Playing a game of vengeance is as hard as breaking a rock, especially when that game is equally as dangerous as something much more powerful; Love. Meet Luke, one of the few Trillionaire's in Europe. Luke Carrington, 25, carries an unimaginable amount of anger, hatred and pure resentment towards the Richardson family- the family responsible for the destruction and demise of family. He holds a deep grudge towards the Richardson family, believing they had orchestrated the murder of his parents. After narrowly escaping being murdered too, young Lucas flees to South Africa. Now an established man and one of the richest men in the world, Lucas returns to London and finds his way to the Richardson mansion to strike a deal with Judith Richardson after cunningly seizing all their wealth. Best believe that things are about to fall apart for the Richardson's, and our hero might just have some dangerous motives in mind.

"Bloody hell!" I yell as I barge into my room, fuming with rage, and angry tears welling up in the corners of my eyes. How dare Uncle Mark and father make a mockery of my choice of friends? I honestly wanted to give them a huge piece of my mind, but I'd been brought up in a decent way− it would be unladylike and extremely rude for me to speak rudely with the elders.

"Sweetheart!" My ever loyal and over pampering godmother, Ruth enters the room, obviously hoping to pacify me.

"Aunt Ruth, can I please get some privacy? If you don't mind." I ask, in a composed tone. I really wanted to smash everything in the room. What right did my father and Uncle Mark have to insult José, just because he was black? They could have waited for him to leave the damned party before they passed on their disgusting comments about another human being! José was my guest and he had never wanted to come to my party, a party thrown by a group of racist aristocrats! I was beyond mad. How would I face José now? How would  I apologize? How would I face the rest of the school? "It must be on LDN Rich & Famous already." I say as I cover my face with my pillows. Today was definitely not a pleasant day.

Waking up from my sleep, I still feel enraged. I had stayed in my room sleeping all day, ever since the incident with José occurred. I had intentionally refused to see Judith, my mother, nor would even dare see my father. I'd stayed in my room two days straight without food, merely surviving on the Oreos, apples and gummy bears I had left. I wanted to return to school, but I just couldn't find the strength to do so.

My university, Dubois C, wasn't a place where things were hidden for long, news didn't travel within twenty four hours, it travelled even before the incident occurred. Note the sarcasm.

Dinner that night was unusually quiet and calm, my father had not uttered a single word since I'd joined them at the table, and I was very glad. I couldn't bear  the hunger anymore, so I'd decided to just give up and feast my mouth on something appetizing. My mother seemed unbothered as usual, but I couldn't care less− I was used to Judith's indifferent behavior.

I am tempted to take a sip from the bottle of Moët champagne that lay before me, but fof reasons best known to my father, I wasn't allowed to take alcohol until my entry into womanhood, which was considered 20, in my family. I was a conservative girl at least, so many other girls I knew, about ninety nine percent of them who weren't even eighteen or above eighteen had been having sex and even having abortions too. In my own case, I'd promised herself that on the eve of my birthday I would have sex with Rocket, my long time boyfriend. Suddenly, I decide to retreat back to my room− the silence was annoying. My father didn't even have the decency to at least say something or even a damn 'I'm sorry' speech? Goodness! I would move out of the house the moment I clocked twenty one.

The next day, Judith, my money obsessed mother had failed in her miserable attempt to speak to me, well, not that I'd had given her the chance to speak anyway. Judith was obsessed with power and status. She wanted to stay on top the social tower forever and she would do anything to satisfy her vain desires. Although, she was not a racist like her husband, who had a baseless and biased judgment towards people of color. Judith and I weren't close. She'd thrown me into a boarding house at the tender age of five despite my pleas and requests. I'd lived most of my life away from home, at school.

