“You are here to get a meal?“ Sia could not help but laugh out loud clutching hard to her stomach while his eyebrow farrowed.
“Are you serious right now? You came here to get a meal? Can you stop being delusional already? “ She snapped swiftly, her facial expression washed with so much disgust.
He stared at her closely without spitting out a single word from his mouth.
He knew that she was trying as hard as she could to stare him up and his hands were clenched in an attempt to control his anger and maintain it all.
“You should start telling us the actual reason that you are here already rather than telling me that you came to get a meal.
If anyone is going to fall for that. Do you think that it could be me?“ I have known you for quite a while to know that your poverty can be equal to a stink from hell." Sia mocked him.
“I told you already that I came here to get a meal. Stop being so hard already and get me what I want.“ He replied but at this point, all the patience in his head was gradually beginning to wear out.
"And I am getting it at the Baccis section." He noted making her face twitch into a frown.
“Are you kidding me? I know that you came here to beg, however, you claim to want to get a meal.
Do you realise that section is only meant for people from the Starling family and it can only be gotten with a special card? “ She thundered at him, her face flushed with her.
But even with her outburst, Lucian was still able to keep his utmost calm.
Meanwhile, the conversation had already attracted people's attention.
They brought out their cell phones from their pockets to take photos of the epic moments.
“And what if I can afford it?“ He said, leaning forward and staring right into her eyes.
Everyone was surprised at the tenor of his voice and the confidence as he spoke. Like some worthy heir.
Chatters went around in the hall as the people continued to watch the events closely, waiting to see what was going to happen next.
“Since you want this. You are going to get it.“ She said,
“Get that particular card and I am going to kneel before you and call you Daddy.“ she responded.
"And don't think that you are going to be so Smart on this one. If you are not able to do it. Then you will have to take a clean test of my feet." There was a dark arch on Sia's lips as she spoke the words.
“Then we have a deal.“ Lucian replied to the surprise of everyone in the hall.
A swift gasp came from everyone who was standing around as they believed that he would never be able to afford such.
"What does he think he is doing?" Random words streamed into his hearings.
He placed his hand in his pocket and was stunned not to find it in the pocket he had it earlier. He immediately checked the other pocket and breathed out softly as his hand felt the card.
He brought out the card from his pocket, and Everyone was startled, letting out an exclamation that enveloped them all.
"Where and how could he even get that?" They inquired waiting to see how the drama was going to end.
Sia's eyes skimmed towards the direction with her heart racing fast.
“But how is that even possible?“ She thought with her face clouded with so much confusion, her eyes farrowed.
“How can I fall for this so easily? It's obvious that he stole it.“ She thought further.
“Where did you get that from? Tell me right away.“ She thundered swapping the card away from his hands even before he could tell what was going on
"Give that back to me." His face twisted into a scornful frown as his patients had eventually weirded off.
“And what are trying to do?“ He glared at her but Sia ignored every single question he asked
“Wait. What were you even thinking? That I was going to fall for this useless act of yours?“ She chuckled, making him even more angry than he was already.
“What are you trying to say, Sia? It's obvious that you are lost and you are just looking for a way to get away?" He fired at her and she bursted out into laughter.
" It's obvious you stole this card and ran down here for a free meal. Just take a good look at yourself. Do you think that you can afford this?"
Staring further at the card, she noticed that it didn't have elasticity. Her eyebrows furrowed as she turned over to the crowd.
"It's fake." She announced.
Chatters filled the hall and almost immediately followed by whispers and hisses.
"I knew that it was all fake right from the very beginning. How could he be able to afford it in the first place." The man that was standing close to Lucian finally said.
“You have so much audacity don't you?“ She accused him further.
“How dare you throw useless accusations at me?.“
“Don't worry. When I get the security, you are going to find out.“she replied.
Reaching out to the telephone,
she placed a call across to the security waiting for them to arrive.
“And as for this.“ She said, referring to the said forged card.
She ripped it apart almost immediately and threw it at him.
“Soon you are going to get arrested for forgery but before that, you will have to lick the dust off my feet.“ She said
Staring at the wristwatch in his hands, he realized that he still had a few moments to do what had to be done.
She already pulled out her feet from her shoes and poured water on them.
“Disgusting Lucian, I am waiting for you. Get this over with already.“ She growled.
“Not when I still have five more minutes.“ He replied.
