“I’m still waiting for your reply, Luciano.” She said, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade coated in honey. That sing-song lilt mocking and infuriating, tightened every muscle in his back, he didn’t give her the satisfaction of a glance. Instead, Lucian shoved back his chair, the legs scraping against the floor, and reached for his suitcase with such force that the leather handle bit into his palm.He was already at the doorway when he heard her footsteps behind him, light but deliberate, as if she had all the time in the world. He clenched his jaw. What exactly is my mother planning? The thought gnawed at him as he crossed the grand hallway of the Vega mansion. Who knew Camilla would reveal her teeth so soon? He had suspected from the very first moment she wasn’t the docile bride everyone painted her to be but this? It unsettled him in ways he couldn’t explain.He stepped outside where the black Mercedes idled, polished to sheen. The morning sun caught

CHAPTER 12- Strategic

The cafeteria buzzed with its usual hum of low voices, clinking cutlery, and hurried footsteps. Employees in crisp suits clustered in small groups at the long tables, their conversations muted, careful. It wasn’t the kind of place the CEO was ever expected to show up, not in this lifetime.Everyone knew Luciano De La Vega never stepped foot in the cafeteria.
