THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 16. Dinner
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 CONTINENTAL HEIR 17. Damsel In Distress
The men watched, as the figure exited the luxury car parked in front of them, and a frown appeared on their faces, as they stared at Lucian, who also reciprocated their action with a sneer. 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
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 18. Henry's Demand
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
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 19. Get Him
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 CONTINENTAL HEIR 20. Saving The Stranger
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. Lucian s
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 1. Lucian
Lucian Morningstar's melodious voice hummed through the streets of Greenvixe City. It was 8 pm, and the breeze that gazed through his tan skin was refreshing. The smile on his face was new, along with the black suit he wore. The only odd thing was the old bicycle, which made a crackling metallic sound as he returned to campus."Good evening, Mr," Lucian waved at the old man beside a counter store. The old man, who immediately recognized Lucain as the only person to tip him a few dollars, smiled at his presence. The pedestrian who walks past the counter store would cover their nose and spit at the old man with irritation. The man was disabled and looked wretched as a result of the harshness of poverty. Some people had even called the cops on him, but the police who discovered the old man was just a homeless man would do nothing.Unlike the others who avoided him, Lucian didn't. He always passed that same route just to tip the old man a few dollars, even when there was a shorter path t
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 2. Humiliated
When Lucian couldn't take his gaze off Veronica, Billy moved closer to her with a smirk playing on his lips. "Why are you standing there like a frozen fool?!" Billy voices ridicule while placing his hand across Veronica's shoulder. Lucian felt his throat tighten with no response. "Do you think someone as pathetic as you deserve someone like Veronica Montez? It is funny how you think she was dating you when she was mine all along," Billy chuckled proudly."W…what are you talking about?" Lucian's voice was small. He couldn't believe what Billy said; he knew how corny and deceiving he was. "That's a lie. You're forcing Veronica to say those words!"Billy laughed, and Veronica rolled her eyes, irritated at Lucian's behavior of not accepting the truth to end his humiliation."Nobody is forcing anyone here, Lucian. It is you who is forcing yourself not to accept the reality that you're a failure," The crowd rumbled with laughter—making Lucian's body crawl with a shiver, electrifying the ha
THE CONTINENTAL HEIR 3. A system
The splashing of water soaked Lucian's clothes. He was dragged into consciousness by the cold and pain aching through his entire body. Lucian could tell it was raining but dared not open his swollen eyes. He felt like he had been run over by a truck, and all he wanted to do was stay there until the suffering passed. "Lucian Morningstar," A warm, feminine voice called through the rattling sound of the rain. Lucian didn't know who it was but didn't bother to think due to the stings from his head, and he remained still, waiting for whoever it was to go away. "Lucian Morningstar," the female voice sounded closed, and Lucian grunted when he tried to open his eyes. His vision was heavy and blurry, taking seconds to adapt to the night.He struggled to his feet, but his legs felt jelly, and he crashed back to the ground, coughing out blood. It took Lucian a few minutes to regain his strength, and finally, he staggered to his feet. Lucian turned to the direction of the voice but didn't see
