Lucas dashed out of the event premises, still in his disguise. He felt so bad that he was leaving in such manner, even if his grandfather went all out to ensure that the event turned out to be the best ever heard of. Emily seemed to be the priority at the moment and he was willing to give up everything for her. His phone beeped again and a message popped up. “Ensure that you are alone. She would be killed the minute we realize that you are with someone else”, the message said and Lucas gasped in fear. He tried so hard to rack his head and think of who might be doing such a thing, but the more he tried to think, the more confused he got. “No police. I promise. Just ensure that she is safe”, he sent a quick message back to the number that texted him. After a while of driving, he arrived at what looked like an old building. It had different wreckage and looked entirely desolated. He met a man by the gate, holding a gun and pointing it at Lucas who had his hands raised to the air.

Lucas was still on the ground when Emily walked over to him, with a small bruise on her face. She had gotten the bruise after falling to the ground somewhere in the room. “Lucas!” She called out and ran over to meet with him, tears rolling out of her eyes and excitement crawling to her heart. He pulled her into a warm hug and for the next minute, they remained in each others arms. “I got so scared. Did they hurt you?” Lucas asked as he caressed her cheeks lovingly. She shook her head negatively and looked at him intently. She could tell that he did something huge to get her out.

“Well, someone decided to finally join us.” Denver's voice boomed, filling the dining room. “Isn't that lovely, grandpa?” He asked, smiling at his grandfather. But the old man didn't give a response. He just kept on having breakfast. It was already morning in the Belcraft's house, and Lucas was strong enough to join the rest of the family for breakfast. Despite not having a pleasant night, he couldn't deny the burning hunger. The moment he heard Denver's voice, he groaned. Couldn't he get by a day without Denver in his way? He had not bargained to have breakfast with Denver around, knowing how much he loved playing his games. However, his hunger was greater. So, he dragged his chair out and sat. At the sight of the enticing meals set on the table, his mouth watered. “Do you like what you see? I understand that since you had been living in the slums, you might not have seen food like this.” Denver said, snickering. He knew perfectly that his words were directed at him to hurt him b

“What a lovely surprise! I didn't expect you to really come.” Denver said as he dragged out a chair to sit across Emily. She watched him with clear disgust visible on her face. Meeting with him had never been something she had thought of doing for a long time since she knew about him. But, sometimes, one had to sacrifice. He drew himself closer to the table, almost choking himself. While he bent over to her with a smile on his face. “Why did you ask to meet with me? Have you decided to leave Lucas?” He smirked, chuckling a bit. “You'll be so dumb to think I'd ever do that.” She finally spoke. Immediately, he let out a loud laugh. The more he acted nonchalant and happy, Emily found herself getting extremely irritated. “Nothing is funny.” She stated. “Oh, a lot of things seem funny to me here.” He said. “Have you seen your face?” He asked immediately. She hissed and turned to look out the window. To avoid any complications or misunderstandings, she had chosen to meet with him in

As soon as he watched her board a cab back to her place, he was set to get back inside. However, he wasn't cool with the idea of her going back home, especially after the big fight with Claire. They had not settled the issue yet. And from what it looked like, Claire was not lending her a listening ear. Besides that, he should have followed her home too. They had to begin safety measures after the kidnap issues. But as usual, Emily had stubbornly disagreed. One way or the other, his pleas for her to stay back to spend the night with him didn't work out. She believed she could sort out whatever issue she had with Claire. But, he was aware that her strong reason for not wanting to stay back was because of his grandfather. She knew he hated her and would chase her out if he saw her in his mansion. Or, he could even do worse.With that in mind, he knew he had to work on a plan to make his grandfather see Emily as a better woman for him and not a slut he thinks she is. It was time they cle
