CHAPTER 10
LUCIANA MILANO “ you won’t fucking believe who I just saw right now” Lynn yelled as she walked into my apartment with Ophelia walking behind her. Once she saw him standing against the counter her face lit up like a Christmas tree. She ran and jumped on top of me wrapping her small legs around my waist and burying her face in my neck “ hey mama, I missed you” she whispered, I kissed her head as I replied “ hey baba, I missed you as well, how was school?” I asked her as I placed her down on the floor and taking out her bag that was hanging on her shoulders. “I made a new fweind today” she said with a big smile, I smiled as I kissed her cheeks which made her giggle. “that’s good baby, why don’t you go and freshen up while I made something for you too eat” she nodded her head as she walked out of the kitchen towards her bedroom. I turned my attention to Lynn as I saw her standing near the fridge. I folded my arms as I stood opposite the fridge watching how she just stares at me with a shocked impression. “are you going to speak or just stand there like you have seen a ghost?” I asked. She opened her mouth to speak and what she said next got me frozen on the spot. “I saw Ares today at Ophelia’s school and he kinda saw me with Ophelia.. Well actually he spoke to Ophelia…” she rushed but I couldn’t understand what she was trying to say. What did she mean by he spoke to Ophelia, he doesn’t know Ophelia. “woah woah calm down and just tell me everything, what did you mean by he spoke to Ophelia how does he know her and secondly did he see you with her because he would probably remember you from that night” I finished off and waited for Lynn to continue her story about how she was accidentally a little late to fetch Olly and Are just happened to be there to fetch his niece and nephew and he saw Olly waiting alone so he was with her until Lynn came. A part of me was grateful for Ares and the other part was scared that he would find out the truth. “why don’t you just tell him?” she asked in a soft voice, I shook my head and walked towards the stove to heat up Olly Mac and cheese “ I can’t, what would he think of me after he finds out that I’m a single mother” I said as I dished out some Mac and cheese into a bowl. “he isn’t going to think anything bad babe, I saw the way he looked at Ophelia, he really likes children and he isn’t going to think you are a horrible single mother and if he does think that then fuck him” she finished off and I chuckled as I engulfed her into a hug. “what would I do without you Lynn?” I whispered, she tightened the hug as she whispered back “ you are a wonder mum Luci, you just need me to guide you to the right path, the rest is your doing but I’m always going to be there for you no matter what..” “I love you bestie” I closed my eyes smiling and thanking God above me for sending down an angel known as Lynn Rose.CHAPTER 11ARES VASILIOSWith a blink of an eye two weeks already flew by. These past couple of weeks have being my worst nightmare, I have attended close to 15 meetings, I had to fly out to other places for meetings as well. Luciana have being a great help with booking my flight, sorting out meetings, arranging my paperwork for me to sign and she also brings me coffee every morning when she comes to the office which I'm grateful for because I dont think I would function without any caffeine in my system.I have also not being getting a proper night of sleep since the time I go home I'm already so fucking tired but Merida and Mateo is staying over with me because my brother and his wife is out of the city and they didn't want to take the kids with them because they didn't want them to miss any school so yeah they have being living with me. So when I go home from the office I spent my time playing house with Merida and her imaginary friends and help Mat
CHAPTER 12LUCIANA MILANOThe day at the office goes by quicker than I thought. Ares was busy signing documents and attending meetings whilst I was making appointments and receiving calls for Ares. Thingd have being clam between, not once we mentioned that night an I don't know whether he still remembers it but I still catch his stares when he thinks I'm too busy to even recognize it. Apart from work I know nothing about and vise versa, it's better if we just keep this professional.Ophelia had mentioned her new friends Merida and Matteo who I guess is related to aares since that's what Lynn told me that day. My heart soars for my babygirl because she's a bit like me, quiet and reserved, she finds it hard making friends and now that she have two friends who she can not stop talking about I can't help but be happy for her. I haven't seen Ares at school nor have he mentioned his niece and nephew to me, like I said he doesn't discuss his personal life with me,