“And what are you going to do? Forge another fake card?" She laughed but he ignored her words, bringing out his pocket and placing a call across to the lady Sydney
“Young Master Lucian.“ She picked up the phone and aimed as though she was waiting for him to make the call.
“I need you at the restaurant right this minute. The card you gave me has gotten me into trouble.“ He replied.
The words seemed to send a chill down her spine as there seemed to be a sudden pause from the other end of the phone.
"Are you there?" Lucian inquired quickly, snapping her off from her thoughts.
“Okay.“ Her voice was laced with fear and confusion. “I will be there right away.“ She replied.
Soon, there was the sound of a sleek BMM car outside and a lady who was the total definition of perfection walked into the place.
Everyone marvelled at the intimidating Aura of the lady that stood before them.
“Who is she?“ Heads turned from side to side wanting to know who the stunning lady was and who she came for.
"I'm so sure that she is at the gate with some wealthy billionaire." Gossip went around in the hall
"Young Master, are you okay?" Sydney ran off to him as soon as possible
Everyone in the hall was confused as they could not tell what was going on.
Soon, another swift pattern of feet's car crashed swiftly into the hall as though it was being chased by a ghost.
Sia pulled her eyes towards the direction of the familiar aura only to notice that it was that of the manager.
Her face softened almost immediately as the manager approached her and she smiled.
“Good day manager Kelvin. I wasn't expecting you to be here today…” She could not even get to finish her statement before he thundered like the clap of a lightning bolt.
“You fool. Which of you have angered the Young Master.“ His voice was laced with so much anger while her face was furrowed with so much confusion.
“I don't understand sir.“ The words sprouted out from her mouth but Mr. Kelvin sped off towards Sydney.
“Ma'am Sydney Walker. What's wrong? Your voice sounded way too urgent over the phone.“ He panicked.
“The assistant of the Lucian company?“ Gossip went around the hall.
Meanwhile, Sia shuddered. She never thought that she would be able to meet such a renowned dignitary before she died.
“Slap.“ A slap landed on the manager's face to the surprise of everyone in the room.
“Are you asking me that? You should be asking your employees and apologizing to Young Master Lucian.“ She thundered.
Without another thought, he fell on his knees and crawled toward Lucian
“Young Master Lucian. I am so sorry for causing so much trouble. Tell me what the problem is and I am going to get it settled.“ He said.
Everyone in the hall was startled to see the manager kneeling on the floor.
“How could this young man even refer to him as a young master?“ Gossip flooded the hall.
“Young Master Lucian?“ Sia thought that she could only be dreaming.
“It can't be possible. I have the history of this poor striker rubbish in my hands. There is no way that he could be a young master of anyone."They might have made a mistake.“ Sia assured herself, swearing under her breath that they had certainly made a huge mistake.Straightening up her shoulders, she advanced swiftly towards them while the attention of everyone was directed towards her.“And who are you?“ Sia was privileged enough for Sydney to speak to her, putting a swift smile on her face almost immediately.“I'm Sia. A dedicated employee of this company.““I just want to say that there are only two things possible in this situation. Either you have been fooled by Lucian or you must have made a mistake.“"He is no Young Master whatsoever and he is only hear to beg for free meals as he always does," Sia added hints of lies in the words that she spoke to spice things up.Sydney and Mr Kelvin's eyes farrowed almost immediately as they were speechless, not knowing what to say at th
“Okay, Young Master. Will get it done right away.“ An ever-loyal Sydney replied without asking further questions.Not because she was not curious but because she already knew too much about her young master's past and how he was treated by his wife and her family.Her hands were clenched with anger as she thought about what the richest man in the city had to go through in their hands."They deserve it," Sydney muttered under her breath with an air of hatred and disgust.Before the end of the day, she prepared the divorce agreement and presented it to him.Quite satisfied with her work, he appreciated her. The next morning, the only thing that he wanted to do was to get over that marriage as soon as he could.He took his bath, got dressed and had his meal after which he proceeded to their little Villa to get the work done as soon as he could “She doesn't deserve my love. I would have been behind bars now if Sydney had not come to my aid. Only to meet her on the bed with another man."
