CHAPTER 13.

GETTING ALONG.

The entire atmosphere fell into a hushed silence as Luca prepared to throw his axe.

Mirroring Giovanni's grip, Luca held the axe with both hands, almost as if he were mimicking Giovanni's technique. George's eyes widened slightly as he wondered if Luca was just learning it on the spot.

Gio glanced at Luca, noticing his grip and hesitation. "Throw that shit, boy!" he shouted.

Luca slowly released one hand from the axe, surprising Giovanni.

"What the hell is he trying to do?" George muttered skeptically.

Even George couldn't hide his astonishment as he rose from his chair. Did Luca truly believe this was some kind of ball throwing game?

If Luca didn't throw the axe with enough force, it would hit the board and simply bounce off, resulting in a score of zero.

"You must think this is some ball throwing game, man!" Giovanni laughed, still caught up in his amusement.

While Giovanni was still engulfed in laughter, Luca let go of the axe, and everyone's e

    After a few minutes, Luca arrived at Ventral Company. It was primarily a delivery company that partnered with other businesses. As Luca approached, he noticed around ten to fifteen delivery bikes parked outside. This made him wonder why his boss needed him for deliveries when he hadn't even paid him for the last two months.As he entered the premises, Luca's anger began to boil. His anger stems from two things;Firstly, he was supposed to be working with Giovanni and George, but his boss disrupted everything with a phone call. Secondly, his boss owed him two and a half months' worth of salary, and to make matters worse, he had recently cut his bonus after an argument with a customer.Luca's footsteps echoed through the space, interrupting the conversation his colleagues were having. It was evident that there were fewer clients for the day."Where's the boss?" he asked as soon as they noticed his presence.One of his colleagues pointed towards the office, and Luca quickly made his way t

    ARRESTED.Luca immediately turned his head, locking eyes with two policemen who had entered the room. He couldn't help but laugh. It was amusing to him that Mr. Duke had gone to the extent of calling the police when he was the one who should be considered the victim."That's him! Arrest him!" Duke yelled, pointing at Luca, urging the policemen to take action.The officers approached Luca and sternly said, "Put your hands up, sir."Luca didn't move. He remained silent, displaying a different demeanor. There was something about him that caught Duke off guard. Luca didn't flinch in the presence of the policemen, and this puzzled Duke. He couldn't understand why Luca was acting tough. The old Luca would have pleaded, knowing he wouldn't have enough money for bail. But now, Luca stood his ground and even refused to be handcuffed."May I know the reason for my arrest?" Luca asked, raising skeptical eyebrows."Officers, I told you to arrest him! He nearly strangled me to death because I dedu

    THE DINNER."We've been waiting for a straight fifteen minutes, and the person you called isn't here. I'm sorry, but Mister Luca, we will have to lock you up," one of the officers said to Luca."Don't worry, that won't be needed," Giovanni's voice boomed as he walked in.In fact, Giovanni was nearby when Luca called him, and he rushed to the station. It would be a failure on his part if his boss ended up being locked up.Luca's face lit up with a happy smile as he saw Giovanni.Meanwhile, Mister Duke trembled in fear. He had no idea that Luca knew someone as wealthy and ruthless as Giovanni. Everyone in the station knew Giovanni, and as he walked in, most of them bowed and greeted him, including Mister Duke."I'm sorry for not coming earlier," Giovanni apologized to Luca."That's fine!" Luca replied. "I have to leave now. Settle things with them and make sure that man is arrested."Giovanni's gaze fell upon the figure Luca had just pointed at, and he nodded in approval."I can drive y

    After the family finished their meal, Sara and Luca continued to exchange smiles, radiating the aura of an ideal couple.Sara was well aware of the effect she was having, deliberately trying to provoke Avery and Alessia, and she had succeeded. Every glance Avery directed at Luca felt like daggers.Grandpa cleared his throat. "It seems like you two are getting along so quickly," he said with a smile directed at Sara and Luca. "I think we should plan a beautiful white wedding for you both after the summer!""A white wedding?" Avery hissed. "Can he even afford it? And I mean a grand affair, not some modest celebration that suits his status."Luca smiled. He didn't know how to explain to his mother-in-law that he could organize the most extravagant wedding in the history of their family lineage. Revealing that would blow his cover, so he decided to ignore her instead.Besides, the last thing he wanted was to upset his in-laws, especially Avery, who had disliked him from the beginning.Ave

