Dani opened her eyes in a strange room. She sat up immediately, looking around the room and wondering where she was. It took a moment for her to remember that she had been in the car with Luciano a while ago which meant she must have fallen asleep, she wondered how long it was that she had been sleeping for. She got out of the bed and yawned. The room got familiar but she noticed they changed a couple of things in the room and added new decorations compared to the last time she was in the room. The bed was bigger now too. Maybe that’s why she didn’t recognize the room at first. She walked to the restroom to ease herself as she felt pressed. While in the restroom. She heard a knock at the door and quickly flushed and washed her hands. She rushed to the door expecting it to be Luciano but it wasn’t. It was Lydia, his housekeeper. “Hi, Lydia, it’s been a while,”Dani greeted the older woman who smiled at her. She has always been nice to Dani when she used to be around some of the night
“You are okay,”He said and gave her a sheepish smile. He was really drunk and out of his mind. “Why were you drinking?”She questioned him even though she knew the chances of him answering were low. “No reason. I was with someone I used to know and they were having a hard time. I got drunk while trying to make them feel better,”He jabbered. She wondered who it was that he met and what they were going through to have resulted in drinking. Whoever they were must be really important for him to go out and comfort them when they were down. here she thought he didn’t have any friends. Maybe she didn’t really know as much about him as she had assumed. There was enough time to find out about him and get to know the Luciano that he barely let the world see because now she believed that there was a lot more of him that he wasn’t showing. “Let’s get you to your room you need to sleep off the alcohol,”She told him. “Alright, have you eaten, did they give you something to eat?”He asked. He
Of course, he would find someone. He just wasn’t going to bring the person to the house and she shouldn’t even be feeling jealous in the first place. She closed the screen and dumped her phone on the bed next to her. She closed her eyes and tried to forget the image of him kissing some woman but the more she tried to forget the clearer the image became in her head. She couldn’t even pretend to be okay with it because she wasn’t. “You are such a fool,”She whispered to herself. She should know what she wants and stand by it. He was a man and a single man; he was allowed to have a life. Just because she was having his baby doesn’t mean he was obligated to remain without a partner when she told him that she wasn’t going to be intimate with him. “Maybe I won’t feel like this if he didn’t act the way he had last night,”She let out. He was at fault too for having a woman outside and still treating her the way he did last night. Dani decided that she would avoid him for as long as she coul
“I am okay, Luciano. I just want some space,”She said, trying to get him off her case but he wasn’t having it. He walked closer to her even though she shook her head and pulled her to her feet. “Tell me what I did wrong, Danielle, I know you are mad at me but I need to know what I did wrong for me to be able to fix it and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”She hated how he was talking so softly and acting like he cared about her feelings. If he cared about how she felt then he would not have been out fucking another woman last night. Just thinking about it again made her burn with anger and jealousy. “Who was the woman from last night?”She blurted out before she could stop herself. He asked for it. She tried to tell him to leave her alone but he continued to request for her to tell him. She saw when he realized what she was talking about. “Oh, you saw the photos too? I should have known you would. Rumors fly pretty fast,”He said in a tone that suggested he could care less about
Luciano wasn’t in the best of moods right now. It was already past eleven pm but he couldn’t get any sleep so he made his way to his liquor corner to get some alcohol in his system hoping that it would help him sleep. He was highly troubled by what happened earlier with Danielle and how he handled her questions. “I should have just explained to her,”Luciano let out as he took a sip of his whiskey. He handled things wrongly with Danielle and now she was mad at him. He could have prevented that from happening by just telling her the truth about what had happened with Amy. She had every right to ask him those questions because he told her he wasn’t seeing anyone and then less than a week later, he was pictured kissing a woman. He regretted going to see Amy last night. He should have known she would still want to get on with him. He had been drunk. That wasn’t an excuse but if he had been sober, he would not have let her kiss him. He pushed her away almost immediately but the paparazzi
Dani woke up the next morning in a bad mood. She tried to get her act together before stepping out of her room but she couldn’t help how she was feeling and couldn’t pretend to be okay when she wasn’t. She strolled to the kitchen to grab a bottle of sparkling water. She was hungry too but was too lazy right now to make anything for herself so she decided that she would wait for the chef to make something. She turned and started walking out of the kitchen. “Danielle?”She heard her name and turned around to see Luciano seated on one of the chairs in the kitchen. she didn’t even notice he was there until he called her name. “Good morning,”She greeted him. She started walking away again. She didn’t want to be in his presence as she felt ashamed of how she had reacted the previous day to his factual answer to her question. “Good morning, do you want breakfast? I made some toast and was about to bring it to your room,”He said. she paused and turned to him again, she was too hungry to
Dani knew she had no right to have acted all jealous and now that she knew what really happened, it just made it even worse what she did. His having to clear things up to the public was obviously because she lashed out and questioned him. He wasn’t the type to just clear things up. He has had bigger scandals even one where he was accused of dating a married woman but even then. He didn’t even say anything and the next two weeks he was pictured with another woman and just like that the rumors blew over. She was sure this would have blown over too. “I need to go and apologize to him,”She concluded and dropped her phone. She walked out of her room to go find him. She checked the kitchen but he wasn’t there, she walked back upstairs and knocked on his door but there was no response. She knocked a few more times and grabbed the door nudge to see if it was locked. It wasn’t so she opened it and peeped inside but she couldn’t find him. She entered the room, his room was huge and was everyt
“What do you mean by that?”Dani asked. He sounded so sincere that it was hard not to believe him and even more that he was standing with her in her room in a muddy boot after running to her when he saw her missed call. She didn’t want to read meanings into his words but the way he spoke, talking about her being his life, made her heart flutter. “Danielle, we are going to have a family together, I can’t remember the last time I had my own family, it was decades ago. I don’t want to do anything that would ruin this family that we will build, not even a woman especially not Amy, I don’t see her like that. I have everything except a family and I got one by chance, why would I want anything to get in the way? if anything, the only woman I want right now is you but I have to respect your wish and I will be here if you change your mind about us,”Dani opened her mouth to say something but couldn’t come up with any words so she closed her mouth again and just stared at him. His words made h
