In the Edward family Residence. 7:37pm.. Sara was seated at the dining table with other family members. It was only twenty-four hours before her wedding, and the groom was still not found. She picked at her food bit by bit; deep down, she didn't really have an appetite to eat, but missing a meal would only show how bothered she was about Luca not being there. Jacob and the others took turns glancing at her, each of them noticing how pale her face looked while she ate and how she could barely swallow the food. Jacob suddenly cleared his throat and said, “We can cancel the wedding and stop hoping if you want to.” Sara raised her gaze and forced a smile. “Well, thank you for the suggestion, but I’m not interested.” Jacob's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at Sara, his expression a mixture of concern and subtle mockery. “Oh, come on, Sara,” he said, his voice dripping with false sympathy. “Don’t be stubborn. It’s clear that Luca’s not interested in showing up. You're just embarras

CHAPTER 223 Sara's mouth slackened into a smile; she giggled and quickly followed her husband. She couldn't wait to see what other wonders he had planned. Using a whole entourage was enough surprise for her today, but she was still open to any more surprises to come, so she followed him. When they reached the entrance, the door slowly slid open, and the men inside quickly bowed in respect once they saw Luca. Sara was slightly confused as to why they were being so respectful to someone like Luca, but she brushed it off. She was only interested in what he had in store for her wedding. She already had a bet with that jerk Jacob, and knowing Jacob, she knew she was in deep trouble if her wedding was anything short of extravagant and luxurious. Once they walked into the closet where shoes were stacked up, Sara gasped. She untangled her hand from Luca’s and stood in shock. Each shoe was shining and gleaming with gold or silver. She didn't need any soothsayer to tell her that those shoes

CHAPTER 236 Meanwhile, Larosa , Giovanni, George, and Fabio had already arrived at the venue and were seated where they had been assigned. They couldn't believe the extravagant interior decorations, but a part of them was still worried that they hadn't seen Luca. “This place is just so good! I didn't expect him to go this far just because he’s getting married to that woman,” Fabio said. Giovanni looked around. “I'm more than impressed myself. I can't believe he went all out to do this.” Larosa rolled her eyes. “You know he really loves that bitch, right? I wish he had gone for someone else. All of them in that family irk my soul every time I walk past them.” George laughed. “You have to reconsider now that they're fully married. At least now you know she is part of the family.” Larosa simply rolled her eyes, looking away. She knew she would have to adjust since Luca had finally chosen her despite everything. She still couldn't understand why it wasn’t her. She felt a pang of pain

CHAPTER 237 Meanwhile, the whole hall was filled with gasps as Sara stood there, her eyes darting around like she was stranded, and Luca wasn’t coming in. The room fell into a heavy silence as everyone pulled out their phones in anticipation for the groom. After a good ten minutes of waiting, the camera lights began to reduce, and Sara gulped slowly, a wave of shame washing over her. She tapped her fingers nervously, praying silently that Luca would show up. She had been with him just minutes ago in the dressing room, and he left, saying he needed to grab something. He promised her he would be back in the next few minutes before it was time to walk down the aisle, but now she was standing in front of everyone, and her husband was nowhere to be found. Her gaze was fixed downwards; she didn’t want to look into the crowd or see where her family was seated. Without looking, she could already visualize Jacob’s smug smile at the thought that Luca wasn’t coming. His lips curled into a g

CHAPTER 240 The majority of the guests' eyes widened in shock, and some mouths hung open in disbelief at the sight of Luca in his custom-made Givenchy suit. Edmund and Stefano's laughter froze on their lips once they noticed Luca; they just sat there staring at him with a mixture of surprise and confusion. Not that they had expected him to be dead; they knew he wasn't dead, but they expected that since he had escaped the explosion, he would have some bruises or injuries that might prevent him from coming to the wedding. They couldn't believe he had come and was fully healthy. With the way he walked, flexing his steps and muscles, anyone could tell there were no injuries on his body. The question that lingered in their minds was: where had he been all this time if he was never injured? Sara's eyes, which had been welling up with tears—even though she had seen him less than twenty-four hours ago—noticed that Luca seemed like a new person and that there was something he was hiding from
