Chapter 162.Lucas stood behind her as she watched the event on the television, she swirled as she heard Lucas's name being mentioned and she doubted if he was the one responsible for looting the money, she recalled that Lucas had a system and he was into freelancing. Could stealing be freelancing he was into?!She mustered courage and asked, "Lucas, I heard someone mentioning your name at the event I watched now,""Do you know anything about it?" she stammered "Yes," his expression remained the same as he answered. Sheila gawked at him, tapped him on his chest and said," Stop cracking expensive jokes, where would you get such skill? If you had that, you would have rubbed a bank for Lydia,""Are you happy now?""No, I'm not, why would I be happy when a thief stole all the money,""Look at the note the person left, maybe they wanted to cheat him and he outsmarted them,""I won't lie, I'm a bit relieved but not that much, I think they deserve it. I'm tired. I will be going inside to r
Chapter 162"Sheila, I'm not playing please, marry me!" Lucas's voice was laced with emotion as he talked. Realization washed over Sheila and she moved backwards and said, "Are you okay Lucas? Are you sick again that you don't know what you are saying?""Nothing wrong with me Sheila, I can only be sick if you don't accept my proposal, I have known you enough, I don't need a date at this moment, I have come to realize that I love you and I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with you,"Sheila's eyes welled up and tears were dropping uncontrollably and said, "I don't love any longer, I have closed the door to my heart due to much heartbroken I have received from the person I loved and he decided to treat me as he liked, please stand up before people start coming in, I don't love you,"I'm sorry, Sheila, I don't mean to break your heart over and over, I could not control my emotions then, please forgive me,"Sheila was shocked by what Lucas said last and asked, "Wait! Do you know I hav
Chapter 164Lucas noticed that people following them were a bit far away from them, he instantly halted to explain to Sheila and wanted to make an excuse but naive Sheila didn't give him an audience. she didn't want any negative feelings to spoil her mood because she was feeling as if she was at the top of the world. "I'm sorry love, I have a secret to tell you now,"Is it a heartbreaking secret? "Yes,""Please keep it, I don't want to hear anything like that, you can tell me some other day, you own me and I own you now,"You asked if I still love you. "Yes,"The percentage of love I have for you has dropped to 40% if you tell me anything negative, it will drop to 10% and 0," she giggled as she explained "Alright," Lucas was thinking of how to let go of Sheila's hand then the call came in for Sheila, it was her dad calling. She released her hand from Lucas's grip and moved a bit away from Lucas, she turned her back to him because she wanted to inform her dad about the current sit
Chapter 165Kayle and the other people working in the mansion could not ask Titan what had happened to be the only one that could give them a clue as to why Sheila was crying. They could not ask because of his formidable posture. He wished he could go out and help but he didn't want to disobey Lucas's instructions, he told him to protect Sheila with everything he had until he came back. Unknown to him he would not come back completely. Sheila found his way back inside with the help of Kayle, she laid her on the bed and asked if she should prepare something for her but Sheila didn't answer, she had turned pale, she wanted to be left alone and said, "Please leave," her voice was shaking as she talked. Her phone beeped and hurriedly retrieved it from her purse to see if Lucas had escaped and needed help. But to her disappointment, Lydia texted her. Her eyes widened in horror as she read her text "Good for You!". She did not understand what she meant by the statement was she referring
Chapter 166 She took Lucas's phone to call Mr. Mayor, she had never met Mr. Mayor in person but knew he was one of the important figures in the society and the man would give her audience if he found out she was calling because of Lucas. He had called for Lucas on one or two occasions that she knew about, and his wife also sent her a gift. She took the mysterious phone that Lucas was using, she powered it but the phone was not booting. She tried harder but the phone remained so. She tossed it angrily on the bed and the phone spoke, "You can damage it like that" She scoffed and took it again, it seemed that the phone was responsive to fingerprint. She gave up on the phone and gently put it on the bed. She didn't know what she should do and fell on the bed and started crying, there was no one to turn to. She wailed uncontrollably in her room, all the workers were on their feet, though Lucas was the one who hired them, but they saw Sheila as their boss immediately after she ste
Chapter 167"Shut up or I'll kill you now!" He yelled."I bet you wouldn't dare to kill me," Lucas sneered."Whether now or later, I'm certain you won't leave here alive," he retorted."Which dictionary did you read that from? You're all dead to me. It's just a matter of hours, none of you will escape my punishment, I promise." Lucas threatened and they all quiet for a while. He thought he had won and said, "I can do you a favour now: renounce King Marcus, and I'll let you live," Lucas threatened again All the thugs looked at one another and laughed uncontrollably."This man is such a clown. I feel like chopping his leg off immediately," one of them exclaimed."I'll aim for his eyes," another chimed in."Do you know who we are? How dare you, an insignificant creature, instruct us? It won't take me a second to end your life. All I'm waiting for is the go-ahead from the king. Thousands of lives have been taken by me," he boasted."It has come to an end, no more lives to waste, I will m
Chapter 169No one had ever looked King Marcus in the face, even if they had not captured him, his boys dared to do that too. "Who is he that dared to talk back when he was talking?"He expected him to be terrified but Lucas didn't fidget, his demeanour remained the same. He ordered his boy to pounce on him until he was disfigured but they should not kill him. They pounced on him as they instructed, different hands were meeting on his body. Lucas only grunted and moaned, he didn't beg for his life King Marcus expected Lucas to beg for his life, but he refused. He didn't cry as they beat him, frustrating King Marcus. King Marcus ordered them to stop, and they all moved backwards. He raised Lucas's jaw and asked, 'Where is the money?'"Which money?"Lucas responded."The movie money you stole."Lucas lighted out sarcastically and said," The last time I checked, you don't owe me and I don't own you, I produced the movie and you helped me to turn it to auction, people were bidding f
Chapter 169King Marcus stood frozen, his mind was reeling from the shock of his secret being laid bare for the world to see. Fear gripped him as he realized the extent of the betrayal from the authorities he had trusted. He didn't know that they were not the ones who treated his case, the authority came from New York City. Robert was killed 10 years ago when he came to California for business purposes, he invested a trillion dollars with King Marcus and disappeared without notice forever. Lucas and Faboan had worked for King Marcus and they knew how dangerous he was. Fabian always stayed but Lucas never stopped to poke his nose when he saw new faces, he always saw them investing and they disappeared after investing.Most of them are always pronounced dead after investing with King Marcus and no one dared ask him because he was a friend to local and state policy, he always gave them their dues.Lucas was curious to know the kind of death that always killed them. He decided to ca
