THE BILLIONIARE'S RISE TO STARDOM CHAPTER ONE: A LEAP IN THE HEART.
Lucian stared at the hospital's white walls that smelt like bleach for a long time. He was tired, yet he tried to ignore the blinding pain in his insides as he tightened his grip around his younger sister's small, frail hands.She was in so much pain and he knew that, yet the doctor had refused to start treatment until he deposited $150,000. Gosh, that was a freaking huge amount, his part-time jobs were not even enough to pull out such amount.The LED heart monitor was beeping slowly. It made his heart lurch painfully against his chest and he sighed, how many minutes were left before he lost his sister?"Lu…cian..." Rose coughed harshly."Yes, sister" "Be strong for me, despite the storm, okay? You're my only brother and I'm so sorry that I'm not strong enough to take care of you…"Lucian swallowed. "Wh…what are you talking about? You've always been my support system and with you gone, I'm nothing. I promise to save up enough money for your treatment, okay? just please hang in there
THE BILLIONIARE'S RISE TO STARDOM CHAPTER TWO: A RUINED NIGHT.
The food poured on Betty's dress, but Lucian ran after the broken plates, the words of the senior worker ringing in his ears. These plates costs $40,000 each. Where the hell would he get that amount to pay, especially as he was still battling for the money of his sister's treatment.What sort of fucked up night was this?A sharp slap against his cheeks sent him staggering backwards. "You son of a bastard. Look at the mess you caused. Must you manifest your ill luck everywhere you go?!" Betty cried.A small group gathered around them and Lucian felt ashamed of himself. Betty and John had succeeded in ruining his night. Who would believe him anyways? Who would believe that it hadn't been his fault?Nobody, they'd blame him for everything."My dress…!" Betty screamed louder."It wasn't on purpose, I swear…" Lucian began."Get something to clean up the mess you caused this instant!" John barked."I wonder the kind of idiots people employ these days," a guest said and the rest bursted into
THE BILLIONIARE'S RISE TO STARDOM CHAPTER THREE: DIVORCE.
"How about you ask the useless man you married!" Summer spat in disgust."What the hell did you do to my mum, you lowly piece of shit?!" Betty yelled.Lucian walked past her to the kitchen to wash off the sting from his eyes. When he returned, he stared at her, heat flushing through him."First, you ignore my calls, next, you flirt with this man that cost me my job and now you stand there unremorseful, questioning me? Betty, why are you allowing your wealth to get into your head! Tell me why you're doing this?!""Because I hate you!" She screamed. "The only thing I regret in my life is getting married to a scumbag like you. I regret our marriage!""What..?" Lucian chuckled dryly. "But we loved each other way before you inherited your father's company that brought you this far. I've always loved you, hoping that maybe one day, our marriage would work,""Well, I grew up, save your love for the trenches, Lucian, I'm done! Your stupid love cannot pay my bills or buy me expensive things th
THE BILLIONIARE'S RISE TO STARDOM CHAPTER FOUR: A KIND STRANGER.
"Are you okay?" Lucian asked in tears as he rushed to embrace his sister in the small ventilated room. How he had reached the hospital in such a short notice on foot marveled him. Perhaps the excitement of seeing his sister had fueled his race. Rose patted his curly hair with a smile. "I'm fine, better than three days ago,""You don't know how happy I am when I got the news. I miss you so much…"Rose disengaged from the embrace, her eyes was watery, yet she tried to control her emotions. With her fingers, she wiped the tears off Lucian's cheeks."Stop crying, I'm fine,""I thought I'd lose you…""But you didn't, okay? or don't you know how strong your sister is?"Lucian laughed. "Strong indeed. I would not have forgiven myself if anything happened to you,"Rose held his hands. "It's not your fault, don't ever think that any of this is your fault,"Lucian nodded. "Any idea who might have paid for the surgery?" She shook her head. "No, I have no idea.""I'll go ask the doctor about i
THE BILLIONIARE'S RISE TO STARDOM CHAPTER FIVE: ARREST THE THIEF.
