2024-12-10 18:51:56"What are you talking about?" Liuet's eyes farrowed, the spike running faster through his vines.
Ariel drew a step closer towards him and stared at him in the eyes. "You think that I don't know?"
"I was just a stepping stone for you to become rich by selling your kidney. The doctor told me everything about it."
Lut was engrossed in his confusion trying to make sense of what she was saying while the pain increased even more.
How Richard here provided the money to buy over your kidney and you readily agreed to that." She frowned.
Luiet could not believe his hearings. After all the pain that he had to go through, his efforts were seen as a waste.
"Lair, how dare you come up with such a lie." Luiet shot up at Richard but the pain soon pulled him back.
He was finding it difficult that someone would come up with such a lie to separate him from his girlfriend.
And to think that he looked so Innocent pissed him more. Wishing that he could tear off that face of his.
"Stop being so dramatic, already stink and have some sort of delicacy for once in your life." Ariel glared.
"With or without this, I would have broken up with you already." She replied and walked over to Richard, giving him a passionate kiss on the lips.
There was pain in his eyes that the one that he loved most was not going to believe her rather than another person
"Are you even going to believe a stranger over me? After all the years that we have known each other?" He blotted out.
"Strangers?" Richard scoffed.
"I knew her right from day one. Three years ago, your delusion lost her virginity to me, so you see, we are only coming out to make our relationship open." Richard replied with a smirk.
"If we were so blinded that you didn't even realize who the true stranger was. You!" He burst out into laughter.
Every part of Lut's being was torn into shreds. Everything that he had believed was all lies. He was still lost in his stare, unable to speak.
For a while, Luiet was dumbstruck, unable to speak. He turned over to Ariel, the grief too heavy for him to bear.
'No... It could not be true... That the world that he had always believed and held onto was a lie.'
"Tell me it's not true Ariel.." He yelled not caring about the pain that he felt anymore but still trying to hold it back as much as he could.
Ariel's words were cold and she chuckled. "It was funny how you kept fooling yourself around me, thinking that we had a future together."
"The truth has always been before you but you were just way too blinded. The truth is, we never had a relationship. With your basket shoes and three-quarter shorts that never turn old. Jeez!" She emphasized and everyone there burst out into laughter at his detriment.
Her words were like a cold stab through his chest. His grief had now grown to the extent that he could no longer express it.
"Did you ever love me?"
"I'm carrying someone's child in me. I don't have time to spare for scumbags." She replied.
Luiet's pains increased as he stared at Richard with a smirk on his face. All these while, everyone had taken him for a coward.
He drew off from the spot and punched Richard in the face as he slammed back to the floor gritting his teeth.
A sorrowful smile twinkled on his lips, "I am sure that you know what's that for." He chuckled.
Everyone was stunned.
"Has he gone mad?"
"Look, Richard is even bleeding."
"Wow! This is one hell of a problem! We have to get out of this place as soon as possible."
"Has he gone mad? I am sure that he has a death wish that is certainly going to be fulfilled today."
OP
An air of commotion broke up through the crowd and some were already making their way out of the scene, knowing what exactly was going to happen next.
Richard blew up with fury, his face glowing hot red as he felt his mouth with his hands and could feel the warm sensation of his blood.
"You fool. I am going to make sure that you pay for this and I will send you to hell." He growled at Lut who only chuckled, not frightened even for a single moment.
He scoffed.
"Do your worst." He growled back angrily stamping on Richard's Nerves multiple times
'What exactly was the essence of living now?
"Whether by Richard or not, I am going to die anyway."
Richard brought out his cell phone and soon, a group of three armed gangs stormed the place, and the students pulled backward.
Richard's father was the Invincible king of the underworld and no one would dare to get on his nerves.
They all shook their heads out of pity. Everyone knew that he was as good as dead already...
"That's the punk that dared to touch me." Richard pointed out the Luiet...
The brutal men came to him with Richard in front as he smirked at Luiet for the very first time.
"Good luck on your journey to hell, and say hello to the devil for me." He added.
The brutes were about to strengthen him with a baton when a hand with a familiar aura crawled around him.
Emotions washed up through Liuet's face.
