Chapter 119
“What do you want?”
she asked glaring at him when she opened the door.
“I got you breakfast,”
he said, showing her the train of food he had with him, she looked from his face to the food and back to his face.
“I don’t want anything from you, I can feed myself if I need to eat, just don’t talk to me, Luciano,”
she let out and closed the door in his face, she saw the hurt in his face before the door shut but she didn’t mind, he did more to her, rejecting his food was nothing compared to what he did to her.
And that’s how they lived for the next couple of days. He didn’t stop trying to talk to her neither did he stop telling her he loves her even though all she did was walk away and avoid him. Before he left the penthouse to work every morning, he would knock on her door, maybe he was making sure she was still in there and to keep his mind at peace, she would tell him to go away and before he does, he would tell her he loves her, she never responded and he seems not to mind because he didn’t stop.
For the past three days, her phone has been on but Lily has not called her or sent her photos of her parents which made Arielle think and hope she gave up trying to make her do things for her. A lot has happened in the three days, Luciano had filed a case against the Perez who Arielle had found out to be one of the people Don was working with before he died, the same person Luciano had warned him about, no wonder the name had sounded familiar, she also found out they had a son together, even though those two had tried to talk in whispers so she won’t hear them that night at the office, she had heard everything they said, up until when she had fallen asleep.
After spending the last couple of days with Luciano and him repeatedly telling her he loves her, she kind of got used to it and wasn’t so angry at him anymore but still, she refused to give in. Her phone started ringing and she checked it and rolled her eyes.
“so much for her giving up,”
She said to herself. She knew taking the call would only make her angry but she still took it.
“Lily? Don’t you get tired of this?”
She asked and heard the older woman hissed.
“You said you don’t care about him anymore but you went back to him? Did you think that I will not find out that you did?”
She questioned.
“That’s none of your business Lily,”
“Yes, you are right, in fact, now that you are back to him, we can finally talk business, you know what to do, you don’t have a lot of time,”
Lily said and Arielle felt her temper rising.
“No, I don’t know what to do Lily and I am not doing anything for you,”
She let out fiercely. She had nothing to be scared of, she would not be able to get to her, not with Luciano around.
“I know you think you are safe with him but let me remind you that your parents are not,”
Lily said.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“I told you already, I don’t care about them,”
She let out.
“Right, let’s see if you will say the same for Luciano, or are you going to lie about not loving him? You can’t lie, you went back to him because you love him,”
“Yes, I am not going to lie just because I am scared of you, or so you think, I love him and I came back to him because I love him but you are not going to use my love for him against me, I don’t give a fuck about you Lily, I told you before,”
Arielle let out.
“You don’t know what your stubbornness will cause the people around you, I am warning you not to play with me, don’t test me,”
Lily let out and Arielle rolled her eyes.
“Do your worse Lily, I am not holding you, don’t fucking call me anymore,”
She yelled and dropped the call, dumping her phone on the chair, maybe it was time to tell Luciano that Lily was threatening her, she didn’t want to tell him before because he had a lot going on right now already and she had thought Lily gave up already.
“I don’t want his help,”
She told herself as she got out of the chair and walked to the room that she has been using for days now, she suddenly felt hot and needed to take a bath. She stayed in the bathroom for about twenty minutes before she decided to leave and dress up, she was buttoning the last button of the shirt she was wearing when she heard Luciano call out her name, she didn’t want to talk to him but she knew if she doesn’t go out to meet him, he would come into her room and she didn’t want him in his personal space right now, he was starting to get to her and she didn’t want to give in just yet, she wanted to make him suffer more.
“What do you want now Luciano?”
she asked when she walked out of her room.
“Do you mind explaining this?”
he asked, lifting a phone. It took her a moment to realize it was her phone which she had thrown on the chair after Lily’s call. She forgot to take it with him and he must have read the text Lily sent to her. Well, guess it was time for him to know.
