Chapter Eleven; A Commotion In The Hospital “Yes that right but how come? Don’t you think he looks like the Baron’s?”“You’re right, maybe he is an illegitimate child”“I wouldn’t doubt that, all these rich men like keeping mistresses, this man must be one of the sons of Mr. Baron’s mistress”“Shii! Keep quiet, he has not gone very far, he might still hear you.” The other attendant tried to counsel the second one, but it was too late.Lucas actually heard them, and his bloodshot eyes became even more red from anger.He no longer behaved like a gentleman and went straight ahead to the emergency room.But before he entered, he saw his mother sitting on a bench looking very tense, her attention was fixed on the emergency room as she stared without blinking. Her elbow was on her knees while hands were on both her face as if to support her head from falling off.“Mom?” His voice sounded very hoarse and low but she felt the instincts of a mother and looked up directly to the end of the hal
Chapter Twelve: Not A Baron Material Lucas entered the room and was stunned by the luxurious feel of the place. It was just an emergency room of a hospital, but the equipment and furniture inside the room was too magnificent. And laid on the hospital bed in the centre of the room was the very man who should have been called his father. Lucas looked at the man for what felt like eternity and his anger increased by the minutes. Seeing gauze on his father’s head, he felt very remorseful and regretted his actions. He had been so impulsive then when he saw the adults having a fight because of him, he also didn’t want his mother to suffer since she’s the one who had been with him all these while.But what could he do? This was his father and all he wished was for him to acknowledge him even once.It doesn’t matter if they don’t make him the heir, as long as he’ll be able to sleep in the same house with his mother and father, then his wish in this life would be accomplished.Lucas clea
Chapter Thirteen; A New Light“Isn’t it obvious, I’m happy because you have listened to me and indirectly told me what you actually want in a son, now I can work on myself and become a trophy son to you, then you’ll so proud of me when you talk about me to people in your circle”“You better not expect anything from me, the Baron family won’t entertain you when I already know you’ll just fail.” Patrick chimed in.“That is not the most important thing though” Lucas said, looking very calm and ignoring the man as a confident look appeared in his face.“What is it?” Patrick asked not even understanding why he was having such conversation with the man in the first place anyway.“It’s because you actually gave me your time, it meant that I still have hope.” Lucas said with a big smile but Mr. Patrick’s countenance was beginning to deteriorate as Lucas kept mentioning son to him.“It seems the fall I had may have not only damage my head but yours too for thinking that I’ll ever call you my so
Chapter Fourteen; From A Mother To Her son. 1.Be greedy 2.Be selfish 3.Be focused Those were few from the answers Lucas got when he searched on how to become rich because that was the first step in joining the high society. Since Lucas has agreed to have a fun night with the workers of his house that night to celebrate his graduation by playing games and eating and just partying in general, the next day, he decided to be serious in his life and be more focused on the things at hand.He had browsed what the successful had in common and how he could be successful. Invention was almost out of the list since he didn’t study science, so he’s left with starting a business. The next question popping in his head was what kind of business it would be. Since he grew up very poor without the hope of a brighter future, he didn’t have much dream other than providing food and shelter for his aunty. Those things he could easily do if he had graduated from a simple school and got a work in a
Chapter Fifteen; A Mother’s Love“No way, did you have people following me? How did you know I needed money?” “Didn’t you need the money? I may not be the one that trained you as a child, but a mother’s intuition is not wrong, so please don’t even try rejecting it, unless you want to hurt your mother’s feelings”Lucas was lost at words, his mouth left open, unable to say the words that he was planning to.“I can’t accept it” he wanted to say, but he also didn’t want to hurt his mother’s feeling, it is in fact, the very first time she gave him that much money, he was so lost at what emotion exactly to feel, whether it was that of happiness or sadness.Lucas looked at Melissa for a long time, a mists of tears gathered in his eyes, he tried so hard to hold them back.“What is it Lucas, are you really affected by the money that much? please don’t refuse it, it’s my money and I decided to give it to you, I know it won’t be easy for you after graduation, you don’t have to think much, squand
Chapter Sixteen; Discovering One’s True Self Is The way.James watched intently as his Master paced around in pain, he could feel his pain and could understand his plight. He gets where poor Lucas was coming from, he also knew that his young Master was harbouring a lot of pain and anger, he knew the anger burning through him won't allow him to succeed.His mind drifted to his aunt. The one who took care of him but left him in the painful world. He knew if his aunt didn't die, his life wouldn't have turned out like that. "I wish she was alive. If she was alive, all these wouldn't have happened. We both lived peacefully." Lucas ranted on and on until James cut in. "If she was alive, I bet you, nothing would change," James said loud and clear to the hearing of Lucas, but that was not the reply or comment he was expecting from anyone.He turned to look at James with a frown on his face."What did you say?" He clenched his fist together. "You heard what I said, Lucas” James was no long
Chapter Seventeen; It’s Time To Take ActionLucas muttered, gritting his teeth. The fact that his father doesn't want to be seen with him in public made him mad. He considered it not fair. He has every legal right to his name, properties,, but most importantly, he had the right to live in the same house with his complete family.He turned off the faucet and wrapped the towel around his waist. He stepped out of the bathroom and dried his body. He did all the necessities and put on fresh clothes.The maids served him food in his bedroom but he refused to eat it as his eyes stayed glued to his laptop. What filled his mind was how he would start his business. He doesn't have either but then an idea pops into his mind.The maid who had brought the food left at his word, but she still lingered to ensure that at least he got something in his mouth.When she noticed he wasn’t eating, she couldn’t really do anything to convince him even after coming back for the third time tonight, so she went
Chapter Eighteen; Not Here To Disrupt Peace.The next day, the two, Lucas and James got ready early in the morning and set out to be the one and only Elio Galileo.Their car parked right in front of Elio’s company as the security guards hired by Melissa to watch over her precious son rushed out of the car following them and lined up to open the door for him.Normally he didn’t like this kind of activities, but at a time like this, he felt that it was better to show off a little, then maybe they would give him some attention once he goes in there.Butler James stepped out from the passenger seat as well and walked around the car so that he was standing side by side with Lucas.Lucas dipped his hands into his pocket. As he looked up at the gigantic building in front of him in admiration, he couldn’t hide his excitement and a smile curled up his lips. He hoped his dreams would finally come true. He was keen on becoming successful. When he looked at the magnificent building made with th