Arizona had run to search for his brother after she read the letter hidden in his backpack. She was broken, searching for her brother everywhere.
He has given up his life for another only for her to find this video trending in the hospital.
"How could you?" Arizona yelled at Ariel who paid deaf ears to her cries, and her heart stood as cold as a rock.
"After he gave up his life to save yours, this is really what you decide to pay him with." She yelled.
Ariel's brow twitched.
"Just another brainhole loser. I wonder how such people still exist." She spat on the floor, throwing away all the relationships that they had formed with each other through the years.
Arizona could not believe that it was Ariel who just shot those words out of her mouth.
If she hadn't been present and someone had told her, she would have not hesitated to give the person a firm slap across the face.
"Get off the way already a loser," Richard growled at her while Luiet was sweating with pain.
"I am not going to allow you to touch my brother. If you want to do that, then you have to get past me first." She replied.
"Awww, how cute." Richard sounded romantic and everyone burst out into laughter.
"Guess someone has chosen to see the devil first." He muttered in a really cute manner...
"I don't need to see the devil when I have seen you already." She growled at him with so much confidence in her voice.
The words angered Richard. He grabbed her away from Luiet slapping her severally on the face while she bled.
With the last stroke of strength that he had in him, Lieut yelled. "Noo..." As her sister collapsed to the floor a strand of tear escaped from his eyes.
He shot off from the floor and jerked towards Richard. Then a baton landed on a sensitive part of his head, sending him off miles away.
Lieut's eyes paired right with that of his sister's. He could feel Grim Reaper casting his shadows over him as he locked eyes with Arizona.
"If only second chances existed..."
"But was it going to make any difference?" He blinked twice and passed out.

He was trying his best to act normal before his father when suddenly his cell phone made a buzzing sound.He got off the phone and noticed that it was a text before turning around once again towards Lut with so much love and action in his somewhat falling tone this time and he went ahead to say."That would be left for you to find out." He eventually said.There was a strange expression that was littered on his face and Lut could immediately tell that something was wrong.Before he could even get the chance to ask the questions that were lingering in his mind, his father already went ahead to say with smiles on his face."I wish that I could spend more time with you Lut but I am sorry that I would have to leave

Mr. Edward went into the details of it.The consortium was known to be the fastest growing that could be found anywhere in the world and could also be said to be the best that had ever been seen.His eyes where still stuck on the plane that was right before him, his heart beating hard against his chest ad thought it was going to burst through and he didn't even realize when he voiced out this words."You mean that my father is the owner of the trillion dollar consortium?"

The two ladies stared at each other for quite a while, their brows farrowing the deeper that they stared."I know that this isn't my section, Aurora but I had to act. Did you expect me to allow a thug go around the place when you were being just too lazy to act?" She inquired with a deeper stare.Lut could already see that Aurora's hands were clenched into a clean ball, trying as hard as she could to control the anger that was gradually rising up in her.."I was busy with the report. Do you realize how professional your work is? What if he is a real customer? Do you know how furious the director would be?You know that no one came in here without their access card. There are motion sensors all around and you know it. If he has anything on him, he is going to be caught immediately." She replied.Lut could tell that even though she was trying her best to act as calm as she could, the anger was still rising up in the inside of her, making her want to blow up.But the other lady called Ti
The legacy of the supreme ruler Caught in a self trap
"Have you gone mad?" Director Edward asked as Tina felt her face begin to sting from the resounding slap.The slap caught everyone by surprise as they all stared in shock at the scene.Tina's face burnt, not just from the impact but from the humiliation that followed as she staggered back a step, clutching her cheek. Every eye in the room was fixed on her, wide with disbelief."Have you lost your mind?" Director Edward bellowed, his voice echoing through the space. "You accuse someone without proof? You humiliate a guest and involve security like this?""S-Sir, I was only trying to—" Tina stammered, trying to defend herself while looking at the ever-calm Lut."Enough!" Director Edward cut her off, his sharp glare enough to make her swallow her words. He turned to the guards, "And you! Without verifying anything, you handcuff someone? Is this how we treat people in this establishment? You’ve embarrassed the company and insulted someone under my protection!"The guards glanced at each o
