DE LUCA EMPIRE

CHAPTER 4

★ 10 YEARS LATER ★

10 years have past and the De Luca empire is now under Salvatore De Luca rule with his sister by his side, but of course not everyone would be happy about such especially some members of the De Luca family who see both Salvatore and Clara as outcasts but for different reasons though.

Firstly Salvatore has been ruling the empire with an iron fist and of course no special treatment to anyone even to the De Luca family which pisses them off. But Salvatore on the hand doesn't care and even he has changed the once smiling and cheerful Salvatore is now a cold hearted plus handsome young man 27 to be precise, he took over his Father's company and yes woman can't help but idolize him. But he's too busy to notice and even if he notices he only gives a deadly glare to them.

While Clara De Luca on the other hand holds her own company and it's even bigger than her father's company and Salvatore is supportive. Clara is different now though she's more beautiful and more attractive than ever she even attracts both genders too. She's a cold hearted CEO but shows a different expression whenever around her brother or Luna who is now 26 years old and also the CEO of her company in the fashion woah and her Love for Clara is still there even though she's no longer the shy type rather the cold and less talkative but around Clara she's shy as ever.

Yh you could say the three have been having the best life so far, well only if that was true though.

Salvatore was in his private on his way back to New York with his sister and Luna, all has different reasons.

Salvatore's reason is payback and business

Clara's reason is business but also accompanying Luna too, though not saying it.

Luna's reason is business too.

"Sir we'll soon arrive in New York in 30 mins" Salvatore's personal assistant said whose name is Theodore but Theo for short.

"Okay Theo, you can rest till we've landed" Salvatore said and went to check on his sister who's relax with Luna in her embrace.

"Hey, we'll be in New York in 30mins" Salvatore said while sitting in front of Clara.

"Okay" Clara said while still caressing the sleeping Luna.

"How are you though" Clara asked looking at Salvatore with a straight face.

"I'm fine how else I'm I supposed to be" Salvatore said in a straight tone.

"Okay, just be careful alright, our enemies are there too and I'm pretty sure they will soon be aware of our appearance there" Clara said and immediately Luna was moving before opening her eyes.

"Hey sleeping beauty welcome back" Salvatore said teasing Luna who immediately sent him a hard glare, which made both Salvatore and Clara to laugh.

"Hey, what's so funny huh" Luna said getting up in annoyance.

"You of course" Salvatore said and Luna immediately threw a pillow at him.

"Hey, you can't blame me here, you look like an adorable kitten anytime you wake and then sent the glare it was too funny, look even Clara found it funny" Salvatore said amidst his laughter.

Luna immediately looked at Clara saw she was smiling laughter and she took her iPad annoyingly and went to sit somewhere else.

"Hey, you better sort that out" Salvatore said whispering to Clara who understood what to do.

"Yeah I got it covered" Clara said and immediately went to Luna to apologized while Salvatore looked out the window in deep thought.

"I'm coming back Lukas and I have a lot planned for just me and buddy. And Sarah you are not excluded too bad your family will have to pay for your deeds" Salvatore said in deep thought and immediately held a sinister smile.

★ New York City ★

A man who looks like he's in his Early twenties, which is easy to believe but in truth he's actually in his Early thirties since he's 30 years. He was in a meeting with his share holders and other business men trying to form a partnership with him.

Who wouldn't want to after all the Wayne's Reign ( Luxury fashion or high - end clothing ) is the second leading company in the fashion world and in New York.

"Mr Roberts your offer and presentation doesn't suit my interest" The man said coldly.

"Hmm, Mr Wayne could you at least think about" Mr Roberts tried to change Mr Wayne's mind which was low for him, Mr Wayne is 30 and Mr Roberts is 50 the respect Mr Roberts always held is now, dragged to the ground by someone whom he's age mates with his son.

"Mr Roberts I'm a busy man and this doesn't make me want to go in partnership with you, so don't bother explaining more" Mr Wayne said and immediately got up ready to Leave.

"Mr Wayne could you at consider something else at least" Mr Roberts tried to talk to Mr Wayne who left immediately.

