Chapter SIX

Lucas finally lodged at a hotel where he had a warm bath, some good food and a change of clothes before going over to the betting company where he signed out some documents and then to the factory where he worked. 

He went over there in search of Fabian at work who had advised him to play the bet even though it was his last earn, but it turned out that he had just been fired, even searching for him where he squatted in the past, but he had also been vacated there. 

There was a flash of frustration and disappointment in Lucas' eyes, he wanted to share this happy moment with the only one that has been with him through all thick and thin but fate decided to play a fast trick on them. 

He sat in his hotel watching TV and he saw an advert for the annual gathering of the Coopers family.  He muttered to himself, these people haven't changed their old ways, common gathering is on the news. 

"Lucas, this is the time to pay these people their coins, take back what they had taken from you in the past, the business that your mother revived and you got framed by them in order not to benefit from your mother's sweat." A voice echoes to Lucas's ears. 

"This is going to be fun, Mother, and Father,  it is time to be proud of your son. Just let your angels protect me from heaven," he smirked 

"Let me get the plan to bring them down one after the other. I need to look rich," he said sarcastically. 

He picked up his phone and dialled the sales manager of Abby Motor to deliver a Rolls Royce Phantom to his hotel. He had worked at Abby Motor and he was familiar with the latest car. 

Rolls Royce Phantom is a luxurious and prestigious vehicle known for its exquisite design, advanced technology, and unparalleled comfort. With its powerful engine, handcrafted interior, and attention to detail, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is a symbol of wealth and refinement. 

He told the manager to call the CEO of Abby Motor to confirm payment of 2 billion dollars for the motor and to send an electronic receipt with the name Lucas Cooper to his email. but the manager was surprised that this man never asked for account details. He never knew that Lucas had information about the company at hand. 

"How would he make the transfer? Also, he bears the same name as the stupid smart boy who almost took his manager position. Maybe he is another scammer out there," he said to himself 

The manager's phone rang 2 minutes after he ended the call with Lucas. Abby Toyle called to praise him that he sold the car within two days because he had received an alert of 2 billion dollars and he was going to tip him 1% of the profit for a job well done and the advert budget for the car goes to his pocket too. 

He quickly called Lucas back to inform him that he had seen his payment and that he was willing to deliver the car himself to build a relationship with him. He promised him on the phone to get him a driver who would drive him for free for a year. He never got a reply from Lucas before they hung up. 

  

Lucas was thinking about his plan to take back what belonged to him and his heart reflected on the humiliation he had received from Lydia and her family for the past 3 years living with them. His phone beeped signalling new incoming calls,  it happened that the manager had arrived with the car. 

It beeped for 30 minutes before Lucas could pick it up and he walked down to see his purchase. 

The manager who had been waiting for the past 30 minutes looked back and saw Lucas walking towards him, he got angry at the sight of Lucas and demanded for Lucas's boss. 

"Hey Lucas, what are you doing here? He asked

 "I came for the car," he replied. 

"Oh, you are his driver, it is well, I pray he should not sack you because I brought him a good-looking driver. You are handsome too but poverty has taken unending journey in your life and I'm sure it is not going to stay away from you. Please help me call your boss, I need to see him in person". He smirked. 

Lucas dialled his number as he was returning to his room, and the manager picked up the call desperately. 

"Hello sir, please sir,  I want to see you in person because I have a lot of packages to deliver to you." He said 

Lucas looked back and faced him while talking to him on the phone.

 "I will forward my account details to you, kindly forward it to your CEO and transfer my 2 billion dollars back." he ended the call immediately. 

The manager was shocked as he got to know that Lucas was the owner of the car and he had disrespected him to get angry. He knew Lucas was never easy to deal with even when he had nothing, but now that he could afford a 2 billion dollars car, he was definitely out of his reach. 

He began to sweat in winter and took off his coat immediately, he followed him to him so that he could know where he entered and he started begging him on his way back to his room. 

Lucas didn't utter a word, as the manager was saying horrible things to himself to pacify him. He opened his door, waved bye-bye to the manager and smiled at the manager as he entered his room leaving the door closed. 

He remembered that he had nothing to wear tomorrow and he called the Manager of Sally's home of fashion for the latest Gucci designer black suits, Rolex silver watches and Gucci shoes. Everything is 30 million dollars sir, the manager replies on the phone.  

"Send the account details and I will transfer it right away," he said, ending the call. 

Abby's motor manager was kneeling at the entrance of Lucas's room and eavesdropping on his conversation with Sally's home of fashion, he then realised that Lucas was no longer the person anyone could humiliate again.
