The red sedan arrived at Lucia's place and she alighted with Luca leaving Matt who was behind the steering wheel and Carlo beside him.They had done a good job to clear pieces of evidence that linked them to warehouse crime before retiring for the night.Weapons that carried their fingerprints were rid into the boot of the vehicle.Luca leaned over the window of the vehicle and said to them, "Enjoy the night you two. Hannah will get you whatever you want. I'll come over by the morning"Carlo was not listening as his eyes were fixed on Lucia who soon noticed. She scoffed and escaped his eye contact."Goodnight, Boys" Luca smacked the bonnet of the vehicle and they drove off speedily. He turned to meet Lucia who had a frown on her face, "Your friend. He keeps staring at me in a way" "Carlo?""Whatever he's called. It creeps me out" She complained and he chuckled, "Do you like him?""What? Forget about it, okay? You're not helping" She folds her hands and they approached the door of t
Luca staggered from behind a vehicle, clenching tight to his bleeding stomach and raised his head to see Mayor Perez pointing a pistol at Linda's head.He was panting heavily with his face covered in blood."Do you really think she will be safe!? You don't deserve good things, Luca. You don't deserve her" The old man groaned angrily and before Luca could say anything, he released quick shots into her back.Luca gasped out of the bad dream and opened his eyes to see Linda wrapped around him on the grand sofa with their faces up close.They had slept off in each other's arms and it felt pretty good.He wanted to remain this way with her forever and--"I thought you were friends"Luca tilts his head backwards to see Lucia standing at akimbo in a red double-breasted suit with a white turtleneck sweater inside."Hey," He managed to groan and rubbed his eyes.She scoffed and took her hands down, "Can you let her go now? It's morning""Why are you dressed this way? Don't tell me you're going
The red Rolls-Royce came to halt in front of Classy Chic and Linda made to unlock the door but Luca stopped her.He alighted from the vehicle and unlocked the door from the outside for her.She had cold feet for a moment and eventually got down to meet the smile on his face.Linda tried her best not to snicker but she eventually did and apologize still trying to hold herself, "Sorry"Luca chuckled as he leaned against the door and looked her in the eyes, "What's amusing?""I don't know, you're extra nice this morning" She did not break the eye contact with him until he did with a muffled laugh, "When have I not been extra nice"She bit her lower lip and nodded gently, "You've been nice. Today is just different. Bringing me here the first time to get human wear. You've been nice to me, CEO Luca"The only line that caught his attention was 'human wears'He cocked his brows at her, "Human wears? Is that an answer to my old question?""What question?" Her forehead furrowed in confusion."
"....I'm back on seat. Yeah. That will be all for now" Lucia hung up and returned the landline device to her office desk and took a deep breath before raising her head to see her staring at her from where she sat on the couch."I guess we're gonna have another shoot pretty soon and--" She was interrupted by the knock on the door and they both tilted their heads to see the stockroom clerk step inside the well-conditioned office and shut the door behind."Oh, Nora..." She called out and rest her back on the swivel chair.Nora Miller stopped in front of the desk and dropped some record books in front of the manager, "Um... It's good to have you back Lucia. Mia told me you were on seat now""That's right" She nodded and Nora continued with a concerned look, "I don't know if I'm been-- I hope you feel good now""I'm better, Nora. Thanks for the concern. Are these the records I wasn't around to review?" Lucia asked and picked one.She flipped through."Yes. Saleswoman Mia went through it ye
Luca called Carlo Don El Marco and raised the phone to his ear, "Hey, I want to ask. Who else knows about Lucia apart from the mayor?" He demanded in the lowest tone possible."Why are you creep talking? Well, the cop man who I believe you took care of. Just the two of them""And you're sure he did not inform anyone or make a call about it?" He asked.Carlo paused, then answered, "I was with him the entire time. Only the cop man knows. Is everything alright? Did Lucia get taken again?"Luca could notice the desperation in his voice."She is fine. I just needed to confirm. Goodbye Carlo" He hung up the call and took a deep breath.Lucia was his major concern in whatever would go on.Linda could take care of herself."That's right" He called Lucia and walked outside the building."I'm at work, Luca""I know, give the phone to, Linda" He instructed her and she scoffed, "Are you serious right now? We're busy right now, I'll call you later""It's important, Lucia. Give it to her. Now""Fi
The woman let go of the gun and made to race away but Linda pushed her right hand forward and a force hits the blondie strongly against the wall. She grunt in pain as she fell to the ground roughly.Linda approached and punched her face so strongly that she passed our instantly. She(Linda) was furious because her real self had been revealed to Manager Lucia. She didn't expect the intruder to fire at her that quickly. Good thing she did though. Manager Lucia was safe now. She turned to see Lucia pick one of the bullets from the ground and examined it carefully. Lucia gasped in bewilderment and shook her head, "The bullets are real. How are you not dead?" She raised her head to see Linda who sought for the right thing to say. "It's not rubber. This is fvcking real!" Lucia was beginning to freak out as she rubbed the bullet with her fingers. Did she just see Linda survive shots in the head? The bullet did not penetrate. How is that possible? "They don't affect me. That's how I
This wasn't the time to cover up.Maybe Lucia deserved to know about her.He nodded slowly and she gasped."Don't freak out, she won't hurt you" Luca assured her and she sniff, and turned away from him, "Same thing she said. Don't tell me not to freak out because I am already""Where is Linda" He demanded with a raise of his brows.Lucia locked the door and said to him, "Come with me"She took him to the basement to meet Linda who was still securing the body.Luca gasped when he saw the unconscious body, "What the... Is she dead?" He turned and cocked his eyes at Lucia who shook her head, "Just passed out""What's going on here?" He asked, needing an understanding of the current situation."I recognize her as the one who drugged and took me front the hospital. You apparently killed her boyfriend or rather a fiancé and she came here for revenge, she probably thinks I did it" Lucia shrugged funny face.The situation was not supposed to be funny but having escaped getting killed there ti
Sarah's heart stopped beating for a second as the gunshot echoed loudly in her ears.She was supposed to feel pain but she felt nothing, making her believe she was dead. The gun was raised to her head so the bullet was no doubt deep into her brain already. It took a few more seconds for her to realize she was still alive. Flesh and blood. Sarah blinked her eyes open and turned slowly to see Luca Antonio still pointing the gun at her with a cold stare. "I missed my shot, maybe we should try again" He cocked the weapon and she gasped. Sarah knew with no atom of doubt that he intentionally missed. A person like Luca Antonio would not make such a mistake. Was he trying to torment her right now? Luca lowered the 9mm and his husk voice sounded, "I've never done this before. Someone says I have light and darkness within me. For once, the light calls me to back down" He went and look her in the eyes. She tried to look down when he yelled. "Look me in the eye, Sarah" Sarah panicked
