Chapter 161Lucas was satisfied that they didn't outsmart him about the money and also happy that nothing bad happened to Sheila. He gritted his teeth that he would pay Lydia back with the same kind of humiliation Sheila was served at the anniversary. The call from his phone jolted him out of his thoughts. It was Fabian his friend calling him, he answered the call instantly, " Hello,"Just want to congratulate you,""Thank you, Fabian, the next step would be carried out in your house if they take any step, if they do not, stay in your house and eat chicken with your wife, " He smirked"You know King Marcus will retaliate, so no need for chicken and rice, bye" Fabian retorted and ended the call. "John, if comb my hair, would the thing still be intact""Yes, sir, you don't need to panic sir, you can wash and do anything with your hair,""You can drop me at home,""Home?!

Chapter 162"Sheila, I'm not playing please, marry me!" Lucas's voice was laced with emotion as he talked. Realization washed over Sheila and she moved backwards and said, "Are you okay Lucas? Are you sick again that you don't know what you are saying?""Nothing wrong with me Sheila, I can only be sick if you don't accept my proposal, I have known you enough, I don't need a date at this moment, I have come to realize that I love you and I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with you,"Sheila's eyes welled up and tears were dropping uncontrollably and said, "I don't love any longer, I have closed the door to my heart due to much heartbroken I have received from the person I loved and he decided to treat me as he liked, please stand up before people start coming in, I don't love you,"I'm sorry, Sheila, I don't mean to break your heart over and over, I could not control my emotions then, please forgive me,"Sheila was shocked by what Lucas said last and asked, "Wait!

Chapter 165Kayle and the other people working in the mansion could not ask Titan what had happened to be the only one that could give them a clue as to why Sheila was crying. They could not ask because of his formidable posture. He wished he could go out and help but he didn't want to disobey Lucas's instructions, he told him to protect Sheila with everything he had until he came back. Unknown to him he would not come back completely. Sheila found his way back inside with the help of Kayle, she laid her on the bed and asked if she should prepare something for her but Sheila didn't answer, she had turned pale, she wanted to be left alone and said, "Please leave," her voice was shaking as she talked. Her phone beeped and hurriedly retrieved it from her purse to see if Lucas had escaped and needed help. But to her disappointment, Lydia texted her.

You're all dead to me. It's just a matter of hours, none of you will escape my punishment, I promise." Lucas threatened and they all quiet for a while.

It won't take me a second to end your life. All I'm waiting for is the go-ahead from the king. Thousands of lives have been taken by me," he boasted."It has come to an end, no more lives to waste, I will m

Chapter 169King Marcus stood frozen, his mind was reeling from the shock of his secret being laid bare for the world to see. Fear gripped him as he realized the extent of the betrayal from the authorities he had trusted. He didn't know that they were not the ones who treated his case, the authority came from New York City. Robert was killed 10 years ago when he came to California for business purposes, he invested a trillion dollars with King Marcus and disappeared without notice forever. Lucas and Faboan had worked for King Marcus and they knew how dangerous he was. Fabian always stayed but Lucas never stopped to poke his nose when he saw new faces, he always saw them investing and they disappeared after investing.Most of them are always pronounced dead after investing with King Marcus and no one dared ask him because he was a friend to local and state policy, he always gave them their dues.Lucas was curious to know the kind of death that always killed them. He decided to ca
