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
“I know you don’t, you don’t even look happy, you are always lost in thoughts and you look like you aged a little, I haven’t gone through a breakup before but I have seen people who have and that’s exactly how you look like, I wish you don’t have to do it this way.” Yoey let out. “Yoey, you might be right about me doing this all wrong but I won’t go back now, I rather she hates me and stay away from this messy stuff than have her with me and have her witness all of this, it will get nasty soon and I don’t want her involved, I will fix things once this is over, for now, I can’t, the people we are dealing with are known to do shady things. Luciano responded, leaving no room for further debate. “Yeah boss, I will see you tomorrow, please take a break too,” Yoey said and left, once he was on his own, Luciano stood up from his seat and went to the cabinet in his office, make himself someone coffee, and went to stand by the window, looking out into the busy city, everyone was moving on
“What kind of trash are you spitting right now? Did you forget I was arrested for the murder and that my gun was found at the scene of the crime, how would you think that someone else killed him if not the people you work with, why else did you go into hiding?” Luciano barked at him. “They told me to, they made me believe you will kill me if you find me, I was already hiding before he was killed and I didn’t think of anything else than to stay away and they helped me,”He revealed. “Okay, so why are you here now? You no longer want to hide or they don’t want to help you anymore?” Luciano asked. He couldn’t stop himself from being angry at his cousin, the idiot caused too much damage to the family for him to just be forgiven but he seemed to have some information so no matter how angry he was at him, he had to keep it in check and listen to what he had to say. “I found, what they really wanted, why they approached me and then Don, it was all part of their grand plan, Don and I wer
“I honestly didn’t have anything to lose, I lost everything already but they won’t leave Betty alone, Lily keeps talking to Betty, she keeps threatening to harm Betty, I can’t let them do that, she is the only one that loves and cares about me, also she is carrying my child, I don’t want anything to happen to them,” Macko revealed. He looked so different talking about his woman, for the first time, Luciano could understand him, he would do anything to protect Arielle too, even though she wasn’t with child, he would still go against the world to protect her. “Okay, that I can understand,” Luciano said. “Yeah, I know, you love your wife,” “I do, but right now, she pretty much hates me,” Luciano revealed in sadness. “Why? Because of the divorce? I thought you guys were in it together,” “No, it was all me, and she hates me for what I did,”“Does that mean she is no longer with you? You can’t let her be on her own, that's dangerous, they will go for her, they might turn her against
Arielle stared at her phone not knowing what to do, she was scared to turn it on, if she did she knew it will either start ringing or there will be another photo of her parents waiting for her, Lily and her people were not backing out not even after she told Lily that she already handed everything back to Luciano and they went their separate way already, in fact, she got worse after she told her that and resulted in messaging and calling her every moment that she had to turn her phone off most of the time. It was hard living in a hotel and she didn’t know for how long she would live the way she was now so she had chosen to use a cheaper hotel, not only that, it was further away from the mansion and anywhere near Luciano not like he was looking for her, in fact, she was sure he wasn’t even aware she left home, even if he did, he won't even care, the earlier she knows that, the better for her, one thing though, no matter how she tried to make herself forget him, his thought always find
“Why will I make things up, for start, you are in Solntsevo, right now, at that cheap ass hotel down south and your room number is**” “Stop!” Arielle yelled, cutting her off. “What do you want from me, Lily? Why are you following me around?” She asked, she didn’t know how Lily got her location so accurately. Now more than ever, she would make sure to move by morning. It was already too late to leave she would have, the neighborhood wasn’t good enough for her to walk around at night. “Now we are talking, listen carefully and do as I say and both you and your parents will be just fine, but if you don’t do as I say, I can’t guarantee your safety,”Lily said and Arielle could already tell she was about to do something impossible. “What do you want?” She asked and waited while biting hard on her lips, almost peeling them from fear and anxiety. “See, what I want is very easy, you go to Luciano, you get him to hand over whatever shares he has of the Siegel empire to you and you will
Luciano felt relief wash over his body as he wrapped her in a hug, she was okay, she was fine and he found her before they did, he thought he won’t find her, thought the worse when her phone finally started ringing but she didn’t take her calls, he thought the worse had happened to her, he imagined her laid in some cold dirty floor, chained, until Dreg had said she was at this hotel, it came as a shock to him because she had enough money to go to a better place why she chooses such a rundown hotel in a place like this was beyond him but he was just glad she was okay and nothing happened to her like he had thought when he couldn’t find her. “You are okay now, I found you,” He whispered as he held her tighter, he expected her to be mad at him but she was hugging him too, he said a small thank you to the universe, well too early because she pushed him away at that moment and made to go back into the room but he didn’t let her close the door on him, he pushed his way into the room and c
