Chapter 132
“I was so scared. I thought I won’t see you again.”
She let on.
“I am here now, you got me,”
“Thank you for coming for me Luciano, I am so tired I have to sleep,”
She said and went silent in his arms, just what did she go through that she was so tired? He couldn’t bring himself to think about it much, the bruises on her face already gave him an idea and he hated it. He let her lay on the bed and kissed her cheeks softly, he needed to speak with the man who had kept her safe for him. After making sure she was okay, he stepped out of the room to speak with the man who he met in his living room.
“Thank you so much for looking after my wife and for keeping her safe,”
Luciano prostrated to the old man to show just how grateful he was. He was indeed grateful, if he had not helped Arielle, who knows what would have happened. He just couldn’t bring himself to think about it and he was just grateful that it turned out this way and that he found her.
“You don’t have to prostrate to thank me, dear, I have children too and I will do anything to keep them safe. I saw her and just knew something wasn’t right, I had to do what I can and then I found out she was a Siegel, it is only right that I pay back my debt,”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
He responded. Luciano got up and still bowed in thanks.
“What debt are you talking about sir?”
He asked. He couldn’t remember this man or him owing them any money, in fact, after what happened with Don, he had forgiven everyone who owed them money and closed up the casino, of course, he would reopen once things had settled down but even then, things would be better than it had been.
“Oh, I know your grandfather, he helped me when we were still younger even though we weren’t friends or even close, I will never forget who helped me, I was sad when I heard the news of his passing.”
The man told him. Luciano felt grateful to him for helping Arielle even before he found out who she was.
“Thank you, sir,”
“You are welcome son,”
He answered.
“Where do your children live?”
He asked wanting to know if he can help any of them to help improve the living condition of the couple who saved his wife. They didn’t look like they were lacking anything though but he still wanted to do something for them and he knew the old man might not accept direct help from him.
“My oldest is married with kids and lives in the US, the other one is also married but lives in Moscow, she was here days ago, my youngest and only son recently moved out since he graduated newly, he wants some time away from home,”
He explained. Luciano nodded in understanding.
“Can I get your youngest contact?”
He requested.
“Sure, you can,” the older man said and handed him his phone.
“His name is Lawrence,”
He added. Luciano nodded and searched for his number.
“Thank you once again, sir, I will take my wife home,”
He informed him and he nodded.
“No problem, please look after her well,”
He advised and Luciano nodded. He went back to the room where Arielle still lay sleeping and carried her into his arms, he thanked the couple once again before taking her to the car with him, he made sure she was okay before he got into the car and drove home, he didn’t take her to the penthouse, it was safer at the mansion and he had men guarding the house. Once he got home, he carried her to their room and dropped her on the bed. She still looked so tired and sleepy so he gave instructions to Lydia to watch her.
After Luciano dropped Arielle off at the mansion and made sure he had enough security around to keep her safe, he drove back to the warehouse to make sure Dimitris was still there. Now it was time for Luciano to put his plan in place, Lily had done enough damage and it was time for her to pay, both her and Perz. The idiot was already paying for his own deeds anyway, the court had ordered him to forfeit all the shares he had gotten illegally, which was just a start, Luciano wanted him to be investigated for embezzlement and that was what he was pushing for next. If he succeeds, he would do what Perez had tried to do to him and buy out his company.
He walked into the place and got out his phone when he heard it ringing.
“Speaking of the devil,”
Luciano let out when he saw who was calling.
“What took you so long Lily?”
Luciano asked when he took the call.
“You gave me twenty-four hours to decide, stop acting like I took two days to respond, it has barely been six hours,”
She bemoaned. Not like he was in a hurry now that Arielle was home and safe, he just wanted to deal with the mad woman already so that he can be with his woman.
“Why are you calling me? Are you ready to do as I say now?”
He asked.
“I am, I am ready to fucking do as you said but you have to promise me that you are not going to harm my son in any way, you have to give me your word,”
She let on, he could hear the desperation in her voice, with how evil she has been and with all the things that she had done, one would expect her to not beg but here she was begging when it involves her person but she never accorded the same amount of pity to Don when she killed him after almost bankrupting his company, neither did she feel an ounce of pity for Arielle when she messed her face up, he had no obligations to her and had no intentions of giving her his words.
“I don’t think it is in your place to ask me that, but I can tell you that if you do what I want then I am going to let your loser of a son walk freely, I don’t even need to kill or hurt him, he is well on his way to killing himself,”
Luciano responded.
“Don’t talk about my son like that,”
Lily told him.
“Of course, anyway, when you are ready for the exchange do let me know, I have shits to handle right now so I am going to hang up,”
He said and hung up, he knew she would be panicking now, that’s why she called him, she was looking for his wife, good thing that she was already home with him. He would give her some time to seek into the void before telling her what he wants from her in exchange for her son’s freedom. For now, he needed to go back home and be with his wife.
