THE HEIR OF BELCRAFT Chapter 57
Lucas cleared his throat and stared at his grandfather. He had no idea that such a question would be thrown at him in such manner. “When I will be getting married?” Lucas asked and his grand father nodded in affirmation. Lucas took a seat and drifted off in thoughts. He knew that taking the role of CEO in such a big company would demand a lot from him, but he never thought or imagined that it was going to come this early.“Well, it is quite urgent. I mean, everyone is beginning to suggest that you may not be responsible”, his grandfather said, with a massive scowl on his face. Lucas took in a deep breath as thoughts of Emily finally crossed his mind. Of course, he had someone in mind, but it was quite hard to decipher if it would be an easy process. “I do have someone in mind”, Lucas divulged, prompting his grandfather father to look at him in shock. “From the information I received, you didn’t seem to get interested in anyone around. I mean, I heard you had a dance with a random

Emily walked into the house to meet her step mother and sister glaring at her, with a massive scowl on their faces. She could sense that something was wrong but she didn’t want to know what might be wrong. At this, she walked towards the hallway that led to her room after mumbling some inaudible greetings. “How dare you walk away from us, without saying even a single word?” Her step mother yelled out of her lungs and immediately, she stopped in her tracks. “Are you talking to me?” Emily asked as she turned to look at her step mother. Her step mother jerked to her feet and walked over to her; with a dead glare on her face. It was so clear that she was displeased with whatever it was that Emily had done. “I heard about what you did at the party! What made you think the show was for you?” Her step mother asked and for a minute, Emily thought that she had just heard wrongly.She had no idea of what Claire must have told their step mother but she could swear that whatever it was must

The next day at school, Lucas looked around but didn’t catch sight of Emily. His heart flew to out of his chest because his first reflex was that she might be in trouble. He looked around for signs of her step sister, but there didn’t seem to any signs of her either. A deep sigh escaped his lips as he made up his mind to go over and visit her once school was over. Lucas had never felt so restless all his life. During the lectures, he kept on gazing at the lecturer, even if his mind was elsewhere. He wanted school to be over on time so that he would proceed with his plans. Just then, he thought of Ella and the possibility of her being involved in Emily’s absence from school.“Hey”, he called out to Ella who stopped right in her tracks. She recalled the voice immediately and this caused a great wave of hate to engulf her.“How dare you try talking to me?” Ella asked Lucas who rolled his eyes at her and took in a deep breath.“What have you done to Emily?” He asked and again, Ella gl

Ella let out a deep chuckle as she folded her hands to her chest and glared at Lucas. “Emily…that…”, she was still saying when she felt a sharp pain on her cheeks. She swiftly held her cheeks, glaring at Lucas and wondering how possible it was to see that he actually slapped her.“Did you dare hit me?” She asked, her face showing a great sign of horror.Lucas didn’t flinch a bit. He didn’t have the intention to hit her, but he couldn’t bear sitting there and watching her insult a girl he loved. “Lucas! You would regret this!” She said as she barged out of the scene and headed straight to her car. Lucas let out a deep breath after which he sat on a chair and watched her car that drove away.He had no idea of what she was going to do, but the expression she had on her face showed that she was definitely going to punish him.Emily rushed over to him, with a panicked gaze since she never believed that he would raise his hands to hit someone like Ella.“I saw what you did! Why did you
THE HEIR OF BELCRAFT Chapter 61
Lucas didn’t hear anything from Ella until some days later when she pulled up in the school, in the company of the police. “He is the one! He assaulted me”, she yelled out of her lungs as she pointed at him and gestured for the police men to grab him.Emily was standing with him, shivering in fear and almost at the verge of passing out. Lucas stared at the situation and couldn’t help but let out a small laughter. This shocked Emily who was already convinced that he was in trouble.“Take him away!” Ella said to the police who marched towards Lucas. She didn’t let Emily go scot free either. She walked up to her and made to throw a slap across to her face, but Lucas held her hands before she could do that. “Don’t you dare do that! The day you lay a finger at her will be your end. Read my lips and understand that I mean every single word that I’ve just uttered”, Lucas warned Ella who let out a scoff and clenched her fist in fury. She threw a dead glare across to Emily again. Emily se

Ella looked at Blake for the second time, trying so hard to decipher if he actually listened to what he just uttered.“Lucas? Does the heir know who Lucas is?” Ella asked and broke into a loud round of laughter. Emily was not left out of the shock. She looked at Lucas intently, trying so hard to understand what was going on at the moment.“I’m sure the heir made a mistake. I mean, no one knows Lucas. Can’t you take a look at him?” Ella asked as she rolled her eyes at Lucas who remained silent. Blake took in a deep breath and folded his hands to his chest, staring deeply into Ella’s eyes and trying to withhold showing off the disgust in his eyes.“You must apologize to Mr Lucas right now”, Blake divulged and immediately, the atmosphere turned dead silent. Ella blinked her eyes severally as she looked at Blake again. She pinched herself severally to be sure that she wasn’t just having a dream. However, when minutes passed and the glare on Blake’s face were still intact, it dawned on

Emily strolled behind Lucas, with a big frown on her face and a puzzled expression. She had no idea of what had just happened back there, but she was bent on unraveling what it was.“Lucas, who are you?” Emily asked, prompting Lucas to stop in his tracks and turn to her.She had a thousand questions racing through her heart. However, the only thing she wanted to know was why and how it was possible that Ella went on her knees to ask him for an apology.“Who exactly are you? At first, you didn’t seem so disturbed with the fact that you got Ella angry and then, someone came into the picture and asked her to give you an apology. Tell me the truth!” Emily declared defiantly, staring into his eyes as though she could find the answer to her questions there. Lucas took in a very deep breath just as he tried to think of what to say. There was no way he would give her the truth because that was something he already promised to keep a secret.“I have nothing to say because I’m as surprised as

Emily took in a deep breath as she hanged the last cloth on the cloth line. She couldn’t figure out why she had to be the one taking care of the chores when the maids were around. “You are no different from the maids, you should work like them!” Her step mother had said to her earlier that day. A burden of sorrow plagued her heart, but there didn’t seem to be anything she could do. She had to do as they said, especially because her father barely listened to her. “I have more clothes for you to take care of”, Claire said from her window, causing Emily to stop in her tracks. Emily turned towards the direction of the voice and let out a small hiss.“Claire! I have an assignment to do. I mean, you should have brought out the entire clothes you had together with the others”, Emily said in a soft tone, still trying to sound polite even if she was at the verge of blowing out of anger. Emily walked back into the house and met the massive frown on her step mothers face.“Claire told me th

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
