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
“You have lost your mind. I was away for two short weeks and you lost your mind?” He asked and Arielle glared at him. “You just got back and your first thought is to pick a fight with me? Why?” Arielle asked. “I wonder why, what do you think? I got released and got back home and you are not here, waited for you to show up only for you to be coming back by this time of the night, since when do you go out or keep late nights?”he barked out, for someone who just got released, he cleaned up pretty fast, shaved, and even cut his hair, he didn't look like he was waiting up for her because he was worried about her, he just wanted to pick a fight with her. “I don’t know what crawled up on your trousers and got it twisted Luciano but you have no right to question what I do, I don’t really have the strength to deal with you right now, so I am just going to pretend that this never happened, welcome back though,” Arielle said and matched upstairs ignoring his shout for her to come back, sh
“Where are you coming from? What have you been up to all week? If you don’t tell me, I will ask the driver and the bodyguards, better to tell me yourself or,” “Or what? What are you going to do? What can you do?” Arielle yelled cutting him off. “You learned to talk back didn’t you,”he said and she eyed him. ‘When did I not talk back to you Luciano? When?” She asked folding her hands against her chest. “So you are not going to tell me where you have been all day?” He asked, ignoring her question. “I am not obligated to answer that, instead of being so arrogant and whatnot, if I were you, I would be begging on my knees,”she let out. “And why would I do that?” He asked coming back to stand in front of her again. “What do you think?” Arielle asked and walked away from him. “I see you grew some wings but I am sorry to break it to you, you are nothing without me,”“That will be you Mr. I can call the cops to come bundle you out of here, wait, I don’t need the cops, I can have
Arielle woke up the next morning in a bad mood, she wasn’t looking forward to the day at all, she woke up to another threatening message from Lily, and on top of that, she had a banging headache, she just wanted to stay in bed all day and that’s what she did until Luciano walked into her room without knocking, one would think he would let her be after their confrontation last night but no, he just has to be the agent of darkness functioned against her, she glared at him, how can he look so good right now when she looked like hell and felt like hell. “Don’t you have better things to do than being here? What do you want this time?” She asked with a frown. “Ooh my lady, once we are done with this, you won’t have to deal with me anymore,”he said and sat down. “And what’s this about? I want to be alone,” she said and waited for him to talk. “It is about our little fight for ownership, I want us to resolve it right now,” He stated. “And what if I am not in the mood to talk right now
“Are you still not going home today? It has been a week boss,” Yoey said when he walked into the office and Luciano looked up from what he was doing, his assistant was all set to go home for the day but not him, he had no home to go to, Arielle hated him and he was to blame for it, he didn’t want to face her just yet until he has fully resolved the whole thing, he was getting there. In the past week, he has been able to link Lily to Perez and found out who she was before Don had found her, he found out her real name was Lauretta Uttar and she was pretty much a freeloader, everything about her was all wrong, she was once a mistress to another rich man who died too, what’s more, shocking was finding out she was Perez’s mistress too, she had been two-timing his grandfather, not like he had been surprised to find that out, what did surprise him was the fact that the person she was seeing turned out to be Perez of all people, the bastard came to see him as soon as he heard he got out and
