Gosh I hate myself for this... My schedule is just so tight lately,  I just couldn't help it... 
I was so angry with the fact that I wasn't able to update... 

I had to squeeze  myself to update this episode  ....thanks for reading 

Lucas POV: 

Anger boiled in me at the sight of my friends ...I sank my teeth down my bottom lip  and watch .....ØŒthey were making fun of me, and all I could damn do was watch ...

"Elliot, that gal is so hot"
Jack manage to choke out the word between bouts of uncontrollable laughter ...

Elliot wrinkled his nose as he grin along 

"jack u know.... 
it was as if she has this distilled decades of some fierce emotion in a bottle and then split it out where it hate a whole heart out,  cause I can't really figure out an emotion that could produce a voice like that"

Jack struggled breathlessly as humor lit up his face.... 

"it was steady,  full and so frightening,, gosh the voice was as strict as a lion.. "

"oh no no no " they laughed out loud... 
Their bass voices made a tingling strike in my brain and I so wish at the moment to drill an air out if their throats 

"Jack,"

"what, I think I saw red !!!"

Elliot who was glaring at the phone said much louder now 

"where where, give me the phone" Jack grabbed the phone from Elliot and stares eagerly into it

"What!!!!!!!! Haaaaaahaha, red" 

They both burst into another loads of uneasy laughter... 

I sat there staring at them like a person who just got a flu... . gosh have never been so humiliated in my life,
Those two are destroyers,

they could tease to the extent of getting mad..
Tom and Nigel sat there laughing at the way Elliot and jack was making fun of me....

Of course, that girl was just a new kind of experience among the billionaires sons...
We never believed anyone like her  could exist ...
She sounded so brave,  emotionless,  confident and sulky.. 
I never imagined anyone could dare stand the sight of my looks and still has the chance to talk that way,  a lady at that end 

who the hell does she think she is????

I squelched at the resentment welling in me and there I realise if I do not l vent my anger now, it could drive me crazy..

. i felt the urge to kick on something hard...
Something iron and hard

I picked up where i  left
off my violence and stamped out of the room without saying a word 
On my way i stormed on a maid who broke all the glass cups she was holding, 

"Are you blind or what" I spatted at her face ...

...."am sorry sire"

"whatever"....

I pushed her aside and raced further to the  ball field..

 An hour later 

I feinted left and bolted right ...
Double deck the ball and press it down.. 
I was panting like a person who was about to die... 
heavy sweat trinkle down my face while I wipe it off with the back of my hands ...
Left,  right,  left right 

I was passing the ball in between my legs with a gasp that was barely audible 

My friends were calling me to stop now but, I was here playing my skull out ...

I raced, duck, kick ،،

"You gonna hurt yourself Lucas"
Nigel call out,

But never am I listening ...
I just want them to keep teasing me ....
...
I was doing leg racing  now,
Its becoming dark out ...but who cares...
My brain just kept wailing at the thought of that gal ...
The sound of her voice and that look on her face

Goshhhhhh it could well damage a weak heart... 
I would prefer to fled in terror rather than see some one as scary that woman again..but why can't I get her off my head

Nigel raced up to me and drag my arm so I could face him ...

"Hey man, stop behaving like a sixteen year old"

I pushed him the chest ...

"What is it, get the hell out of my sight"

He paced to the side and walk back to me with a frown on his face...

"You do not possibility think you could be loved by everyone right,"

"shut the f-ck up Nigel .... "

He smirked ...

"You are going crazy Lucas,"

"Yes I am.... okay " I shouted ...

I raced towards Elliot and grabbed the phone from him ....

"You know what !!!!
all we need to do is send the damn video online ,,, I want the whole world to make fun of me like my friends does mmmm...haha

"You can't do that Lucas" Elliot grabbed the phone from me but pity I already sent it online ..

He gasped out loud ...

"I can't believe this in just one minute, three hundreds comments "
Jack who was so eager to see grabbed his phone from elliot ...

I laughed at them ...while they all stare up at me at once ...

"That's what you want right, and you got it ",

I went back to my ball and continue ..

"ducking, pushing, kicking hard ,"

I felt a hand on me minutes later, I clenched my teeth in anger 

"Nigel, what is it "

I turn only to see my mum smiling broadly at me ...I was the one drowling now ...
When was it the last time this woman smile at me ....i think she is up to something,

"mum," i glanced around feeling relieved that my friends are gone 

"Hey pretty boy."

