Kiandra picked up the file which Lucas had asked her to go through and she started to look through them. “There’s something wrong with this calculation,” she said after five minutes of reading it. As she started going through the file, she noticed that there was something wrong with what she was looking at.Didn't Lucas notice it? She asked herself.Lucas looked up from his laptop and he gave her a questioning look. “Let me see,” he said, and he took the file. He had gone through it himself but he didn’t see anything wrong and so it was shocking to hear Kiandra say something was wrong with the file. Maybe that was because he simply took a glance at it instead of actually assessing the contents of the file.“What’s wrong with it?” he asked after he had gone through it and found nothing wrong. He went through the figures he was looking at and they all seemed to add up so what was the issue?“While I was searching for a job, I looked into the company that supplies the raw materials us
“We’re here, sir,” The driver informed Lucas, and he looked up from the file he had been reading ever since they left his company.He looked at his watch and saw that they were way ahead of time, which meant that he didn’t have to worry about meeting Daira.She didn't like coming to her family's company which meant she would arrive about an hour later just to see him.He opened the door and got out, and so did Kiandra. She looked at the building which stood tall just like the rest of the buildings surrounding it.“Can you tell me what the meeting is about, so I won’t embarrass myself,” she requested as they headed into the building. There was no information about it when she checked the schedule and so, she was clueless as to what the meeting was all about.“It’s a personal meeting and not a business meeting, so you don’t have to worry about anything as you won’t be asked anything,” Lucas answered her. The receptionist didn't bother stopping Lucas as he wasn't a stranger. He already
She immediately headed to the elevator and as soon as it opened, she felt someone push her gently into the elevator. She turned and saw that it was Daira who had pushed her. The latter then pushed a button that turned off the power to the elevator. This was what she was talking about. She wasn’t ready to become enemies with someone over Lucas.“I’m sorry I pushed you,” Daira apologized, shocking Kiandra. “I want to talk to you,” she started.“Listen, I’m sorry for the way Lucas spoke to you. I’m his executive assistant and there’s nothing more than that,” Kiandra quickly explained.“Calm down, I’m not here to fight with you,” Daira chuckled, and Kiandra squinted her eyes at her as she wasn’t quite convinced. “I trust Lucas, so you don’t have to worry.”“So, why are you here?” Kiandra probed.“Lucas is someone who likes to keep to himself and it takes a toll on his health, thus causing people like me who care about him to worry unnecessarily,” Daira started.“I have a small request fr
“We’re being followed,” Lucas answered, and he brought out his phone to call someone. He had noticed the black car as soon as they left the construction site, but he had ignored it at first. However, in order to be safer than sorry, he informed his head of security about the situation right there and then, even though it was just a gut feeling.However, after thirty minutes of traveling, he was convinced that they were being followed as the car didn't overtake them despite being so close to them and it took the turns they did.This wasn’t a new thing to him, as his life was always in danger. One person or another was always trying to kill him for things he might have done. He immediately texted Spider the plate number of the car so the latter could begin his investigation, and he also informed him of the situation, so his head of security could swing into action and find the idiot who was behind this.“What do you mean, why are we being followed?” Kiandra asked worriedly as she look
Lucas picked up his phone, which had fallen when the car crashed. Thankfully, it was still in good condition and he called Spider.“I’m close to dying here. Where the hell are you?” He asked in annoyance.“We’ve already got your location sir, and we’re close,” Spider responded and Lucas heard him telling the driver to step on it.“We don’t have that much time again,” Lucas said, and as he spoke, the window on the side where Kiandra was sitting finally broke.The man who had asked for her immediately unlocked the door and dragged her out. ‘Fuck!’ Lucas cursed, and he unlocked his own side and got out.The men immediately pointed their guns at him. “Either way, you were going to die, but we would have given you an easy death if you had made our job easy.”“Let her go!” Lucas growled in a low voice as he didn't appreciate the man touching Kiandra.“Don’t worry, we’ll kill her after we’re done with her,” the leader chuckled. “I and my men will have fun with her,” he said as he used his gu
The ride back to the city was silent as Kiandra was too shaken to say anything and Lucas wanted to give her time to process what she had witnessed.Kiandra could still see the pool of blood and the sight of those dead bodies. The one that affected her the most was the dead body of the man who had tried to kill her.It was so easy to take a life and Lucas was an expert in taking people's lives. She glanced at him and saw that he was focused on the road. He didn't even look bothered or agitated at what had just happened.Was this how calm he was when he sent that man to kill Zendaya? She wondered.“Did you really have to kill them?” Kiandra asked in a low voice, breaking the silence between them.“Huh?” Lucas replied, as he didn’t hear what she said.“Did you really have to kill them?” Kiandra repeated, her voice louder this time.Lucas glanced at her for a second before returning his gaze to the road. “What did you think I was going to do to the people who tried to kill me and you?” he
“Can you stop referring to me as though I’m an object you own,” she requested.“No. As I said earlier, you’re my toy and I'll refer to you as such” Lucas retorted. “Besides, if something happens to you, who will amuse me like you do?” he asked and Kiandra grew further irritated.“Pull over!” she snapped in anger.“No, toy,” Lucas deadpanned, further annoying her. “I have to make sure you get home safely.”“So your personal amusement and money do not go to waste,” Kiandra replied sarcastically, and Lucas nodded in agreement.“You can’t take me home, as I have to pick up my daughter,” Kiandra told him as she was tired of arguing with him. It would only lead to her getting upset.“She’s with your friend?” Lucas asked and Kiandra nodded.Lucas then pulled over and brought out his phone to check something. Kiandra didn’t bother with him and she looked outside the window. She turned when he started the car again. Her eyes fell on the screen in the car and her eyes widened with shock when s
Lucas arrived at his destination and the gates slowly opened as the guards recognized the car.Ignoring the greetings from the guards, he drove the car past the gates, and soon after, he parked it in front of the warehouse.Upon getting down, he was met by Spider who had been waiting for his arrival. "Has everything been taken care of?" Lucas asked, referring to the men he had ordered them to kill."Yes sir, everything has been taken care of," Spider answered and Lucas started to walk into the building. The building looked like a warehouse outside, but only those who walked there actually knew that it wasn’t. Hence, the reason why it was located on the outskirt of the city where it wasn't easy for anyone to access.It was Lucas’ den for torturing those who crossed him. No one who had made it there ever made it out alive. Lucas let Spider lead to the way to where his special prisoner was being kept. Spider could feel the dangerous aura Lucas emitted and he could tell it was going to
