"I think so," she replied, still trying to grasp the sudden turn of events.Jason's shoulders slumped in disappointment as he sat down on the bare floor in defeat. His family didn't only lose a big deal that could have gotten them bankrupt, but he also lost his dream of being CEO for Nexasky, all in one night.Everyone at the dining table kept silent and watched him sit and mourn his loss until he was sober, unlike Luca, who had a satisfactory smirk curl up his lips. He found it amusing that the same Jason who was threatening him was now on the verge of tears simply because he had lost the deal with him.He tried to get on his knees but slumped down again to the floor, his back against the cold wall, and buried his face in his hands. The weight of his disappointment and embarrassment crushed him, making it hard to breathe. He could barely raise his face to look at Luca or even the Edward family.He felt like a deflated balloon, once full of hot air and boasts, now limp and lifeless. T
Luca hesitated before pushing Sara into her room. He didn't want to go in, but since Grandpa had already said he prepared a gift for them, he decided to go in with Sara. Immediately as he opened the door, he was met with a nice décor. He was taken aback by the sight before him. The room was decorated into a romantic oasis, complete with candles, flowers, and soft music playing in the background.Grandpa had made all of this possible because it was their 100-day anniversary of marriage.Luca pushed Sara closer, and their eyes darted to the words on the bed: "100 DAYS ANNIVERSARY." The walls were adorned with photos of Luca and Sara, and Luca wondered how they were able to get those photos together. Anyone who didn't know them would have thought they had a real white wedding.The bed was covered in rose petals, and a small table was set with a delicious-looking dinner for two. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the soft glow of the candles created a warm a
The next morning, Luca woke up with a scowl on his face, his eyes fixed on Sara, who was already awake and staring back at him with an equally sour expression."Morning," he grumbled, his voice laced with sarcasm."Ugh, morning," Sara replied, her tone matching his.Luca rubbed his eyes, trying to shake off the lingering tension from the previous night. "I had a terrible night's sleep. Didn't sleep at all, actually."Sara mirrored his movements, her eyes never leaving his face. "Same here. I was too busy thinking about how much I dislike you right now."Luca chuckled, a wry smile spreading across his face. "Oh, that's nice. Well, I have a lot of things to do when I get to work. I need to take my bath now."Sara smirked, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes. "I bet you have a lot to do before your title as HR is revoked."Luca sat up, his back against the headboard. "You know, we're really good at this whole 'pretending to be a happy couple' thing. Why not try to fit into a real one
Luca pulled into the parking lot and marveled at the building in front of him. The Eclipse Club was one of the best in the whole city. The description of the building was an understatement to what Luca was looking at now.His father was the best. He had a span of about 20 clubs in the whole city. Most of them were standalone and not associated with him, so a lot of people didn't know he was the owner, and one of them was the Eclipse Club.He made his way inside the lobby of the building while still admiring everything inside.He moved to a lady. "Hello."The lady was speaking to someone in a low tone, like they were gossiping over something.He gave them some space, waiting for them to be done with their petty gossips so he would have the chance to speak to them.Soon they were done. In fact, they weren't done, but since one of them saw Luca standing, she dismissed her colleague and turned to him with a frown. "Mister, what do you want?"Luca hesitated at first due to her facial expre
Luca didn't bother to talk, he walked over to the plush couch in the office and relaxed. He still couldn't believe what he just saw? A brothel in the office!"Hey, motherfucker, how did you get in here? Who the hell are you?" A deep voice spoke right behind him.Luca turned around and asked the man, "Who are you to ask me such questions?"The man smirked and laughed. Actually, what Luca didn't know was that the man who asked him a question was the secretary of the club."Are you for real, man? Are you going to sit there and ask me such questions?" He was baffled by Luca's boldness."Yes!" Luca answered plainly. "I am surprised that I was told to come into the office, only for me to walk back into a club or, no, I just walked into a brothel. Is this place an office, a club, or even a brothel?"The man who was having sex suddenly jumped down from the desk. "You don't dare to speak to Master Victor that way!" He glared at Luca with his post-erect dick, some fluid still dripping from it.
The whole place went dead silent; everyone of them stole nervous glances at Luca.Victor's eyes widened in horror. "You monster! Let him go!"Luca smirked. He didn't feel the need to talk to him since his colleague was at his mercy and was pleading for mercy. He looked over at Clinton and squeezed his hands even harder, making the man scream in pain.Victor shouted. ”Let him go, you tout!” Luca chuckled. "Oh, I'll let him go... when you do what I say."Victor turned to Clinton, who was struggling to breathe. "Hold on, Clinton! Help is coming; he won't go away with this; he thinks he is a superman to come in here and assault anyone, then go scoot free.” He dipped his hand into his pocket and took out his phone. ”Stefano is down there, and if I call his phone, then it will be over for you.” Luca didn't flinch; if at all what he wanted was to see Steafano in action, he wanted to see him up close and watch what he was capable of doing, but the man using steafano to scare him didn't know
Good afternoon, sir." The woman greeted. "Sir, someone is here to see you."The man didn't reply; he was still engrossed in his phone for the next three to ten minutes, which made Luca wonder if he was deaf or probably dumb.He finally took a condescending glance at Luca before replying, "Young man, how can I help you?"Luca quickly cleared his throat. "Good afternoon, sir. I came from Grand Royal Europa Hotels to survey the club. I was asked to meet you before going further.""Okay, so the new survey man from Grand Royal Europa Hotels? That's good!" He said. "Go with her; she will show you your office!"With that, Luca bowed out and quickly followed the lady to the office she was taking him to. The lady took him through the stairs, and after some stroll, they got to one office that was partly furnished. She pointed into the office. "Mr. Luca, this will be your new office for the six months of the survey you will be staying. My name is Bridget, and I will be your personal assistant. Y
After four attempts at reaching her, she wasn't picking up. Luca wondered if everything was alright. Rosa was always with her phone, and she wouldn't dare to miss any of Luca's calls.He made his way to the restaurant that was some feet away from the clubhouse. It was accessible through his map.When he got there, he quickly settled down into the restaurant and called the attention of the waitress to give him his food. After a few minutes of waiting, the waiter served his food hot."Please, can I join you?" A voice suddenly snapped Luca from enjoying his meal, and when he raised his head up, he saw it was a lady."Sure, you can," he gestured for her to be seated.The lady appreciated Luca and quickly joined him. Soon, she whipped out her phone and started to take pictures before she started to eat. Luca, who was eating, noticed what she was doing but didn't bother. It was quite amusing to him how she had to take pictures even before eating, but he waved it aside, knowing we are living
