Why was she back to the Edward family? Apparently, she had been gone for the past eight years, and out of the blue, she is back as if she didn't leave on her own accord.And everyone around the table weren't talking; everyone was just smiling, which made Luca even more pissed. His first twenty-four hours with her, and she had already tried to poison him. Staying under the same roof with her forever, who knows what else she has up her sleeve?Meanwhile, Sara was taken aback seeing her grandma at the same dining table with her. She would have thought her grandma was just here because of the birthday celebrations, but hearing that she was going to be here with them suddenly made her sick to her stomach."Grandpa, how is that possible?" She asked, her brows forming a deep line on her forehead. "I thought you two were divorced? What changed?"The entire table went silent; a different type of energy started to fill the room, and the atmosphere became electric with tension. They all gave her
"Come back here!" Grandpa commanded sternly. "This is a family thing and everyone must be present!"Ivy quickly intervened. "It's fine, you can let her go, Bruce.""No, Ivy, it's not fine!" he yelled. "I know this might come as a surprise, but she is taking it too far. This is my marriage, this is my life, and she has nothing to do with my decisions. She is just being a bitch for no reason!"Sara's anger was rising, but she gnashed her teeth tightly so she doesn't vent on either of them, as they were her grandparents, anyway.Grandpa suddenly dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out some papers. Everyone was surprised by what he was doing until he called out to Luca."Hey, Luca, come take this," he said, and Luca quickly walked over to take it. Once he did, he couldn't help but ask, "What is this, sir?""That is your ticket for the yacht. Since we're still in the evening of your wife's birthday, I am giving just the both of you the family yacht for the next twenty-four hours.
His plans for the day were to enjoy the day with Sara on the yacht, but now she has just ruined it all and left him stranded on the way. Whenever she smiled at him, he always thought she was already taking him in as her husband, but it seemed that would never happen. Even after giving her the best gifts on her birthday, she still doesn't seem to care about anything.Luca looked around and saw a bus stop right across where he had alighted. The day was too hot, and even Sara didn't care; she had just dropped him off, and he didn't have much money on him. He walked over to the bus stop and sat there to take a rest before thinking of where he was heading next. It's definitely not back to work; he doesn't have the zeal to do that now.As he sat there, an idea chimed into his head. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed Blue's number. He had actually forgotten that he had asked her to drive Larosa home last night when she got wasted.After the second ring, she picked up. "Hello, sir. Good
30 minutes later, Luca alighted from a cab and walked into the hotel which Blue had texted him. He walked straight to the reception. "Good morning, ladies..." he said politely.One of the ladies turned to him with a smile. "Good morning, sir. Please, how may we help you?""I need to meet someone in room 125," he informed them."Okay, just a minute..." the lady said, and turned back to the other ladies. She quickly checked to see who was in the room, and once she noticed that it was a woman, they both smiled before she turned back to address Luca."Okay, sir, please take that route," she pointed towards the elevator. "Then look at the number inscribed on the wall once you alight on the third floor."Luca simply nodded his head and went to the elevator, and in minutes, he was in front of room 125. With a soft knock, the door swung open. "Yeah, good morning. How may I..." Larosa's words hitched in her throat when she saw Luca.She held the door, her eyes fixed on his. It took her a while
At Apple's club. Sara stood still, contemplating who could have sneaked into her office without anyone noticing. The person must really be a genius, since her club was quite complicated and her office was the hardest to even locate, so how did the person succeed in getting in there without anyone knowing?"What do you mean you don't know?" Sara yelled. "Someone got into my fucking clubhouse and got into my office, and none of you saw the person go in?"She scoffed. "This must be some kind of joke, right!"The woman clasped both hands together in a plea. "I am sorry, madam. I can't tell you who he is or how he got inside this place.""I am sorry for my incompetence, madam. Please forgive me.""Forgive you?" Sara chuckled. "So if I had been inside that office and that intruder walked in and got me killed in there, how do y'all know that I have been killed inside there? Huh?"Her face flushed red in anger as she spoke. "Where the hell are the securities stationed at each hook and corner
At Europa hotels.It was around 10 am when Larosa pulled up into the hotel parking lot and parked her car. As Larosa and Luca stepped out of the car, the crisp morning air enveloped them, heavy with the scent of impending rain. The sky was a deep grey, with clouds that seemed to swirl and twist in every direction, and the air was cool.As they walked into the hotel office, the receptionist looked up from her desk, her eyes widening slightly as she took in Luca's imposing figure. He stood tall, his broad shoulders and chiseled features commanding attention. His dark eyes seemed to bore into her, and for a moment, she forgot to breathe, sensing the HR's presence. Apparently, she had been slacking off in her duties.The other staff members in the office couldn't help but stare either, their faces a mix of curiosity and wariness. Luca's reputation as a no-nonsense HR director preceded him, and they knew that he was not a man to be trifled with when it came to not doing your job.But as he
Blue quickly opened the door, only to see the receptionist and the delivery man standing in front of the door. The realization hit her like a lightning bolt. The receptionist had come to inform her boss that his order was downstairs, but Blue had gotten carried away with their playful banter to the extent that she was enjoying it. Deep down, she was rooting for them to become a couple."I'm sorry, ma'am, but he has been waiting downstairs and needed to leave for another delivery," the receptionist apologized.Blue responded, "Oh, I'm sorry too. I almost forgot he was downstairs." She rolled her eyes, trying to calm herself, and turned to Luca. "Sir, your delivery is here!" she announced."Good!" Luca exclaimed happily. "Please pass it inside. I need to eat and not drink to stupor like some deadbeats around the world."Knowing he intentionally jabbed at her, Larosa quickly snapped back, "I wasn't even drunk, right, Blue?"Blue turned and said, "No, ma'am, you were pretty drunk."Larosa
At Apple club. "Get my car ready, I will be going to my husband's hotel in the next five minutes," Sara commanded her bodyguard."But ma'am," he started, but was abruptly cut short. "Shift everywhere I am supposed to go till tomorrow. Do as I say and don't ever refuse my words!"The man bowed in a plea. "I am sorry, Madam," he said and quickly left to go get the car ready, just as she said.In the next ten minutes, he was done and walked back into the office where Sara was seated. "I am done, madam. Your car is ready!" He announced.Sara quickly grabbed her Birkin bag and made her way to the exquisite parking lot where her Audi Q8 was parked outside of her club. She settled into the car and let out a deep sigh. Her father's words kept recurring in her head, and she couldn't help it. He might really be saying the truth. Knowing George as a staunch business man who was very strict, she doesn't believe he was the one really funding Luca's luxurious lifestyle. Didn't he just buy a new se
