At Apple's club.

About forty minutes later, Sara was seated in her office, her mind racing with thoughts about who had come into her office and was able to escape out of her club.

Her door slammed open and three men made their way inside.

"What happened?" She asked sharply. "Did you catch up with the men? Who are they?"

One of the men responded, "I'm sorry, madam. We couldn't catch up with them. It was a man and a woman. They had a car waiting for them outside, and once they got there, they zoomed off!"

"What do you mean?" She yelled disappointedly. "You guys were here, and someone broke into my club and made their way to my office, and still succeeded in going out? Is that what you're trying to tell me?"

The three men bowed their heads, trying to apologize, but Sara's voice went on.

"How could you let this happen? You're supposed to be my security team, and yet someone was able to just waltz in here and steal from me? What kind of incompetence is this?"

The three men looked at each o

And even this morning, she still has the privilege to have breakfast with him.When Luca reached where his car was parked, he turned to her, a sincere smile playing at the corners of his lips.

Then she went back into her house.As Luca drove, he thought of calling his boys to be sure they did a great job yesterday after Larosa ruined his mission to surprise Sara, since he was equally tired of a

    Luca's eyes widened in shock as the two tiny tornadoes burst into his office, shouting "Uncle Luca! Uncle Luca!" in unison. He was taken aback, unsure who these miniature humans were or why they were attacking him with hugs and kisses. He quickly played along despite not having a great memory of who they were.One of the little ones, a boy with a mop of curly hair, climbed onto Luca's lap and started patting his face, saying "We've missed you, Uncle Luca! You're so handsome! You've gotten much more handsome since you left."The other, a girl with pigtails, started rummaging through Luca's pockets, exclaiming "Ooh, Uncle Luca has candy! Can we have some, please?"Luca quickly moved her hands away. "That's some adult kind of candy. Not for kids," he said, pushing back his pre-rolls deep into his pocket.Luca was stunned, trying to process what was happening. He didn't recognize these children, but they seemed to know him intimately. He looked around for an adult, but the only person pre

Her eyes were fixed on the cash as she piled it up together. Each one she piled up, she passed it down to Ken, who was using the counting machine to count the money.The door suddenly opened, and an ebony, tall, muscular man walked inside. He had an envelope with him as he walked in."Madam!" His deep voice rang out in the solitude of the place. "I have news for you," he announced.Sara didn't lose focus on the money she was counting. She asked, "What is it, Williams?"Williams walked forward and placed the file he was holding on top of the wad of scattered cash she was still counting."What is this, Williams?" She turned around and looked at him. "What is this all about?"His lips curled into a smile. "Why not you just check it

It had been two days since the drama at the dining table happened, and since then, she still couldn't get herself together. She couldn't believe her Grandmother would be against her being the next CEO and not Jacob? If anything, she is the most capable candidate to take on Jacob! She still can't wrap her head around the fact that her Grandmother was against her and not even Jacob! Well, one thing Sara wasn't going to let happen is letting the position of CEO slip off her fingers. That was her birthright, and she doesn't care about making a pact with the devil to get it. The next minute, a knock came at her door, and it slowly opened to reveal Ken. "What is it?" She asked, almost as if she didn't want his company. "Madam, he is back?

She clicked a remote, and a graph displaying the hotel's revenue appeared on the screen behind her."As you can see, sir, our revenue has increased by 25% in the last quarter," Blue explained, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "And if we break it down further, we can see that the clubs have been a major contributor to this surge. I just know Lord Ercole would be so proud of the tactics you have used in his investments and brought up the revenue."Luca nodded thoughtfully, his eyes scanning the graph. "That's impressive, Blue. I'm glad we could make a change."Blue smiled, confident in her analysis. "Well, I think it's a combination of factors. Our marketing strategy has been on point, and we've seen a significant increase

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.

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

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? Just sit here and hope a good Samaritan sees a group of grown-ass men in boxers and tank tops bleeding in the woods?” “Tch, if we even get found, that video’s gonna drop before we get back.

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
