The next morning, Lucius was surprised when he was woken up early by Ben. He had been expecting to sleep in like he did the previous day.“It's the weekend, Ben, why are you waking me up so early?” Lucius asked as he yawned.Ben chuckled.“Apologies, but for your plan to work effectively, you must n
“You need to go to the mall and pick out some things for yourself so we can have them delivered here. To be a trillionaire, you have to look the part, right?” Ben said.Lucius had no idea what to pick, then he realized something.“If I’m leaving the estate, I can’t go with something flashy. I may be
.Lucius had to go to a shop to get a new shirt to replace his now soaked one.Thankfully, the shop he entered had little to no customers so no one knew he was there.He paid for a simple black top and changed in one of the changing rooms. He checked his watch and saw that it was time for him go to
Lucius breathed in and opened the door which revealed the two people he wanted to destroy most in the world. Well, not really because without what they did to him, he would have never been where he was now. He would have never met his father, uncle or his mother. So, in a way, he had to thank them.
A video began to play and soon the office was filled with the moans and the voices of the people Lucius despised the most. Valerie and Xander. Lucius frowned as he remembered what they did to him the night of the anniversary. How they mocked and humiliated him. How Valerie played him for a fool. The
Layla, one of Valerie's various assistants, stood at the door with a horrified look on her face and a tablet in her hands. Lucius moved away from Xander and walked over to her. He peeped at her tablet and smirked. "This is good entertainment. You should really come see this. Oh and you can keep the
Lucius walked out of the Wilde company building with a smile on his face as he heard the murmurs and speculations from the people watching the video he just released. The sound of Valerie and Xander was like winds in his sails. Knowing that the world would be privy to what happened that night put a
Once he was done he left the podium and his father took the microphone.People still raised their hands but James turned them all down."I'm sorry but that is all we can answer for today. Thank you all for coming out and expect great things from him."After the speech both Lucius and James left the r
••••• After Zara spoke up about what she went through in Estelle and Jack’s hands, it didn’t take much to sway the court on who was the real villain in this story. A ghost had come back and given them their verdict from beyond the grave and that was enough for the jury and the awed people in and o
The day everyone was waiting for had arrived. The court case between the Cabots and the Steele’s. The courtroom was packed with reporters, spectators, and lawyers. Everyone who was interested in this case either showed up at the court room, camped outside or even watched it closely on their televisi
“Like you said. Former members. Those men heard of my job opening and showed up. They wanted to redeem themselves. Turn a new leaf for the good of society and there you came in guns blazing and killing them.” Callum gave her a mocking face of understanding. “Oh, so when we rushed into the buildi
The car ride back to the precinct was one of quiet and self-fulfillment for some but for those who were stuck with Estelle Cabot in the back of their vehicle, the ride was akin to being thrown into the pit of darkness with a banshee as she would not stop screaming and whining all the way to where sh
“I did everything for you, and this is how you repay me? By recording me and doing God knows what with it.” Lucius opened his mouth, but nothing came out. “Did you go to the police? Did you show anyone these recordings?” Lucius froze. Speaking of the police, where the hell were they when he ne
Lucius couldn’t utter a word as his hands were raised to the sky and he was being pushed along with a gun to the back of his head. He frowned as Estelle’s shocked and confused fac came into view and the man with the haggard voice he caught on his phone glared at him. “Look what I found.” The man b
“It wouldn't concern me either if not for the fact that men with tattoos that I've clearly seen on the news as Black Serpent defectives are walking in with her at this moment.”Lucius shot up from the bed. The Black Serpents again. He thought he had gotten rid of them once and for all when he had Al
It had been a few days before Lucius had gotten consecutive calls on his phone that Callim brought back to him, from both Estelle and Gregory but each on different topics.Gregory's call had a lopsided effect on Lucius as he had sounded different over the phone, no doubt because of what he had found
"That's wonderful, Gregory. I'm happy for you," Lucius lied. "You two make a perfect couple." Gregory smiled and thanked him. He ordered a glass of wine and asked Lucius what he wanted. "I'll have water, thank you. I'm not here to drink, Gregory. I'm here to talk." Lucius spoke, his demeanor bec