The legacy of the supreme ruler The mysterious lut
"If you don't mind, I can show the guest around while you attend to the emergency." Aurora offered politely.Edward glanced at Aurora, his brow furrowing in thought. As much as he would like to guide Lieutenant around the establishment himself, the emergency order they received was more urgent."You don't have to worry about me," Lut reassured after noticing Edwards's hesitation. "I'm sure after the previous scene the same won't happen again."Fine." He muttered, "Sir Lut, this is Aurora. She’ll take care of you until I return." He had known Aurora for a while and was one of his most competent staff members, known for her professionalism and level-headedness. Leaving Lut to her would definitely be safer than to any other."The private room 002 has been prepared; just take him there and ensure he is properly attended to." He instructed as he and Frank turned away.Aurora and the rest of the people around went stiff in shock at the number of the private boat given.It should be known th

A breath away
“Thank you everyone for coming once again. You've made something as common as a housewarming party a memorable one for me. I won't forget this, ever.”Aurora watched the entire mini speech with a special kind of warmth in her heart. She had never seen Natalie so happy.“One, two, three!”The crowd counted with the couple as the knife came down. There was scattered clapping, and then it was then readjusted into a beautiful round of applause.Grabbing a flute from an attendant who was walking by, Carl raised the flute.“Everyone, grab a glass please.”“Aurora? Can you help us make a toast?”Aurora had not seen that coming. Naturally shy, she raised an eyebrow and felt her skin burn under the gaze of the entirety of everyone who was in the room. However, she made her way to the front of the crowd, then raised her flute.“To a life of happiness, endless celebrations and every good thing in the world. To Natalie and Carl!”“To Natalie and Carl!”There were clinks as flute brushed flute. Sh
House warming bliss
The roar was deafening. Two pops followed, and in a minute, she was drenched with alcohol. Aurora smiled in satisfaction, enjoying the shock and surprise on her best friend's face.Carl slipped out of the crowd in a moment, holding a card that said boldly, “Welcome to our home, Natalie. I will always love you.”Natalie burst into tears on seeing the card, and immediately fell into his arms.The crowd burst into a series of cooing, and Aurora stole a flute of champagne from an attendant’s tray, chugging it down and satisfying her thirst.“When…when did you do all of this, Carl? How did you plan this?” She looked at the crowd and the decorations, her hand scratching the back of her neck in confusion.“I wouldn't have done it without the help of your best friend here, Aurora. She helped me. We did it together. You have a wonderful friend, babe. She's a keeper.”“You knew?” Natalie asked her, as she struggled to wipe the tears from her eyes.“Of course I did. Can you imagine Carl doing al
The ultimate welcome
“Whatever. I'm dirty and sweaty already. How about I just sit in the dining room and you serve me, alright? I'll take my bath later.” Natalie grinned, leaving her in the sitting room. “You know, sometimes I wonder what you would've done without me. Just look at you, tired as hell, coming home to a beautiful meal you would've paid for at a restaurant. You owe me big time.” Aurora groaned audibly. “Can you just cut the boasting part and forward to the part where I eat and say thanks? You can boast after that, okay?” Natalie's laughter was loud. Aurora dropped her hand bag in the sitting room, snatching her phone. In the dining room, she texted Carl immediately, urging him to call Natalie in a few minutes. She nearly let the phone fall from her hands when she saw her best friend enter with a tray of the food. It was one of her favourites. Lamb chops, biscuits and an apple pie next to it. There was a salad w
The squad
Boss and personal assistant left the office building, walking stride by stride. Aurora, her phone in her hand, was trying to reach Carl. He was the one who had done the arrangements, and she would've helped out if she didn't have to go down to the Fredrickson's company and help Lutenant get the contract he was gushing over so much. She waited next to her old model Benz, waiting for Carl to pick up. When he didn't answer after the first ring, she turned to Lut, who was waiting for her and shrugged. “He hasn't picked?” “Yes. Makes me wonder what is wrong with him. Who makes plans and doesn't keep to his own part of the deal? If he knows how tired I am, he'll pick up.” Lut smiled. “Call him again.” His voice was calm, the exact opposite of what hers was. Nodding, she did just as he had requested. And to her shock, Carl picked up on the first ring. “Aurora!” He called her name as if he was out of breath.
