He looked at Hugo with a strained expression. He knew Hugo, was in the vicinity. Lucas doesn't want to see her, especially for now.
"What is it, Lucas? You look worried, " he said with a caring tone.
Luna is unaware of Hugo's presence there but notices Lucas looking agitated.
Lucas took a deep breath before replying, "Hugo is here, and I don't want to see him."
Luna sensed her new husband's uneasiness with an attentive look.
The initiative from Luna immediately grabbed Lucas ' large body hugging him tightly.
As they embrace, Luna whispers in Lucas ' ear, "We can do it, Lucas. We are strong together."Sounds sweet for Lucas as he welcomes Luna's warm embrace.
They silently smiled through the tension just now. Luna couldn't help but smile behind Lucas ' body.
Hugo just passed a cursory look towards the couple Luna and Lucas.
Lucas's face looks tense having to cross paths with Hudo. The man who almost knew Lucas's whereabouts probably didn't, because they hadn't seen each other for a dozen years.
The atmosphere in the car is just here silent since earlier.
“Where are your thoughts!"Luna's screams brought Lucas to his senses, he almost hit the car in front of them. Lucas stared at what he was doing.
“Come on, let's change places.” Luna came out from behind the steering wheel to replace Lucas.
Lucas was silent and obeyed Luna's words obediently he almost killed them. "You want to kill us," Luna said angrily.
“You haven't been well since you met Hugo.” Luna decided not to take any chances. Seeing Lucas ' regretful face was enough for him to melt immediately.
“I'm just afraid that if you fail to take over your shares. You're gonna get bad business, I hear LH Tower has connections everywhere."Lucas' reply sounded drowned out.
Luna nodded. “You're right, we could have lost badly if we wanted to defeat the owner of LH Tower. I'm trying to find a way to get out while making you an excuse for stalling Hugo's job to disrupt my company.”
Luna's gaze is sharp and firm. The woman has a strong determination to reorganize his company may
be destroyed by his own family.” We can fight them soon, " Lucas added sounding confident.
“How?"Luna asked raising one eyebrow and glancing at Lucas who was sitting next to the steering wheel seat.
"You just need to find Odde Ace he is the real key, I
make sure I will reverse your position and avenge your father's actions who arbitrarily sold your shares and company without your knowledge.”"Odde Ace?"muttered Luna. The man who managed to make Lucas beg her to find that figure, Luna only knew if the man was a fairly influential person when he was still active as a lawyer.
“I don't promise that I will get the information you want soon, it might take a long time to find out where he is. But I'll do my best if what you're saying can help me regain ownership of the company."Luna finally wanted to promise something that made Lucas hear her smile.
There's a slight awkwardness about Lucas ' unusual request. Of course, Luna's question will soon be answered if she manages to find Odde's figure.
***
It's not easy for Luna to find Odde's figure. He only got information on Odde's whereabouts after waiting almost a month more.
When her cell phone rang loudly, even though her body had just touched the mattress in the early hours of the morning Luna had just gotten a bright spot for Odde's existence.
Luna clutched a letter tightly in her hand, her eyes full of hope. Next to him, Lucas sat in tension, looking far ahead, as if looking for answers to the questions that haunted his mind and where would they go?
The car they were both driving was on its way to the outskirts of the city.
Odde, a lawyer is sought after by Lucas in his quest to unravel a Lucas family mystery.It's been a month since Luna attempted to investigate Odde's whereabouts.
Of course, with the help of Luna, women who have unexpected connections manage to get information that is quite difficult to penetrate by the LH Tower, especially Patric Bullo.
As their car drove through the increasingly narrow streets, Lucas felt his heart pounding hard. He could not contain his feelings even during the confusion.
"Luna," he called, trying to ease his nervousness, " we will find her, won't we?"
Luna turned her head, a slight smile engraved on her face. "Of course, you think I have no trouble fulfilling this request of yours,” Luna replies amid their nervousness.
A moment later, their car stopped in front of a small house with a lush garden in front of it.
The house looks quiet, but it is clear from the outside that it has a garden that looks well maintained, the owner is a person who likes to enjoy the calm atmosphere and matches Odde who chose to retire from the realm of law.
The two of them got out of the car, and with cautious steps, they approached the door of the House. A light knock on the door made them wait in suspense.
The door opened, and there stood a middle-aged man with a warm smile on his face.
"Hello," said the man kindly. But his face was confused to find lovers in a remote area.
“Did your car break down?” asked the old figure looking for an answer to why these two couples knocked on his house.
"Hello," Luna replied, drawing Lucas closer.
"Are you Odde Ace?"Lucas asked enthusiastically, his voice trembling somewhat.
The man who allegedly was Odde turned to look at them sarcastically.
The man nodded, “Yes, what is it?” the question is thorough.
“I'm Lucas, I have something to tell you about my father's company. LH tower."Lucas said making Luna who heard him glare to the side.
His eyes were as if throwing a question that had to be answered immediately by Lucas. Luna is surprised to hear Lucas ' courage to admit that he is the son of the owner of LH Tower, while she only knows Hugo is the successor of the giant company.
“What is this, you mean?” Luna muttered, unable to catch Lucas.
It took a few minutes for Odde to observe his guests and then give way to them to enter his modest home.
They sit in a cozy living room, surrounded by well-kept furniture. It seems that Odde became a man who enjoyed his retirement during a career as a famous lawyer of his time.
"My name is Odde," the man said, greeting them again. "Can I help you?" he didn't look away from Lucas and didn't sound friendly either.
Lucas gulped, preparing himself to reveal the truth that had been hidden for so long. "I am... I am Lucas, "he said slowly," Lucas Capriccho, son of the late Harrelson Capriccho."He continued in a calm tone.
Odde looked at her with an expression mixed between surprise and bewilderment at the recognition from his guest.
Luna has been silent since listening to the interaction of the two men there, tense to feel the atmosphere in a closed room.
“What can you be sure of, if you are the son of Harrelson Capriccio? If you were his son, you should know that he never saw his family again.” his gaze grew sharp like a dagger ready to stab Lucas.

