SLASH!"Ah!"The slashing of the lackey's hand right from his elbow and his cry of anguish bellow!THUD!The full hand drops to the ground and begins scampering. It appears to still be alive.SPUTUM!SPUTUM!Blood gushes out of the lackey's barely hanging shoulder, piling up on the floor.The acidic scent of blood fills the air! At this point, no one cares about the fact that he is naked from his waist down.Yvonne and the remaining ten employees are staring at this scene in horror."Urgh.""Urgh.""Urgh."Yvonne and five of the remaining employees begin vomiting. They seem to have a phobia for blood. It turns their stomach to the point where they can't stop vomiting up everything they've eaten. Yvonne had almost vomited on Lucian, but fortunately, he had seen through her on time and moved far away!The burly figure shakes his head at the sight and tears the lackey's pants into two.He uses one of the pieces to tie up his bleeding barely hanging shoulder. Lucian wants him to live. Ev
"There was a feud in the company. These three got into a fight and while that one over there could snap out the other two, he sustained severe injuries and fainted. I'm sure guys will know why. That lady over there -""We know her condition, Mr. Kennedy," the two assessing the lady raise their heads and say respectfully, cutting him off. "She appears to have a phobia for blood. We will take our leave now. In case, there are any more questions, we can contact you, right?""Yes, feel free," he responds with a calm smile. "By the way, which hospital are you taking those two to?""Since you are involved, Mr. Kennedy, we will be taking them to Silver Crest Hospital, the best hospital in this district. I hope that's no problem.""Of course not. Feel free. That was the reason I asked anyway.""Alright," they smile. "We will inform the families of those two about their deaths, so they can take care of every possible charge.""Can I get your autograph now, Mr. Kennedy?" The same lady rushes ov
There is a huge golden circular chandelier that hangs a little low in the middle of the office as the halogen bright light cascades upon the green orchid plants situated at three different positions in the office. The plants alone give the office a soul-soothing fragrance. If care is not taken, one can easily dose off at mere contact with the office.The sun shines so brightly that its rays reflect on the huge brown Turkish mahogany desk in the center of the office filled with multiple files on a straight line, a can of pen, a MacBook Pro, and a flower pot containing a chrysanthemum flower. Behind the Turkish mahogany desk is a throne-like golden chair and in front of it are two roller ash seats for the chairman's guests. To the far left is a two-seater ash sofa and in front of it is a glistening black table with a flower pot containing a rose flower in it.To the far right-hand side is a simple, yet beautiful bookshelf with a lot of company documents and novels as well.There is
"Yvonne? Yvonne?" Lucian calls and gently taps on the desk to get her attention.Yvonne's cheeks burn and she flushes in embarrassment seeing she has just been caught ogling. She quickly averts her gaze and lowers it to the desk before slowly sitting.Lucian chuckles lightly at her flushed cheeks and sips his coffee. "I didn't catch you ogling. It didn't happen. Now answer my question."Of course, he did. He had just said that to make her feel better.Yvonne, however, knows he just lied. But since he can go that far to make her feel better, she quickly composes herself and sighs as she says, "Before Mr. Chad Kennedy purchased this company, we were on the verge of closure.""Why?" He furrows his brow."I can't exactly say Mr. Wood," she sighs exasperatedly. "Things just kept deteriorating and we kept losing funds. "We had to depend on loans. But at a point, all the banks refused to offer us loans until we pay up the money we owed them."I didn't know what to do. I had tried so many ti
The unnamed lady is perplexed as to why Yvonne is getting angry with her so quickly. Yvonne, whom she has known since she began working at Silverlight Microsoft Company, is carefree and rarely gets angry.In normal circumstances, she would never become enraged over something so insignificant. What is going on now?Is it really her question that has her riled up? She has this feeling in her guts that her question is far from the reason Yvonne is riled up right now, however, she knows how important her job in this company is to her, so to maintain it and not end up losing it because of something as insignificant as that, she can only lower her head and sincerely apologize, "I'm sorry, Miss Xavier, I won't speak again."Yvonne sighs deeply and pats herself on the head. She can't actually tell what is wrong with her. She just suddenly started having a mood swing ever since Lucian left. Perhaps, could it be because he refused to let her lead him out? Or is she literally falling deeply in l
"Wowwwwww!" The employees' mouths are wide agape. He must be so cute since even Miss Xavier seems to be smitten by his beauty! They exclaim in their hearts.The guys in the room are feeling so jealous. They have no doubt that 90% of these ladies, if not all, will willingly spread their legs for the CEO if he only coughs at them! Hah! Their hearts are green with envy. These are ladies that they have been trying to woo for decades now but none of them have been giving them face! But now these same ladies are clamoring about a young man in his late teens. They are mostly his seniors!Hmm, they sigh in their hearts. It must be because he is rich. Money does almost everything now."Miss Xavier, please tell us his name!""Yes, tell us his name! Perhaps, he might be on social media! We will look him up ourselves and follow him!""Please!" They gather around her and start urging.This time around, it is not only the low-level staff doing it. The ladies amongst the nine high-level staff are
