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
Chapter Nineteen; You’re Gonna Be Needing Me Soon.He prayed and hoped that that was the time that he would finally set his eyes on one of the world's famous men known for his exclusive skills with the computer . They walked a little and then they stopped again at the front of a large door. James pushed it open and entered, but it seems they are not yet in their destination because they saw another curtain.But James seemed to have expected it, he just extended his hand and pushed the curtain aside and was surprised by where they ended up at.In front of him was a podium with many beautiful girls in skimpy outfits dancing seductively and putting on a show.That was when Lucas realised where they had ended up, all those long walks and heavy doors led them straight to a stripper's room?Lucas didn’t understand what was happening, Janes just said he should trust him and that’s exactly what he was doing but questions were beginning to rise in his head.James however knew exactly where t
Chapter Twenty; You Are Invited.“No” After a while, Lucas couldn’t come up with any plan, he was just as James, useless.He had tried not to loose hope, but Butler James was not helping him, if James who’s Elio’s cousin couldn’t couldn’t even find a way for them to meet him, how could he keep dreaming about it? He that that was practically a nobody in front of others because no one really knew who he’s parents were.At the end, the two gentlemen had to give up and retreat their steps out of the place.As soon as they made for the exit, Lucas saw a figure from afar, the person seemed to be smiling towards him.But Lucas didn’t think much of it and just followed James out of the VIP building and headed to their car parked in front of it.Just when they were about to enter the car, Geraldine came out of the exit and called after them.“Hey Handsome,” she practically skipped towards them and pulled out a note from her apron’s pocket, and shoved it at Lucas who was halfway entering the ca
Chapter Twenty One; Go On A Date With Me.When Lucas opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.As soon as he woke up, he felt a pang of headache, it was as if someone was pounding his head with a giant hammer.He had spent most of the night awake thinking back to the phone call he had with that Geraldine of a lady.After talking with his mom in the evening and finally sending her off on her way back to the Baron residence, Lucas went back to his room to get some rest but he couldn’t.His mind kept going back to the strip club he went together with James and his countenance dropped. He remembered how much he had to suffer to look for that man called Elio, really, it is not a common luxury to be able to meet the rich and powerful especially when you are starting off as a nobody.As he thought about it, his mind inadvertently went to the waitress who deliberately poured a drink on his body and then later shoved her phone number in his hands.He had kept it safe in his poc
Chapter Twenty Two; Opportunity comes once, grab it. Lucas then dialled James’ number and invited him to his room.It was more like a summon because the tone Lucas used was enough to tell him that something was wrong somewhere.James sprinted to Lucas' room thinking that something terrible had happened to him, but when he reached there, he only saw Lucas pacing back and forth in the room.“Sir, What happened? You called for me.” James asked in between pants.“Yes, take a seat” Lucas said, then he told him about his personal attempt to find means of netting Elio Galileo went, including all the scammers calls that he got.And finally, he told him about Geraldine’s request just now.“Isn’t it absurd James? Don’t you think this lady is up to something?”He was hoping that James would also find it weird and join him in talking about how ridiculous it was for her to make such demands.But to his greatest surprise, James had a different reaction and a much worse answer than what he had expe
