'' Get out of my face I am disgraced to have you as my granddaughter. Your dad and mom are not qualified enough to me my son and daughter-in-law nor you are. Your family should leave this place immediately '' barked Lord Campbell in a loud voice,
Lucy felt the intensity in his tone, her feets trembled. '' Grandpa , I ...''. But all of that shouting caused her grandpa's pressure to go up as he just recovered from a stroke. All of a sudden he felt some pain in his heart.
Lord Campbell's face went pale as he clutched onto his chest. '' Grandpa, what's wrong with you? '' shouting this Julia went to his side to support him. He was in the wheelchair but from the pain, he was about to fall from there.
'' Grandpa '' shouts Isabella the wife of Gray. Lucy looks up to see her grandpa in pain. '' What's wrong? are you having pain?'' asked Gray. Lord Campbell while clutching to his chest faints.
Hughes who was standing there holds onto him. '' I think he's having another stroke '' remarks Olivia. '' WE need to admit him to the hospital now then shouldn't we? '' Steven asserts.
'' Someone calls the ambulance '' Julia shouts while shedding fake crocodile tears. Lucy was approaching her grandpa at this time someone got in her way stopping her from going there.
'' YOu can't go near him Lucy '' Hughes said '' You and your husband is the reason why all of this happened. Get out of this house immediately ''. '' But I want to see grandpa let me go '' she pleads.
'' NO means no, you can't go there go back to your house we will take care of the situation here '' he retorts looking at her disgustedly. '' No I will go to the hospital he's my grandpa also '' she insists.
'' Why are you making a fuss over this when you are the one who is the reason behind his stroke? '' Olivia remarks stepping in between them. Lucy was shocked '' what do you mean by that I am at fault ?''.
'' Aren't you? '' Julia adds '' You and your husband is the reason why all of this is happening here right now. He was the reason he got angry and because of you he shouts and the stroke got him ''.
'' Will you take the responsibility if something happens to Grandpa? huh, Lucy? and your dear husband will he take the responsibility ? my dear sister ?'' snarled Hughes in a sarcastic tone stepping in there.
'' Well....'' Lucy looks down at her feets. '' Instead of this should not we take him to the hospital ?''. '' Yes we will take him and you need to take responsibility if anything happens to him '' Isabella bellowed.
Lucy clenched her fist and replied '' Alright, I will take the responsibility now take him to the hospital or else something will really happen to him ''. '' Remember this '' said Hughes going away from there.
'' The ambulance is here '' Steven asserts with a shout. Then they take him in there with a strecher. All the other relatives starts panicking. His grandchildren and their partners they all go to the hospital following the ambulance,.
At this timee Robin who had run away from there aand went out into the street. He was feeling gloomy and all depressed. All the lights shimmer and glimmer of the streetilights was making him feel even more gloomier than before.
The old town made him feel as he's the most strange object there that exists. He felt as if all they eyes of people were looking down on him. This made him feel even more angry and humiliated.
He could hear the sounds of laughter ringing in his ears. He could not take all the jostling and bustling crowd and their shouts. Their words which pierced through his skin like needles.
As if the whole world was laughing at him. He could hear the only phrase '' Useless painter ''. All the efforst that he puts in his practise are they all in vain? they have no right to call me useless '' when he recalls that he grits his teeth.
He passed by the busy crowd and wanted to take refuge somewhere quiet all alone. And he knew where he will find that. He started running from the main street. He ran and ran as if there was no tomorrow.
In the dark and light he was running , at last he found some place to be all alone. It was near the St. Trinity Bridge where usually not many people goes at night. He stood there facing the river.
Then sighs. The cool breeze of summer night was making him feel comfortable. He loosen the tie which he has been wearing for many times during the occassions at the Campbells main mansion.
'' I feel like smoking to take some steam off , but I don't smoke do I ? '' he mutters looking at the dark lit sky filled with stars. '' So beautiful as if the whole sky was painted fresh just now ''.
