For a moment, no one spoke.

It seemed like the entire world stood still. Luke was pretty sure the only audible sound was that of his thumping heartbeat.

“What did you just say?” It was Nina who spoke first, her voice dripping with shock. “Did you just say you’re pregnant… with Luke’s child?”

Fiona smirked.

“I don’t have the strength to repeat myself unnecessarily but yes, that is exactly what I said. If you don’t believe me…”

Before she could end her sentence, Luke hovered over her in one stride and wrapped his fingers around her jaw… tight. His eyes were two glittering pools of rage. He was literally shaking with anger.

“I don’t know what the fuck you think you’re doing or what you hope to gain by doing this, but if you do not withdraw that statement right this instant…”

Fiona’s eyes clouded with discomfort at Luke’s harsh grip but she still managed to say;

“I’m not lying and neither will I withdraw my statement. I’m pregnant, Luke. And the child is yours.”

Luke stepped back, afraid

    Luke’s brain was spinning as he watched his grandfather lower his head in shame. It took a great effort to hold himself together and face the old man.“What are you saying, grandpa? My mother’s not dead? When did you find out about this?”Lord George heaved a weighted sigh.“A month ago.”Luke could not help his gasp of shock.“So you knew she was alive even before you met me?”Lord George nodded.“She’s the one who found you. She found out you were staying with the Carmichaels… that you were being mistreated but them, and she contacted me. That was the first time I discovered that she never died.”Luke could not believe his ears. He gently lowered himself into the nearest chair he could find. His legs no longer seemed able to hold him up. “She found me.” He whispered. “Why isn’t she here? Why didn’t she come for me?”Lord George gave him a solemn look and Luke instantly knew he wasn’t going to like whatever he was about to say.“Your mother never wanted you, Luke. She never wanted c

    NOTE TO READERS: This is a raw and unedited chapter so readers are bound to encounter some spelling and grammatical errors. Proper editing will be carried out and updated tomorrow. Thank you for reading!!***Lord George stared at his grandson with a horrified expression. “Luke, don’t tell me you mean to accept this baby just like that. We all know how devious the Carmichaels are. Fiona might be lying just so she can get close to you.”Luke’s voice dripped ice.“And why would she want to get close to me, huh? Why would she want to be with me?”Lord George looked taken aback by the question.“Because you’re the only heir to the Diamond Empire, of course. That devious gold digger is just after your money.”Luke’s eyes narrowed to slits.“And who says I’m still interested in being the heir?”Shocked silence reigned in the room for a moment.“Wh-what do you mean by that, son?” Lord George stuttered.Luke sank his fingers into his hair and pulled as he paced the room.“Ever since you fo

    Luke paced the waiting area of EverGreen Hospital, impatiently waiting for John and Fiona to arrive. Finally, after nearly twenty minutes, John walked through the main door, his hands wrapped tightly around Fiona’s arm.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” She screamed. “Let go of me, you servant. Let me go!”On sighting Luke, John walked in his direction.“Boss, we’re here.” He announced.He finally let go of Fiona’s arm and she stumbled towards Luke, her face twisted in a tight frown. “Luke! Can you believe this fool? How dare he put his hands on me? How dare he?!”Everyone in the waiting room turned in their direction, clearly enjoying the debacle. “John brought you here per my request, Fiona. I do not want you to disrespect him.”Her mouth dropped open in shock.“But he said you wanted to go out for drinks. I thought we were going on a date.” She whined.Luke shot her a dark glare.“And why on earth would I want to go on a date with you?”Her face twisted with annoyanc

