Chapter 143
CHAPTER 143There was a soft groan as Elsa rolled on her side.Her eyes slowly fluttered open. "Where am I?"Then, slowly, like a puddle being pierced together, she remembered the last thing that had happened to her.She had left Lucian's office since he was too busy and worried to have her time.Desiring a cup of tea, she was headed to find the kitchen in the large mansion when she had slipped.Her hand flew to her head."I don't feel much pain," she observed gratefully.Her body also felt strronger.Somehow, being on that bed remained her of the unpleasant memories of her time at the hospital.She threw her legs off the bed, jumping up instantly.Her feet caught something, making her almost slip again but she was quick to hold the edge of the bedside.Her mouth moved inaudibly in a curse until she realised it was Lucian's foot she had nearly tripped over."Lucian?"He was fast asleep in the chair beside her bedside.Had he been there all night?His stiff and uncomfortable posture wa
CHAPTER 142
CHAPTER 142Lucian let out a sigh of frustration.Five hours! Five good hours of searching through the insufferable will that his father had left for some loophole of any sort.However, it was like Aurora had said to him over the phone before he had summoned her over to his office.The will was all binding.His father had just proved to him that he was the progenitor of the wisdom that Lucian had."So... Boss, what's the plan?" Aurora picked her words carefully.Lucian's eyes flickered to her, making her recoil slightly at the expression on his face.For the first time in a very long time, he was at his wits' end.The weight of his father's demand pressed down on him so heavily like chains.His mind jogged down memory lane to his father chastising him for his actions.(Many years ago)"Deal closed, dad," younger Lucian boasted, his smirk wide.He dropped the documents in his hands on the desk.His father stared up at him, his expression one of curiosity."Really? And Hannah?"Lucian
CHAPTER 141
CHAPTER 141Despite his voice was gone from his screams, Kelvin screeched loudly."What are you doing?!" But the men refused to respond until they had completely drenched him with the gasoline in their hands.Just then, Lucian appeared in his line of view."W-What is this? I have already signed all of my businesses over to you! What are you doing?!""That doesn't matter." He tossed a matchbox over to Kelvin whose eyes widnened. "Light it."The latter shook his head violently, shivering with new found fear."I gave you everything. Didn't you promise to spare me if I signed my company to you?!"Lucian shook his finger in the negative."I didn't say I'd let you live. Signing the document only decided who would inherit your empire, not that I'd spare your life."Despite his rage and frustration, Kelvin's palms clasped together in a plea."Don't kill me. Please, don't do this to me. I can die now. I don't want to die!"He crawled over to Lucian, grabbing him by the foot, not ashamed nor c
CHAPTER 140
CHAPTER 140Kelvin Bullock sat high and mighty in his seat in the conference room, his expression dark and cold."Why are you slobbering like a child? Is this how you want to move my company forward?!" He snapped at the manager who was giving a presentation.The manager's face turned white at the deadly expression on Kelvin's face."I-I'm sorry, sir. I think I'm just not feeling too well today."He was sick.. sick of Kelvin's harshness.Kelvin narrowed his eyes. "And why is that supposed to be my business? You know how much I hate the sluggishness!"Nodding sharply, the manager swallowed, turning to resume his presentation.Just the eyes of Kelvin watching him like a hawk was enough to make him want to crawl into a hole and hide."S-So I was saying -"Just as he moved back to the previous slide to explain it all over again, the door to the conference room flew open.The force with which it was opened ruined the hinges from which it swung.Kelvin jumped to his feet sharply, his gaze in
CHAPTER 139
CHAPTER 139Tension lingered in the car between Elsa and Lucian as they sped down Z+ city.She stole a glance at Lucian whose eyes were fixed on his phone sharply.There was no smile on his face.After Elena was thrown out, the event had continued peacefully.Lucian had even smiled at her and thanked her for coming.But now that they were in the car, he had barely spoken a word to her.Clearing her throat, she prepared to ask him the very question that had plagued her for a long time since he suddenly disappeared.Raising her head and folding her hands, she started."It's not fair, Lucian."He turned to her, his brows raised like he had no clue what she was talking about."What's not fair Elsa?"With a pout, she responded, "You just suddenly disappeared from A+ city, leaving me all alone. Do you know how long it took me to find you?"He sighed. But she wasn't done."Why didn't you tell me what was going on? You could even have taken me with you." Her eyes had gotten teary as she spo
CHAPTER 138
CHAPTER 138Gerald's face burned with humiliation as he held the feather.His hand trembled with shame as he slowly brought it down.What in the world?A hundred million dollars for this?He gritted his teeth, his anger now uncontrollable and raging like a storm.With his hands clenched into fists, he turned to the host."You liar and deceiver! You stole my money by selling me something fake and obviously dead!"The host started at him in confusion. "We didn't sell you the wrong thing. We're equally -"Before he could even complete his sentence, Gerald had rushed towards him.Grabbing his shirt by the collar, Gerald growled angrily, "I need a refund NOW! You can't just take my hundred million dollars and give me this rubbish!"The host struggled to free himself from the angry Gerald's grip.Chaos ensued again with the drama as everyone wondered what had happened.The feather had looked perfectly okay until Gerald had touched it.Could it really have been fake?The murmured under their
