Luciano watched as she went through different phases of crisis in less than one minute, her expression went from shock, to disbelieve, then anger, and others he couldn’t bother to name, he waited patiently, yup, he definitely had the time to wait because he had been watching her for two weeks now, okay, technically, he hasn’t been watching her but he sent his people to and they made sure to report to him.He had made a in the moment decision after that encounter with his cousin, and also realized his grandfather would never take him seriously if he doesn’t at least try to do what he wants and he wasn’t going to back out now so the bitch better be ready.Thinking about it now while watching her go through an internal crisis, he still couldn’t believe he actually slashed a huge amount of money to obtain her, he had been shocked when her dad had kept insisting that she was the perfect one and he was so desperate to be free of his debt, even his wife had joined him, they were both so desp
Arielle moved away from him, she hated everything that was happening to her right now, hated him even more, and couldn’t quite bring herself to believe anything he was saying.“You are going to have to get used to it, you belong to me,”The damnable man said with confidence.“I do not belong to you, and I will never belong to you, if you gave money to anyone because of me, it is your fault, I can't be brought,”Arielle let out with all the courage she could muster, she wasn’t just going to let him talk about her like she was some kind of commodity and she definitely wasn't his property, his roar of laughter filled the house, and as angry as she was, she couldn't deny that he had rich laughter that would have been considered infectious but they were not in a situation like that and she had no business liking his laughter especially not when he made her feel less of herself.“Dorogoy, it will be much easier for you to believe it and better for you because I am not a very patient man, I
Luciano walked to his car wondering what the fuck he had been thinking when he kissed her, that was so not part of his plans when he had come to see her earlier, but those lips, they were so tempting that he couldn’t resist having a taste, he opened his car and got in shocking both Yoey and the driver.“What? Were you both plotting something? Why are you so shocked?”He asked.“No, we were not, we just didn’t see you coming,”Yoey said, answering for the both of them, he looked suspiciously at them trying to figure out what they were up to.“You would have known if you were at alert,”He said after a moment and there was silence in the car.“Are you going or are we gonna stay here?”He asked when the driver didn’t move, and he apologized and started the car.“Sir? The don has been on the phone a few times already, I didn’t wanna disturb you because you said not to,”Yoey revealed and Luciano turned his attention to him.“What does the old man want now?”He asked as he slightly touched
Arielle sat heavily on the chair after doing a random search of the house and finding nothing, Luciano’s manly and expensive scent still lingered in the room, and the taste of his lips too, she still couldn’t believe she let him kiss her, but even more than the kiss was a bigger fear, which enveloped her as the reality of her situation dawned on her, Luciano had no reason to lie, he won't say shits like that if they were not real, she couldn't keep deluding herself that he was lying on her parents, for one, they were not here.“How could they?”She voiced out as painful tears gathered in her eyes, she always knew they never loved or cared for her but she never once thought they would do something this awful to her, leave her at the mercy of someone as devious as Luciano, like no one, absolutely no one who loves someone will do that, she say in silence all day trying to figure out what her next move would be and nothing came up, she had nothing, she searched the whole house for clues
She suddenly didn’t want to go into her house, the last time she saw him, she not only let him kiss her but also was weak in his presence, she wasn’t a weak girl and she wasn’t one to let anyone especially not a man boss her around.“Why are you guys here again? Don’t you have things to do? I really don’t want you or your boss here, I don’t owe you anything and I didn’t do any business with you guys,”She let out, the other man wasn’t as tough looking as Luciano, he was handsome too from all indications but Luciano was hands down more handsome and probably more evil.“I have nothing to do with anything, don’t speak to me,”He said and walked away, she looked to see about three cars and several other men, what had she been expecting?? Luciano always moves with an envoy.She reluctantly walked towards her house, already dreading coming face to face with her biggest problem, when she unlocked the door and walked in, his voice welcomed her.“She finally came, where have you been honey?”H
“What do you mean she is not there?”Luciano yelled at the phone, he should have known the bitch would pull a fast one on him, maybe he let her off too calmly, or maybe she went for a walk like she did yesterday, the thought of that calmed him a little, she had nowhere to go in the first place.“She is not here, the house is empty, sir,”Martin responded.“She wasn’t there when we got there yesterday either, find her, you have about seven hours to do so,”He said and hung up, he hoped to God that she only went for a walk and not that she ran away, where could she possibly run off to? he should have made them continue watching her but the fact that she hadn’t thought of leaving or running away since he told her that he owns her made him sort of lose his guard around her a little.“Not like she can hide from me,”He said with a smile, she may not know it yet because she might not need it yet but her passport and identification cards are both with him, that was part of the deal when he g
