Luca's Rolls-Royce phantom came to halt at the entrance of Ocean View Hotel and the doors slides open for him to alight with his briefcase and then adjusted his red tuxedo."Boss, should I turn the vehicle around?" Jack asked peeping from the driver's seat.The boss did not respond immediately. He adjusted his tie and said clearly, "I would be staying a bit today, Jack, park the vehicle until I summon you""I'll do just that, Boss"Jack drove away at the instant and Luca adjusted his stubborn tie one more time.He couldn't help but let out a curse, "You have intentions to strangle me"He must have done the tie the wrong way because his mind was occupied that morning with a series of thoughts: The Mafia, The Mayor and the most tormenting of all, The Mysterious Lady: Linda.Luca still feared something bad had happened to her and that was the reason the mayor couldn't find her yet.Only if she allowed him to protect him, this will not be happening.She has no idea he was powerful and alw
Jacob and his wife, Layla, stood at the entrance of the Mizzeti mansion and watched two men in black tuxedos carry out luggage which they stuck carefully into the trunk of the waiting stretch limousine.They were done and one shut the trunk close before they both left.Soon, incoming footsteps made by heels were heard and Jacob turned with Layla to see Nica march out of the building in a plain spaghetti crop top and bum shorts which made her backside appear firm.She had her usual sunglasses on and her blonde hair was now made in a braid style.Nica spin around as she approached her parent and her mother couldn't help but smile. She was proud of her. When the news came from her father that she was permitted to surprise Luca at Thornhill, her joy knew no bounds. She was prepared to spend the rest of the week at his place. Nica had done further research on her betrothed and got to discover he owns and stays at a multi-billion dollar glass villa in Thornhill. She would stay alone wi
Luca always meant his threats and would execute them but not one directed at his uncle, the mafia consigliere.He was only informing him not to try and trick him.The underboss understood this could also be a ploy to draw him out to meet with Danny.He was dumbfounded by Danny's speech and tried to speak but could not find the right word to mutter.His betrothed coming to Thornhill.Was this a joke?Luca was still contemplating whether to travel for the date with her in Italy only to receive this news.The fact that his uncle deceived him down here by using his dead mother was not an issue but the fvcking unwanted betrothed was coming to Thornhill.For what?Luca tightened his fist and approached his uncle angrily.He stood in front of him and said, "What are y'all planning against me? You're trying to bring her down to me?"He was pissed at his family for this and always knew they would force him to be with her one day but not this way. Danny raised his head to the air and responded
Linda arrived at Classy Chic boutique with the big bag that was filled with clothes and shoes CEO Luca had gotten for her.She had hidden the bag in a safe place after running from him with plans to get it again.She was careful of her movement so she doesn't bump into the one she was hiding from. Luca.He would try to take her back to his place. She was sure of that.CEO Luca wanted to help her and she fears the consequences that would come on him would be great.Still, Lucia's life might be in danger if she sticks too close to her but it was better and consequences could be avoided.Lucia had no idea of her people and so didn't have plans to protect her but dear CEO Luca does, and he is desperate about it.The biggest question in her mind at the moment was how she would go about the model work with CEO Luca around.She heard one of the saleswomen say, she(Linda) would be on the papers and TV for advertising the designer wears the boutique had in stock but wouldn't that be an easy wa
Lucia's Ferrari 812 GTS came to halt on the side of a bungalow building at Amex Street and she alighted with Linda who raised her head to see the environment.It wasn't gigantic and luxurious as CEO Luca's place but this was good.Lucia wasn't after luxury houses even if she could afford one. She just wants to work and have a good life.Moreover, she stays alone and there was no need for something massive. Just simple and cool.She unlocked the trunk for Linda and once, she carried the bag of clothes like it was nothing and followed her to the entrance door.Officer Daniel came to halt not far from the building on his motorcycle and watched the ladies get into the building while laughing together.He cleared his throat and spoke to the mayor via the earpiece connected to his ear, "She stays with the manager of Classy Chic. I don't think she is trying to run from Luca else she would be out of Thornhill. What do you think?""Just as you suggest, Officer D. Probably a disagreement betwee
Linda stepped out of the guest room in a designer outfit and peeped down the deserted corridor.Her red hair was wet and now scattered around her face because she just took a bath.It was easy for her to use the shower system because Hannah had taught her the way to the last time she took her bath, at CEO Luca's place.As a fast learner, she could now take her bath by herself.She was angered when Luca had instructed Hannah to help her with the shower but now, she is grateful. Manager Lucia would not be able to detect the strangeness around her.A smile escaped her lips recalling how Luca told her not to move around butt-naked.She was beginning to miss the way he spoke.Linda touched her hair and noticed it was still wet. She had to do something about it and so peeped again to be sure no one was coming. As soon as she was sure, She control the molecules of water from her hair with her fingers and they evaporated into the atmosphere. Down here, she would have to be careful about t
Linda was seated in front of the dining table with a plate of stakes and another plate of microwaved chicken before her when Lucia arrived and had her seat opposite her.She asked, "Are you sure you don't want a plate of rice?"Linda shook her head and smiled, "I'll be fine with this"She took the glass of water beside the plate and drank buying time to watch Lucia use the cutleries to eat from the chicken on the table.She knew from the beginning that the knives and forks were for eating but had no idea how.Linda would have used her hands as always but this wasn't CEO Luca's place, so she mustn't proceed with whatever she doesn't understand until another shows her the way.Lucia must never find out she is just learning about this human world and--Lucia jerked her from the thoughts, "I guess you ain't used such cutleries for eating before. You don't have to be shy about it"She noticed Linda stalling and was quick to guess that.If Linda was truly from the streets. Then this new lif
Lucia's Ferrari 812 GTS stopped in front of the Classy Chic boutique and she alighted with Linda who was in a crop top and short skirt.It was a new day and they had come as early as 6 am to meet the makeup artist before the shoot that morning.Lucia had spoken with Linda the previous night to know if she wanted to have makeup on since she was pretty enough for the shoot, and Linda agreed.She believed the makeup should serve as a covering for CEO Luca not to recognize her on TV or in the papers.It was risky but she had to take the risk.She might not find a good boss as Manager Lucia out there."Alright, we set" Lucia locked the door of the vehicle and noticed Linda's absent-mindedness."You're gonna do just fine, Linda, I trust you"Linda forced a smile and followed behind her boss into the building."Morning, Miss Lucia" Saleswoman Mia greeted her boss as she came through and waved at Linda who responded with a wave.She was always the first to arrive at the boutique to get the do
