Chapter 77: Chapter 77

“You know what? I will be outside, Meet me once you are ready, if I stay here, we might not get to have our little date,”

He said and walked out leaving her on her own, she smiled and got dressed, she decided to pack her hair up in a messy bun, make was pretty much zero because she didn’t know what to do, he did say it was going to be just the two of them, it has been just the two of them for the whole week anyway, the only few times she saw other people was when they went to eat and most of the time, he went out and got them food which they either ate watching the sunset or in their room. less than fifteen minutes later, she was done and walked out of the room, she met him outside and he reached out for her, she gladly took his hand and walked out of the lounge with him, she had thought they were leaving the villa completely, but she was wrong, he turned the corners and she let out a gasped at the sight before her, so this is what he spent the whole day doing and she thought he went out to have fun on his own.

“Wow, you did all these?’

She asked stopping in her track, he let her go and walked ahead of her, her eyes followed him, the whole place was decorated with dim multi-light and flower petals, there was a table set in the middle, the most romantic night date scene, surrounded by nature, it looked so magical, the man standing and smiling at her was even more magical, the fact that he even thought of doing something like this for her made her emotional.

“Are you going to stand there all night? The food will go cold, come on,”

He beckoned, she didn’t need to be told twice, she ran towards him and hugged him.

“Thank you, Luciano, this is so beautiful,”

“I am glad you like it, I worked hard and it was even harder to work in silence with you a few minutes away, I didn’t want you finding out,”

He said rubbing her back, he did so well, she really didn’t have a clue.

“You did good,”

She responded and they broke their hug, he helped her into her seat and they sat down and ate while having little talks, after dinner, he asked her for a dance and she gladly accepted, they danced without their shoes on, it was the most perfect night of her life, she never once imagined that she would experience something as beautiful as this, she felt herself tear up.

“Hey, are you okay?’

He asked lifting her face, she stared at his beautiful eyes and nodded.

“I am okay, this is so perfect, I am happy<”

She responded smiling.

“I am glad,”

He replied.

“Thank you for a wonderful time here, Luciano, I had so much fun, thank you for showing me a world I never would have imagined I would see,”

She said smiling as tears gathered in her eyes, he made everything feel beautiful and made her feel wanted, not just tonight but the whole of the week had been magical.

“Don’t cry,”

He said and hugged her, she held onto him willing the tears to go away, they weren’t sad tears though.

“I have a little present for you,”

He said turning her around so that her back was on him.

“More present?”

She asked, it was as if he wanted her to be more emotional, she felt his breath against her ear right before his arms went around her neck, and she stared at the beautiful petal that fell above her breast.

“Wow, it is beautiful,”

She whispered and turned to face him again, he had a bright smile on, and the moonlight was dancing over his handsome face.

“Not as beautiful as you though! you like it? I had it customized just for you, there is only one of this in the whole world, just like there is only one of you in the world.”

“Wow,”

She replied. She had zero doubt, the man went out of his way to do things for her which made her question why she ever thought he was heartless, she had misjudged him and he keeps doing things for her which further proves it.

“Thank you,”

She said and hugged him, he wrapped his arms around her too and they stayed like that for more than five minutes before he took her hand and lead her to their room, where he made sweet and heart-stopping love to her, it felt even more special with the evening they shared and the fact that it was their last night, of course, they would keep making love when they get back to Russia but it still felt special to her and she knew she would never forget how she felt tonight, stored and kept in the sea of happy memories she has made with him so far.

As she lay on the bed after, watching him snore softly, she couldn’t help but think about how much things have changed between them, he went from being her worst nightmare to being her friend, went from being her captor to the one who gave her more freedom than she has ever thought she could have, looking at him now, she couldn’t find any reason to hate or dislike him, all those hate and anger she felt towards him before melted away and in their place was a warm feeling she couldn’t describe or identify, she had no intentions of identifying it anyway, she fears if she did, it may cause her pain and she didn’t want pains, she wanted to enjoy what they had to the last second, he moved in his sleep and pulled her closer to him, wrapping her in his arms, he did that every night, it was like he didn’t want her away from him even while he slept, she didn’t want to be away from him either.

“You are going to put yourself in big trouble girl,”

The voice in her head whispered. Arielle bite hard on her lips fearing that she was already in big trouble…
