Lucas woke up looking weak and tired the following day. He had never felt this way since he acquired his powers. As he was stretching his body, he felt a sharp pain in his neck." Ouch! This place hurts like hell" he exclaimed. Then he massaged his neck until the pain became dull." Why do I feel somebody close to me needs my help? What kind of strange feeling is this? Dave! Where are you?" He murmured.He reluctantly got up from his bed to freshen up in his bathroom. He was brushing his teeth when his phone rang inside the room. He was unable to pick up the phone until the fourth ring, the caller squealed on the phone which almost blocked his eardrums." Lucas! Why was your phone switched off last night? and why are you just picking up my calls?" Lilly yelled over the phone.Lucas smiled and calmly responded, " Good morning to you too, Angel", He taught her the first thing to do before she indirectly lodged her complaint.He wasn't aware his phone was off until this morning, and he
" Good morning, sir, please I need your help," Lucas said as he barged into Bobby's office. He was sweating and breathing heavily.Bobby looked at him irritatingly as if he had grown two heads. He looked as if he wanted to smash his head, he was angry he interrupted his conversation with his beloved. He didn't utter any words, rather he signaled to him to check the corner of his office.Lucas opened his mouth agape when he saw the beautiful woman at the corner trying to dish out food for her man. Clara folded her arms, like someone waiting for Lucas to provide a genuine and reasonable excuse for his stupid action." I'm sorry for barging in on your morning date, let me go and come back", Lucas apologized he wanted to tiptoe back towards the door, but Bobby's voice stopped him." One more step, then I will whoop your ass like a small child. If you know what is good for you, you will turn back and give us an explanation" Bobby threatened.Clara humed in support of Bobby," I think I like
They were walking into a forest, and as they went deeper, Lucas covered their trails. It got to a stage where he had to cast a spell for total blockage. Birds were chirping and howling, they crossed several rivers and climbed different hills. When it got to a stage where they no longer walked on the bare ground and no one had said a word, Alex decided to break the silence." Why has everyone gone dumb? How many miles does it remain to get to our destination, because at this rate, I don't know if I can know the way back home", he directed his question to no one in particular. He had gotten tired of walking, yet no one made the journey adventurous for him.No one answered him, and when he wanted to continue speaking, Lucas faced him." This is not an excursion, so I will advise you to keep your mouth shut. We are here sacrificing our time and sweat for you, yet you are the one complaining. Aren't you an ingrate?" Lucas' warning got to him, and he kept mute instantly.As they got close t
Lucas was shocked for a while but his shocked look later turned to an angry one." What in God's name are you doing here, Lilly?" He asked Lilly with a hint of anger.To say Lilly was shocked was an understatement, she didn't expect Lucas to use such an angry tone on her. She expected him to feel guilty and remorse for canceling their date and going out with someone else in the middle of the night. She had been watching him since he came back with Joy and also when he was conversing with Albert, but she could not hear them because of the building's height.She chuckled, " Are you kidding me? When did it become a forbidden thing for me to visit your house?" She asked, getting angry as well.Lucas' angered look had still not dissipated," Didn't I send Mr Bobby to you that I won't be around? I even sent you a message, apologizing for canceling the date, what more do you want, Lilly?" He said" So? How did that stop me from visiting your house? Are you guilty of coming home at this wee ho
" Why did you look so shocked as if you had seen a ghost? I thought you would welcome me with a refreshing hug, you stand there glaring at me? Is that how to welcome an old friend?"Fredrick ranted while he smiled at Lilly.Lilly laughed, " I should give you a refreshing hug, that will only happen in your dream. Anyway, welcome back to this city, how have you been?" She asked sarcastically." I'm fine babe, I have missed you a lot, that's why I traced you here" Frederick answered.Frederick had been out of the country for a couple of months now, even before the Advent of the viral outbreaks. He was sent to hold one of their branches in a neighboring City by his father. His father was tired of his Playboy ways and how he had tarnished his family image, so he sent him away to calm down the paparazzi and the masses.He was supposed to have returned to Oslo before now, but when the viral outbreaks occurred, his parents had him stay back for safety. He still had the intention to win Lilly's
Frederick faced his driver to talk to him about his change of plan." I need to branch somewhere urgently, give me the car key, and I will see you at home," he said to his driver." Can't I take you there? Your father does not want you to go out alone anymore. He said he didn't want you to misbehave", the driver complained. He didn't want Frederick to go out alone, because every time he went out alone, he usually caused havoc that would taint his father's image." Will you shut up and give me the key, I need to follow these guys urgently" Frederick said angrily." Who is he? I must know where you are going before I can release this key to you, sir, I'm sorry" the driver was adamant. He didn't want to lose his job as a result of Frederick's reckless attitude.Frederick calmed down while looking at the driver, he knew using force on the man could cause him problems with his dad, so he needed to tame him." I will be back home before my father gets home please, I will help you pay for yo
Lilly's two hands were tied with a dangling rope upon her head, her two legs were also tied to the chair she was forced to sit on. She was looking weak and her eyes were sullen. Her hair was scattered and the clothes she put on were tattered and dirty. Instead of begging for mercy, she still had enough strength to fiercely argue with her captor. The place looked like an abandoned warehouse in an underground, more like a basement." Babygirl, why are you doing this to yourself? I have shown you nothing but love, yet you refused to accept me as your man. I know Lucas was more agile in look than me, but I'm equally handsome. I will take care of you, why can't you just proclaim your love for me, and free yourself from this torture" Frederick said using his hand to rearrange Lilly's scattered hair." I'm highly disappointed in you, Frederick. I don't know if you could commit this heinous crime of kidnapping me just to force me into accepting you. You want me to proclaim my love for you, th
" What nonsense are you talking about? You can be sued for defamation of character if you continue with this act. Firstly you mentioned Frederick which wasn't yet acceptable to me, now you mentioned Miss Fisher who had been in Rowland's household even before Lilly was born. And she had been a motherly figure to Lilly since she was born, so stop confusing me!" Lucas was frustrated." You won't get confused if you can calm your nerves and listen attentively without interrupting me. Can you do that please?" Albert requested. He knew it was a lot for the young man to bear, but he needed him to calm himself so that he could understand him better." Fredrick had been a son to a Rowland family friend since he was born, so it was easy for him to penetrate that household. Miss Fisher was used by him, so She was ignorant to the fact that she was the weapon used to capture her boss's daughter" Albert said." How did you know all this?" Lucas asked" When I overheard the discussion between my fat
