FOLLOWER OF HIS STEP

Lucien can swear he predicted they'd have problems. He refers to the Pearsons when he says "they."

That's why he made sure Declan followed them. As long as Declan is there, he believes they are in safe hands. And they are.

But this isn't what he was expecting. When he thought of them having problems, he imagined something more. Perhaps, more alarming.

He can't help but laugh as he looks down at the message, even though it's not meant to be funny. Really? He shakes his head.

It's unbelievable. The Pearsons have been locked out of their mansion by Santiago's family, who claim ownership of everything. And as it stands now, Declan is at a loss as to what to do, whether to break through the gate or take them elsewhere because the family left a letter on the wall warning them that if they try to enter, they will die because they will push down the mansion regardless of whether they are inside or not.

That's why he texted him first before acting.

"Hmph! The Pearsons are really domineering!"