'' I finally feel calm now ''. Then he heard some footsteps coming behind him. It stopped behind him. '' Is it you Young master ? '' said a low voice. '' Who? I really don't feel like entertaining anyone now go away '' he pleads.
' Won't you face me Young master? '' pleads the man behind him. The voice rings something in his heart. Robin looks behind right away. In front of him stood a man in his late thirties.
'' Is this you Chris? why are you back here? wasn't it enough to throw me out of the house ? ' he barks. '' I feel sorry about the bad experience you had after that '' he bowed down.
'' Well, that won't make us for all the hellish experiences that I had to face. Grandpa threw me and my mom out of the house when I was little. I don't know what happened to my dad after that nor do I care as he did not dare to help us survive after that '' Robin snarled.
'' My mom and me stayed in an orphanage and somehow managed to survive as she worked '' he continued. ' Where is madam now? '' asked the butler. '' As she had to maintain both of our iving expenses she overworked herself. Then eventually , she caught herself an incurable disease. As I was a little boy I did not had enough money to treat her as a result she died without medicine and treatment '' his eyes filled with tears instantly.
'' I still can't forget about that incident ''. '' And that is the reason behind of my sleeplessness , my mom comes to haunt me in my dreams '' he thoughts.
'' I am so sorry to hear that , Lord Bradley learns about his mistake after that he searched hard for you but could not find you. Your father wants you back in the house as the only heir of him. Your grandpa is waiting for you please come back to the mansion '' pleads the butler.
'' No, I won't go back to that scum of a man, I don't want to see the face of my dad either. Get out of here '' barks and shouts Robin clenching his fists. ' Are you sure about it? do you know what happened to lord Campbell after you left the place? '' Chris remarks.
'' What do you mean? what happened to the old man? ''. '' He had second heartstroke and he's in the hospital and the other relatives are blaming your wife for that. Are you fine with that? they will ask her to pay all the bills as compansation. Can she pay all of that money? '' Chris said.
'' Are you threatening me or anything like that? '' . '' No, I just wanna remind you that if you don't help Miss Lucy pay all of that bill they might kick her out of the house. What do you wanna do? help her and leave her to being ridiculed by the other family members? ''.
'' What do you want to do? the decision is upto you solely. I guess you need some time to make up with all the bottled up feelings within yourself. Don't worry you won't have to go back immediately. For the time being you can claim all the industries and companies that our Bradley family owns and they will belong to you permanently ''.
'' Lord Bradley wants to welcome you in the family and to show that he wants to give you the Walter group of industries as present. You may own all the ownership over it ''.
Chris takes out something from his pocket. '' Take this, this is a silver card this has around two hundred billion dollars as pocket money in it. These only belong to Bradley family which is the top wealthiest family in the country. You may use the money as you like ''.
'' And this is my card it has my number you may contact me if you need more money again or if you are in any kind of trouble. I will be always at your service young master Robin. I hope you will decide to come back to the family, I will be waiting for you along with the other masters waiting for your arrival anytime '' the butler bows down.
'' Now, if you excuse me I will leave now. Have a good day master '' Chris turned back and left. He got into the big black and lavish car which can be hardly seen in this city.
Robin just stood near the bridge and could not move from there. '' What just happened here? This card has two hundred billion dollars in it? then the whole Bradley family has around over one thousand billion dollars. And this is only just pocket money? ''.
'' Did I just became a billionaire in the blink of an eye? or something? this isn't a movie or something. This is real and all of this is really happening '' he was shocked.
The silver card was shining just like real silver the card number was embedded with real silver it seemed. '' I hate my dad, I hate him for what he did to me and mom. I can't forgive him as my mom died because of him ''.
'' But even my mom would want me to inherit the fortue. She wanted only me to get accepted into the family and now it's all coming true. I guess now I will be able to sleep in peace now. I am glad '' he sighs.