I had decided to take a walk during the early hours of dawn, but sleep had coerced me into doing its bidding. Now, at about fifteen minutes to ten, I find myself in the pantry, doing the thing I loved most; writing reviews. I had been busy all through the semester and I had no time to even think of writing my reviews. I pick a can of cranberry sauce− one I'd never seen or had. I would write a review of it and whatever else I could get my hands on. After piling dozens of cans up, I begin with my laptop, writing reviews of the new spices Maggie, our chef had bought. With help from Maggie, I'm able to add a few dishes that could be made with the spices and sauces. No doubt, like every other time, I would be getting tons of 'Thank you' messages.

Days had passed and I was still not interested in speaking to my parents, I wanted my father to apologize for his racist comments and as for my mother, well, I wanted her to apologize for neglecting me all my life. I hadn't for once, felt the love and warmth of a mother.

"Natalie, your father needs you in the study." Lea, the help says as she enters my bedroom.

"Good morning, Daddy." I say, feeling awkward. My father and I were close, and deep down, I knew he was genuinely a good person. It was just too bad that Uncle Mark has influenced him in such a negative way.

"What I said, I know it hurt you. I'm sorry, princess." Judith enters the room.

"Harry, the Senator's here to see you. Go, get dressed. You look a mess." Judith says. I could hear a hint of anxiousness in her voice but I ignore it.

"Daddy?" I call.

"Yes, my dear?" He responds. I move closer to him.

"Are you okay? Your eyes are a bit jaundiced."

He smiles at me. "I just need some rest, Princess. Go, go have a walk in the garden. We'll have dinner soon."

Dad had gone to attend to the Senator, leaving me behind in his massive study. I begin to go through the books in the library. I could find something interesting to read.

A few minutes later, dad returns. "You're back." I say, observing his demeanor. This time, he looked pale and extremely tired.

"Your birthday, it's in two weeks isn't it?"

"Yes, on a Sunday."I say, a smile playing across my lips. The moment I'd been waiting for would finally come to pass in a matter of days, my night with Rocky.

"Alright. Get your I.V list ready, and let me know, okay?"

"Including José?" I ask, slowly observing his reaction..

"By all means, Natalie.It's your party, do as you please."

A few days later. . . Preparations for my birthday had begun. Judith had bragged to her friends about her only child turning twenty and as for my father, I wondered why he always looked tensed.  Rocky had payed me a visit for a short while. After Rocky's exit, thankfully, Aunt Ruth had come and she'd gifted me a lovely custom made Versace nude evening dress that complemented my skin and showed off my essential curves. I had decided that I would leave the next morning after a proper thank you speech to my parents. I was half scared that my parents would somehow find out I'd had sex with Rocky if I stayed behind.  Going downstairs , as I inspect the decor, I realize that they're dull and boring, but extremely expensive. I would have preferred gold or burgundy decorations or a livelier color, but my parents had instead, gone with a pale and annoying shade of grey.  "Thank

The doctor had seen my father, and he was okay, resting in his room. Aunt Ruth had announced to the guests that the party was over. I was beyond sad and deeply hurt.  "Natalie?" Rocky calls.  I feel relieved, just the person I needed. "Hey."  "What happened? Why was the party cancelled?"  My eyes become watery, causing Rocky to worry. "Are you okay?" He asks. "Daddy is dying, he has a brain tumor."  "Oh, my God. Natty, I'm so sorry. How did that happen?" "I don't know, he said he found out a few weeks ago." Rocky hugs me, "Everything's going to be fine, Natty." He assures me.  I remember my plans for the night. Would having sex despite my father's current condition make me selfish? I didn't know. The only thing I wanted was to forget about my problems. I didn't want t

Judith's Pov "Did Carrington send you?" I ask, as soon as Natalie leaves the room. "Yes. I'll get straight to the point. Mr. Carrington has decided that if your daughter doesn't agree to marry him within the next 24 hours, he'll go public with something that will hurt not only your family, but will make you land in prison." "The docks, 2003." The man states, and I lose my balance for a second. It was a secret no one could ever know. It was a secret my husband and I had to die with.  "She'll do it." I respond as fast as I can. "Here," He brings out some documents and hands them over to me. I take them. He continues, "This states that she will not withdraw after giving her consent, neither will she ask for a divorce. Mr. Carrington will be the only one capable of asking for a divorce." "She'll sign it." I respond, still trembling in fear.

