“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
“Danielle? Are you ready?”Dani heard Luciano call out her name, she turned from the mirror to see him walk into her room looking handsome as always. They have been living together for a week now and he kept his promise. He brought all his work home and stayed with her all day, even though he had a chef, he still made sure to cook her favorite meal for her. He listened to her talk and for the past week, they have been living in peace. Luciano was more gentlemanly than Dani ever thought. He was the best man for the role of a dad and she knew their kids would never lack attention from him because he was attentive and eager to learn. He couldn’t go with her last week to the new parents’ class because a client called him at the last minute and she told him to go but today, he made time and said nothing would stop him. “I am almost ready. You are so eager,”Dani commented. They were more like friends now and she could talk freely with him. He sat on her bed and picked up the book that she
When they arrived back home, he got a call from a client and had to go attend to it so Dani spent the rest of the day on her own. She didn’t mind. He gave up a lot to be with her every day. He was someone who liked to do his work himself but for her sake, he delegated a lot of his work to his directors. She worked with him before so she knew just how much it meant for him to do that. Feeling bored, she decided to call Keira on a video call. “You have been scarce lately, you don’t even call me anymore,”Keira complained. Dani rolled her eyes at what her dramatic friend said. She called her two days ago and was the one to call her just now too. “I can say the same for you. You haven’t called me in a while, I have been the one calling you,”Dani told her. “Well, you can’t blame me. You told me your Luci was with you every day now and I didn’t want to call at the wrong time. “Wrong time? What do you mean by wrong time?”She saw the look on her face and knew what she was on about. if o
Luci?”She called out rushing to his bedside, he was fighting something invisible and he was sweating even though the air-conditioning was on. Not only that, he was also talking to himself. More like fighting himself in his sleep. He was having a nightmare. “Luciano, Luci,”She called out trying to wake him up but he pushed her hand away and kept crying out words that she couldn’t make out. She stood there not knowing what to do or how to wake him up. it was clear that the dream was a terrible one for him to be acting this way. she couldn’t leave him like that. She sat on the bed again and pushed against his chest to get him to wake up. “Luci, wake up, please, Luci,”She called out his name but he didn’t wake up. she got even more scared. It was obvious that it wasn’t a normal nightmare if it was, he would have woken up as soon as she walked into his room. “No, No, please, Stop, Danielle, don’t move,”He cried. He was dreaming about her and it wasn’t a good dream. Okay, that’s it.