Then he recalls Chris's words that the old man was admitted into the hospital. '' I need to go there and help Lucy there or else she will be in trouble, Even if I hate my dad and grandpa and their money but this money will help me to help my wife then I don't mind ''.
'' Even if she hates me but I don't mind cause I believe that there is more to this relationship and I won't let it get broken like this. Should I tell her about the great amount of fortune that I inherited just now? ''.
'' No if I do it then I will make myself an enemy of all the other campbells. I can't reveal my identity so easily. I need to maaintain a low profile and take over the Bradley industry in secret without her or her relatives knowing. Let's keep this matter secret from her for the time being then '' he smiles a little.
'' Lucy, I am not the useless painter anymore, your husband is more powerful than all the other members in your family now. I can easily take over your small family easily now. I will get back against the members that made fun of me and insulted me. I won't forgive them easily , I will take my revenge on them ''.
He looked up at the sky and smiled. '' The me from now on will be completely different from the previous ones. Yes I will be reborn and changed I will show them what I am made up of and my worth. I am a billionaire now I can do whatever I want '' he was laughing to himself.
Then he grabbed the taxi and heads towards the hospital where Lord Campbell might be admitted into.
At the hospital, when Lord Campbell was taken the doctor said that he needs to have surgery right this instant or else he will die. He said that they were late to bring him to the hospital his life maybe in danger. They took her to the operation theatre. And all the other grandchilderens were waiting outside the threate. Lucy was standing at a corner praying for her grandpa. At this time the other doctor got out of the theatre then asked '' Who is his relative ? ''. They all gathered around him. '' We all are his relatives his grandchildern '' replied Olivia with worried eyes. '' Then please give the money on the counter. His operation fees are over five hundred billion. This an important surgery we need to replcace the parts in there. PLease get the money ready we will do the operation after it ''. '' Please start the operation we will pay for it doctor '' Hughes answered. '' Alright then '' he went back. '' Hughes, you said we will pay for
When they heard that all the fees were paid they were shocked. The color of their eyes had gone pale. Olivia steps forward and snarled '' Who paid all the bill? what's happening here? '''. '' Who did this? '' asked Steven. '' We can know who it is if we go over to the counter '' points out Gray eyeing at Lucy and Robin. '' Let's go see out grandpa Lucy '' Robin said to his wife. '' Can we see him now ?'''. '' Yes, we will just sneak peek over the cabin and come back. The doctor won't say anything don't worry '' Robin assured her. When they were about to leave Hughes blocked the way by standing in front of them. He's not going to let them go. '' You aren't going past me. Because of you grandpa is like this. Get out of this hospital right now '' he shouts. '' And who are you to tell us to go out huh? does this belong to your family or something ?'' retorts Robin with a plastered smile. Hughes's lips tightened giving Robin and Lucy a sour
Later that night, They went back to the same rundown old house that the Main family had arranged for them. Lucy's Mom and Dad were displeased to see Robin coming back to the house. '' What's the condition of your grandpa now? Is he out of danger? how did the surgery went ? '' asked Lucy's mom holding onto her hand. '' He's safe now the surgery went well. The doctor said him to take a rest that's all, He will be released from there in one week '' replied Lucy trying to ease her worry. Mrs.Campbell sighs in relief. '' Good to hear that ''. '' Why did you have to bring him back here again? I thought that he had left us on his own accord '' snorted Lucy's Dad in response adverting his gaze. '' Dad, where would Robin even go? this is his home, isn't it? Grandma was the one who brought him here. Where would he even go now? '' LI don't know nor do I care, we are already on bad terms with Dad and because
Robin walks past them inside the building. There were stairs and an elevator to go upstairs. He observed for a while. Then decided to take the stairs. Going up he went to the twentieth floor as mentioned By Chris where he will meet the owner of the Walter group. While going straight through the hall he met up with a man. 'He seemed to be a staff here. '' Excuse me can you help me ?'' Robin asked tapping on the man's shoulder. '' Ah yes, what help do you need? ''. '' I am looking for the owner's office can you show me on which floor it is? ''. '' Owner? oh you mean the one in charge here? ''. '' Yes, do you know where he is? I am not that good with business terms so I don't know. Will you take me there ? '' pleads Robin. '' Sure but before that, I need to call the person in charge you can't go in there without an appointment ''' asserts the man taking out the phone from his pocket. '' Ah yes, you can do that tell my name Robin '''. 
