A white car stopped right in front of Luka. The man turned to look at his father. It was a look filled with hatred.

"You'd better get a taxi and stay at Leonardo's place. I'll meet you at noon after lunch." Luka said before getting into the car.

Adam looked unhappy with his son's words, as if he were a stranger to him. However, remembering that he had beaten his son and trusted others more than Luka, he realized his mistake. He couldn't blame Luka for his attitude.

The car drove at a moderate speed out of the airport area. When it reached the public road, Alex started driving at high speed.

"I don't think there are any doctors on duty at this hour; it's too early. Let's go back to the mansion and call for a doctor to come. Don't let Kate know about this." Luka gave the order. He was worried that Caterina would further forbid him to do anything after his wound was fully healed.

Luka had been guarded by his father like a diamond in the rough. He could not be injured in the slightest bec

    "Luka? You are at home? Where is your father"? Caterina stared in confusion. She looked around; there was no sign of Adam.It was close to six in the morning; Caterina had just woken up and was planning to prepare the breakfast menu. If she added Adam, she would have to prepare more food than before.Caterina's brow furrowed when she saw the doctor getting ready to pack up his medical equipment.To her, it was too early in the morning for a doctor to come and control Luka's condition. He should at least come after breakfast."Are you okay? I told you not to go, but you insisted on driving at such a late hour. Did something happen to you?" Caterina asked with concern. She came closer, examining Luka's freshly bandaged wound."I'm fine. You worry about me too much." Luka said in a reassuring tone. "Can I ask you to help me get a T-shirt from my room?" The handsome man looked at Luka with a gentle look. He could not wear his previous T-shirt, as it was soiled with bloodstains."Of course

    "Gabe, you know what you have to do, don't you? You take care of him and bring him back to Sydney." Luka said firmly to his trusted subordinate."Alright, sir." The man replied firmly."What right do you have to ask me to go home? You remember, all the luxuries you enjoy now are the result of my hard work. The luxurious villa and mansion you live in are also mine. Even the business you're running now was originally mine. None of your hard work is yours. Everything you have is mine. If you defy my orders, I will strip you of all those luxuries. I will remove your name from the heirs of my entire fortune. I want to know whether that woman still wants to be with you or not. When she leaves you because you're poor, you'll realize the fact that no one loves you more than me. That woman is only after your wealth." Adam said with emphasis. He looked at his son very sharply.Marco laughed slightly at Adam's words."You don't know Kate at all; don't act like you know her very well. Leonardo is

    “Uncle, you've finally come." Caterina gave a friendly welcome when Luka brought Adam in. She shook his hand, putting on as friendly a face as she possibly could."Do you remember me? We met a few times in Sydney, at the event you organized with Leonardo." Caterina introduced herself, as she thought Adam might not recognize her. She was not a woman of super-confidence."Yes, I know you. Aren't you his girlfriend? You were planning to get married, weren't you? But now you're turning your back on my son?" Adam interrogated immediately. From his tone and the way he looked at Caterina, Caterina could immediately tell that he didn't like her.Caterina smiled stiffly, rubbing the back of her neck to get rid of the awkwardness."Do you have a problem?" Adam asked again. He wanted to know what Caterina's answer would be."No, there's no problem at all. We broke up amicably because we felt we weren't compatible. We had different visions and missions." Caterina looked for an excuse so that neit

    "Uncle, we should just have breakfast now. I've been preparing breakfast since earlier, but no one has touched it yet. My cooking is almost cold. I can cut some fruit for you after breakfast." Caterina returned to the front room without anything. She invited them to have breakfast quickly."You do the cooking? Do you also take care of this luxurious mansion? I saw a lot of servants passing by a few times." Adan frowned."I told her not to do anything, but she was stubborn and took it upon herself to cook." Luka answered."She doesn't want Luka to eat another woman's cooking, does you, Kate? You want to take care of Luka with your own hands, don't you?" Marco interjected."I get satisfaction and pleasure when I do that. I am happy when Luka likes my cooking. I'm happy when he asks me to prepare his clothes. I'm happy if I can serve him. I want to do little things for him so that I don't look like a useless woman." Caterina explained."Is that all you can do? Being a servant?" Adam aske

    "You heard, Luka. You're not the person she wants the most. I just asked her to break up with Alex, but she'd rather break up with you. It's obvious that she likes Alex. They must have had an illicit relationship. She chose to marry you because you're richer, while Alex has nothing. They will usually cheat on you secretly behind your back after you get married." Adam said without thinking.Even though he said he didn't dislike Caterina, he still showed his dislike. It was obvious that he hated Caterina, and Caterina realized it.Caterina clasped her hands firmly. She accepted that she was the one insulted by Luka's father, but she would never be silent if he insulted Alex."If you don't agree, it won't be a problem. Even if Caterina can't marry Luka, there are many people who love her. Men in this world are not just your son. There are many men who want Caterina. Your son is just lucky that he has a daughter. Caterina likes children, so she chose to accept Luka because she likes Sophi