CHAPTER 13LUCIANA MILANOAs soon as Ares left the office with Maddox I quickly sent a message to Lynn asking her if she wanted to Join Ophelia and I out tonight, sadly her reply came a minute later saying that she's busy tonight with a cough cough "friend". I chuckle to myself as I sent her message to be safe and enjoy her night.I logged out of my laptop, packed my bag and neatened my table as I got ready to leave the office, I stood up as I looked outside the huge window and spotted the dark clouds in the sky. The weatherman on news said that there's going to a chance of rain later on in the evening and it looks like it's going to come down really heavy. I quickly checked to see if eveything was off before making my way out of the door, I locked the door and checked twice because im just a paranoid person and make my way to the elevator.Once I walked out of the building, the sky was already darken with angry grey clouds. I quickly hitched a ride with taxi cab a
CHAPTER 14ARES VASILIOSLeaning against the wooden fancy table with a glass of expensive champagne in my hand, I watched how people danced, laughed and chattered to one another. Maddox and I have been here for the part 3 hours and nothing and I mean nothing interesting happened. This party was basically for old people which wasn't a fit for us youngsters. My date Cassie Bishop kindly ditched me for a guy old enough to be her dad and as for Maddox, it looks like he is enjoying this party or perhaps he is enjoying the expensive alcohol. I let out a breathe as I walked towards my parents that was on the opposite side of the mansion. Mother is first to see me and she walks towards me with her glowing eyes and smile on her face. He places a kiss on my cheek " you enjoying the party Ares?" she says and I nod my head as I look at my father. He is staring at me silently asking me where my date is and why she isn't attached to my side, little does he know that Cassie was t
CHAPTER 15ARES VASILIOSI stared at her as she turned around, her eyes widen when she catches me staring at her. Still in her frozen state she blinks her eyes continuous as if she's thinking she is dreaming. She opens her mouth and then closes it as she looks at the little girl and back at me. Why does she look so dumbstruck?"A-Ares" she whispers and I still continue staring at her silently. I look back at the little girl who is now playing with her buzz lighter toy and then back at Luciana who is know bitting her bottom lip hard. I swallow as I stare at her pouty lips, I want to be the one who sinks his teeth into them. I want to do that to her. "what are you doing here?" she says out loud and I bring my eyes back up to her brown ones. I shrug as I lean against the table with one hand in my pocket. " I was just coming to get some mcdeez and then I saw her here" I say nodding towards the little girl who is now staring at me." mama is this daddy? She asks and lucia
CHAPTER 16LUCIANA MILANOYou know that feeling when you feel as if you are dreaming but you really aren't, when you think you are asleep but you are wide awake thinking whether you are just dreaming or having an outer body experience. I'm rambling again and I don't think I make much sense but you get my drift. When I turned around and saw Ares standing there just staring at Ophelia and I, I knew right then and there that I can't keep this secret from him, and by the looks of his expression I know he is smart enough to know what is it. I thought when I introduced Ophelia to him as my daughter, I thought he would walk away from me or not even tell me anything but instead he pulled out a chair and ordered us food again. At first I was confused and then I realized that Ares isn't like other guys. He is different and unique. He is a person who won't judge you unless you show him otherwise. I smile as I look at the way he gets along with Ophelia and it's kind of sh
CHAPTER 17LUCIANA MILANOThe drive back to my apartment was peaceful and quick. I had a sleeping Ophelia on my lap in the passenger seat, she was moaning and groaning in her sleep twisting and turning on my lap. I ran my hand up and down her back gently to calm her, recently I have noticed that she's been having nightmares and the next morning when I ask her about them she just changes the subject.Ares looked at me for second because looking back at the road, he was quiet throughout the drive and I wonder what's going on in his head. " is she okay?" he ask as he places his left hand on the gear, I take in the silver rings on each finger " yeah she's okay, she's been having these nightmares recently but she never speak about them" I tell him and he nods his head as he looks at Ophelia " just give her some time, maybe she doesn't even know what she's dreaming about" he says and I tilt my head at him " she used to always ask about her father" I whisper and his j