    For a moment, no one moved. Fiona gradually edged backwards, waving the scissors in front of her like it was a weapon of war. The doctor looked appalled at her behaviour but Luke calmly said;“Drop the scissors and cooperate with the doctor, Fiona. Now.”“No!” She screeched. “I don’t trust you,” her eyes scanned the room. “Any of you. I want to leave right now.”Luke shot her a glare.“Do you have anything to hide? Is that it? You so boldly claimed just a few hours ago that this baby is mine. Why then are you resisting the paternity test if you’ve got nothing to hide?”Her face twisted with annoyance.“This child belongs to you, Luke. We don’t need a goddamn paternity test to confirm that.”As she was ranting away, Luke and John made eye contact and John immediately swung into action.Just as she reached the door, John lunged forward and grabbed both her hands, pinning them behind her back.Fiona’s eyes widened in horror and a yell of surprise slipped past her lips.“Drop the scissor

    “Luke, my boy.” Elizabeth slurred, getting to her feet. “Have you seen how badly they’re treating your mother? No mother of the heir to an entire fortune should be treated this way. I demand an apology!”Luke stared at her and could not help the mixture of rage, disappointment and resentment that festered in his heart.“As far as I know, Elizabeth, you are not my mother. My mother and father are currently at home. You’re a woman who saw your child as a money making tool. You will never be my mother.”Elizabeth’s eyes clouded with remorse for a second, but the emotion swiftly disappeared.“They’ve finally succeeded in corrupting your mind against me, haven’t they? I’m sure that old geezer told you all the wrong things, my boy. Do not believe anything he says.”Luke was struggling to control his rage at this point.“And what part of it am I supposed not to believe? The part where you faked your death and made me suffer for the past twenty five years of my life? The part where you conti

    Luke stared at the detective expectantly, his blood thrumming with anticipation as he waited for him to speak.“Well, detective, please do not keep me waiting. Who was it and how did you find out?”“I’m not saying I’m one hundred percent certain, but I have valid reasons to believe that Steve Michaelson and the strange lady who paid him a visit at the hospital have something to do with it.” Luke could not help his disappointment. He shook his head at the detective and stepped back.“McGregor, I was there when Steve and Fiona’s mother were interrogated. He accepted that she hired him to kidnap her daughter. Their story checks out.”McGregor nodded.“Yes, that’s true. But even after that interrogation, I still had my suspicions. I’ve been a detective for nearly thirty years, your lordship. I can smell a guilty spirit from a mile away.”Something in McGregor’s eyes told Luke that he was trying to make an important point.“Okay. I’m listening.”“Thank you. Remember that the alibi which S

    For a moment, silence reigned in the huge room. Luke was one hundred percent certain that the only audible sounds were that of his heart pounding crazily against his ribcage. Nina finally broke the silence.“How’s this even possible?”Fiona turned in her direction, her voice dripping venom as she spoke; “I know you studied basic biology in high school so let me break it down for you. Luke and I had sex…”“That’s enough, Fiona!” Luke thundered, cutting her off.Fiona pouted at him.“But I was just…”Luke shot a devilish glare;“I swear, one more word from you and I won’t be held responsible for what I do next.”Lord George’s face had already drained of all colour. His skin was white and pasty. The old man suddenly looked sick.“What’s going to happen now?” Nina murmured. “Luke, the baby is really yours. What’s gonna happen now?”Everyone stared at him expectantly, waiting for his next words. Luke took a deep breath, praying his voice didn’t shake like his heart currently was.“Grandp

    While everyone struggled to recover from the shock caused by Fiona’s impossible demands, Luke just smiled.“I very much believe you’re joking.” He said lightly. “You cannot be serious.”Fiona hardened her gaze.“I am one hundred percent serious, Luke. I want us to get married next week. And I want a big, expensive wedding to make up for my first wedding that went wrong.”Gradually realising that she wasn’t joking at all, Luke stared at her, completely dumbfounded.“Do you really think that you can rope me into a marriage using this child? Do you think I’m that stupid?”“No, I don’t think you’re stupid. I know you’re incredibly smart. Which is why I know you do realise that I meant it when I said that if the marriage does not hold in two weeks like I want it to, I’ll get rid of this child.”A mixture of rage and dread unfurled in Luke’s chest. Fiona was a very petty human being. He was one hundred percent certain that she could carry out her threats without thinking twice.“You wouldn

