THE HEIR OF BELCRAFT Chapter 16
Ella looked at her parents and gestured for them to proceed with spilling the details.“We would rather not disturb you at first. However, we figured out that it would be best to involve you since this is a situation that affects every one of us”, her father explained.“Dad, are you trying to say that we would be poor? I will be poor?” Ella asked as cold shivers went down her spine. Her heart was beating out of her chest and sweats were beginning to form on her forehead. Different things started coming to her mind and one of them was how she planned to live if suddenly became poor.She had humiliated countless people in school because of their financial background, and she needed no one to remind her of the level of humiliation she would be facing if news went out that her family was now poor.“This can’t be happening…we can’t let this happen!” Ella said defiantly as tears started dropping out of her eyes. “We can’t let this happen, Dad! What would people say about me?” She asked, s

Lucas was heading to the school library when he heard some students chattering about his ex-girlfriend. He made to look away from it and pay attention to finding the book that brought him all the way to the library. However, he figured out that it won’t be bad to catch a glimpse of what they were talking about. “I heard that her family is on the verge of going bankrupt. They’ve tried everything they could to gain the favor of the Belcraft group”, he heard someone say. A small scoff escaped his lips as he listened on…waiting to catch wind of the main part of the story. “I heard that there is a secret heir…he would rather not make his appearance public. That secret heir definitely hates Ella’s family”, another person said, and they all broke into an uproar of laughter.Lucas took in a deep breath and clenched his fists in fury. He could still recall Ella’s words vividly. The way she insulted him and told him that she was only using him to get her parents off her neck…He didn’t mind

The next morning, Thompson got dressed in his most expensive tuxedo. He looked so clean and handsome, and was certain that his pleas would be taken into consideration.Ella was not left out of his plan and quest. It was about her parents and so, she stood by his side to cheer him up.“I’m glad I met someone like you. Thank you so much for helping me and my family”, Ella said, and she pulled him into a warm hug. They held their hands together and walked over to their car.“I want to go with you… I would like to be there with you just as you meet with the new heir”, Ella suddenly said, causing Thompson to look at her with an unsure gaze.“I think it would be best for me to go in alone. Remember that I said their family and mine and so close…inseparable”, Thompson said, with his voice laced with pride.“Then I will just ride with you and wait in the car until you come back”, Ella pleaded, wearing a soft gaze to bend his decision for her good.Thompson took in a deep breath and forced a

Ella smiled the minute she saw Thompson walking out of the company in his majestic strides. She was certain that he was successful with what he went over there to do.“How did it go? I waited here all day!” She smiled, even if she wasn’t so pleased that he took all of the day.Thompson let out a small smile as he tried to think of the best answer to give her. The last thing he wanted was making her know that he was greatly humiliated in the company. “What happened back there?” She asked Thompson who drifted off in thoughts and wiped the sweats that had formed on his forehead. He wore a fake smile and turned to her.“I had a very great time with the grandfather to the heir. The heir was very sad that he couldn’t make it to the meeting. However, I’ve made my request known to him. I’m sorry that I didn’t come out on time. We were so lost in conversation that we didn’t keep track of time”, he lied and laughed aloud to conceal how uneasy he was currently feeling. Ella believed every sin

Lucas got back to his hostel and met an empty room. That was the perfect scenery he wanted because he was at the verge of having a conversation with Blake via the phone. He picked up the phone and dialed Blake’s number and at the first ring, he picked up.“Good day, young master”, Blake said from the other end of the call.“Hello, Blake. Hope you had a great day?” Lucas asked as he swirled around the chair in his room, with a small smile visible on his lips.Blake kept mute for a second after which his voice came up again.“Yes, young master. You sound so excited, what has happened?” He asked Lucas who chuckled softly and took in a deep breath.“I need feedback on how today went with Thompson”, Lucas said and Blake let out a soft laughter.“He waited all through the day, hoping to meet you. He was so disappointed to get a letter instead”, Blake announced and Lucas broke into an uncontrollable laughter.It felt so great to see people who claimed to so rich, willing to do anything whe

Blake quickly placed a call over to Thompson. Thompson had been anticipating feedback from him ever since he replied and informed him that he was available to do whatever it would take to gain his favor.At this, he took the call the minute his phone rang. “Share the good news with me, Blake”, Thompson said. A massive smile was spread across his face. The line was silent for a while, after which Blake took in a very deep breath. “You would have to clean the entire restroom of the college for three days”, Blake dropped and for a minute, Thompson thought that he had just heard wrongly.He even took a peek into the screen of his phone to be certain that he heard correctly.“What do you mean by that?” He asked, with a big frown and questioning gaze.“Once you are done with that, you will have an audience with the CEO”, Blake dropped and quickly ended the call. The next minutes following the call he had with Blake was quite epic. He remained rooted to the spot, pinched himself at interv

