Chapter Six; You Are My Son“What are you trying to say?” Lucas looked at her expression, he heard what she said quite alright, but he was unwilling to believe him.Melos’s saw the confusion in his eyes and smiled, “perhaps he hasn’t found out yet she said”She dipped her hand into her purse and brought out a wrinkled paper.“Take a look at this by yourself, I hired a detective to look for you all these while, you don’t know how happy I was when I heard that there was someone who looked like me in jail.I immediately had them take your blood sample and compared it with mine at the genetic department, it proves he was right, you are my son.”She paused for a little while as if giving him time to adjust to the information.“I am sorry you had to go through all you did because I didn’t find you soon enough, now that I did, I will not let you leave my sight”. As opposed to earlier, she had a more serious and determined look.There was total silence in the room.Lucas observed the paper fo
Chapter Seven; Nothing Money Can’t Do“Tell her that I’m ready to be her son” he suffered today because people think he didn’t have money, but now, he’s from a wealthy family, so why not take advantage before he’s taken advantage of.He expected that she’ll come the next day and take him back home.Then she’ll take him home and they’ll have a big welcoming party for him.He was already thinking about how grand it would be and couldn’t wait for the next day so that it would happen first and he’ll be able to show everyone who he really it.But to his disappointment, she did come the next day until after a week.And when she came, she was not willing to take him with her.“Why will you not take me to see my father?” Lucas roared in the sitting room.He’s been waiting for her only to give him some cock and bull story, he wouldn’t accept it.“You have to listen son, it’s not easy for your father, when I was pregnant with you, he didn’t want you and had me abort you several times. But I wa
Chapter Eight; It Not Easy For The Church Rat In other not to raise suspicion or to make it obvious that he has someone backing him, Lucas did not get an apartment off campus like the other rich students did. Instead, he stayed in the campus, not just anywhere, but at the hostel made for those people under a scholarship. At first he didn’t mind because he thought he’d be staying with commoners who could only afford to attend the school because of their brains instead of their pocket. If he also stayed with them he’d be forced to concentrate only in his book and have a peaceful life in school. But he didn’t know faith was cruel, things didn’t always go as plan, never has and probably never will. He soon found out that the school also held another doom for him when he met Santos the very first day of school resumption. “Bang!” He collided with a hard body throwing him off balance so that file he was holding fell down and the papers flew away with the wind. Lucas hurried to foll
Chapter Nine.; He Didn’t Want Me As soon as he entered the hotel, he was expecting a big celebration to welcome him, but he was wrong yet again, the place was very quiet and nothing glamours was being planned, there’s also no one else around.So he walked up to the penthouse that his mother had told him about holding unto some papers he believed his father would want to see. As soon as he reached the door, he nocked on the door twice but no one was answering him. He was serious Abd heard a faint noice coming from inside as well, so he knew there was someone inside.After a little tug, he found out the door was already opened so he entered bracing himself for a surprise celebratory party.“Otherwise, why would they leave the door open” he thought.He did got it quite alright; the surprise, but not the one he expected. In the big spacious luxurious living room of the penthouse, a woman could be seen on her knees, her hands pulled together in front of her as she rubbed them a
Chapter Ten; Cursed The Day He Was Born Lucas knew that he had went overboard by pushing the old man, but he couldn’t help it. He was provoked by the man who should be his father. He clenched his fists so tight as if he was going to fight someone. He looked around and saw that the hotel staff were all rushing to the penthouse which meant that Melissa had already called for help. Lucas didn’t go very far, he stood by a corner and watched from afar when an ambulance came and took him away. His mother’s troubled face didn’t escape his view. She had make up smeared on her face which meant that she had been crying. He felt a ping of pain in his heart and regretted putting her in such a situation. “Is it true that I’m just a bad luck?” He asked himself recalling the way Patrick pushed his mother mercilessly and slapped her several times all because she mentioned him to the man. He wanted to follow her and apologize but the bush had already left. He looked at the inscription on the b
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