    One year later“…to end this broadcast, here’s a recap of the major stories.Former Mrs. Fiona George, ex wife to one of London’s most successful trillionaire businessman, Luke George, along with her mother, Mrs. Carmichael and ex-boyfriend, David Humsworth have all been sentenced to different years in prison. After a long year of legal battles, the court finally announced their sentence today, bringing months of crime and criminal conspiracy to an end…”A sense of satisfaction settled over Luke’s heart as he watched clips of Fiona, her mother and David being led into a police van, already handcuffed. Fiona was screaming and crying while David and Mrs. Carmichael lowered their heads to avoid being captured by the cameras.Beside Luke, Nina, his five months pregnant wife, snuggled deeper against his side, placing her small hands atop his chest.“It’s finally over.” She whispered, her gentle voice already soothing his soul. “It’s really over.

    For five long seconds, a thick blanket of silence reigned in the room. Lord George stared at Nina in shock, obviously unable to believe his ears. Lucas’ expression was filled with awe while Fiona and her mother looked like they’d just been forced to swallow a bowl full of fart.“Luke, she’s lying. This bitch is lying to you. I didn’t bribe the doctor. How could I do that when I didn’t even know the hospital until you took me there? How can I betray you like that?” She sniffed and hiccuped, looking every bit the victim.Mrs. Carmichael was enraged.“All you’ve done for the past few minutes is go around yapping that little mouth of yours and spewing lies.” She spat at Nina. “Where’s your evidence, huh? You’re claiming that my daughter bribed the doctor. Where’s your goddamn evidence, you shameless homewrecker?!”“If you’re looking for evidence, don’t ask her. Ask me.”Everyone turned towards the door, searching for the owner of the new voice.Mrs Carmichael’s face dampened with fear an

Get out of my way.” She snapped angrily.“And what the hell do you think you’re doing?” Nina countered, folding her arms.Fiona raised her chin.“I was just about to introduce Luke to his son and heir before you rudely interrupted. As you know, my Cameron is a bonafide member of this family. You’re not. Therefore you have no right to be here. Why don’t you just give up on your plans to destroy my marriage, Nina? Can’t you see that you’re already failing?”Nina smirked.“Since we’re all here and you seem to have so much to say today, Fiona, why don’t we play a little game?”Luke stared at the back of Nina’s head with confusion. What was she doing?“In addition to being blind, ar

    SIX MONTHS LATERPain. He was in so much pain.His arms, legs and back throbbed and burned. His head felt like a wailing banshee had taken up residence. He tried to open his eyes but his eyelids seemed to be glued shut.“His vitals seem okay but he’s no longer responding to treatment. I’m afraid his coma might become worse. His injuries are nothing like we’ve ever seen before.”He heard noises above him and tried to alert whoever it was to the fact that he was actually awake. He tried to blink or even move his finger, but his body refused to listen to his brain as usual.“I’m sorry but you and your family will have to consider taking him off life support. I don’t mean to be pessimistic but it doesn’t look like he’ll get any better than this.”His heart tightened with panic as he listened to the doctor go on and on about how he’ll never recover. Someone was crying in the room. He could hear the whimpers. Her whimpers.He struggled to stay awake for a moment longer but his brain was spi

    178 – THE FUNERAL

    THREE MONTHS LATERThe day was dark and gloomy. Rydling soldiers and Elders gathered around the glass casket, their faces pinched in tight frowns.“We’re gathered today to celebrate the one person who sacrificed his life to save all of us. We’re here to witness the end of the reign of our chosen one.” Elder Tomako said quietly.“We watched him fight a good fight. Now, it’s time to bid him farewell. We tried our possible best to bring him back, but I believe this is really the end of the road for our hero. Lower the casket.”The casket was lowered by four heavily built soldiers into the already dug earth. The moment it touched the ground, the death bells started ringing.The forlorn sounds of the bell were followed by flashes of lightning and the deep, rumbling sounds of thunder. That was the king of the Rydlings himself, saying goodbye to his chosen one. The Chosen One had fought a good fight. Now, it was time for him to rest eternally.