Meanwhile, Gray and Hughes both were waiting at the lobby to meet up with the head of the Walter group of industries. Gray was staring at his watch for a while ever since his secretary told them to wait for a while here.Hughes could not take the impatience any further so he decided to get up. '' How long will they make us wait like this? '' Hughes groaned. '' Calm down brother the boss is very much of a busy person. They said someone came to meet him so after that person goes away we can go inside '' Gray advised with a sigh.Hughes sits down again. Then they hear the footsteps coming closer to them. Gray's eyes wander at the sound and he looks up to see James Walter along with his dad's secretary is coming their way with a calm and composed face.Gray patted on Hughes' shoulder making him look up in surprise only to see James and the secretary coming their way. They get up in response seeing them. '' Welcome Mr.James we were waiting to meet your
After a few days later,One week had passed. Today is the day that Lord Campbell comes back from the hospital with full recovery after the heart stroke. All of his grandchildren have gone to bring him from the hospital only except Lucy and her husband Robin.He had arrived by car with them. The whole mansion is celebrating his recovery so they are arranging the whole house with flowers and all to showcase their love for him. Gray's wife was ordering the servants to do their jobs properly.She was a woman in her late twenties with curly hair which was tied into a ponytail. With quite a presentable face and slanted eyes, she is a charming lady. She was in the living room.'' Hey do your work properly there the dust is not cleaned off yet '' she commands at the maid who was cleaning all the windows. '' Yes M'lady I am doing it '' replied the maid weakly.'' I want all the work to be completed by ten minutes Grandpa
'' It was nothing more than an incident it could have happened to anyone. Forget about it, I am not holding a grudge against you for that '' replied Lord Campbell sipping onto his tea.'' I am glad about it, I hope you are well '' saying this Robin stands beside Lucy. '' Grandpa tell us about the thing that you wanted to tell us about '' whined Julia licking her lips in anticipation.'' Have some patience, my dear ''.'' Now the reason why I called all of my grandsons and granddaughters is that, as you already know that I had heart stroke previously and this time too, my health is not doing well too now. I can die any moment if I receive one more stroke then I will die. If that happens then all the wealth and business of mine will waste away for nothing '' explained Lord Campbell with a sigh.'' I won't be able to take that '' he puts down the cup onto the plate handing it to Olivia.'' So, I have decided to choose an inher
After Robin and Lucy walked out of the house, Julia snorted '' We need to teach that clown a lesson, he's becoming quite cocky these days ''. '' Yes, and the bill settlement affair is still not clear to us yet '' remarks Isabella.''' From where did Lucy got so much money from? '' asked Olivia. '' We will know about it eventually, how's grandpa ?'' Hughes asked Isabella. ''He's sleeping, for now, I have given him the medicine '' replied Isabella.'' I have something to say before you all leave '' comments, Julia. '' What is it ?'' asked Gray. '' We all re-running for the succession but we can't forget that our sole enemy is Lucy only. We can't let or her family gets back here in this mansion at whatever cost it is ''.'' I am with you '' Hughes said patting her shoulder. '' We all are with you we all will cooperate to make an embarrassment out of her '' said Gray.'' Lucy won't ever succeed in proving herself more useful than us, ever
