THE HEIR OF BELCRAFT

Chapter 3

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 inside, but as he was attempting to step into the place, the guard standing at the door stopped him almost immediately.

“And what are you trying to do?” The security guard inquired.

“Do you think that this is some psychiatric hospital or something?” He shot at Lucas after taking a proper look at the clothes that he was putting on.

“And what the hell in the name of ten devils do you think that you are trying to do?” Lucas shot back at him.

He wasn't desiring any chit-chat as he was already annoyed, and he needed to get in there as soon as he could, to know what exactly it was that he had to believe now.

“I'm trying to say that this is not some charity organization, and it would be better for you to head back to wherever it is that it seemed you came from.”

Lucas clutched his hands, trying as hard as he could to control his rising anger.

“I am not going to leave this place without getting in there, and you are going to get out of my way, or I might likely do something to get you out of that place.” Lucas dropped, and a burst of laughter escaped from the guard's mouths.

Lucas was frustrated at his behavior now.

“Well, I guess that you will have a lot of work to do, trying to get me out of the way.” He was still rocking hard with so much laughter.

“Do you even realize that my girlfriend is there, and I need to get to her urgently?” Lucas spat out from his mouth and the security guard stared at him in amusement.

“You are mad, aren't you? Just take a proper look at yourself. Do you even look like someone worthy enough to have a girlfriend?” He laughed.

Lucas was already getting tired of talking to the man who was right before him. He had to go to the manager. Maybe he was going to be more reasonable.

“You know what? Just take me to your manager and let me talk to him.” He growled.

“Well, you can't see him.”

“What!” Lucas exclaimed.

“I guess that you heard what I just said pretty well, and I meant it. You can see him.” He said again.

Lucas could not stand it. He was going to do anything that he could do to get into that place.

He kept yelling until a young man, perfectly dressed in a white suit, walked over and stared at him.

“What is happening here, Henry?” He shot at the guard.

“I don't really…” The guard wanted to say, but Lucas would not even allow him to finish up with his statement.

“I need to see the manager right away.” He shot.

“Well, I guess that you are talking to him already. So, what's wrong?” He inquired.

"I have already explained to this employee of yours, but it seems he is just way too dumb to understand what I have been trying to say. My girlfriend is there, and I need to see her urgently”, Lucas noted.

But then, immediately he spat out the words from his mouth, the eyes of the manager brightened.

“Your girlfriend?” He returned again and from the look that was hanging on his face, it was clear that he did not believe a single word of what Lucas just spat out from his mouth, but he pushed the surprised look away from his face even because Lucas could notice.

“Well, I am sorry to disappoint you but apart from the fact that you are not fit physically to go into the hotel, you need a membership card before you can walk into the hotel.” The manager explained to him and his eyes brightened.

It meant that with all the effort and the wait, he could not go in. At the height of his disappointment, he saw her walking out of the hotel room.

Lucas made to run over to her, but he noticed that she was with someone who was just beside her and kissing her.

His heart skipped countless beats and shattered into a million pieces.

When he looked closer, he noticed that it was the school prince, Thompson. The most popular guy who always had any girl he wanted.

His face squeezed into a deadly frown, coupled with his broken heart

So, what the people were saying about her cheating on him all this while was true, and she had always been cheating on him all this while. He was so blinded to that fact…

He could no longer stand there and before the guard's could notice, he broke away and ran over to Ella.

Likewise, he could already feel tears forming at the corner of his eyes, while he tried as much as he could to push them back.

“Ella, how could you?” The words shot out of his mouth.

“What's happening here and what is the piglet doing here?” Thompson shot at him with so much disgust written all over his face.

"Love, I guess that this is a mistake. Just give us a few minutes together”, Ella noted and kissed Thompson on his cheek.

Lucas was still confused while he tried as hard as he could to process what was going on in his head, but before he could get to say anything, Ella pulled him aside.

“And what do you think that you are doing here?” She shot at him, and there was not even the slightest trace of remorse in her eyes.

“What am I doing here?” Is that the only thing that you have to say right now?” Lucas shot.

“Shut up and listen to me. I never knew you, and you don't know me either.” She explained to him.

“What are you even saying, Ella? I thought that you said you loved me and here you are, cheating on me with another man. And this is what you have to say? Are you for real right now?” Lucas inquired.

“Loved you? See Lucas, let me put this straight to you once and for all. I only needed someone to show to my parents as my boyfriend or something so that they were going to stop bugging me about getting married”, she explained, and Lucas felt his heart sinking.

“Just take a look at us. Are we even compatible?” She inquired.

“But.”

“No Lucas, No buts. Just get this straight. I have found someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with, and don't you dare screw things up for me.” She growled.

“But we can fix this, Ella.”

“There is nothing to fix here apart from that miserable life of yours, and I bet that you have a long way to go.” She shot at him and turned around to leave, while Lucas stared, so heartbroken that he could not even shed tears.
