The following morning, Luca arrived at his office at Europa Hotels. Once he walked out of the elevator, he met Blue, who quickly rushed to him.
"Sir, good morning. How was your night?" She asked.Luca hesitated before he replied. "I'm good, Blue. What is the problem? Why are you acting this way?"Blue looked around before she responded. "I think you have some little emergency in your office."Luca fixed his gaze on her, trying to understand what she was trying to say. "Emergency?" He repeated. "What kind of emergency, Blue?""I don't know, but some men are in your office now, and they wouldn't even let me get in," She explained.Luca was taken aback, but he remained composed. "What are you talking about, Blue? How did they get in there, and who the hell are they?"Blue's eyes darted around the lobby, her voice barely above a whisper. "I don't know, sir. They just showed up and took over your office. They're wearing blackCHAPTER.208. I'm lord Ercole! Luca furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you mean by that?"Giovanni heaved a deep sigh, he stood up and walked closer to Luca. "Look, boss," he started. "The table consists of twelve elders. If you can get at least six to be on your side, then trust me, you're good to go for now. You have four of us here, so you'll be needing just two more people, and then you're good."Luca nodded. "Okay, that's fine. So which other elders do I need to meet up with before the next 48 hours?"The trio exchanged glances before Fabio finally spoke up. "I can help you meet Moffi!""Who the hell is Moffi?" Luca questioned."He is one of the elders of the table and lives very far away," Fabio explained."Far away? Like how far?" Luca questioned."As far away as Africa!" He responded. "I know that might be very far within such a small timeframe, but I'd advise you to see Moffi to show him that you're still alive."Luca breathed in and walked back. He sat back on the couch
A few hours later, Luca was done with work and quickly checked it from the hotel. He quickly made his way home, knowing that he was already running late for the family dinner. He revved his engine to life and hit the roads immediately.A few minutes later, his phone began to ring and when he looked, it was Evelyn. He picked it up immediately. "Hey, hey, how are you doing?" He said in a low but calm voice while he kept driving."I'm good. How are you too, Mr. Luca?" Evelyn asked from the other end."Of course I'm good. How are the kids? How are they doing now?""They're doing fine, they're fast asleep now and they have been bugging me about you for a few days now. They wouldn't let me rest if they didn't see you, you know how they can be, right?"Luca's face beamed with smiles. "Don't worry, Evelyn. I will stop by tomorrow and take them for a picnic.""Sure," she replied. "That would be really good. I'm sure they'd be very excited to hear this one."With that, Luca ended the call and f
CHAPTER 210. Two steps ahead. Gasps ripped through the dining hall, as everyone leaned in with wide eyes, curious to hear what Sara had to say.Her sisters were equally stunned by her sudden act. Just when they thought she was out of the picture, here she is again, showing them why she will always be smarter than them.Sara walked and stopped at the back of Grandpa's chair. She leaned in and put her hands on the arm. "You all can see I'm not crippled, right? Good! Now I would love to announce that 3 weeks from today will be me and Luca's wedding!"The room exploded into chaos, with gasps, whispers, and shocked exclamations filling the air. Madam Ivy's face turned beet red with rage, while Avery and the others looked like they had been slapped and had their breath knocked out of them.Jacob clenched his fists tightly and muttered, "This bitch will always have a plot twist!"Grandpa, however, was beaming with joy, his eyes shining with happy tears. "Oh, Sara, my child! This is wonderfu
The whole place was silent, and the only thing that could be heard was the pounding of Sara's chest as she sat there, pretending to be engrossed in her phone, but deep down, she prayed that Luca would leave the room this moment. What he had displayed just the previous night at the club still had her in a choke-hold, and all that she had just said out there about their marriage was something she hadn't discussed with him.However, even outside, when she had spoken, she had expected Luca to interject or ask her if all she was saying was true, but he didn't, and now, he was sitting on the bed, undressing himself and giving her the cold attitude.Sara stood up from the bed and moved to her drawer. She drew it out cautiously and took out a document in a brown envelope. She held onto it for a few seconds, not knowing how Luca would react if she gave him the pregnancy tests. She had been holding onto it for the past five days, still contemplating whether she should keep the child or abort it
At exactly six o'clock in the evening, Larosa and Fabio pulled into the venue where Edmund had texted all the elders to come by.Larosa parked her white Audi Q8 right next to Fabio's grey jeep. After a couple of minutes, the both of them exited their cars with their men right behind them."Hey, Rosa?" Fabio walked up to her with an adorable smile. "How was your night?"Larosa responded, "It was good, and Fabio, you look very, very good in that outfit."Fabio's cheeks turned beet red. He replied, "Oh, thank you for that. You look breathtaking too, Rosa."As they were still talking, a limousine pulled into the place and parked. Everyone fixed their eyes on the car and watched it open, only for George and Giovanni to exit from it. They were both wearing a shiny golden suit that complemented their looks so well.The two men walked up to Larosa and Fabio. They quickly exchanged pleasantries before heading inside the hall that was heavily guarded by armed guards.George stopped halfway. He
"And who are you people?" Edmund asked angrily. "Who the hell gave you guys entry into this hall?!"The first man took off his sunglasses and fixed them back into his pocket. He turned to everyone at the table, and none of them recognized him."Gentlemen, I would love for y'all to be seated. I have a message from someone y'all would love to talk to."Edmund burst out laughing. "You're drunk, right?" he said. "Who the hell are the three of you, and why did you come in here? Who the hell even allowed you three here in the first place..huh?"The man grinned. "We didn't come here for violence, Edmund. We came here on strict orders from the boss, so I'd advise you to sit down so I can address the table."Edmund's face turned red with rage. "Who is this boss you're talking about? You think you can just waltz in here and start giving orders? I'm the one in charge here, not some mysterious boss that I don't know about."The man smiled again, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, I think you'
At the Europa hotels and suites. Luca's eyes widened in shock when his cousin opposed him. He stood up from the bed and walked up to the window while listening to all that Edmund had to say. In truth, he expected him to oppose him despite the shadow ops standing right there.Edmund wasn't one to be scared of the shadow ops. He had seen them a couple of times come out and do their job to keep the former Boss safe. He had been trying to get to know who was the head of the organization so he could buy him, but that looked even more impossible since they can't be summoned unless they come to you.Edmund sneered, "You think because you have the shadow ops by your side, you can do anything you want to do?"Luca's voice remained calm and collected, but with a hint of amusement. "Oh, Edmund, I see you're still as arrogant as ever. But let me tell you, I'm not here to play games. I'm here to take back what's mine, and I won't let anyone stand in my w
The hall fell silent and everyone fixed their eyes on those whose names were mentioned. Each of them had a surprised expression on their faces.Drew picked up his phone and walked out of the hall with his men trailing right after him, leaving the elders to wallow in curiosity.The next few minutes, everyone was still pondering on what had really happened. George pushed his chair backwards and stood up with Giovanni and others doing the same, forcing their way out of the hall when Edmund stopped them."Hey, Rosa?" His voice was somewhat sweet this time. "Tell him I want to see him tomorrow at 5 pm in the same house where you lost your toy twelve years ago!"Larosa's eyes widened in shock as she turned to face Edmund. "How did you...?" she started to say, her voice trembling. She couldn't believe he knew such details about her.Edmund smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I know everything, Rosa. I know all about your little secrets an
