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.

Luts father announced, "he is going to take you round my establishment once you are back to health."

This was the first time that he was hearing about such a large amount of money and it was making his heart race really fast.If his father would be able to lend him such a large amount of money, that would only mean that he had quite a lot more money."How rich are you father?" 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 legacy of the supreme ruler Tough call
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

"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

“These men you see here, they're looking for more of your kind. Good, loyal, strong and confident. And above all, young. They want your kind. They know that with you, there is reward, and that the risk of being unfortunate and losing money is less.”Lut nodded, listening attentively. He had never heard his father speak so strongly before. He meant every word he said.“I just want to remind you that no matter the offers you receive, you want to remember that you still work for me. I am not entrapping you, but I want you to use your eyes and use your head. Work smart, don't work hard.”Two men came forward,and the conversation was suddenly cut short. And even though it was short, Lutenant remembered every bit of it.His father was a very busy man, and he needed every piece of advice and information he could get patterning to the business world.“Franklin Valley, this is my son, Lutenant James. He is the one in charge of the Deja vu project, and he is going to be in charge of it until it
Courage in the crucible
The Déjà vu parking lot was filled to the brim. It was kind of a food tasting party organized by Lutenant,but the idea had been his father's.It was a beautiful way to announce to the entire city that the place was officially open, the new owners had come to stay, and that the best chicken and fries combo had just gone through an upgrade.The building, just like any new project, had a tape around it that was going to be cut to signify the new ownership, and the staff had already prepared in earnest, making sure that everything was available before hand, and that the place was clean, shiny and soft music was playing in the background.Lut stared at Aurora, who looked slightly overwhelmed and out of place. He understood how she felt.A single mistake and all their hard work would go down the drain. He didn't want that. And he had made sure that it wouldn't happen by staying up all night, watching the place, ensuring that Gus and his workers did everything necessary to make sure that eve
Scheming and plotting
“Well, good work in general. I love your idea and your initiative. But here's the thing, don't get too carried away. This is a project that is meant to test you. It isn't your place, at least, not yet.” Lut nodded, fighting the urge to roll his eyes. What a man. He never seemed to lack criticism. “Yes sir. I'll take note of that.” When he entered his car and drove off, Lutenant nearly shook his fist at his departing car. At the same moment, he saw Aurora's old model Benz enter the premises, she parked and got out of the car as quickly as possible, a briefcase in her hand. Black hair, black suit and a wristwatch that seemed to compliment her dressing as the icing on the cake, she looked splendid. She was the perfect representative. “Good morning sir. This is me hoping that I'm not too late. You're not supposed to be here until eight, but this is just thirty minutes past seven.” Lutenant smiled
Burnt bridges
“You can have your house to yourself, Aurora. At least you've let me know that you're not the kind of friend I always thought you were.” That was Aurora's breaking point. For a while now, she had struggled to put up with her best friend's lifestyle. To hear her make it all about herself was painful. How could she do that? Aurora stood up from where she had been sitting, unable to take it in anymore. “You've got to be kidding me, Natalie. You come into my home, make me uncomfortable, and I don't have the right to complain? That's one of the most sick things I've ever heard, and I can't even believe it's coming from you. Please leave if you're going to.” Natalie, who had expected that, began to pack her bags. At that moment, she didn't care anymore. She didn't care if she was losing her best friend, all Aurora wanted was for her house to b
War of words
He turned from the window, allowing his thoughts to be overshadowed by the beautiful body underneath the robe that his fiancé was wearing. He was going to get to Lutenant later. * “How far have you gone with the project, Lut?” It was his father. They were having dinner with director Edward in attendance, and he had come with his first and only child, Edward junior, who was a carbon copy of him. The same glassy eyes, an intense stare and the nose that seemed European. “Well, so far, everything is going well. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong. I can't wait to open up the new doors of that fast food. With the company's contacts, we are going to get more customers.” He watched his father nod. “I have a different vision for déjà vu, father. A place where the middle class and the elites can mingle. A place where two classes can afford to eat without feeling the pressure. It's not going to be easy, but one thing I'
Obstacles surface
Aurora looked at the document, her hands trembling slightly. She couldn't believe it. It was the document legalising the renovation of Déjà vu, and also commending her for the good work that she had done so far. She stared at it, not knowing what to do with it, then smiled at him. “That is our grand prize, Aurora. And it's just the beginning. By the time we're done with the Déjà vu project,customers will be coming in dozens. I honestly can't wait.” Aurora nodded, touched by his words. When he had told her to follow him, she had been afraid that she had done something wrong. But now, she was happier than ever. To her, the opportunities were endless. If she succeeded in impressing the CEO and Lutenant as well, there were going to be a lot of referrals and a lot of jobs coming her way. She had been promised that by her boss himself. “The most important thing, sir, is keeping the people working with us happy. We've done that. We can only
Luts dilemma
“And you're talking about jewels? You've got to be kidding me.”At that moment, Ariel stopped touching it, her mind reeling. Before then, she was thinking of calling Lut and thanking him, but Richard's words had sown that seed of doubt that had been lingering in her mind for a while now.“How did you receive it?”“Seraphina said a delivery man brought it to the house while we were with the horses.”Richard's laughter was condescending.“And you believe that? You actually believe that Lut, who can't even get himself good clothes can buy jewelleries from where…Tommy's… for you?”At that moment,the necklace on Ariel's neck felt like heavy lead.She wanted to get it off by all means.“Well, if Lut didn't send it, then who did?”And it was when she saw Richard's knowing smile that she shrieked in happiness.“Richard? Don't tell me you bought this.”Richard smiled, his eyes lightning up immediately.“And don't tell me that you fell for my little prank. How in heaven's name did you even beli
The surprise package
As soon as she came down from Midnight's back, Ariel found her way back to the main house.While Richard stayed back to ride a little before putting the horses back into the stable, she decided to go for a drink and some snacks.As she made her way back to the house, she smiled, thinking about the few minutes she had just spent with her just engaged lover. She could see why he wanted them to marry so quickly. .He loved her, and they couldn't do without each other.As she got closer to the house, she squealed in surprise and pure happiness when she saw that the power supply had been turned back on.Seraphina, who was standing next to the door, held out a towel, ready to help her mistress out with the beads of perspiration that had gathered on her brow and her forehead.“Thank you, Seraphina.”Seraphina bowed, her rosy cheeks lighting up.“Did the electricity company come?”“Yes madam, they did. They left the bill on the kitchen table.”Accepting the towel, she mopped her face gingerly
Turbulent times
Armed with the band that clipped her hair in place, the riding boots, and then the trousers, Ariel could tell that she looked funny.But she liked it because Richard liked it as well.“Which horse are we riding today, my love? You get to choose.”Ariel smiled. She knew some of the horses by names, and had forgotten some. As a child, she was fascinated by horses, and had a pony for her Thirteenth birthday. Now, she was fascinated by fast cars and beautiful dresses, how fast she had changed over the years.She glanced at one of the older horses, and through it's gentle nature and the black star on her forehead, she recognized Midnight, one of the horses she had always loved as a child.“Let's use Midnight. I don't know if she can remember me now, but we used to love each other when I was a kid.”Nodding, Richard went to work. Patting the horse, he gently guided it out, and Ariel was slightly impressed. Back in the university, he had a thing for horses, and had always visited the barns i
