Lucius ended up going home after some minutes of reflecting on what he wanted to do when he came face to face with the rest of his family. His car pulled up to the front of his house and he got out while a valet came up to him and took the keys to his car before taking it to the garage where it was
“All right. Go on about your day and whatever you do don’t go near him and don’t let him know that you know. I have to do something right now but I’ll see you later.” Zara gave him a look of determination and left the closet, going to unlock the door and leave the room. Lucius walked out of the clo
Ever since the impromptu meeting that Lucius had attended with his family, the emotions in the mansion had shifted. While some people were rallying up against the police force and whoever they thought had put them up to framing Ben, the rest of them were confused at what had happened and right now,
Lucius flipped through the folder and still could see several pictures of Ben with people who had crossed him in the past. The shock was so much that Lucius had to very well wipe his eyes to make sure that he wasn’t day dreaming the evidence. He turned away from the folder, not with sadness but with
Lucius successfully got Zara on his side after he took his time to explain what was really happening. He had pulled her into his room, Layla too and re-explained everything to the both of them also while showing Zara the pictures that Layla had brought to further prove his point to her. At the end o
Lucius focused on the more obvious question while he gave her comfort.“How did they know about the evidence?” Zara muttered under her breath completely in a lack of words as to how the unknown person already knew about their plans. Lucius on the other hand ignored that part.“How are you sure that
Lucius left the mansion in a hurry with the new found knowledge that his uncle had been watching him. It irked him as he got into his car wondering how long Ben's spying had beem going on. Now that Layla's family had been taken by Ben he had no choice but to turn in yh evidence that they had just u
The chief and the detective were in a serious conversation but on seeing Lucius standing in their office, looking worse for wear, clearly he took precedence. “Mr. Steele, what brings you to my office today?” Eric asked.“A kidnapping.”The men sat up not perceiving that his presence was for a matte
••••• 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
