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 company
His heart was racing fast as he walked through the streets and due to the taxi drivers nationwide strike, he could not get an Uber.
The sun was high up in the air and he growled.
"God dammit. I am going to be smoked to death."
But finally, he could see the company just before him
He brought out his cell phone to confirm that the person he wanted to meet at the company was there.
Getting over to the company, he could not help but marvel at the gigantic sight that stood high up before him
Even though he knew for sure that it was his. His heart continued to brew in his chest swiftly.
Surprisingly, there didn't seem to be any guards at the place.
"That's weird." He said under his breath but finally nailed it up on the fact that they might be expecting him.
But pushing closer to the company premises, a loud beeping sound echoed around him and a red light flustered around.
Confusion flooded his brain as he could not tell what exactly was going on.
Soon, a security officer fully came forward but immediately he set his eyes on Lucian, he sighed, dropping back the gun that he held in his hands.
"Oh my God. Not another one." He muttered with a hateful snare.
He Walked gradually towards the machine at the far end and turned it off and all the loud alarms died down almost immediately.
"I.." Lucian was about to speak but he would not allow him to spit out even a single word from his lips.
"You don't need to tell me who you are. I already know."
Lucian was already so tired just wanting to get over with all of that as soon as he could that he didn't notice the texture of his tone.
"Now that's great."
He muttered but not enough for the security officer to hear as he made his way towards the company but then, he was stopped by the security officer again.
His face was flushed with so much confusion as he shifted his gaze forward, as though he wanted an explanation.
"I thought you said you know who I was? I wasn't told that I had to go through a procedure." He frowned.
"Yeah. And I did not change my words.
You are one of those bums, thinking because this place Is the headquarters of the biggest company in the city, you can just come around anytime you want and beg for money."
His face was twisted with disgust.
His eyebrows furrowed with so much frustration."
"Not again this time." He muttered under his breath.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you but that isn't happening today. If you need daily bread, you can always look for a job or as you always do. Go to the street to beg."
The security officer responded.
Lucian straightened his broad shoulders and stared at the security officer right in his eyes.
"I'm not here for whatever it is that you just mentioned. I am here for business." He replied.
"Is that so? What business could someone like you have with the company." His voice was laced with mockery.
"Tell me huh?" He leaned his ears Forward, waiting for what Lucian was going to spit out next from his mouth.
"I want to see the Secretary."
Lucian thought that the security officer was going to have some trace of sense in him but immediately he spat out the words from his mouth, he busted out into laughter, so hard that a drop of tear streamed down from his eyes.
Lucian's tired teeth were now clenched with so much fury as he continued to stare at the display that stood right before him.
"I will have to admit that was a good joke." He replied, still trying as hard as he could not laugh.
"You are either the king of those beggars that always come here but if that's not the case this time, you are the king of comedians." He laughed.
With a frown on his face, his eyes zoomed off towards his wristwatch to see what exactly the time was
"I have other business that I want to attend to." He was able to keep his cool as he spoke.
"If you think that I am lying, you can always call her yourself." He replied.
Seeing how determined Lucian was, his face was twisted with so much anger.
"And what do you think? That I am going to fall for that?" He replied with a long hiss.
"Just take a good look at yourself. Do you think you are even worthy enough to clean the dust off my shoes?" He glared.
But Lucian was not moved by his words, even for a single moment as he leaned forward and finally said.
"Cleaning your shoes?" He scoffed.
"I will get all your family's worth in a flinch and it's not going to do anything to my standing." He replied.
The words that just proceeded from his mouth got the security officer angry.
"You know what. I have entertained your stupidity enough already.
I am giving you just five minutes to get out of this place or you will be sorry." There was an air of threat around his voice.
But even with these words, Lucian didn't seem like someone moving off from the spot that he was standing on.
"Do you worry?" He glared.
His anger was triggered and his facial expression was laced with so much fur.
"You wouldn't say that I didn't warn you." He growled, getting his cell phone out of his pocket and trying to place a call.
But for weird reasons, he paused and Lucian could not tell exactly why he did that.
Soon, the Swift pattern of feet made its way forward toward The scent felt like a smile from heaven, and Lucian was forced to turn around to see who it was.
His heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through.
His eyes met with a rare Gem standing right before him with all the sense of grace in every single step that she took.
The security officer seemed to shudder at her presence as she bowed slightly.
Her face deepened in sweat and her eyes moved around as though they were troubled.
"Good day, Lady Annabelle." He greeted
Even without saying it, Lucian could already tell that was the exact person that he had been looking for all these while and the security officer was preventing him from seeing her.
But for a response to his greetings, he got a thick slap across his face that got him startled.
Confused at what he might have done.
"You fool. What is good about the day after what you have done?" Another slap landed on his face.
His hands messaged the outlines of his aching face to reduce the pain as he continued to stare at the space like a lost sheep
"But what have I done?" His question was mixed with fear and confusion.
"Are you asking me that question? What have you not done? "
"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
“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