Besides, even if he told Jaxson who he truly is, he doubts he will believe him. Jaxson had indirectly called him a pauper while he was talking seconds ago. How then will someone like that believe him if he told him such a thing? He will rather pass on that. He can't afford to waste his breath."You work here now? As what? Security? And did you say Miss Xavier hired you herself? Hahaha, who are you that Miss Xavier will personally attend to you? And who would dare go against Seth? You must still be joking with me, right?" Jaxson has an amused expression as he asks, seemingly as if he is confidently saying, who will hire a punk like you? Even our security you are not worth being! And who would dare defy Seth's order?Lucian can't bother continuing this conversation. He can see Jaxson is amongst those who hiddenly mock him. If not for the memory they shared in the past, he would have called up Yvonne and had her fire him! Jaxson's personality irks him. But for good old days, he will jus
"You are awake, Young Master Hutton," Chad stares through the rearview mirror and says, snapping Lucian out of his reverie.Lucian stiffens slightly as he is not used to being called Hutton but he quickly masks it and shrugs off nonchalantly. He believes he will become used to it someday. But definitely not today anyway. "As you can see, I am, old man. Lest I forget, I told you to wait for me because I want to discuss something with you.""I'm listening, Young Master. What might this important something be?" Chad responds respectfully and very politely, his head slightly bowed even though he is driving.He is so respectful! Lucian exclaims frantically in his head. Chad's respectful behavior is so hard for him to stomach. He is his elder yet he respects him so much! He is not so comfortable with it. But then, he knows this is not something he can talk Chad out of, he can only sigh helplessly and say, "I don't trust that young man that was taken to the hospital. No matter what, you sho
Dear readers, I know I've wronged so many of you by not updating for so long. 😭😭I'm sorry. so so sorry. I've been caught up with my second book A Billionaire After Divorce and school. I graduated last year.I promise, I'll try my best to resume writing in March. Unfailingly. Since I left the book for so long, I'll need to read it again and refresh my memory then dive in. Please give me just one more month and I'll resume updating. I hope you guys can still stick with me. Thank you. From your lovely author, GHOSTWRITER.
Perhaps he believes as far as he pushed down his ego and begged, he would undoubtedly be forgiven. After all, Lucian is a man who appears to be easily moved by apologies, regardless if they were genuine or not.But he had got it all wrong this time as Lucian merely scoffs as soon as he finishes putting up the forgive me drama and retorts,"Fancy you kneeling there and yelling I shouldn't do this when you brought it upon yourself. Hah! I've been patient enough with you, but I see you might be taking my benevolence for weakness and dismissing me as a pushover you can snap at and curse whenever you want. "As a result, I might pardon others as they didn't concur or refute you when you said what you said, but I would never pardon you! "Since you've finally succeeded to cross my bottom line, you might as well bear the consequences! Only after you've suffered that would you realize how ruthless I am as a person and know that I'm no pushover!"He sways his gaze to Chester. "Keep away from
With each word Lucian says, Cole and his brothers feel a pang in their chests that by the time he is done talking, their chests can't help but begin aching. Simultaneously, their brows crinkle and their face contort in discomfort. This is indeed what they planned to do. They'd suffered so much just because of the useless little girl and her boyfriend.Obviously, there was no way they would have let that lying down. It was just as Lucian said, they'd silently planned in their hearts to seek revenge against him later because they had to verify his identity first but would go ahead to kill the little girl and her boyfriend immediately since they already know their statuses. Like, they had not been planning to let that revenge-seeking cross today.They've always loved serving their revenge hot. But what they never expected is that Lucian will easily figure out their untold plans. A plan they had not even discussed amongst themselves but harbored only in their respective hearts. They
'My sister,' as those simple yet powerful words leave Lucian's lips and infiltrate the little girl's eardrums, an overwhelming sensation course through her veins, and her eyes well up with tears. She doesn't know why, but hearing Lucian refer to her as his sister makes her so aroused and emotional.Maybe because she never had a big brother, let alone one who would stand up for her so selflessly. What aggravates her emotions even more is the fact that Lucian knows nothing about her. Like, he has never met her before yet he is so willing to go to the ends of the world for her. The knowledge that she now has a stranger as a big brother and a powerful one at that is quite weird yet so overwhelming and soothing."Thank you, thank you so much," she can't help but express her heartfelt gratitude. "I'm really grateful!" Her eyes sparkle and she pouts, looking much like a pouting kitten.Lucian is instantly overwhelmed with the strong urge to laugh as the little girl is so amusing right now w
