Chapter 129 "If anything happens to Lucas, you didn't get him in trouble, let's assume he died, May God forbid it, he would die as a man not a woman in trousers, you should be thankful you have a hero by your side" Kelly retired Sheila shot her cold intimidating glance and said sarcastically "Maybe you should go and kill him now to die as your hero" Kelly chuckled and said "He is not my boyfriend, I don't do men" "Not my man either, we are just friends, I will make sure nothing happens to him," she said with determination "Are you saying nothing is between you and Lucas despite the chemistry? She pouted her mouth and said "OMG! I always see you like a bad girl who instantly picked the man her friend divorced" "Keep seeing me as that, I don't care" "Forgive me, I won't look at you that way again, you better be fast before the faulty vehicle starts moving again" "What do you mean? "Don't you see that Lucas loves you? Sheila quickly responded "You mean it" "Yes, I saw him
Chapter 130Suddenly, as if a jolt surged through him, Lucas slammed the brakes, bringing the car to an unexpected halt on the road. They both swayed and Sheila shot him a cold glance. His eyes widened in shock, a mix of surprise and anxiety echoing in his mind, as Sheila's acknowledgement about buying a gun for him sank in.He had no right words to respond to Sheila because he knew she wanted to bring out something sensible from her prank. He kept mute and continued driving. "I don't know what gave you the confidence to dare Marcus, I don't know if you know how wicked he and his progeny are" she complained facing the other side Lucas started whistling knowing that Sheila would react and looked at his side. He stopped when she didn't respond and continued driving. Sheila gawked at him and said "Why did you stop""Because it is disturbing you," he said focusing his gaze on the road. Do you have an idea of who King Marcus is? No, I have not encountered him before, what do you know
Chapter 131As they made their way home, Sheila and Lucas cracked jokes as she always did in her house. She feared King Marcus because his name never left her mouth and Lucas did not see it as anything. They reached their destination peacefully, Titan had been waiting for them outside, he greeted both of them and they returned the greeting and walked inside. Their stomach decided to growl at the same time and Sheila looked at Lucas and asked "What is making noise in your body?""Nothing, I don't think the noise was coming from my body but I could hear your stomach" Lucas replied with a playful grinSheila was eager to retreat to the kitchen and cook but Kayle, came out to tell them she had prepared food for them before their arrival. "Ma'am, I know you will be coming back late, I have prepared food for you""Oh! Thank you""I will be heading to dining to serve it ma""Alright, we will join you soon"Sheila searched Lucas's gaze but she could not see what she was looking for in hi
Chapter 132Her jaw dropped, a cold shiver ran down her spine, and her father's revelation about the truth of her relationship with Lucas hit her like a sudden storm. She could not believe her father knew about it and stammered," Does Mum know about it too? "No, she doesn't, she wouldn't have hated him as much. Lucas is indeed our helper but don't form relationships with him, if he is not interested, take your mind away from him. I'm sorry for not loving you when you were young, no one loves a child as much as parents do, and that is what is causing your low self-esteem, please dear, never think of any relationship with Lucas because all I could see was you were emotionally down over him. "Sheila's father advised her She retorted "He promised me a surprise tomorrow, maybe he wanted to ask me out or propose.""If that does not happen remember I will always love you, forgive me for my past."Lucas woke up from the couch and started finding his way back to his room, he passed the fron
133Bang"Good morning " Sheila had already woken up but she was in the bathroom freshening up. She heard a faint door knock and answered"Who is there? ""Lucas, good morning""Good morning, I'm in the bathroom, give me 2 minutes I will be done""Alright, I will be waiting at the entrance here"Lucas waited at the entrance of her room, waiting for her to freshen up and surprise her with all that he had prepared. Sheila called Lucas from inside after 3 minutes to see if he was still there. "Lucas, are you there? ""Yes, I am, can I come in?""Yes"Lucas entered and looked everywhere, he had missed his room. That was the first time he would enter and they moved into that house apart from the day they looked around together. "Are you ready?" Lucas said with a cold voice, his face lacking expression. Sheila's heart thumped faster in her chest, she was scared, nervous and restless when Lucas asked are you readyShe mustered courage and said in a low tone "Yes""We will head out now b
Chapter 134Embarrassment engulfed him as he retreated inside.He slammed his fist violently against the wall, unleashing a torrent of anger.He couldn't bear to face Sheila again, his trust was shattered. In a moment of blind fury, he bled his frustration onto her, believing she was like other women who couldn't be trusted. Misinterpreting her phone conversation with her father, he weaponized his appreciation as revenge, not realizing the love expressed was familial.Sheila found solace in her father.As Sheila sought refuge in her father's comforting words. Her father served as a pillar of strength, urging her to forge herself into a resilient woman, and advising her to abandon the tumultuous connection with Lucas. He warned that if Lucas sensed affection from her, Sheila should let him stay put into the illusion, enduring the repercussions of his past actions.Men didn't appreciate what came to them freely, that she should allow him to pay the price. She texted Titan on the phon
Chapter 135Lydia was happy that the 50 million dollars Lucas donated were not his, and she was not okay with him being able to manipulate someone to cough up the whole 50 million dollars. "What did he tell him to release that kind of money to useless Lucas?" she paced up and down hitting her fingers "I know he is good at manipulation but 50m dollars is too much? Why couldn't he use the skill to get more money when they were together?" she muttered to herself. She remembered how he manipulated Harrison and Elle's contour to insult her mother. She slammed her palm on the table and threw everything there away. This got the attention of her father who had been busy watching sports news on television, he was shocked at Sheila's action, they just finished talking about something before he focused his attention on the news. What could have happened? She neither called someone nor received a call. He glanced at her, he knew Lydia was worried. He allowed her to stop her m*dness befor
Chapter 136Lucas got a message fromMaxwell that 5 percent of his sharerevenue would be allocated to 30 smallbusiness management under Maxwell.Maxwell emerged as the most powerful player in the business landscape, overseeing diverse operations that include funding small businesses and dominating the computer manufacturing sector.Being that Lucas's share would be given out this year, the signature would be needed. If the companies were giving the money to make a profit, their share would be increased and if they made a loss their share would be reduced. That was why a little portion of the share should be given out. He had to be there in person to review the business of those whom the money would be given, and study their past performance before signing it. He scoffed and he saw the text and promised to be there the next day.He told Fabian not to bother about the task he gave him, that he would do it himself. He rushed out the next morning without waiting for the food. Sheil
