CHAPTER 243 “What is it?” Sara slowly stopped what she was doing when she noticed that Luca seemed a little serious. Knowing him, she understood that he was unpredictable, and she didn’t know what to expect from him. He had always been like a shadow—visible but untouchable, with unpredictable moves. He felt almost invincible. She thought back to the last time he had come into her club without anyone knowing; she still couldn’t believe it. Deep down, she had concluded that he was a psycho, not really what he claimed to be. But each time she paid people to dig into his background, they came back with nothing, leaving her with no option but to quit. Sara dropped her earrings and walked to Luca. “What is it?” she asked calmly. He breathed in, wondering if this was the right time to reveal himself to her. He wasn’t sure how she would react. He had kept her in the dark all these months they had been married, but that had helped him see her true character and other parts of her family. Sti

CHAPTER 245 “What?” Sara flashed her a mocking smile. “Don’t be offended by mere facts, dear sister. Put that energy into getting a man to wife you. Time ain't on your side, dear.” Sara walked past her and dragged a chair, joining them for breakfast. Rose glared at her, fists clenched in slow anger. She wished she could leap over the table and smack Sara’s face or land a few good slaps across her flawless skin. Everything about Sara just seemed to rile her up, and she suddenly lost her appetite. She picked up her spoon but held it beside her plate. Meanwhile, the whole place was filled with silence. The tension was palpable as everyone’s eyes glazed over at her. Unaware of their furtive gazes, Sara dished herself a small portion of food, careful of what she ate because of her baby. When she raised her gaze, her eyes widened slightly at the sight of everyone staring. “Just a week, and marriage looks so good on you. Any secrets?” Grandpa teased. “Or should I go get a new wife for my

CHAPTER 247 “Pull the car over in front of that hotel,” Luca instructed. Once the car stopped, he exited and made his way into the hotel, leaving his security downstairs. One of them quickly opened the door and trailed after him, but Luca turned back with a stern look. “I'm fine. This is Giovanni's hotel. You don’t need to be so protective; I’m fine.” The man stood down, nodding his head in response, while Luca entered the hotel where his team was already waiting for him. He had called them earlier about meeting up after his sudden disappearance. In the days following his honeymoon, he had been busy signing documents related to his family conglomerates that Edmund thought he had a handle on. Taking the elevator, Luca stepped in and heaved a deep sigh of relief. Finally, he would have the chance to relax and talk to normal people in the most comfortable way possible. Working with the Shadow Ops didn’t feel normal to him. The whole horrific atmosphere and lack of camaraderie bored hi

CHAPTER 249 With that, Luca exited the building and quickly went outside to the driveway where his cars were parked and the Shadow Ops were waiting for him, just as he instructed. When he arrived, they bowed their heads in respect, and he settled into one of the cars, instructing them to drive him to a salon. He needed to look really good before storming the reunion venue. He couldn't be caught looking anything less than perfect. As the car drove to one of the best salons in the city, Luca's eyes drifted outside as he thought about his life and how everything had changed in such a short period of time. From a delivery man to the renowned Lord Ercole. As the car glided through the streets, his mind wandered back to the first moment he realized who he was trying to be. From the humblest beginnings, he was now expecting a child with Sara, the woman he had grown to love over time. He still couldn't wrap his head around the fact that they would be having a baby together and that he was go

CHAPTER 251 About thirty minutes later, the towel was removed from Luca’s face, and smoke filled the air. They were done with the facials. Once the treatment came to an end, Luca heaved a deep sigh of relief, and the lady lifted the towel from his face, revealing a new radiant glow. The steam rose from his skin, carrying the sweet scent of vanilla and aloe vera. Luca's skin looked refreshed and noticeably smoother than before. The lady’s lips parted into a deep smile. Luca sat up and stretched his neck, feeling the cool air on his skin as he took a deep breath. The lady spun the chair around, turning Luca to face the gigantic mirror in front of him. He stood up, his eyes glued to the mirror; he couldn’t stop gazing at his new look. Once he caught a full glimpse of himself, he couldn’t help but smile. His skin looked a little brighter than usual and even more toned, with his pores appearing smaller. The fine lines on his forehead seemed less noticeable, and his complexion? It suddenl
