“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 the moment and stricken with so much shock
With the words, Sydney could feel her heart beating hard again in her chest as though it was going to burst through her chest.
She shuddered. She crawls against the roof of her mouth.
But Lucian assumed a strange calm, turning over to Sydney.
“She is the reason I called you.“ Lucian began.
“The invitation that I was given didn't have an expiring date. She tore it and said that it was fake.“ Even though his voice seemed almost calm, there was a trace of bitter anger in it.
Mr Kelvin could hardly believe the words that he just heard still trying to make things out
“Young Master. I am sorry.“ He apologized once again as he pulled off from the floor walking towards Sia and slapping her across the face multiple times until it swelled badly.
“So it's because of you.“ He slapped her even more on the face while her hands were tightened against the other end of the bad aching face.
“Do you realize that this is a VVIP of the company?“ Mr. Kelvin thundered. "And he could shut down everything in a blink?" He thundered, his voice laced with so much fury
“But how is that even possible?“ Confusion clouded her face but before she could finish the words that she was saying, a slap landed on her face.
“You fool.“ He thundered.
“Do you even realize the amount of the card that you just tore? That's a life ticket. Why do you think that it was not like every other card that is so hea? Hea?“
She could hardly speak now as it seemed as though she had been stripped of all her words.
Turning over to Lucian he said.
“I'm sorry, Young Master. Please forgive me. I will serve you myself.“ He said as he shuddered
“It's okay.“ He replied.
“But there is one thing that must be done first.“ He said.
“Say it, young master. Whatever it is, I will get it done immediately.“ Her words were swift, laced with so much respect.
He turned to Sia who stuck to her stance, unable to make out words to express her shock.
“We made a bet and you lost. I think that you should be ready to fulfil the end of the bargain.“ He said with a twitch in his brows.
Her face furrowed into a frown as she could never imagine herself kneeling before someone like him and calling him daddy.
She was hesitant, unable to step out from her circle.
“You have two of the two greatest people in the city staring at you right in the face.
Are you just going to keep standing there? Lucian shot a stared at her as streams of sweat gradually flowed down from the corner of her face
“Are you still standing there?“ Mr Kelvin roared at her as he didn't have as much patience as Lucian did.
At this point, she knew that there was absolutely nothing that she could do about it.
She walked gradually towards him and fell to her knees
“Daddy.“ She called out but even though he heard it perfectly, he pretended not to.
“I didn't hear you.“ He twitched his eyebrow and his expression was so calm.
“” Daddy.“ She called out again.
Just then the pattern of feet came into the place and turning around, Lucian noticed that it was the security officer.
Noticing the manager, they bowed slightly and said.
“Manager.“ They greeted.
The words were like stabs right through Sia's heart that she fell, kneeling on the floor, getting them even more confused than they were already.
“What's going on? We thought that something was going on here.“ They inquired trying to figure out what was going on
With her face laced with embarrassment, she shifted her gaze away from them but no matter how hard she tried, they could not help but notice how awkward she was in her distressed position
“She was the trouble here and also had the guts to make the young master go through so much stress." Kick her out.“ Mr Kelvin finally ordered and her heartbeat seemed to come off swiftly.
Her eyes widened with so much shock knowing that it was going to be difficult for her to get a job again.
“Please, sir.“ She wanted to apologize immediately but he would not listen to her anymore.
“This is the last chance you have to leave quietly, that's if you don't want to be out of the city.“ He noted.
With tears in her eyes, she was kicked out of the place.
Meanwhile, he apologised once again to Lucian and treated him personally to a meal.
After he was done, he thanked Sydney
“I am grateful for what you did today.“ He said.
“I should be the one apologizing young master for all the stress that you had to go through today.“ She replied.
They got closer to the car and got into it. She was driving while he spoke to her softly from behind.
“I don't want anyone to know about my identity yet. Something tells me that my enemies are still looking around, I need to be discreet.“ Lucian stated
At first, he thought that Lady Sydney was not going to listen to a single word that he was saying as he had always opposed him for taking home a thing or few.
“I understand Young Master and I am going to ensure that.“She responded.
For the first time in a long time, he drew a deep sigh, resting his head at the back of the car.
For the next Words that he wanted to sprout, flashes of the past flushed swiftly through his head as he shook them in better sorrow.
“I want you to get a divorce lawyer and prepare a divorce agreement. I need it by the end of today.“
“I have unfinished business to deal with.“ His hands were clenched with so much hate and disgust.
“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
He got outside, on the street and his phone chimed. He checked it to see an alert of billions.Before he processed anything, he heard a female voice. “Young Master”Lucian tilted his neck to the voice direction and saw a young woman staring at him.“Young Master, have you seen the alert?” Lucian looked at the young lady standing in front of him, looking surprised.“Did you hack my phone?? How did you know that I received an alert?” Lucian questioned, and the young Lady just bowed slightly“The $50 billion is just for you to do shopping”“ $50 billion to get new stuff?” Lucian exclaimed in total shock, and the young lady nodded, maintaining a straight face, not smiling.“ Yes, young master. This is just the tip of an iceberg, you have a lot of properties and wealth that you are not aware of.” The young lady said and started walking towards a black car.“Young master, can we go,” “To where?” Lucian questioned.“To your house, one of the houses you own. Like I said, you have a lot of p