Mr Roberts was disgusted by what just happened no one had ever insulted him like what Mr Wayne had done and he was willing to get him back for it.

"I will make you regret ever insulting me in such a way" Mr Roberts said and left.

Mr Wayne was already in his SUV on his way home. He was none other than Lukas Wayne and apparently ex Best friends with Salvatore.

"Sir, the invitation to the Rizzo party has is still here and waiting for your response are you attending or not" Sandra asked who is Lukas personal assistant.

"Hmm accept it besides that's not the invitation I was expecting from you though" Lukas said.

"Huh, sir I have checked every single of your that's the invitation there well apart the ones you said I should reject" Sandra said.

"I meant a feedback from the De Luca company, since Salvatore Esposito is actually Salvatore De Luca i thought a meeting would be in order after all he's now richer than my company itself" Lukas said but trying to control is anger.

Sandra checked the mail again using the iPad in her hands.

"Hmm no sir, no feedback or invitation whatsoever" Sandra said disappointedly.

"Mmm that's a shame thought I could meet him again" Lukas said now in deep thought.

"But sir there's good news though" Sandra said bringing Lukas out of thoughts.

"Which is what exactly" Lukas asked curious.

"Mr Salvatore is said to be attending the Rizzo party with his sister and the CEO of La Rose & co" Sandra said.

"La Rose & co aren't they the number 1 best Fashion company in all of Italy and New York" Lukas said trying to contain his surprise look.

"Yes sir Mr Salvatore is coming with the CEO and his sister too" Sandra said again while she continues to see more info on her iPad.

"Sister? What's his sister name again and I presume she works for her brother" Lukas said not bothered.

" Actually no sir, she holds her own company which is richer than The De Luca company but Mr Salvatore is supportive though" Sandra said and it only made Lukas more surprised.

"What is her name again and company about though" Lukas asked now more interested to know.

"Her name is Clara De Luca and her company mostly deals with cars and their are rumors she works with NASA" Sandra said while her face was facing the iPad unable to see Lukas shocked expression.

"Sir this is her picture and the current pictures of Mr Salvatore and Miss Luna La Rose CEO of La Rose & Co" Sandra gave Lukas the iPad and he was immediately stunned by Clara's beauty.

Lukas first looked at Salvatore's picture and was stunned he looked handsome to say more handsome than he is, and he checked Luna's picture impressed with her looks and success too. But he was more stunned at Clara's picture, her beauty was enough to make him head over heels for her, after all she does look more Endowed with a beautiful face and body he could only smile looking at her.

"She's beautiful and successful that's the kind of woman I'm looking for" Lukas said and Sandra smiled.

"Well sir I'm sure you will see and meet her at the Rizzo party. Plus Mr Salvatore will be there too" Sandra said without her knowing she was fantasizing about Salvatore.

"I will meet all of them, when is the party" Lukas asked Sandra.

"Tomorrow night sir" Sandra said affirmative.

"That's even better" Lukas grinned.

"That reminds sir miss Sarah has been bugging me to tell you to meet her urgently" Sandra said with a bit of frustration.

"Argh what does that woman want, I'm attending her party what else does she want" Lukas said while still looking at more pictures of Clara on his tablet.

"She's insisting you be her plus one" Sandra said also taping her tablet mostly looking at pictures of Salvatore.

"Hm sure, just tell her I will be there she doesn't have to worry" Lukas said not caring about Sarah's tantrums.

"Okay sir" Sandra sent the message to Sarah and kept looking at Salvatore's pictures.

"What an handsome man he's even more handsome than my boss, plus rich really hope I can see him" Sandra said In her thoughts and even smiling unknowingly.

Salvatore on the other hand had already arrived at New York with his sister and Luna.

They all agreed to stay in the same apartment for protection.

Luna took Clara shopping for tomorrow's evening party at the Rizzo house. While Salvatore was alone with Theo his P.A and he was still talking about the meeting Lukas Wayne offered which only made him smile.

"So sir since you are attending the Rizzo party, and possibilities of meeting Lukas Wayne and Mr Rizzo should we accept their offer so a meet up" Theo asked waiting for a response from Salvatore.

