The old man looked through his window, like he always do, but just some minutes ago, Lucian's car was packed outside, and now it was no longer there or has his old age began to tell on him?. '' Damn it, this boy left again!'' he sneered his teeth.
Lucian's saw the iD caller on his phone, as he put the car to a stop in front of the mansion, blue city, another of Yul's house, he usually comes here whenever he needed space alone to think. The old man was calling, he threw the phone into his pocket, and focused on getting the seatbelt off him. The damn phone, rang about 15 times, but the stone hearted boy never took a glance at it. He despised the old man and his deeds. They was another call again, but this time it came along with a picture, and that was a picture of his wife, Anna.'' What? Damn this old man!'' he jumped back in the car, fastened the seat belt, bloody sweat were dripping on his face. '' Not again you old man! What do you want again! I signed the bloody documents already!'' he punched the steering wheel, and twisting the key to a start.Lucian barged into the mansion running from the upstairs untill he reaches the bedroom he had with Anna. '' Get your filthy hands off her!'' his hoarse voice echoed in the room. Hot tears were flowing off her eyes, she struggled with the white clothes in her mouth.'' Yero, take the clothes off her mouth'' the old master ordered his guard , with a grin he slowered his head solemnly, riding his wheel chair, moving towards Lucian's direction.'' Son, I see you value this girl, you came running to rescue her after declining 15 calls, how amazing'' he grinned, with a sigh. '' What do you want old man!'' he clenched his fist into a ball, he had enigmatic expression on his face, anger crawled to his soft face making it rough. The hefty men in black shades, and black suit grabbed Lucian's arms, as he was about throwing a punch across the old's man face. The fear of losing their jobs gave them the courage to be able to grab Lucian's arms, the sweats dotted in their forehead, could indicate how terrified they actually are, just for holding Lucian Freud , the true heir of Yul's group.'' Beat him up!'' the old man spat, striking a stick of cigarettes, and putting it in mouth as he puffed into the air. The men raised hands to beat him. '' No please stop he is wounded! Don't touch him'' she cried, dragging and struggling with the ropes, tied on her hands, they were to hard, and it was cutting her skin already, the more she struggled with the ropes, the more cuts she gets.Lucian allowed them beat him up, for the sake of Anna who had a gun pointed in her head. '' What do you want old man!'' he screamed on the floor, after the old man's ordered them to stop.'' Haha_ very good, now your brain has started working perfectly, by asking what it is I want'' he held the cigarettes in the middle fingers, puffing the smoke into the air, making Anna choke of it.'' I want you to attend the meetings from now on, and you have to do your best to make you get the position of the head, of yul's group. They are other share buyers, who are competing to take the place, failure to get the position, you will face my wrath!'' the moment he mentioned 'wrath' he shot a terrible glare at Anna, and back at Lucian, then he smiled.... that complexed smile, and Lucian knew what that smile was.''Your wife, would make you have a rank in the midst of the board directors, henceforth she would be going with you to the office.'' he stated, puffs other smoke into the air, then shot a glare at Anna, who was bleeding and crying.Lucian hardly stood up from the ground, he was gravely enraged, he hated the position he had found himself, he dug his fist towards the ground, punching it, till his hands started bleeding.The sound of Anna, jerkerd him up from the floor she was bleeding badly. '' I've never seen a foolish girl like you!'' he yelled at her face, loosing the rope around her, she screamed as he pulled it off her, tearing her flesh.He stormed out of the room, without taking another glance at her. Lucian ran into his secret cabin, he flung his shirt to the ground, throwing punches to the punching- bag. Anna pulled away from the chair, her blue eyes were occupied with pains, and tears blurring her vision. There was a knock at the door, Anna quickly wiped off her tears to see who was at it. '' Yes?'' she saw a blonde hair lady, standing in front of the door, she look elegant, but her clothes classified her as a maid of the house. '' Young madam, may I come in please'' she bowed her head, and shone a beautiful smile at Anna. '' Sure, come in'' she moved aside the door , the young lady entered and shut it silently behind her. '' How may I help you please?'' she asked, trying to utter with her voice, it mustn't be evident that she was crying.'' Young master asked me to attend to you'' she said, staring at her. ''Lucian did asked her? And he cursed me before leaving?, I know he must have been sad, I and my family are just the bad luck in his life'' she said inwardly, sighing out loud. '' Can I have your hands please Young madam? They are hurting badly'' the young lady frowned, she would look at her hands and back at her face again. Anna looks so much troubled and confused. How can she tell Lucian that this is beyond her doings too? If she could disagree