    "Very good, you've already bled twice today. I guess you're not a kid anymore; you should be able to take care of your own wounds. Fortunately this time I was able to come earlier, and you only lost a little blood." The doctor scolded Luka. Not even 24 hours later, he had returned to the headquarters to treat Luka's bleeding wound.Luka, who was scolded, could only remain silent."Don't you love your body? If the wound on your shoulder continues to be disturbed, it will be difficult for the wound to dry and heal." The doctor said with annoyance.” He was paid, and he was annoyed not because he had to go back and forth but because he really cared about Luka's health."The doctor was here this morning because your wound was bleeding." Caterina asked worriedly. She looked at Luka with a probing look."He was hit by his father. Didn't you see that his lip was cut?" Marco answered.Caterina turned to look at Marco. She looked at him deeply, as if she was making sure that Marco was not lying

    Caterina stared at her suitcase with a slight smile. She still couldn't believe that Adam had finally relented and allowed her to come to Sydney. Although the decision was actually made because of Luka's love for her, she still felt relieved. She carefully folded and arranged her clothes in the suitcase.“You don't need to bring a lot of stuff,” said Luka, who suddenly appeared at the door. "Later in Sydney, we can buy whatever you need.”Caterina smiled. "I only brought the essentials.”Luka approached her and hugged her from behind. ”Shopia will be happy to see you again. She's been asking about you since the last time we video-called.”“I can't wait to see her too,” Caterina replied, feeling warmth envelop her heart as she remembered the little girl.After packing her things, Caterina walked towards the main room of the Phoenix Crew headquarters. She found Marco sitting on the sofa, staring blankly out the window. As soon as he saw Caterina, Marco got up and walked towards her.“So

    Their car entered an elite neighborhood on the outskirts of Sydney. Luxury homes with spacious yards lined the streets. Caterina felt like she was returning to a world different from the rough and dangerous Mexico.“We're here,” Adam said as the car entered the large gate of a luxurious mansion.Caterina felt her heart pounding with anticipation. Although this was not the first time she had come to Luka's house, she still felt nervous. Especially because her relationship with Luka was now getting more serious, and Shopia was getting closer to her.The car stopped in front of the mansion's main door. Caterina stared at the magnificent building in front of her with mixed feelings. The house was modern and classical in style, with tall pillars and large windows that reflected the sunlight.“Welcome back,” said Luka, squeezing her hand gently.A servant hurried to open the car door. Adam got out first, followed by Luka, who then held out his hand to help Caterina. Alex got out last, his e

    This morning the air felt colder than usual. Caterina put a thick jacket on Shopia's body. While in the distance, Luka came with several cups of hot coffee."For you." Luka handed the coffee cups to Leonardo and Alex.Leonardo accepted the coffee with a smile, while the corner of his eye looked at Caterina, who was busy with Shopia. He was happy to see Caterina happy. However, his heart sank when he realized that Caterina's happiness was not him. He had to let the woman he loved live with another man.Sophia turned to look at Leonardo. He smiled broadly and waved goodbye. The only reason Caterina and Luka met Leonardo this morning was because Shopia was related to him. Sophia should at least recognize her uncle.Leonardo waved back at the little girl. Just like Alex said, Leonardo has changed a lot from before.Caterina led Shopia towards the group of men."Honey, give the gift to Uncle Leo." Caterina said softly.Sophia nodded.Leonardo stared at Caterina without blinking. After six

    "Kate, I want to talk seriously." Alex said with a serious look on his face. He rarely acted like this. If he said something serious, it meant it was serious."Honey, you go to your room first." Caterina said very softly.Shopia, who was lying on Caterina's thigh, got up and went to her room. That child was really very obedient."What do you want to talk about?" Caterina looked up, looking at the man with a questioning look."Leo will be out of prison tomorrow morning." The man gave information. It wasn't that he wanted to scare Caterina, but he had something else to say."You can rest assured, Kate will be safe as long as I'm with her. There's nothing to be afraid of; he already has a criminal history. If he does the same thing a second time, the punishment will be more severe than before." Luka said firmly. It was as if he was emphasizing that no one could hurt Caterina as long as he existed. Even if that person was Leonardo.This was the sixth month of their marriage, just as Leona

    Caterina stood in front of the mirror. She looked at her reflection there. The beautiful face looked even more beautiful after being polished with makeup. She took a deep breath, then let it out slowly. She tried to convince herself that this was the right move. She did not want to regret her decision to marry Luka. Here she had found so much love. This was the place where she could get what she wanted.There was a knock on the door from outside.Caterina invited him to enter. Dante stepped inside with tears in his eyes. He was touched when he saw his daughter in a wedding dress. He could finally see Caterina get married.As they had hoped, the world Luka offered was far from the hustle and bustle of crime. There were no enemies, no gunshots, no danger lurking every time they left the house.It was the kind of peaceful life that Dante and Caterina had always wanted. They had intended to escape to Sydney and start a new life in the city. However, they never imagined that they would mee

