Chapter 133
Arielle woke up with a startle, at first, she expected to feel the pain of being tied but there was none and when she opened her eyes, she looked around her surrounding for a moment, lost in confusion and trembling with fear, she dreamt of Luciano finding her and bringing her home, she looked around even more and realized she was no longer chained and the room she was in looked clean and she was on a bed. Realization and the memories of the previous day finally crawled into her head. She got off the bed in a haste to make sure she hadn’t dreamt it or imagined it, she opened the door and collided with a hard chest, her heart dropped in fear until she looked up and saw Luciano.
“Baby? Where are you going? I didn’t know you were awake already,”
He said. She hugged him and held on to him tightly.
“I thought it was a dream, I thought I was still there, I was scared,”
She cried into his arms which he wrapped around her.
“It is not a dream, you are here with me, you, brave woman got yourself out of there and came back to me,”
He whispered to her as he walked with her still in his arms back to the room, he sat her on the bed and squatted in front of her, wiping away the tears from her eyes.
“You are safe now Arielle, they can’t harm you no more,”
Luciano told her and she nodded, still not able to overcome the fear that had gripped her. She remembered everything that happened and how Lily had walked out of the place forgetting to lock the door, she was only able to leave because she had not been tied when she stormed out of the room, if not, it would have been a different story, she remembered the old couple that helped her and finally remembered Luciano came to meet her there but she couldn’t recur them leaving, she didn’t get the chance to thank them but she knew Luciano would have done it on her behalf, still she promised herself that she will go on her own once everything is settled to thank them for what they did for her.
“Are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?”
He asked but she shook her head.
“I already ate, the good grandfather gave me food to eat,”
She informed him.
“Oh, I should have guessed that he would, he is a good person,”
Luciano said, stroking her hair, she relaxed into him, enjoying his sweet and familiar smell that she missed so much.
“What happened, baby? Why did you leave on your own?”
Arielle knew it was time to tell him about the baby, she needed to go to the hospital anyway and she didn’t want to go alone.
“I went to get kits,”
She told him and saw he looked confused.
“Pregnancy kits, I found out three days earlier that I was preg___”
“You are pregnant? Are we going to be parents?”
He interrupted her. He looked and sounded so excited, not the response she had imagined he would have since they never planned on having a baby yet, they never talked about it either.
“Yes,”
She answered.
“OH, my god! That’s great news,”
HE exclaimed in excitement.
“Why didn’t you tell me when you found out? I would have taken you to the hospital instead of using regular kits,”
He asked.
“I am sorry, I should have told you but I didn’t know what your response would be since we never discussed a baby, plus you had a lot going on and didn’t want to add sudden baby news to the mix,”
Arielle told him. Thinking about it now, she made a mistake in assuming he would not like the news. She should have just told him that first day.
“Don’t apologize, baby, you did what you felt was right but next time, know that I am always ready okay? No matter what is going on, you have to tell me, promise?”
He asked, bringing out his pinky finger.
“Promise,”
She replied and crossed hers through his.
“Tomorrow, we will go to the hospital to get you treated and do the test for confirmation okay?”
He asked. She nodded but she didn’t know if she could go out without panicking, she didn’t want to be exposed to the outside world right now.
“Don’t worry baby, I am coming with you and will be with you through it all,”
HE stated like he had sensed her fears.
“Thank you,”
She told him and hugged him.
“What about Lily? She is up to no good and she won’t stop, before she stormed out and left the door open which help me escape, she was furious and kept cursing at you,”
Arielle revealed. She wanted to know what Luciano had told her that made her so angry.
“She is playing a dirty game and I told her I was the master of the game which is why she got angry, don’t worry about her anymore and just focus on healing okay? You shouldn’t let those things disturb you, I am going to take it out with her, she went too far this time.”
Luciano let out. He looked and sounded so angry. Whatever he decides to do to her, Arielle planned on supporting him because Lily was a heartless bitch who deserves only bad things, she told him everything Lily had told her, everything including the reason he had killed Don and how she was the brain behind everything and even more, she was the one that made they fall into lose. Luciano didn’t look surprised and she wondered if he already knew but when she asked him, he told her he had no idea but with what Lily had done, he couldn’t put anything past her which was true in every way.
“She will get her karma soon, don’t fret about it,”
He told her after they were done talking about it. He didn’t leave her and spent the rest of the day with her and she fell asleep in his arms that night. It was the best feeling in the world and she sent a thank you to the universe for bringing her back to him safely.
The next morning, they woke up early to get ready for the hospital, it didn’t take long for them to arrive at the hospital, she wore a mask to cover her face and they used the private entrance into the hospital, they met with the doctor who ordered for the test to be done and it didn’t take up to twenty minutes for it to be out and yes, she was pregnant. She went to get a scan done after that and they told them she was a month and two weeks in. They scheduled another time for a different scan and Luciano took her back home to the mansion.
“I have to go get some things done and I will be back before you know it, if you need anything, please just call me,”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
He instructed when they got back to the house.
“Sure, don’t worry about me, I will be fine and waiting prettily for you,”
She responded cutely and he smiled and kissed her before leaving. She knew whatever he wanted to go do involve Lily and prayed for him to succeed so that they will put this phase behind them and focus on healing and growing their new family, she saw the joy and excitement in his eyes when he saw their baby through the scan machine and she wanted him to keep smiling like that and having that expression of pure joy and happiness. She felt proud knowing she was the reason he felt that way.
