"I…I beg you, sir, please don't fire me, I need this Job," Henry pleaded in an unknown tone. "I…I didn't know who you were then please Mr.Morningstar pardon my ignorance."

Lucian sighs, disappointed at his excuse. "So If I was a customer and not the Mall owner you would have done the same thing?" Lucian asked with furrowed brows. "Your ignorance didn't cost you your job, it is your character of looking down on people that did,"

Henry whimpered, understanding the weight of Lucian's words, with tears pricking the corner of his eye. He was about to say something, but Lucian beat him to it.

"You had your chance when I asked you to apologize but you didn't and this is the consequence of your actions," Lucian said, walking out of the building. The

Billy asked with mockery, lacing his tone while he pulled Veronica closer. "Are you stalking us now?" Lucian shook his head. He was aware Billy wanted to provoke him as usual, but he kept his cool because he didn't care about Veronica anymore, making a smile crawl up his face. "I know you are foolish, Billy, but I didn't know you're this dumb not to realize what people do in a restaurant."Billy's face instantly hardened by Lucian's comment, but he forced out a smile masking his annoyance. "The people who come to a ten-star restaurant are not the likes of you Lucian," Billy sneered. "Do you even know how much is a meal in this?""No I don't but I intend to pay for it so get out of my way," Lucian said, making his way to the front desk when Veronica blocked his way.

"Is that how you speak to your guests?!" his voice was laced with anger. other customers exiting the Prime Restaurant stared at him and Gladys quickly flashed them a smile before turning to Lucian with a glare."Did you just call yourself a guest?"

"This is a ten-star restaurant for Christ's sake, not a place for poor people like you!""You don't even know me," Lucian replied, his anger disintegrating into a smile.

    "Call the manager and inform him that Lucian Morningstar is here," Lucian instructed Patricia, who nodded her head while her hand briskly picked up the desk phone to call the manager. Though the sound of owning the restaurant threatened to place a smile on Lucian's lips, he quickly discarded it, as the thought of being underestimated by both Billy and the staff sent rage through his veins. He isn't the Lucian who was being bullied and underestimated by society, and like he had promised, anybody who did that would not go unpunished.A few minutes later, a skinny blonde man in a black suit appeared in the lobby with a nervous smile playing on his lips. When he arrived at the front desk, he shifted his gaze from Patricia to Lucian, whose expression was still cold.

Please forgive me," she lamented, tears pricking the corners of her eyes. Lucian, who wore a stern expression, stared at Gladys, who continuously bowed her head to the ground, hoping her pleas would ease whatever punishment would be thrown at her.The manager, noticing Lucian's silence, rushed forward, also bowing his head apologiously.

    Lucian raised his gaze at the person who placed a knock on the front door before entering his office. Anna's figure appears in her new clothes; she wears a red shirt with the restaurant logo printed on it and a matching red shirt that reveals her long legs. After Lucian had resolved the issues with Gladys, he instantly promoted Anna to oversee the staff, working as the frontman of the restaurant, especially the receptionist to avoid the stunt Gladys had pulled. Lucian raised his gaze to meet Anna, who had been on her toes since the few minutes she had been promoted. She cleared her throat and stepped forward. “Sir, your reservation is ready.” She said, with little composure, and even through her professional facade Lucian could see the nervousness lingering in her eyes; she was new to her job and hadn't made any mistake or offended any customer which was the sole reason for her promotion but being in the presence of someone who could make her lose her job with the flick of his fing

The men tightened their hold on the girl, who whimpered with pain escaping her mouth. The taller man, who had a scar on his top brow, scoffs with irritation. “This is none of your busy boy, get lost!” The man growls, making Lucian clench his fist while his legs are rooted to the ground. The shorter man, seeing Lucian, was adamant about their instructions: glance from him to his colleague before pulling out a knife from his back pocket. “You don't want to mess with us, boy! Leave, if you know what is good for you!” the shorter man spat. Lucian stood his ground, sending a dangerous gaze between the men. The shorter man noticed Lucian wasn't scared, averted the knife to the girl's throat and she shuddered with tears flowing down her cheek. “P…Please don't hurt me.“ the girl stuttered, struggling

    Lucian's frowns deepen as he shifts his gaze from the injured men on the floor to the group slamming iron bats on their hands. They all wore black masks except for Henry, who dressed differently from them and wouldn't stop grinning. A satisfied expression spread across his features since his plan to get Lucian off his car in a lone street was successful. Lucian instantly turned to see if the girl he was trying to save was also part of Henry's plan, and when she inched closer to him, she hid her shuddering body away from the prying eyes of Henry's men. Mason shrugged off the thought since she was a victim of Henry's vicious plan. He remembers Henry making threats, but he didn't expect him to pull something like this."I see, you were able to handle these two idiots," Henry said, placing his boot on top of their heads until one of them let out a whisper from the pain. "You must feel like a hero for saving that girl, don't you think?" he grinned, his tone laced with sarcasm, but Lucian

    Lucian raised his gaze to the shattering rain pouring on the city, leaving the predatory eyes of the men staring from him to the girl handing in his shadow. None of the cars driving by dare to stop or interact, including the pedestrian who instantly retreats away from their destination when they come across the scene, as they assume the men with the mask and bat are from a gang, which always results in Violence. The rain became heavy, and none of the thugs seemed affected by the weather, especially the man who was skillfully swinging his bat, ready to attack.A dangerous smile crawled into Lucian's lips at the adrenaline running through his veins. His eyes watched every move made by his opposition. Predicting the thug's next move, Lucian lunges forward before the man can get closer to him. He quickly ducked his head, avoiding the flying bat that swung above him, and with the force of his clenched fist, he sent a heavy blow into the man's gut.With a loud groan, the masked man stagge

    The man's voice vibrated through the air, making Lucian adjust his gaze to the girl shuddering under the man's grip. The weather, which wasn't helping the situation, soared with thunder, and even the man quickly glanced at the sky before returning his gaze to Lucian. The man scoffs, tightening his hold on his blade. "If you had just done what I asked for, I would have been on my way, and everyone would have been happy!" He yelled, adjusting his gaze to his unconscious men on the floor. “You have to make things difficult by playing a hero, huh?” The loud voice, yelling angrily at Mason, made the girl shiver once more, and even when she tried to maintain her composure, the cold rain pierced into her skin. “Shake one more time and I will slit your throat!” The man yells, and the girl freezes, holding her breath. Hot tears drop from her cheeks as she holds Lucian's gaze. Her eyes secretly beg him to save her, and Lucian understands her pain signals for her to remain calm. Luci