to the marriage she would have done that a long time ago.Anna reached out to the lady, she applied the exact ointment, she had put on Lucian's back, it gave a burning pains, it was obvious on her face, she squeezed to endure the burns. She wrapped the bondages on her , and made her way out of the door.Anna thought Lucian would come after the maid left at least if not accurate, thirty mintues after, would do. She waited for hours but he didn't show up. She waited till it's 10pm in the evening, worried too, she hasn't seen any sign of him since he left the room angrily. Worried what he could be up to.The creaking sound of the door, overhauled her gaze towards the door, the room was dark as she turned off the light. His shadowed crawled into the room, aiming at the bed, he wants to crashed down on it, and never think of anything else, because he was already losing his mind.He threw amber eyes at Anna, who sat still on the edge of the bed waiting for him. '' You don't need to wait for me before you go to bed'' he pulled down his clothes, and jumped into the blanket, grabbing a pillow and throwing his glance at the other side of the bed away from her. '' I was worried about you'' she spoke softly, the moonlight made her glowing skin obvious, and the night gown was another light reflector, it was showing the beauty of it, and the curved of her shape. She look more like a run away model with tiny waist and tender skin. She let her hair fall to her back, like a cascade wave, the moonlight from the window shone on it too, and the jet black glittering hair from the light swept across her waist.'' Worry about yourself'' he said dryly, shutting his eyes. Anna was left speechless by his reply, he wouldn't say much to her, but to mind his business, his replies were as if he would be charge if he say more words.'' Figure out a way, about leaving my life, you are making it hell for me'' he grut. Anna could feel the tension in his voice, she didn't say anything but just quiver a bit, she had seen how he is when he is angry, and how fearless he is. But he wasn't thinking of hurting her right?'' Lu__'' just keep my name out of your mouth! He yelled before she could even mention the first two letters of his name.Anna wrapped her arms around her body, she pushed herself to the bed flames, bewildered of what to do, he thinks she was the one letting him suffer by not escaping, he thinks she was doing this purposely, If she had the chance to she would leave and never come back, but here her father's life was tied to it.'' How could she explain that Mr Ben had made a contract with the old man too?'' she leaned on her side pillow, she took a glance at him again before shutting her eyes.The early morning sun shone brightly into her eyes, blinding her temporarily. She didn't find Lucian in the room when she woke up, but the scent coming from the bathroom made her got out of the bed. It was the scent of her bathing liquid soap, she found the same maid who had attended to her wounds earlier, she seem to be preparing a bath for her. '' Good morning young madam'' she smiled and it glowed blissfully. '' Did you see Lucian, when you got in?'' she asked, ignoring her questions, although not purposely, she was worried were he could have gone this morning, when they had meetings to attend to. She was confident that he knew the old man's better.'' Do you mean young master? She lowered her head'' she was surprised she was calling him by his name, she knew how much punishment anyone can earn themselves when they call him by his name. '' I asked a question, why do you look that way like you have just seen a ghost?'' her brow knitted together. '' Uhm_ no young madam, I didn't s
The old master summoned the spy he had asked to follow them to the meeting, he had asked Zeru, Yero's junior brother, who was also smart, and skilled too. They were all the bodyguards of Old master. Even though none has been assigned to obey Lucian fully yet, they all have kept off from him, they fear him more than they fear the old man. As for the old master's aspect, they value their jobs more. '' How did it go?'' he asked Zeru, he was in a black notch lapel suit and black polarized shades with a black polish shoe to complete his outfit.'' Old master, Lucian has been invited to the company's night event where he has to introduce his wife to the group'' he fold his hands behind him, he stood straight as he spoke, with a chivalrous smile on his lips.'' uhm_ very good '' he smiled roguishly, nodding his head. '' how did Lucian behave? , and Anna with him? I hope he gave a good impression to the board members?'' he asked.'' Yes, old master, he kept it cool'' Old master had a smil
Anna wore a disturbed face, she sat beside Lucian on the bed, staring at him and galvanizing at the display she saw earlier. '' What could have happened to his parents that made him that way?'' her dark brown curves, suiting her v shape face, and her orbs eyes squinting watching Lucian sleeping peacefully.There was a knock at the door, Anna approached the door, and saw Nanny Alisa with a plate of hot soup. '' Here, take this and give it to him, this would make him a lot better after the drug subsides'' she reached the tray on Anna's palm, but her hands were shaking, she peeked at Alisa's eyes they were dull and teary. '' Tell me what is going on?'' she asked confused, and concerned about Lucian. '' Nothing his wrong darling, give him the soup it will make him a lot better after some minutes. I heard you have an event tonight, so give it to him.'' She wiped the little drop of tears in her eyes, almost at the tip of her eyelashes.'' Okay, thank you'' Anna shut the door behind her, pu
