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 and scene are 5 and 6, you don't want to be humiliated alone, you drag damsel Sheila into it; what is all these fragrance all about?” Jared berrated.Lydia could not help but snorted when Jared called Sheila a damsel; he knew Jared still had interest in her but was glad that Sheila didn't give him a chance.“Mr. Jared, please do not talk to him in that manner,” Sheila pleaded.“How do you want me to address this address, damsel? He is just nothing but garbage, I regretted ever having anything to do with your ex because he has affected her life with his ill luck, Look at her over there waiting to seduce the CEO; if not, she would have lashed on you.” he Explained “Sheila, do not stop him, let me see how much he is willing to take, I'm sure he will regret every action,” facing Jared, “Do you remember what I told you the first time we met?”He blinked his eyes continuously and asked, “How could I remember what pauper like you told me? You are nothing but trash, so get the hell out
CHAPTER 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 mak
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. "Don't ever use that dirty hand
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
Chapter fourThe manager was furious and tried to stop him, but his entire bank details had popped up on the screen of the computer and as the manager glanced at it, his eyes went wild. “My God!! 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. ”. A reassuring smile filled Lucas's face as he watched the old man return to his seat and did not dare look a
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! Who do you refer to as human,
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
