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 sat on his knee begging him to forgive him and take the car.
"Please Mr Lucas, I know I have wronged you several times, I was scared that you would take my position because you are more brilliant than me and also smart, you always knew when the latest version of cars would be produced and your prediction was always accurate then, that is why I did many things to get you out of the company because I don't want you to take food out of my mouth. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, please forgive me." He pleaded
"Enter," he said with a commanding tone.
He sat down and took his food and the manager kept looking at him eating. He was not comfortable with his looks, so he managed to take some and asked the manager if he was hungry.
"Do you care for some?" he asked.
"No sir, I don't want to add to my sin" he responded.
He passed the remaining food to him and told him to eat, he showed him where to sleep after the food and said good night to him.
The manager was confused because he refused to say anything to let him know his mind, whether he had been forgiven or not. He drew the tray of food closer and devoured it like someone who had been hungry for a decade.
Lucas slept for just 2 hours, he managed to put his plan together during the night and was ready to execute it in the morning.He checked where he asked the manager to sleep and found out that he was fast asleep around 7 a.m. He walked close to him and woke him up to start going home.
Where is the driver that you said you brought? Lucas asked.
"I left him inside the car yesterday, I believe he must have sorted himself out," he explained.
"Take this, go home and meet your family, did you bring other documents that I need to sign?" Lucas asked.
"Yes sir, I brought everything," he responded.
He signed all the necessary documents and gave them back to the manager to put on the company stamp and asked the manager to leave and meet his family.
He gave him 5 thousand dollars to use to transport himself back home because he didn't come with his car.
It was the annual gathering of Cooper's Clan, although Lucas knew that he had been expelled and hadn't stepped foot there for seven years now his mother passed away, he wanted to go back home considering that Lydia and her family had divorced him.
Lucas knew that even though he had acquired wealth, they might not accept him back, but he badly wanted to be close to them, that way he could relinquish his revenge on each one of them who had hurt him and caused him pain.
His luxurious wear arrived in time, and he was nervous as he was getting dressed, he couldn't believe that he just ordered what he never thought of wearing in his life. He held himself together not to use emotion to spoil his day, his mind flashed back to Fabian and muttered to him himself. "If not Fabian, I wouldn't have become a rich man. I'm going to find you even if you enter the rat hole, Fabian."
He strode out of the hotel room, got to where his car was and met the driver resting on his car. He opened his wallet, got him some money to take care of himself and told him to go home to get some rest and that he would get someone else to drive him that day.
He called the manager of the hotel to lend him one of their drivers, the manager was happy at his request and got him one and they drove off where he went to meet the long-lost family that rejected him and threw him out on the street because they had written him off as a nobody.
Lucas told his driver to park outside the grand and luxurious club that was specially meant for the most influential in society and it would have to take more than just your income to be able to purchase the membership of the club.
The Coopers own the highest entertainment industry in Chicago so it wasn't difficult for them to get a VIP membership at the club.
He recalled how he was humiliated by his mother and thrown out of this club with nothing. His heart was filled with rage and he controlled himself in order not to show his weakness to his people.
He appeared to them like a shining star, his face was lit up with happiness that seemed to radiate the morning sun. His eyes sparkled with joy and a genuine smile graced his lips.
Everyone was stunned at the sight of Lucas standing right before them, although he had lost a lot of weight, he was looking more healthy than they had expected.

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

CHAPTER 10 “Lucas! You need to understand that if this is some sort of replica of the original titanium card and you brought this shit out to deceive us, we are not going to let you get away with it” Says Madam Jane. “This is the original, it has its initials and there are only five people in Chicago that have access to it, even my Boss has tried several times to get it, but he was declined by the manager”.Everyone was confused about how Lucas could get his hand on something like this, his Initial ‘Lucas. C. ’ Was boldly written on it and there was no way one would say that he stole it. Madam Jane handed out the black card again to the waiter and he slotted it in, the payment went successfully before he handed out the receipt and the card to Lucas while bowing his head at him. “Thank you Sir for your patronage and we expect to see you purchase the membership Card of this esteemed club”.“Thanks, I will think about it” Lucas replied politely while everyone kept staring at him wit

The Chauffeur was already in the car waiting for him and they immediately drove off to COOPERS ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. On their way, there was suddenly traffic but they could not comprehend what exactly was going on there, the chauffeur tilted his head outside hoping to catch a glimpse of what was going on and to his amusement was a scene of a man being beaten almost to death. “Sir! I think it is a group of men beating up a young man that has caused the traffic on the road” He explained and Lucas also stretched out his head outside to get a glimpse of the situation.

He was almost startled, with his brow furrowed as he scurried downstairs to the scene where Jared had mobilized the securities that were going to beat Lucas up. “Boss! ” Alfred called and they all turned around wondering whom he was talking about, there was no way that a low life like Lucas who is a live-in Son-in-law of the Hales family would be invited here. “We have been waiting for you upstairs without realizing that you were here, is there an issue?” Alfred inquired as he narrowed his gaze to Jared and then drifted to the securities. “Not at all, I just met an old friend and was saying hello to him” “Alright, let's go inside, the others have been waiting for you”.

He slid out of the bed with his breath rising and falling rapidly, as he tucked his trousers as quickly as he could. “What are you doing, we haven't even started yet”“I am sorry sweetheart, but I think that we will have to do this some other time”“What about the role that you pro

The large office at Coopers Entertainment was filled with sophisticated yet relaxing lights with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. The floors were polished wood while the walls were polished with white soft color. Lucas sat behind the desk on the large swivelling armchair that was made of luxurious leather. A light knock came through the door and Fabian stepped in dressed in a black classic suit that hung around his firm chest properly. “How did it Go?” Lucas, who had his eyes on the door anxiously asked as soon as he stepped in. The shooting of the movie was meant to start in two days, he had promised the board members at the company that he was going to get Mr. Hugo to be the director of the movie, that way it was bound to increase its ratings from viewers. But up until now, Lucas wasn't certain how he was going to do it. “I sent word to his Secretary because they claimed that he wasn't available, but I do not think we will be getting any response soon”“Why do you t

Madam Jane felt like her heart had been struck badly by a pretty bee, although they had gladly relinquished the post of the CEO to Lucas, they felt that he was incapable of handling such a post, once he could fund this project for them, they would immediately get rid of him. For everyone at Coopers Entertainment, Lucas did prove how inexperienced he was when he chose Mr. Hugo for this movie, although he was the best choice of director, he was beyond their grasp, a man who vowed never to have any dealings with the Coopers. But somehow he is here, he came with just a word from Lucas and yet they could not comprehend how he was able to do it.

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