    Sara quickly handed the customized diamond armlet to Grandpa. "This is an exclusive piece from Harry Winston!"A smile appeared on Grandpa's lips. "Are you serious?" He eagerly opened the box and began to admire it as soon as he saw the jewelry designer's logo. It was indeed from Winston. Alessia couldn't hide her disgust as she witnessed Grandpa's admiration for the piece.Winston wasn't just any local designer, but an international one with a prestigious reputation spanning over fourty years.Grandpa looked up at Sara. "I thought he had retired. How were you able to convince him to create this for you, Sara?"Sara laughed. "Anything for you, Grandpa."The old man couldn't stop himself from admiring the diamond piece Sara had brought him. The fact that it came directly from Winston himself made it even more valuable in his eyes. Meanwhile, Alessia couldn't help but feel a surge of rage at how Grandpa praised Sara for what she considered a simple gesture.Luca walked over to where Gra

    . All heads turned towards her in surprise. Why did she have to halt the smooth process that was clearly going to prove that Luca had purchased the wine and not stolen it?The entire room fell into dead silence, and Sara hesitated to speak. "I don't trust Rose," she finally offered a feeble excuse.In reality, she was afraid that the wine might not be genuine. She had never bothered to verify it since it had always been brought to her, and moreover, it was connected to criminal activity, possibly unregistered and acquired through illicit means."What do you mean you don't trust your own blood sister, whom you grew up with?" Avery scoffed. "The only person you shouldn't trust is this thief who is sleeping next to us as your husband. Girl, he will steal your jewelry!"Rose's lips curved into a smirk as she turned to Sara. "Hey, sister, even if you don't trust me, it doesn't matter. I'm only trying to help." Her tone dripped with sarcastic sympathy."Help me?" Sara laughed. "Bitch, keep

    When they reached the room, Luca helped Sara to the bed and gently covered her with the sheets. He was really trying to play the caring husband role so well, if not for the fact that she is the black sheep of her family, at least for the fact that she is crippled. He dropped her and flashed her a smile, but instead, Sara glared at him with intense hostility. Luca quickly entered the bathroom and took his bath. After he was done, he moved on to the bed, but Sara quickly snapped, "What do you think you are doing?" He looked up at her skeptically. "I'm trying to sleep." "Here?" she laughed. "You must be sick to think I will let you share a bed with me!" "Then where do you want me to sleep?" Luca was shocked. So all the wifey things she was doing outside, there was just to piss off her mom and sister. Nothing more! Luca sighed deeply. He didn't know where else to go and quietly left the room, making sure to close the door behind him. He went to the other rooms that were empty, but th

    Well, it was Debby!A wave of shock washed over Luca as he saw Debby. She hadn't noticed him yet and was still engrossed in her computer.When she raised her head to see who they had assigned to her, her eyes widened in shock.It was as if she had seen a ghost, but she quickly composed herself. Of course, she saw herself as the bigger person, and Luca was just a loser who happened to be dating her friend months back.But wait, he was wearing the latest design of a Louis Vuitton suit and Prada shoes!"A loser doesn't wear something as expensive as that. The whole outfit is worth about $280,000!" she thought to herself.Did he win the lottery or something? Or maybe he rented the suit just to look good for the interview and deceive them. Well, she knew him too well and believed he deserved nothing more than a cleaner or driver position."Oh my god! Who do we have here in search of a job?" she teased, walking closer to him. She rose from her chair with an authoritative tone. "Where is you

The cool evening breeze grazed their skin, with different shadows lurking at every nook and corner, on standby in case anything happened.Luca joined Sara on the plush couch in the lawn. Narrowing his eyes, he looked around and saw he was surrounded by the people he loved the most. Sara sat beside him, cradling their newborn in her arms, while their son, Alessandro, picked up his building blocks from the floor, preparing to arrange them.Luca reached for his wife’s shoulders, pulling her close. “I’m so grateful for this—the family we have built together,” he admitted with a soft smile.Sara nodded, flashing him a smile in return. “Me too, baby.” She leaned in

You humiliated me in front of the people I mentored, thinking I’d just break. And while you were spending the company’s credit cards on designer clothes and club tables, I was strategizing how to take back what I built. Not with revenge… with resolve.” The tension in the boardroom had reached its peak, but the door opened once more and all heads turned. Luca stepped in, without saying a word, he walked straight to Sara. “You did it,” he whispered into he

You think it's about sitting and working all nights? Come on Sara that isn't it. There is is reason why your mother picked us three times head the company and not you.” “Yeah,” Ivy chimed. “You were all heart and hope and hard work. That doesn’t win in this world. We did what needed to be done and look where we are right now.” “You did what was convenient,” Sara corrected. “You didn’t remove me because I failed. You removed me because I didn’t let you cheat. Because I said no when you wanted to gamble on a legacy of luxury. In a family where things are working the right way you will never be allowed in a board room. That's an insult to other board members who I know worked their asses off for this” Rose snorted. “You think you’re the hero in this story? Please.

