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
Luciano walked into his penthouse wanting to do nothing but take a bath a get some much-needed sleep, after the press conference, he decided that he deserved to rest before he kills himself in the process of trying to fix things for his family, he was the only one who still had brain cells left in the whole family as the others were beyond exhausted, his uncle Laz had to go get shots at the hospital after nights of endless brainstorming to find a last solution, the poor man hadn’t signed up for having to come and fix his older brothers mess, according to him, he had been in Hawaii when the call had come, he had to abandon his vacation and run back to Russia, apparently, uncle Laz had warned Don too but the old man had not listened to his younger brother just like he had not listened to his grandson, but when it was time to fix his mess, they were the first people he thought of calling. Luciano spent the whole week trying to fix the mess Deda made by mixing with the wrong crowd, the d
“I did good coming here, I almost changed my mind,” She said when they broke the kiss, he was glad she didn’t change her mind. “You did well by coming here, I am sorry I didn’t call you as I promised, it has been hectic and I just got a short break today,” He explained. “I know, you didn’t even respond to my text, or my calls so I figured you were cramped up with work,” She said, fixing his hair with her fingers, he didn’t even know she called and texted, he has not touched his personal phone since the whole thing started. “I honestly didn’t know you called, I am sorry I ignored you,” “You keep apologizing, that’s not like you Mr. Don’t worry, I understand, I brought you something to eat, you look like you haven’t been eating much,” She said as she let him go and went over to the basket she had brought with her, he didn’t even realize he hasn’t eaten anything except for the quick breakfast he had at the office earlier today while preparing for the press conference, if she hadn
You know the bad feeling one gets when one wakes up from sleep sometimes, the feeling that something was wrong, in a very bad way, that’s the kind of feeling Arielle woke up with, first Luciano wasn’t there when she woke up and he looked like he left a long time ago, she tried to shake the feeling off, maybe he had to return to the office early and he hadn’t wanted to wake her up, but even as she took her bath, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that something bad has happened, she quickly finished bathing and went to get her phone to call him but he didn’t take her call, after trying four more times, she gave up and dropped her phone, hoping that he will call her back soon, she didn’t want to leave the penthouse without him showing up. Her fears were confirmed when she decided to open the internet. She jumped and was on her feet so fast when she saw the headline of the first article that popped up, it read. ‘DON SIEGEL, FOUND DEAD IN HIS HOME’ Arielle blinked hoping she was seeing
