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.
Sweats rolled down from the corner of his head as he rode to his workplace as fast as he could.He could feel his heart beating against his chest as though it were going to burst through because he knew that he was already late. He was late because he had gone to his girlfriend’s house to help her do their dishes. Likewise, he had to wash her clothes and prepare a meal because it was a weekend.But he did not care about all this, he loved her so much, and he could give in anything just to make her comfortable in his life. Besides, she is the only one who has ever accepted him into her life.Right from the day that he was born, he has been ridiculed and despised by everyone around him, and they often saw him as someone who was running crazy because of the torn clothes that he always wore.Lucas Randell drew a really deep breath. He continued riding on his bicycle as fast as he could.An air of relief escaped from his mouth when he saw the company that he worked for as a daily delivery
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
He stared at the bracelet in his hands as he rode over to the giant hotel as fast as he could.His heart was beating fast, and he was trying as hard as he could to believe that whatever it was that he just heard about Ella, was certainly not true.But when he got to the hotel, he saw her car there and his heart skipped countless beats that he was already gasping for breath.He froze on the spot for a while, and he could not even limp as his brain was still trying hard to process what was going on.“It can't be true that she is cheating with someone else. It has to be that this is a mistake and nothing more.” He thought silently.He was confused now as he did not want to go in there and meet with the sad truth that was going to be more like a shocker to him… draining all the life that he had left in him.But he decided otherwise. If she was cheating on him, it would be better for him to catch her red-handed rather than just assume that she is cheating on him in his head.He proceeded i
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
