THE HEIR OF BELCRAFT Chapter 199
After every plan he had made that didn't yield any sensible results, and the other plans he couldn't think of because he went blank most times, Lucas walked into the venue for the crowning event with Ann by his side. He felt his heart beating in fear and not even anger. No matter what he planned to display currently, his grandfather was hell-bent on crowning him.As he found his way towards his position, he couldn't help but feel worried because he knew that countless things could go wrong since he had not tried to fish out the culprit. Everywhere was bustling with people, those who had been invited, and others who were there to work. Most of the guests were chitchatting among themselves, while others could be seen drinking and dancing to the slow tone music that was on. He looked around, but couldn't find his grandfather anywhere. He began to wonder where he had gone to. For some reason, he needed to make sure his grandfather, and everyone he loved and cared for, was safe. Suddenly

“Do you know that your soon-to-be fiancé just stepped out to meet with another woman?” Denver began as he drew himself closer to Ann.“Excuse me?” She looked at him in irritation. “I understand that you might not believe me. But, why don't you go see for yourself?” He asked, and stood up to lead the way. Ann, on the other hand, hesitated to stand up. She was thinking for a while. What if he was trying to trick her? She had heard rumors of Denver and Lucas not being on good terms. So, it could be that he just wanted to lure her away from Lucas and create tension. “You know, for what it's worth, you shouldn't be hesitating. If you want your man to remain yours and not get snatched, you would stand up, follow me, and try to stop whatever impending danger you have coming your way.” He said, in a bid to convince her. And she turned to look at him. Ann knew that she had begun to fall in love with Lucas. After their first meeting, she felt a spark between the both of them. Just like she

“What are you doing here, Emily?” Mr. Belcraft, Lucas grandfather, asked, looking at her in surprise. “I invited her to the event, grandpa.” Lucas cut in immediately, covering up for Emily, who was about to speak up. Mr. Belcraft turned to look at his grandson in surprise, too. “You went against my order?” He asked him.“No, it's not that. I -” “You just what? From all I can see here, you foolishly brought her here to cause big trouble for us, isn't it?” Mr. Belcraft went on, cutting him short. “Sir, I didn't cause any trouble. It was her.” Emily found the courage to speak, pointing fingers at Ann. “We were out here discussing, and she attacked me.” She completed. “Of course, she will attack you because you were with her fiancé. Probably trying to seduce him.” He said sharply. Just as the words flew out of his lips, she felt her heart hurt badly. She swallowed hard and tried to look away. But the smile on Ann's face only made her hurt more. She bet she was loving the whole thin

“Isn't he the one that is about to get crowned as the heir of Belcraft?”“When did he sign such a document?” “What will happen now?” While the guests kept on whispering and murmuring about what they were seeing on screen, Lucas sat still, watching them. He didn't move, nor did he say anything. Ann, who was still standing in front of him, in disbelief, walked back to sit with him. “I don't want to believe what we have on the screen. Tell me it's not true, right?” She said, waiting patiently for a response. However, Lucas didn't provide one. He just sat still, face straight ahead, nonchalantly. “Why are you not talking to me? You have to say something. Can't you see that everyone is staring at you? You're in deep shit.” She said all at once, almost yelling. Still, no response came from him. Frustrated at his annoying silence, she stood up and left. “Lucas,” he heard his grandfather call immediately after Ann had left. He raised his head to look at the old man, who was already pu

The silence hoovered around the table, making it very possible for one to know if a pin fell to the ground. Each one of them ate their food in silence, with various thoughts playing in their heads. However, amidst the silence, the two grandsons of Mr. Belcraft stole glances at each other, not in happiness, but in anger and hatred. After the electrifying news of their fight making the headlines, the both of them knew better than to get ahead of themselves, and get into some other fight or argument. Especially after their grandfather was still with them. “Has any one of you gone through the news today?” Mr. Belcraft asked, breaking the silence. Yet, none of the brothers made an attempt to respond. They just stared at their grandfather, and back at their food. They were fully aware of what he was trying to let them in on. But, none of them could explain how the old man was feeling, or even felt at the moment. “I must commend your performance at the event last night. It was quite a g

Lucas paced around his room, trying to think of what to do in order to save his face from the situation. It was beginners to look as though the entire world was against him and even his grandfather was beginning to fall in line with Denver’s tricks.“Shit!” He cursed aloud as he hit his leg on the floor in rage. His heart was beating heavily just as the words of his grandfather kept ringing in his ears. There was no way he would marry Ann. If he gets married to her, what would happen to the love he shared with Emily? His phone started ringing at that point. It was Emily. He took in a deep breath and wiped off the sweats that formed on his forehead already. “Hi, Lucas. Are you okay? I’ve been trying to reach you for a while now”, Emily explained as she waited for Lucas response to drop. Lucas was lost for words. What was he going to tell her? “We need to see”, he finally dropped and Emily’s heart skipped a beat. They picked a time during the evening and Lucas was the first to arr

Emily was stunned to hear that. A part of her heart was quite ready for something like that but it was so difficult now that she finally heard it directly from Lucas. “Okay…what are you going to do now?” She asked Lucas, trying so hard to subdue the tears that threatened to fall out of her eyes. Lucas looked at Emily softly after which he held her hands softly. “You know that I can’t do that. You shouldn’t worry about anything. I would definitely handle it”, he said with a reassuring tone. Even if he sounded quite convincing, Emily wasn’t ready to hear of it.

Lucas sat across Ann who was smiling at him, curious about what he had to say to her. He had called her earlier, sounding so urgent and solemn. “I’m so excited to see how you called me out. I mean, it’s only right that we meet often from now on. Perhaps, we would be a couple real soon”, Ann said as she wore a wider grin, making to reach for Lucas’s hand. Lucas jolted up almost immediately, throwing a dead glare at her and making her recoil. “Is there a problem?” She asked, wondering why he suddenly appeared irritated.

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
