Restrictions
Lyfan nodded in agreement as she replied, “Yes, sir. I can. I will give the orders right away, and the company operations will now be under our control.”Until now, Lyfan hadn’t known that the CEO of Blue Stark was actually Lucas’s ex-wife. But she knew one thing—Clara deserved all the backlash of life hammering on her.“Sir…” Lyfan called out. “What about Jordan, who has been the root of the scam? I’ve been waiting for you to give the order on what I should do with him. Should I get him arrested?”Lucas shook his head dismissively. “My war isn’t with Jordan, but with Clara. I know he has his own crimes in this, but he’s not the main focus here.”Lyfan had the feeling that Lucas was taking this very personally, though she still couldn’t figure out why. But then, who wouldn’t take things personally in a situation like this—when a single woman received funding that was supposed to be allocated to ten companies all to herself. “--”The next day, Clara had dressed up. She picked up her c
She's The New CEO
At the moment, she was trying to process the situation unfolding in front of her, wondering if she was dreaming—because these same guys had been employed by her. She had once wanted to fire them because she came to the office one day and didn’t meet them at their duty post. Not that they weren’t active afterward, but she had threatened to fire them, and they had begged her as though she were some sort of demigod, almost kissing her feet.And now, they were the ones blocking her path to her own company.Disbelief slammed hard into Clara’s face, and the pain pinched deep.“We are sorry, ma’am. We can’t let you in. Our job is at risk if we try that,” one of the security guards said gently. He dared not look into Clara’s eyes.“What do you mean by that? I’m the one who employed you here, and I will be the one to decide if you get fired or not. And yes—after this goddamn conversation, I will fire both of you,” she said, pointing her fingers at the two men.One of the men, the one who had r
Relive Memories
Clara, realizing the entire situation, began to back off. She stared disgracefully at the guards as she walked away.She got into her car, and it felt like hell was boiling within every nerve in her body. Abigail tried to calm her down, but Clara shot her a furious glare, and Abigail curled like a snail.“I’m sorry. I won’t say a word.”Those were the last words Abigail said, and the last words that were heard throughout the journey—until Clara dropped Abigail off and drove home.“--”Two days laterLucas was seated on a couch in one of the five-star hotels owned by his father, Derick Storm. He was holding Amanda’s phone—the same phone she had used to make the last video for him, in case she couldn’t make it.Tears dripped down his face as he watched the video over and over again.At that same moment, the door opened and James, his butler, walked in. When Lucas saw him, he cleaned his face with his wrist, not wanting James to know he had been crying. But James already knew—and he unde
Balancing Responsibility With Grief
At this point, Lucas gazed at the kids, lost in thought, smiling wildly and openly in public. Then James’s hand touched his, and Lucas snapped out of it.James understood what Lucas was going through—another moment lost in thoughts of his daughter. With a calm smile, James spoke gently.“You will be fine, sir.”Lucas nodded, then walked forward into the school compound. He made his way to the school garden, and there it was—the exact flower Amanda always brought home with her.He leaned closer to the flower and caressed its sparkling red surface. Just then, a man spoke from behind him.“Mr… it seems you’re here to pick up Amanda?”The man came from a corner, and when he saw Lucas clearly, he immediately recognized him as Amanda’s father. The man was her math teacher, but he didn’t know about her death, nor had he noticed her absence from school in the past weeks.He had seen how brilliant Amanda was—how hardworking she was in almost everything, from learning to every quality that made
Highly Valued
Just then, the door was gently pushed open and James walked into the room. He bowed his head before greeting.“Good morning, sir. Breakfast is ready in the dining room.”Lucas’s face appeared confused. “Where am I? This place doesn’t seem to be the five-star hotel you took me to earlier.”“Yes, sir,” James agreed. “Last night, while you were drunk, I boarded you on a private jet and we flew to Florida.”“Florida?” Lucas echoed the word, stunned. Just then, James’s voice cut in again.“Sir, why don’t you come have breakfast first? I’ll explain the reason we’re here.”Lucas nodded, and soon after, he headed to the dining room. Because the mansion was so vast, James had to guide him along the way.When Lucas settled into an elegant chair, perfectly constructed and touched with gold on every side, he rested his hands on the table and turned to James. “Where is this place?”The dining table was filled with different categories of food—meals he had never imagined he would have. Almost every
