Unaware of what he had done, Lukas went around town, clubbing. He thought of a perfect plan to seal his mother’s mouth. He knew she was a greedy woman.“Lukas will you come here right this instant! Don’t you dare walk out on me” his mother shouted at the peak of her voice. He stopped in my tracks and turned to her.“Mum, could you please tone down your voice.” Lukas frowned “Lukas you can’t keep going to parties every weekend. What of work?” she said as she kept following me around like a puppy. Her voice composed this time.“Mum please leave work alone for me. Right now I just want to unwind. “He knew just the best thing to shut her up. He went into his car and took out wads of cash. He estimated the amount. It was triple of the amount he always gave to her. She smiled shyly as he stared at the money. He knew his mother to well. She was a gold digger that was why she ended up with a liar like his father.“Now mum, if you would excuse me I have somewhere I have to be” Lukas said ki
Once in the comfort of his hotel room, Lukas then began to read to read the diary like book.******14/2/1846I felt cheated and played. What did he take me for? A fool? The bag containing the medicines I had made for him, dropped to the ground, the moment I looked and I locked eyes with him. He said something to the people with him and with that he took giant strides towards me but I ran off.I ran and he ran after me.“Where are you going?!” I heard him shout in that Baritone that I have grown to love. I didn’t answer him as I increased my pace.“Liar! Stay away from me!” I shrieked as I ran. Tears began to spill from my eyes but I wiped it off immediately. I dare not let him know how, he affected me. I thought I was far from him as I didn’t get to hear him again. Just as I was about to turn, huge hands grabbed me and picked me up. I turned to find out that it was him.“Where are going to?!” If you leave here, you would be as good as dead” he warned.“Where I go is none of your bus
Henry paced the balcony. He couldn’t sit or stand. All he imagined is how he would either out a bullet in Lukas’s head or choke the living daylight out of him. Luther was mad at him. “Have you seen him?” came Luther’s voice the moment he stood at the entrance of his room. Henry bowed his head. “No” he was ashamed of himself for not nipping Lukas in the bud. He didn’t know what he was waiting for. The arrest and the call to Luther that afternoon was the most embarrassing call he had to endure. Luther was giving him one word answers. He had to use his brain to decipher the real meaning of what Luther was saying. As he stood there, he was expecting that Luther would go on a rant. Telling him how he was disappointed him and all. He shut his eyes waiting for it come. When he came he had expected Luther to slam the door on him. But Luther did none of that. Rather Luther sat facing the window. He didn’t even spare him a glance. “When the boy comes in, be sure to tell me. Don’t cover up
Meanwhile Laura had heard of the girl her father wanted Henry to marry. She had a mental breakdown and she stayed days crafting her plan. Henry would marry no one but her. She would make sure of that.Ruby’s POV “Ruby!!!! Where the hell are you?!!!” Chloe shrieked.My ears bleed any time, Chloe calls my name just like this. She does this every freaking time. And it doesn’t get any less annoying. The princess knows that I am not hard of hearing but she insists on calling out to me in an ear-piercing scream.“Yes Miss Chloe, I'm already here.” I said immediately, before I am been thrown into a cell. I am not far from her, just almost at her door but she always want to be a drama queen. As I increased my pace on the stairs. I stop suddenly as I notice my legs are all wobbly, from all the running around. As I am about to fall, I use my free hand to hold unto the rails and in the process I mistakenly stub my little toe at the edge of the door.“Aarrgh!” The pain goes straight to my head
Henry sat up in bed. Sleep has eluded him. He kept going over what Lukas has said about Windsor.Windsor his old man? His dad? Henry shook his head as if to rid himself of that thought. It was a lie. Lukas must have wanted to hurt him with his words. He checked the time. It was 4am. Perfect. He threw on a shirt and headed for the gym. All through he couldn’t concentrate. Hid mind kept going back to what Lukas had said. He once again ruled that off as a statement made in anger. He continued weight lighting. Engrossed in his thoughts, he didn’t know when someone came in.“At this rate you could be a gym rat” Henry turned to find Jackson standing in the doorway.“What are you doing awake by this time?” Henry asked as he grabbed the door with a grunt.Jackson walked in and went to the treadmill. “I just couldn’t sleep” he began setting the treadmill. Henry looked at the guy. They were fast becoming close to each other. In reality he was the only friend he had.“What of you? “Jackson ask
Laura had something sinister planned for Chloe, the daughter of Windsor. She just had to take Chloe out of the picture and she would have henry all to herself. Everything was going as planned except for Chloe’s maid. Ruby was still sleeping and was yet to wake up. “When she wakes up, inform me” Laura ordered her men and she walked away.******* Ruby jolted up from sleep. Her breathing was ragged and she was soaking in an ocean of her own sweat. She had a terrible night mare but as weird as it would sound, she didn’t remember what it was all about. No matter how she tried to remember, her head was just in case. She tried to steady herself to know what was actually going on but she kept seeing things in twos. She noticed some odd things. Firstly her room was bigger. She wondered when her match box sized room had turned into this that wasn’t all. It was so exquisitely furnished. It looked like a room meant for a royal. She squeezed her eyes shot. Willing herself to, concentrate. And
Chapter Forty One“Ruby!!!!!!!!” Chloe screamed my name at the top of her lungs. I closed my ears at her up and walked to her room. I didn’t know Chloe became more unbearable after seeing Laura or was it all in my need.“Yes Chloe” I said. My voice depicted nothing but stress but the last thing the Windsor and his family would do is to give a fuck about my wellbeing. They never cared.“You disgusting thing. How dare you serve me cold food!” she fumed. And with that she poured the rest of her dinner on me. Just then her mother came in.“What’s wrong baby?” her mother asked as she stared at me in disdain. She couldn’t and didn’t hide her contempt for me for one minute. Chloe explained everything. She consoled her daughter and turned to me.“You– she said staring at me like I was not worthy of even being in her presence– what are you standing there doing?” “I’m sorry Mrs. Lizzie” I said and with that I painstakingly packed every grain of food and promised to call the cleaner to do a be
Henry stared at the message like he had been glued to a spot.“What’s that?” Jackson asked.“Oh it’s nothing” Henry smiled. Jackson knew it was a lie. The journey home was a quiet one. Not even some radio music. The moment Jackson drove in, Henry didn’t even wait for him to park. He got out of the car and slammed the car door a little too hard. If he was in a better mood, he would have winced and apologized but he didn’t. He walked straight to his room. He was feeling cold and hot at the same time. He needed to shower. The moment he got out of the bathroom, he knew he had been delaying this too long. He couldn’t wait any longer. He picked up his phone and called the number that had come with the message. It was unavailable. He called again and again and again. The result was the same. He slammed the phone on the wall and immediately a knock from outside his room. He stopped and listened. It was indeed his room.“What!” he glared at the door like as if he was staring at the person at