Anna woke up in the morning a little bit late than usual, she sat up as her jet black hair cover her face, and she rubbed the sleep off her blue eyes.Lucian wasn't in bed anymore, she trudged her hands on the position he usually stay, but it was vacant. '' Did I wake up late? Lucian is not in bed anymore, he woke up early for the first time'' she said.Eyes crawled up to the wall she saw what the time says, it was so early at 7 am. Anna tried to get off the bed, but she still felt drowsy, as if she was drugged with sleeping pills.She heard a knock at the door and widened her eyes. '' Lucian?'' she whispered with her soft voice. '' May I come in please?'' It was Yula's voice. '' Come in__'' Anna responded relaxing her brow. '' Blissful morning young Madam'' she smiled, entering with a gown in her hands. ''It's so early Yula, What's up?'' she asked.''I'm sorry, young master said I should get you dressed up, and join him downstairs'' she explained. '' Join him? What could he be up to
She didn't know when he got into the room, but she could feel he was inside, and felt him on the other edge of the bed. He wrapped his hands around the pillow, sleeping like he has not pressure or problem in life.Anna was happy he wasn't the type that snores, hence she slept peacefully as much as he did. A heavy kick sent her falling to the ground, as high as the bed was. '' Mum please! Dad! Do not leave me here!'' he started screaming out these words. '' No, no. I don't want to, I don't want to! Get the hell out of my life!'' Lucian subconsciously, disorganised the bed, including the room, smashing the night stand, and breaking the mirrors in the room. '' I can't breathe, open the door!'' Lucian yelled.Anna ran out of the room, after suspecting the same thing that happened earlier. She didn't call Alisa this time, the drug was not doing any good, so it was better he didn't take it. But how would she calm him down?She was back with a warm water on her hands. '' Lucian, calm down.
Anna sauntered out of the room, leaving the maid to clean up the room, while she look for Yula. She ambled passed the alley, going round the villa, searching for a maid like she has lost something precious. Yes precious... Yula was already becoming someone precious to her, and way to find out what happened to Lucian's parents.She passed the hall where some maids gathered, they seem to be having a discussion more like they were gossiping, the place went silent as a grave yard, the moment, they suspected her pretence. '' Have any of you seen Yula?'' she asked politely, fidgeting her hands across her phone, unknowing scratching her skin with the diamond ring on her finger.'' No young madam'' it was like a chorus reply, they lowered their head as their lips escaped the word. '' Any clue where she should have be now?'' She was impatient and didn't know why she was worried. The Yul's house was a very big mansion, how long is she going to find her? And Lucian was waiting for her downstair
Anna changed back into her normal outfit, after wrapping the gown exclusively into the brown box it came along with. She was desperate to find Alisa after trying the outfit, Yula's words echoed in her head, and kept her wondering why Alisa would do that.She didn't know exactly where Alisa's room was, it would be okay if she had ratified through the same path, when she was searching for Lucian the other night. It was a wee bit dark and quiet, the moonlight was on dominance, she sauntered slowly across the cold hallway. A little sound of whimper and moans alerted her ears, it stood firmly like a rabbit. '' Maybe it's just some little creature outside'' she said, hurling her fetish on the balcony.Anna heard the sound of the cry again, but this time a little louder. '' That's no animal cry, that's human'' Anna mumbled under her breath. '' Weird__ who could be trying by this time?'' she pouted.She followed the steps to the room where the sound was coming from, eyes pierced through the
As usual, Lucian invariably wakes up before Anna. She saw no sign of him when she woke up, and the first person on her mind was Yula. Whether Alisa likes it or not, she was going to take back her maid, as long as she has Lucian's permission. The new maid came, and Anna sent her back to call Yula instead. To occupy her mind before Yula's arrival, she thought of Lucian's answers last night. '' How could he despise his mom that much and love a maid?'' Doesn't it sound dubious? It does right? Aye, there was a knock at the door her face lit up like a bouquet blooming. '' Yula, come in quickly'' she chuckled a little. She saw that warm smile that has always been on Yula's face, her smile would brighten up the room each time she enters, she was bright and bubbly. Anna noticed that smile wasn't there that day in the kitchen, she only saw sadness, and the dullness of her eyes. Wondered what Alisa must have told her... '' Good morning young madam'' she bowed slightly, just a few days away fro