I signed and dropped the ball hard on the tiled floor ...

"Am not a boy mum, am a man"

"Oh you never thought about that, when you were getting angry like a twelve year old would,"

"you saw the video "

"Yeah of course 38 likes ....8.8k comments ..."

"people are meant to have one haters or the other Lucas okay "

That's them and not me,  I just can't stand the sight of someone hating me much less a gal .. 

I ignored her and changed the topic

"Its not even an hour yet, let me see"

I took the phone from her and glance through the comments 

"Sh*t , she's as ugly as a pumpkin, why would she say that to Lucas Tyson"

"Lucas she is a brat, you should have slapped her "

"She's just a pretence , she likes you , she just wouldn't admit ...."

"Common Lucas we love you more"

"She is a just a stupid  girl, i hate her"

"We hate her Lucas, we love you more"

"How did she even get the chance to see Lucas, I hate her, I wish to see you one on one Lucas, and you would know how much I love you"

"Come on what do you except she is a bitter lady"

The remaining pieces of anger cut in my throat when I stroll and stroll through the comments ....
There wasn't any one who supported her ...damn these people
Why would they  talked about her that way..
Goshhhh...I wanted them to make fun of me instead and not ruin curses on her..

"who the hell told them to ruin curses on her" 

I glanced back at my mum, who was smiling all along ...
I don't trust this woman, her smile was indeed a cunning one,
Whatever it is if she thinks am gonna fall for her warmness, she missed it 

i frowned and reached her phone back to her  

"Thought you would be happy at least the whole world supported you"

I ignored her and went ahead to the store...

"I've not forgiven you yet mum remember you called me a bastard " 

I entered into the dark store and arranged the balls back,
Feeling foolish and frustrated i hit my hands on the hard wall angrily...

Gosh, the image of that girl filled my head in technically colors... 
Emerald Blue,  shallow red, pale lilac golden yellow, violet blue.....

But have I met her somewhere apart from the athletic pool and today ,, 

Gosh heaven knows I was doing my best to ignore the shift feeling inside me,  this heat, this wariness, this uneasiness and anger... 

Nothing is going right today.. 

I walked out of the store after locking it... 
"I think the girl is cool " my mum laughed

I narrowed my eyes at her and... Without noticeable effect I turned on my heels and stalked away ...
Why do I have this feeling that she's up to something... 

I slammed  the door of my room closed ..
I couldn't remember ever feeling this exusted and frazzled

I hauled myself naked before making my way into the bathroom.. 

Its dark out already  ,, yet I remained socked in the tub ,, staring dully out to space like a kitten who just lost its mama 

Thought the shower would help,, but it didn't ...

I know i didn't have to feel so bloody dismissive about this ...

But that girl .. God
The most annoying part was i can't seem to get her off my head ..
I tapped my hands on my head repeatedly 

Not that she is that beautiful , but her uniqueness is driving me nut..

what am I suppose to do 
I swallowed a gasp as the flash back came , gosh no one has ever stand so brave at the sight of me ...more less say words like that ...

Gosh the stress of this evening was wearing me out.. I know that 

I stepped out of the tub and made my inside ...
I felt as if I had just made a narrow escape when I went into my room... 
Or has the shower been too cold,, 
Or why else could not I not cool down... 

Must it be all about that gal,,
A married gal with a son,,,  you are so impossible Lucas 

I grab my pants and pulled them on with a jerk ...
I end up wearing a casual wear before stalking my way downstairs 

nothing seems to go right at dinner ,,
I realise have been weaving my anger on the maids around me ,,
My whole system was disrupted ..

I sat in frustration as I stare up at my mum who kept humming with a grin on her face ...
Instantly I lost my appetite ...

"Get me a white wine " I shouted a maid who was staring at me as if she would swallow me up with that big mouth of hers ...

I stared sideways angrily only met my gaze with a fairer one who quickly shifted her glance 

"blushing ,, this tiny thing is indeed blushing,,  Gosh I can't believe this "

I stare up at my mum this time.....

Read " The fugitive " by the same author ( Op. Amina )

. I gapsed cause she was indeed grinning like a ware wolf , 

What the hell is wrong with this woman thought she would be all saddened now that her dearest husband is out on a business trip... 
There would be no one to keep her company... 
Cause surely I wouldn't be the one to..

I would  rather sleep all day than keep my mum company,,  gosh she's so annoying... 