"And what happens when the manager arrives and nothing is done to me?" Lucian scoffed, unable to ignore Summer's rudeness. She needed to be taught a lesson or two."Then I'll walk out of this mall with my head bent in shame, you bastard!" "Call the manager." Lucian said to the receptionist."Yes sir." Seconds later, a beautiful lady arrived the scene closely followed by Marcus. As Summer saw them, she smiled, like she had just won a lottery."This bastard here was caught stealing by me and was about to woo the receptionist in order to get away with his crimes. Not only that, he shows no remorse for his actions. I want him locked up!"Marcus rushed to Lucian, concern plastered on his face. "Young Master, are you alright?"Summer blinked. "What nonsense are you saying? Young Master? I said this bastard just stole expensive items and you're asking about his well being?"No one said a word to Summer's ranting, instead, the manager walked towards Lucian. "Master Lucian, nice to finally
THE BILLIONIARE'S RISE TO STARDOM CHAPTER SIX: MEETING WITH FAMILY.
"Father?" Lucian mouthed, not knowing what else to say.The man crossed the distance between them and wrapped a stiff Lucian in an embrace. There was a sniff, then a gentle sigh as the two remained in the position. No one said a word."Master Manchester, I'll excuse myself." Marcus said politely."Yes, please leave, all of you." Manchester said, disengaging from the embrace.The guards bowed deeply and filed out of the room in one single movement. As Lucian studied his father, he noted the resemblance, the blue eyes, the dimples, the slightly brown hair…"Welcome home, son, and thank you for being alive,""Al…ive?" Lucian stammered in shock. Was he dead before?"What do you mean? How come I don't remember a thing about having a family? Did you abandon me and now you want me back? You are swimming in wealth, yet I suffered to survive, I and my sister, why?" Lucian couldn't help but ask the questions that had plagued his mind for years. "No, son, I didn't for one minute think of aband
THE BILLIONIARE'S RISE TO STARDOM CHAPTER SEVEN: TURN OF EVENTS.
The next day, Lucian walked into the event with Anthony and two bodyguards by his side. The crowd bristled with a feeling of unfamiliarity, there was no sign of Betty anyway. He sighed and brought out his phone to type a message."Where the hell are you?"A reply came almost immediately. "What the heck are you implying? You should be begging me to keep you waiting, don't you think?"He typed. "I'll leave in the next minute if you're not careful with your words. Afterall you need my services, don't you?""The audacity…" an audible voice sounded in his ears and when he turned around, Betty stood beside him, a wild look on her face, dressed as usual like a model."Ah, here she goes, don't you think it's unwise and ugly to be this grumpy?" Lucian smirked."The tables belonging to the dignitaries, especially that of the president of Howards, I want them sparkling clean," she snapped, a little bit surprised at the expensive clothes that he wore."Text me when you're done. I'll pay the day a
THE BILLIONIARE'S RISE TO STARDOM CHAPTER EIGHT: RESULTS OF EVENTS.
"What's going on and why's the president's phone ringing from the trash can?!" A voice yelled."Is she playing games with us?!""Pfft, I should have known this company was all a joke!" Betty stammered slightly, her brain was reeling in thoughts. There was no answer, no explanation to the questions that were plaguing her mind. She couldn't believe it.What was happening?As he watched the drama for a moment, Lucian signaled for Anthony to get his phone from the trash can. Then with a small smile on his face, he walked towards the stage and answered the phone in a voice loud enough to reach the end of the room."Miss Betty, you threw away my phone, how could I accept your invitation?!""What…?" A man gasped."Isn't this the guy that was cleaning a while ago? Was he the president of Howards all along?" Another whispered fiercely."How could she make the president clean tables!"Lucian climbed the stage and took the mic, just in time as Betty whispered."What are you doing playing this k