Luciano honestly didn’t care about her background, no one gives a fuck about things like that these days, and besides, her being poor would not be a problem for him because he had no plans on showcasing her after their marriage is done and he has gotten what he wanted, he damn well will dump her at one of his numerous mansions and make sure she barely have access to the real world, of course, he will make sure to care for her needs.“That’s not a problem Yoey, it is not,”“I don’t know, it feels like it will be, and what if Don doesn’t approve of her, you already wasted a lot of money, plus the debt that they didn’t pay,”Yoey pointed out.“Don wants me to get married, I am sure he won’t care who is it that I end up with, or do you want Stacy to be your new madam? Isn’t it better to get someone you can talk to and she will bow in fear?”Luciano asked and Yoey shook his head, both of them knew that Stacy was not the right person, the bitch was so clingy and even go about telling people
Arielle woke up with a start, it took a while to remember where she was and the event of the previous day played roughly in her head, she frowned when she remembered all that had happened since Luciano left her house, the house she also left and never looked back, not as she missed it, she got off the bed and checked the time, she needed to meet with a buyer whom she was able to speak to the previous evening but there was still time until the person arrived.Arielle didn’t have any plans as to what she would do once she has sold the things Luciano bought for her but one thing she knows is that she wasn’t going to be in the state neither was she going to be at a party with the demon of a man, a handsome demon.“Cut it out, he is not admirable, he wants you to be his slave,”Arielle scolded herself. There wasn't much she could do until she successfully sold off the things she had with her which will provide the funds with which she plans on leaving Russia for good and never come back,
Three months later. “Luciano? Get your ass in here,”Arielle yelled for her husband as another wave of intense pain hit her, she let out a loud howl as she felt the pain shoot right to her back, she tried to take slow steady breaths like she had been instructed to during the classes for the first mom that she had attended but nothing was working and the moron she married wasn’t coming out. She breathed in and out a couple of times, counting one to eight back and forth, she waited for the pain to subside before trying to call him again. “LUCIANO IF YOU DON’T GET YOUR ASS IN HERE THIS MINUTE,’’ She yelled louder this time and the door swung open in seconds to reveal the panicking face of her handsome husband who looked like he saw a ghost when he saw the way she was. “What is going on? Are you okay?”He asked. She knew she should be calm with him and not take out her pain-inflicted anger on him but he sounded so dumb and the look on his face, the sudden surge of pain that erupted in
“So? When are you going to agree to my marriage proposal?”Luciano asked, hugging her from behind. She turned and hugged him, her big tummy getting in the way, it has been five months since the whole thing ended and five straight months of pure bliss, she was currently in her sixth month of pregnancy and her tummy was almost bigger than her whole body. Earlier today at his cousin Macko’s wedding party, she had caught him watching her a lot of times but she ignored him each time. Even though she had forgiven him for what he did all those months ago, she was getting her revenge now and it was fun making him beg. “I told you that I am a hard girl,”She reminded him and even though she didn’t see his face, she knew he was sulking. The past five months have done a lot for their relationship, Luciano has been nothing but the devoting lover, always fuzzing over her and making sure she didn’t lack anything. “Pretty please accept me already, I am a poor orphan,”he pleaded. The corny man she
The days after she got away from Lily were pretty much normal for Arielle, aside from the shock she felt now and then when someone opens the door or when she woke up from sleep, she was doing okay, she stayed at home all day and barely left her room, she watched movies and played games, she was never bored. Today, she decided to spend the day in the garden, since the gardener was working, she decided to help him and also learn the names of some of the flowers and plants in the garden. That’s how she spent her morning and some part of her afternoon learning the names of flowers and their varieties and also getting mud in her clothes while she helped the gardener who seemed overwhelmed by her presence at first but slowly got used to her and they sort of became friends. She thanked him for having her after they were done and she went back inside. It was almost time for Luciano to return from work so she took her bath and decided to watch tv. Arielle turned on the TV to keep her enterta
