Chapter 11

The next day...

"Leo, let’s go," Lucas said to his driver as he stepped into his car. He was in the middle of a very important meeting that was meant to close his day’s work when he got an emergency call from one of the bodyguards he had assigned to trail Liam.

"Sir, the young master is in a frenzy at the casino. He’s drunk and causing a huge scene," the bodyguard had report

Lucas had no choice but to postpone his meeting so he could go stop his foolish son from embarrassing the family and landing himself in the news.

"Gosh," he muttered, irritation coursing through him as the driver made his way to the casino.

Upon arrival, the bodyguard was already at the entrance, waiting to receive Lucas.

"Sir, this way," the bodyguard said, leading him inside.

Inside, Liam was a drunken mess, covered in liquor and yelling at the top of his voice.

"Do you know who I am? I’m the heir to the fucking Wells empire!" Liam bellowed.

"Liam!" Lucas roared, immediately capturing his son’s attent

    Chapter 23Josephine hurriedly walked out of the company building as though her life depended on it. She had initially thought of having a conversation with Lucas on the way to control the ongoing situation, but after receiving the latest information, nothing seemed more important.***"Good day, ma'am. How may I help you?" the receptionist asked as Josephine stood in front of the counter.Presently, Josephine was at the Royal Suite Restaurant, one of the most prominent restaurants in the city. It was known not only for hosting elite customers but also for its high level of security. The restaurant provided a secured place to talk freely, with soundproof rooms and tight security measures ensuring privacy."Ah, yes. A reservation under the name John," Josephine said, managing to control her racing heart."Okay, ma'am. Give me a second," the receptionist said, offering Josephine a sweet smile as she quickly tapped on the keyboard in front of her."Here we go, ma'am. A

    Chapter 22"Violet," Josephine mouthed, her eyes trembling, her stomach sinking. "No… this is impossible," she whispered, as Violet's heels clicked against the marble floor, she sat down at the edge of the table."Tell me, Josephine, why is it so impossible?" Violet asked, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips, though her eyes remained dead cold and serious.The aura in the room shifted instantly, her presence alone commanding.Josephine felt as though the air in the room was being sucked out. Lucas, on the other hand, felt his world crumbling. What is she doing here? Why now? he thought. Why reveal that she’s alive now?He quickly snapped out of his shock, realizing he needed to refute her claim."How can she stake a claim?" Lucas asked, still standing, trying to assert his authority.Josephine, however, couldn't process anything. She instantly sat back down, trying to digest the fact that Violet was sitting before her."Mr. Lucas," the spokesperson began, but Lucas immediately i

    Chapter 21"Mom! Mom!" Liam called out as he headed toward her room.He had just seen the disturbing video of his father and couldn’t imagine what his mother was going through. As he stepped inside, he was met with a sight that took him aback—a woman he could barely recognize. Josephine sat there, her makeup ruined, her expression hollow with sorrow."Mom," he said softly, pulling her into a hug."Liam," she murmured, clinging to him.She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by her own choked sob. Though Josephine had put on a strong front in front of Lucas, deep down, she was shattered."Do you think this is karma?" she asked suddenly, shocking both herself and Liam.After the death of Christopher Wells—Lucas’s father, she and Lucas had grown distant, each consumed by their own thirst for power."Hey, look at me," Liam said gently, wiping away her tears. "It’s not karma, okay?"He paused, staring at her for a long moment before adding in a low tone, "It’s Lucas. His selfish

    Chapter 20The ray of sunlight touched Lucas, making him squint before finally opening his eyes.“Gosh,” he groaned in pain as he tried to remember the events of the previous night.“Damn this hangover,” he muttered, then paused as if remembering something important.“Mabel,” he said with a smile, his gaze shifting to the scattered bed.He frowned. Is she here? he wondered, calling out her name.Silence.He called again as he moved around the room, searching for any sign of her, but there was none.“Where the hell is she?” he muttered, quickly picking up his clothes from the floor and dressing up.As he stepped out of the room, confusion clouded his mind. He couldn’t remember anything from the previous night, so he dialed Mabel’s number. At least she would have an idea of what happened last night, he thought, smiling slightly as a new thought entered his mind.Were we intimate? he whispered to no one in particular.“Gosh, Mabel, pick up,” he uttered in frustration after trying her num

    Chapter 19"Josephine, please come back!" John said as Josephine pushed him aside and left the office.***Lucas's car stopped at the entrance of a magnificent building standing firm and proud, with a golden-colored sign stating Crystal Hotel."Incredible," Lucas said in awe of the building. Truly, it was a sight to behold."Isn't it?" Mabel said as she appeared before him."Thank you for making it.""No, thank you for inviting me," he replied as he took in her beauty.Mabel was wearing a red, body-hugging gown that accentuated her perfectly curved figure. Her lips were painted with a dark shade of red, and her hair was tied in a messy yet elegant bun."Gosh, you are beautiful," Lucas uttered, completely in a trance."Thank you, Mr. Lucas."Instantly, as if being shaken to reality, he frowned. "Can you not talk to me so formally? We are friends, so…""You are married," Mabel said, blinking her eyes."Let's pretend I'm not for tonight. I just want to have a good time without being remi

  • From Ruin to Revenge    Echoes of the past 1

    Chapter 18 Lucas leaned back in his chair, one hand gripping the armrest as he slowly spun himself in circles. His gaze flicked toward John, who stood across from him, hands clasped behind his back. "John," Lucas said, halting the chair’s movement. He stood, walking toward the window. "I need you to hire a private investigator." John hesitated. "Why, sir? I thought you believed Selena was guilty." Lucas let out a dry chuckle. "Let’s not waste time with that nonsense. We both know she’s innocent." John frowned. "Then… do you want her out?" Lucas turned, his eyes dark and unreadable. "Of course not," he said, his voice as sharp as a blade. "That woman will rot in jail no matter what. But my father always said, 'Know your enemies.' And that’s exactly what I intend to do." John swallowed hard. "Understood, sir. I’ll get on it right away." Lucas waved a dismissive hand. "That will be all." John nodded and left, but the moment he stepped into the elevator, he pulled out his phone
