The men were surprised by what they were seeing. Did she really want to buy the whole place? Does she really not know what a whopping 15 million dollars is? The men glanced at each other before bursting out into a loud roar of laughter."What did this crippled bitch just say?" Mr. B couldn't stop laughing. "Is she really serious? She really thinks she can buy my restaurant?"She must think we're talking about some fifteen thousand dollars over here!The room erupted into another roar of laughter, and this time it was even louder. Meanwhile, Luca's expression turned crimson almost immediately upon hearing the men mocking his wife for being crippled. In reality, Sara was more than capable of buying the restaurant without flinching. Well, Mr. B was a staunch businessman, and he didn't know her in person even if he had heard of their family a couple of times."Hey, miss handicap, did you say you can buy my restaurant for fifteen million dollars?" Mr. B fixed his gaze on Sara as he asked.
Mr B dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone. He then said, "What the hell are you saying? The network is already good - you're just trying to find an excuse because you clearly don't have the money!"The buyer laughed, "I just know that he is a yes-man! He really is the girlfriend in their relationship!"Luca felt like he had been stabbed with daggers in his chest. Did they really just call him a "pick-me" man? He gnashed his teeth in anguish while waiting for his app to load. And in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...it began to load, and he quickly opened the app. If there was anything he wanted right now, it was for the app to open so he could do the transfers.He quickly input their account numbers and began to make the transfers.Meanwhile, Mr. B was tired of waiting for Luca to prove himself. With all the time he was wasting, it was clear that he didn't have the money he had just mentioned. He forced himself to stand up from the chair, using his walking stick as a support. He wa
About 30 minutes later, Luca was out of the Edward family house and he quickly drove his car out of the compound. It was just 1:47 pm, and he still needed time to go to work - it was too early to go back home to rest. He had dropped Sara off and put her to sleep before he came out. Walking out of the house, he just couldn't stop smiling, seeing how Sara had been treating him for the past few hours. It felt like a whole week, when it was just a few hours of her being nice. His dream of having a loving family was really coming to reality, even if they started off awkwardly.He revved his engine to life and drove out of the compound. He needed to reach the hotel and finish up what he had left, so he could come back to his wife. Knowing he was coming back to a very different person made him even more excited to return home.As Luca drove away from the Edward family house, he couldn't help but feel a sense of elation wash over him. The smile on his face seemed to be permanently etched, and
When the men walked past luca, he was able to see the pistol that was dangling in his hand. Now that he saw that the club belonged to the men, he quickly contemplated in his head and needed no one to tell him what was about to happen once the men got hold of the drunkards. he quickly looked around and slipped the receipt into his pocket as he walked out. The men were equally foolish to come to Stefano's club, Luca thought to himself, "They rather praised him." As he reached the door, he quickly tapped the button and made his way out of the place. He looked left and right, but there was no one. They couldn't have gone far, would they.It was barely five minutes since they all left the club, so how could they be nowhere in sight? Luca's brows furrowed in disbelief as he walked to the middle of the road. Thankfully, there weren't any vehicles at the moment, and he couldn't find anyone moving away either. He quickly took a walk forward, determined to see where the men were taken
Luca pulled into the Edward family mansion and parked his car right in the garage. He sighed when he noticed he had arrived home very late. It was 11:46 pm when he locked his car and made his way inside.As he walked in, all he prayed for was for Avery and her mother-in-law to be fast asleep so he could slip into the room without being noticed. He wasn't just tired, but also exhausted, and he didn't have the strength for their regular banter, not after he had expended his energy dealing with Stefano's men.He stopped at the living room door and slowly input the password. The door slowly slid open, and he heaved a deep sigh of relief when he didn't see anyone in the sitting room. He just hoped his prayers were valid so he could just go to sleep. He turned around and closed the door, then continued to make his way inside.Taking the stairs and reaching the next living room, his breath hitched when he saw a figure sitting at the dining table. He furrowed his brows in disbelief, then went
The next morning, Sara woke up to an uncomfortable silence. She lay in bed, avoiding eye contact with Luca after what happened last night between them. She didn't plan for it to happen, but she got carried away by his pickup lines and she just couldn't control herself after seeing him half-naked again.Her heart was racing with embarrassment. The memory of the previous night's events lingered, making her cheeks flush, but she refused to say a word, not even a compliment for being one of the few men who had ever satisfied her so well. She felt like her ego was bruised after sleeping with him.Luca, too, seemed lost in thought, his gaze fixed on the ceiling. He couldn't believe that they had just consummated their marriage. It felt like a full-circle moment, having to finally taste his wife. Besides, she asked for it. After he carried her in last night, she kept playing with his nipples, which made his cock get erect since he had always been sex-starved. Well, unfortunately for her, he
Luca quickly hit the brake and pulled to the side of the road. Then, Larosa alighted from the car. She waved goodbye to him and waited until he zoomed off before she picked up her phone and dialed the same exact number that she had refused to answer a few minutes ago inside Luca's car."Hello," she said to the person on the other end. "What happened? Is anything the problem?""Yes, ma'am," another masculine voice from the other end replied."Ma'am, Miss Sara Edwards runs Apple Club!" Larosa's eyes widened in shock, and a deep wave of astonishment washed over her as she just heard that Sara was the one running Apple Club. Apparently, being in the business for long, she knows that the Apple Club was a big club in general city, not just big for its customers, but it also handles a lot of illegal stuff that she can't name. In fact, the club is just a camouflage for the variety of business that is done inside.She looked sideways and saw a bus stop. She quickly walked over to it and settle
Sara wheeled herself to the table. "Y'all can go. I'm the wife here, so let me do my job!" she announced.A sly smirk curled up on Blue's lips upon hearing her boasting of being Luca's wife. Luca couldn't help but stifle his smile hearing how loud she announced that she was his wife in front of everyone.The two girls quickly vacated the office with Blue right behind them."What is all of this for?" Luca asked calmly as he walked over to the table where the set food were placed. "I clearly said that I would have breakfast at work, so why did you bother to bring it in here?"Sara smiled. "You said you were going to eat, but clearly you haven't still eaten till now, so I'm just doing my duties. Settle down and eat a nicely homemade dish."Luca's lips twitched into an adorable smile as he quickly washed his hands and picked up the cutlery and began to dig in. His eyes sparkled with happiness as he ate.Ten minutes later, Larosa reached the hotel. The car pulled up inside the hotel compou
