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
The ride back to the office was quiet, Luciano wanted to take her directly to the penthouse but he already told Yoey to meet him at the office and he couldn’t cancel, she wasn’t even looking at him, he messed up so bad, he didn’t know how he was going to fix the relationship he broke just yet but he wanted to fix things, life would be hell without her and he confirmed it tonight already, somehow, he couldn’t figure out how but the woman sitting away from him became the most important person in his life and he wanted to keep her close to him forever. When they got to the office, she walked ahead of him without saying a word to him, and he followed silently behind her. “Boss, you are here, thank God,”Yoey said when he entered the office before Arielle did, she had waited for him to enter first and followed behind him. “Wow, you guys have made up already? You finally listened to me?”Yoey asked when he saw Arielle, Luciano wished that was the case but they were far from making up. Th
Arielle pretended to be sleeping but she couldn’t help listening in on their conversation, they were talking about Lily, they knew she was an evil person, and from what they were saying, Arielle realized Lily might be the one who killed Don which means she had lied when she had told her she wasn’t the one that killed him, what can’t that woman do? Arielle couldn’t lie, she felt relief and safe now that she was with Luciano, plus he told her he loves her, she knew she would be a fool to just believe him and forgive him after everything he put her through but he was right about her being safer with him, that’s why she had come with him, not because he had said he loves her, she was putting her safety first. the fact that they knew just what Lily was told her all she needed to know, she was sure Lily knew they know about her which was why she wanted her to get through to Luciano and get what she needed for her, or maybe she is not aware yet and was just trying to use her, if only she kn
“Why didn’t you tell me that she was threatening you?”Luciano let out, Arielle just stood there looking at him. he should have known Lily would already be threatening Arielle, she had not bothered to tell him, she really didn’t give a fuck about him, and she didn’t want him helping her either because why else would she keep the fact that Lily was threatening to harm both her and her parents from him. Over the last couple of days, he got used to her ignoring him and not wanting to be in his presence, it was hurtful each time she turned away from him or told him to mind his business but he kept reminding himself that he deserved it and that he treated her worse, the truth was that didn’t make it any less hurtful, he was only human and he is not as strong as he thought when it comes to his emotions. He had come in early from work today because he preferred to be close to her, even though she barely says anything to him, he saw her phone when he walked in and ignored it at first but the
Arielle woke up in Luciano’s arms for the first time in a while, it took her a moment to recur what had happened the previous day and she smiled at the memory of what happened, she tried to get up but couldn’t move because she was trapped in his arms and he wasn’t letting go, she gave up and just lay there with him, remembering everything that had happened the night before, it felt so good to be back with him, felt amazing to know she wasn’t alone anymore and that he loves him just as much as she loved him and been away from her hurt him just as much as it had hurt her for being away from him, she was no prophet but she knew from here on, their love would only grow stronger and nothing can separate them. The fact that Lily had been the reason that they finally make up was something, the woman might not know but her corny ways just brought them back together and now they were back to being a team and they will definitely win against Lily no matter what she plans, Arielle knew it in he
“Fucking loser!”Lily yelled flinging her phone away, it was her fault, she should have done what she had to do while that bastard was in jail but she just had to go the hard way by trying to befriend that witch. She should have used force, when he was still in jail, she was weak and vulnerable and would have easily been fooled but she had been stupid and had let her slip. Now that bastard has succeeded in winning her back, making everything harder for her to get through to that man-hunger whore, to think Lily had liked her before and thought she would be useful to her, what a big failure. “What happened again? Is she still refusing?”Perez asked walking into the room in just shorts, the sight of him disgust her but because of those unyielding idiots, she still has to put up with him for a while, someone she was met to have killed already, he shouldn’t still be walking around free and alive, yes, he was going to die and by her hands, he thinks she forgave him for everything he did to
“Baby? Are you in there?”Arielle heard Luciano’s voice outside the restroom but she stood rooted on the spot where she is staring at the stick she held in her hands, she was pregnant, it was unbelievable, she never thought she would be pregnant and had just taken the test because her period was excessively late, normally, it was always late but this time it was late by three weeks and she had to do the test so she had gone to the pharmacy to get the kit, she never thought it would be positive but the stick in her hand told a different story, she was pregnant, she was going to be a mom, they are going to be parents. It’s been over three days since they made up and the past three days saw them getting closer to each other and being all over each other, he only left to work because he had to but he made sure to come back early, they were still using the penthouse because it was closer to his office and to be honest, she liked it here better than at the mansion but she knew they would m
Don's funeral was held three days later, it was a private event, and only family members and close acquittances were allowed in the venue, even at that, trust the media to still carry it, Arielle had expected Lily to show up but she didn’t, maybe Luciano had prevented her from gaining entrance into the venue, since she gave her phone to Luciano, she hasn’t heard from her and she wanted to keep it that way, she wasn’t bored without her phone and it was even better that way. Luciano was doing better now two days after Don was buried, he wasn’t there yet but he was getting there and she was glad he let her in and let her be his support system. Luciano left this morning for the courthouse as it was the first hearing of the case between him and Perez. Arielle had wanted him to postpone it since it was just two days after his grandfather was buried but he had told her he couldn’t because he had to be there since he was the one who filed the case. He had promised to be back early. Arielle
