CHAPTER 282 The fancy car, the soft leather, and the clean smell didn’t help either. As Lord Ercole’s wife, she had everything, one of the best cars in the city, a life full of luxury. “Is everything okay, madam?” the driver asked gently as he glanced at her through the rearview mirror. He has been noticing her unease and he couldn't help but ask what was wrong. Then, his eyes went back to the road, but she noticed a bit of concern on his face. Sara’s breath caught. She turned her face to the window and tried to calm down. But then she noticed a car behind them. It wasn’t just driving by. It was following them and moving strangely. It was weaving through traffic like it was trying not to be seen. Sara’s heart started beating faster. The car behind them was dark and smooth, like a shadow. It was a few lengths back but it copied every turn they made. She tried to brush it off, maybe it was just another car stuck in traffic, but it didn’t go away. No matter where they went, it stayed

CHAPTER 284 Her voice broke at the end. Luca felt a sharp fear shoot through him. The voicemail ended, and for a moment, he heard nothing but a loud ringing in his ears. His throat went dry, and he gripped his phone tightly. His heart raced. Sara. Someone was after her. He shot out of his chair and slammed the phone down on the desk. His hands were shaking from a mix of fear and anger. She was pregnant and she was in danger. How could this happen? Who would dare go after his wife? After their baby? In that moment, his focus sharpened. He wasn’t just a mafia boss or a businessman now, he was a husband. A soon to-be father. And someone was about to pay for threatening his family. He stormed toward the door as he was already calling his men. He could still hear her voice in his head scared, shaken and it pushed him forward, fast and furious. The call connected right away. “Larosa,” he said nervously. “Get your shit together, I’m sending my wife’s location. She’s in danger. Track

CHAPTER 286 Meanwhile, Sara and her driver James were still being chased. Their black luxury car sped through the city roads with turns and screeching tires. Inside, Sara gripped her belly with one hand and the seat with the other, her face was pale with fear. "J-James, please!" she cried in a shaking voice. "Slow down! We're going to crash!" James kept his eyes on the road and the rearview mirror with his grip tight on the steering wheel. "I can’t, madam," he said calmly but strained. "We're being followed, two cars, possibly armed. If I slow down, they’ll catch us." "But the baby—" Sara gasped as her pain worsened. "I can’t… My stomach hurts. Please!" "I know, madam, I know," James said quickly. "You need to breathe. Stay with me. I promise, nothing's going to happen to you or the baby." Sara winced and tears filled her eyes. "I'm scared… Luca’s not answering. What if something happens to us?" "Lord Ercole will find us. You know he will," James said as he weaved between cars.

CHAPTER 288 Tears streamed down her face as names and faces flew through her mind, people close enough to know. The idea that someone she trusted betrayed her made her feel exposed. Weak. Hunted. James’s voice snapped her out of it. “Madam, you have to stay with me. Be strong. This isn’t just about you anymore—it’s about the future of House Ercole.” “I know,” she said, shaking, “but it hurts… and I’m scared…” “Good,” James said, his voice rough. “Use that fear. Let it push you, not break you. You’re Lady Ercole. His wife. That means you fight.” Sara’s hand shook as she grabbed her phone and her body was still trembling with pain. She pressed Luca’s name and waited, hoping he would answer. The phone rang twice before it went to voicemail. She felt a wave of fear and frustration, but she spoke anyway. “Luca… it’s me again,” her voice was soft. “I don’t know what’s happening, but someone’s chasing us. They know about the baby, Luca. They know, and I’m so scared. The pain... it’s get

CHAPTER 300 The driver’s grip on the wheel tightened. His knuckles were white and sweat poured down his face despite the Ac blowing hard. Fear crept in, but he had to keep them safe. He couldn’t fail his boss’s wife. But the longer he drove recklessly, the more his anxiety grew. If he didn’t lose them soon, they were all dead. "Madam, hold on! Please, stay calm!" James’ voice was shaky, full of panic. He had to keep her alive. Sara felt more blood trickling down her thighs and her breath came in quick gasps. "James…" she whispered, unable to say more as the pain was overwhelming her. She pressed her hands to her stomach, but the blood made her hands shake uncontrollably. "I’m scared, James! Please, please slow down!" she sobbed, her voice weak. "I can't, madam, I—" James’ voice broke. "They’ll catch us if I do!" Then, the voice from behind came again, louder and angrier. "Stop the damn car! Now! You think you can run? We'll shoot both of you if you don't stop!" The threat hit Sa
