Lucas rushed to Justin's side, he raised his head and sat behind his back. He rubbed his chest with his hand I'm order to relieve him of his cough. Although Justin's shirt was filled with blood, Lucas didn't mind. He rubbed the soaked shirt until Justin stopped coughing.Justin's cough stopped but his breathing was uneven. He found it difficult to form a whole sentence, so he just whispered in Lucas's ear, “ Please take me home urgently and make sure Albert and Joy followed us back to the mansion. Call your wife attention back to us please, she is disoriented about the new revelation”He managed to order Lucas after some minutes of break-in each word. Lucas wanted to question him about the new revelation, but he thought against it. His main focus was to take Justin home safely.“ Hey baby, come and help me carry dad on my back.” Lucas said to Lilly who was still lost in thought about the news of her unknown pregnancy.Her mind was somewhere else, so she was confused if she should hug
As they drove through the busy road in the dark, many thoughts ran through Lucas's mind, “ What will my fate be when I get to the NSM office? Will I be punished? Will my identity be revealed? What excuse should I give for unsheathing the sword?”He wasn't worried about the condition at home on how to handle Albert's issue and the announcement of Justin's death to the public, because he trusted Alex to deal with that.He remembered when he visited the museum with Alex two days ago. Their father knew little about magic and he hadn't explained some of their family history to Alex, so he took it upon himself to enlighten him. They bought tickets and Lucas started explaining the existence and benefits of some artifacts to him. Although Alex was older, apart from the western knowledge, all he knew was business and Mafia dealings.They were about to round up their tour in the Museum when Lucas got to the door where James’ picture was engraved with the ancestral sword. He smiled when he went
Everybody rose at once, including the president. The president moved forward to shake hands with him, but Lucas remained puzzled. He was perplexed with the warm welcome, but he honorably walked round the conference room to shake each delegate's present. The president with his cabinet had smiles on their faces and they didn't hide how happy they were to meet him.A middle-aged man had his jaw dropped since the time Lucas entered and the shock didn't wipe off until Lucas got to his side.“ Good evening sir, you looked surprised to see me. I hope there is no problem” Lucas asked as he shook hands with the man.“ Yeah, I'm completely overwhelmed and I have a thousand reasons to be. This resemblance is just too much that I can't even fathom how we didn't realize it till this moment. You are highly welcome, son of grace” He said, then he faced the other cabinet who had gone back to their seats.“ If you observe very closely, this is James Armstrong in flesh and blood. Why haven't we noticed
Lucas was anxiously standing at the bus station waiting for the next bus to convey him to his house. If he had not taken laxative drugs for cold the previous night, he wouldn't have overslept this morning. The bus arrived some minutes later, but as he was about to step onto the bus, he dipped his hand into his pocket to check his ID card and he found it empty." Shit, I have forgotten I changed the pants I wore yesterday", he lamented. The distance from the bus station to his house was not far so he rushed down home to pick up his ID.A stone's throw from his house, he spotted a lady's face being kissed by a man. Lucas rubbed his hand over his face, and he couldn't believe what he just saw." It's not possible, I might be hallucinating", Lucas thought. As he moved nearer, he could vividly see his wife smiling through the kiss."Elena!" He shouted. Elena looked shocked, she hurriedly detached herself from the man kissing her and turned around to the person calling her. With a shaking v
CHAPTER TWOLucas frowned and was confused. He thought his hearing was playing jokes on him until he heard the screaming again." Help! Somebody help me!!!" Now he was sure someone was indeed in danger. He started tracing the sound of the voice with his torchlight because everywhere was dark. As he got close to the main road, he saw some gangsters chasing a beautiful lady. Beautiful was an understatement; she was a goddess. The girl was tall and fair with long wavy oily hair. She had the perfect body shape. She was more beautiful than the bitch he called his wife. Lucas blinked and shook his head, " I shouldn't be thinking of this right now, I need to save this damsel in distress". He moved his right leg, but he paused," No, I don't want to get into trouble the second time. That was how I saved George years ago and as a result, I met that bitch and her wicked mother. I should be careful, once bitten twice shy they say right?".But he got confused and as he was about to turn his ba
A series of events ran through Lucas's head and a new scene was displayed. The scene showed two huge fit guys fighting. It looked like they were training in martial arts though, because their moves were not to cause harm to anyone. They wore large dark regalia and they were both sweating profusely. Lucas was seen at one corner watching the guys but he was confused." Watch carefully and learn, for the time has come for you to know your roots," A middle-aged woman said, approaching Lucas. The woman looked beautiful and she wore a beautiful smile on her face. Lucas checked her very well, but she didn't look like someone he had met in his entire life. " Watch and learn? My root? I'm confused ma'am. And if I may ask, who are you?", Lucas asked the woman." Yes, Lucas. You are the heir to our great kingdom and you are chosen by the gods to take revenge on our lost one and to bring back our kind from hiding. You are gifted and you are to lead the kingdom." The woman said as she dragged Luc
Lucas stared at Alex for sometime, then he frowned. Although he was betrayed, he didn't show his emotions. If it were to be before when he had nobody, when he thought he was alone in this world, his life would have been shattered,but after the previous night occurrence, he was rest assured he wasn't hopeless. He even felt stronger after learning of his hidden gifts and knowing he had a kingdom somewhere, his mind was at rest. He knew Marie would come again to teach him what he needed to know. With patience, everything will fall back into place. He would be a great man.He remembered one of Claire's lessons when he was at the orphanage, there were times they would sleep hungry because there were not enough resources to feed them.Some money sent by the government to the orphanage was spent by some greedy officials, and foods set aside for them were being shared also.Claire taught them to always be strong, no matter the condition they found themselves in. She taught them how to withs
" I'm happy I finally found you. I thought I would never see you again" the girl uttered joyously after she had already calmed down.It turned out that the girl Lucas saved the previous night, Lilly found him. She sent her men on an emergency search mission to find the man that saved her. She was from a wealthy family, so she had all the resources needed to search for a missing person.Her men refused to rest. They brushed the entire city for Lucas' whereabouts. They used all the technology available, and they resulted to involved all the middlemen to know Lucas's identity. So when Lucas was found at the entrance of the court, it was a mission accomplished for them.Lucas was surprised to see the girl looking for him. He was bewildered. His thought was that the girl had fled and he would never see her again, but seeing her brought back the memory of last night. How he suffered for a total stranger and how was nearly beaten to death by the hoodlums chasing the girl.What could be the
