Clara stared at Lucas. She wasn't expecting him to sign the papers. She thought he would beg, as he usually does whenever she threatens him with divorce.
“So he finally decided to sign the papers, huh?” Clara thought inwardly.
After Lucas finished signing the divorce papers, she yanked them off the table. “Be assured, I will never give you even a dime, since you signed the divorce papers.”
Lucas' silence made Clara's senses begin to reset. It was now that she started having these sudden feelings that all that Lucas was saying wasn't lies.
“Where the hell is my daughter?” she asked. But once again, silence was what Lucas offered.
Clara went over to Amanda's room but couldn't find her. She came back to Lucas and then dragged him by the shirt. “You motherfucker, where the hell is my daughter?”
Lucas' gaze lifted. “She's dead, and I swear I will make sure you pay.”
Before Lucas could realize it, Clara landed a series of slaps on his face. “How dare you say that to my face?”
She then picked up her phone and dialed Amanda's number. But the phone rang in Lucas's pocket.
“What?” Clara raised a brow, then dipped her hands into Lucas's pocket and pulled out the phone. “What are you doing with Amanda's phone? Where is Amanda? What have you done with Amanda?”
Lucas remained silent. Clara then pushed Lucas to the ground and ordered her butler to restrain him. She dialed the police number, then placed a call.
After reporting the situation to the police, she shifted her gaze to her butler. “Jason, make sure you restrain him tightly to the ground; the police will be here soon.”
Jason nodded firmly. “Yes, ma'am.”
Within a few minutes, the police could be seen coming into the mansion, and without a word, they took Lucas away and locked him behind bars.
The police questioned Lucas about everything that happened. He explained to them, and after investigating and finding out all that had happened was true, they had no choice but to let Lucas go, but before that, they requested that Lucas have some words with Clara.
“How did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?” Clara asked, without shame.
Lucas remained silent, without giving a word.
“You'd better have answers to tell my family member, because you won't get away with killing my daughter.”
The words from Clara cut deep into Lucas; he felt an intense rage surging within him. Even after seeing the clear proof that Amanda had died because of her insolent attitude, Clara still decided to put the blame on him.
Lucas stood up. “I'm done with this conversation.”
He intended to get another house and live alone. Though his ambition still remains certain, he must make sure Clara pays.
Lucas walked out of the police station. The police tried to talk to him, but he refused to give them a hearing.
Walking down the street, a car drove and parked in front of Lucas, blocking his path. And a man walked out of the car; he got closer to Lucas and then bowed his head.
“Sorry, sir, it's urgent; I have to take you to Mr. Derick now. He wants to see you.”
Lucas stared at the man, dumbfounded. The most annoying part about the man in front of Lucas, which had made it difficult for him to believe what he was saying, was that, he didn't only appear strange, but look like an assassin, and most of all claimed to be sent by Derick.
“Could he be sent by Clara to come kidnap me?” Lucas thought inwardly before rejecting. “I am not interested; even if Derick wanted to reach out to me, he would have used another means, probably through text.”
“He doesn't have time for that, sir,” the man sighed deeply. “Mr. Derick is dying; that's why he would like to see you. He believes you are his son and wants to transfer his entire ownership to you.”
After hearing this, Lucas somehow felt like believing the man. Though he has doubts, and suspicion flickered across his mind.
“Where is he?” Lucas asked.
“Thank you, sir, for believing my words. He's at his residential mansion. I can take you there. All you need to do is get into the car.”
The man gestured to the car he had parked just a few distance away from Lucas.
Lucas got into the car, and so they drove away. Some minutes later, the car arrived at a specific mansion.
The mansion looked high-class, beaming intensely with perfection. The building was as though made from heaven. Security could be seen from all angles, as if they were guiding the president of the United States. Though Derick's wealth is unmatched, the need for securities is high.
Lucas was led to a specific room, where he saw Derick storm, lying on the bed. He breathed heavily as he tried to speak.
Lucas couldn't hear what Derick was saying, so he moved closer.
“I know I'm not mistaken; it's definitely you, my long-lost son. I have less time to spend on earth. And I have passed all my will to you, you now own all my wealth, my companies, everything I had built over the years is definitely yours.”
Lucas never believed he would ever meet his biological father. He had also thought that the asshole that he had grown up with was his biological father.
Lucas softly grabbed Derick Storm's hands, and in that moment, he felt a glimpse of fatherly love smoothly carving into his heart.
Derick smiled at him. “Sorry for being absent throughout your childhood as a father. I always have regrets for that; every second I think about it. I love you, Lucas, and I want you to continue my legacy.
After saying these words. Derick passed away. Lucas saw how his eyes slowly closed, and he had a sudden urge to save his father, but the clear truth was that he couldn't.
He shifted his gaze to the man who had brought him to the mansion. “Why aren't you helping him? Let's take him to the hospital; maybe we could have a chance at saving his life.”
Lucas desperately spoke, but the man shook his head, and tears streamed down his cheeks. “I wish we could save his life, but that's impossible.”