My eyes are red and puffy from crying. I'm dressed in a grey dress, ready to be sold off like a piece of furniture. My life had take a wicked turn in a split second. I walk to the balcony as soon as I hear a car arrive. I look down from the balcony. It had to be him, Carrington. As though he can feel my eyes on him, he looks up. Our eyes meet. I look away and retreat.    "I'm glad you made the right decision." Judith says, barging into my room. I look at her, anger and pure disgust in my eyes. "Shall we? We mustn't keep him waiting." "Where is my father? Does he know what you've done?" "Your husband to be is waiting, Princess."  As I arrive downstairs, the first person I see is a tall, well built man. He looked like he was in his late twenties. He had blue eyes, and was blonde, just like me. He has a blank expression on his face. He must be Car

"I'd like to escort my father to the hospital before I leave." She demands as she walks up to me.  "No, you can't. I'll have some of my men escort him if you wish." She gives me a dirty look, "Don't you have a father? How can you be so cruel?" She asks, and I almost laugh. Father? I want to grab her neck and yell. Tell her that her father was the reason why I didn't have a father, a family for that matter. I chuckle. "I did, at some point." I answer, trying to calm myself. I continue, "But now, I don't and I certainly don't care about you or your father." The only reason why I was  "You can't stop me from seeing my father, I will see him with or without your consent!"  "I'm your husband, Natalie," I say as I pull her closer to me, squeezing her arm, I continue, "and, you will do as I wish." There's so much anger and hatred in her eyes as she squirms, "In name alone

I glance at the clothes and look at the clock, it was almost nine in the evening. I was ready to go for dinner even though I was terrified. After dressing up and applying a thick coat of red lipstick, I head downstairs when I notice Carrington already on the dining, alongside the strange girl, Laurel.  Carrington gets up and takes out my chair for me. I don't say anything but I give him the could shoulder and glare at him. I was petrified. He frowns slightly.  "Laurel, please, could you excuse us? Just a minute." "Yes, sure." She says, and I could swear she gave me a dirty look. "Thank you, for wearing the dress I sent. I must say, it suites you."  I chuckle softly, annoyed by his guts. "I told you to stop acting friendly with me. Stop pretending to be a good person, because we both know you're not." He sighs, "Look, Natalie, I really don't hat

I didn't know what time it was because I hadn't left the room since what transpired between Luke and I earlier on. I was curled up in my bed, with no tears left to cry. My mind drifted into thoughts about my father. I hoped he was doing well and recovering well. I missed him so much during these hard times. I wonder if he knew what my mother had done. If he knew that I had been sold off like a piece of furniture just to save our name and money. My mind drifts off to Rocky. Why hadn't he come for me? Did he hate me? It wouldn't come as a surprise after all, I did betray him.  I had decided to take a tour round the house— if I was going to escape again, I needed to know every possible escape route. Luke's house was indeed very huge. There was a total of nine rooms and every room had a bathroom in it. There was a mini theatre on the second floor and beside it was a chapel with the statue of Mary in it. I had prayed there for a while, asking and b

Luke had offered to get me a glam team for my hair and makeup but I had refused, because I would feel more uncomfortable than I already was if he kept throwing favors my way. I am getting ready when the door opens.  I look through the mirror to see who it is. It's Luke. There's total silence for a few seconds until I speak. "What do you want?" I ask, still looking at him through the mirror.  "May I come in?" He asks. "You already opened the door, didn't you? Might as well enter." He enters, a box in his hand.  "What is it?" I ask. He opens the box and it's a ring. A very expensive, shiny, beautiful blue ring. I look at him, my face emotionless and his, hopeful. "I realized that I didn't get to give you this because of the way things happened so fa— "You mean how you coerced me into marrying you?"  He's quiet.
