LUCAS' POV My ears were the first to come alive to the steady beep sound of the monitor beside me followed by my heavy eyes only getting heavier as they struggled to flutter open. “Lucas?”, an echoing voice called, sounding both worried and angry. My best bet was James. He was the only sensible friend I had. “Lucas if you're not conscious today, I'm buying out your company”, another voice echoed beside me, yelling in a whisper. Wait! My company. The board meeting earlier today. My head shot up from the pillow with my pupils widening in realization but I soon regretted my actions as I collapsed back in pain. Nathan and James rushed to either sides of me, their faces looking a hundred times older. “What happened to me?”, I threw the question to both of them who started to stare at me like I was a fool. “So you're saying you don't remember the stupid act of yours before you passed out?”, Nathan asked, now glaring at me. I stared hesitantly at both of them, shifting uncomfortably in

Chapter 62

ELENA'S POV The dull weather perfectly complimented my mood today as I moped into thin air still laying on the bed with my hands tied to each sides. I had not made a single sound or attempted to struggle when the doctors came and left each single day for a freaking week. According to Mrs Hawthorne, “we need to make sure there's no single escape no matter what”, she'd said, eyeing me in her usual contemptuous gaze. As for Adrian, I never caught a glance of him during these traumatizing sessions and the entire period I was locked in here but the moanings and loud music from his room kept me up for days straight. “Get me a mirror”, I muttered lowly, pretending not to notice miss Edith's face lit up in joy from the corner of my eyes as she raised her head to look at me. It was a surprise even for me but I couldn't help it, at least not after an entire month has passed. Although I wished to soar my dark world alone without having anyone to share my pain, anger or even irritation with b

Chapter 63

LUCAS POV The Everhart's family Villa upstate was a place I never considered to be home for lots of reasons. Asides from visiting here once to go through the documents my father left me, I'd never been here again. I wasn't blind to the hatred and anger steaming from them during my formal introduction as the new heir of the Everhart family and businesses. Nathan carefully rolled me towards the main entrance murmuring bitterly under his breath. “I don't get why we have to do this Lucas, we could just lock every single one of those haggard faces and torture them until they cough up their last breath”, he whined endlessly, eyeing the entire mansion in contempt. My cold, scrutinizing eyes were no different from Nathan's but his continuous whinings eased up my expression a bit. “I’m disappointed in you Nathan. You've been the business advisor to my father for years and you still don't know my family is more complicated than you think”, I calmly retorted, lowering my tone as we got closer

Chapter 64

LUCAS' POV I puffed out a smoke watching the sun set from the balcony connected to my room. The previous night had gone exactly as I planned leaving me with a pile of questions I never thought to ask ever since.Why exactly did she find me then? She would have easily given the company to her son, Henry and kept her knowledge of me a secret. Perhaps I'd have liked it better if I never knew the truth about my family. Why did she get me to come back and act nice to me, if this was her plan all along? Something just didn't add up here. Another frustrated groan escaped my lips for the tenth time as I put out the cigarette, striding back into my room and laying down.My phone buzzed on the table besides my bed indicating a text and just as I picked it up, Nathan's heavy feet stormed into my room with a heavy expression as the announced the same dreaded words appearing on my screen. “Elena's gone missing”. My feet touched the ground almost instantly as I beckoned him to the balcony where

Chapter 65

ELENA’S POVI stared out the window out of my strangely well furnished room they threw me in for days now. After banging endlessly and even attempting an hunger strike, the pregnancy hormones didn't let me live up to my determination. Although I had no idea where I was but this place was awfully quiet and weirdly peaceful giving me some sort of much needed break. I twisted my less sore wrists which weren't tied to anywhere that they began to feel numb and swollen. My eyes wandered back to the blinking red dot at the top corner of the room knowing I was being watched. “Hey if you can hear me, at least tell me if I'm going to die or not”, I yelled towards it, turning back to the window facing the deserted island. Soon the door opened, letting in carts of food and different snacks making me sigh in frustration. “Uhm I just finished eating a full meal. Maybe you could bring it back later”, I said to one of the maids, wearing an apologetic expression but they all continued to do their j