    CHAPTER Back at home, Sara began to recover. She didn’t know the full extent of what Luca was doing, but she could feel it, the way he worked in silence, how he moved with a purpose that made her believe maybe, just maybe, things weren’t over yet. She choose to believe that it wasn't over yet. Knowing Luca she knew it was just the calm before the storm. One night, Luca approached slowly with his hands tucked into his pockets, "Sara," he called gently. "I need to talk to you." She turned to him, "What is it, Luca? Is everything okay?" He took a breath. "I know what they did to you… how they humiliated you, took everything you worked for, and made you feel small in a company you helped build with your own hands." Sara’s face tightened. "Luca… you don’t have to bring that up. It’s done now. I’ve already accepted it." He shook his head. "No, you haven’t. And you shouldn’t have to." He pulled a brown envelope from his jacket and set it on the table between them. "Because it’s not ove

    CHAPTER 323 “They made a choice. Now I’ll make mine,” he said into her hair. “I’ll make sure they understand what it means to cross someone who had the kingdom in her palm… and threw her out for shiny puppets.” Sara leaned into him, the tension in her frame loosening slightly. “Just don’t do anything reckless,” she murmured. “Not for me.” He pulled back, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “I don’t do reckless things I take my time darling and I don't miss when I throw shots “ Luca held Sara for a long time that night, no words, just steady arms and a heartbeat she could trust. She buried her face in his chest and tears dried on her cheeks as the comfort of his presence settled into her bones. But while he whispered soft reassurances and held her close, his mind was already turning strategic as he thought of a way to make them pay for the pain that they were causing her. Everyone including the workers and passerby knew that Sara deserved everything they gave to her sisters.

    CHAPTER 322 The soft hum of Luca’s engine echoed down the long, paved driveway of his estate as the gates slowly closed behind him. The sleek black car came to a quiet stop near the entrance of their home and he parked in the drive way. Taking a deep brethe he stepped down from the car Inside, Sara had been awake, waiting for him. Luca stepped in and the door clicked shut behind him, and the silence stretched for a moment before he heard her footsteps from the hallway. Once she heard the click of the door that was evidence that Luca was home. She appeared barefoot in her silk robe with her arms crossed tightly as she stared blankly at him. “Luca…” Her voice cracked. “You’re late. I was worried as hell trying to wait up and also trying to get you on the phone” He walked toward her, reached out, and cupped her face gently. “I’m here now no need to worry anymore” But she didn’t smile. Her expression remained tight, she was not angry, but worn out, as if a thousand thoughts battled

Our money. Our phones. Our dignity.” “Who’s calling for help, huh?” Jaylen spun around to the others. “Anyone got a flare gun hidden up their—?! No? Didn’t think so.” There was no signal, no light, no road noise, just the soft rustle of trees and the occasional whisper of wind mocking their predicament. Then came the final straw. A loud argument erupted when someone suggested walking barefoot through the forested trail back toward the city. “Walk where?! Through the woods? You think we’ll make it without stepping on glass or thorns?!” “Oh, so what’s your idea then?

Black helmets came off slowly, revealing hard faces, stern eyes, scars like stories carved into flesh. Leather jackets that bore a mark, the emblem of a coiled serpent wrapped around a crown. The Shadow Ups. An elite and merciless unit. Ghosts of Luca’s power. Known only in whispers. Connor’s men backed away trembling, the sight alone enough to rattle the boldest of them. But the Shadow Ups didn’t even acknowledge them. Their eyes were only on one man. Luca.. He stood still, calm as ever with one hand in his pocket, the other holding his phone loosely. As their leader, Drax, stepped forward. “Orders, sir?” Drax asked. His voice was deep, calm, and deadly still. Luca didn’t look at him right away. He looked at Connor instead. Connor, who moments ago had been spitting rage and now looked like a king stripped of his crown. His confidence wilted. His mouth worked silently. Luc
