His mind reeled with thoughts as he pondered his fucked up life.Why is it everytime I try to get back to my feet, something stupid just pops up and ruins everything?Am I cursed? Because the way it's going now, I don't understand anymore?The thoughts came crashing down on the poor soul and he couldn't help it.After struggling to finally get a grip on the past scandal, now this?What the actual fuck?Why is life so unfair?Funny enough, he had sworn not to take alcohol anymore if not, definitely he wouldn't be thinking about this by now. He'll be lost in cloud nine, enjoying the fancy illusions in his head, even though it's just for a while, a short sweet while.Come to think of it could it be Derek?Immediately, he grabbed his phone, just as if a light was flipped on in his head. His heart pounded heavily against his chest as he struggled to stay calm and find the tracker.“Oh thank God,” he breathed. Derek was still at home. In fact, he was sleeping, Lucas could see him clearly.‘

“We're not going to do business with Arcane anymore. Call Armando Tucker, we're partnering with him!”That was the first word that left his lips after a long while of being out of action. Weeks had passed and he was still healing, but today, Lucas up and kicking again and ready to get back in the game.Besides, his system task only 1 week to be completed.“Sir, we can't do business with Armando, you know he's a drug dealer…”“Shut the fuck up and make the damn call…” he slammed coldly at Brenda and slammed the telephone.His heart swelled with pain as he stood up and enjoyed the awesome scent of the morning lilies, his eyes shone brightly at the glowing petals, a view he hd missed for a while.However, his eyebrows raised suddenly and he quickly grabbed his phone, more like he just had a premonition.His fingers tapped softly against the screen and the beeping sound of the call echoed in the room.“Derek…” he returned back to the cold and oppressive Lucas with his intimidating voice.

His heart pounded heavily in the darkness as he stood right there, unable to even take a step forward. However, he knew Armando would have something planned for him and so, he rushed into the car…The moment he slot in the key into the car, something came on. A small metallic material with a circuit, a timer and a red blinking light.“Not again!” He cried. He still hadn't responded to the call yet.He tried to force the door open but the car has automatically locked.“Shit!”He forced a big lump down his throat and finally picked the call.“Well, well, well…” the voice mocked. It was definitely Armando's brother and he still didn't know his name. That brother was not always on the limelight, but more like controlled the Tucker empire in the shadows.“I'm not sure you really heard me clearly the last time we spoke, senor…”Lucas' heart almost leaped out of his chest but he held it back in with a firm grip on his chest. Beads of sweat rolled down his head and he struggled to breathe as

It seemed like something flipped in his senses.This was not time for games, the clock endlessly ticked gently in his head, sending shivers down his spine. He looked closely, a deep breath of relief escaped his breath.‘Thank God…’“Thanks Roxanne, but I'll have to go now…” he yanked himself off her and dashed off into the garage. His new engine beeped softly as his fingers punched the keys, the door opened up by itself.The car showed nothing by wealth and power. The sleek lines defined the beauty of the powerful beast that drove speedily on the road, humming softly and moving with style. This was a real class… Armando really meant his words and he knew his onions. Lucas on the other hand was drenched in sweat, his eyes reddened as he drove into the distance. The slightest noise he heard from his phone would make his heart skip. Fear enveloped the poor soul and his body itched him so badly, but he couldn't help it. It felt like the air conditioner was sending in hot air. But that w

The bartender grabbed his neck hard and choked him. The live stream was still on going. The other people in the bar cheered as they pounded his face hard.Each jab was accompanied by drool from his sagged lips and a soft groan. His head was slammed into the ground countless times. He dragged him up, Lucas’ soul shaken completely and was barely alive. With a loud cry, he slammed him with a face burst into the wall and his body dropped to the ground suddenly, his breath faded.“Get up! Get up pig!” The bartender growled, but just then, a car stopped abruptly, the screeching sounds of the tires chased away some of the paparazzi, alongside the security that invaded the area immediately.Brenda rushed in quickly and dropped to her feet at the sight of what was left of him.“What have you done?” She cried, her voice dry.“He didn't pay up!” He snapped flatly, his expression remained indifferent.“So is that why you'll do this to him?” She queried and rose to her feet sharply, her hands kiss