"Hmm, how about I meet them at the party first then I will think about it" Salvatore said.

"Okay sir, also sir we manage to catch one the traitors working for Mr Ubermto" Theo said Changing he's tone.

"Ohh really and has the bastard revealed anything yet" Salvatore said while taking a bottle of liquor.

"Not yet but after some hours of persuasion I'm sure he'll start talking in no time. Should we dispose of him when we are done" Theo asked in a serious tone.

"Hmm, well seeing there won't be a use for him, hmm don't worry about it Clara likes to play with traitors so I'm sure she'll have a better idea in mind to do to him" Salvatore said indifferently.

"Okay sir, I will take my leave now. I'm sure the traitor hasn't said anything it will be best I help with that" Theo said and left while Salvatore only drank his liquor and thought about Theo.

"Not only is he my PA but also second in command, no one would think he would be capable of hurting or killing anyone. Good thing Clara recommended him he's best at both work and underground" Salvatore said in deep thought.

"Lukas Wayne, you really want to see me huh. Well I will grant your wish too bad it's coming with pain" Salvatore smirked at his words.

"Sarah Rizzo and you too your father wants to see me, hoping for a partnership and even relationship between me and you hahhahah only if he knew who I really am he wouldn't even dare think of coming to me" Salvatore said and stood up to go to the window of the penthouse of the apartment.

"The game is about to start I hope you are ready Lukas" Salvatore said.

The day went by quicker than expected. Luna and Clara already came back from shopping but they both exhausted and they slept off same with Salvatore.

Only 2 hours to go for the party and Salvatore mostly spent his time checking the recent updates about both the Wayne and Rizzo family.

So far he has gotten their weak point and failures too. And he even made a deal with Mr Roberts which benefited both Salvatore and Clara which made Mr Roberts happy. He can now make Wayne's Reign regret never going in partnership with him.

"Thank Mr De Luca this partnership you won't regret it" Mr Roberts said happily while shaking Salvatore's hand.

"Of course I won't me and my sister are happy working with you" Salvatore said feigning a fake smile.

"This partnership will definitely benefit us all" Clara was the one to say and Mr Roberts couldn't help but admire her beauty well it wasn't just him. Both the men and women we're all admiring both Salvatore and Clara's features in face and body too.

This made Salvatore want to kill this people but he held his emotions to not start a blood bath now.

"Mr Roberts I take it you are also invited to the Rizzo party right" Salvatore asked to make the Man to stop staring at Clara's body mostly her boobs to be exact.

"Huh, yes I am invited and so are you I presume" Mr Roberts said still smiling like a fool.

"Yes you see I have a grudge against Mr Wayne and I was wondering if you would like to help me in putting him down" Salvatore asked in a evil way. Which made Mr Roberts smile this was what he was waiting for and now with a company even bigger than Wayne's Reign he is sure to succeed.

"Of course I will gladly help, I don't like brats like him who are disrespectful to their elders. But you are even better and I will help you for sure" Mr Roberts said.

"Okay, we Will discuss this another time. After all it's time to attend the party and we obviously need to be early but I still have something's to do so we will have to talk about this later" Salvatore said and Mr Roberts nodded approvingly and they left. But he glanced at Clara again before going.

"Bastardo disgustoso" ( Disgusting bastard) Clara said I Italian.

"Clearly I couldn't stand looking at him" Salvatore said while taking his liquor drinking it in one go.

"So why go into partnership with him, besides we don't need him" Clara said confused about the whole thing.

"That's because he knows a lot more about the Waynes that I don't and that is an advantage for me" Salvatore said taking another bottle of liquor.

"Okay, but hey we still to do the most important thing though" Clara said which surprised Salvatore.

"Ohh really and what's that" Salvatore asked.

"You need a hot chick by your side to that freaking party obviously" Clara said out loud and Salvatore rolled his eyes.

"Not this again Clara you know how I feel with women around me" Salvatore said in trying to change his sister mind.

"Ohh hell no, you need a hot chick and that's it and besides you need a plus one obviously" Clara said in a sternly way and Salvatore only groaned in frustration.

