Chapter 114
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 closed the door behind him, his men knew what to do.
“Get out of here, what are you doing here? What do you want from me now?”
She yelled at him pointing at the door.
“I am sorry Arielle, I am sorry for the way I treated you,”
He let out, she stopped yelling for a moment and glared at him as if she thinks he has lost his mind.
“Are you crazy? Did you drink?”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She asked after a while and he took a step closer to her but she raised her hand to stop him and he did.
“Arielle, I came to take you home, why did you leave?’
He asked and could feel her get angry, maybe he shouldn’t be asking any question in the first place, he knew why she left after all, he was the one that drove her away, he should have fixed things with her that night when he returned, she would have forgiven him then, now with the way she was looking at him, he feared he was too late, she hated him.
“I don’t know what you think you are Luciano but I am not going anywhere with you, I don’t have a home here, not even my old house because you destroyed it, I hate you so much,”
she let out, he felt sorry, he didn’t even remember he had ordered for the house to be taken down, he had plans of doing something on the land and gifting it to her but she would not believe him now.
“I am sorry Arielle, I know I was mean to you and don’t have the right to tell you what to do but you have to come with me,”
He pleaded.
“I am not going anywhere with you Luciano, I can take care of myself, if you think you can just come back into my life and beg to be forgiven then you must be crazy and delusional because I am never going to forgive you,”
She yelled. He deserved everything she was saying to him and deserved not to be forgiven but he couldn’t leave her here, it will only take a matter of time before that lunatic family to find her and he didn’t want them to find her or be anywhere near her so he has to find a way to convince her to come with him no matter what.
“Even if you still don’t want to forgive me, even if you hate me now, I don’t mind Arielle, I can’t let you be on your own, I can’t do that,”
He let out in a pleading voice.
“I don’t want to be near you Luciano, you don’t get to do that, you don’t get to make me feel so much pain in the last couple of weeks only for you to change your mind now, don’t worry about me, fuck out of my life,”
She yelled at him pushing him.
“I can’t do that, I can’t leave you,”
he let out feeling choked up. the things he wanted to say to her choking him, he just couldn’t get the words out.
“Why? I think it is pretty easy for you to leave, why are you pretending to care about me all of a sudden?”
“That’s because I care about you, Arielle!”
He blunted out. He hated how he made her believe he didn’t care about her when he actually did. So much.
“Liar, you don’t care about me, you told me that yourself, don’t come on here and lie to me,”
she fired at him.
“I am not lying right now Arielle, I know the things I said before, I know I made you believe I don’t care about you but I was lying then, not now, right now, I am telling you the truth, I love you Arielle, I care about you, I want you to be safe, I was stupid to assume you will be safer without me but that’s a lie, I am sorry Arielle, I lied before but not now, I just love you,”
He rambled, stumbling on his words, pouring his heart out to her, the look she gave him made him realize just how much damage his choices has done to their relationship, she didn’t believe his words, she was just gazing at him and it felt like she wasn’t even seeing him, he knew it was his fault, she told him she loved him and he had made her feel like a fool, did he really expect her to react to his love declaration? he should have kept it to himself but the words were out already and even though she reacted the way she did, he still didn’t want to take it back.
“Arielle? Please say something,”
He muttered when she refused to say anything
