Chapter 33
The car came to a stop in front of what looked like a construction site, Arielle got out of the car after Luciano did and looked around wondering what they were doing there, she didn’t have time to ask as he started walking inside and she had no choice but to follow him.
Sir,”
A tall huge man said in welcome.
“Where is he?”
Luciano asked and Arielle wondered who he was talking about.
“Inside, he is refusing to cooperate,”
The tall man said and they all walked together into the place that looked like a huge warehouse, she finally understood why she thought it was a construction site, it looked like it from the outside and it was because the place was mainly used to store building materials, at least that’s what it indicated, what caught her attention was the man tied against a pole, he looked so hopeless, she turned, eyes widened towards Luciano wondering what the man did to be tied up and why he felt the need to bring her here to see him like this, was this it? The punishment he talked about? Would she be beaten too, just when she thought he could be a good person after all he decided to do this?
“So? You thought you could steal from me and get away with it?”
Luciano said as he walked towards the man, he picked up a rod that was laying on the ground and hit the man hard.
“No!”
Arielle yelled before she could stop herself, she closed her ears in fear, it was horrible to watch, Luciano just turned to look at her for a moment and went back to beating the poor man up while cursing at him in Russian, there was nothing she could do but cry as the poor man begged to be let go but the heartless Luciano didn’t even listen.
“Make it stop, please,”
She cried silently as she covered her ears tight but there was no stopping the painful cry of the poor man from finding its way to her ear, she turned to try and leave but was met with two men holding her in place.
“Let me go,”
But they didn’t listen just hold her still and made her watch their boss beat the hell out of a helpless man, it was beyond hell to watch, the crying and pleading to be let go broke her heart, Luciano wasn’t human, there was no way he would be human and he would be so heartless, she hated him so much.
She knelt down and closed her eyes, trying a trick she use to use when her parents fought when she was younger, it finally worked, she was able to completely drown out the cries of pain, she didn’t know for how long she stayed that way.
“We should go,”
She heard him say after a while, she stood up immediately looking at him, how could he say that to her? How could he be so calm right now after what he just did? She looked ahead of him and saw the helpless man bent over but still tied to the pole.
“I, you,”
She stammered not knowing what to say to him, he grabbed her by the hand before she could gather her thoughts and dragged her along with him back to the car.
“Let me go,”
She yelled and backed away from him.
“You lost it didn’t you?”
“Fuck you! You devil, I hate you so much and wish you would just die,”
She yelled at him, he started laughing, she wanted to hit him so hard, he didn’t even look like he just almost killed someone.
“Well, that’s not new, I have had people wanting me to die since forever, you are not the first and you won’t be the last, but one thing is that I am not going to die,”
He said as he pushed her into the car, she put as much distance as she could between them.
They were on their way in seconds, she couldn’t wait to get to the mansion and get the hell out of his presence, but when the car came to a stop again, it wasn’t at the mansion, she looked up at the huge Siegel hotel which Luciano had built with his own money, she knew because it was all over the news three years ago when it had launched.
“Let’s go,”
He said and pulled her out of the car with him, she wordlessly followed him wondering why they didn’t go back to the mansion, it was already getting dark, maybe he had more business to attend to here but he could have just sent her to the mansion, they got into the elevator and he pressed the last button which would take them to the top of the building, she knew she should be scared but she just felt tired, what more could he do? When the elevator came to a stop, he walked out by himself and she had no choice but to follow him, he unlocked a door that lead to what looked like a penthouse, not look like, it was a home on top of the hotel. Maybe he lives here too.
“What are we doing here?”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
She asked looking around the penthouse that screamed rich and expensive.
“To get dressed, go take a bath, we are leaving in thirty minutes,”
He instructed pointing at the restroom, she wordlessly got up and walked to the bathroom, she made sure to shut the door before taking off her clothes, she did her best not to think about what had happened earlier, her whole life was a mess before she met Luciano, now she just wanted that life back, it was way better than this, at least she had her freedom then, now she was just a pushover doing everything an evil man wants and going to places she would never have thought she would go.
When she got out of the bathroom with the bathrobe around her body, he wasn’t in the room but she found clothes on the bed.
“Short gown again? I wish he would just die,”
She lamented bitterly as she examined the gown he had left for her, this one was worse than the first one, she looked around trying to find another but she couldn’t find any, she let out a wary sight and got into the dress, she took care of her face and just sat there waiting for him.
“Let’s go,”
He said when he walked into the room a few minutes later, he too had changed his clothes and was now wearing a pair of cream shirt and black trousers, she couldn’t even look at his face, no his face deceived, handsome but beyond that handsome face was a man full of deceits and evil.
Arielle sat quietly in the car hoping that they were finally going back to the mansion even though she knew that wasn’t the case, why would he make a stop at the hotel just to get them both dressed and then drive back to the mansion? It made no sense, it didn’t take long for her earlier thoughts to be proven true.
“Where is this?”
She asked in bewilderment when they came to a stop, from all indications, it was a club but why was she here? The thoughts that he was going to give her out to men came rushing to her and she felt sick. Did he really think that because she let him kiss and touch her meant she let anyone do it to her too? How could he?
“You are here to be punished, sweetness,”
He said with a devilish smile, let’s go,”
He commanded and without waiting for her to respond, he got out of the car and pulled her out with him
“I thought I already got punished, I stood there while you beat up a man who begged to be let go, you should be in prison, you are a devil, you could be a murderer,”
She let out.
“I am a murderer,”
He responded as if it was the most natural thing to say, she believed him because there was no way the man hadn’t killed a person before, not with joe evil and ruthless he was, she hated him even more and hoped that karma finds him soon.
“Why am I here? I really don’t like it here, I already got to witness you being brutal to another man, that’s punishment enough don’t you think.”
She let out.
“That was nothing compared to what is to come, you are gonna love this one, or maybe not,”
He answered.
“What do you mean?”
She asked, suddenly scared of what might happen here. She was wearing an extremely short dress and he brought her to a club. She hoped he wasn’t here to give her to men, she would kill herself in his presence.