Plan To Be Done
Billy chuckled, then sighed before standing up, he stared at Lucas and smiled before speaking. “I have done my part, now I want to leave. I have things to do.”The truck driver stared at both Lucas and Billy, he then bent down and grabbed the wine bottle on the table before gulping all the content down his throat.“Give me a few seconds, let me go get my jacket on..” the truck driver spoke desperately while flipping the fifteen thousand dollars he was holding in his hands, then walked like a triumphant king to his bedroom.After he was gone, Lucas stared at Billy, and Billy smiled. “I have no use here again, but at least I helped.”“Sorry for making things worse for you...” Lucas sighed with a slight shake of his head.Lucas had figured out since before now that he was the reason the man had no choice than to park out of the city, he had figured that the man was scared, and because of that the only choice left for him was to exit the city to a more safer place, Lucas must accept that
An Offer For Words
The man chuckled with a slight grunt, then continued speaking. “I was seated on my truck when a man walked up to me with an offer, he told me that if I can give him my truck, he will lend me five hundred dollars, I was startled for such an offer, my truck worth more than that amount, but in the next seconds, he pulled out a gun and pointed it to my head.”Lucas stared at the man as he explained, there’s nothing special in his explanations, if the unknown man who had approached him on the truck pointed a gun at his head, that means there’s nothing more he can know about the man except from what the man just said.The man then gently lifted the glass cup beside him filled with wine before sipping it down his throat.“Is that all you got?” Lucas suddenly asked.The man had figured that Lucas would ask, he casually sneered before replying. “No that’s not all, and besides I can’t just let someone who had put a gun into my head go free, without knowing who he is?”After the gun was pointed
Telling All You Know
After the word from Billy rang out, Lucas hastened his step and got into the room. The old truck driver offered them a seat, thereafter he brought a bottle of wine and poured it into the two glass cups on the table, then sat at the other free seat, situated at the middle of the table, where Lucas and Billy were seated.He took a deep breath, then let out a gust of air from his lungs before asking, “So what holds me this visit?”Lucas leaned forward to speak, but Billy interrupted. “We are here to strike a deal.”Lucas snapped a bit, staring at Billy, confused. He wanted to tell the man what was the reason he had come to see him, but the sudden interruption was just so absurd that Lucas didn’t see it coming.At this point, Lucas had thought that the man must have something in mind, probably using him to strike a deal or something worse.After this thought ran through Lucas’s mind, he immediately fixed himself into an alert mood to react to any negative energy focused towards him.Billy
Truck Driver
Billy squinted his eyes as he gazed at the picture, and at some point, he stood still, startled if he knew who the man in the picture was, and after a minute of gazing down at the picture, a light of realization suddenly burst into Billy’s mind about who the man was.He gazed up at Lucas. “Why are you looking for him? Hope you aren’t putting me in more problems?”Billy wanted to make sure he confirmed before telling Lucas any information about the man. At this point, Billy doesn’t want to put himself in a situation where he will be the path of so many people’s death.Lucas sighed. “I just want to ask him something. I think the man who had entered the truck before he went out should be the killer of my daughter.”“And then what else you want to do? Blame the old man, that he is the killer? He didn’t do anything wrong. The killer used his truck and committed the crime, nothing else.” Billy cut in with his voice, making Lucas pause a bit.Lucas became pale at some point but immediately s
Staying Safe
The rage piling up inside Lucas at the moment was just so tense that he felt like blasting out. Every moment he thinks of the death of Amanda being orchestrated, he felt like his heart was burning, and with that he keeps reminding himself of how brutal he will be to whoever was involved in her death. It might be a coincidence, but even with that, he wants to know who the truck driver was, the exact person who had committed the crime.The next day, Lucas’ sweat dripped with anxiety. He had nothing in his mind less than to figure out who was the person behind Amanda’s death. If he could get the face of the person who had rode the truck, then he could at least know what to do next. A person can’t just do such a thing out of mere coincidence, not after seeing the footage that clearly shows that he had stolen the man’s truck just to commit the crime.Lucas stood in front of the restaurant he had visited a few days ago, but something was off this time. The restaurant wasn’t supposed to be c
Digging Deep
One of the main reasons the old man had decided to help Lucas was because he had suspected him to be the almighty Dominance King, which is the son of Derick Storm, and he had suspected that any good he did to him now, the son of Derick Storm would always pay back the good.Additionally, the man didn’t just do what he did without a backup plan. He had decided to end his restaurant and relocate to another place. He had that in mind for a long time, but now he had wished to put it into action. Though the man didn’t mention any of this to Lucas, he wanted everything to play out in a silent way no one would know about.Lucas turned to the old man. He gently bowed before speaking. “I really appreciate all you have done, and I will as well reward you.”Lucas meant his words. For the man to risk his own life and the life of his daughter just to lend out information that he wasn’t supposed to was something Lucas wasn’t expecting.After the man heard what Lucas said, he gently turned and left.
