Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

Don’s funeral was held three days later, it was a private event, and only family members and close acquittances were allowed in the venue, even at that, trust the media to still carry it, Arielle had expected Lily to show up but she didn’t, maybe Luciano had prevented her from gaining entrance into the venue, since she gave her phone to Luciano, she hasn’t heard from her and she wanted to keep it that way, she wasn’t bored without her phone and it was even better that way.

Luciano was doing better now two days after Don was buried, he wasn’t there yet but he was getting there and she was glad he let her in and let her be his support system.

Luciano left this morning for the courthouse as it was the first hearing of the case between him and Perez. Arielle had wanted him to postpone it since it was just two days after his grandfather was buried but he had told her he couldn’t because he had to be there since he was the one who filed the case. He had promised to be back early.

Arielle walked into the restroom to take a bath, she took off her clothes and undies, she was about to wash her panties when she noticed the blood on them, at first, she didn’t give it much thought but then she remembered she was supposed to be pregnant. She wasn’t supposed to be seeing her flow while pregnant. She felt herself start to panic and willed herself to relax and calm down.

“What do I do?”

she asked as she dumped the bloody undies in the wash bowl and checked herself, she was really bleeding, so she hurriedly took a bath and went to dress up after which she started pacing around the penthouse thinking of what she was going to do, she had been sure that she was pregnant and it wasn’t a miscarriage because she didn’t feel any pain.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“I need to redo the test to be sure,”

She told herself as she went to grab her bag and collected some money from the money Luciano had given to her even when she had told him she had no use for it. Well, she has a use for it now, she walked out of the house into the elevator hoping she would find her driver once she got down, if not, she would have to take a cab, which was not a problem. She knew she should just go to the hospital for a proper test but she didn’t want it just yet, she needed to reconfirm if she was even pregnant at all, plus she didn’t want Luciano finding out just yet.

Thankfully, when she got to the entrance, she saw her driver and instructed him to take her to the mall to get the kit, she didn’t want to go too far and the mall was closer to her. since they sold the kits too, she got from them and decided to check in their restroom, of course, she was scared. She didn’t want the first test she had done to turn out to be a false alarm, even though she hadn’t told Luciano about the baby yet, she has grown attached to her in the last couple of days, and finding out it was all false would break her. She read the instruction properly to make sure she wasn’t making any mistakes and did as instructed. She waited for five minutes, her heart racing so fast, she breathed in relief when she saw the two lines again.

“It is still there,”

She let out in relief as she disposed of the used kit and flushed the toilet before washing her hands, she felt relief knowing it wasn’t a false alarm but then she couldn’t stop wondering why she was still getting her period while pregnant, maybe her body wasn’t used to it yet, or maybe she was one of the few women who still get their period even while pregnant, she hated not knowing so she concluded that she will check it online once she get home. There was a laptop in the penthouse that she has been using to watch movies on movie streaming platforms.

Arielle walked out of the restroom and decided to get some extra kit so that she will do a few more retakes before eventually telling Luciano, she decided she would tell him before the week runs out. She went around the axis and got herself some chocolates and a few other things she needed before walking with everything to the cashier.

Arielle walked out of the mall and looked around for her driver but he was nowhere to be found, she couldn’t call him because her phone wasn’t with her and she didn’t want to wait all day for him, not like she was sure he would be back, maybe something came up. She decided to take a cab, she walked out of the complex building and found a waiting cab, she walked up to the driver and told her where she was going, she got into the car and it zoomed off.

As the car drove away, she couldn’t help the feeling of doubt that settled in her again, what if all the kits were false? maybe she should have just gone to the hospital and done the confirmation there, all her doubts would have been cleared, but she knew Luciano would have found out if she had gone to the hospital and she didn’t want him to find out that way, well at least she knew her baby was still there, hopefully.

“Can you please turn down the music,”

She called out to the driver, she wasn’t a fan of the kind of song he was playing, he turned it down and she rested her head on the car seat and closed her eyes. She didn’t know why she suddenly felt sleepy but she figured she could rest her head a little and the driver would wake her up once they arrived.

However, when she did open her eyes again, she felt lightheaded and it took her some minutes to figure out where she was, she still felt sleepy, she looked out of the car and realized they were no longer driving on the street but on the highway.

“Hey, I think you are going the wrong way,”

She managed to say, she couldn’t even lift herself as she was so weak and tired and felt like going to sleep again but she knew she had to tell him to stop. She tried her best and managed to sit up, still light-headed.

“I said you are going the wrong way. Can you stop?”

She voiced but the driver ignored her. Even in her sleep-dazed state, she realized something wasn’t quite right and fear enveloped her. She tried to fight the sleep but the more she tried, the more lightheaded she became until she gave up and fell asleep, she wasn’t sleeping so deeply but she couldn’t get herself to wake up, she knew when the car stopped, heard the driver speaking to someone but couldn’t make out what they were saying, knew when someone opened the car door and dragged her out, knew she was being carried and then dumped in another car but she couldn’t open her eyes or do anything on her own, it felt like she was paralyzed and trapped in her body. She hated the feeling but there was nothing she could do at that moment, especially when her body wasn’t even responding, she prayed that wherever they were taking her, that Luciano would find her and save her.
