The following day, just past ten in the morning, Sara pulled into the hospital and parked her car in the lot. She quickly exited her vehicle and made her way to the doctor's office for her antenatal appointment."Good morning, Doctor," she greeted before settling into the chair.The doctor smiled. "Hello, Miss Sara. How are you doing? I hope you're well."Sara responded, "Of course I am. Don't I look good?"The doctor burst out laughing. "You look stressed, but I hope it's not affecting your baby."Standing up from her chair, the doctor helped Sara up and ushered her into the next room, where they checked the baby's status."Where is the father of the child? I think you're stressing out too much. I can literally see it on your face. I will need to have a little talk with him. Can you make that happen?"Sara forced a smile. "Okay, I'll do that. When I get home, I'll inform him, and we will come next month for my check-up."The doctor smiled. "Good. Bye, see you next time."As Sara walk

At Santaro hotel. Larosa parked her car in the garage and made her way to the top of the building, where other members were waiting for her. “What did you find? Any information on Luca?” George rose from his chair, his curiosity piqued. She heaved a deep sigh. “Nothing. The whole place was blown up, but after checking thoroughly, they said there was no sign of human blood or bodies. However, there was human DNA found ten minutes before the bomb went off.” Giovanni sighed in relief. “Luca is alive. He is not dead, but I don't think he is fine or in safe hands.” Fabio questioned, “What if this was all a plot from Edmund? What if he is still the one with Luca, but he just blew up the place to deceive us?” Larosa's expression turned grim. "That's what I'm thinking too, Fabio. What if Edmund is still playing us? What if he's using Luca as bait to lure us into a trap? He couldn’t have just blown up that place for fun.” George's face turned pale. "We can't rule that out. We hav

At the Edward Residence. “48 hours to go, and the groom is still nowhere to be found. He didn't go to check his fittings yesterday; that's surprising, isn't it?” Jacob brought it up again while everyone was eating. “Isn't he trying to run away from the wedding while Sara keeps hiding it?” Sara gulped before replying. “Jacob, mind your business. I'd appreciate it if you would just stop looking into my marriage.” She paused and rolled her eyes. “Why don't you go find yourself a wife?” Jacob raised an eyebrow, a sly smile spreading across his face. “Oh, I'm just looking out for you, dear sister. You know I only want what's best for you. And if that means pointing out that your fiancé is clearly getting cold feet, then so be it.” Sara's face reddened with annoyance. She wasn't a fool; she knew he was deliberately picking on her to get her family involved. “Jacob,” she called out, “I told you to mind your own business! You have no idea what's going on between Luca and me. So just

"What?" Sara gasped, her eyes wide with shock as she tried to digest what she had just heard. "That can't be true, right, Dad?" She moved closer and asked her father, "How can Luca be Lord Ercole?" "I'm not sure! I'm trying to piece everything together. If he isn't Ercole, then he is very close to him! Those men who came to you are the Shadow Ops, and they can't run petty errands like sending invitation cards," he explained. Sara sat back in her chair, leaning against the back as her mind raced with different thoughts. …….. At Larosa's residence. The following day, Larosa walked out of her living room only to find Fabio placing dishes on the dining table. She slowly wiped her eyes, trying to clear the sleep from them. She couldn't believe Fabio was wearing an apron and making breakfast for both of them. She had agreed that he could stay in her mansion until they were able to find Luca. She even went so far as to give him a flat in her mansion for himself and his men, while also

Nearly three hours later, all the elders started to troop inside the venue for their quick meetings before they returned to their daily activities. Larosa sat inside her car with Fabio. They had received the information a few hours ago, but seeing that neither George nor Giovanni was there yet, they decided to wait for them before going inside. A few minutes later, George and Giovanni drove in and parked their car right next to Larosa's. Once they all exited their cars, Larosa walked up to Giovanni and raised her gaze to him. “I saw your club when I was going to my warehouse. I hope you're okay?” Gio sighed. “What can I say? I will be good. You don't have to worry!” With that, they all made their way inside, but surprisingly, Edmund wasn't there yet. Meanwhile, Edmund and Stefano were still at Edmund's residence while the elders were arriving in numbers. Edmund buttoned up his clothes, his face brimming with smiles. “Did you say all the elders are present? I mean all of them? No
