CHAPTER 233.He is back! “Where have you been?” she asked, holding him tightly. Her eyes sparkled with unadulterated happiness as she embraced him.Luca smiled. “I’m sorry; I should have told you before leaving.” He kissed her forehead.“How is everything going for the wedding?” She frowned. “You asked them to take care of it all, so I don’t know what they have done and what they haven’t.”Luca nodded. “I almost forgot I did. So how have you been since I left?” She rolled her eyes. “Please don’t ask. I thought you…”“Run away because I can’t afford it, right?” He laughed. “Ah, my lovely bride-to-be,” Luca said, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “I see you’re still as organized as ever. Or should I say, as unorganized?” He chuckled, teasing her gently.Sara playfully hit him on the arm. “Hey, I’m just trying to enjoy the ride. You’re the one who wanted to take care of all the details while being invincible!”“Yes, well, I may have taken care of the details, but I didn’t say I was goi

CHAPTER.Washington DC….This is your stop! I heaved a deep sigh of relief as the plane landed at the airport. I was back to all that I hated being around. I hated the city and the game being played, but not the people.It had been weeks since Vlad left me in Italy. I just hoped his mother was fine and recovering well enough.In the past weeks, I called him, and he said that the surgery was a success, but he still needed to stay with her for the time being. He assured me that he would be back in the next two days, and I didn’t tell him I was back in Washington, D.C. either. I wanted to surprise him and stay at his house, which was just a few steps away from mine.After a long ride, the car finally pulled up on the street, and the driver helped me take my luggage into Vlad's hallway.“Thank you, sir,” I said gratefully as I made my way to his door.As I stood in front of Vlad's door, I couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. I was finally going to surprise him, and I couldn't wa
The next minute, the young lady who appeared to be in her early twenties was a stunning beauty. She had long, curly brown hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Her bright eyes sparkled with confidence and poise, and her flawless skin radiated a warm, golden glow. She stood tall, with a graceful posture that commanded attention, and her slender yet curvy figure was accentuated by a fitted white dress that hugged her body in all the right places as she strolled down the stairs. As she approached, Dorothy's expression turned smug, and she nodded in the lady's direction. “Ah, here comes her,” she said. “How have you been doing?” The young lady, whose name tag read “Sophia,” smiled warmly as she approached Madam Dorothy and the receptionist. “Hi there,” she said, her voice friendly and welcoming. “I'm Sophia, the manager. How can I assist you today, Mrs. Dorothy?” “Thank you for coming down here; I really appreciate it. But I have a complaint to make,” she began, her e

CHAPTER 30.Leon hesitated, unsure of how to respond. "Well, I... uh... I did offer, yes."Ivy's smile widened. "Yes, he did! And I would love to join him. Wouldn't that be lovely, Hailey?” She said, trying to get under her skin.” You can tidy up the office while I’m gone." Hailey's expression darkened, her eyes flashing with anger. She wanted to confront Leon—after all, she had ordered lunch for them both, and here he was, going out with his ex-girlfriend.Forcing a smile, she replied, "Okay, that’s fine. I’ll see you both later." Ivy's laughter sliced through the tension like a knife. "Oh, come on, Hailey. Don’t be like that. Leon and I have a lot to discuss... about the launch, of course." She paused deliberately, gauging Hailey's reaction, and it was exactly what she wanted.Leon met Hailey's gaze, a silent apology passing between them. But Ivy's grip on his arm was relentless, pulling him toward the door. "Shall we, Leon? I'm famished. Let’s take your car please” She said in a
