Arielle felt like her heart was going to explode in pain, she tried so hard not to feel hurt and prepared herself so much for when she meets him, telling herself all the way through the drive here that all she wanted was to hear it directly from him, hear that they were over from his mouth while she looked at him but when he did say those words, it hurt so bad, and then he kissed her and made love to her only to say the worse shit to her right after yet she didn’t hate him, she felt hurt of course but she just couldn’t bring herself to hate him, she hated herself for it, she should hate him, that was the right thing to do after how he treated her but like a fool she still cared for him and wished he overcomes his present situation, she didn’t like meeting him like that, he lost weight and also looked like he hasn’t been taking care of himself, he didn’t even bother to shave. Yoey was waiting for her at the entrance with a look of pity, she so wanted to beat him up for looking at her
After signing, a thought suddenly came to her, at first, she ignored it but the more she thought about it, the more it made sense, why else would Luciano sign over everything he owned to her, except he was trying to safeguard then and signing them over to her means they will no longer be in his name which means they can no longer associate everything with his name, she hoped that wasn’t the case, she knew she will find out soon if it was a mistake add if they really plan to use, she manage to fall into a restless sleep at about four am on Saturday morning only to be woken by a knock on the door, she sluggishly get off the bed and went to unlock the door and saw Yoey standing outside the door, she knew what he came for so she went back into the room and brought it. “I signed it, I can leave the house freely, now right?”Arielle asked as she handed over the file to him, he looked surprised and she wondered why when he had wanted her to sign so much yesterday, and he was here so early f
“That’s too fast, is it even possible?” She asked herself as she read the new article, finding out from the news she just became one of the richest people in the whole of Russia after her husband now ex-husband, signed those papers, it was overwhelming to read about and totally surreal. “He really did everything and made me out to be the villain, a gold digger? A freeloader, a vile disgusting woman who only marries men for money? I am none of those things,” She let out as she dumped her phone and paced up and down, she was so angry and sad, Luciano really did all this to her while knowing she would never do anything like that. “I am going to make him pay,”she let out still pacing up and down, how could he do this much damage to her in just two days, broke her heart, reduced her to a sex slave, and turned her into a bad woman all because he didn’t want to lose what he owned, why did he have to do so many bad things to her to achieve that? She never hurt him in any way or went agai
“Siegel! Once again, you have a visitor,” The officer in charge of him announced and Luciano got up to go see Yoey, he already knew it would be him, who else will visit him on a Monday evening, he had been expecting him anyway. “One thing being here did for you is let you rest, I wish I can say the same for myself,” Yoey said tapping on the glass that separated them. “You can come and take my place, I won’t mind,” He responded as he took his seat, after he signed those papers and the news got out, they got a little more strict with him, now he couldn’t sign anything in here and he couldn’t meet people in person and they had to talk with a glass wall separating them, he didn’t mind that at all. “No thank you,”Yoey said and frowned. “What’s going on? What happened to your face?” Luciano asked hoping something bad had not happened again, he was tired of dealing with sad and unfortunate news. “Nothing happened, at least I hope so,” Yoey said. Still, he was frowning. “What are
The next day, he was called in for questioning and all those formal stuff and he thought he would be released after that but they just questioned him and sent him back to his cell and that’s how the week ran out with Luciano being called in for questioning nonstop, the police were having a field day prolonging his release that he was not the one to pull the trigger, they just wouldn’t let him go and he didn’t know why, the guys that were with Don that night clarified that he wasn’t the one that shot him and surprisingly, there was a CCTV was so close to losing it already, now he couldn’t even speak to anyone, not even after it was proven that footage that showed him entering the house a good twenty minutes after the intruder reportedly got in, the men didn’t know it was and they concluded someone must have hired him, but then even if they assume he was the one that hired the killer, it was not enough to still keep in custody, he knew what they were trying to do, they were trying to fi
Arielle listened quietly to the news that proves what she had known from the beginning, Luciano was innocent and he would be released tomorrow, it was good news and she should be happy that he is free but when she thought about what he did to her and how he went out of his way to make sure the public hated and bashed her, she couldn’t feel happy for him. Well now that he is free, it was time for the real battle to begin because she already knew the first thing he would do is try to get back everything he gave her, she didn’t want it but she would make him suffer before she gives them back and be out of his life the minute she does, he didn’t deserve her, she deserved better than a man who would drop her and turn her to a public enemy the minute things gets ugly. The police found evidence that proved he was innocent and she thought he would be released at the beginning of last week but they prolong it for as long as they could, they must have wanted to find something on him which had
“What I am going to do is give him back everything, spend some time with you until I am okay, and then get out of Moscow, go somewhere far, and start a new life,” Arielle responded and heard Lily hiss. “That’s nonsense, how about you don’t give anything back and fight for what is now rightfully yours, I mean he willingly signed everything to you, don’t be so goody two shoes and treat a man exactly the way he treated you,”Lily advised. Arielle knew she meant well but she couldn’t do that not when she knew why he had done it in the first place, even though he went about it the wrong way. “I can’t do that Lily, nothing is mine, you and I both know why he did what he did and now that he is back, even though I plan on making him suffer a little, I am going to give everything back, he worked hard for them,” Arielle told her. “That’s not the right thing to do, why he signed it over to you is none of your business what concerns you now is making sure he cannot get his hands back on them
“I didn’t kill him, I didn’t even know he was going to be killed, I just wanted to get what I could from him, I am not a killer,” Lily yelled at her. “You might not have killed him but you know who did and you kept quiet about it just so you could steal from a dead man, Luciano was right about not trusting you all along, I should have listened to him, I can’t believe I bought into your lies and thought you were indeed a good person,”Arielle let out picking up her bag, she was done talking with Lily, the woman was far too invested in her evil plans to see the errors in her way. “If you give up everything back to Luciano, you will regret it,” She yelled after she and Arielle stopped for a moment and stared back at the woman she thought was her friend, the same person she had told everything about her, the one she had spent one whole week with, the one she thought will be her source of strength once she breaks free from Luciano but all she could see was a whole different person that
