THE HEIR OF BELCRAFT

He got on his bicycle and headed over to Ella's Suite.They did not live in the same place. He was a student, and could not afford enough money to get a house for himself, so he had to beg one of his course mates to let him squat in his dormitory for a while.And fortunately for him, he accepted, but he had to do some odd jobs for them. He didn't care though …as long as he was going to have a place to hide his head for a while.Halfway through his journey, he stopped. He had to call Ella first before he stepped into her suite, and from the last time that he checked, she was not a fan of the announced visit.He brought out his little Nokia phone from his pocket and quickly pushed her number into it.For some reason that he could not tell, his heart was beating fast as though it were going to burst through.He waited for a while, but she wasn't picking up the calls. He tried again, and she still wasn't picking up.“What could be wrong?” He thought in his head, perplexed.He did not kno

Ella walked away from him and walked towards Thompson, who hugged her tightly.Lucas stared at the vacuum that she had created right before him. He could feel his heart beating so hard that the sound of it was rising to his hearing.But he could not let it end just like that. He was tired of being such a coward, constantly trying to back out of a fight because he was poor. He thought that going into a fight was only going to get him into trouble.Likewise, he could feel the Adrenaline gushing into his blood streams so hard and bad that he could hardly breathe.He clutched his hands and his feet made a rumbling sound as he stamped them on the floor while walking towards Ella and Thompson. They stared at him for a while, perplexed about what it was that he was about to do.“Get your hands off, my lady.” He growled at Thompson, pushing him away from Ella just as she shot him a really weird stare.“And what is it that you think you are trying to do?” She asked, with so much hate and disgu

Lucas stared at them for a while, still lost in shock. He attempted to come down from the bed and this time, his only option was to run away because this was beginning to turn into a nightmare gradually."Sir, I am sorry but I think that there is a mistake somewhere because this can not be true. Just look at me. I am a nobody and how can I possibly be your grandson? I wish it was true but there is no essence of deceiving myself." Lucas shot the words swiftly out from his mouth, but Lord Randolph's lips only broke into a smile."I know that this would be hard for you to take in all at once so I am going to be patient with you." He mumbled."Just calm down and you are going to realize what I am trying to put across to you." He assured Lucas and he sat back waiting for the explanation that was going to justify this calm."So your father, my son, was the heir of the company. The only heir but that was before his death." He began and his voice broke.It seemed as though this son or Lucas'

Lucas looked up at the list of things that he had to do for the day. First, he had to visit his grandfather's legendary company so that he would be shown around. And get to know it.He could not wait for the thrilling experience. He had always heard about the Belcraft company from people who had gotten the opportunity to go in.And opportunity, it was a whole more like a thousand chains of connection before you could get yourself in there.And as a poor guy that he was or used to be, the only thing that he had gotten to see was just the glimpse of the exteriorBut today, he was not just going to walk in it but as a heirHe got his bath and got into his torn clothes. It was the only thing that his hands could get to since he was yet to buy anything for himself with the money that his grandfather gave to him.And to make things even better for him, his bicycle was returned to him the previous day at his request.He got ready and he walked over to his bicycle, got into it and he began to

Mr. Blake called Lucas about fifteen minutes later. He had gone to do some research immediately Lucas asked him to.“Have you found out?” Lucas asked, with a deadly smile curved around his lips.“Yes sir… I’m coming to meet you right away”, Mr. Blake said, after which he dropped the call. Lucas looked around for another time before he started making his way out of the building. He loved being around it, but he wasn’t ready to tell the world that he was the heir.He met Mr. Blake on the first floor, just as he was about to make his way into the elevator. “I was coming to meet you, young master”, Mr. Blake said, with a small smile on his face. Lucas nodded his head calmly as he walked over to a chair at a corner not far from where they stood. “About Ella’s parents…”, Mr. Blake started, with Lucas staring at him attentively. “Their company is at the verge of running bankrupt. From what I gathered, they’ve been visiting the Belcraft group to gain favor and ask for help”, Mr. Blake ex
