" You still haven't told me the name of your company and the business you deal with" Lucas asked Alex when they met for lunch at a cafe close to his office. They had started having lunch together since the day Alex and Albert went to beg Lucas for help about Elena's issue.Alex asked Lucas to be his lunch companion at least twice in a week as he had no one else to look up to except Albert and him. He made mention that he had become lonely since the day Elena left his house, so he needed his company to reduce thinking." Why do you think I will reveal such crucial information to you when I haven't informed Albert yet. He will roast me alive if he knows I reveal my company's name to anyone before him. Moreover, you can't expect me to be open with you when you haven't trusted me yet. But I understand your fear, so I respect your decision about keeping privacy, " Alex answered.Lucas's continence changed when he heard Alex's words, he knew he was right, so he didn't argue further." Any
The moment he heard Elena scream, Alex bolted to the parking lot.He noticed her hyperventilating and sobbing profusely when he arrived at the car."Oh God, what did I do to deserve this man's level of wickedness?" For what reason has he decided to torture me like this? Elena did not look up as she continued to rant. Even though she knew someone was standing next to her, she was afraid to raise her head. It was only when she heard Alex's voice that she looked up."What made you scream in that way? What happened again? Alex asked as he looked around to search for anything that could have triggered her fear, but he didn't see anything." I just saw your father now sitting down in your car. He came here to threaten me not to run faster than my shadow. He said I will never find a way out of this mess. Please help me beg him to forgive me if I have ever wronged him" Elena explained.Alex was bewildered, " who in his right frame of mind will come out and disappear just to torment someone pu
“ Hey babe, I hope I didn't keep you waiting for long” Lucas asked Lilly as he entered his apartment.“ Well, I came here about an hour ago. Where have you been?” Lilly responded.“ I was with Alex and Albert to discuss how to heal Elena. I don't want you to have any negative thoughts about my offer to help, I'm just doing this for humanity's sake. I saw the woman today and she looked mentally unstable, I hope we get to heal her on time” Lucas explained“ Amen to that, at least I will have you all to myself after that, because I can see the process taking a toll on you already. It's not easy to have a natural gift as a healer, but I am proud of you “ Lilly hugged him after the compliment.Lucas watched Lilly as she set the dining table, he counted himself lucky to have met a rare gem like her. She was indeed a blessing to his life. Despite knowing Elena was his ex-wife, she still trusted him to heal her.He moved close to her and hugged her from behind,” Thanks for your understanding,
“ Oh my God, see how beautiful you look in this wedding gown. I can't believe my sweetheart is getting married” Lilliana Rowland said as she cleaned the lone tears that dropped from her eyes.“Mom, stop getting emotional. You know Clara will start crying if you don't stop and this will waste our precious time. I can't afford to wait another hour for the makeup artist to redo her face makeup just because it is spoiled by tears.” Lilly cautioned her mother. She knew how much she treasured Clara, but she didn't want them to start the reggae of their stories.Clara was like an aunt to her and she could not trade her for anything. Lilliana picked her up from the street, she was homeless and she refused to stay in an orphanage because she valued her freedom.She had worked at a club bar as a server and a waiter at a cafe. Lilliana met her at one of the cafes where she worked as a cleaner. She mistakenly hit one of the customers with a mop and the aggressive customer didn't wait to give her
Brimming with excitement, Lucas moved closer to Lilly and drew her for another deep kiss. He was imagining her look in a wedding gown and when he would finally call her his. Everyone present applauded him and they wowed at their public display of affection. Some minutes later, the clapping and laughter died down but there was a distinct and deep clap that echoed through the hall.A young handsome man dressed in a black tuxedo matched into the hall majestically. He didn't care about the plenty pairs of eyes that gazed at him, he kept on clapping until he got to where Lucas stood with his fiancee.Although everyone was surprised at the sudden downpour, they had turned their attention to the strange man that nonchalantly walked into the wedding hall.“ Who is he? I cannot put a name to that face, because he doesn't look familiar “ Justin whispered to his wife.“ I think he is related to Lucas, he is focused on him and my daughter. He doesn't look dangerous, so there is no cause for alar
“Yeah, the task at hand determines the special monitoring. A day-old dragon egg is not a child's play. It also takes a whole day before we can reach the cave, so we won't be sleeping in this temple most of the night.” Asher explainedLucas listened with keen interest, he eyed Albert to warn him against interrupting the twins.“ One more interruption from you, I will teach you the lesson you will never forget in your life. From now on, you are allowed to speak only when you are asked any question.” He pointed a warning finger at Albert.“ I apologize on his behalf, it won't happen again. Albert please, stop complicating matters with your interruption, can you just listen without any complaint?” Alex said tiredly.After the dialogue, they all went to bed. During the midnight, Lucas woke up with a startle, but he didn't disturb other people. He tiptoed outside the room and he went to sit under the tree that was opposite the temple.“ You are a man of light, what are you doing alone in t
“ I want all of you to stand behind me, this creature won't spare anybody if care is not taken” Lucas instructedThe twins and the two brothers immediately rushed to queue behind Lucas. Albert closed his eyes and he held Alex's cloth for support. “ Calm down, buddy. Lucas is here to protect us, just have trust in him” Alex tried to calm his brother who was jiltering behind him.Lucas stretched his two hands to his sides, then he started chanting some incantations while closing his eyes. After some minutes, he opened his eyes abruptly when he felt the presence of the creature before him.The creature was faintly visible to only Lucas. It was a beautiful woman with a fierce look on her face. Her head down to her waist was human while the rest of her body took the shape of a fish. Water started coming out of Lucas's hand to show the woman he was also a descendant of water.“ Beautiful goddess, why are you blocking my ways? I'm also a child of the water source, why are you directing your
“ Thanks so much for hosting us, especially the glorious entertainment you gave us, we really appreciate everything. We will take our leave now?” Lucas said to Selena.They woke up early and they assembled in front of the goddess’ mansion to bid her farewell.“ I'm equally honored to host the great warlock of our time. May you never encounter any difficulties as you proceed with your journey. Your Highness, please don't forget the warnings. I will be highly honored to see Lilly when it's time. Just tell any goddess you visit to summon me, I will appear to grace the occasion instantly” Selena said and she bowed.A maiden led them to the entrance of the mansion, she stopped at a spot where clouds were rolling. She clapped thrice and a narrow passage appeared between the clouds, then she turned to Lucas and his men.“ This is where I will leave, your Highness. Enter this passage, then you will be taken to your destination.” The maiden said, then she went back to the mansion.“ Here we go