Callum's brows furrow and his face contort in displeasure. At this moment, he seemingly appears to be both perplexed and displeased. According to what the little girl said, she accepted his apologies. He is sure he heard that right, so why should he apologize to her again, or could it be that the girl was merely being sarcastic?But it doesn't seem that way. In that case, that can only mean she meant it and that Lucian is the one who is twisting her words for whatever reason. An acid taste creeps into his tongue and he clenches his fists.Since Lucian now calls the shots, he must be doing it on purpose to trample on his ego and shatter it if possible.His nose flares up in rage and he furiously turns, seemingly as if he wants to pick a fight with him, but as his gaze lands on Rome and Chester's murderous faces, a chill runs down his spine and he jerks twice as if he had been electrocuted."I-""You are twisting my words!" Before he can say anything, the little girl says helplessly an
The little girl is gaping at Callum as if she is seeing him for the first time and her heart is thumping so strongly, loudly, and quickly, a cloudburst of blood surging through her veins in tides upon tides. Who would have guessed that Callum, one of the burly figures who seemed so powerful and tyrannical to her would be reduced to this?She is so stunned at the sudden twist in events that her jaw is practically dropping to the floor, and she doesn't in the slightest know how to handle it. Regardless, she is just a pauper who has spent her entire life in the slums and is at the bottom of society. As a result, her self-esteem has taken a significant hit, plummeting to an all-time low. And this has had so many negative effects on her, one of which is the fact that she has, over the years, grown accustomed to being the one begging others, and with the exception of her boyfriend, who begs her occasionally when he offends her, no one else has ever begged her. One could imagine just how bi
"That's very easy," Lucian grins darkly. "Don't they like to fuck anything in a skirt? We can as well have them try something new!" "Something like what, My Lord?" Rome doesn't even let a second pass as he quickly asks, his eyes gleaming with so much curiosity in them."Something like fucking the same gender!" Lucian sneers and passes his tongue over his lower lip, exuding a sinister aura."Wow!" Rome gasps and an ecstatic smile breaks out on his face. "You sure deserve to be My Lord!" He proclaims with so much reverence, admiration, and pride in his voice and bows 90°. Yes, this is the formidable Python Lord he has pledged to serve for the rest of his life! He sure lives up to his name!"I have no doubt that this is a nice blood-rising plan, My Lord, but there are no new guys here, so even if that was possible, who would they lay with?" Chester twists his brows disconcertingly as he implores, seemingly not that enthusiastic yet."How can you be so slow-witted?" Lucian frowns. "Do the
"Such a bunch of cowards!" Rome hisses, glaring disdainfully at Cole and his brothers. "For experts with such murderous auras, I assumed you guys would be at least interesting and hard nuts to crack but turns out you three are so pathetic and a disgrace to your expertise! You don't deserve to be called experts at all as you are just a useless bunch of scared mice! "Gosh, you three might be the death of me if I don't take time because you infuriate me to no end!" Rome is so provoked that his babbling spirit suddenly takes over him and he loses rationality and begins babbling and babbling at the top of his lungs, his eyes bloodshot and his fists clenched so tightly that they now bright red and might start bleeding anytime soon if he doesn't control his rage and loosen up."Buddy," seeing this, Chester doesn't waste a second as he smacks him on the head, yelling, "Earth to me!"Rome shudders violently, almost dropping to the floor, but Chester is fast to catch him and steady him. "This
"But I've already been struck before," before Carl and Callum can bring themselves to say anything, Cole, who had assumed he wouldn't be included in the beating since he has already been struck by Rome and suffered a vital blow, says in a barely audible whisper, his voice full of so much reverence and his face flustered.It's not that he respects Lucian, or fears him, nah, not at all. To him, Lucian is still a lad who doesn't deserve his respect. So what if he might be an heir to a top-tier family? Does he have what it takes to command respect from a man of his skills?Hmph! He's just a fragile heir who only has his family to rely on, and without them, he is nothing. He has never taken all these heirs seriously because the majority of them are utterly useless and incompetent. They can't even fight themselves out of danger and would always depend on their guards.Their very existence irritates him and as such his reverence towards Lucian just now is only because of Rome and Chester at h