After that, Lucy and Robin open an café together where they both work by themselves. She opened it with the money she had saved while working in office.They live their days happily, with her mom and dad.1 year later, they managed to make it one of the popular café in town.Christina and Noir comes to visit from time to time with their new boyfriend.Christina is dating Hughes from Lucy’s family, and Noir is dating Henry.Lucy’s grandpa was devasted, but didn’t said anything when Lucy sold her company because of Robin.The main house only remained a small part of their wealth.Gray and Isabella had a son and the whole family divided up.Grandpa kicked all of them out and lets the house sit empty.Lucy doesn’t go to visit.Today’s another day at work. While robin was working, someone came up to the counter.He thought it was a client, so he asked, “What can I get you?”.“I’d like my son back. Can you give him back to me?”.“Your son? What?” he looked up to see his father standing.He
Lucy takes an taxi and heads out towards Bradley mansion.“I have to go. I have to stop him.”“Even after knowing the truth, I can’t let it happen.”“I have to stop it.”“Lucy. Hurry up!”.“I don’t care whether he loves me or not. I can’t let him sacrifice his life, just for the sake of my achievement.”“I won’t let that happen.”She reached the house on time.Meanwhile, Christina and Robin stood face to face at the isle.Richard’s guests were all present at the spot.The priest began to speak, “And now, lift up the veil of the Bride.”“Then we shall began the engagement ceremony.”Robin looked at Christina, and reached his hand towards her direction.His hands were trembling.She had closed her eyes, unable to stare into his face.“Do I really have to do this?”.Lucy’s face was appearing on his mind.“I am betraying her this way, aren’t I?”.“Will I be able to face her after all this?”.He touched her veil, about to lift it up.Only to hear a voice coming from the doorway.“Stop it r
The night seemed to long, but eventually it passed by.In the morning, Lucy woke up and brushed her hair.After brushing she goes to have breakfast.When she finished eating she goes to her room for one final time.Suddenly, her phone started ringing.She looks around, searching for the source of the noise.And found it sitting on the bed.She picked it up and looked at the screen, only to see none other than Chris’s number displaying.“Who’s this now?”.“Hello, who?”.“I’m Chris, thanks for picking up.”“Chris? Who’s that?”.“I need you to come to a place, please come immediately.”“A place? But where?”.“I’m sending the location, please come by 9, it’s urgent.”“9, but why?”.“You need to know something. It’s about Mr. Robin. If you won’t hear it out you might regret it later.”“Regret?” Lucy became puzzled for a second.“What are you talking about? Please explain.”“You only need to hear this, nothing else.”“I’m hanging up for now. I’ll be waiting.”“hey, hello-“.Lucy stared at h
After that, wedding preparations were going in the Bradley household.Everywhere there are lights, decorations many guests are invited for it.While Richard was reading aloud the name of the guests he was inviting, Robin was just staring out at the door without listening to him.His dad noticed this and called, “Are you still wishing that your wife will come back and waste this marriage?”.“You are already divorced. Stop daydreaming.”Robin turns to his dad with an worried face.“What? No, I’m not thinking about anything like that.”“That’s written all over your face. Stop looking at the past and move forward with the future.”“you will have a new life with a new partner. Why don’t you-“.Christina came from the other corner of the room.Richard spots her and smiled. “There she is, your would-be wife. Come here dear.” Robin looks out to see Christina.“Sit beside him. I want to discuss about your dress and everything. We don’t have much time so we have to hurry up and arrange it.”
