2024-10-29 19:42:56CHAPTER ONE:
It was a rainy day in Oak Lawn and Lucas grasped onto what was left of his umbrella firmly.
Today was his wife's birthday and Lucas had worked many hours on three different jobs, his lips widened into a smile with a hint of exhaustion grasping onto his face.
He took a bus and stopped right at a flower shop, there was so much excitement beaming on his face, despite how tough things had been between the both of them, he was glad that he finally got some money to buy her a gift for her birthday.
Striding inside the flower shop, he came to a halt right in front of a white velvet flower and he knew that this was the one for her, it was snow white with a glistering of gold, there was no way Lydia was going to reject such a gift.
“How much is it?” He asked the shop owner who stood there watching him trying to make a choice.
“A hundred bucks”. The old man replied, Lucas dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out the last money he had on him, although he was able to make more than a hundred bucks today. Fabian, his friend at work, advised him to play some lottery game with a ninety-five per cent success rate.
Lucas was reluctant to play such a game considering that this was all his earnings for the day, but after consistent persuasion by Fabian, he complied and managed to scrape together a hundred bucks so that he could buy a gift for his wife.
The old man accepted the payment and wrapped up the package in a flower bag but as he strode out of the shop, his phone immediately rang, it was his manager at his delivery work.
“Hello Sir”
“Lucas! Come over to the office and have a package delivered”
“I am sorry Sir, but I have got off work, but I promise to deliver it as early as I can tomorrow”
“No, this can't wait till tomorrow, this order is from a VIP customer and I assure you that you will be tipped properly for the stress inflicted on you”.
Lucas stood perplexed not certain what to do, although his boss had been polite, he knew that he could say no or else he would be fired, but on the other hand was Lydia whom he badly wanted to celebrate her special day and couldn't afford to be late.
“Alright sir, I will be at the office” He sighed before ending the call and took the next available bus back to the office.
Lucas picked up the parcel which he was cautious of the content inside, they were elastic fantasy for men to be delivered at a five-star hotel.
After receiving the parcel, address, and room number. He sped off on the company's delivery bike to the hotel because he could not wait to be done with this and go home to meet his lovely wife.
Thumping through the stairs because the elevators seemed to be unavailable, his eyes consistently scanned the room number he held to know which of the numbers on the luxurious doors matched with
He came to a halt in front of a red door with a golden tag ‘room 309’ and gently knocked but there was no reply except for the sound of loud moaning.
*Bang bang*
He knocked again and this time, a male voice spoke through.
“Yes, who is that?”
“Delivery” He replied calmly, his eyes still beaming with excitement as he could not stop staring at the gift he bought for his wife which he held with utmost care.
There was a sound of the door clicking before it swung open and a man wrapped in a towel appeared.
“Good day Sir, this is a delivery for Mr Jared Hugo, I have been standing here for the past 30 minutes, can you sign here please?” He requested politely.
"Oh, that means I have wasted lots of your time, I was having a nice time with my mistress over there and I will greatly compensate you for that. You are such a good boy." Jared explained with a smirk on his face.
Lucas's gaze suddenly fell on the lady sitting on the bed while engrossed in her phone.
“Lydia?” He called out and wiped his eyes hoping that this was some sort of illusion that was a result of the excessive stress.
Lydia lifted her head while wrapped in a towel above her head and as her jaws dropped, she did not realize that the phone had fallen off her hand.
“Lucas! What are you doing here?” She managed to let the word slide with a frightened expression before bouncing out of the bed.
“Lydia, you know him?” Jared asked, but Lucas pushed past him and scurried inside still holding onto the velvet flower.
“Lydia, what the hell is going on, are you cheating on me?”
“You won't call this cheating because I have never considered you a husband before. I told you to sign divorce papers but you refused” Lydia exclaimed.
“What!! ” He exclaimed and everything he had been holding onto fell off as his hands slowly clutched to his chest, his heart engulfed in an unyielding pain.
“Lydia why would you say such a thing, I am your husband and have been married for three years, I worked my ass out to get you to where you are today. I was nobody because of you”. Lucas shouted.
“Well, that ends now, because I am a top actress and can't be married to a low-life like you. I married you to save you from sleeping on the street because you have no one, you are an outcast. Thanks to me I could stand you for a while. So, go and become somebody and look back no more”. Lydia spat out.
“Is this the ex-husband you talked about, I must say that you gave him more credit than he deserves because he is more worthless than you described” Jared expressed with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Lucas felt his heart shattered into pieces, although he has not been the best husband, he has been trying his best to provide for some of her needs and Lydia never failed to strip him of all his earnings each time he came back home from work.
“I am sorry Lucas, but Jared here has been the one helping my career and has promised to feature me as the lead role in his upcoming movie as long as I agreed to marry him, I was going to tell you at home tonight, but since you found out, I should at least tell you the truth”.
The words slid out of her mouth like they meant nothing but there were so many emotions attached to them, she was destroying a man who was there for her when she was nothing through thick and thin and saw her through acting school, he worked different jobs a day and did not bother to eat or save any money for himself all because he wanted to help her achieve her dream as an actress.
“No… Lydia what are you saying” said Lucas.
“I mean everything I said, I can't continue living with someone as wretched as you with no future, I need a man like Jared who is capable of taking good care of me”. Lydia smirked as he looked at Jared.
"I will forget everything I saw here tonight. Just let's go home, I'm ready to forgive you if this mistake never repeats itself. You know I love you and I can sacrifice anything for you. This man has nothing for you; he just wanted to play, use you, and dump you, your future is safe with me." Lucas explained.

