The conference

Author's POV

Altona, New York City

There are several doctors from different regions of Altona who have come to represent their respective hospitals at the Cape Conference Center here in Altona.


Amongst them are the most popular billionaires, Dr. Lucian Swarex, Dr. Jones Brown, and many other top billionaire doctors who are also among the top 10 richest politicians here in Altona, New York City.



"Dad, do you remember the lady I mentioned to you earlier over the phone?"

Sabastin asked his father, Dr. Lucian, in excitement.


"What lady are you talking about, son?" He asked him confusingly.


"Her name is Isabella Elvis; look here, dad."

Sebastian brought out the handbook that was handed to everyone seated on the conference ground and contained the names of those that would be given the update course this afternoon.


"She will be giving her speech in a few hours. Dad, I am so excited. I haven't met this lady in 5 years now. The last time was in 12th grade in high school. We lost contact after I left for London to study."


Dr. Lucan Swarex is the CEO of Lucan Clinics and Diagnostic Imaging, one of the most happening diagnostic centers here in Altona. He gave a snort of disgust and scowled under the words of his son.


Both had excused themselves from the conference arena as it was break time. They stayed in the Chinese cafe to have some snacks and a fresh breeze.


"Are you not even concerned with my happiness? You are not saying anything." Sabastin snarled.


"What do I say to a son who has suddenly forgotten that he already has a bride, therefore he can't be with another woman?" His dad said to him and made a cheesy grin.


Sebastian clenched his jaw, widening his eyes. He pulled out of his thoughts.


"I can't and will never marry that spoiled brat, Bianca; it doesn't matter if she is the daughter of the most popular billionaire doctor." He sighed.


"I don't care about what you desire; you will do as I say," he said, raising his brows at his son.


"The Jones family is the number one most popular billionaire family ever recorded in this area." We have been friends even before you were born. Because of your avoidable mistake, you cannot cut short my year's dreams."


Sebastian stood up, crossed his arms, and said to his dad, "You haven't met this lady; you don't even know what she looks like." Why does it feel like you hate her?"


"My word is final on that; you had better behaved yourself, and may I also remind you that you will be having a night date with Bianca when the meeting is over?" "His father and I had made reservations in one of the most expensive hotels."


"Dad, I just came in from London yesterday; you insisted I accompany you to this meeting, and now this?"


"Is this how I am going to spend the three-week summer break?" "Fighting with you all the time?"

"We both agreed to this date; why does it sound strange to your ear?" His dad responded.


"You have been friends with Bianca since high school; what has she got that you desire outside?"


"Dad I know your interest in all this. I can never marry Bianca; I don't love her. She is a flirt."


"And you are so sure of your Isabella as a saint?" His father said to him:


"Isabella, Bianca, and I used to be classmates in high school, so I have known Isabella for years now; what's the difference?"


"The difference is class!" Dr.lucan shrieked.


"Class indeed! Class without manners. I remembered back in school those days how she would pick at Isabella over nothing; she was very loud and never failed to show off her family's wealth." Sabastin spoke softly.


"Bianca is in there with his father; you had better respect yourself and do what is right."


"What is right is not forcing me to marry someone I don't love; I haven't even finished my studies, my goodness!"


"Your Isabella might not be the only one answering that name; don't get your hopes up; she is definitely not the one." He chuckled.


"She is the one! I may not have been in touch with her, but I remembered all we told ourselves in high school. She mentioned attending university at one of the medical colleges here in Altona. I am certain she is the one."


"You are the only son of Swarex Lucan; the Lucan family is known for its class, fame, and wealthiness. You are the future CEO of Lucan's clinics; you can't be of a low class."


"May I also remind you that the Jones family is very powerful?" Bianca is their only daughter, and definitely, Brown will use his last drop to fight and protect his daughter's interest."


"Don't get that girl involved with us; you would only endanger her life because she could die. I can kill for you, son!" He scowed.


"This is not fair, dad! Would you do that to your son? You would take away my happiness? Then I am afraid you may have to forget that you had a son as well."


"Are you threatening your father?"

He stood up from the chair.


"No, dad, I am not threatening you; I was just stating the obvious facts."


Dr. Lucan harrumphed and said to him, "Don't say I didn't warn you." He left angrily.


Sebastian goes around the compound to see if he can see Isabella, as he is so positive that the name-bearer is definitely his Isabella.
