Chapter Two Hundred And Thirty Six; Creating Understanding. As Kevin stormed into the second living room, his anger radiated from every pore. His face was flushed, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. Patrick, fueled by his own frustration, followed closely behind, determined to address the situation head-on.The room was dimly lit, casting elongated shadows across the walls. The atmosphere was heavy with tension as the two men faced each other. Kevin's eyes burned with a mixture of anger and hurt, while Patrick's face showed a combination of anger and disappointment."You have no right to behave this way, Kevin," Patrick said firmly, his voice tinged with authority. "This is your brother's moment, and you should be supportive. We have welcomed Lucas into our family, and it's time you do the same."Kevin's nostrils flared, and he retorted sharply, "Supportive? Like you were supportive of me? You never celebrated my achievements, never acknowledged my hard work. But the moment Luc
Chapter Two Hundred And Thirty Seven; Family reconciliation As Lucas waited for Kevin to apologise to him, he thought of how funny it was that he was the one today in the Baron Mansion and someone else was asked to apologise to him, he couldn’t help but think how much time had really travelled far. The room remained silent and Lucas locked eyes with Kevin with a whole lot of mixed emotions swirled within him, a mixture of hope and scepticism. He had longed hoped for the day that he would finally and officially become the child of his parents, yet the day had finally come and Kevin, his brother, seemed to be adamant about ruining it for him. While he was disturbed by this thought and angered by it, he couldn’t help as well as thinking of how this might as well be the first sibling quarrel that he has with his brother, the thought of it thrilled him into excitement as he thought of finally belonging to a family now and experiencing what other sons and siblings experience as he longe
Chapter Two Hundred And Thirty Eight; First Day At The Barons As the first rays of sunlight gently crept through the curtains, Lucas slowly stirred on his bed and finally woke up from sleep. He casually looked around his environment and it felt very much unfamiliar.As opposed to his room which was monochrome with neutral coloured beddings and virtually everything kept out of the way, this is way much bigger and extravagant with High ceiling and chandeliers that look done to him. The fact that the bed had a canopy above it was enough glamour to remind him that he was not at home and this was nowhere a common room, why would it be common when he is in fact in the Baron residence? He had noticed how grand the house had been yesterday from the events hall and wasn’t so surprised to wake up in a room this big and glamorous, it made him really feel like a young master of a wealthy family and the thoughts of it alone excited LUCAS. A smile of pure joy spread across Lucas' face as he
Chapter Two Hundred And Thirty Nine; First Official Meal With Complete Family. “Can you really blame him dad? He grew upIn the hood, what else would one expect?” Kevin’s voice was soon heard as he approached the dining area. “Kevin! He’s your brother.” Mr. Patrick Bafon immediately rebuked him, but Kevin didn’t flinch, “Why dad, did I say anything wrong?” Mr. Baron wanted to rebuke him when Melissa resurfaced from the Kitchen, “you are all done already? Please have your seat, Breakfast is ready.” She said, stopping them both from saying any other thing. “Kevin, go and get your grandfather for breakfast” Melissa totally ignored the tension in the room and encouraged her husband and son to take a seat while she sent Kevin to get Grandpa Baron. Soon Grandpa Baron came out of his room in a casual cardigan and home outfit, he noticed that the mahogany dining table had already been replaced by a new one and knew that it had to be Melissa’s doing. Grandpa glanced around the room, taki
Chapter Two Hundred And Forty;; The Life Of A Young Master The table was quiet for a long time after Grandpa Baron said that. No one knew what to say or what to do, especially Lucas who just continued eating as if he did not hear anything. “I think what father meant is that we’re happy to have you here.” Patrick said after a while, Melissa just squeezed LUCAS arm reassuringly. After that, no one said anything else until they finished eating and Lucas decided to show himself again, by taking his plates to the kitchen.When Patrick saw him lifting his plate, he immediateky salvaged him by calling his attention, “Lucas, keep that plate and go get ready, it’s about time you get to work.” Patrick said. Lucas looked puzzled, his brow furrowing. He glanced down at his outfit, the same suit he had worn the previous day, and couldn't understand why there was an issue. After all, it was his best suit, meticulously chosen for the occasion, and he had even made sure to have it cleaned by the
Chapter Two Hundred And Forty One; LUCAS Is Now Mr. Family Man“Sir, I will lead you to your office,” the secretary who was standing in front of Lucas said bringing him back to reality as he seemed to be zoning off too much today. “Alright. Did Mr. Baron tell you why I am here?” He asked? The secretary but the secretary politely told him that he was following orders and was simply asked to bring him to his office. Lucas wanted to ask Kevin what was really going on but Kevin had already disappeared into his office and knocked the door really hard. It was enough sign to tell Lucas to keep off so he just went to his office as the secretary lead the way. Taking a look at the office, it was a very spacious office with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bustling city below, Lucas found himself standing in his new workspace. The room was meticulously decorated, exuding a sense of sophistication and power. A sleek desk, adorned with state-of-the-art technology, dominated the space.
Chapter Two Hundred And Forty Two; Lucas Becomes The New Director of Baron Enterprise.As Lucas stepped into the grand boardroom, his heart pounded in his chest. The anticipation in the air was palpable, mingling with a sense of nervous energy. He took in the magnificence of the room, the polished mahogany table, the plush leather chairs, and the gleaming chandeliers casting a warm glow and he could only conclude in his mind that the Barons do live making their environment stand out in a grand way.A hush fell over the room as all eyes turned towards Lucas. The members of the board, distinguished individuals with years of experience etched into their faces and regarded him with a mixture of curiosity and respect. Lucas felt a knot forming in his stomach as he realised that he was the centre of attention.The chairman of the board, Mr. Patrick Baron rose from his seat. His voice resonated with authority as he addressed the room. "Ladies and gentlemen, allow
Chapter Two Hundred And Forty Three; Wanted For A ReasonAs Lucas stepped into his new office, his mind was still reeling from the whirlwind of events that had unfolded so swiftly. The spacious room exuded an air of authority, with its sleek furniture, towering bookshelves, and the panoramic view of the city skyline stretching out before him. It was a physical manifestation of the responsibility that now rested on his shoulders.He took a moment to collect himself, inhaling deeply to steady his racing heart. This was the place where he was meant to make decisions that would shape the future of Baron Enterprise but was this right or are things moving a little too fast? But before he could even settle with his thoughts in his seat, a knock at the door interrupted his thoughts.Kevin's voice, tinged with a thinly veiled disdain, called out, "Lucas, may I have a word with you?"Lucas glanced at the door, surprised by his brother's sudden appearance. He motioned for Kevin to enter, his m
