Chapter 138: Freedom and Responsibility
LUCREZIA
“What happened?” Pietro asks making me look at him through the rear view mirror.
“H-huh?” I asked out loud, clearly confused since I had been stuck deep in my thoughts and Pietro had just pulled me out. “You are quiet all day. Is there something wrong?” Pietro repeats his question, making me blink and shift at the passenger seat.I didn’t realize that it looked so obvious, I thought I was able to hide anything wrong from him well. “It was nothing,” I replied as I stare out of the car window, thinking that by doing so he would stop asking me and I would be able to escape his question.“It’s not about me, is it? Did I do anything wrong that I didn’t know of?” Pietro asks making me shake my head.I couldn’t blame him for asking such a question even though we both know that he had done nothing wrong. After all, I used to not tell him anything whenRelated chapters
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 139: Cancelled Plans
LUCREZIAThere was this feeling that crawled inside my chest as soon as I saw that Pericles has actually been waiting for us at our house.I don’t know if I was just being a pessimist or if it was just my fears talking. Life hasn’t been good to me recently, and now that Pietro and I had finally reconciled our differences, I thought everything would go smoothly after that.Maybe I was overthinking or maybe I was too ambitious that I should have known that it was too good to be true.In life, there is no such thing as happy endings. Unlike in the books, their story only ends when the character gets or loses what they wanted. However in life, the story continues and it only stops when we die.“I’ll just go talk to Pericles, okay? Wait for me inside the house, I’ll just hear whatever he has to say,” Pietro gave me an assuring smile and places a soft kiss on the back of my palm to comfort me.
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 140: Pietro's Childhood
LUCREZIAI really didn’t want to let Pietro go, but I was left with no other choice. Even though I had made him promise that he would transfer all the dangerous jobs to Pericles, we had to make exceptions since not all tasks can be transferred to Pericles just like this one.Although Pietro do not want to go on a business trip and leave me behind, he is required to attend the trip and he couldn’t transfer the job to Pericles even if he wanted to.I could see how much Pietro is disappointed about our canceled plans. Even though I am disappointed with what happened, I couldn’t bring myself to blame him for anything.Pietro pulled my hopes up for nothing. I was looking forward of having this trip with him, but it turns out that my excitement was all for nothing.In between the both of us, I know that Pietro has the more reason to feel more disappointed than me. It was he who had scheduled everything.It was his i
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 141: Childhood Friend
LUCREZIAA child’s life is supposed to be a bliss. A child is supposed to live free without any fears, happy with small simple things, sheltered from the cruelty of the world.Childhood is supposed to be the phase of your life where you are starting to explore the world, learn who you are and what you can get to be.The fact that Pietro is so different from what a child should be shows what a difficult life he had lived in such an early age.My heart clenched inside my chest as I imagined Pietro feeling alone in this world at a time when he is supposed to be just a kid who can live freely in the world.“Does he get along with the other kids?” I asked Pericles hoping that when he was bought from his father, he finally found comfort from the kids that he met who also lived a life like him.I was hoping that he had found his new family who had mended his broken heart and make up to the cruel past that he ha
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 142: Lovesick
LUCREZIA“Should I bring you to the hospital?” Pericles asked me worriedly as he held all my hair in one hand and rubbed my back with the other to help me vomit all the contents of my stomach to the toilet.Pericles is such a great help. I don’t know what would happen to me if he wasn’t here. Why do I have to fall sick at the most inconvenient time while Pietro is miles away from where I was?I gripped the rim of the toilet so tightly as wave of nausea washes over me while feeling lightheaded and dizzy at the same time.I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I just woke up feeling like this. It’s not like I’m tiring myself or made contact with anyone who was sick.I was only stuck all day inside the house with Pericles to keep me company and he has been taking a good care of me. I don’t see why I’m getting sic all of a suddenPericles continued rubbing my back to help me a
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 143: Locked Room
LUCREZIAI was about to knock on the door upon finding it was locked, when Pericles suddenly opened it, catching me by surprise.Pericles’s eyes widened, not expecting to see me standing in front of Pietro’s office. I brought down my hand that I am supposed to use to knock on the door since Pericles had already opened the door.“What are you doing here?” Pericles asked me.Instead of answering his question, I tried to take a peek inside the room, but he was too good, he pulled the door close behind him, blocking my view with his body as he carefully closes the door behind him.“Didn’t I tell you to rest in your room?” Pericles raises an eyebrow at me when I should be the one doing that.He saw how I was trying to take a look inside, but he purposefully blocked my view that I did not even saw a thing. Now, he is acting like he did nothing wrong.I crossed my arms in front of m
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 144: The Key
LUCREZIA“Who was it?” I teared my eyes away from the key when Pericles had finally fished out his phone from his pockets right before he notices me staring at his key.“J-just one of the guys,” Pericles answered me as he raised his eyes at me after reading the caller ID.The way he sounded when gave me his answer gave away that he was lying. Whoever was calling him, it surely wasn’t one of the guys.Pericles stands up, his phone still ringing on his hand. “I’m just going to answer this call,” he muttered before excusing himself leaving me alone at the dining room with the set of keys I think he didn’t realized that he had left with me.As soon as Pericles was gone, I grabbed the keys on the table and stared at the single key that can lock and unlock the door to the room that I am most curious at.I rubbed my thumb across the key as I thought about the lock room.&ldquo
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 145: The Party
LUCREZIA The party was at full swing. Everyone had happy smiles on their faces and only Lucrezia was not. Like a glum spectator, Lucrezia sat at the farthest corner of the venue, with her elbows on the table and her chin placed on her palms, watching as the party gone by. “Pietro is still not here?” Lucrezia asked Pericles boredly who has been sitting silently beside her, allowing her to wallow in peace. Pericles sighs. He couldn’t count how many times Lucrezia had asked the same question already. If Pietro is here, she knows that he would directly go towards her. Why is she asking her such question? Isn’t the answer obvious.“I’m sure he would be here any minute now,” Pericles answers her instead after glancing at his watch. It’s already late and the party has already started thirty minutes ago, yet Pietro is still nowhere to be found.Lucrezia was so excited to see Pietro that she came early at the party. In fact, they were one of the visitors who arrived first at the party. L
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 146: Can I have this Dance?
LUCREZIAI couldn’t hide the smile on my face as Pietro held me gently, his hand softly placed behind my back as if I were a fragile doll as he guided me through the dance floor. I had been invited to many different parties and been to night parties, each offering different types of dances to liven up the party. However, I had never danced with any man before. It isn’t because I’m saving my first dance for Pietro – partly, yes, but it’s also because I found the whole thing to be so intimate. Imagine dancing with a man as he held you closely like this, a mere breath away from each other. It isn’t something that I’d find myself doing. I don’t know why people like it and engage in doing it even with complete strangers as partners. To me, wouldn’t that feel utterly uncomfortable and awkward?I always wondered what they liked about it, the intimate touching with your faces just inches away from each other, not until I experienced it myself as I danced with Pietro.
