled to France for a business trip and he had made sure to call her each night, they got closer and the more Arielle got to know him, the better he became, he got her things when she didn’t ask for it and made sure to ask her how her day went, their pillow talks became longer with each passing day and of course, the sex got even better, at a point, she decided to just go on pills and they started doing it raw, and boy did it open her eyes to even more goodness, in all, life has been great to her. Two months of marriage now and there wasn’t a moment she regretted yet, she hoped it will remain like that for the remaining times they were to be married, yeah, she didn’t forget that wh
“Hello,” she voiced anxiously. “Hello, good day, am I on to Miss Marvel?” The voice echoed over the phone, Arielle glanced her husband’s way before answering, she had not used his name in registering and wondered if he would have a problem with it, to be fair, she already got the form before their marriage registration got finalized. “Yes, this is Arielle Marvel,” She answered, turning away from Luciano. “Good, this call is on behalf of the management of MSMS, we will like to inform you that you passed our entrance exams, you are welcome to our school, and you are to resume the new academic school year in two months, please visit the school websites for any other information, congratulations and have a great day,” The voice at the end of the phone said and Arielle’s heart leaped for joy, she got in, she did it on her own. “Thank you very much and have a pleasant day too,” She said and the call ended. “So?’ Luciano asked when she remained silent after the call ended, she slow
Luciano looked around and realized that Arielle was no longer in the room, he stopped typing and cursed at himself as he recurred the last thing he had said to her, he tossed his phone on the bed as he walked out of his room still cursing at himself, he already knew where she would be at and walked straight up there, he checked and as he expected, the door was locked. “Arielle? Baby, open the door,” He said as he continued knocking on the door but she did not respond. “Arielle, come on,”Luciano pleaded, he knew he shouldn’t have spoken to her like that and he didn’t want them to be fighting when he leaves because he wasn’t sure he would be back tonight, this was all Don’s fault, if only Don had listened to him, they won’t have the situation right now, his fears just got confirmed and now just barely two months after he let the family business be run by Don alone, they were already running at a lost, thanks to him signing documents without reading properly, he had warned him but th
Luciano arrived at Don’s villa exactly twenty minutes after he left home, by the time he got there, he already figured out that their loss was on the millions side, investors were pulling out and their stock already dropped by thirty percent, he couldn’t stop the lost, all he needed to do was damages control. “Where is he?’ he asked the men at the entrance, and they pointed him to where Don was, he was with his assistant who excused himself as soon as he walked him, Don had his reading glasses on for the first time since forever and he had a serious expression which was different from the expression he had the day he had told him to suck it up and not think too much about himself, well guess he finally saw the light after losing so much in one day, a wake-up call was needed. “You are here, I am losing it,” Don said as soon as he sat down, Luciano wanted to rub it in his face and tell him he deserved what he got for not listening to him but the old man already looked like he was goi
After Luciano left, Arielle tried to just go to bed since she didn’t have anything else to do but she just couldn’t fall asleep, she was worried for Luciano even though he had assured her that he will be okay before he left, she just couldn’t rub off the feeling that something wasn’t right and that the coming days were going to be hectic for him, earlier when he had followed her and apologized she had realized that she wasn’t alone in whatever feeling she had for him, no it wasn’t love, more like companionship, they both relied on each other and didn’t want to be on each other’s bad side which made her believe their relationship will only grow better as the times goes by, who knows, by the time two years come by, they would remain friends even after they divorce, she wanted that, wanted to remain his friend for a long time because he was the first person that knew her and actually saw her, cared about the things she liked and went out of his way to do those things for her, for her, it
