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
“Yes, that’s true and even I am working based off a giving instructions, I can’t go against what I am being told, just stay home so that you can be safe, I really don’t have the time to deal with this right now, there are a lot more important things that need my attention, if you would excuse me.” He replied and started walking away, at first Arielle was much too dumbfounded to say a word and just watched him walk away then she got her voice back and yelled for him to stop. “Who the fuck gave that instruction? I want to see the person, why would they not want me to go see my husband and what right do they have to say so?’ Arielle asked, he wasn’t making any sense, no one had the right to tell her to not go see her husband, she needed to see him and make sure he was okay. “The instructions were given by the boss,” Yoey revealed. Arielle waited for him to say which boss it is because it obviously can’t be Luciano. “Which boss are you talking about here and where can I find him to
Luciano sat looking lost in the interrogation room at the police station where he had been brought in very early today, it still felt like he was having a bad dream because nothing that has happened in the last couple of hours feels real, Luciano Siegel getting arrested was not something he ever thought would happen, it never crossed his mind once that he would be cuffed up and dragged into a police van, never thought he would be trapped in a cell nor an interrogation room but that’s what was happening right now. “So, when are you going to start speaking up? This is not a case when you get to keep quiet, this involves murder Siegel,” The officer said but Luciano chose to not listen or answer him, yes, he knew the man was only doing his job but he has been asked this same question since he was brought here and his answer has been the same but they chose to not believe him, he had no reason to kill Don, he still couldn’t bring himself to believe that Don was gone. After he got the ca
Luciano waited for Yoey to show up, it was almost ten pm and they only reason he was allowed to stay waiting for Yoey till this time was because one of the officers in charge was a close acquittance who was able to pull some strings for him, not enough to get him out of jail though, he spoke to uncle Laz earlier and he had told him they were doing everything to get him out, he already knew it would take up to a week or more before he would be allowed out of here, he couldn’t just sit in cell and be quiet till then, he needed to work on his own too, prove his innocence by finding the real killer and also make sure his assets were safe’ which is why he had got his own people working overtime to find whoever had gotten into Don’s villa and killed him and some of his men, the ones who survived were still not awake from coma yet so until they could talk, he wouldn’t be leaving here, he hoped they wake up soon so that he can get out of here and do the needful, one thing was sure, whoever ki
Arielle couldn’t get a single sleep that night, she tossed and turned all through the night, she was worried for Luciano and sad for his grandfather, before she went to bed, she turned on the news and they showed when he had been moved to the morgue, it had been horrific to watch as she couldn’t believe that the man who had welcome her to the Siegel family over two months ago was no more, the fact that she never got to know him hurt and she had cried thinking about how Luciano must feel losing his closest family member, what makes it even more painful was he wasn’t allowed to mourn, he was locked up and accused of murdering him. She woke up early the next morning with swollen eyes and a banging headache but she didn’t let that stop her as she had told Lily she would go see her today, she got into the shower and took a cold bath, before dressing up in simple plain black jeans and paired it with a black top, she packed her hair up in a messy bun and stepped out of the room, she didn’t
“Such a weak woman,” She belittled herself, how could she fall for him so easily, she knew the answer to her own question, it was hard not to love him when he was the most caring person she has ever known, he worked his way into her heart even though she had built a wall over it, how could she not love him when he was the only person who has truly cared for her and cared about her needs, she could lie and say it was just gratitude to him that she felt but what would she gain from lying to herself, of course she wasn’t going to admit it to him, he warned her not to fall for him and she wasn’t about to dump her feelings on him, she just wanted all this problems to be over and for him to come back to her, she would love him in her heart and show him with her actions and when it would be time to say goodbye, she would do so knowing she experienced what it was like to love someone and she would take that feelings with her and cherish it forever. she already knew it won't be as easy as she
“Why do you want me to sign a divorce paper?” She yelled at Yoey throwing the file away as if it was hot and had burnt her, she waited for him to explain but he just stood up from where he sat, picked up the file, and set it back on the table. “Why do you want me to sign a divorce paper? You can’t tell me this is what my husband wants too because I know that’s not what he wants so if this is some kind of sick joke, you better stop it because it is not funny, this is not even the time to make jokes like this, what kind of a person are you?” Arielle yelled at him when he refused to say anything, she couldn’t believe what was happening, he didn’t want her to meet up with Luciano, and now he brought a divorce paper on behalf of Luciano which she was sure he wasn’t aware of and now she couldn’t help but think Yoey didn’t just hate her a small amount, he hated her a lot and he wants to use this moment when Luciano isn’t around to get rid of her, maybe he thought she would be stupid enoug
“Siegel, you got a call,” The officer informed opening the door to the room Luciano was in, he got given a better room, which was still bad compared to what he was used to but it was better than the other room and he had a little privacy there, he took the phone from the officer who walked away, his legal team was definitely pulling a lot of strings for him, being moved to an enclosed room and being allowed to take calls were not things the police would readily do for free. “Yoey? Why are you calling instead of coming to see me? What happened to what I told you to do?” Luciano asked when he picked up the call, it was Friday and he was supposed to have made Arielle sign already. “About that, I am currently at the mansion,”Yoey informed. “Okay, has she signed? Get the papers to the lawyers and make sure everything is finalized today, and you have to bring it here for me to sign too, you don’t have a lot of time young man,” Luciano said. “Boss, we have a problem, your wife,” “Wh
