Chapter 90
Luciano waited for Yoey to show up, it was almost ten pm and they only reason he was allowed to stay waiting for Yoey till this time was because one of the officers in charge was a close acquittance who was able to pull some strings for him, not enough to get him out of jail though, he spoke to uncle Laz earlier and he had told him they were doing everything to get him out, he already knew it would take up to a week or more before he would be allowed out of here, he couldn’t just sit in cell and be quiet till then, he needed to work on his own too, prove his innocence by finding the real killer and also make sure his assets were safe’ which is why he had got his own people working overtime to find whoever had gotten into Don’s villa and killed him and some of his men, the ones who survived were still not awake from coma yet so until they could talk, he wouldn’t be leaving here, he hoped they wake up soon so that he can get out of here and do the needful, one thing was sure, whoever killed Don, even if it was Macko who is his biggest suspect, he would make them pay in the worse way possibly known to mankind.
“Yoey, what took you so long?’
Luciano queried after Yoey finally showed up, he looked so stressed out and Luciano felt bad for him but there was no one else he could trust with his personal business and he wasn’t about to lose his hard-earned properties to the authorities, he already knew they were waiting to sink their unwashed cloaks into what he owned and whoever killed Don and set him up just gave them the license to, or so they thought, what they don’t know is that he always had a plan B even if he doesn’t have a plan A in the first place, this time, he didn’t have many options, all evidence points against him, he was the last person with Don and for some weird reasons, the gun found at the scene of the crime belonged to him, of course, it was a licensed gun but still it being there was enough proof for the police that he did it, which gave him only one choice and that’s what he intended to do.
“Sorry I took so long, I had to drop by the house again to check something,”
He apologized.
“There is no need to apologize Yoey, you are doing a lot right now, so how far?”
“I am sorry sir, but your wife,”
Yeoy apologized again as he took his seat.
“What did she do? And how far with what I asked you to do for me?’
Luciano asked
“Your wife wants to come here, for some reason, she thinks I hate her and that’s why I don’t want her to come and see you, as I had to go back to the house, I had to wait until I was sure she would be in her room before I went back to the mansion, I didn’t want her to jump me,”
Yoey lamented, Luciano didn’t have a response for that, he already gave the instructions that she is not to show up near, him, if she does, his plans might not work out, his plans were simple, he planned on getting her to divorce him and for the divorce settlement, he would sign everything he owned to her, that way, no matter what happened, his assets and everything he worked hard for will be safe.
“What about what I asked you to do?”
He asked.
“I still think this isn’t right, you are innocent and it will be proven soon and you will get everything back but giving everything away to a woman you barely know? That’s a risk,”
Yeoy said, Luciano understood his fear but even though he only knew Arielle for a few short months, he knew he could bet on her, as long as she sign the divorce paper, he knew that would be the hard part, it was hard for him too, he didn’t want to let her go but that’s all he got, that’s the only way to save himself from losing everything he worked hard for, he hoped she can understand him and do as he says.
“Yoey, I trust Arielle more than anyone else, do you want me to sign everything to your name, I trust you too, honestly you both are my only option, if you think it is not wise to sign everything to Arielle, then I can sign them to you, if you betray me I can easily kill you,”
Luciano responded.
“To think you are already in jail because of murder, stop with the thought of killing people, and I don’t want what’s yours, I don’t trust my mom, she can make me sign everything to her and I won’t be able to say no, on a serious note, are you sure this is a safe option?”
Yoey asked out of concern and Luciano nodded, Arielle would never betray him, he was betting on the feeling he thinks she has for him and hoping they will be enough for her to keep what’s his safe.
“Yes, it is a safe option, you just need to make her sign first, which will make it seem like she filed for the divorce and get those papers to me, aside from that, any breakthrough regarding the other stuff?”
Luciano asked changing the topic, he didn’t have much time until he has to return to his cell.
“Not much, he is not showing up, not even after bailing him, I think we should give it more time, I am sure he will be trying to cover his tracks,”
Yeoy explained, Luciano was sure that’s what the bastard was doing, hopefully, they will find him soon, Macko would get what was coming for him, and he would not be able to hide forever.
“About Don’s woman, I overheard your wife speaking to her, I may have eavesdropped on their conversation and she was planning to go see her tomorrow, just want to let you know,”
Yoey informed and Luciano shook his head in disapproval, he didn’t trust the older woman, why had she not been at the mansion the night Don was killed when just a few days earlier, she had happily come to get Don when he had asked her, if only he had not told Don to go home maybe he would still be here, he didn’t want that woman near his woman until he can prove that she is innocent and is not part of this whole thing.
“Don’t let her go see her, in fact, restrict all her movement, it is not safe for her to leave the house anyway, the media would want to question her and whoever is responsible for this could go after her, make sure she stays within the mansion until further notice, she is not to meet with Lily at all,”
He instructed.
“I don’t think that will be easy, she is so stubborn she might throw something at me and possibly kill me if I go and tell her that, she is scary when she is pissed.”
Yoey complained.
“You are scared of one tiny woman?”
“I am, she is worse than my mom, I could tell she was controlling herself earlier, I don’t know if she would control herself again if I go and tell her this so I will just pass the message across to the men, plus I increased security as you instructed,”
he revealed and Luciano nodded in approval to the last part of his sentence.
“I don’t care how you go about it but make sure she doesn’t leave the house and even more importantly, she should not show up here no matter what,”
Luciano instructed, Arielle seeing him like this was not something he wanted, not even if that will make her hate him, he just didn’t want her involved with this or him in any way and also didn’t want to ruin his plans.
“You just want me dead but I will try,”
yoey said with a yawn. Luciano realized just how tired he must be, he has been running around all day.
“You go home and rest so that you will be refreshed for tomorrow, you don’t have to come here until she has signed the papers, let the legal team do their part in getting me out of here while you focus on keeping what’s mine.”
he said.
“Yes sir,”
“And make sure the papers are ready and she signs before the week runs out,”
He further instructed.
“Yes sir, but that will be Friday because that’s when I promised her that I will bring her here, I need to gather all the stamina to face her again,”
Yeoy said holding his chest.
“Good,”
“On a serious note though, are you okay? I know your relationship with Don wasn’t all that great, but you love him a lot and this must be hard for you, and given the current situation,”
Yeoy said with a concerned voice, Luciano spotted the officer coming their way and knew his time was up, he turned back to Yoey and managed a weak smile.
“I am not okay right now, but I will be once we can sort everything out and also give Don the kind of burial he deserves, I will work on being okay, you take care of what’s mine and I will reward you after everything is over,”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
He said and he stood up as the officer got to them, Yoey stood up too.
“Go get some rest,”
he said to his trusted assistant and followed the officer back into his small cell, he was starting to get used to being in this small space, he lay on the bed and crossed his hand over his forehead, pity how this is how the mighty Luciano Siegel would be spending this night and a couple of coming night, he would bear it but one thing was sure, this would end soon and he will be back being the might bad boss and get his empire back and his woman too because he had every plan of keeping Arielle with him for a long time…