    Leonardo looked at Dante very seriously. His eyes showed as if he was asking what was wrong. He wanted to know what Caterina thought of him."She doesn't hate you like you think. Kate is very forgiving." Dante said with affirmation.Leonardo was silent. In fact, even though Caterina had forgiven him, he still had no chance to get back Caterina's heart. His love story had ended there."Her wedding to Luka is in a fortnight. Come if you can." Dante informed.It seemed that the man's affection for Leonardo ran deep. Of course he did. He had taken care of the man since he was a baby until he grew up like this. The time he spent with Leonardo was far more than the time he had spent with his own daughter. Naturally, he felt that his bond with Leonardo could not be broken. Moreover, Leonardo has realized and regretted everything he has ever done."I'm not sure I can attend her wedding. I can't bear to see her married to another man." Leonardo said with a trembling voice. His eyes looked tear

    The party finished just before 1am. Caterina felt very tired and sleepy. She was used to staying up late and sleeping early in the morning; it was just that she was not used to the crowded atmosphere and formal events like this. Interacting with so many people made her feel very tired. Her energy was drained very much. At this rate, she would need a few days of rest to fully recharge his energy."I'm sorry you had to keep me company until midnight." Luka felt guilty. He felt bad. He remembered when Leonardo had brought Caterina to an important event and asked her to go home first because Caterina felt uncomfortable. However, he could not do what Leonardo did, because Caterina was one of the important people in this event. It would not be good for her to leave the party in the middle of it.Caterina smiled broadly. It seemed that she had to get used to it. Because, in the future, she will attend more often in this way."It is I who apologizes for not being able to accompany you to the

    "You go in first; I want to see my father first." Luka said as they arrived at an upscale hotel tonight. As Adam had said last week, tonight he would be holding an official party to announce the company's new leader, as well as to tell the public that Caterina was Luka's future wife.There will be a lot of media coming to broadcast the news. Caterina's name will become famous after this. She will be the daughter-in-law of the richest man in Sydney. Her profile and background will be explored by many people. If they knew that Caterina came from the dark world of the mafia, they would probably look down on her. She would be labeled as a bad person.Caterina nodded gently, she released her embrace on Luka's arm, and let him leave.Caterina didn't really like parties and crowds like this, so she felt very uncomfortable. She stepped very clumsily into the building where the party would be held.However, Caterina's steps were halted as the doorman stopped her. They asked her to show her inv

    "Daddy is home." Caterina told Shopia that Luka had arrived at the villa. They started to get ready for the surprise. Caterina brought a big cake, while Shopia brought a small cake because she was not strong enough to carry a big cake.Today was Luka's 34th birthday. Caterina and the others had prepared a small party at home. They were celebrating with family only. No invitations, no friends. There were Alex and Dante, who joined in the festivities. Adam had only been notified a few minutes ago.They stood at the door. Waiting with their hearts racing. This was the first time Caterina had celebrated a birthday for Luka. She didn't know how he would respond. She didn't want to expect more, because she had been disappointed so many times. When she celebrated Leonardo's birthday, he didn't want to look at her at all. Let alone accepting her gift, he even threw the cake that Caterina offered.Having been hurt too many times, Catarina no longer had high hopes. Even though she knew the woun

    "Why are you here?" Adam looked at his son with a probing look."Where else am I supposed to be? I need to go to the office to check my work after my two-week. There are a lot of files that I need to go through and sign off on. There's already a lot of cooperation pending. It's time for me to get back to work." Luka answered honestly."The work can be taken care of by others. There are many people who can be entrusted to take care of everything. You shouldn't have left Kate. She's still recovering." Adam seemed very concerned. Even now he was starting to be overprotective of his future daughter-in-law.Luka smiled a little. He hadn't expected that to be the reason his father had asked him about why he was at the office this morning. He thought it was something else; it was because he left Caterina for work."She's fine. She asked me to come back to work. I have Alex and Dante looking after her at home." Luka explained."That's good that you are. You check all these files and give them

    Hearing Caterina's words, Dante felt very happy. He had never thought that his daughter would give him a chance. The man smiled broadly. He approached Caterina, then hugged her very tightly."I know I've made many mistakes. This time I promise I will make up for all my past mistakes. I will be a good father to you." Dante said with great tenderness.Caterina nodded; she returned her father's hug gently.Luka looked happy to see that Caterina and her father's relationship had improved. His dream of improving their relationship had finally come true. At least that was all he wanted for now."No one needs me to take you to the airport, right?" Alex asked reassuringly after he saw Caterina and Dante hugging each other. The two had made up."I guess," Dante replied as he released her hug."Daddy!" Shopia ran to her father. She clung to her father's thighs. In her arms was the doll she got from Adam. She still thought it was from Caterina."Who is she?" Dante asked as he looked at his daugh
