Blake went quiet for a few minutes before he responded. "She ran out of the hospital in shock,"Goddammit! Lucas muttered to himself when he realized what had happened. "She has found out your true identity Sir," Blake added in a calm tone.Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.He tried to sit up but he couldn't. Lucas gestured to Blake to help him sit up.When he'd rested his back to the bed, his mind flooded with so much thought. What the hell was he thinking when he called her to the mountains. Even if he'd called her, he should've disposed of the mask properly. Now that she's found out, things were about to take a drastic turn–which wouldn't be good for them.Lucas looked around the room, searching around for his grandfather. "Where is he?" He questioned.Blake gave him a curt bow. "He left for the mansion but will get back tomorrow morning," he assured Lucas who just gave him a curt nod.The doctor came around to check up on him and make sure he was responding to treatment. "You'll be due to leave

All of Emily's joints ached. The bed was hard and sturdy— like rock. She tried to stand up but her legs felt heavy, like iron bars were fixed into them.She looked around. Contrary to what she first thought, it wasn't her room. She was sitting outside her house and her head ached so badly. Emily rubbed the side of her head, it ached too."What the hell am I doing here?" She asked herself in confusion. Why was she outside her house and why does it feel like she got drunk.It was known to everyone—Lucas that she was lightweight. She took caution and didn't drink in public. Something other than getting drunk happened. What it was, she couldn't even tell. Emily managed to rise to her feet and went inside the house before either her stepmother or sister, worse of all her father saw her in this state. She carefully pushed the front door open. She let out a long string of curse words when she discovered that it was locked. Emily dragged herself to the other side of the house. She heaved a d

Chapter 8Denver moved closer to them. "Father, leave him be. He wabts to drag the families reputation to mud. I wonder why you gave him the opportunity to even fight for the right to be heir to Belcraft group," he snickered.Just great! It has escalated to a point where Denver would look him straight to the eyes and challenge him."Emily is nothing but a worthless piece of—" Denver hadn't even completed his statement when Lucas charged towards him with so much force. He punched Denver hard in the face,so hard that Denver sprawled to the bare ground. Lucas grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. Denver struggled for air and to let loose from Lucas grasp but the more he did, the more Lucas tightened his grip around his neck."Get Emily's name out of your damn mouth," Lucas spat and shoved Denver aside forcefully he came crashing on the huge mahogany table.Their Grandfather stood up and stomped his feet angrily on the ground. "Stop this madness this instant! What has gotten into yo

Emily's eyes became bright with unshed tears. "Lucas, you have to believe me. I don't know how those pictures got to the social media,"Lucas believed her. Emily wasn't the kind of girl that was capable of doing such. "I know Emily. I know, there's a mix up somewhere and it all points back to…""Denver…" the both of them said I'm unison."And what the hell are you doing here?" Lucas' grandfather's voice echoed from behind them. Emily turned around to see the old man's face contorted into a deep frown.She opened her mouth to say greet him but words weren't forming. "I asked you a question," the old man repeated. He wasn't happy to see her and he didn't try to hide it. Emily wished for the ground to open up and swallow her. Anything that would make her escape the old man's wrath. None of that happened."Father, she came to see–" Lucas tried to defend her but his father stopped him right before he could finish his statement.The old man raised his hands to him. "Let the young lady sp

“And whose voice is that?” They heard their step mother’s voice and immediately, jerked up. “You need to leave immediately. I wouldn’t want you to get entangled in all these. Please take your leave”, she said and looked at Lucas who was staring at her with a pitiful gaze. He wanted to help her out but had no idea of how to do that. “I will see you in school tomorrow. Please take care of yourself and remember to keep the secret away from the ears of anyone”, Lucas said to Emily who nodded her head and gestured for him to quickly take his leave. Her step mother walked in at that point, staring at her with a dead glare and rolling her eyes in disdain. “You were obviously talking to someone. Who was that?” She asked Emily who gulped down hard and turned to look at her. “It was…nobody”, she replied. ***Emily got to school the next day and met Ella waiting for her by her desk. She could tell that something was wrong, but she wore a straight face that made it look as though she wasn’
