“Are you sure that you are ready for this?” Blake asked Lucas for the hundredth time and he nodded his head in affirmation.

“I have this mask and that is all what matters. No one would see my face or figure out what I look like”, Lucas said with a small smirk on his face.

Blake nodded his head in understanding as he led Lucas out of the room and into the limousine that waited for them just by the driveway.

Countless thoughts passed through Lucas mind, but most of it was encircled around Emily. He wondered if she got the package and If she would be coming for the party.

“Hopefully, you will find a girl your heart beats for today”, his grandfather said to him, with a very fulfilled smile on his face.

Lucas reciprocated his smile after which he nodded in affirmation. Deep down his heart, he already knew who he wanted as his partner. But then, he was willing to proceed with the protocol and do things the way they were meant to be.

The party hall was buzzing with the presence of diff

    Emily was shocked to see the main person of the day standing before her. For a start, she thought that she was only hallucinating, but after blinking her eyes, she realized that it was anything but a dream. “Hi…”, she said, with a bright smile on her face. It was quite hard to believe that someone like him was actually standing before her, even if there were a hundred other ladies there in the ball room. “I’m Emily…and you are obviously the heir. I mean, the new CEO to the Belcraft ground. The grandson I heard was found and have refused to show his face. Even now, you are on a mask and I can’t help but wonder why”, Emily stuttered, running out of words and blabbing uncontrollably. Lucas almost broke into a loud round of laughter. However, he knew that he had to be in his best behavior if he didn’t want her to figure out who it was behind the mask. “Yes…I am. And it’s nice to be standing before you, my lady”, Lucas said, with a baritone voice deeper than his usual. Emily looked at

    The party took its full course and in no time, everyone was dancing away and having the greatest fun of their lives. Lucas kept looking at every lady present, as though he was trying to pick out the one that would be the perfect match for him. That was the main reason for the party, and even if he already had his eyes on Emily, he still didn’t fail to observe the rest. Ella kept dancing and staring at Lucas. She had no idea that he was the one behind the mask and even in her wildest dreams, she would never believe or imagine that he would be in such a party. When she observed that the heir behind the mask was not making any effort to look towards her direction, she decided to walk over to him, with a big smile on her face. “You must be the heir and new CEO. I’ve heard a lot about you”, she said, blushing even though Lucas was yet to lift his head and stare at her. He knew who it was and the sound of her voice irritated his ears to the core. He couldn’t believe that she was really

    Ella was startled and slightly embarrassed by how she was shouted upon by the CEO. She felt hit by a wave of hate and deep down, she couldn’t help the feeling of dejection that took hold of her soul. “What the hell!” She muttered under her breath, staggering backwards and finally running away from the scene since she didn’t want to be the point of attraction. Her body shook just as she walked away. A countless thoughts swirled around her head as she tried to place her hands on the exact reason why the CEO turned out to be colder than she had though.At first, she had thought that he would be kind and accommodating. Even, she had seen him talking with Emily, a mere girl from school who she had no idea of what she was doing at the party. This prompted her to walk up to him, but instead, she got the greatest insult of her life. Just then, she caught sight of Emily and a wave of envy engulfed her soul. She studied Emily for a while and that was when something clicked; Emily was wearing

    Ella stopped in her tracks and swirled around to meet the masked CEO. Even if she could barely see his face, she could tell that he was mad at her. Claire was startled as well. The last person she expected to walk over to them was the CEO. She had no idea that he would be concerned with anything about Emily.“Hi, you must be the popular new CEO and grandson of the Belcraft group”, Claire said as she flashed her teeth as him, trying so hard to make a great impression.Lucas darted his eyes to Emily who was whimpering softly and obviously trying to get better after the trauma she just got subjected to.“Are you okay?” Lucas asked as he walked over to Emily who flinched the minute she felt the strong scent that came off his cologne. “Yes…I’m fine”, Emily stuttered, barely having the nerves to look into his eyes. He nodded his head calmly and turned to Ella who was silently fuming in rage. She had thought that the CEO had a very cold side because of how rude he was to her. She couldn’t

    Ella was the first to react. She looked at Emily and back at Lucas, with a strange look plastered on her face.“You got her the dress?” Claire stuttered, not willing to believe what she had just heard. The attention of the crowd were now directed to them and this was what Lucas was trying so hard to avoid. The last thing he wanted was causing any form of hiccup in a ball that was organized for him.“I hope you both can see what you are stirring up?” Lucas asked Ella and Claire who opened their mouth in shock.They were still in a state of shock that they found it so hard to believe all what was happening. “Security!” Lucas called out on top of his voice, startling Ella who was still gaping at Emily.Deep down, she hoped that she wasn’t the one who was going to get sent out of the party. That would be the greatest form of humiliation ever and she greatly doubted that she would recover from it. “Send them out of this party! I don’t want to catch sight of them”, Lucas ordered, pointin

    Ella stood outside as she stared at Lucas who was currently dancing with Emily. The rage in her heart was about to cause an explosion just as she clenched her fist in rage.Claire was standing beside her with a blood shot eyes, with her eyes also focused on Emily who was in all smiles. Who would have thought that the party she looked forward to would turn out this way? Her heart was beating heavily as she tried to think of the best way to punish Emily.“How did she meet him? They seem like they’ve met before”, Ella asked Claire who let out a deep hiss and rolled her eyes at them.“I have no idea! She is a very sneaky bitch!” She said, almost screaming out of her lungs. Ella let out a scoff after which she gulped down hard and started making her way to the entrance again. She wanted to get inside and she didn’t care if she was sent out. She was sure that he would allow her inside again. “You can’t come in ma’am”, a security guard said to her and for a minute, she thought she just h

    Lucas returned back to the dorm sometime around midnight. He was back to his normal old clothes and couldn’t help feeling thankful that he was able to escape without getting his disguise blown. He knocked on the door of his room countless times, but there wasn’t any response coming from within. He knew that his roommates knew that he was by the door but wasn’t making any attempt to come get it.His face sqeezed into a frown as he clenched his fist and took in a deep breath. The last thing he wanted was having any form of drama or disagreement with his roommates because he was extremely exhausted. “Open up the door!” He yelled on top of his voice, but none of them said a word. His anger was getting to its pick at this point. Ever since the incident that happened between him and their dorm supervisor, his roommates turned quiet and gave him some personal space. However, some days earlier, Lucas couldn’t help but observe that they were beginning to brew some trouble. What was curren

    Lucas got to school the next day, and just like the other days, there was nothing different. Students were in their different circles, talking aloud and laughing at other students who were not in their class.Just then, he caught sight of Emily who was sitting at a corner and feeling lonely just as usual. He found it hard to believe that she was the real daughter of the Gold family but was tossed aside as though she was nothing. “Hi”, he said with a bright smile as he walked over to her and pulled her into a very warm hug. Emily was glad to see him because he was the one person willing to talk to her when no other person wanted to. She wanted to tell him about how her night went and how she went for a party after so many years.“You look so happy and I can’t help but think of what might have happened to you”, Lucas said as he sat beside her and brought out a snack that was wrapped and kept inside his bag. Emily took in a deep breath as the memories of all what happened the last ni

    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
