The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Returning Home
"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
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Days Of Peace
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
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Their Day Off
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
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Brunch
"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
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation All Expenses Paid
"Now that's what I call a meal." Luke thought to himself while looking at his emptied plate. Luke had already finished his meal while Ella was only halfway done due to being distracted by watching him. But now that she was finally able to concentrate fully on finishing her breakfast, she had no problem devouring every last crumb left behind on the plate. With plates cleared and empty, the two of them watched on as their table was emptied. "Now that we're no longer starving, It's time that we head to our next destination." Ella announced while standing up from her seat and walking around to Luke's side. She offered her hand out to him and he gladly accepted it, allowing her to pull him up to his feet as he pushed in his chair. "Where are we headed next?" Luke asked curiously as she guided him towards the exit of the restaurant. "I'll let you guess." Ella said coyly and wiggled her eyebrows up and down. "Hmmm, is it a movie theater? Or maybe some kind of club?" Luke pondered aloud
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation I Think That's Enough
Returning from their room's shower, Luke grabs hold of two fresh bottles of water, handing one to Ella before sitting at the foot of their bed. Sweat dripped down his brow and chest as he gulped down the cold liquid before wiping his mouth on his sleeve. "How many laps have we completed?" He asked in an exhausted manner. He looked at Ella who was lying on her stomach beside him while rubbing his forehead tiredly from his rigorous workout earlier today. His body was sore and his muscles ached heavily. He felt a sense of accomplishment for some unknown reason, even if he was dead tired from it all. "About six, or was it seven? I kind of lost count after the first one." Ella teased with a playful expression as she rolled onto her back and allowed the water to flow into her mouth before swallowing it down her throat. "You sure know how to work a girl out." Ella added with a smirk. She looked at her lover who was still dripping wet with sweat pouring down his face, chest, and back. "I a
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Unexpected Guest
Reaching behind his back, Luke brings out another goofy shirt with a picture of some old man with sunglasses and a large blunt on it and hands it over to Ella. "Are you serious!?" Ella questions in astonishment. "I'm not wearing that. No way! You're crazy!" "Don't be like that darling. Don't you want to match with me?" Luke says sarcastically while swaying the shirt in her face. "I will literally die before I ever wear something like this to a function." Ella replied bluntly while folding her arms and rolling her eyes. "So cruel." Luke comments with a pout. "Don't give me that look. There was no way in hell that I was going to put that on. I'm sorry." Ella said while holding up her index finger for emphasis. "If you insist on wearing yours though, then go ahead. I'll at least wear something a bit more casual if you want us to match. "That's fair enough." Luke conceded as he watched her step into the closet. She shuffled around inside while analyzing the large array of clothing
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation My Biggest Fan
As the captain took his leave, All that Luke could think about was the appearance of his sister. He had never found out where she had gone but not only did she seem completely fine after being kicked out of the Cordovan household, she even had enough money to invest into this impossibly large vessel. When did this happen? As far as he knew, she didn't have anyone supporting her aside from her now ex husband. Maybe there was someone in the background helping her out financially? Luke wasn't quite sure about any of that but it did make him wonder about the situation at hand. Was the fact that his sister suddenly revealed herself simply a coincidence or was she planning something? It wasn't exactly a big stretch for him to think about. Luke was so deep in his own thoughts that he failed to notice the growing crowd of people gathering around him. The mass of people all waiting for a chance to speak with his clueless self. *Ahem* "Excuse me Mr. Castellan." A man's voice interrupted Luk

Something Only He Can Do
The passenger side door swings open to reveal A thin passenger with long hair tied up into a ponytail. He was dressed casually in a white collared shirt and black slacks. "Welcome back brother. You made quite the entrance I must say." Jonathan said with a smile from within the vehicle. "So how was your vacation?" Luke looked at his brother with disdain, "What are you doing here!? Why did you have to show up now!?" He growls angrily. "That's a silly question. I'm just here to pick up my brother and his companion." His older brother explained, "why don't you have a seat so that we can catch up. It's about time that we have a talk." Jonathan suggests with a grin while gesturing with his hand out towards the passenger seat. "Don't get your hopes up. I wouldn't ride in the same space as you if you paid me to." Luke retorted coldly. "How about you run on home and wait for me to tear you down, just like I did with Marilyn." Luke tells him with a scowl. "I'm sorry to hear that, but I don

Home Sweet Home
Luke watched on in shame at the mess taking place in front of him. The room was already cluttered as is with the bodies of the guests scattered about, but now Ella and Le were making an even bigger mess of things. And all over a single bottle of liquor. "Haha, your going to have to try harder if you want to catch me." Ella remarked as she kept away from Lee while holding on to the bottle loosely in her hands. "You think you're funny!?" Lee huffed in frustration as he attempted to tackle her but she effortlessly dodged him and quickly disappeared behind the bar. "Ha Ha Ha! Very cute Lee." She taunted him as she tipped the bottle upside down, allowing the liquid to flow down into two glasses. She handed one of them to him with an amused look before downing her own glass in an instant. "Hey! You can't just drink it like that! It's not a shot!" He said while pointing his finger accusingly at her. "Oh yeah? Well I don't have any patience today so I'm going to just drink it however I d