Chapter Two.“Are you deaf? Or haven't you been listening to me, I can't be with someone like you, you too are below my standard, what will other actresses think of me, I will be a laughing stock to everyone. I can't boast of you as a husband in public. I will soon be the talk of the town when I finish the next movie I'm about to act in and I can't let you ever appear in the headline of news about me. Get the hell out of here!”. She cried out angrily. Jared held her because she was about to fall and face Lucas. "Hey loser, your presence is disturbing this babe, you are such a stinky lad, why can't you look for an ugly bitch that will fit your status. This babe is too expensive to maintain, if you work for a millennium, you can never get what will be enough for her in a day. This is the best advice I can give you as a man, get a local b*tch like you and manage yourself with her." he wanted to pat Lucas on the shoulder and Lucas held his hand angrily.

CHAPTER THREEOutside the mansion was a heavy storm, he had nowhere to go because even his own family had rejected him and the only friend her had at work was squatting with friends and there was no way he would accommodate him. Under the heavy storm, Lucas slept under a shield as he clutched onto his bag firmly shivering with no coat to shield him from the cold. Despite how cold it was, he was finally able to doze off and only opened his eyes when the sky shone bright, he got up, feeling cold and sore all over his body, but a message beeped through his phone. He glanced through the screen of his phone and there was a message from his bank that said: Dear esteemed customer, your account has been credited with the sum of fifty trillion dollars from the hallway betting company. He read out but wasn't certain that his eyes weren't deceiving him or perhaps it was some scam, but his entire details were there including his code. Lucas jumped up on his feet, all the pain that he was pre

What the hell is this, I have never seen such a huge amount of money before, there are so many zeros that we can't even count it”.He exclaimed and as he drifted his gaze back to Lucas, he immediately went on his knees. “Please, Sir! Have mercy, I sincerely apologize, I mistook you for a worthless human, please pardon me” He kept bowing his head as he apologized. Lucas was stunned for this was a man old enough to be his father his head bowing at him on the floor. “It is alright sir, please get up”“Please sir, you are our number one customer and I assure you that we will never treat you with such disrespect again, I assure you ”“I know that you won't, so please get on your feet. ”.

Chapter Five Lydia knew that there was no way she could run out of there and all she needed to do was chase him away before Jared arrived else he might get a second thought of marrying her. “Lucas, what do you want? Why can't you just leave me, or is it so difficult for you to understand that I do not want to ever set my eyes on you, you disgust me so much that I get this urge to puke”“Please Lydia, I have money now, we can finally start our family and live a happy life” She scoffs sarcastically, the metaphor in his words was so hilarious that she could not help but laugh out loud. “You have money! You Lucas can not ever be rich in this lifetime or the next no matter how many jobs you work and what I hear you say about a happy family, you must be indeed delusional to think that anyone can be happy with you”“Lydia can you take it more easily, that was too harsh on him, he is also human and has emotions like we do” Sheila queried. “Will you shut up!

Chapter SIXLucas finally lodged at a hotel where he had a warm bath, some good food and a change of clothes before going over to the betting company where he signed out some documents and then to the factory where he worked. He went over there in search of Fabian at work who had advised him to play the bet even though it was his last earn, but it turned out that he had just been fired, even searching for him where he squatted in the past, but he had also been vacated there. There was a flash of frustration and disappointment in Lucas' eyes, he wanted to share this happy moment with the only one that has been with him through all thick and thin but fate decided to play a fast trick on them. He sat in his hotel watching TV and he saw an advert for the annual gathering of the Coopers family. He muttered to himself, these people haven't changed their old ways, common gathering is on the news. "Lucas, this is the time to pay these people their coins, take back what they had taken fro

