“Are you ready to confess or do we still need to take this interrogation session further?” The tall man with a scar on his face who'd become Lucas's kinsman of pain, asked as he forced his fist onto Lucas already bleeding face.Lucas groaned and spat blood“You – you've been asking me that –” he coughed and spat more blood as his head lolled forward. “– that question f– for the past th– three days. And j– just like before… I don’t know what you are talking about!” Lucas yelled the last sentence with all the strength he could pull out of his already mutilated body. He felt pain. And anger at the fact that he was going through so much pain for something he knew nothing of.Sergeant Deem stood and stared at Lucas, his teeth bared as he tried to dissect the situation. Finally, he spoke up.“Fine.” He turned around and picked up a damp towel from the table, wiping his bloody fists. “You leave me no choice.”He rushed hastily out of the room, frustration carved in the hunch of his shoulders

“Lucas it's such a shame that I couldn’t be there to welcome you myself but life has always been so fair to me I don’t mind it playing a smart one on me and making me absent at this time. But enough about me. I’m sure everything still seems very confusing. Especially your identity.”The man cleared his throat“You are Lucas Bryan the child of my first son Felix Bryan Jnr. I’m sure you are confused as to why you never met me or knew anything of this life before. It is because your mother chose to raise you out of the family.“Your father, my late son died from a tragic helicopter accident a year after you were born and your mother who had never been a fan of the problems that came with being a member of such a widely known family, more or less blamed the family for his death. She decided to take you far away from us to live out there with the rest of the world where you would be safe.“I didn’t rest, I sent out a search party to find her. We then came to an agreement. I didn’t want the

Lucas was settling into his new life quite smoothly so farHe'd been very busy familiarising himself with everything he had inherited. Which was a lot of work seeing as he'd inherited a lot.He didn't intend to be a lazy and passive leader, he was going to be actively involved in everything going on in all of his companies as much as he could.Cross had been with him every step of the way. He'd answered all of his questions and was doing an amazing job guiding Lucas on his journey.And Grandpa Felix hadn't lied, he was truly still with him. The man had left several videos, recordings, and handwritten files to aid Lucas in his journey.They basically enumerated all the secrets to keeping the businesses thriving and only Richard knew about them.Lucas spent all his time in a study, listening, watching, and reading the files. He didn't want to make any mistakes.His first step according to his grandfather's counsel was to consolidate his authority. Seeing as many would challenge his back

"I have never been so humiliated in my life!" Rafael Lain thundered as he and his family barged into the house. He threw his coat onto the floor, his face red with anger and embarrassment. "This wasn’t supposed to happen this way not after all the care we gave him, talk more of the support we showed him, your mother went to all lengths to make sure he got a job in that delivery company to show she cared, but he does this instead!" He continued his eyes red with anger and pain from the embarrassment.Racheal and her mother sat quietly on the couch, Paise embittered dried up her tears whilst shaking her head in disbelief. Rachael lost in thoughts, her mind occupied as to how the Bryan heir turned out to be Lucas, the man whom she had just thrown out of her house not long. She had never imagined it to be him remembering all the days she and her family had humiliated and taunted him for having the surname of rich people but having no money or status to uphold the name, and now he had th

"Hello Stephanie, how are you?" Praise lain said to Stephanie Sannis over the phone."I've been good, Praise. Just a little stress from work but all is fine." Her voice was urgent, filled with a sense of determination that Praise knew all too well."I have spoken to my daughter, although at first she disagreed but now she's agreed to follow through with the plan." Stephanie said, her tone resolute.Leaning forward on her desk, her brow furrowing with concern."Are you sure she agreed willingly to do this, Stephanie? It's a risky move and we can't afford any missteps.""I understand the risks, Praise. And that's why we made it look unsuspecting." Stephanie replied firmly."I've made it clear to her that this is the only way to protect her interests and ensure the company's future." Praise sighed, knowing that she had made the right decision manipulating the Stannis, but pretended to show concern."I just worry about the potential consequences. We don't want to put her in harm's way, do