The Resort
Lucas had heard of it, but he had never imagined that it was owned by Derick Storm—his late father. The first time he heard of it was when Amanda was reading one of her books and came across it. She showed it to Lucas; the book contained some parts of the resort, and it was amazing.“You mean the Green Fluorescent Resort is owned by Derick Storm, my father?” Lucas’s brow raised in surprise as he asked.“Yes, Mr. Lucas. This is just part of his empire. There’s more that we will explore in the following days.”Thereafter, James told Lucas about other things his father had invested in. He owned an airport, more than twenty factories, and a lot more.Lucas was stunned.It was now time to head towards the resort James had told him about. Lucas was dressed as usual and was eager to see what a resort was like; he had never experienced life in one.He soon remembered that the last vacation Clara went on was at that same resort, which was the Green Fluorescent.“Sir, are you ready?” James aske
Encounter With Jessica
Jessica scoffed, then took a deep breath before exclaiming. “Why do you care? If I had the chance to kill him, I would have done it. I don’t want that wretched fool to ever come close to my Clara. Thank goodness there are no more attachments between him and Clara in the aspect of offspring.”Jessica’s words were so inhuman that she sounded like a devil speaking from hell. She didn’t only call Lucas wretched, but also praised the fact that he had lost Amanda, seeing it as a success to detach him completely from her Clara. After a short while, not long after she made those words, she sighed. “Why do you suddenly look so worried about that fool? You know he’s nothing but a leech on Clara’s skin.”It was still unclear why Morgan had suddenly begun to ask about Lucas.Morgan then smiled darkly before speaking. “I’m just glad that he’s no longer a leech to Clara.” He then relaxed back onto the chair he was seated on. “Sis, let’s continue having our fun. Remember, we plan to spend one week
Confrontation And Anger
Jessica's voice sounded just after Morgan's scornful words. Agreeing to what he had said, with additional brutal words from hers that made Lucas feel as though she had been praying for Amanda to die.This time, Lucas lost it. He couldn’t afford to let her words slide. He stepped forward with reddened eyes. “What do you mean by that, you silly bitch?”His face burned with fury, and Jessica felt like she could challenge Lucas head-on. She shot him a glare and replied bluntly, smiling scornfully.“You heard me right… or do you want me to repeat my words? I said I wish you had died alongside her in the accident. If you had, I wouldn’t have had the stress of exchanging words with you right now, you will be nothing more than an invisible ghost.”Unable to hold his emotions, Lucas spoke with a cracking voice. “Do you even have any sympathy at all? You are a demon. Jubilating over your own granddaughter’s death is the act of pure evil.”Jessica laughed. “This isn’t evil—this is fact. And seco
He Was Such A Good Man
James and Lucas made their way to the management section of the resort. The moment the staff in charge at the office saw James—who had once come with Derick Storm and whom Derick had introduced as his butler—they all bowed their heads, though they still couldn’t figure out who he was with, which is Lucas. Not long after, a tall man with brown eyes came walking hastily toward James. The moment he saw James, he bowed his head before speaking. “I’m sorry, sir, for taking so much time before arriving here.”James grinned. “It’s not that I’ve been here for that long, I just got here.”He then gestured for the man to see Lucas. “This is my master… hucks, the son of the almighty Derick Storm.”The moment the man heard the words “son” and “Derick Storm” he froze.“Oh, goodness… are you for real?” The man was struck with disbelief. It was a privilege to meet Derick Storm’s son, and he had never even known Derick Storm had a son.Wow so this is the son of Derick Storm, his the luckiest man in
Sober Reflection
Lucas lay on the bed, but then he stood up and went over to his previous trousers he had changed from. He took it off and dipped his hands inside the pocket, bringing out a necklace. He stared at it, and with eyes welling up with tears, he mumbled:“I wished I had the chance to give this to you, my lovely Amanda.”This specific necklace he was holding cost five thousand dollars, and that was the necklace he had promised to buy for Amanda but ended up using the money to gamble because it was not enough. That later became his lucky win for the lottery that had attracted him into connecting with his father.After Amanda died, he went back to the shop and bought it. Even though he didn’t have the chance to give it to her, at least keeping it with him would always remind him that he had kept his promise of buying the necklace.“--”The night felt like hell. Clara rolled over the bed, stood, and sat back on it again. She stood and ended up by the window. She paced around her room with her h
