Luca smiled. "Of course I am your precious husband. Who else will I be?"Sara shook her head. "No, no, that's not who you are. Look at those eyes, I know sinister when I see one, so don't try to deceive me."For a moment, Sara's legs stopped shaking. She felt a stab of annoyance that knotted her stomach. The fact that Luca knew about Leo and how he died didn't sit well with her one bit.She groaned. "Luca, you killed Leo? Did you kill him? Tell me what happened to him, please, I am begging."Luca nodded. He walked over to her little bar and poured himself a drink. "I think this is going to be a long conversation, baby.""And you think you'll leave here unharmed when you're done? I can hit the emergency buttons, and they'll all come in here and shoot you dead!" She had a poker face full of confidence as she spoke.But surprisingly, Luca was still unfazed."Look, Sara. Not even the Edward family can 'unalive' me if they wished to. Just as I walked in here unharmed, so will I leave unhar
As Ken rushed inside, he was met with a sight that made his heart skip a beat. Sara was lying on the floor, her body shaking with fear and anger. He quickly rushed to her side, trying to help her up, but she snapped his hands off, her eyes blazing with fury."Y'all are so incompetent!" she spat, her voice venomous. "How in God's name did he get in here? How did he disable the emergency buttons? How did he get past security and all of you dullards? I fucking pay y'all for fucking nothing!" Ken took a step back, his hands raised in defense. "Ma'am, I don't know what happened. We had everything under control, I swear. What happened? Who are you talking about?" Sara's eyes narrowed, her face twisted in disgust. "Under control? Under control? You call this under control? He walked in here like he owned the place, and you didn't even notice! He was sitting on that chair when I came in here!" She sprang to her feet, her body trembling with rage. "I'm surrounded by idiots," she spat, her v
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

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

Luca sat at his table with Blue next to him as she explained the surge in revenue of the hotel and its clubs in the last few months.The soft glow of the hotel's lobby lights cast a warm ambiance as Luca listened intently to Blue's presentation. She clicked a remote, and a graph displaying the hotel's revenue appeared on the screen behind her."As you can see, sir, our revenue has increased by 25% in the last quarter," Blue explained, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "And if we break it down further, we can see that the clubs have been a major contributor to this surge. I just know Lord Ercole would be so proud of the tactics you have used in his investments and brought up the revenue."Luca nodded thoughtfully, his eyes scanning the graph. "That's impressive, Blue. I'm glad we could make a change."Blue smiled, confident in her analysis. "Well, I think it's a combination of factors. Our marketing strategy has been on point, and we've seen a significant increase in foot traffic. Ad

Sara's eyes widened in shock as Madam Ivy's words cut through her like a knife. She felt like she had been punched in the gut, her breath caught in her throat. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Madam Ivy's announcement was a clear attack on her, a way to discredit her and eliminate her from the running for CEO that was clearly her birthright. She had given her all to the company all her life.Sara was taken aback by the sudden attack from her Grandmother. If anything, Madam Ivy's enemy should be Jacob and not her.Her face turned red with rage as she tried to process what was happening. She couldn't believe that Madam Ivy would stoop so low, using her marriage status against her. She felt a surge of anger and humiliation, her eyes darting around the room to see if anyone else was reacting to Madam Ivy's cruel words, but everyone seemed fine with what she said.Luca, who was sitting next to her, shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He looked at everyone, and they looked like the
