Emily watched in confusion as Lucas disappeared through the door. She wondered why he was so bent on remaining anonymous even though he'd been of immense help to her.She walked over to the couch and slouched right into it. The event that happened in her house replayed in her head, how would she face her stepmother and stepsister after this man has put them through.No matter how much she'd forced herself to, she couldn't find sleep. So many things bugged her veins including the fact that Lucas had a striking feature with this heir– No one would trust her, but she'll remain of the opinion that Lucas was the masked man. A few days back, when he brought he'd invited her on a date to the hotel, it had skipped her memory to ask him. She laid down on the couch still lost in thoughts till she drifted off to sleep.The next morning, she woke up and made her way to the car park. To her surprise, the driver was already waiting for her, "Good morning ma'am," he greeted and held the door for he

Emily crossed her arms over her chest. Of course, he didn't know what she was trying to talk about. What if she was acting up, what if it was all in her mind and he was the masked guy and not Lucas."What's your name?" She questioned.Lucas stiffened, "Randolph…Randolph junior," he answered.She nodded. "Fine Randolph junior," she began, "Why are you doing all of these?" Lucas opened his mouth to say when she cut in, "You didn't just show up in front of my door to clear your name from your brothers scandal, did you?""Yes I did… I shower up in front of your door to clear my name," he said in a firm voice.She shook her head, "You're lying," she answered.He inched closer to her, "I'm not lying, you don't–"Before he could finish his statement, she raised his hands that had the scar, "Then why'd you have this on your hands!""I told you it's a coincidence, I'm not Lucas," he said before he caught himself. Fuck!Emily laughed softly, "It's a coincidence…then how'd you know his name?" Sh

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Emily asked as she pulled a chair and took a seat.Nina shrugged, "Nobody goes against the orders of the young Master," she said.Emily rushed through her breakfast and hurriedly grabbed her bag to leave. By the time she got downstairs, the car was already ready to take her back."This isn't necessary, I can find my way back," she said, suddenly feeling angry that he'd left her all by herself. She needed an out, out of this situation she was entangling herself in and fast.What if he's not who she thought he was? What if he's even worse than Denver? What if he's a delusion and doesn't exist? So many questions raced through her mind.The guard shook his head, "I'm sorry Miss Emily, but I'm under strict order not to let you leave her if I don't drop you off,"Emily felt warm to her stomach at the guard words. First he showed up and now he's making her feel sorta special?Get a hold of yourself girl. A little voice at the back of her mind cautioned. Plus this

A ruddy flush swept across Lucas lips at Emily's words. Words had powers but coming from Emily, they held him spell bound."So, you've really not been speaking to him since we had the argument?" He questioned. Even though he was playing out the two roles, being the real Lucas in her presence was the best part of everything.Her eyes crinkled in a smile, "Yes…but that doesn't mean I wouldn't go out with him," she said. Her phone rang almost immediately."Speaking of which," she said, giggling.Lucas rolled his eyes feigning disgusted. Earlier that day, he'd put up Blake to send a recorded call to her. Anything to make her happy and smile he'd do it over and over again without blinking an eyelid."Yeah…I'm free for tomorrow night," she said.She looked over at Lucas who pretended like he wasn't paying attention when in fact he was. "Alright then I'll talk to you later," she said and hung up."Guess what!" She squealed. Her eyes shone like a thousand stars in the sky.I know what.He fl

Emily had intentions for the party. She was bent on unraveling who the masked heir was and why she couldn’t take off the feeling of familiarity that swung around her each time she was close to him. She took a glass of wine and took a sip, smiling and looking around the party hall. Everything that was currently happening seemed to have happened before and she couldn’t help feeling glad that the masked heir found her worthy to invite her to a party. “Are you having fun?” Lucas asked as he walked over to her, still with the mask on his face. Emily took in a deep breath and nodded her head in affirmation. This was every definition of fun compared to the hell she faced in her house. Lucas took a hold of her hands and placed a soft kiss on it. Again, she felt that hit of familiarity but couldn’t place her hands on it. “I would just go handle some things around. If you need anything, come look for me, or Blake”, Lucas said as he walked away from Emily who nodded her head in understan
