Lucas couldn’t stop his legs from taking two steps.He didn’t need anyone to tell him that the woman he was staring at was his Mother.Flashes of memories filled his head as he stared in disbelief. Over two decades of being apart from the woman who birthed him caused him instant pain.Scarlett saw two men who looked alike, but she knew which one of them was her lost son. Tears freely trickled down her face as she looked at Lucas, wishing she could get on her feet and run to him. She turned to one of the bodyguards. “Move faster.” She ordered, and the young man didn’t waste any time in adding more force to the wheel. Lucas knelt in front of his Mother, sniffling as he grabbed her hands. “I never thought I was going to see you again. Mother!” The last word made him gasp; a new reality was setting in.Scarlett leaned forward and embraced him, and he didn’t mind the tears that dropped on his suit. While Mother and son were still engrossed in the euphoria of the moment, someo

The night looked like it was the best moment to witness as guests all over the city trooped into the Foden Estate in their numbers. Even though the premises of the Greenland Villa didn’t look like it was not going to be able to contain the sleek cars that were lined up like metallic snakes inside the parking lots, anyone who saw the luxurious cars was going to think that they had walked into an automobile company. Inside the hall were guests in their numbers, brandishing their expensive outfits that matched the color of the day- white. The chandeliers hanging above them scintillated their glitter into the champagne flutes that the sommeliers were serving the guests. Whispers, laughter, and exchange of pleasantries filled the air, but it didn’t sound like they were going to be able to overshadow the live performance of the best orchestra giving their best by the corner of the large hall. Everyone anticipated the arrival of the long-awaited celebrant, but Lucas seemed not to b

Logan had gone to remind Lucas about his promise to the Phoenix sisters. He knocked on the door twice, and then he pulled the handle. “Going somewhere?” He inquired, seeing that Lucas was fully dressed that early morning.“I made a promise to Lara and her sisters, Logan. I don’t intend to go back on my words.” Lucas was already on his way out of the large bedroom, and Logan joined him at once. On their way striding along the hallway, Lucas looked at the portraits of his father hanging in different spots on the walls.A heavy sigh left him, but he was distracted by the appearance of his sister.Briana was curious. “Where are you going so early, Lucas?” She was worried that he was leaving them, especially as she saw the brown portable box he was carrying. Lucas chuckled softly, amused by the look on her face. “Cheer up, Briana. I am not leaving.”“So where are you going?” Briana returned her gaze to Lucas since Logan didn’t look like he was going to answer her question.“So

Lucas forgot that he was in a hurry to leave. “You knew my father?” He asked, and Vance nodded with a smile. “We were best of friends, Lucas. Your brother didn’t tell you?” Lucas shook his head, unable to fight the urge to hear more from the old men.Vance turned to Lola. “Why didn’t you tell me Lucas Foden was the Divine Healer?” He didn’t look pleased with his daughters, and none of them had any excuse for their omission.”"We are sorry, Father.” Lara apologized on behalf of his sisters, but their father wasn’t bothered anymore. “I am sorry for what happened to you, Lucas,” Vance had an emotional look in his eyes, staring with wide eyes. “That was a long time ago, Mr. Phoenix.” Lucas forced a smile, not certain of which of his ordeals the old man was speaking of. Just then, the old man made a decision that was about to change the fate of his three daughters. He cleared his throat, and when it seemed like he was not going to be able to get rid of the clog that gripped h

Logan was beginning to pay attention to his brother, but each time he turned to his wife, she shook her head to dismiss Lucas’s claim. “My wife is not a child, Lucas. I am sure you must be mistaken.”“No, I am not, Logan. She is pregnant and needs all the attention she can get. I am guessing this is your first son.” Iris laughed hysterically, and Logan had to force himself not to join her. “First, you said I was pregnant, and now you already know the gender of the child you claim is in my womb.” “Hmm-mm.” Lucas’ confidence was unwavering, and to help resolve the issue, Briana decided to step in.“I have a pregnancy test kit!” She announced, avoiding her mother’s eyes.Scarlett furrowed her brows. “What do you need that for?!” She asked, but Briana was already on her way out of the living room.She returned as soon as she could and handed the kit over to Iris. “I think this will tell us the truth, Iris.”Iris scoffed. “There is no way I am doing any stupid test! I am not p
