Luca stood in front of the mirror, admiring his reflection. He was wearing a sleek, limited-edition piece from Prada's latest collection. The outfit was a masterclass in understated elegance, perfectly accentuating his chiseled features and athletic build.The slim-fit shirt was a rich, dark blue, almost black, with a subtle sheen that caught the light. It hugged his torso, showcasing his broad shoulders and chest. The sleeves were long and narrow, accentuating his toned arms.The trousers were a matching dark blue, with a slight stretch that hugged his legs in all the right places. They were tailored to perfection, breaking just above his sleek black shoes.The overall effect was one of refined sophistication, as if Luca had just
Luca was taken aback, but he still bowed and greeted the woman, not just because of what she said, but also because she was much older than him, so he still needed to show her respect.The woman turned to Grandpa. "Come on, Bruce, are you now trying to erase my legacy and name from the family because we are divorced?" she accused him."What do you mean?" Grandpa snapped. "What legacy did you leave behind, other than divorce?""Did he just say 'divorce'?!" Luca's brows furrowed, creating deep lines on his face. She was recently divorced from Grandpa, which clearly stated that she was Sara's grandmother!Luca couldn't believe his ears. He really hadn't heard much about the woman before, since not everyone loved calling her name or associating with her, as she was too troublesome and nagging. Actually, what really happened in her marriage was this: She was a princess from Buckingham Palace
Luca stood gracefully at the same stand with the family. When the wine server passed him by, he took a cup of tequila and started to sip it gently. After one sip, he heaved a deep sigh of relief. The Edward family was really full of surprises - why the hell did nobody tell him they had a crazy grandmother?The corners of his lips twitched into a smile as he took another glance at her, but unfortunately, she was glaring at him, and their eyes locked. At the moment, Luca raised his wine glass up and winked at Ivy. However, she felt irritated; she wanted to curse him out so bad and make sure that the marriage doesn't work. She felt a deep stab of annoyance and quickly averted her gaze away from him.Luca did the same. His eyes wandered around the hall and finally fell on a woman; she had a mask on, and her curves were well accentuated in the kind of see-through dress she was wearing. Her blonde hair really complemented her outfit so much that Luca had to give her more glances. Actually,
Some minutes later, the party began. Almost everyone was drinking and partying hard.There were dancers dancing and savoring the moment.Soon, Alessia walked over to Luca. Right in front of her was a bartender with a tray of wine."Hey, Luca, have a glass of wine. This is purely for family," she informed him."Don't worry, it's fine! I'm not even done with the one I'm drinking," Luca tugged at the bottle of wine on his table.Alessia insisted, "You have to stop taking such cheap wines and take this one. All of our family are watching because this is a family wine. You must take it because you are part of the family!"Luca furrowed his brow. Just a minute ago, Avery was looking for another man for his wife, and now he is family, and they're forcing him to take wine... Something is just not adding up. This was really his dream coming to reality!…………Two days ago. 1:23am at his apartment on his bed! "Happy birthday, babe!" He smiled as he gave Sara a small kiss on her cheeks. "I
Walking into the inner room, Ivy asked sharply, "How did it go?"Alessia smiled proudly. "The dumb brat took it; he should be drinking it by now.""Or who knows, he might just be done with the wine - he is a glutton!"Ivy laughed.Meanwhile, Luca took the wine glass alongside with him as he went to the restroom. He had had a little too much wine already and had to go pee.Wine glass in hand, he walked into the restroom, pretending to pee, and just as it was in his fantasy world, he could hear four footsteps from afar. They continued to come closer and closer to the particular restroom he was in.Luca began to pour the liquor down the closet slowly, like it was his dick urinating. Slowly, he was observant, and the next minute, the door slid open."Boom!" He smashed the glass cup on the first figure who opened the door."Arghh, shit!" The man screamed in pain and fell to the ground. The man was reeling in pain; he covered his face as blood continued to drip down his hands.Luca walked o
His eyes were glued to the direction of the footsteps. Larosa, on the other hand, was equally curious and nervous at the same time. None of them has been opportuned to see any members of the shadowops; she would be the first one to see one of them today. She was also slightly excited.But when Luca saw the full figure, his eyes widened in shock, and his whole body went stiff.It was his father-in-law!What?! Is this even real? How can his father-in-law be one of the shadowops?The watch must have been malfunctioning. The man standing right in front of Luca wasn't just his father-in-law but also a business mogul and a General in the military. He had thought the shadowops were going to consist of maybe some trained thugs or some coordinated trained personnel.He never for once thought it would be his father-in-law being a part of the shadowops.The man stopped when he saw Luca standing side by side with Luca in the restroom hallway.His brows furrowed as he saw the four men writhing in
She couldn't believe it was him. He should be downstairs in the lobby where she had asked them to keep him. How did he make it out of there? Or has he not taken the wine yet? That was absolutely impossible! Meanwhile, Luca remained composed. He knew why she was stunned to see him. Did she really think trying to drug him would work? Well, thanks to his gift of seeing things before they happen, if not, he would have been a bucket of ridicule.They really pushed their buttons this time, and Luca just wanted it to slide.Selena quickly rushed and helped Alessia up. "Are you okay?" she asked, her face etched with concern.She was surprised that Alessia slipped, and she helped her dust off her dress. Meanwhile, Luca didn't care to help - he already knew why she slipped and fell, as she was just too shocked to see him.He left the ladies there and walked off.Selena quickly chased after him. "Hey, Luca, wait for me! Don't be an asshole!" she yelled as she ran after him.Meanwhile, Alessia
"So all of your big talk about being a husband, you can't even make sure to give your wife at least a Rolex watch on her thirtieth birthday. You're such a poor scum!" He remarked before marching out gracefully.The bickering between the three of them had already started to increase, and a lot of people were getting interested in it. Meanwhile, by mere looking at them, Avery already knew what it was. She had been standing by the side of Sara, so she knew which family members had come to gift her, and Luca wasn't part of them.As he stood there, she saw Robert coming and Selena right after him, but Luca was still seated, and his face was to the floor. She knew at once that he didn't bring any gift. "Good!" She mused, and she watched Robert being restless but trying his best to avoid eye contact with everyone. "Poor animal, thank you for making it easier to divorce your ass!" She was very happy he wasn't standing up to give Sara any gift. At least now, the whole family and close friends
