Chapter 8: Introductions
It took Lucas a whole two hours to find out where he was and find his way back to the mansion where he was now meant to live at due to his job, especially when the driver who took him to see Emilia was nowhere to be found when he was actually needed. Emilia was probably the one behind it but with the driver MIA, Lucas was left alone to find his own way.Lucas huffed and placed his hands on his waist after he got down from the cab that brought him to the gates of the Graham mansion. He had trekked for the most part since the house he was taken to was hidden behind trees, but soon enough, he was able to get a cab to bring him to his destination. Lucas stared at the gate, memories flooding his mind, but he didn’t let them linger as he had a job to do. A job to bring the Graham’s down.“You again.” Lucas heard a familiar voice that called his attention. He turned to the security post and frowned when his eyes landed on the man. The security guard from the first time Lucas came to the man
Chapter 7: The Art of Seduction
The next day had come by quickly and by the time Grace had called Lucas’ room to tell him that someone was downstairs waiting for him, he was ready. Lucas grabbed his bags and headed downstairs, ready to start his new day in the same house he was mistreated in. “Damien Knox?” The man downstairs asked Lucas as he reached the lobby.“Yes. Did Mr. Tobias send you?” Lucas asked, eyeing the man up and down. “He did. Come with me.”Lucas waved to Grace for the last time before following the man outside and getting into the car that was waiting for them outside the building. As per the man’s request, Lucas sat in the back seat of the car.“There's bottled water and complimentary drinks in there if you want any. Courtesy of Mr. Graham.” The driver piped up, causing Lucas’ attention to turn towards the little snack box that sat in the middle of the SUV. He took one of the bottles, opened the cap and drank some water, feeling a bit refreshed after he did.The car moved on, weaving through the
Chapter 6: A Rollercoaster of Emotions
Soon enough, Lucas followed close behind Tobias as he showed him around the mansion, not that it mattered since Lucas already knew this house inside out. After all, it was his once upon a lifetime. The tour was over within an hour, as Tobias obviously didn’t show him every inch of the house. Just the parts he would be allowed to enter since he now worked for the family.“So, tell me, where did you learn how to do that?” Tobias asked Lucas as they walked out of the mansion and towards the cars lined up in front of the house. Lucas shrugged to show that it was no big deal, but his mind was racing to come up with an answer. Well, an answer that wouldn’t be too far off from what he wrote down in his application. It was one thing to lie, and then it was another to go completely off script.“I used to train a lot with my mother. Well, not training per se. She used to teach me how to use my gift and my father taught me how to refine them in case I got into trouble at school.” He somewhat li
Chapter 5: Trojan Horse
Three months later and an entire personality and physical change, Lucas was ready to go back for revenge. Hell, he was already in the same city as his old family, only a few streets away from them to give him a fair vantage point. In his time of waiting he had seen an ad by the Graham's, looking for some men to joing their security team. The security team would be with the Graham's for the most part and would be given quarters in the mansion. A tense thought but an opportunity that Lucas didn't hesitate to jump at to move to the next step of his plan. It took about a week for Lucas to actually get called back on the basis that he wanted to apply for the job with Graham's and another three days after filling out forms, submitting identifications, and undergoing a rigorous test to ascertain if he was fit for the job. On the other hand, Nicole was nowhere to be found in New York. Lucas had hired a private investigator to find her, but she hadn't turned up anywhere. It was like she disap
Chapter 4: A Path to Revenge
Lucas entered the morgue a damaged but somewhat clothed man ever since he woke up in the hospital room.The nurse led him towards the slab under the bright lights in the middle of the room. The same slab that had a covered dead body under it and somehow made the room of death seem even more daunting. Lucas winced at the slight pain he felt from his surgery stitches but he still pressed on. If the body under there was who he thought it was, then he had no time to stop. He needed to see her.They reached the slab and the nurse turned to him with sadness in her eyes. She bit her lip but still spoke to Lucas.“I asked for you to see her alone. Well, not alone since I’m here as your chaperon in the hospital. Is that okay?”Lucas gave her a nod, his eyes trained on the sight before him.“Are you ready or do you need some time?” she asked Lucas as she gripped one side of the sheet.“I’m ready,” he answered her, bracing himself for the revelation and at the same time hoping against hope that
Chapter 3: Realizing Betrayal
“Sit back down and die, worm.” Nicole’s words echoed in Lucas’s head.“What?” he managed to ask through the splitting pain in his head.“You heard me,” she said, her face devoid of any emotion. Lucas furrowed his brows, confused as to what was going on. The woman whom he had just proposed to, the woman whom he had promised the rest of his life to, had just told him to die. No, this can’t be right, Lucas thought to himself.Another sharp pain ran through his body and he screamed out in agony. His mother’s hands gripped his body in a bid to soothe his pain. “Nicole, what’s the meaning of this?” Marrisa asked.“Oh, shut up, hag. I’ve never liked you and tonight is the night I get rid of you and your sickly sweet son,” Nicole replied, her eyes menacing but true to her words.“Stop this, please,” Lucas heard his mother beg. She was probably confused but seeing the same changes he saw in his fiancee.“Restrain her,” Nicole ordered the men behind her who wasted no time in doing what they
