At the Edward Residence.

“48 hours to go, and the groom is still nowhere to be found. He didn't go to check his fittings yesterday; that's surprising, isn't it?” Jacob brought it up again while everyone was eating.

“Isn't he trying to run away from the wedding while Sara keeps hiding it?”

Sara gulped before replying. “Jacob, mind your business. I'd appreciate it if you would just stop looking into my marriage.” She paused and rolled her eyes. “Why don't you go find yourself a wife?”

Jacob raised an eyebrow, a sly smile spreading across his face. “Oh, I'm just looking out for you, dear sister. You know I only want what's best for you. And if that means pointing out that your fiancé is clearly getting cold feet, then so be it.”

Sara's face reddened with annoyance. She wasn't a fool; she knew he was deliberately picking on her to get her family involved. “Jacob,” she called out, “I told you to mind your own business! You have no idea what's going on between Luca and me. So just

    Her dad slowly joined her on the couch, his face etched with concern. “What do you mean Luca is missing? Isn't the wedding supposed to be in less than 48 hours?” Sara's eyes started to grow wet; she wiped them away and answered, “Yes, sir. He has been missing for two days now. I didn't want to bother you with it, but the wedding date is drawing near.” Her dad scoffed, trying to understand what his daughter was trying to say. “If he is missing, then why is the wedding still being held? How do you plan to do it, Sara?” “I just don't know!” she cried out. “I don't know, Dad, and I'm pregnant with him! I need to get married, or Grandma will pull me out of vying to be the CEO of the empire.” Her father moved to hug her, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the sketch on the paper. He stopped and took the paper from her. “What is this?” Sara breathed in. “I don't know; I was just trying to sketch out the men who came to me when I was at the hospital earlier today. They were sent by Luca.”

    "What?" Sara gasped, her eyes wide with shock as she tried to digest what she had just heard. "That can't be true, right, Dad?" She moved closer and asked her father, "How can Luca be Lord Ercole?" "I'm not sure! I'm trying to piece everything together. If he isn't Ercole, then he is very close to him! Those men who came to you are the Shadow Ops, and they can't run petty errands like sending invitation cards," he explained. Sara sat back in her chair, leaning against the back as her mind raced with different thoughts. …….. At Larosa's residence. The following day, Larosa walked out of her living room only to find Fabio placing dishes on the dining table. She slowly wiped her eyes, trying to clear the sleep from them. She couldn't believe Fabio was wearing an apron and making breakfast for both of them. She had agreed that he could stay in her mansion until they were able to find Luca. She even went so far as to give him a flat in her mansion for himself and his men, while also

    At Giovanni's residence. A knock sounded outside, and the door slowly opened to reveal his head chef. “Good morning, sir,” she greeted politely. “Sir, you have a call from the boys.” Giovanni raised his head and sighed. “Why are they calling me this early? What happened? Can't I just catch a break from those silly boys?” The chef smirked as she moved forward to pass the phone to him. Once she did, she took a few steps away so she wouldn't eavesdrop on her boss's conversation. Giovanni took the phone and said nonchalantly, “What the hell are y'all calling me for now? What is it this early in the morning?” From the other end, one of the boys hesitated before speaking up. “Sir, sir, boss, we have a problem…” His voice was shaky and breaking. Gio quickly sat up from his seat; he hadn't heard his boys sound that way, so he concluded it must be something very important. “What is it? Talk to me! What the hell is making your voice sound this way?” he yelled angrily as the boy stuttered

    Nearly three hours later, all the elders started to troop inside the venue for their quick meetings before they returned to their daily activities. Larosa sat inside her car with Fabio. They had received the information a few hours ago, but seeing that neither George nor Giovanni was there yet, they decided to wait for them before going inside. A few minutes later, George and Giovanni drove in and parked their car right next to Larosa's. Once they all exited their cars, Larosa walked up to Giovanni and raised her gaze to him. “I saw your club when I was going to my warehouse. I hope you're okay?” Gio sighed. “What can I say? I will be good. You don't have to worry!” With that, they all made their way inside, but surprisingly, Edmund wasn't there yet. Meanwhile, Edmund and Stefano were still at Edmund's residence while the elders were arriving in numbers. Edmund buttoned up his clothes, his face brimming with smiles. “Did you say all the elders are present? I mean all of them? No

    In the Edward family Residence. 7:37pm.. Sara was seated at the dining table with other family members. It was only twenty-four hours before her wedding, and the groom was still not found. She picked at her food bit by bit; deep down, she didn't really have an appetite to eat, but missing a meal would only show how bothered she was about Luca not being there. Jacob and the others took turns glancing at her, each of them noticing how pale her face looked while she ate and how she could barely swallow the food. Jacob suddenly cleared his throat and said, “We can cancel the wedding and stop hoping if you want to.” Sara raised her gaze and forced a smile. “Well, thank you for the suggestion, but I’m not interested.” Jacob's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at Sara, his expression a mixture of concern and subtle mockery. “Oh, come on, Sara,” he said, his voice dripping with false sympathy. “Don’t be stubborn. It’s clear that Luca’s not interested in showing up. You're just embarras

    “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 going to tell you abo

    CHAPTER The guard kept coming closer and closer. I slowly closed my eyes, and she ordered them to stop.“Taylor, do you have anything to say to me just yet?”I raised my gaze to her and smiled. “Well, Mom, I have nothing to say to you, but you need to know that tormenting me this way, you're only burning bridges!”She burst out laughing. “Burning bridges? Burning bridges by dealing with you? You keep elevating yourself, and it baffles me sometimes!”I looked at her face; she was slightly confused and shocked at the same time. I knew instantly that this was the time—she either gets into my head, or I get into hers!I smiled sweetly, my eyes locked on hers. “Oh, Mother, you're so predictable. You think you're the only one who can play games? I've been playing this game since I was a child, and I've gotten quite good at it. If you make me feel pain, you have burned down a bridge that has been shielding you for two decades now.”I leaned forward, my voice taking on a conspiratorial tone.

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!
