Thompson paced around the school field as he recalled everything that had happened and how his family was also at the losing end. He had thought that this was just about Ella and wanted to opt out. But then, his family was involved too.“Shit!” He yelled in rage and slammed his foot on the ground, slightly wincing in pain. Why did he get involved in their mess? This was the question that swirled around his heart.Perhaps, if he didn’t promise to help Ella, none of these would have happened. Deep down, he blamed himself, but at the same time, he knew that there was nothing he could do besides dance according to the tune of the order.“This new heir…you are really something. Aren’t you?” He muttered under his breath, thinking of how someone would be so cruel to dish out such an order.“He doesn’t even know me!” He yelled as it kept sinking into his head that he had never met him for once in his life.After a long time of brooding, his eyes darted back to the school building, and he sta

Lucas got out of shower and slid into his normal old pair of pants and very rumpled shirts. He had a meeting with the board of directors but wasn’t ready to make his identity known.At this, he planned to go to a very discreet place where he could have the meeting online, without any form of distraction.He found an empty class and realized that it would be best for what he wants to do. Lucas wore his disguise; a very thick cap, a dark shades and a black hoodie. It was a virtual meeting, but he wanted to be certain that no one catches a glimpse of what he looked like. He placed his phone before him and looked into his camera just as they meeting venue came into view. “Hello everyone. It’s nice to finally meet the board and directors responsible for the progress of this company”, he said from his video end. He observed how each of them exchanged glances with themselves. It was clear that they expected him to show himself physically.“This is my regime and that simply means that I w

Lucas placed a call across to Blake when he got back to his room. As usual, his friends were out partying and that gave him the opportunity to spend some time with himself.“I have the next task for Thomas if he is still interested in winning my favor”, Lucas said, with a small smirk plastered on his lips. The conversation he heard earlier was just what he wanted to bring the both of them down. He knew that Thompson never loved Ella, but this was just the perfect example he wanted. “Tell him that he needs to do a video. He would tell the world the truth about what he feels about Ella”, Lucas dropped and for a minute, the line went silent. Blake was finding out to decipher what he was saying at the moment. But then, he took in a deep breath and wore a smile.“You want me to tell him that?” Blake asked Lucas who nodded his head in affirmation.“Please tell him that it has to be the truth because if he lies about it, everything would end. Tell him that I know the truth about the situat

Thompson was cold when he listened to all what Blake said on the call. "What the hell is going on? What do you mean by saying that the new CEO watched my live video?" He asked, with his heart beating out of his chest.He was scared and confused because he has never set eyes on the CEO but it felt as if the CEO was watching him every minute."That was his message. He wants you to tell her the truth and you have less than thirty minutes to do that", Blake divulged, leaving Thompson who stared into space.Thompson wiped off the beads of sweats on his forehead after which he tried to keep his heart steady.This was becoming tougher than he thought or imagined. A moment ago, he thought that he had regained his face and stand in the college. However, doing this would mean that he is going to be termed a liar forever."Shit!" He cursed, smashing his fist into the wall and wincing in pain. He made to reject the order but he knew that it would cause a great problem for both him and his family

Lucas walked into his grandfather's quarters, with a big smile on his lips. He pulled him into a warm hug after which he sat across him."Grandfather, you asked to see me", Lucas said as he looked at his grandfather with a curious look on his face. His grandfather looked at him and smiled softly. He couldn't help but feel glad that Lucas came into the situation just when he was needed."I've heard of how you've been dealing with dishonest people in disguise", he said to Lucas who took in a deep breath and nodded his head in affirmation."Aren't you ready to come out and show the world who you are?" He asked Lucas who stayed mute for a while, but shook his head negatively."I need to remain low for now. It would help me", he explained and his grandfather nodded in affirmation.Silence rented the atmosphere after which his grandfather cleared his throat and rested his gaze on him."You need to get engaged to someone. That would make you look a lot more responsible and would also streng