CHAPTER 18ARES VASILIOSI thanked the lord above me as I walked down those hideous amount of stairs for the motivating me to continue with my cardio everymorning otherwise I would have been fucked. How the hell does Luciana manage to walk up and down these staircase? No wonder she's so petite. I come across the elevator just before the entrance and I take note of the notice board that's hanging across the doors of the elevator " under construction, please use the staircase" I scoff under my breathe as I walk towards the reception area. A man who looks to be close to his early 50s sits on the chair with both his feet up on the table crossed. As I approached him I noticed that he was asleep, which means that anyone could just walk into this place. I look around the place and noticed that there isn't any security as well, just great! Luciana is living in a building that have no security whatsoever.I clear my throat and ring the bell that woke the old man up, he looks
CHAPTER 26ARES VASILIOSI growl as I close the distance between us and slam my lips against her full plumped lips. I bite back a moan that's forming in the back of my throat as I ravish her perfect lips with mine, they are like soft as a pillow, they taste even better than I ever imagined, she tasted like chocolates, sugary and every thing sweet. I grab her face with both my hands as i deepen the kiss, she let's out a small whimper and the horny Alpha inside of me growls out " fuck baby" I whispered in the kiss as I suck on her tongue, her hands automatically make its way towards my hair and she runs her hand through it making me sigh into the kiss, before I could take it further a throat clearing interrupts us, I let her go with a soft growl as I turn to look at Celia who is nervously looking down at our table. I blow out a breathe as I smile at Celia "yes Celia" I say and she looks up at me with a slight blush on her face she hands out a black booklet which look
CHAPTER 25LUCIANA MILANOI take in Ares aftershave as he leans over me to grab the utensils. The musky manly scent oozes off him making my stomach burst with butterflies. It's a feeling I never felt before other than that night."Luciana" Ares calls out and I shake my head to clear my thoughts as I stare at him " hmmm" I hum and he tilts his head to look at me " you okay?" he asks and I nod my head. " yeah I am, I was just thinking" I tell him and he nods his head. He let's out a breathe as he leans back against the booth and stretches his arm over me. I look at up him and catch him already staring down at me, he have this expression I can't describe on his face. It's like he is reminiscing sometime. " a penny for a thought" I exchange and he chuckles as he moves a strand of hair from my face gently " you are so fucking beautiful Luciana" he whispers as he leans even more closer towards me, I gulp as I look at at him, his fingers trail on my cheeks down toward my j
CHAPTER 24ARES VASILIOS I stare at her as we made ourselves in the tiny booth far away from everyone, even thought it's just us here, it feels different. I sit opposite her as i roll up my sleeves that somehow rolled Down during the drive here. When I told her that this was my favorite place, I meant it. This place helps me escape reality, it's far from the city and far from people." I know why you love this place" she whispers as she takes in the entire restaurant. I nod my head as I lean my back against the booth "I found it a couple years ago, Maddox and I were driving out of town and then we saw this place in the middle of nowhere so we said why not have something to eat since there wasn't any other food joints in the area" I say and she leans forward resting her chin on her palms, she looks invested in my story so I continue " soo once we tasted the food here we fell in love with it, it was a place you go to escape" I finish and she smiles at me. " wow" she
CHAPTER 23LUCIANA MILANOI rest my head on the window as I stare out at the trees that we pass by. Ares have been driving for the pass 45 minutes and he hasn't said a word where we are going, whenever I asked him all he said that it's a surprise and to trust him. The weather has changed drastically and I somehow wished I used something more comfy, the dress I was using rides up showing more than I liked and the heel boots was Killing my feet.Ares seems to notice my discomfort because he turns to look at me and then his graze falls on my thighs, he looks back up at me " you good?" he ask, his voice laced with concern. I shrug my shoulder as I sit upright on the seat "I don't know, my feet are killing me and I wish you told me that this was going to be a long ride so I would have wore something more comfy" I whine out and he had the nerves to give me that million dollar smile, I pout in my seat as I turn to look back out of my window." you can take out your boots an
