Chapter 40
“You missed me didn’t you?”
Luciano asked walking up to her, he looked so handsome in his well-tailored suit, he cut his hair but that did nothing to reduce his hotness, instead, it kind of enhanced his good looks, if the man wasn’t such an asshole and a devil, he would have been her idea type, okay, that was a lie, she was attracted to him in every possible way.
“I didn’t, I prayed every day that you never come back,”
She responded shaking off the thoughts that were gathering in her head, yes, he was handsome but she was done being attracted to him, if he ever kisses her again, she would make sure to slap him across the face, never again would she allow him to kiss her.
“Liar!”
The annoying voice in her head whispered.
“Well, too bad, I am back and now, you have to deal with me again, I missed you,”
He said and before she could think or even act, he pulled her and slammed his lips on hers, she struggled to get off the kiss but the pressure of his mouth held hers in place. All her resolve to push him away when he kiss her flying to the winds and like always, she found herself melting into the kiss of her worst nightmare, it was hard to pretend not to like his kiss when the feel of his mouth against hers felt like heaven and it was even harder not to kiss him back, she kissed him back all the while blaming it on her lack of prior contact to another man.
“You did miss me,”
He said as he broke the kiss, he didn’t let her go completely and for some reason, she couldn’t push him away, she just stared at him while he smiled watching her.
“Where have you been?”
She asked looking away from him, because what else could she do? it was obvious that her sense of reasoning tends to leave her when he touches her and it was hopeless trying to fight it, plus it was just a kiss, not like she would sleep with him.
“You might,”
The annoying voice in her head said but Arielle shut it down
“I had business outside the country, and it took longer than I expected, next time, I will bring you with me so that you won’t miss me so much,”
He said and all she could think about was he planned on keeping her with him, the only thing is she didn’t know for what reason.
“Why would you think of doing that? What makes you think I will go with you?”
She asked shaking off his hold on her, he let her go and laughed.
“You are mine remember? I get to take you anywhere I want,”
He responded as if it was the most natural thing to say.
“I am not yours Luciano, it is about time to drop this and either let me go or tell me why I am even here in the first place,”
She said in a tired voice, she was fine until he showed up now she didn’t even know anymore, she just wanted this to be over already, she couldn’t and shouldn’t get used to being with him, of living a luxurious life and of not doing anything, she has never been one to freeload off someone else and she wasn’t about to start now, plus her attraction to him was making her seem like a fool, never once has she lost the plot so bad, kissing her enemy and enjoying it was not something she thought would ever happen to her.
“You are mine, Arielle, that’s certain, and for what and why you are here? you will find out soon, I am too tired to answer your question right now but I promise that you will know as soon as I am able to get a rest,”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Luciano said as he held out his hand to her, she stared at it as if it had bacteria in it, but she ignored him hand and choose to walk back towards the main house, the sooner she lets him take a rest the faster she would get answers to all the questions she has and the sooner everything can be settled even though she doubts that whatever he has in store for her would be nice or benefit her in any way.
“Arielle,”
He called out her name with so much authority that she found herself turning around faster than she could say her name, he looked annoyed as the night light danced around his face and she couldn’t help the fear that flashed through her, he looked so different from the man he was a minute ago.
“What?”
she asked in a voice that sounded frightened even to herself.
“You don’t walk away while I am still talking, you don’t walk out on me, nobody does,”
He let out, she tightened her hands into a fist, the fear she felt earlier burning and turning into anger and a little touch of self-hate.
“I don’t care about your rules, I am not obligated to follow them, and you certainly don’t have the right to tell me how or when I decide I have heard enough of a conversation, plus, you already said you will tell me what I wanna know after you have rested, so why should I keep standing?”
She asked and she could feel his anger rise, well that makes two of them because he was acting like a sicko, they went into a staring contest, okay more like he was staring her down, she couldn’t look straight into his eyes, and she has never been one to look directly at someone in the eye, she always prefers to look slightly above the eye level.
