Lihat lebih banyakRen, another round please," Luca gestured to the bartender.
Ren arched an eyebrow skeptically. "You're going to overdo it, Mr. Luca."
Luca glared at him, annoyance clear in his expression. "Just get me the damn drink, Ren," he ordered as the bartender dutifully prepared it.
With a heavy sigh, Luca downed yet another scotch, feeling the familiar burn in his throat."
He turned to the dance floor, feeling the bass of the music pulsing through his body. The crowd was wild, everyone lost in the moment as they danced the night away. Luca had come here to forget his problems for a little while. He was facing the possibility of losing his inheritance if he didn't get married soon, but there was a catch - he was allergic to women's touch.
He let out a deep sigh, feeling the weight of his predicament on his shoulders. Suddenly, his eyes fell on her. With her deep green eyes, she was completely immersed in the song, dancing like she had not a care in the world. Their eyes met and they both stared at each other for a long moment, until Luca turned away.
Women had never interested him due to his illness, but something about her was intriguing. He faced the bartender, trying to ignore the racing thoughts in his mind. Suddenly, he felt something on his back, and he turned slowly, his drunken state making it difficult to focus. There she was, clearer than she had been on the dance floor.
"Wanna hook up?" she asked, giving him a dashing smile. Luca stared at her for a while, expecting his allergy to kick in, but nothing happened. He assumed it was just his drunken state that was preventing his allergy from flaring up, so he didn't think much about it.
“I’m not sure.” He said instead. What was he doing trying to hook up with a woman? Maybe he just drunk.
"I know a place," She said with a seductive smile.
Luca eyed her for a second. “Sure.” He said at last and they left the club together, and as they walked down the street, Luca couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement mixed with apprehension. He had never been in this situation before.
They arrived at a small hotel, and Luca couldn't believe what was happening. He was about to have sex with a woman for the first time in his life. As they began to undress, he felt a sense of nervousness, but also excitement.
After they finished, Luca lay there, feeling more alive than he had ever felt before. He couldn't believe how good it felt to be touched by a woman.

The sun's rays passed through the window, and Luca slowly opened his eyes. The room was unfamiliar, and he was confused about how he ended up there. Suddenly, a memory flashed in his mind - a night of passion with a woman, a stranger. How was it even possible? He wondered. The scene of leaving the nightclub and hooking up replayed in his head.
Surprisingly, his allergy didn't kick in, and he was perfectly fine. Luca quickly got up from the bed and started gathering his clothes that were scattered all over the floor. He found his black pants and retrieved his phone from his pocket.
The phone rang immediately as he picked it up. "Good morning, Mr. Luca," said the voice on the other side. "I need you to find someone," Luca said with every ounce of anticipation. "As soon as possible, Raul."

Elena stood before the oversized mirror in her bedroom, draped in a pristine white towel after her recent bath. Her mind wandered to the events of the previous night with Luca, the son of her greatest adversary. Despite her loathing for him and the way he had treated her like a prized possession, she couldn't help but think that her plan was progressing well. With a spy embedded within the Romano group providing her with regular updates on Luca's whereabouts, she knew that he was her primary target. If she could successfully capture him, then the destruction of the Romano group would be a mere formality.
Elena had deliberately positioned herself at the club where she knew Luca would be present, ensuring that he could see her. As she approached him, she was taken aback by how different he was from the fierce and imposing figure everyone had portrayed him to be. When she looked into his eyes, she sensed a hint of pain and longing, despite his strikingly handsome features. However, Elena's intentions were clear - she had no interest in falling for him; all she wanted was revenge.
Although she knew that capturing Luca would require considerable effort, Elena was renowned for her seductive prowess and was confident in her abilities. As she smiled sinisterly, she uttered the words, "I'm coming for you, Mr. Romano," with a sense of satisfaction, knowing that her plan was gradually unfolding.

