Blake drove back to the Belcraft mansion in search of Denver just as Lucas had commanded. They met him walking into the mansion with a mischievous smile on his face. Lucas could tell that he was up to something just as he observed him. He remained silent as Denver made his steps into the mansion, failing to notice the presence of Lucas and Blake at the garage. “He is definitely up to something”, Blake said in a whisper and Lucas nodded in affirmation. “How do we find Emily?” Blake asked again and for a moment, Lucas was lost for words.He drew in a deep breath after which he shifted his eyes to Denver’s car that was parked by the corner. “We should plant a tracker on that. It would help us follow him around”, Lucas suddenly blurted out the minute the thought clicked into his head. Blake smiled in understanding and lowered his head in respect. Lucas waved at him to get to work just as he sauntered into the building to catch a glimpse of what Denver was up to. He heard muffled v
Emily lifted her head the moment Denver walked into the room and poured a bucket of water on her. He came with her with his real face this time, not under the cover of a mask or a blindfold over her eyes. “I’ve always known that it was you. You are the one responsible for all of this”, Emily barked angrily as she rolled her eyes at Denver who was smiling mischievously. “I bring you news from the new couple in the city. I mean, Lucas and Ann”, Denver dropped and for a minute, Emily thought that she had just heard wrongly.
Emily held on to Lucas as though her life depends on it. She had tears running down her eyes and so did Lucas. “Let’s get out of here”, Lucas said with a voice that sounded like a whisper just as he held her hands and slowly led her to his car. Emily couldn’t contain her joy. She looked at Lucas for another time, trying so hard to think of how he was able to escape and come over to her, despite the fact that he was preparing for his wedding with Ann. “Thank you”, she said in a voice that sounded like a whisper.
Denver was distraught and frustrated. He couldn’t place his hands on how possible it was for a strange man to walk into the scene and grab Emily. He thought that he had her at the tip of his fingers but it was beginning to look as though that wasn’t so. Whosoever it was that threw that stunt was fierce and sharp. He was fast and deadly. That was something new. Denver was distraught and frustrated. He couldn’t place his hands on how possible it was for a strange man to walk into the scene and grab Emily.

That was something new.
Lucas took Emily to his secret house by the river shore. His grandfather had told him that he would take full ownership of the house the minute he gets married to Ann. However, Lucas had sneaked into his office and taken the keys where he hid them. That was going to be their hiding place right until everything got sorted out. “This place is pretty cool. Are you sure that you’re meant to be here?” Emily asked as Lucas led her into the small but fancy house, facing the ocean and perfect for the eye view. “What do you think? I had to steal the keys because I was certain that his eyes would never go that direction”, he explained to Emily who sighed deeply and lowered her eyes to the ground. She was deeply bothered by the turn out of events and most especially, she was worried for Lucas. She never wanted to place him in a situation where his position as the heir would be in trouble. “Lucas…you’ve done enough for me. However, I’m beginning to think that it’s going too far. I wouldn’t w
Denver was smart in his games. He already knew that if Lucas eventually succeeded with rescuing Emily, he would lead her to a place no one would ever think of. This made him embark on a research to discover places Lucas had which not a single soul knew about. He wasn’t quite successful with this research because despite how he tried to find this out, he ended up at a blank page. The spies he kept on Lucas turned out to be his savior because they informed him the minute the caught sight of Lucas heading towards a location by the sea.
Lucas sat before his grandfather, with tears trailing down his eyes. He had no idea of what to say but a lot of thoughts clouded his heart. He drew in a deep breath and wiped a single tear off his eyes as he looked as his grandfather again. “And what did you say happened?” His grandfather asked again, with a cold stare that sent cold shivers down Lucas eyes. He gulped. He was certain that his grandfather already knew every details about what happened but only wanted to hear it off his lips. “I’m so sorry, grandpa…”, Lucas started, still nursing the pain of Emily’s death that happened right before his eyes.
Denver let out a small chuckle when he saw the text message that came through from his grandfather. He knew that this was going to be a long one but he was fine as long as his secret was yet to get blown off. “I will be there right on time”, he typed in the response on his phone after which he let out a deep sigh. Emily had been so close to figuring out his truth and he was just glad that he was able to put an end to it. She was dead now and she was dead for good. Now, he had enough time to proceed to the next plan on his plate which was becoming the CEO of Belcraft.
