Chapter 13

• Arielle sat heavily on the chair after doing a random search of the house and finding nothing, Luciano’s manly and expensive scent still lingered in the room, and the taste of his lips too, she still couldn’t believe she let him kiss her, but even more than the kiss was a bigger fear, which enveloped her as the reality of her situation dawned on her, Luciano had no reason to lie, he won't say shits like that if they were not real, she couldn't keep deluding herself that he was lying on her parents, for one, they were not here.
• “How could they?”
• She voiced out as painful tears gathered in her eyes, she always knew they never loved or cared for her but she never once thought they would do something this awful to her, leave her at the mercy of someone as devious as Luciano, like no one, absolutely no one who loves someone will do that, she say in silence all day trying to figure out what her next move would be and nothing came up, she had nothing, she searched the whole house for clues as to where her parents went but nothing, they left no clue, they left her high and dry.
