Sitting behind a large monitor was Luke's own father. The one who had also been preventing him from removing the system that was implanted into him. He watched as his youngest son approached. The old man chuckled lightly before waving a finger in front of Luke's face to bring him closer. Luke could feel him staring at him intently from beneath thick eyelashes as he approached towards the monitor. "Hello, Father." Luke states in a low tone while maintaining a strong stare with his eyes. The man's lips turned up in a slight grin as he leaned back in his chair and rested his hands upon his desk. "Well well, if it isn't the little disappointment. How is my favorite little errand boy today?" The man asked with a warm voice. Luke couldn't help but frown at the title 'errand boy' given to him by his father. especially after all he had been put through by him. "Why did you do all of this?" Luke demanded as he pointed the weapon at his father. "Because I had to, dear son." His father repli
"You don't want to do this." Luke muttered with his fist clenched, staring deeply into his fathers eyes. "You've been using me for my whole life. You don't need me anymore and I don't need you. I refuse to be a part of whatever it is that you are planning." "It's a bit too late to share your opinion on this matter, don't you think? If you would have just listened to me and followed the path I set for you, we could have avoided all of this." He spoke before reaching out and grabbing Luke's neck in a firm grip. "And I'll tell you once more... If you choose to defy my authority, then you will die." The man growled as he tightened his grip on Luke's throat. Luke was in complete shock as the old man grabbed him by the throat and squeezed hard. He tried desperately to push up against the hand, squeezing him with all his might and was surprised when his own strength caused the man holding him to respond with even greater force. "You seem surprised." Jameson whispered into Luke's ear. "Do
With one last look at his father, Luke walked away from the room and quickly made his way back to where he had left Ella and Aria. After everything that he had been through, he just wanted to go home and lay in bed and forget about all of this nonsense. And maybe he could get some good rest without his nighttime invader getting on his case. He could already feel the exhaustion in his limbs as he hurried over to where the two girls were waiting patiently for him outside of the main room. "Took you long enough. We have been sitting here for hours." Aria spoke up as she stood up with her hands on her hips in irritation. She looked like someone had taken her favorite toy away. "I swear you are slower than a turtle on its back." Luke chuckled before looking up at her and smiling as he patted her on her back lightly. "Yeah, sorry about that. I guess I just lost track of time." He responded as his eyes shifted over to where Ella was standing. "What about you? Are you ready to go home?" E
Arriving outside the old farmhouse, Luke stopped his car on the gravel driveway and got out to open up the door for his two companions who were waiting behind him in the passenger seat. Once Ella and Aria were out of the vehicle, Luke made sure to shut the door tightly and locked it as he stepped aside for them to pass him by and make their way towards the front entrance of the farmhouse. Taking a moment to take in the rusted and dilapidated farmhouse ahead of them, both Ella and Aria looked over to Luke in disbelief. The building appeared to be in much worse shape than they were expecting after having driven so far out of town. They had expected something a bit more vintage but definitely nothing as bad as this. It was almost as if the entire farmhouse was built out of scrap metal and old wood with a rusty exterior finish. The structure looked more like an abandoned barn than a proper home. "Well well, isn't this just lovely." Ella commented sarcastically as she tilted her head an
"What's with all the noise out here. This place is already haunted as it is. Can't you at least let a girl get her beauty sleep in peace?" A voice yelled out from one of the nearby doorways." "Sorry about that, but I kind of forgot that you were still here. Anyways, how about you come out and meet your friends, Caroline." Luke responded back in a cheerful tone. After waiting for a moment Caroline slowly crawled her way out of the room while rubbing her eyes. "You guys have already met but for the sake of clarity I'll introduce everyone. This is Caroline Veneran, my cousin." Luke introduced her to them. "And this is Ella and Aria." "Nice to meet you Caroline, but I don't think that we have met. I think I would remember someone who stands out as much as you. If I did forget though then please don't hold it against me okay." Ella said in an apologetic tone as she gave a small wave to her. "Ella, Remember the girl we talked about back at the orphanage. That's her." Luke reminded her
Months pass by in a flash as Luke went on with his new life. Progress on his concert program was nearing its completion along with the addition of Ella and Aria as his personal assistants. The three of them worked side by side on the project until the day that he could present it to the world. While he was focused on his work. His fathers death had been almost ignored in its entirety. As far as Luke knew, there wasn't even an investigation on what took place. Instead, the media spread information that he had mysteriously disappeared. Which was completely false information to begin with, of course. Luke didn't know why it was portrayed this way but it didn't matter to him. At least this way there would be no one on his back for it. There was one other thing that was bothering him though. Despite the news of his fathers supposed disappearance, He not not seen any signs of his mother. She was neither at the manor or anywhere else that he could think of. She wasn't even in the town as f
Luke Awakens in the late morning hours By Ella's gentle shake. Opening his eyes slowly and stretching his arms out into a yawn, he noticed that she had already dressed herself in a new set of clothing. She wore a pair of heels with a tightly fitting dress that hugged her curves, leaving Luke stunned by her beauty. "Good Morning darling! don't you think it's about time you get out of bed. We have a date today don't we? Hurry up and get ready. I will be waiting for you once you're out of your shower!" Ella called out cheerfully before quickly exiting the room without giving him any time to respond. "Was I really asleep for that long? What time is it? How long did I sleep?" Luke asked himself as he jumped out of the bed and glanced at the clock hanging above. "11 AM. Shit." Luke cursed himself as he rushed into the nearby bathing room. "Hurry up or we won't make it on time!" Ella called out with a smile as she listened to the sounds of his frantic footsteps. "Don't forget to clean you
"First time! But what about your license?" Luke asked incredulously. "I never bothered getting one, It would have just taken up space. Plus, I'm just driving a car. I've seen you do it all the time so it can't be too hard." Ella responded cheerfully before looking forward with a playful smile. Luke couldn't help but fear for his life as he watched her grip the steering wheel in an uncoordinated manner. "Wait, If this is the first time you've driven this car, how did you get it into the parking garage?" Luke asked with concern while watching her weave between cars at dangerously fast speeds. "I didn't actually," Ella admitted with a grin. "I had Caroline help me out. She's a pro at these things." Ella explained with a wink as she took the next corner, causing the car to slide and spin out before finally regaining control. "But hey, I still think I'm doing pretty well. So don't worry about me. I got this." Ella reassured him in an effort to ease his worries, but all she managed to d
