“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." Lucian growled and his face was already red with so much anger.
Getting over to Aston Villa, he could hear the loud sound of the music coming from the other part of the room.
“What are they celebrating again this time?“ He asked himself as he barged into the living room
A still silence engulfed the hall immediately they set their eyes on him, as though they had seen a ghost.
They were all seated including her new lover, wining and dining.
“I need to get this done as soon as possible.“ He said swiftly to himself with a frown on his face.
But it didn't seem as though any of them in the room were ready to spit out a single word from their lips.
Finally, a familiar voice that always sounded drunk came through. A voice that made the initial frown on his face deepened even more
“I told you guys to forget about that stupid drama he put up the other time. He is certainly going to be back. How can the broke asshole survive the harsh reality of the world.“ She laughed, clutching hard to her stomach until they ached.
But Lucian ignored her words, walking closer and closer towards them.
“And what's the trash doing here again?“ His mother-in-law growled with so much anger in her voice.
“I didn't come to bother anyone.“ Lucian replied. "I will get over this as soon as possible and you will never get to see my face again." He replied with a frown hovering on his face
“You are here to beg for money as always. But before you get along with that. I have some dirty clothes that need to be washed right now"
She noted but once again, she was ignored as he made his way swiftly towards the table.
Ella's face was washed with so much hatred and anger.
“Are you deaf or didn't you just hear the order I gave you?“ She thundered at him but he wasn't going to listen to a single word of what she was saying.
Her face boiled down with so much rage as she advanced slowly toward him, throwing a swift slap in his direction.
But before it could get to him, he held her hand and tossed her swiftly.
“Don't ever try that again.“ He snared.
Her lungs were stripped off of her and her heart racing fast.
Clara rose from her seat swiftly and thundered.
“You fool. What gives you the guts to think that you can do that to my daughter?“ She pointed at him.
Finally getting over to the table, he took off the divorce agreement from the bag that had always been with him and tossed it on the table.
“For you Kelsea.“ There was not even the slightest trace of any emotions in his eyes.
She read through it and hissed.
“A divorce agreement?“ She sneered.
“And what makes you think that you should get the divorce agreement.“
She was already thinking about divorcing him but to think that he was going to do it first tore her ego into shreds.
“You should sign the agreements already. Isn't this what you have always wanted? I overheard your little chat so why not just end this already?“ He inquired trying to keep down his outburst as much as he could.
“And what if I decide not to sign it? What are you going to do? Beat me up or what?“
“Then I will have to do it the legal way by getting a lawyer.“ He replied.
But immediately he spat out the words from his mouth, everyone burst out into laughter but that didn't matter to him as his heart continued to race fast.
"And you are so delusional to think that you can afford one?" She laughed harder.
“I don't have all the time in the world, Kelsea.“ There was a strange sense of Dominance in his voice.
She chuckled getting off her seat
“I will sign the divorce and you are going to regret it.
“Let's see how you are going to survive on the streets. Your one-way ticket to dying.“ Melvin laughed out loud thinking about how stupid he might be.
“And let's see how you are going to remain at the top.“ He replied.
More laughter proceeded from his mouth as he thought about how stupid he might be thinking that he could pull him off from the top.
“And how are you going to do that? Rob some of your poverty stinks on me?“ Melvin laughed even harder.
“Seat back and watch.“ Lucian replied with so much determination in his eyes.
Melvin stood up from the point that he was sitting, walking towards him, and staring at him right in the face.
“Do you realize who I am?“ He inquired.
“You are talking to the soon-to-be manager and a major investor at the biggest company in the city and once I get that position, you will be out of the city.“ Melvin threatens.
But instead of being afraid of those words, Lucian only chuckled at his stupidity.
A faint smile that no one noticed hovered on his face.
“Is that so?“ He thought in his head without letting the words out.
“You just made my job even easier for me.“ He thought with a dark smile springing forth on his face.
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
Lucian's hands ran through the outlines of the documents as the trickle of perspiration went down his spine.“But why did you hide this from me all this while leaving me to suffer the torrent of this world?" He could not help but inquire as the thoughts stormed through his mind multiple times but an explanation of it still refused to get into his head.His eyes seemed to be searching deep through her, seeking an answer and knowing that he was going to get it pretty soon, he was relaxed. “Because of the way your father died.“ She replied. But as much as he tried to think about it, he still could not get a grasp on what she was trying to talk about.“I'm confused. Can you enlighten me? What has my father's death got to do in all of this?“ He replied swiftly, his hands running through the last details of the documents as he returned them to the table that lay before him.Lucian's heart was racing fast as though it was going to pop from his chest as he continued to stare at her, waiting