After Luciano left the house, he did a happy little dance while his driver took him to the warehouse. He was beyond happy today, finding out he was going to be a father was the second best news he had this year, the first being when Arielle had told him she still loves him. Everything that brings him happiness was related to her and he wanted to be done with everything so that he can focus on making her happy. After what she had told him yesterday, he had Yoey make further research and even questioned Macko and they realized she was Big Sean all along and she was the one that changed the deal they had, according to Macko, he never did anything with hard drugs and only persuaded Don because he genuinely thought they were going to partner with the government of Nigeria. With everything that happened and how Macko had helped him, it was easier for him to believe his cousin, it was easier now that they are working together, no, he still thinks Macko is a loser and still made sure to remi
Arielle woke up with a startle, at first, she expected to feel the pain of being tied but there was none and when she opened her eyes, she looked around her surrounding for a moment, lost in confusion and trembling with fear, she dreamt of Luciano finding her and bringing her home, she looked around even more and realized she was no longer chained and the room she was in looked clean and she was on a bed. Realization and the memories of the previous day finally crawled into her head. She got off the bed in a haste to make sure she hadn’t dreamt it or imagined it, she opened the door and collided with a hard chest, her heart dropped in fear until she looked up and saw Luciano. “Baby? Where are you going? I didn’t know you were awake already,”He said. She hugged him and held on to him tightly. “I thought it was a dream, I thought I was still there, I was scared,”She cried into his arms which he wrapped around her. “It is not a dream, you are here with me, you, brave woman got yours
Luciano went to his car to get his phone, he had forgotten to take it with him after he dropped it off in his car earlier, maybe Lily has called already, he shouldn’t have left his phone, he opened his car and saw the phone laying on the seat, he picked it up and like he expected he had a couple of missed calls, none from Lily but five from unregistered number, thinking Lily might have changed her call line, he dialed the number as he closed the car and walked back towards the warehouse. “Hello?”He voiced when the call was taken. “He has picked but she is asleep so what do we do?”He heard a woman’s voice in the background but it wasn’t Lily’s voice nor was it a voice he had heard before plus she sounded older. “Hello? Who is this?”he asked as he heard another voice, this time a male. “Hello, she was trying to reach you earlier with my phone but you were not taking your calls, she is sleeping right now, she looks so tired that I can’t bring myself to wake her up.”The voice echo
“Your husband is a fucking asshole! I hate him so much,”Lily yelled out after dropping the call with Luciano, whatever he told her was clearly not what she had wanted to hear and she looked so pissed right now. Arielle was genuinely scared of what she might do to her now, she watched as the older woman paced around and swearing loudly, Arielle prayed silently that she will not take out her anger on her, she couldn’t bear any more pain, she was so scared for her baby, she felt even more sorry for not being able to tell Luciano they were going to have a baby, if only Lily would let her go already, she missed home so much, missed Luciano so fucking much. “Your husband is playing games with me and he thinks he will win this, fucker thinks he can play my game and beat me at it, I will show him that I have been playing this game since forever.” Lily let out. This was the first time she was showing her face after the fight they had and unlike the last time, Lily didn’t get close to her ev
Luciano sat in his office feeling like hell, he hasn’t gone home for the past three days and nothing he has done felt right for him, he couldn’t give up what was remaining of the Siegel name to a mad woman, she was asking for the impossible. Both Yoey and Macko has been with him on those days even though they both went home to refresh themselves, he on the other hand couldn’t leave, they tried without succeeding to get her location through Lily’s phone location but the woman was much too smart and that couldn’t be found, even the car search came to a dead end when they found out that the car’s original owner did not have any idea who the person that took his car was and it was stolen. The police were not made aware neither did he file for a missing person report, he didn’t want those fuckers messing things up when he knew who got his wife. He just needed to figure out where she was at and find her but that was proving to be so hard. “I don’t know what I am going to do, I am so tired
Arielle woke up for the third time and tried to shake the sleep off her eyes, everywhere seems dark and she could barely keep her eyes open, she tried to get up but she couldn’t, her body ached too like someone had beaten her up, she struggled to open her eyes and when she finally did, she realized she was laying in an unkempt room, the bed which she laid looked like it was moved to the room recently, there was nothing else in the room except the bed and a table, she couldn’t make out what was on top of the table, she got up and sat on the bed looking around her. Her back ached so much. She tried to remember what happened and burst into tears when everything that happened came rushing to her. It was all her fault for leaving the house, she should have stayed put and talked to Luciano, he would have taken her to the hospital and they would have been home together cuddled up but here she was being held in an unknown location, she knew who it was that got her even though she has not yet