Sealing the deal
The executive meeting hadn't gone well, or maybe someone had brought an offer larger than the amount he had proposed. He didn't know which one it was yet. “The executive meeting didn't end too well. The highest bidder plays a huge role, Lut. I'm afraid we chose someone else.” Lutenant smiled. He looked out of the window, forgetting what he had planned to say for an instant if things didn't go his way. “Lut? Are you still there?” “Yes sir. It's alright, Mr Fredrickson. I understand you perfectly. There are other companies in the industry. We'll have to look into it.” He glanced at his father, who raised an eyebrow, still smiling despite the fact that he had heard his son's answer and knew that the deal was lost. “Come on, Lut, I'm kidding! Did you even believe that I'll sell to someone else? You've been the highest bidder so far. The rest have all come in under hundred. And even if you weren't, I would've still sold to you.
Family friction
When Richard ended the call, his hands were trembling slightly and he felt lightheaded. When had Mr Johnson entered the room? Had he been listening to the entirety of his conversation with Hal? He wanted the earth to open up and swallow him. “Having problems at work?” He nodded, not knowing what else to say. “Yes, something like that.” Mr Johnson stood up, going to the window. He looked out of it, smiling at nothing in particular. When he turned to look at Richard, Richard noticed how furrowed his eyebrows were, and how he didn't even smile one bit, even though he had been smiling earlier. The smile had seemed to disappear into thin air. Something was wrong. “What kind of problems are you having at work, son? Are you aware that you're marrying my daughter, the only child I've ever had? Do you know that, Richard?” Richard swallowed hard. He wasn't scared of Mr Johnson, no, that was far from it.
Guilt by association
“Hundred million, Mr Fredrickson. I can't go higher.” Mr Fredrickson looked at members of his executive team. They all exchanged knowing glances which Lut knew he didn't understand. But he kept calm, watching the entire proceedings with his hand holding his flute. “Why don't we both sleep over it, Lut? My team and I will take your offer into consideration. Before anything, I want you to know that I've thought about leaving this company in good hands. And there are no other guaranteed good hands in this city apart from yours.” Lutenant nodded with a smile. “I understand you perfectly, Mr Fredrickson. I do.” “Now, there are still offers coming in, and we want to sell to the highest bidder, I'm afraid. At the same time, I want my legacy to live on even if this place doesn't belong to me anymore. You're the only one who can assure that.” “Oh come on, Mr Fredrickson, you flatter us way too much.” Mr Frederickson raised
The takeover bid
“I hope you enjoyed your meal, Lutenant.” Lut nodded. At that point, he couldn't tell which kitchen was better. The consortium kitchen made good meals, but he had to admit that he had tasted one of the best pasta drenched in sauce he had ever eaten in his entire life. It was insanely good. “I did, Mr Fredrickson. I'll need a few days to decide if your kitchen is better than ours, though. But I have to admit, that pasta was amazing.” They were looking at the buildings, and Frederickson was pointing out the important parts that they needed to know. Aurora, walking next to him, held a notebook and a camera in her hand. She was taking pictures and writing at the same time. “How about you, Aurora? How was the food?” “I'm planning to ask the cooks to give me their recipe after this. That's to show you how good it was.” “Oh, good to hear. Lut, you've got a good one on your hands. Any woman who loves cooking is
Love
Truly, Mr Fredrickson and his team were waiting for them in the parking lot. Aurora had done a lot of research, and because of that, she knew how he looked. But up close, he looked shorter, even, and his smile was warm. His eyes twinkled in happiness, as if he was overjoyed that his company was being sold. “Mr Lutenant! I've been expecting you.” The two men shook hands, while Aurora watched. They were basically gauging each other through the handshake, but Aurora was comfortable with it. She knew her boss could handle it. “And who is this behind you?” “That is Aurora Spencer, my personal assistant and the woman in charge of most of my reformation success in most companies. She's very good, I tell you.” “Well, let's see how good she's going to do here. Welcome, Aurora. Lutenant, this is my team. The executives in charge of running this place. It hasn't been easy, but they've done a good job. You have to acknowledge them.”
