Luciano watched her sleep. They have been locked up in the room all day, enjoying each other’s company and making up for the one week they spent away from each other. one week that felt like years to Luciano because he missed having her in his arms so much. He could barely focus on what he had gone for and spent more than half of the time thinking of the woman he left at home. It was something that had never happened to him before. Until Danielle, work had always been first for him but now, she was first and his head was always filled with her. On the fifth day, the men had arranged for some women to be brought to them. According to them, it was a way of letting loose and having fun. He had backed out of it without even blinking and they had stared at him like he was some kind of foreigner or alien but then he told them he had a wife at home and he wasn’t about to entertain some other woman. Not just him, some others backed out too, and before long, everyone decided to not go ahead w

Luciano paced back and forth in the waiting area of the hospital he had rushed Danielle to. He couldn’t think properly. He didn’t know what happened. All he knew was that he went to check dessert which he had kept in the freezer. Danielle’s favorite chocolate ice cream, it wasn’t up to five minutes but when he came back, Danielle was on the floor and she was barely breathing. The ride to the hospital had been hellish for him. He didn’t even remember how he got her out of the house or how long it took for them to get to the hospital. She was collected from him as soon as they arrived and now it was over one hour and no one was talking to him. “Please,”He pleaded countless times. He didn’t want her to die, couldn’t live knowing he caused her death. He couldn’t believe that just when he thought he would finally give up thinking that he was bad news for anyone he cared about this happened. This was the icing on the cake for him. the only proof he needed to finally accept that he was the

Dani looked around trying to find Luciano but he was nowhere. She was sure she heard his voice earlier when she had been struggling to wake up. She really thought she was going to die when she couldn’t breathe but Luciano saved her. She hoped he wasn’t blaming himself for what happened because it wasn’t his fault. There was no way he would have known what she was allergic to. “Where is my boyfriend?”Dani asked Lydia who looked around too. “He was here a while ago,”Lydia said. She got up and walked to the door. Dani turned to Keira. “I think he blames himself for what happened.”Keira said. Dani shook her head. “It wasn’t his fault. I didn’t tell him I had any allergy. I should have known but I wasn’t even thinking about allergies when I tasted the food and it was so good. I only realized after I started feeling itchy,”She explained. “That man of yours doesn’t think so. I told him that you won’t blame him for what happened but he stubbornly refused to listen. I guess you can ta

“Hi, I am here to see Luciano Miko,”Dani said to the person she met at the desk. “Oh, please who are you?”“Ms. King?” Dani turned around when someone screamed her name and saw Ella running to her. She smiled. “Ella, how have you been?”She asked. At least Ella was someone she could talk to.“I have been fine. We missed you here. She used to work for the boss.”Ella told the other person who was looking at them in confusion. “Oh,”That was all she said. Dani turned her attention back to Ella. She saw she was looking at her belle but unlike Gloria, she didn’t ask any questions. “Ella, where is Luciano?”Dani asked. “He is not here. He hasn’t been at the office for more than two weeks now. Since he got back from the trip, he hasn’t shown up here.”Ella revealed. Dani let out a sigh. Now she was even more worried. For Luciano to not show up at the company just shows it was more than she thought. He wasn’t hiding away from her. He was hiding away from the world.“Did you have somet

Dani stared at her in confusion. What did she expect her to do? Be scared? Yes, she was scared; not of Luciano but for him. for the things that he might be thinking right now and for how he might hide himself away from fear of losing another person he cared about. Thinking about it now, it all finally made sense to her. why he suddenly ran off. He blamed himself for what happened. Not just to her but to every person he cared about. She wanted to find him, hug him close, and tell him none of what happened was his fault. “Hey!”Amy yelled to get her attention. “What? Is that the big news and why do you think I should leave Luciano? why would the tragic incidents that happened to him be a reason for me to leave him?”Dani asked her. surely that wasn’t all. “You still don’t get it? if you don’t leave him then you might die too. you or the baby you carry in your womb or maybe the both of you,”Dani couldn’t believe what she was saying to her face right now. The woman was sick and there
