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 was unwilling to do it, after I gave birth to you, he hated me and didn’t even come to the hospital to visit us.

And when .. when the explosion happened and I found out you were missing, he was relaxed and brought me home.

In a nutshell, he doesn’t know I’ve been looking for you so this will take time to explain to him.”

“Just say he doesn’t want me!” I sneered knowing exactly what she meant.

“No son, he doesn’t know you that’s why, let’s give him a reason to know and want you okay?”

“And I believe the best way to do that is when we are together right?”

Mellisa bit her lips because of frustration, she didn’t know how to make him understand.

“Son look, you just have to go to a good school I’ve chosen for you and study business admin. You have to graduate with a lm excellent result and prove to him that you have the qualifications to become a Baron, then he’ll accept you”

“But I’m already a Baron” Lucas thought as he remembered his aunt that died, he suddenly missed her.

Mister Boma was right, he Durant have anyone else with him and he’s just a lowlife, even his father doesn’t want him.

It was as if he doesn’t have an option but to do what his mother had said, he’ll go to the school, graduate with good grades and return to his father.

After a month. The mother and son could be seen sitting in the garden having a serious discussion. Anyone would easily notice that they’re getting together really well.

“Son, this is the admission letter I promised you, I’ve also paid all your school fees for as long as you’ll be in school, you just have to be exceptional in your studies and keep high GPA”

Lucas couldn’t believe the envelope in her hand. He was finally going to be a university student.

He didn’t have any doubt that he’ll perform exceptionally, after all all his high school grades are full of distinctions, if only they were not thrown away together with the memory that Mister Boma discarded the night he spent in the jail.

That night seems to be one that brought him a lot of bad memories when he discovered how he was humiliated.

But on second thought, the night was also a blessing since his biological mother was able to find him.

He slowly stretched forth his hand and collected it, he saw the words boldly written.

‘MR LUCAS BARON IS AWARDED AN ADMISSION INTO OUR PRESTIGIOUS STANFORD SCHOOL UNDER A SCHOLARSHIP’

He sat after getting excited but it was soon narrowed down when he saw the last words, Scholarship

“Why will I be going an a scholarship? Although I am very intelligent which by the way you don’t know because you’ve been missing most of my life,

It is already discovered that I am the Unofficial Young Master of the Baron family, isn’t it insulting for the people of the high society?”

Melissa thought about it a little but still spoke to him with a calm expression.

“Since we are doing this for your father, we can’t let him find out that you’re his son yet, this is the best way to pay your school fees without raising suspicion. Also no one in the school should find out as well”

“Do you mean after going to this school you’ve applied for me, I’ll finally come back to the Baron family?”

“Yes son, one hundred percent sure”

“Okay”

Lucas wasn’t reluctant to go to school this time, after all he applied for a scholarship to the same school but didn’t get it.

Just a month later, the scholarship was handed to him by his so called mother, indeed there was nothing money couldn’t do.

looking at the face of the woman, he saw that they looked so much alike and what’s more, she looked like a sincere woman.

He had browsed a little about the Baron family during the free time he enjoyed in the beautiful house he stayed.

He found out that the Baron family are one of the wealthiest family in the country. They are easily high on the ranking in the elite society with a mix of generational wealth and the new money gotten from his Mr. Baron the business tycoon.

It’s no wonder his mother wanted him to study business admin, It turns out that the Barons owned a lot of enterprise and it seemed to be the family business.

He also remember the news had said that Mr. Baron had a son who wasn’t much in the spotlight. Apart from the photos of him when he was still a kid, there’s not really many recent pictures associated with his name; Kevin Baron.

When he thought of his brother who was probably enjoying the blessings of being with both parents and the luxury, his eyes narrowed with a hint of despair.

He was thinking about everything he had missed, no, he wouldn’t play with such an opportunity to make up for those times, he’ll work hard and regain his title as the Young Master, whoever his brother is, he’ll not take it all.

He gladly accepted the admission letter this time and started getting ready to go to school.

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.

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.

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