Chapter seven His stomach began to grumble, a reminder of its empty state, but Lucas's mind was still racing with different tasks ahead of him and how he was going to carry them out without being affected. He glanced at the clock and was surprised to see that it was already the middle of the night. He ordered light food to be delivered to his room. His door was knocked after 5 minutes. He knew his food had arrived but didn't want the room service staff to enter his room because it was late. He hurried to meet her at the entrance and was surprised to see Abby's manager sleeping on his knees. He collected his food and sent the lady back. He noticed that he could not move one of his legs because it had been grabbed by the manager. He looked back and the manager started begging him that he should take the motor and kill him right away, he knew if he died after selling the car his family would not suffer again. Lucas observed him for 3 minutes and asked him to enter his room. He s

Chapter 8 Inside the club is filled with bubbling lights and calm music, every interior use inside was sophisticated ranging from the lodges to the bar and the relaxation area with an adorned piece of art and a bar filled with a wide range of drinks to suit every taste of their members. Behind the building, there was also a swimming pool and places for sports like golf, table tennis, and volleyball, which is why people find pleasure in coming here because, other than just the quality of the place, there were fine things that they could do or watch others doing. Lucas's gaze met the family of eight that were all sitting at a spacious lodge, and he strided towards them, biting his lip nervously. “Lucas! What the hell are you doing here, and who told you that you can finally come back to the clan's annual meeting?” Sean roared as he got on his feet while the entire family that was having a chit-chat turned their attention to him. “How did you get inside?” Uncle Tristan asked.

Chapter 9: The conversation went on and on while the others were having a good time, Lucas stood there pouring in drinks to whoever needed them. Sean suddenly got on his feet and walked over to Lucas, a disdainful smile on his cheek while he held his glass of wine and slowly sipped through it. “Lucas dear, how have you been, I never thought that you would ever come back to this family after how badly you have been treated, don't you have a single atom of shame in you” “This is my family, why should I be afraid to go back to my family?” “And you do not care even if all this same family has ever done was to ridicule you. I Remember vividly that the last time you were here, Uncle Kendrick called the cops on you and asked them to brutalise you, I don't know why he had a change of mind to let you stay for a minute this time around?” He allowed me to stay because he had eyes," Lucas retorted. "Do you mean he thought you had arrived because of this fake designer you put on, can he

Lucas and Sheila walked in like a newlywed couple.All eyes were on them; some couldn't believe what they saw; the clothes they were wearing were screaming wealth.Lydia rolled her eyes toone side as she saw them and muttered, “Lucas and Drama, who did he want to impress? He wore a fake designer to feel among them.” Two ladies who had attacked Sheila came before them and stopped them from moving forward.“Where do you think you are going? You have heard that the CEO won't make it here today, and you invited your pauper boyfriend to show up with fake designers,” one of the ladies told them.“Stay out of our way,” Sheila warned them, but they refused. “You and your stinky boyfriend should leave this venue now before we disrespect you.”A sly grin escaped from the corner of Lucas' mouth as she watched them rant.“It is obvious that you ladies are tired of working here; you will soon be served your relief of appointments,” Lucas said.“Who is he that will serve us relief from duty?” “Y

You ladies should walk away because you won't escape if I take it up with you.”“Splendid! Are you threatening us? What can you do?” one of them said, rolling her eyes.“Absolute nothing when you lied that you are the CEO’s wife and you are a snitch who is dating your friend's ex, the useless and pauper man your friend rejected, and you picked it up. Good for you because you like trash. Today will be your last day in this company because we heard the CEO and his wife are coming. We will make sure we tell them how you want to steal this place and claim it as your own,” she smiled sinisterly as she rested her hands on her waist.

The play was too much for Lucas; he had a lot to do in preparation for tomorrow's premiere. He was waiting for Sheila to announce that she had gotten the money, but she didn't say anything. "Did she keep the news of getting 5 million dollars from him, or had Steve not sent it?" he mumbled under a breathHe wanted to take his phone and ask, but Sheila didn't let him be; she kept laughing and giggling.

The dirty thing
Chapter 187She felt another surge of anger as she read the part where it said all the artists would be given awards. She talked loudly and said, "Including the riff raffs, ptf... Elite should hold its stinky award for its dirty people; I don't do with the crowd; anytime it has a standard award, I should be invited." She talked so loudly that her mother could hear where she was, but she was unfazed; she thought Lydia was just talking to get her attention. She wondered where she was. Lydia wanted to drop her phone on the couch again. Her eyes swiftly caught the CEO on the text message, but she could not fathom what the CEO was doing in the message immediately. She instantly took the phone back and read the text message again. Her eyes lit up instantly; her eyes were brimming with joy as she read the CEO part. She thought another chance had come for her, and she had to be smart to take it. She walked to her room to check her poster and her skin. She saw that she had not been taking