Thompson paced around the school field as he recalled everything that had happened and how his family was also at the losing end. He had thought that this was just about Ella and wanted to opt out. But then, his family was involved too.“Shit!” He yelled in rage and slammed his foot on the ground, slightly wincing in pain. Why did he get involved in their mess? This was the question that swirled around his heart.Perhaps, if he didn’t promise to help Ella, none of these would have happened. Deep down, he blamed himself, but at the same time, he knew that there was nothing he could do besides dance according to the tune of the order.“This new heir…you are really something. Aren’t you?” He muttered under his breath, thinking of how someone would be so cruel to dish out such an order.“He doesn’t even know me!” He yelled as it kept sinking into his head that he had never met him for once in his life.After a long time of brooding, his eyes darted back to the school building, and he sta

Thompson glanced at Lucas strangely after which he took the call from Blake.“Hi Blake, I’m currently doing what he asked me to do. Does he have a change of heart now?” Thompson asked, with a hopeful heart. He had thought that Blake had called him to tell him to stop cleaning since the Ceo had a change of heart. “No…I bring another news instead”, Blake replied and line went silent. “The CEO has extended the number of days he wants you to clean the restroom. Rather than three days, he wants it to be one week”, Blake dropped and for a minute, Thompson thought that he had just heard wrongly. “One week? How? Why?” He asked, almost yelling at the top of his voice. Just as usual, Blake had no other response and so, he dropped the call.Thompson let out a loud yell of frustration after which he slammed his fist on the wall, wincing in pain and frustration.Each of his reaction was captured on the phones of various students around and that only heightened how much of insults they threw a

Before Lucas could make a movement out of the location, a gang of boys had gathered already, surrounding him. The old man couldn't just stop calling him a thief even after he had explained to him that the money belonged to him. However, at some point in time, Lucas couldn't blame them. He had not taken his time to think through his actions. He should have known that it was definitely going to be outrageous for an odd looking man like him to display such huge amount of money, even if he was in disguise. No one but him knew he was in disguise as a poor man after all.Soon enough, it looked to him like the old man had filled the gang in with the wrong details. That explained the disapproving and angry stares they gave to him. It was unfortunate that even as he tried to plead with them so he could tell them the truth from the misconception the old man had, they had began to throw blows at him, kicking and slapping him at the same time.Lucas considered their action to be inconsiderate, i

He was more shocked to see the group of people staring at him, confusion spread out on their faces. There were just three of them. Three women, staring at him. And neither of them was ready to move away from the spot they were standing at. Although he wasn't surprised at how they stared at him. As of that time, he was no longer the rich looking, handsome billionaire. He was now an ugly haggard poor man who was sniffing around the cliff, probably searching for what to eat. After staring at them in silence for quite some time, he decided to make a move as he suddenly remembered what he had thought of doing if things didn't work out fine. As usual, there was always a plan B.Surprisingly, the first step he took made them take another step back. Despite given the distance, he could still see the distrust that equally led to fear on their faces. Of course, he should have expected that. “I won't hurt you please. I just need to ask you a few questions.” He said, taking another step towards

The last action he did was button up the torn trousers he was putting on. Unfortunately for him, he didn't have a mirror where he could look up himself to see how he looked in his disguised form. He had made a mental note to himself before leaving the house that he had to look the poorest ever.After his several attempts to make the people around him believe that Emily was not dead had failed, Lucas took it upon himself to go search for her himself. He knew how hard he had paid people to go in search of her. However, it was heart breaking to say that there was no one who took it in their deep interest to find her because if they did, he was pretty sure that some positive results would have come out. He was presently at one of the abandoned and deserted warehouses he knew about. That was another perfect spot for a billionaire like him to suddenly transform himself into a disgusted poor man which people would want to stay away from. He had chosen the warehouse, far from the mansion so