Theo and Luna we're watching the two siblings and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay okay fine, who did you find" Salvatore said giving in to Clara's words.

"Now you talking, take a look at this fine bitch" Clara said and showed Salvatore the woman she picked for him in her tablet.

Salvatore was immediately stunned not just because she's pretty but because he remembered her from one of the operation at Italy she saved him and she's part of the Mafia too.

"Clara where did you get this picture" Salvatore asked in disbelief.

"I see you are surprised, let me guess she's the girl that caught your heart at Italy isn't she but you two haven't seen in 2 years now and you never caught her name but you foolishly slept with her you bastard" Clara said and immediately kept hitting Salvatore on the head.

"Hey, I'm sorry okay but she didn't tell me her name either it's not my fault here" Salvatore said defending himself.

"Who sleeps with a woman and not ask her name" Clara yelled at Salvatore.

"That would you obviously, didn't you sleep with that brunette last week at Italy and not ask her name" Salvatore quickly said which shocked Clara and made Luna angry.

"You what!!!" Luna yelled.

"What obviously you don't believe him now do you?" Clara said trying to calm Luna down.

"Ohh fuck you besides we are not a thing I don't care I don't fucking care bitch" Luna said and left in anger.

"Luna wait, ohh I'm so gonna kill you when I get back. Luna..." Clara said and left to meet Luna.

"Hahahah" Theo was laughing.

"And what are you laughing at" Salvatore asked.

"You of course she's so gonna kill you later and who sleeps with someone without asking a name" Theo said while still laughing at Salvatore.

"Ohh really now, says the guy who slept with a guy and didn't ask his name either" Salvatore said back.

"Hey it was one freaking one stand" Theo said defending himself.

"Ohh really now, should I tell a particular person that can whoop that ass of yours. Hmm maybe some like Aunt Samantha, what would she think" Salvatore said deviously.

"Hey don't you dare in fact fuck you and I hope she kills you" Theo said and left.

Salvatore was left inside laughing.

"So funny, well the party is 1 hr from now I better get ready" Salvatore said and left too.

★ The Rizzo house ( party ) ★

Everyone was already at the party, different people from different places too.

Companies holding to get a partnership with them and companies just there to be envied by everyone.

Mr Rizzo was welcoming Lukas with his wife when Sarah immediately came.

"Finally you are here, I thought you wouldn't come" Sarah said arrogantly as expected from someone as arrogant and spoiled.

She was dressed in a pink pear color dress that held her body tight and showed her curves too. While Lukas was dressed in a in Tux making him handsome as ever.

"Well I had no interest in coming, but since I learnt Salvatore De Luca would be here why would I waste such opportunity to meet him" Lukas said grabbing both Sarah and her parents attention.

"Yes I heard he will be here, and he already made a deal with Mr Roberts company" Mr Rizzo out of spite.

"Father you don't actually believe that low middle class idiot is actually rich" Sarah said arrogantly again.

"Well it will be best we see for ourselves" Mr Rizzo.

Everyone in the party where busy with themselves and others when someone immediately said something that made everyone turn heads. Even Lukas and Sarah did and they stunned.

It was none other than Salvatore accompanied with a very beautiful woman who's skin was flawless and her dress even made it even better. Her dress was the new collection from Vogue themselves the beauty of the dress and design was too beautiful, plus the jewelry that matched with from Chanel the ladies we're immediately envious of the woman but more stunned by the handsome man next to her. Salvatore was wearing The new Collection of Vogue Man's wear and it made him stand out mostly his face did the job.

Clara was no different she didn't put much efforts into her look but she was beautiful either way and with Luna by her side with the same beauty it was hard not to look at such beauties.

Sarah was star struck at what she's seeing not only is Salvatore back and handsome he's even more richer than her family.

That ladies and gentlemen is what you call the wealthy class.

Salvatore immediately spotted Lukas and Sarah and sent a smile to them, not knowing it was the beginning of the game.

"Let the games begin" the woman that's accompanying Salvatore said.

"Yeah let the games begin" Salvatore said holding a sinister smile.
