Nica was going through all the information she had gathered concerning Luca Antonio when the doorbell sounded and she raised her head.She had them saved in a private folder and would check once in a while to see his history which felt satisfying to her.She had gotten the files from her father who did his assignment on the Italian mafia family before deciding to do business with them.It contained Luca's activity as the underboss of the crime group which managed to stay hidden from the government radar.The government knew of their existence but traces lead to a dead end.Only powerful people and groups in the underground network knew the true identities of the 'Finest White'Luca was the one who did most of the dirty job for the family because he is in command of the mafia soldiers and leads them to get sh*ts done.One of his biggest activities as the underboss was the battle with the cartel system of Italy.It remains Nica's favourite and felt like a fantasy book she read whenever
Linda stepped out of the restroom with her hair on her shoulder and raised her head to see Saleswoman Mia showing a brunette woman around the shelves of clothes while the other saleswomen appeared from the back door with sealed cartons.Seems a new batch of orders had been delivered to the boutique.She pushed her hair off her shoulder and found her way to Lucia's office.Linda did not bother to know anymore as she pushed the opened and entered.Manager Lucia was on a call and turned left and right on the swivel chair she was seated.Linda could hear her say, "How much does the advert cost on the station? I spoke with the Thorn media already...."She paused and nodded gently, "Mmm hmm""K is a friend and I've paid her media company to air the advert tonight, I haven't heard from the other media company yet. Just keep me updated"She hung up the call and smiled at Linda after she dropped the phone on the desk."You're here," She said and stretched her hands to the air and a crackling n
"Alright. I gotta go now," Luca Antonio turned away from the press people and paparazzi who immediately tried to press towards him but the security guards were quick to protect the boss as usual.He didn't expect the press to be here but they are.Who keeps feeding them information about his movement?They were always on his tail.He wasn't here because he wanted to be available for the board meeting with the investors from Greenland but to be away from Nica until the end of the day.She was clingy and he doesn't think he can stay with a such woman for hours.The meeting was an escape door and he took it as quickly as he could.Luca climbed up the stairs and the indistinct voices of the crowd behind him echoed strongly into the air.Enid appeared from the entrance door and approached him.She was always here to welcome him and had a smile on her face.The noise of the crowd had notified her from the last floor of his arrival at Ocean View.She didn't expect the investors to show up to
Luca arrived at his office with Nica behind him and the employees were still outside their office to see them return. He collapsed on the swivel chair and she sat on the desk in front of him, and said, "I truly wanted the combination. I got stuff I needed inside the room"He sighed and waved his hand, "It's alright" But what he truly meant was for her to stop talking.Luca didn't want to hear more of her nonsense.He could never give the combination to anyone for any special reason.All she had to do was damn wait and not come down to his workplace to scream 'husband' to the world. What the fvck?Was this her sole purpose for coming to Thornhill?To announce to the world that they were engaged? Not even engaged but married.In less than 24 hours, this. How would the rest of the week go? Huh? Instructing her to stay at the villa would not work because she had broken it on the very first day. He could tell she wasn't truly here for the combination but to be with him. She wanted to co
"Hey, I'm not married. Okay? I don't know what you've heard but I'm not, you should have seen it somewhere on the internet or anywhere before. I'm single and not open to a relationship" He assured her with his hand on her right shoulder."She claims to be your wife"Luca scoffed and began, "She is no wife of mine. She is just a mentally deranged friend who missed her drugs for a couple of days and now says sh¡t. I can't stop her, okay? Until the drugs take full effect again"He couldn't believe he was saying these bad things about Nica.Well, she brought it upon herself by coming down here to cause trouble.Luca had to keep Enid sane so she could keep on with her good work.She was valuable to him a big deal and he would keep her on track even if it involves painting his betrothed as a deranged b¡tch.Just maybe she is mentally ill with clinginess. Who knows?Enid's face brightened, "Really?""C'mon Enid, you heard the way she was screaming 'husband' out there. Who would do that in th
Linda had left Classy Chic that afternoon to take a walk down the street all by herself. She had nothing to do at the boutique for the day and watched enough telenovelas on screen till she can't more. She also spent an hour watching the saleswomen attend to customers and lead them around the boutique to see shelves of clothes and other materials such as shoes and hats.The time was enough for her to learn every single move and understand how a salesperson work.Now, she could assist Mia or any other whenever she chooses to do something and not stay idle.Only if she was at CEO Luca's place, he would have occupied her with something.Something she doesn't know but she was sure of it.Why was she even thinking about him?Linda cleared off the thoughts from her head and began the walk down the sidewalks.She planned to be away for only a few minutes and then return to her boring life of seating all day at the boutique.Lucia makes good conversation to keep her happy and not bored, but
"Rita..?" Luca asked even if he had no idea who that was.He looked into his device and the red dot was yet to move.The strange guesses slowly began in his head but he was quick to kick them off.The woman responded, "Yeah. She has been on the streets for the past 25 years and has never gotten into trouble with people. I don't know why someone would do this. Maybe she is a bad woman who got involved with bad people and has been disguising herself as a homeless woman the entire time. That would make sense because she never left the street--"Luca walked away from her as he couldn't hear more.The word 'homeless' caused a spark within him.It possibly couldn't be her. No, it can't be her. This is just a coincidence with something.He pressed through the crowd and got to see the officer standing in front of the covered body and urging the crowd to back off from the crime scene."Mr Antonio" He recognized him and Luca nodded still looking into his device with shaky hands.It showed that
Linda arrived at the boutique and found Lucia discussing with Saleswoman Mia. They noticed her presence and Lucia approached her, "I was just asking about you"She informed no one of her leaving, for no exact reason. She thought they wouldn't notice but they did. Seems she was pretty important and her absence would easily be noticed. Good to know that. Linda replied with a forced smile, "I um, moved down the street to um... I just wanted to walk" "Linda, are you doing good?" Lucia asked with a concerned look and she nodded, "Yeah. Totally. You got something for me? " "I was about to leave for the eatery across the street for lunch and I don't know if you desire to join me, you must be hungry" Lucia cocked her brows at Linda who wasn't hungry but she wanted to engage herself instead of seating bored, "Of course. I will" .. .. .. Luca was driving speedily through a tunnel at extreme speed overtaking the vehicles before him.This was the best path to take and not be arrested f