Taking the divorce papers away from him, Kelsea signed them without a second thought as her legs swayed gradually toward Melvin, kissing him right on the head.Without a second thought, Melvin fell to his knees and Lucian shot his eyes in surprise, confused at what was going on.As he watched, he brought out a ring from his pockets and drew it closer towards her as her face turned all red with a blush.“I have always meant to tell you this. I have always loved you but someone stood in the way.He stared at what was happening with so much disgust in his eyes."Will you marry me?" he asked "Yes. Yes." Kelsea's response was loud and dramatic, as though she wanted someone to hear it badly."I can't stand this," Lucian muttered under his breath.Making his way out of the little Villa, he could still hear Ella's voice bawling at him from behind but he ignored it.Getting outside, he continued to walk in his paths. Intending to see the secretary so that he would have some things with his co
"Young Master Lucian." Annabelle moved closer toward him, her eyes not daring to exchange contact with him as she shuddered."I'm sorry. It's all my fault." She was already shivering. "You can punish me in whatever way you please." She begged him but he only chuckled with his weak voice revealing how tired he was."I would prefer just Lucian without the titles. Can you do that?" He inquired staring right into her eyes.For a while, she could not believe the words that just proceeded out of his mouth.Her heart raced fast as though it was going to burst through."But she knew that whatever it was, she could not disobey her Young master."Yes, Young... I'm sorry Lucian." Her words broke into multiple stutters as she spoke."You should get up already." He helped her up.She could not believe the sight that lay before her as she tried to comprehend what was going on in her head."Could all of this be a trick?" She thought.When she heard that the son of the owner of the company who was th
Meanwhile, Melvin sat with Kelsea on the table as it was their custom.She stared at the phone contacts and noticed that it was her secretary."I told her to stop calling me when it's not work time." She frowned immediately, swapping left and replacing the phone with her purse after putting it on silent."Aren't you going to take your call?" Melvin, who watched the whole event unfold, inquired but she shook her head."It isn't important. Not as important as you are to me." He kissed her on her lips as they continued to chatSuddenly, Ella walked into the place with a troubled look hovering on her face, such that Kelsea had never seen beforeShe rose from the chair that she was sitting on swiftly still trying as hard as she could to make things out in her head."What's going on here?" She inquired, staring right into her eyes and waiting for a response. Instead, she placed her hands on her knees, trying as hard as she could to catch her breath."It's all over the news. Our company is g
Today is his third anniversary, and his happiness knows no bounds as he's eager to get home and surprise his wife with the gift he got for her.He was looked at as a wretched man but today is his anniversary, and third year at that so he wants to impress his wife.Lucian wants to make her the happiest woman on earth, not minding her ruthless attitude towards him, he wants to celebrate their day in a very good way. The whole family of Ashton went out for an event leaving Lucian at home who never felt offended as it wouldn't be the first time he would ever be treated like that.He served the dining table the last plate, and his eyes beamed in happiness when he heard the sound of the door opening."She's back,"Lucian walked over to the living room to see Ella entering, staggering as redness plastered on her small oval face."Oh, stupid Son-in-law, you are here! Mother did not take you out. What did I expect, you are a wretched man with no recognition, no benefits, and my sister marryin
There's nothing to listen to? Do it, take the blame. Lucian, you are now the driver of the hit-and-run case, an attempted murder, not Ella,”Lucian stared at her in shock, she was desperate to blame him.Kelsea suddenly held on to his hand as she looked into his eyes and went on explaining, “You know Ella has always been a stubborn girl from the onset, I admit you tried talking to her not to leave the house, but she ignored your words and left the house, take the blame and I will get the best lawyer that will bail you out,” Kelsea stated.Lucian looked at her, “I thought you loved me, is it not about time you pay me back for all the good deeds I have done for you? That cell isn't good for my sister, she has a bright future, so don't ruin it with your greediness,” Kelsea uttered, trying to calm him down.Lucian used his might to push her off his body, as she did to him earlier. “Where's Ella!!, Where's the person who committed the offence?” He asked, in a low tone.“She's in the villa,
Lucian got to the police station and was taken to the questioning room with his wrists still handcuffed.He was pushed down to take a seat, and an officer took a seat in front of him with a long slim table separating them.“What happened? Why did you run away from the crime scene? Was it intentional?” Lucian just stared at him for some minutes before proceeding to talk “It was not intentional. It was a hit and run, not intentional” Lucian said, trying to defend himself for the crime he did not commit.The police officer just kept pressing his laptop without glancing at Lucian. He spent thirty minutes in the questioning room before another cop came in.“Let me see,” the second cop beckoned to the first cop. They left to see each other and after a few minutes, the first cop came back and uncuffed Lucian.“Lucky you, the victim's family have agreed to a settlement,”Lucian's eyes widened, “Kelsea kept her promise but I never expected it to be this fast,” He thought as he stood up.Luci