Luca stood, staring out the window of his office with his hands in his pockets. His mind was consumed with thoughts of the woman he had spent the night with. He couldn't get her out of his head.
"I'll find you, Amora," he muttered to himself, his determination unwavering.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his best friend's voice. "How's my CEO doing today?" Rio asked as he entered the room without knocking.
Luca turned to face him,"My position as CEO isn't stable yet, Rio," he replied, his tone serious.
"That?" Rio made a sarcastic face. "Shouldn't be a problem," he completed with a smirk.
Luca frowned, annoyed at his friend's teasing. Rio knew the conditions for keeping his position were not within his control.
"Are you teasing?" Luca asked, his irritation apparent.
"Yes," Rio burst into laughter while Luca rolled his eyes and took his seat. "Are you done?" Luca asked, his tone serious now.
Rio knew Luca's illness and was the only person he could count on. "Yeah, I guess," he said, his grin fading. "Your dad might not take it seriously," he added, referring to Luca's father who owned the company.
"No, Rio. You know him," Luca replied, apprehensive about his father's reaction.
Luca hesitated for a moment before deciding to confide in his best friend about his night of passion. "Although..." he began, his eyes searching Rio's face for any sign of judgment.
Rio turned his full attention to him, ready to listen to whatever Luca had to say. "I met someone last night, and we had a one-night stand," he revealed.
Rio raised a brow. "You didn't tell me you were gay, Luca."
Luca was taken aback. "Gay?"
"We both know it's not a woman," Rio teased.
"It is," Luca insisted, trying to convince his friend that he had been with a woman.
"What?!" Rio blurted out, clearly shocked.
Luca proceeded to narrate the entire incident, from how they met at the club to the hotel and how he was left alone the next morning. Rio listened attentively, trying to grasp the gravity of the situation.
"What's the next plan, Luca?" Rio asked, concerned.
"I need to find her. I'll make her mine," Luca replied, his determination unwavering.
"A random woman? Are you crazy?" Rio exclaimed, incredulous.
"I don't care, Rio," Luca said, his mind made up.
The night had changed everything for Luca, and he was determined to find the woman he had spent the night with, no matter the cost.
“Rio,” Rossi said. “There’s a commotion in the hospital he was admitted in. He is on the rooftop with Elena. Luca should have received a call by now. He keeps asking for him.” Rex turned to look at Luca who stared anxiously at him. “I’m with Luca right now. We’ll head there right away.” Rex said and hung up.“What…”“Your crazy Boyfriend has her.” Rex seethed.“What?”“There’s no time. Let’s leave.” Rex said as he walked out of the house, trailed after by Luca.As they entered Rex’s car, Luca was still oblivious to what was happening.“Aren’t you wrong? Rio is in a psychiatric hospital.”“And he has my sister. He is threatening to kill her.”“What?” Luca's eyes shone in surprise. How is that….”“I don’t fucking know!” Rex snapped as he faced the road and hit the accelerator. Luca stared at him and looked at the road ahead. What the fuck is happening?When they got to the hospital, there was greeted by the crowd in front of the hospital as Rio stood at the edge of the rooftop, with a
Rex paced around the living room frantically. It was late in the night and there was no sign of Elena. He has been trying to reach her since they left King’s Hotel. After the argument with Rossi, it was as of Elena had disappeared into thin air. She wasn’t even in the motel she has been hiding all this while. He dialed his father….they had both exchanged contacts earlier, both promising to give each other updates on how things would proceed.“I can’t seem to find her,” Rex said immediately after he heard the beep.Rex could hear him sigh from the receiver’s side. “Where she’s staying?”“Not there. And she isn’t picking up my calls. The call doesn’t seem to go through no matter how many times I try.” Rex said in frustration. “Does Levante have her?”“I will ask my people to track her. She’ll be fine, Rex.” Rossi said.Rex hung up but the gut feeling that his sister was in danger was overwhelming. He couldn’t just sit and wait without doing anything. What if Elena was in danger? A tho
Luca moved instinctively towards her and drew her into his embrace. Elena's lips curved into a smile as she snuggled close to him. “What happened with Rio wasn’t your fault.” She said.“I know. I know. But I can’t seem to stop blaming myself.” He murmured in her hair. Elena rubbed his back like a child that needs consoling.“Let’s get married. And leave this place.” Luca said as Elena’s body stilled in his arms. She didn’t expect things to be going this way.She freed herself from him and looked at him. “Really?”Luca smiled at her. “And it’s not because of the child. I haven’t felt attracted to anyone the way I am to you since Angelo’s mother died. I’ve only loved her.” He said as Elena forced a smile. She hated the fact that she couldn’t tell him the truth yet. It wasn’t the time. When everything’s settled, they would have the whole time in the world. She promised herself.“For now…” Luca stared lovingly at her as he removed the strand of hair that was covering her face. “Let’s help
“What development?” Elena asked.“Someone with the same goal as us contacted me.”“What?” Elena raised a brow. “What do you mean?”“I don’t know. He wants to stay anonymous till the day we meet.” Rex said, frustration evident in his voice.“Does that make sense? Do you want to meet up with some stranger? Because of what?” Elena asked with a sarcastic look.“I don’t care. I lost Victoria. I don’t want to lose you too. As far as I know, Levante thinks you’re dead. We need to strike now. When they least expect.” Rex said with determination.“Do what you want.” Elena stood up and picked up her cell phone on the bed. “I’m going to meet the father of my unborn child.” “What? By this time? Why are so stubborn? What if Levante sees you?”“I don’t care. I might as well tell Luca the truth about them. He would stop caring about that Rio.” Elena hissed and headed for the door.The evening breeze was gentle but Elena couldn’t help but feel chilly as she stood by the roadside, looking for a cab t
“I fucked Martino.” She said dryly as Rex's eyes flickered at her for a while and averted his gaze quickly as if trying to hide something. “I fucked him,” Victoria replied as Rex shifted his gaze to her face again. “Okay.” He shrugged. “It’s all for the plan, right.” He asked, desperation hidden in his voice.Victoria cupped her face in frustration. “I love him, Rex.” Rex's hands stiffened in his pocket. He parted his lips but nothing came out. “Say something, damn it!” She fired as Rex chuckled.“Say what?” He asked, trying to fight the emotion that was burning within him.“Curse me. Call me a filthy bitch. I can take it all. But I do love him, Rex.”“And us?” Rex asked as if that has been the question in his mind.Victoria closed her eyes for a while and opened it. “I don’t know.” She shook her head as Rex’s heart sank.“I don’t know, man. I need space.” She said as tears streamed from her eye. As she turned to leave, Rex caught her arm again.“Our plans?”“Are you kidding me ri
Martino sat down in the visiting room while Levante paced around in front of him. He didn’t dare to talk. After he received his call at the hospital earlier. His urgent tone signaled to Martino that Levante was, even more, crazier than his son. “PTSD ugh?” He stopped moving as he regarded Martino. Martino paused, nothing ever gets past this man. More reason why he should be more cautious.“The doctor hasn’t made any diagnosis yet. He’s still under observation.” Martino replied, careful with his words in order not to infuriate him any further.Levante nodded. “Will he be admitted to some psychiatrist hospital?”“Like I said…”“I bloody heard you the first time, Martino!” Levante fired as Martino bowed his head. That’s more like it. This was his true character. Not the unusually quiet type that was unpredictable.“I’m sorry boss.”“Did the doctor say what caused his trauma?”“I…”“I could get that information in a matter of seconds. Think before you lie.” Levante hissed.Then why did y
