Chapter 131
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 echoed over the phone. Luciano paused for a moment, who could she be, it can’t be Arielle because she was with that lunatic that he spoke to about two hours ago, who else did he know or could it be?
“Who is she please and where are you?”
He asked, turning around and walking back to his car, praying and hoping the person they were referring to was Arielle, it has to be her.
“Your wife, I think, she told me she wants to call her hus__”
“Where are you? Please, where is your current location?”
Luciano yelled out interrupting the man. He broke into a run as the man gave a description of where they were at.
“Thank you so much, sir, please don’t let her leave until I get there,”
He pleaded and ended the call, typed the direction the man had given into his GPS, and started his car. Just in case shits go down, he called the leader of his men.
“Get ten men ready and put them in a vehicle heading in the direction I sent to you, do it fast, I need to make sure nothing goes wrong,”
He instructed and ended the call after making sure he heard him clearly. He sent him the address the old man had given after which he dumped his phone to focus on driving.
“Hang in there for me baby, I am coming to get you,”
He let out and suddenly got a thought, he reached out for his phone and dialed his men again.
“On second thought, there is no need for you guys to come, send the men to the warehouse instead to make sure that bastard doesn’t get away,”
He instructed and hung up for the second time, his heart patting in fear, he knew he would not be at peace with himself until he finds her, hopefully, he gets to her before Lily and her men does, he finally got the plan to make her pay for all that she did but first of all, he had to get his woman, the reason he asked his men to stay away was because he didn’t want to draw attention to the place, he didn’t want Lily finding out just yet that Arielle was with him, he had to get to her first.
“Please wait for me my love, I am coming to get you,”
He let out. He could hear his heart throbbing in fear and tried to calm down and focus on driving, but it was easier said than done, at a point he just gave up on trying to calm himself down and instead continued driving as fast as his car could go and the traffic allowed, he occasionally checked his GPS to make sure he was going the right way. After driving for nearly an hour with his heart almost jumping out of his chest, his GPS signaled that he finally arrived at the location, he picked up his phone and dialed the number that had called him, the man picked up on the first ring and Luciano looked up to see him waving at a short distance, he quickly got out of his car and practically ran to the older man who would be in his sixties or probably seventies, beside him was a woman around the same age whom he assumed was the one that picked his call.
“Good day sir, ma’am, please where is my wife?”
He panted, almost out of breath due to how fast his heart was beating.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Relax son, she is in there sleeping, she is in there,”
The older man said pointing at the closed gate, if only he knew just what the brave woman that lay sleeping inside his house has been through. That she was able to escape Lily shows just how brave his woman was and he was thankful for that.
“Can I see her please,”
He said politely and the older man nodded and led him to the house with his wife asking who it was, Luciano’s guess was the woman had mental issues and her husband was taking care of her. He felt his heart explode in pain when the old man opened the door and he saw her laying on the bed, he clenched his hand into a fist, willing himself not to cry, he became somewhat of a crybaby recently.
“We will let you two be, take your time,”
The older man said and led his wife out of the room. Luciano walked slowly towards the woman who was sleeping on the bed. There were bruises on her face and she looked troubled in her sleep.
“Baby,”
He whispered as he lay beside her and pulled her to him, she cried out in her sleep and pushed him away.
“Hey, Arielle, it is me, Luciano.”
He said trying to calm her down, she finally opened her eyes and they widened in realization.
“You came, I thought you were not going to show up but you did, I have been calling you,”
She cried.
“I am sorry that I took so long, baby, I am here now.”
He whispered and hugged her close.
