Giovanni's residence. A knock sounded outside, and the door slowly opened to reveal his head chef. “Good morning, sir,” she greeted politely. “Sir, you have a call from the boys.” Giovanni raised his head and sighed. “Why are they calling me this early? What happened? Can't I just catch a break from those silly boys?” The chef smirked as she moved forward to pass the phone to him. Once she did, she took a few steps away so she wouldn't eavesdrop on her boss's conversation. Giovanni took the phone and said nonchalantly, “What the hell are y'all calling me for now? What is it this early in the morning?” From the other end, one of the boys hesitated before speaking up. “Sir, sir, boss, we have a problem…” His voice was shaky and breaking. Gio quickly sat up from his seat; he hadn't heard his boys sound that way, so he concluded it must be something very important. “What is it? Talk to me! What the hell is making your voice sound this way?” he yelled angrily as the boy stuttered a
Sara sat in her office. She was sitting on the couch in front of a scattered wad of cash. For the past six hours, she had been recounting all of her money to be sure those who broke into her office yesterday didn't leave with any of it. Her eyes were fixed on the cash as she piled it up together. Each one she piled up, she passed it down to Ken, who was using the counting machine to count the money.The door suddenly opened, and an ebony, tall, muscular man walked inside. He had an envelope with him as he walked in."Madam!" His deep voice rang out in the solitude of the place. "I have news for you," he announced.Sara didn't lose focus on the money she was counting. She asked, "What is it, Williams?"Williams walked forward and placed the file he was holding on top of the wad of scattered cash she was still counting."What is this, Williams?" She turned around and looked at him. "What is this all about?"His lips curled into a smile. "Why not you just check it out yourself? It's righ
CHAPTER 236.Fatherly talk.Her dad slowly joined her on the couch, his face etched with concern. “What do you mean Luca is missing? Isn't the wedding supposed to be in less than 48 hours?”Sara's eyes started to grow wet; she wiped them away and answered, “Yes, sir. He has been missing for two days now. I didn't want to bother you with it, but the wedding date is drawing near.”Her dad scoffed, trying to understand what his daughter was trying to say. “If he is missing, then why is the wedding still being held? How do you plan to do it, Sara?”“I just don't know!” she cried out. “I don't know, Dad, and I'm pregnant with him! I need to get married, or Grandma will pull me out of vying to be the CEO of the empire.”Her father moved to hug her, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the sketch on the paper. He stopped and took the paper from her. “What is this?”Sara breathed in. “I don't know; I was just trying to sketch out the men who came to me when I was at the hospital earlier today. The
At the Edward family mansion..Back at the Edward family house, it was exactly 6:56 pm when Luca joined the ongoing dinner table in the dining room. Everyone was present, with Jacob and his mother inclusive. It was just one person missing that everyone was waiting for.A couple of minutes later, the door swung open and about three maids helped Madam Ivy to the dining table. One of the maids wrapped her hands around Madam Ivy's waist, and the other one had her hands over her shoulders as a wedge. They pulled the chair out and helped her to settle down into it. Meanwhile, as they helped her slowly to the chair, Luca, who had seen her current condition, couldn't help but stifle his laughter, but then it was too late, and his smirk caught everyone's attention except Grandpa, who had his head downwards.Once Sara noticed the smirk on his face, it flashed back into her memory... he has another family! Her face paled up immediately, and she clenched her hands, crumpling her dress under the t
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 have to consider every
CHAPTER. 195. Stefano is back! Edmund is back! Some hours later, Larosa escorted Luca out of her house. She walked him over to the garage where Vlad had parked his car before leaving. As she walked him out, she couldn't stop smiling and living in the moment. This is the kind of affection she had always wanted from him. All through the night, they drank together, ate together, and she slept on his lap. He had to carry her into her room before going to the guest room to sleep. And even this morning, she still has the privilege to have breakfast with him.When Luca reached where his car was parked, he turned to her, a sincere smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Have a nice day, Rosa. I will catch up with you later."Larosa smiled and waved at him as she watched him zoom off until she couldn't see the fumes of his car anymore. Then she went back into her house.As Luca drove, he thought of calling his boys to be sure they did a great job yesterday after Larosa ruined his mission t
With that, Edmund laughed and made his way out as quickly as possible. Upon reaching outside the house, Carlos and Rossi were already waiting for him. They quickly ushered him into the car and drove him away. Apparently, they had set the bomb to explode in the next few seconds, so they needed to move their boss as soon as possible. ……… 48 hours later. At Edmund's residence. Edmund sat with Stefano as they filled their cups with drinks. The air was quite celebratory since they had just killed their enemy, who was going to stand in the way of their running the mafia world. “He really is his father's son. He was quite fearless even after he saw Carlos and Rossi,” Edmund opined. “Are you serious?” Stefano dropped his cup on the table. “Well, look where his fearlessness has taken him.” Stefano chuckled. “Yes, fearless but foolish. He thought he could take on the likes of us and win. His father was the same way, always thinking he was above the game. Now look where it took him.” Edm