Chapter 66

LUCAS POV Pregnant? A bomb exploded in my ears as I took a few involuntarily steps back taking in her somber expression and her leaner stature that looked nothing like her. “She was far worse than this when we brought her here”, Lucille said, like she read my mind. “I had to check her pictures twice to make sure”. Elena casted a glare towards Lucille, warning her to keep her mouth shut then awkwardly took a few shameful glances at me. “You know, this could be a hot topic for the media”, Lucille spoke up again, her shiny eyes seemed to be enjoying every moment of this. This time, my icy glares were directed at her almost regretting having her for a sister and a twin at that. “You're now officially a side piece huh”, she continued to tease, not in the least affected by my cold gaze. “Shut up Lucille”, Elena and I snapped at the same time, already fed up of her blunt and embarrassing remarks. “Lena how? Did he force you? James mentioned he saw you at the hospital and I've been text

Chapter 67

ELENA'S POV Having breakfast at the table was weird for me but Lucas and his sister's constant banter made it less weird. Despite the troubling call yesterday which made the three of us awfully silent, the twin siblings still found a way to jab at each other with their words. I mostly chuckled, other times choking down my food which I intentionally took my time to nibble on. Soon, my life was going to go from something to nothing all again. Every bit of happiness was taken away from me the moment I’d just started getting used to it, so why bother to hold on to any at all. My lost gaze found their way to Lucas again, sitting across the table passing glares to his sister who chewed slowly in satisfaction at her brother's expected reaction. A soft smile tugged on the corner of my lips as I instantly saw the love that had grown between them within just a day of…bonding, I guess. Although they still had a lot to uncover about their family but somehow being together made it seem less bu

Chapter 68

LUCAS' POV Nathan stormed towards us as soon as I parked in the underground parking lot, “If I didn't know better, I'll think you were on your honey moon”, he said, his voice filled with spite and anger. I straightened my suit striding along with him and keeping an emotionless expression on my face. “Where is she?”, I asked, blatantly ignoring his remarks. “In your office, last time I checked”, he shortly replied. “Should we go there first?”, he asked curiously. I shook my head sideways, making a beeline to the conference room. Even though I was sick of standing those greedy bastards for even a second more, I still had to..for now. A guard hurriedly pushed the door open giving room for us to enter but instead of a full room, my gaze swept around the empty chairs and dusty tables. How predictable of those money sucking fools? My eyes dimmed as I noted down each of them, determined to uproot them from my company, starting with that bitch, Katrina. “Let's go”, I muttered coldly, st

Chapter 69

LUCAS' POV The park was usually as dry as a desert during weekdays especially this early in the morning. It was perfectly quiet for Lucille and I to gather our thoughts and freely let out the questions on my mind. Nathan grudgingly stayed back at the company after I ordered him to because of his shameless stares at my sister who was too busy drowning in her own guilt to even throw a glance at him. “So, you killed father huh?”, I said slowly, as we walked to a slide where she sat on the steeps facing me. “I'm sorry Lucas. I didn't mean to”, she replied, her voice breaking and sounding defeated. I crouched in front of her, taking her hands into mine as I mustered a reassuring smile. “You had no choice Luci, I'm sure you were forced by the organization but why father tho?”, I asked, raising my eyebrows curiously. “And why did you leave since you already finished your mission?”, I asked again, now frowning in suspicion. She sighed heavily while withdrawing her hands from mine and p

Chapter 70

LUCAS' POV We all sat down in a circle on the porch as we watched the sun set while sipping coffee which was a tradition for them as Lucille explained to me. “It's so nice to finally meet you in person Lucas”, Emily, my mother's twin sister commented breaking through the silence. She was also a blondie just like my mother and sister but her round brown eyes with slightly chubby cheekbones gave her a natural doll face appearance. I politely responded by forcing out a small smile shifting in my seat again to contain the awkward feeling I had. Being away from my real family for so long definitely made me feel out of place and like a stranger, no matter how accommodating they seemed. Asides from Lucille who easily wormed her way into my heart, Elena was still the only person I recognized as my home. Who was I kidding? She was basically family to me. Even though Aunt Emily later explained how she was the one who took me away from birth but couldn't keep me because she was being monit
