In the evening, Luca and Sara arrived at the De Augustino Estate well before the party was set to begin. Sara felt a surge of confidence in the gown her mother-in-law had handpicked for her.
Standing before the mirror in their private dressing suite, she fastened her earrings and brushed the ends of her hair. 'I wonder what Luca has planned to expose the traitor,' she thought, feeling anxious.
"Are you ready?"
Luca's voice pulled her from her thoughts. She turned on her heels and found him watching her from the doorway.
"Yes. Oh, wait, your tie..." She crossed the room toward him, her hands reaching up to adjust the silk. As she focused on the knot, Luca's gaze swept over her features, noting the way her long eyelashes shadowed her cheeks and how her red lipstick made her lips look incredibly inviting.
"It's done," she whispered.
