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 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
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
Sweats rolled down from the corner of his head as he rode to his workplace as fast as he could.He could feel his heart beating against his chest as though it were going to burst through because he knew that he was already late. He was late because he had gone to his girlfriend’s house to help her do their dishes. Likewise, he had to wash her clothes and prepare a meal because it was a weekend.But he did not care about all this, he loved her so much, and he could give in anything just to make her comfortable in his life. Besides, she is the only one who has ever accepted him into her life.Right from the day that he was born, he has been ridiculed and despised by everyone around him, and they often saw him as someone who was running crazy because of the torn clothes that he always wore.Lucas Randell drew a really deep breath. He continued riding on his bicycle as fast as he could.An air of relief escaped from his mouth when he saw the company that he worked for as a daily delivery
He got on his bicycle and headed over to Ella's Suite.They did not live in the same place. He was a student, and could not afford enough money to get a house for himself, so he had to beg one of his course mates to let him squat in his dormitory for a while.And fortunately for him, he accepted, but he had to do some odd jobs for them. He didn't care though …as long as he was going to have a place to hide his head for a while.Halfway through his journey, he stopped. He had to call Ella first before he stepped into her suite, and from the last time that he checked, she was not a fan of the announced visit.He brought out his little Nokia phone from his pocket and quickly pushed her number into it.For some reason that he could not tell, his heart was beating fast as though it were going to burst through.He waited for a while, but she wasn't picking up the calls. He tried again, and she still wasn't picking up.“What could be wrong?” He thought in his head, perplexed.He did not kno
He stared at the bracelet in his hands as he rode over to the giant hotel as fast as he could.His heart was beating fast, and he was trying as hard as he could to believe that whatever it was that he just heard about Ella, was certainly not true.But when he got to the hotel, he saw her car there and his heart skipped countless beats that he was already gasping for breath.He froze on the spot for a while, and he could not even limp as his brain was still trying hard to process what was going on.“It can't be true that she is cheating with someone else. It has to be that this is a mistake and nothing more.” He thought silently.He was confused now as he did not want to go in there and meet with the sad truth that was going to be more like a shocker to him… draining all the life that he had left in him.But he decided otherwise. If she was cheating on him, it would be better for him to catch her red-handed rather than just assume that she is cheating on him in his head.He proceeded i
Ella walked away from him and walked towards Thompson, who hugged her tightly.Lucas stared at the vacuum that she had created right before him. He could feel his heart beating so hard that the sound of it was rising to his hearing.But he could not let it end just like that. He was tired of being such a coward, constantly trying to back out of a fight because he was poor. He thought that going into a fight was only going to get him into trouble.Likewise, he could feel the Adrenaline gushing into his blood streams so hard and bad that he could hardly breathe.He clutched his hands and his feet made a rumbling sound as he stamped them on the floor while walking towards Ella and Thompson. They stared at him for a while, perplexed about what it was that he was about to do.“Get your hands off, my lady.” He growled at Thompson, pushing him away from Ella just as she shot him a really weird stare.“And what is it that you think you are trying to do?” She asked, with so much hate and disgu
Lucas opened his eyes slowly, and it was more like a sun blister all over his body. A slight groan escaped from his mouth as he clutched his hands to the covering of the soft tissue that seemed to be beneath him.He looked up and noticed a beautiful ceiling above him, and he was confused for a while.He didn't know where he was or even how he got there for a start, but he was here.Likewise, he had to find out where he was as soon as he could, and that might even give him a clue on how he was going to leave that hell of a place. Lucas stared around for a while, with his eyes darting to across the room and focusing on the glittering tiles.Then it struck him, he was in a massive hospital. It had been a long time since he visited a hospital because he didn't have the money to visit one. Talk less of a really large hospital. But there was a considerable question that was lagging at the back of his mind; who brought him to such a large hole of a hospital?He tried hard as he could to rem