We’ll get through this together.”Odde watched Lucas leave, a faint smile on his face. “A young man with determination, what will he become when he has ambition,” Odde murmured in the empty room.Lucas pondered the day's events.

Lucas and Luna continued their efforts to gather evidence against Patric and Hudo. That evening, they sat in the living room, discussing their next steps."Luna, we already have a lot of evidence. But we need more witnesses," said Lucas."You're right, Lucas. I have some names we can contact. How about starting with former employees of LH Tower?" Luna suggested."That's a good idea. Who's on the list?" Lucas inquired."There are a few people. But the most important one is Jake. He used to be your father's personal assistant before being fired by Patric," Luna replied.Lucas nodded. "Alright, I'll contact Jake tomorrow morning. Hopefully, he'll be willing to help.""We also need to be careful. Patric and Hudo will surely try to stop us," Luna reminded."Of course. We need to move quickly and efficiently," Lucas added.***Elsewhere, Harry was talking to Bianca in their penthouse."Bianca, I've contacted some journalists.

Lucas, with his head held high and confidence radiating, stared at the tall floors of the hotel building. "Hah, so things like this do happen," he chuckled bitterly. He was back at the place where he had once scraped together money, only to be kicked out."Sir, please come in. We need to introduce you to the other staff members. From now on, you'll be managing the company," Joe said with a confident smile. Joe was an insider at LH Tower, part of the faction that opposed Hudo and Patric's leadership. He would be the one to assist Lucas."Thank you, Joe," Lucas replied politely."Hold on, I need to wait for my wife first," Lucas requested, reaching out for the hand of a beautiful woman who had just stepped out of a prestigious car.Luna took Lucas's hand, and together they gazed at the grand building, one of the most renowned hotels frequented by the wealthy elite.

Lucas let out a long sigh. "So, there's still a lot of money missing from our previous revenues," he said, his voice tinged with frustration.Joe rubbed his temples, his body weary. "True, we've fired some of the people siding with Hudo. But the problem persists; there are still leaks happening."Luna, looking drained, lifted her head. "We need to investigate further. There might be others aiding Hudo and his associates."Just yesterday, they were gung-ho about seeking justice for LH Tower. Indeed, the company's outward appearance remained stellar and triumphant. However, within, numerous issues were gnawing away.Lucas nodded. "Alright, we need to be more meticulous.

Lucas stood by the window in his study, staring blankly outside. His heart was filled with an anxiety that grew more consuming each day. For a week now, he had been receiving anonymous messages threatening him and watching his every move.

I should have left a clearer message.”“No, Luna. I should also apologize. I should have been easier to reach. We both can learn from this,” Lucas said, trying to soothe the situation.“I agree,” Luna said. “We need to communicate better. I don't want misunderstandings like this again.

He felt a bit guilty for making her worry. Quickly, he typed a short message to let her know that he had arrived safely and was okay.“Sorry, Joe. I should have informed you all earlier,” Lucas said as he put away his phone. “I really didn’t mean to make Luna worry.”Joe nodded, accepting the explanation though still with a hint of doubt. “I just don’t want to see Luna anxious. You know she cares about you a lot.”Lucas gave a thin smile. “Yeah, I know. I care about her too.
