Chapter 28
“So, now, do you agree it was wise to eat when I said you should? You are glad you did right?”
Luciano asked once she dropped her spoon, she ignored him and turned to the chef who was next to her.
“Thank you for the food, both last night and this morning, I hope this monster pays you as much as you deserve for making such tasty meals, you deserve to work for someone better,”
She said and the color seem to drain from the chef’s face, he nodded anyway, as she turned in the direction of Luciano, whose handsome face was set in a firm line, clearly, what she said had pissed him off, well, he had it coming.
“Leave us,”
He said in a commanding voice to the others in the room and before long, they were both alone in the dining room, and suddenly she realized she must have gone a little too far, but the damage was already done and she had no plans to take what she said back, not like he could do anything to her, he wouldn’t, at least not for now.
Arielle looked everywhere but in Luciano’s direction, she already knew what she would find if she looked at him and she wasn’t about to let him think she is scared of him even though that might be the case since her heart was racing so fast with every silent second that passes.
“I don’t know what you think You are but I will not let you disrespect me in my own house, I didn’t bring you here to start talking trash,”
He said in an intimidating voice.
“I never said anything that wasn’t true, if it hurts you, then maybe you should consider being less of a monster and be more human,”
She responded even though she knew she should keep quiet and not annoy him more, she just couldn’t stop herself from responding.
“Who said I am hurt by your words? People have called me the worst, it is nothing new to me, in case you don’t know, I am a Siegel, being born into the Siegel family already made me a villain and I have no reason to feel hurt when someone addresses me by my identity, but what I won’t take from you bitch is trying to be nice to my worker and give them backhand compliments that might lead to them losing their job here.
The last part of what he said got her sitting up in her seat, the last thing she wanted was for innocent people to lose their jobs because of her.
“Why would complimenting them make them lose their jobs? Why are you so evil?”
She asked, disgusted by him all over again, it was impossible to even look at him as a normal person.
“You shouldn’t be worried about other people, don’t you think? considering they are better than you right now, if they get fired they can always start over somewhere else but if I am done with you bitch? There is no freedom for you still, if I decide today that I am done taking your shits, you will end up in one of my casinos tonight, working and making money for me, don’t make me do it because it would,”
He threatened.
“You can do that, please do it, at least I won’t be forced to be in your presence, I am ready to work to pay off whatever debt you think I owe you, if you have a job for me, I would gladly do it, just let me go,”
She said and he burst out laughing, she just stared at him wondering what he thought was funny about what she said.
“What’s funny?”
“You are funny dorogoy, do you even know what kind of job you would be doing in a casino?”
He asked and she glared at him.
“I don’t have to stay here and listen to you go off about absolutely nothing and laugh like a lunatic when nothing I said was funny,”
She said getting up and walking out of the dining room, at first, she walked towards the stairs thinking he was following behind her but when she turned and he wasn’t, she suddenly walked the other way that lead to the outside of the mansion, she looked around but no one was in sight, unlike the night before, she could easily make her way out and she increased her pace as her heartbeat increased, she silently prayed that no one would see her as she walked towards the huge gate, it was like taking a long walk, no matter how fast she moved, the gate was just too far away, it took her a couple of minutes to get close to it, still, no one was in sight, hoping that it would remain like that, she continued walking as fast as she could go, not even looking back.
“Where the fuck do you think you are going to?”
She heard Luciano’s men yell, she knew it had to be one of them, she was almost at the gate, she broke into a run without looking back, when she got to the gate, she was surprised to see it open, and there was no one there, she fled without thinking twice.
“You are crazy, stop running,”
The man running after her yelled. she looked back for a second to see a couple of men running after her, with the owner of the voice leading, she turned and increased her pace, there was no need listening to anyone of them, she just needed to get the hell away.
“I told you to stop!”
He yelled again, this time his voice was closer, she knew he would catch up with her very soon but she couldn’t stop, she was out of breath, there was no one on the estate lane neither was there any vehicles moving around, no one to save her.
“I just wanna go home,”
She cried as the man caught up with her, he didn’t even say anything to her and started dragging her back to the house.
“Leave me alone, I want to go home, I don’t want to be here, I don’t belong here,”
She cried hitting him, it was like hitting a rock, he didn’t even say a word, just continued dragging her until they were back in the house with her kicking and hitting him, even the other men that ran after her too didn’t say anything, he dragged her into the living room where the devil she had tried to escape from was.
“You can leave now, and whoever is supposed to be at the gate should better not spend another thirty minutes in my house,”
He said and Arielle felt like hell, because of her, someone was about to lose their job.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“He didn’t do anything, why would you fire him?”
She cried out, breathing heavily.
“You should have thought of that before you tried to leave, plus, shouldn’t you be more worried for yourself? You are at your worst bitch!”
He responded.
“Nothing like this would happen if you just let me go, no one would lose their job and you won’t have to put up with me, just let me go,”
She yelled.
“You can’t leave, I own you, everything about you,”
He said and he swept her up and carried her all the way to the room she had used the previous night, ignoring her screams to be let go, she kicked and even bite him but he still didn’t let go and nobody in the house that they passed even said a word, how could they? When they had a family to take care of when they had no power where the one who was her biggest nightmare and theirs too stood, it was a cruel world that she hated.
“Here you go princess, you finally got your wish,”
He said as he dumped her on the bed, she sprinted up immediately.
“This is not my wish you evil man, I want to leave, I don’t want to be in this house, don’t you understand?”
She asked pushing him hard, she didn’t expect him to move but he did and he pulled her along with him, they both fell on the bed together, with her on top of him, she tried to get up but he held her still.
“Let me go,”
She groaned but he just kept quiet staring at her.
“Let me go!”
She let out again, but he didn’t, instead, he turned and he was partially on top of her, and their eyes met and held, she looked away trying to free herself but he didn’t let her.
“Stay still,”
He commanded.
“No,”
She responded still trying to pull away.
“You have the most beautiful lips I have ever seen,”
He said suddenly touching her lips, she felt shivers down her spine as her throat went dry, why was he doing this to her, why was her body reacting to the slightest words from him, she shouldn’t be responding to him.
“Let me go, don’t touch me,”
She yelled pushing him away, she got off the bed and he did too, she moved away from him, trying to clear her head, reminding herself that she hated him and that he was holding her captive.
“Why? You don’t want me touching you? Huh? I own Ariel,”
He said and walked towards where she was, she moved back until her back touched the door, and she felt trapped as his huge body surrounded her, he lifted his hand and touched her face, his finger traced a part down her face to her neck, she felt shivers everywhere his finger touched and hated herself for it.
“What would you do if I kissed you right now? You would let me right? You can’t say no, why? I own you,”
He said and she swallowed, her whole body heating up.