CHAPTER 22LUCIANA MILANOI get my breathing in check as I walk towards my white cupboard, I ran my hands through all the clothes in i have hanging in color co-ordination. I want something drop dead gorgeous but also something simply, something that would impressive him. The look he gave me before I want him to look at me the same so that's why I put on my matching black lace bra and panty, and I pull my fishnet stockings over my legs and let it sit over my stomach, I grabbed a black dress that stops at my mid thigh and I put on my black coat since it's still a it chilling outside. I paired the outfit with my thigh high black heel boots. As for make up, I kept it simple and natural, I add some concealer, blush and so mascara to my lashes and applied some of my red lipstick. I stare at my mirror admiring my outfit and makeup choice.Once I was done checking myself out, I walk out my room and into the Lounge, I heard chatter coming from there and I frown as I see Ophelia
CHAPTER 21ARES VASILIOSjust like every other night, I couldn't fall asleep. I twisted and turn, finally giving up I throw my sheets off me as I walk out to the balcony. When I stepped out the ice wind send shivers throughout my body like tiny needles piercing through my skin. I pull my hoodie over my head as I sit on the chair and put both my legs up to rest on the table infront of me. I lean my head back on the head rest as i light the cigarette that's In between my lips, I close my eyes as I listen to the sound of the raindrops falling, it's still raining but not that heavily like before, it's calm now.Before I know it, my alarm on my phone is ringing making me wake up from the slumber I so wanted to never wake up from. I squint my eyes as I adjust to the lighting outside, the sun is out a little but the dark angry clouds are still there in the sky which means that the storm isn't over. I get up from the chair was sleeping on and stretch my arms up as I let out
CHAPTER 20LUCIANA MILANOI groaned as I turn around in my bed, I grabbed my grey blanket and pulled it up to my head covering my entire self underneath the blanket. Since it was raining so heavily last night, it's a chilly morning today, I bet the clouds are grey and angry, the atmosphere just like out of a dark academia book. My apartment is in silence and I'm sure Ophelia is still asleep in her warm bed cuddled next to her Fluffy bear teddy. She loves that teddy to bits, I remember we got it when we went to England and she saw it in one of the windows of a shop and she cried and cried until I got it for her, the rest of the trip she was carrying it around and now she can't sleep without it.I pushed the covers off me as I sit up right with my back against my head board, I grab my phone from the table next to me and I smile when I see Ares name on the notification. ARES : Good morning Luciana I quickly type a reply back and wait for his response. LUCIANA :
CHAPTER 19ARES VASILIOS After I dropped Maddox off at his apartment, I went straight home. The drive back to my place wasn't far since Maddox and I live close by. Once I entered my yard I parked off my car in the uncover garage and made my way upstairs to the lounge area. I removed my suit jacket and placed it over the couch and rolled up my sleeves of the my white shirt and unbutton it. I walked towards my cupboard and grabbed my bottle bourbon that was just sitting there on display and a glass. I threw myself on the couch as I put myself some of that liquor. This evening was a crazy one, discovering that Luciana is a mother really surprised me, I mean she doesn't look like a mother and I say that in the most respectful way as possible because fuck her body is just a work of art, she have the perfect figure, the perfect curves that I want to run my hands over, she have an amazing fucking ass that she loves to show off whenever she wears her tight dresses or
CHAPTER 18ARES VASILIOSI thanked the lord above me as I walked down those hideous amount of stairs for the motivating me to continue with my cardio everymorning otherwise I would have been fucked. How the hell does Luciana manage to walk up and down these staircase? No wonder she's so petite. I come across the elevator just before the entrance and I take note of the notice board that's hanging across the doors of the elevator " under construction, please use the staircase" I scoff under my breathe as I walk towards the reception area.
