Luca smiled. "Oh yes, babe. You can check it out and unwrap it by yourself." He handed over the package to her.Sara glanced at him for a second, trying to guess what the second gift might be, but she came out clueless and continued to unwrap the gift gently while all of her family members were looking at her. The hall went hushed with silence as they watched her unwrap the second one to unveil the second gift. Meanwhile, Ivy's chest started to tighten in rage. The first gift Luca had brought in was enough to prove his worth, and now he was even bringing another one.Two minutes later, Sara was done unwrapping the gift, and she took a deep breath before turning it over to herself to see what was on the portrait. When she did, a deep sense of shock waves washed over her as her mouth fell agape in shock. It was "The Lady of Shalott" by William Holman Hunt. She was shocked that Luca had brought one of her best paintings as a gift for her. How did he even know about her preferences?Sara

Stefano felt like he had been punched in the gut. He couldn't believe what Luca had just told him. How did Luca know all these secrets about Stefano? Stefano's face flushed with anger, and he noticed that exchanging more words with Luca would only lead to him exposing more of what he doesn't want people to see."Why are you deviating from the topic of discussion? You know the portrait is fake, and you're trying to hide it."The tension in the room was only increasing. The onlookers' attention was glued on the two men, especially because everyone knew who Stefano was, and Luca wasn't scared of him. The fact that he was standing up to Stefano made everyone question who he was."Who is this guy? He's got some nerve standing up to Stefano like that. Does he really know who the hell Stefano is? He must be digging his own grave!""I don't know, but I like his style. About time someone took Stefano down a peg," another person opined.A woman laughed. "Someone took on Stefano? You must be sil

Once Luca saw him advancing towards Larosa, he quickly intervened, seeing that Larosa was already drunk."Father, please forgive her. I think she is drunk," Luca urged pleadingly.Larosa quickly interjected, "What do you mean I am drunk? Oh, Luca, don't be dumb! This old nerd over here is trying to bully me with his wealth. Well, he must think I'm some sort of slut, but I'm not!" She paused and chuckled. "He is the bully here, and he should be apologizing, not the other way around."Luca quickly walked over to where she was and stylishly nudged her so she could shut up, but that wasn't enough to shut a drunk woman up.The man looked at Luca and said, "Are you really trying to cover up for her? You dumb fool! You should be thankful I don't care about what you do, or else I would have thrown you out of the family!"Luca furrowed his brows in disbelief. "That is quite impossible. I am fulfilling my husbandly duties well, and your daughter is not complaining!" His words were stern.Larosa

Why was she back to the Edward family? Apparently, she had been gone for the past eight years, and out of the blue, she is back as if she didn't leave on her own accord.And everyone around the table weren't talking; everyone was just smiling, which made Luca even more pissed. His first twenty-four hours with her, and she had already tried to poison him. Staying under the same roof with her forever, who knows what else she has up her sleeve?Meanwhile, Sara was taken aback seeing her grandma at the same dining table with her. She would have thought her grandma was just here because of the birthday celebrations, but hearing that she was going to be here with them suddenly made her sick to her stomach."Grandpa, how is that possible?" She asked, her brows forming a deep line on her forehead. "I thought you two were divorced? What changed?"The entire table went silent; a different type of energy started to fill the room, and the atmosphere became electric with tension. They all gave her

His plans for the day were to enjoy the day with Sara on the yacht, but now she has just ruined it all and left him stranded on the way. Whenever she smiled at him, he always thought she was already taking him in as her husband, but it seemed that would never happen. Even after giving her the best gifts on her birthday, she still doesn't seem to care about anything.Luca looked around and saw a bus stop right across where he had alighted. The day was too hot, and even Sara didn't care; she had just dropped him off, and he didn't have much money on him. He walked over to the bus stop and sat there to take a rest before thinking of where he was heading next. It's definitely not back to work; he doesn't have the zeal to do that now.As he sat there, an idea chimed into his head. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed Blue's number. He had actually forgotten that he had asked her to drive Larosa home last night when she got wasted.After the second ring, she picked up. "Hello, sir. Good