One Last Drink
A week and a half passes and Luke, Ella and Lee are now able to see land. It wouldn't be long now until they were back on solid ground. "Ahhh, Doesn't it just look so nice?" Ella exclaimed joyfully while looking out the transparent plane covering their room. Her eyes were fixated on the land as if it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Luke couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm, but he also found it somewhat amusing seeing her this way given how much she had been through recently. "When I get back I'm going to take a nice long bath with extra bubbles and candles. Maybe even light some incense while I soak under the starry sky. Then I'll get out and dry off slowly while laying out by a pool somewhere in the desert with an ice cold beer in my hand." Ella continued on with her fantasy. "What about you half-pint? Are you going to go back to your family to tell them what happened? I'm sure that they would want to know how their youngest son almost died on his business tri

Announcement
"So how long do you think it will take before we set foot on solid ground again? I'm starting to get a little nauseous." Ella said while looking down at her stomach. "Not too long I hope." Luke replied while staring ahead at the transparent plane covering the room. It's been a little over a week since we set off, so I would guess that it would take around the same time going back" He told her while scanning through different screens on the walls. "At this rate, my boredom is going to kill me before Jonathan can get the chance. I can only sit here so long without going insane." Luke complained with a groan, as he sat down in one of the seats. "I need something to read, or do... anything would be nice" Luke added as he began scanning around the room for any kind of entertainment that might be lying around. Searching the cluttered floor, Luke spotted a few different magazines that were spread open on the ground. grabbing a few of them, Luke tossed one of them over to Ella as he began

Back On Track
Ella follows Luke as he opens the door leading further ahead inside the ship. Covering their eyes to shield themselves from the sudden increase in brightness, The duo enter into the vessels bridge. The sun is raised high in the sky outside, and the warm air from the heat vents makes itself known throughout the ship, creating a strong contrast against the dimly lit interior of the ship. "This thing looks like it's straight out of the 2000's." Ella mumbled aloud as she followed behind Luke, staring down at the small computer consoles on the wall before them and their array of buttons and dials. Luke turned around and nodded while he scanned through the screens and monitors displayed in front of him on the wall. "I hope this isn't as complicated as it looks." He said as he reached out his hand and pressed a few buttons on the panel in front of him, causing the ship's lights to brighten up. "I guess I know what this does now. Hmmm, Let me check on some things real quick." Luke tells her

It's Not Over
Turning his back to his sister's unmoving form, Luke walked over to where Ella stood and wrapped his arms around her. Holding her close to him as he tried desperately to hold on to what little sanity he had left. He had acted confident in the moment, but had yet to fully realize what he had just done. Once again, he had managed to find his way back to the path that his brother had set for him. He was finally beginning to take control of his life and destiny and yet, once again he found himself on the verge of losing it all. "What is wrong with me?" Luke whispers into Ella's ear while tightening their embrace. His hands shaking as he attempted to calm himself down, but the thought of what he just did continued to plague his mind and make him panic. "I killed Marilyn. I didn't just kill her, I actually strangled her with these hands. I watched her life leave her body. What the hell have I become?" Luke asks as he tries to calm down and regain his composure. Ella could feel his hands

Not Your Fight
"Is this what you call fun!" Ella said through gritted teeth as she glared at Marilyn. "Is this truly just one big game to you!" Ella shouted with rage. "You're just picking and choosing who lives and dies because you think you can! Just like those poor kids!" Ella screamed at the woman before her as she bawled her fists and raised them high. Marilyn let out a small laugh at her statement before turning her gaze down to Ella and giving her a smile that was meant to look kind and welcoming but instead gave the girl chills. "Oh, sweetheart! Don't you know that there are more important things than living or dying. Everyone here is doing their part to ensure a brighter future for everyone. Even you." She said as she stood up from her seat. "But you see, I don't have any plans for you today dear. Your time hasn't come just yet. The only one I need is my dear brother. After all, this was set up just for him." She said as she attempted to walk past Ella. But Ella's anger flared up once ag

Rage
As the screen fades to black, Luke can hear the sound of heavy machinery above him. Swimming up with his key in hand, Luke pops his head out of the water to find a thin catwalk extending from the wall opposite of the door. It continues to extend until it reaches the door, creating a path for him and Ella to stand on. Although out of reach currently, The water continued to rise which would soon allow them to reach the door if they wanted to escape. With a glance at Ella, Luke can only shake his head as he watches her playing in the water like a child. She's definitely enjoying herself way more than she should have been. Watching Luke play must have truly bored her. Once the water level was high enough, Luke grabbed hold of the catwalk's railing and pulled himself up. After taking a quick look back towards the water, Luke reached his hand out to pull Ella up from below. "Why, thank you kind sir." Ella replied sarcastically as she placed her hand in Luke's grip. The two were now sta

Master of Cards
Pushing to finish this game in the next round, Luke raises his head and takes a deep breath, as the water was now high enough to cover his face. Turning to his side to check on Ella, Luke could see her floating away on her back while giving him a thumbs up. He could tell that she was having fun despite the obvious danger approaching. But at least this meant that she trusted him to pull through. Finishing his breath, Luke dives under to see what was happening on his screen. His starting hand turned out to be a 15 made up of a 7 and an 8. Unfortunately, though. It seemed as though player 1's turn was taking much longer than usual. The same thing happened last round, so it wasn't unusual. Luke was just in a bit of a hurry considering his circumstances. Finally taking his turn, Player 1 instantly used the cover option and ended his turn with a Hit. Putting his cards count at three and locking down anyone's ability to manipulate his cards was most likely the best alternative. With playe