“He used to be a student at the school.” The words of Mr. Shaw couldn't stop playing in her head. “I was able to go into the city. That was the only place I could think of finding him since no one here knew who he was. And I had to start from where we had found you. When there was nothing positive there, I moved further. Along the line, I was able to find a group of people, young boys especially who had an idea of him. According to the people I found, he used to be a student at one Belmont Academy.” The old man explained to Emily.At first, when he had come into the house with the good news of having found the man in the picture and knowing his location, Emily felt her heart gladden. Even if they were on a maybe part of finding him, she believed a clue was worth something. But as it stood, she had just one question… how would she find him in a big school just as the old man described? From the look of the young man in the picture, he didn't look like one to still be in school. So, wh

It was two days gone in her new place, and Emily still couldn't remember who she was or where she came from. All she had with her was her name which sometimes she questions if it might truly be her name. And also the picture which she had given to Mr. Shaw to help her find the truth behind it. Ever since the date she found the picture, she took it upon herself to search every nook and cranny of the bag said to belong to her, with the intention of finding anything else that could tell her who she truly was. Unfortunately, there was nothing. It was just a bunch of make up kit, the name tag, and the picture. However, what Emily was truly focused on at the moment was finding out who the man in the picture was. She believed that if she found out who he truly was, it could be a lead to her real identity.Now, she was home alone like the previous days. Mrs. Shaw had gone to her place of business, insisting that she had to fully recover before she would start working for her as they had agre

Blake stood to stare at his friend in confusion. He didn't want to believe what he had just heard from him. But then, he was forced to believe him, owning to the seriousness on his face. “I have a lot of questions concerning this if you're actually serious about it.” Blake finally opened up to say.There was a reign of silence as Lucas didn't respond to him. “How did you leave to find Emily? Where did you also go to find her, Lucas?” Blake asked, hoping he would still get a response from him because definitely, he was curious.“When you all were asleep, foolishly believing that she is actually gone for good.” Lucas answered, a sting of betrayal playing in his voice. “Lucas, you're endangering your life.” Blake said, concern glaring in his voice.“I don't care if I had to do that. All I want is to find my woman.” Lucas said forcefully, turning to look back at Blake.“Let me remind you that this supposed woman is dead.” Blake said. “Her body was not found. That doesn't mean that she

“Is he still locked up in his room?” Mr. Belcraft asked Blake the moment he walked in. Blake let out a deep sigh firstly before he could respond.“I'm just coming in. But I bet he would still be locked up in his room.” Blake finally answered. The old man was the next on line to let out a deep sigh. When Blake watched him closely, he could see the wrinkles which had appeared on his face. It was clear to him that the old man was more stressed up than anyone else could be.And truth be told, he just had to be, owning to the fact that he deeply cared about his grandson.“Will you help me go check up on him?” Mr. Belcraft opened up again, pleadingly.“Of course Mr. Belcraft. I would do that.” Blake said, and he nodded his head in approval. Blake then turned in the attempt of doing what he had come to do as well as what he had been pleaded to do. However, just when he was about to take further steps upstairs, leading to Lucas room, he suddenly stopped. He quickly turned back to him. “Mr. B

All through the ride last night, Emily couldn't get her head off the fact that she was about to go start a new life in a village she knew no one or nothing about. Although underneath the scary feeling, she felt thrilled to go start a new life. When she thought deeper about the bold step she had taken towards an unknown destination, she pushed aside the fear that clunged onto her. After all, she couldn't remember who she was. There was a possibility her new journey could make it all happen. The clattering sound she had heard caused her to open her eyes, and sit on the bed. "Oh, God." She yawned deeply. For a minute, she had forgotten that she was now in the home of her saviors, the old woman and her husband. After she had pleaded with her to let her leave with them, the old woman had thought of it wise to inform her husband. Clearly, Emily didn't object to it. All she did was pray inwardly that the old man was going to accept it. And he did. While they took it upon themselves t

She had thought that the smell of drugs, syringe, and possible vomit had only conjured in her dream. However, she was all wrong when she opened up her eyes. Her first sight was the bulb producing light which was on, and the rolling fan. She stayed put for a while as she tried hard to realize where she was. Sadly, the harder she tried, the more pain she felt. The young lady closed her eyes shut again. This was in a bid to calm her hurting head, and also see if she could get anything. When she did it for the longest time she could remember, and nothing happened, she opened back her eyes. It was at that time she used the opportunity to look around where she was. Definitely, she had not been wrong when the smell told her she could be in a hospital. Even if her memory had a bit of lagging behind, she could as well recognize what an hospital looked like. But, she still couldn't think past the question she had. Why was she in a hospital? She thought. Despite the struggles, she finally