“Divorce papers sent by Mr. Robin.” Replied the man in a cold tone.Lucy’s eyes widened in shock.“What?”.“Mr. Robin wants to break off this marriage, which is why he has sent me these papers along with his signs. If you sign them then this agreement will be complete.”“After this, you two will no longer be husband and wife.”Lucy’s whole world crumbled. She couldn’t believe anything at all.The lawyer handed out the papers to her to review.“Have a look.” Lucy peeked at the file, still unable to believe it.Then she picked it up gently, and starts to check inside.Robin’s sign remained there by itself.She ran her fingers across the signature.“I know it’s quite sudden news for you to take,” The lawyer began to speak.“But, even you knew it yourself, that this day was going to come eventually.”“You two had been staying separated for over a week, so he finally made up his mind.”“He don’t want anything to do with you, so please if you feel the same, then sign this agreement.”“This
Soon after that, she goes back home and tells her parents about it. knowing this, they become very much happy.But they also ask about her husband whom they haven’t seen for a whole week.Lucy still doesn’t plan on telling them about it. her mom tried to call Robin, but Lucy stopped her from calling him.At the end, Grandpa invited her out for the ceremony which will happen tomorrow to make her the heir of the Campbell group and industries.Lucy went to bed with an happy face.Meanwhile, while having dinner along with his dad, Richard sat in the middle with an blank face.He didn’t touch the food yet.Chris noticed this and comments, “Please eat up something. You didn’t eat since the afternoon.”Richard looked at his son.“Oh, he didn’t eat, why?”.“He was worried for Ms. Lucy, that’s why.”“Oh?” Richard glanced at Robin and began to talk.“I met her today face to face. Quite an enthusiastic spirit considering they are the Campbells.”“I invested quite an large amount of money today.
His dad and Robin appeared sitting in the back of the car, smoking a cigar.“Hm….you know it yourself how much of an amount you are telling me to invest in her, aren’t you?”.“That’ll cost you a lot.” “Are you willing to pay for it?”.Robin looked at him with a straightforward gaze.“I know, but I’m still going to take the risk anyway.”“Hm…..”."You may never see her again. Will you still risk it?" his eyes were serious when he looked at Robin. Robin takes a deep breath, "I don't care. As long as she is happy, as long as she wins and earns her reputation, I don't care.""I want her to achieve her goal. I'm ready to pay any price." Richard clicked his tongue, "I hate brainless monkey's like you. Hard to think you are my son." “Alright then.”“I don’t mind helping you out.”“As long as you get to divorce her in the end, I don’t care.”“I will,” Robin said, taking a deep breath.“Good then. I’ll be investing this amount of money on the project in their company.” He showed him the ca
The next morning.By the time Lucy’s team reached office, she had already arrived and started working.“When did you came?” Nick asked, putting down his bag.“Quite an couple of hours ago. You all sit down and start working.”“The meeting will be in 11, then we will focus on the next one after the deal is signed.”“There’s no time to waste, hurry up!”.“Ah, yes!”.They get into work, and attend the meeting. And they manage to get the deal signed.They finished the next meeting before evening and got it signed as well.And at last, it was time for the board to refresh for the day.Lucy was inside the building getting the paperwork ready to give them to Picado.Her team mates had already gone downstairs.When the board refreshed she was right in front of the window.Her eyes widened in shock to see the board.Her name was on the 2nd, and Olivia was on the 3rd and Gray was on the 4th along with Hughes.She stood there for a couple of minutes shocked, unable to believe what she was seeing
He closed the door behind him and locked it. Then carried her up to the bed, and placed her on the bed roughly.Christina looked up at his face unable to understand what was going on.“What is he planning to do?”.He held her hands above her head and peered deep into her eyes.Her throat was starting to go dry out of fear and excitement.“Um…Robin….”.He clicked his tongue and pulled her roughly, helping her get up on her feet from the bed.They stood face to face on the ground.He was starting to take off his clothes. She adverted her eyes right away.He finally unbuttoned his shirt and now stood topless.“Kneel!” he commanded in a harsh tone.She was startled when he yelled.“Uh…..”.“Are you saying-“.“Kneel!” he said again.“On the ground?” she stuttered.He nodded his head sideways.She glanced down at the carpet lying at her feet and gets down on her feet.“Kneel as a dog does!” he added.She changed her posture and sat just like an obedient dog does.She looked at his face and
