Chapter 121
“You are right, it doesn’t but I don’t know what else to say, I lack words to express how much I regret what I did to you and how much you really mean to me,”
he told her.
“You are doing good so far,”
“Really? I feel like I am not doing enough, I missed you so much, it was hell being without you, I hated it,”
He said holding her closer to him.
“I hated it too, I cried a lot because of you, I should make you suffer more,”
She let out which scared him for a moment, but she didn’t let go of him and that assured him that she didn’t intend to go through with it.
“I will make up for all the times I made you cry, Arielle, I promise,”
He told her, caressing her cheek.
“You can do that by telling me you love me, you have to say it all the time like you have been doing the past few days,”
She said to him, He nodded in agreement, it was pretty easy to say the words, and knowing that she liked it made him happy.
“Of course, my love, I won’t stop telling you how much I love you and how much being with you changed me,”
He responded. Feeling at peace for the first time in a while, his heart was full and he couldn’t ask for more, having her in his arms again was everything, she meant the world to him and he would do everything to make up for making her sad.
“What do we do about Lily? She is up to no good and she won’t stop until she gets what she wants,”
Arielle said breaking their hug, he didn’t like her being away from him so he pulled her back to him.
“Don’t worry about her, I will make sure she pays for everything, you don’t have to answer her or let her get to you, if you want, I can get your parents to you so that you won’t have to worry about them,”
He told her but she shook her head.
“I don’t think they will like to meet me, they seem happy without me and I don’t want to change that, I don’t want them to worry either,”
She informed, He understood her and made up his mind to send some of his people to guard them so that no one could harm them. They may not have been the best parents to her but it was clear that she cared about them and also he was grateful to them because they made it possible for him to meet her.
“Sure, I won’t do anything you don’t want Arielle. As for that woman, she will not be able to escape or get away with everything she did, I am working on that already, right now, I just want to focus on us, I missed you so much,”
He said and kissed her softly on the lips, she didn’t pull away, which made him happy, he missed her so much, missed kissing her like this and having her in his arms.
“I missed this so much,”
she said, pulling out of their kiss and caressing his lips.
“This is not a dream, right? We made up and you love me, right?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
He asked, hoping that it was not a dream, he would cry if he woke up and realized it was all a dream.
“It is not a dream Luciano, I love you, I tried to stay mad at you but it is hard to do so when you look so adorable,”
she said, rubbing his cheeks.
“Adorable? Now that’s a new one but I will take it, if you find me adorable, who am I to say I am not?”
he asked and she laughed. He missed her laugh too, heck he missed everything about her. Whatever made him decide to come home early today, he was thankful for it, if he had remained at the office, they might not have made up, for the first time in a while, he was truly happy. He lifted her face and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
“I love you,”
He let out before claiming her lips again in a much more intense and passionate kiss that promised to lead to more and the most beautiful part of it all was that she was there with him, kissing him back.
“I love you so much, my beautiful wife,”
He said when they pulled out of the kiss.
“I love you too but I am not your wife anymore,”
she reminded him, she looked sad saying it, and once again, he felt bad for making such poor choices when it came to what they shared.
“You are right but you know what? I might have made a mistake asking you to sign those papers, ending our marriage the way I did, but it might not have been a bad thing all and all. the thing is now, now I can court you properly and win your heart so that when I ask you to marry me, you will do so because you want to not because I asked or commanded you to,”
He divulged.
“You are just a smooth talker, you know damn well I loved the way our marriage was, it may not have been the ideal marriage for a lot of people but I never would have asked for anything else, that being said, just know it will be hard to get me to marry you again, I may love you but I am a girl who can play hard to get too,”
she told him.
“And I would willingly chase after you until you agree to marry me, I love you Arielle so much,”
he told her, lifting her face to him, she smiled, melting his heart, and he kissed her forehead.
“Good luck trying to get me to say yes,”
She said, giggling, it felt like heaven hearing her giggle like that, seeing her smile brightly at him.
“God, I love you so much Arielle, more than love, I don’t want to ever let you go,”
He let out pulling her into a tight hug, she hugged him too.
“You got me, I am not leaving you,”
“Good because I am never letting you go,”
He said and pulled her lips to his, sealing the promise with a kiss that soon led to more, he missed having her with him so much that just the touch of her mouth on his made him want her.
“I missed you so much,”
He whispered.
“Me too,” She responded and he kissed her again. He lifted her into his arms and carried her into his room and there he showed her just how much he loves her and how much he missed having her with him.
