LUDOVICA

2 WEEKS LATER

I WENT TO THE BANK THIS MORNING.
why? I needed withdraw 1 million.
I put them in a duffel bag, I got in my maserati, and drove to my penthouse, not mansion today, I want to stay at my penthouse tonight.

I bought the one million into my house, I drop the bag in the floor with a loud thud, I pause, to look at the unbelievable view from the glass window.

I shake my head and kneel down to open the bag to face 1 million fucking dollars... I only became a multi millionaire 4 years ago, and till this day, it still shocks me.

I slowly pick up the banknotes, each stack is 10 thousands, I don't even want to calculate how many stacks there are here to make a million...
100 actually.

I pick them all out and place them on my couch, the couch is covered. I push them apart to make myself some space to sit, some of them fall of the couch.

I sit down, there. In between 1. Million. Dollars.

Oh ludovica...

I drag a hand down my face as the memories of 4 years ago invade my mind.

"you will do as I say, ludovica."
He says breathlessly, his shaking hand wrapped around my neck, my back pressed on the wall behind me, his other hand on the side of my face, harshly.
His breath heavy matching mine, his eyes are angered and sharp looking into my wide ones, terrifying me.
"SPEAK!" he says roughly, his grip on my neck tightens, the tears on my face dripping again, I try to breath but it hurts.
"i-I won't say I won't say I swear if I'll say anything"  I say fastly, my chest heaving to force in oxygen into my lungs.
"good... Good sweetheart... I love you know that? -

I gasp loudly as I flinch, I clutch the ege of the cough as my eyes fly open, facing the night view of new York breath. I breath in and out to calm down.
I look down to my lap and at the money. I sigh loudly.

Its over. I did it. I got what I wanted I fulfilled my dreams..

Dominic is coming over tonight so we can discuss the project.

All we have to do is write out what we want how we want them design and our editors will do everything.

We pay them a fortune, they do well, I know that.

I lift up my wrist and check the time, 7:23pm.

My eyes move somewhere else. Rolex. Ah ludovica, look at you. Checking the time on your rolex watch... Fucking unbelievable.

I laugh to myself like a psychopath.

I need to put away this money before Dominic comes and he thinks I'm bragging or I'm just stupid enough to keep 1 million dollars in anew York penthouse.

"I love you ludo, don't fucking twist my words"

Shut up.

"don't leave me. Turn. Don't leave.-"

He's out. Out. Out.

Focus.

I'm gonna kill Dominic with my two hand if hes late again.
