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
Lucas stared at them for a while, still lost in shock. He attempted to come down from the bed and this time, his only option was to run away because this was beginning to turn into a nightmare gradually."Sir, I am sorry but I think that there is a mistake somewhere because this can not be true. Just look at me. I am a nobody and how can I possibly be your grandson? I wish it was true but there is no essence of deceiving myself." Lucas shot the words swiftly out from his mouth, but Lord Randolph's lips only broke into a smile."I know that this would be hard for you to take in all at once so I am going to be patient with you." He mumbled."Just calm down and you are going to realize what I am trying to put across to you." He assured Lucas and he sat back waiting for the explanation that was going to justify this calm."So your father, my son, was the heir of the company. The only heir but that was before his death." He began and his voice broke.It seemed as though this son or Lucas'
"Aren't you going to go into your new Mansion?" His grandfather inquired, with a smile hanging on his face and Lucas smiled back.But in between his smile, there were tears in his eyes. But this time, it was not those sorrowful tears, they were tears of joy. His days of penury was over and he was more like a god heir now. And to crown it all, all these things happened in a blink.Lucas nodded his head as he started walking into that mansion while he continued to stare around for a while.For the first time, he noticed that he was so lost staring at the building that he did not even notice the beautiful environment.The flowers complimented the building, tiled floors, and statues carved from a tree. Fountains littered all around. At some point, it felt as though his heart was going to skip a lot of beats.Lucas spent the night in his Mansion but the next morning, he had to return to school.But now, he noticed that he would have a really tough decision to make. Either to return to hi
