At the main Edward family house. More than 30 hours have passed and Bruce still hasn't called for a family meeting to address all that was said at the villa in Amsterdam. The truth was this: he wanted to address it and tell everyone the truth about his relationship with Olivia. It all started years back after he had a one-night stand with her to finalize a deal in Asia. But after that night, she came back saying she was pregnant.Initially, he didn't want to take her in, but after going for a test and his doctor revealing the probability that it might be a boy, he decided to keep it since all he had with Madam Ivy was just Avery. He opted for her to come into the Edward family as a maid just so he could watch his son grow, but unfortunately, Madam Ivy caught them and threw her out. But even after that, Bruce made sure Olivia was living like a queen and that Jacob had full access to his father's wealth, despite not being part of the Edward family or living in the same place as them.H
About twenty minutes earlier, Sara sat in her car, her mind filling with thoughts that Jacob was now her uncle. She couldn't yet piece together the puzzle and fully accept that he was her uncle, but from the ten-scenario situation, it was clear that he was there to stay. Since everyone had come back from the house, they had been in their rooms, but she opted to go around and get some fresh air rather than getting herself stuck at home. She stretched out her hand to her driver, and he quickly poured her another shot of drink. Though he poured it slowly and cautiously, he wanted to not pour out any at all, but he knew better than to disturb his boss. He watched her drink the shot and dropped the cup in front of her. He then asked, "Do you care to share your burdens, ma'am?" Sara's lips pulsed, and she slowly turned to him before her smile widened. "Didn't they always say a problem shared is a problem solved?" She burst out laughing, like she was running mad. "But in my case, if I s
When Larosa reached inside, the music was pulsating, and the crowd was alive with energy. Larosa made her way through the throng, her outfit drawing admiring glances from all around. She knew she was turning heads, and she reveled in the attention that she was getting - besides, she was Larosa!She walked over to the security and quickly opted for a VIP room. On her way up the stairs, she met Dante. Once he laid his eyes on her, he stopped in his steps. "Miss?" He slowly wrapped his hands around her waist, trying to catch her attention, and he got it.Once she noticed the cold arm wrapping around her waist, she turned only to see him.His eyes crinkled at both corners as he spoke, "Are you back? Welcome back!"He turned to the security and instructed, "Y'all can go, I will take her from here."Larosa couldn't help but smile; he really thought she was coming for him again tonight, but he was totally wrong. Well, Larosa, on the other hand, don't really blame him. The last time they met,
****30 minutes Earlier****After Luca got the call from his boys, he quickly changed his outfit. He wore a black t-shirt and matching joggers before stepping out. When he came out of the house, there was no one in the living room, which made it easier for him to reach the garage and drive his car out.After a few minutes, he was some meters away from the Apple Club where the boys had told him to stop. He pulled up to the side of the road and parked his car. The first boy, whose name is Vlad, nudged his friend. "The Boss is here!"The other two, Milo and Karo, turned around to confirm. "That was pretty fast!" Karo remarked. "He really drove so fast."The three boys walked up to Luca's car. Vlad entered the front seat, and the other two took the back seats.Luca wound up his windows. "Where did you drop your cars?" he inquired.The three boys exchanged surprised glances. In truth, each of them had bought a car some weeks back using their black cards, but they were surprised that Luca al
***15 minutes Earlier.***At Apple's club. "Take it easy with the door," Ken teased before rushing to call Sara.He quickly took the stairs and within a few seconds, he got to the strippers' dressing room where Sara was addressing the dancers.He had to wait for a few minutes for her to be done, and once she was done, he quickly walked up to her. "Madam?" he called out. "Someone is waiting for you in your office."Sara turned to him. "And who is that?" she asked curiously.Ken stuttered, "I-I don't know, madam. She didn't say. But she seemed... urgent and serious about business. And to add, she is rich!""Who is this bitch that is rich and I don't know?" Sara blinked her eyes. "I know every rich bitch in this city, so I doubt she is really rich as you claimed she is."Sara raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "And did you say urgent? What do you mean? I barely even knew her, and here she comes needing urgent business?"Ken hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "She seemed...de
CHAPTER 193.Tense Argument.About 20 minutes later, Luca stood in the middle of Larosa's huge living room. His expression was grim, and his stomach twisted in annoyance at what had just happened a few minutes ago. The last thing he expected was to meet Larosa at the club!"How did she know about Sara?" He asked himself. "Does that mean other elders know about her too?"He shook his head in disapproval of his thoughts. "That can't be. If they did, they would have had her club raided or burnt down for trying to trail me!"Luca's eyes scanned the room, his mind racing with thoughts and questions. He couldn't believe that Larosa had shown up at the club, and that she knew about Sara. It was a coincidence that he couldn't ignore and wanted to talk to her about, but Larosa had ignorantly stayed back, all in the name of undressing herself.He paced back and forth across the room, trying to make sense of it all. How did Larosa know about Sara? Was she following her? And what did she want? Who
At Apple's club.About forty minutes later, Sara was seated in her office, her mind racing with thoughts about who had come into her office and was able to escape out of her club.Her door slammed open and three men made their way inside."What happened?" She asked sharply. "Did you catch up with the men? Who are they?"One of the men responded, "I'm sorry, madam. We couldn't catch up with them. It was a man and a woman. They had a car waiting for them outside, and once they got there, they zoomed off!""What do you mean?" She yelled disappointedly. "You guys were here, and someone broke into my club and made their way to my office, and still succeeded in going out? Is that what you're trying to tell me?"The three men bowed their heads, trying to apologize, but Sara's voice went on."How could you let this happen? You're supposed to be my security team, and yet someone was able to just waltz in here and steal from me? What kind of incompetence is this?"The three men looked at each o
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 to surprise Sara, since he was equally tired of a
