EPILOGUE FIVE YEARS LATER“Daddy!” A young boy of around four screamed as soon as he saw Luca.Luca crouched down and pulled him into a hug before planting a kiss on his cheek. “Where's your mama?” he asked, holding his son's hand as they walked into the gently manicured lawn.When he arrived, he found Sara with their newborn. 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

CHAPTER “Actually, that is how this works,” she said, placing it gently in the center of the table. “Clause 19, Subsection B. ‘Should any shareholder hold 51% or more of the company's active stock, they are to be recognized as the de facto Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board effective immediately.’” Jacob leaned over and read the line three times, his jaw tightening. “No. No. We can’t just let this happen—” “You don’t have a choice,” Sara said, her voice sharp now. “You ousted me thinking I’d crawl away and cry. 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

CHAPTER “Don’t start the martyr act,” Jacob muttered. “It’s old. You didn’t belong in a boardroom to begin with. You were never ruthless enough. 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. You’re lucky we even let you walk out quietly instead of suing you for the

CHAPTER The large boardroom was a display of wealth and elegance, glass walls, polished oak table, leather seats lined in a perfect oval. The sun casts golden streaks over the faces of Rose, Ivy, and Jacob. They were already seated, smirking, confident and tossing around papers ready for the day's ordeal. Their common enemy -sara bounded them together A secretary pushed open the door..“Someone’s here to see the board,” she said hesitantly her eyes glancing at rose ivy and Jacob. “Who?” Rose asked without looking up. But before the secetary could speak Sara walked in forcing the secretary to step aside. The air changed.The atmosphere shifted once she entered..All three of them sat up straight in disbelief, then turned their heads slowly as though they couldn’t trust what their eyes were showing them. Why the hell was she in athe board room when she know she has no ties with the company anymore “Sara?” Ivy snapped. “What the hell are you doing here who the fuck let you insid

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.

The judge's eyes widened.“Take the scoundrel and lock his ass up!” A voice from the crowd shouted.“Lock him up!” “Oh my god,he has no regard for the other gender!” “Take this pedophile away; he disgusts me!” Harry smiled. This was what he wanted; he wanted them to slam the gender inequality in his face while he used it against him. Harry couldn't help but smile as he looked at Mr. Damon. His face was filled with astonishment.He must be wondering how Harry was able to get all that information for someone as scary as Harry.…After some minutes of each lady's narrative, their experiences, and topping their claims with medical results, Alexander was stunned.He didn't see it coming. No, now he came to cheer up Mr. Damon for taking away Harry's legal power.“Take him away!!” The judge finally declared, and there was an uproar in the audience as they jubilated.The women's stories were touching.And even those who didn't know Alexander wanted justice for the ladies.Now that he was

Everybody was seated in the courtroom for the public hearing.This could end or make Harry. He sat at the front with Jade by his side as his assistant attorney.Meanwhile, Mr. Damon and his group sat on the other side of the big, gigantic hall. He was happy Harry chose a public hearing. “This would be the end of his career,” he muttered to himself before flashing his attorneys a smirk.He would end up burying his carriage! While Scarlet, Samantha, Ms. Oct, and Stanley sat at the other end, their faces creased with a frown.Stanley couldn't just stop biting his nails; he was nervous about what the outcome would be.They had pleaded with Harry that they try to get some of the judges to be on their side, but he refused to allow them to bride or blackmail any more judges to try to support him.Now he was seated there on his own, not knowing what the outcome would look like.To the judges sitting there, they kept whispering to each other and stealing glances at him for no reason.Well,i

The entire place was engulfed in chaos as protesters descended upon Archer's Law Firm, demanding the release of Professor Evelyn.Harry, who had just parked his car and witnessed the unfolding scene, initially couldn't comprehend what was happening. However, as he approached closer, he could hear their chants reverberating through the air: "Let Professor Evelyn go! Let her go!"A chuckle escaped Harry's lips as he listened to their fervent cries. He had underestimated the woman. She possessed a remarkable ability to captivate the media and garner sympathy effortlessly, without even lifting a finger.All Harry had done was order her arrest and request that she be brought in with her lawyer. Little did he know that it would spark a protest. Unbeknownst to him, the woman had resorted to paying and manipulating people to tarnish his image. Unable to resist, he had filed a defamation lawsuit against her, determined to protect his character.He carefully parked his vehicle, contemplating hi

Days passed, and Harry had dismissed the smear campaigns against his company as mere negative criticism from blogs. However, he soon discovered he was mistaken.Today, after receiving a call from Pietro about the news, he turned on his television. The newscaster's voice filled the room, delivering a shocking revelation."The Luciano company has been scamming innocent citizens!"Confusion furrowed Harry's brows as he walked over to where the television was positioned. He stood to the side, as if trying to distance himself from what he was seeing and hearing.To his surprise, the newscaster was none other than Professor Evelyn Hartley, the CEO of one of the most popular broadcast stations in the country. Harry couldn't believe his eyes. He was at a loss as to what was happening. Just four days ago, he had seen the blogs posting about his designs being of inferior quality. After conducting a thorough investigation, he had discovered another company imitating his work. He had taken legal

Harry's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Amp, unable to comprehend the unexpected encounter. Amp, however, seemed unfazed by Harry's presence and nonchalantly turned to leave without uttering a word. The abrupt snub left Harry feeling a mix of confusion and frustration.As Amp disappeared into the crowd, Harry clenched his fists, his mind racing with unanswered questions. Feeling the weight of his pent-up emotions, he stormed off in search of an outlet for his frustration.His anger led him back to the counter where the lady who had processed the $90,000 transaction stood, unaware of the storm that was about to hit her. Harry approached her with a steely expression, his voice sharp and filled with irritation."Do you have any idea what you just put me through?" he snapped, his tone cutting through the air. "Ninety thousand dollars! How could you be so careless?"The lady's eyes widened in surprise, her previous confidence now replaced with a mix of fear and regret. She stamme

Pietro accelerated, determined to catch up with the other cars on the road. However, his determination was matched by his concerns."Young master, what do you plan to do about that woman? She's like a witch! She's sowing discord among your staff, and once she's done with Bruce, it'll only get worse," Pietro expressed, his worry evident in his voice.Before Pietro could finish, Harry abruptly interrupted him. "Pietro, I will handle it. In fact, I've already taken steps to address the situation. Please, just focus on the road, for heaven's sake!"Pietro swallowed hard, feeling defeated. He understood that Harry was under immense stress, given the upcoming launch and other critical cases that demanded his attention. The weight of it all, combined with Katrina's manipulative tactics, was taking its toll. What Pietro couldn't comprehend was the motive behind her actions. Was it merely her way of life, or did she have a more sinister agenda?Harry's eyes caught sight of a large mall along t