    177 — THE DAY HE DIED. THE END OF THE WAR.

    THE END OF HIS REIGN***Have you ever gotten the feeling that you’re about to die and no one can save you even if they tried?Have you ever looked death straight in the eyes?That was all that went through Luke’s mind as he stared at the red eyes of the demon-beast before him. His knees and heart quaked with fear and blood whooshed loudly in his ears.Luke knew he was powerless without his amulet. Even if he’d trained for physical combat, those skills wouldn’t be of any significant help against Malcolm.Malcolm took a step forward and Luke gulped in deeply.“I heard Rydling had chosen a weakling to save his people.” He growled, his voice dripping with disgust. “I thought my people were bluffing. But looking at you, I guess they weren’t.Which makes me wonder why my own brother would, out of the millions of experienced and well-trained soldiers at his disposal, choose a good-for-nothing scaredy-cat to lead a war against me.” Malcolm burst into loud, booming laughter. “I mean, what w

    A month later…Something was coming. Luke could feel it.For the past month, his anxiety rate had tripled. During the day, he felt followed, stalked. At night, he felt watched.. He could barely sleep these days. His amulet glowed all night and he was pretty certain he’d heard whispers in the dark two nights ago. The hairs on the back of his neck stood at attention. His guts burned with suspicion. There was something wrong somewhere.Something was coming. Something dark…and very, very ugly.****“Focus, Luke. Focus! Channel your amulet’s power. If you’re distracted, the enemy will definitely find an opening to strike.”Luke took a deep breath, trying to calm his raging nerves. Today’s training was on mobility. His ability to dodge the strikes of evil spells or possibly, gun shots from the enemy.“There’s an unwritten rule that guns are banned from all supernatural wars but Malcolm’s followers are evil. We should not underestimate their inclination to cheat.” Elder Tomako had said ea

    FOUR MONTHS LATER“It's all about concentration, Luke.” Elder Tomako said for the umpteenth time. “Close your eyes and focus on the power within your amulet. Channel it. If you can do that, the amulet would do anything you want. Close your eyes and feel the magic. Command it.”Luke shot his eyes and focused. Gradually, he felt the familiar energy begin to build. His amulet glowed and throbbed against his chest, sending spurts after spurts of power through his entire frame.He chanted the power codes he was taught throughout his first month of training and the tips of his finger began to burn. “Ancient spirits please arise. Lend your power and your might. Victory over my enemies, I pray thee. Ancient spirits please arise!”Finally, the energy within him became so powerful, shards of dangerous light shot through his fingers and sliced all the targets in front of him, reducing them to puffs of dust.The room erupted into a flurry of explosions and the stench of smoke filled the air.Whe

    174 – PLOTTING LUKE’S DESTRUCTION

    “How did you kill him?” Luke asked as they both settled down on the Italian sofa.Lucas’ expression became guarded.“Well, turns out, grandpa isn't the only person Edoardo was indebted to. The bastard was involved with a lot of shady people. He gambled a lot and lost loads of cash in the process.Unfortunately, he borrowed money from an organisation that doesn’t believe debtors should walk around scot free.”A slight chill crawled up Luke’s spine at Lucas’ dark expression.“What organisation was that?”Lucas took a few seconds too long to reply and Luke instantly knew that Edoardo had fallen into deep, deep shit before his death.“Edoardo borrowed money from the Russian crime syndicate. The Bratva.”Luke froze as shock shot through his entire system. “D-did you just say…?”Lucas nodded.“Yes. Unfortunately for him, he borrowed half a million dollars from them and couldn’t pay back after a period of six months like he’d promised.”Luke's heart thumped wildly as he asked;“How did they