"Lucas,,  I prepared your favourite"

"and what's that "

"a grilled steak and salad"

"Mmmm, glad you knew my favorite "

I opened the plate slowly and my stomach immediately churned at the sight of the steaks, ... 

,I ate it slowly and it was as if my brain was mending to airs,,, 
It was so delicious to the extent ... It felt so annoying on my big boy part but I found myself asking for more...."

Mum grinned louder... 

"mmmm, my son is appetizing tonight"

"who prepared it "

I glanced at a robust maid who shakily raised her hand... 

"I sire"

The frown on my face deepened and I couldn't help but stare at her as if she has a cow faeces plastered all over body .. .....If she's expecting a nice comments from a whole me,,  she missed it.. 

"where the hell is my white wine "
I saw the white wine in front me and immediately swallowed back the remaining words... 

I watched the broad smile on my mum face,,,and the realisation  came.... 

Is she really happy that finally someone could stand up to me.... 

Gosh I knew right from the onset that her smile isn't a genuine one... 

She annoys me really.... 

I shifted my chair backwards and stood up... 

"please excuse me I think I lost my appetite "

********

He hauled himself naked from the bed as he chok on the combination of s-x and sweat half tripping as the sheet tangles around his knees..... 
He turned and made a dash for the bathroom door the face that was seen was no other but Nigel's.  

Nigel pov.  

I stare at her sleeping form before making my way into the bathroom ,  she was surely beautiful... 
But why do I find myself using her as a bait...
I love her but yet I wanted to use her for my own greed.... 
I sank into the tub and pulled out a cigarette from the pack 

I just wish I weren't a jerk,,  I just wish this evil thought of hurting Lucas never came to my mind... 
Have always seen him as my little brother even before I found out he truly was... 
Feeling frustrated 
I sank down into the tub to feel more of the cold water... 
I sat back a little ashamed of myself ...
How I wish we never had this common bond... 
How I wish I never had this blood bond with Lucas and I hate the way it's turning me into this cold,  calculative and manipulative gold gold digger... 

Just that i hate the fact that dad had to hid my existence away from his family 

I turn on the cigrette and planted it between my lips , I lit it quickly so my shaky hands wont dropped the lighter...
Slowly I forced a stiff shoulder back against the tub... A little shaky,,  a lot afraid that I had just revealed a weakness  ...
Why happened to my restraints??? 
Thought have been able to take it in when I found out the truth at least it's been five years ... 
Why am all of a sudden behaving like a demon??? 

I shuddered as the flash back descended on me like an anvil

Flash back :
5years back 

I yanked open the drawal and pulled out the diary.... 
My mum eyed the book in ashtray 

"mum tell me , the content in this book is false "

She was blinking rapidly now unable to speak 
"mum unbelievable but you told me my dad was dead "

She ran up to her room while I angrily followed her from behind 

"am sorry you have to see that diary Nigel,, yes he is your father "

I felt blood covered my face, and started to feel irritated at her sight... 

"how can you keep this from me mum,,  Lucas is my best friend,, how would he feel if he finds out we are both sharing the same dad "

" that's why you can't let him finds out son "

"what!!!! "

She gave me a quick assessing look... 

"yes Nigel,,  Lucas mustn't know "

"unbelievable " I shouted at her.... 

"do you even know what you are talking about "
I sent my death stare to her but she kept mute 

"till when are you planning to keep this from me mum "

"till forever "
As if hearing her for the first time,,   I looked startled.... 

"did I just hear you say..... "

She cut in 

"yes you heard me right Nigel ,,,,
Mr Tyson and I only met on work basis ,, but we got caught up along long the line of lost ,, and we had s-x...   not that we have any commitment together... 
but at least now that you knew he is your father ,, 
I wouldn't want to ruin his family cause his wife has done a lot of good to me without even knowing I slept with her husband ,, 
Greg has taken responsibility of you ever since you were a kid , he never denied you ... he is giving all you want,,  that's enough for me "

Pained to the inside my tears fell before I was aware of it ...

"so Mr Tyson knew I was his son all along mum...that man knew I was his son.....how can you guys keep such a huge stuff away from me,,  why would you lie to me  "

She extended me a steaming glance

"Please if you don't want to loose your mum, be a good son...greg is a good man I wouldn't want your existence to tear his family apart "

"how can you be this impossible mum" I cried out in exasperation ..

"how can you keep me away from what's right fully my position,,  am the Tyson's first son,,  and not Lucas,,  "

"ah"

"I know greed would always come in the way Nigel,,, you just knew Tyson is your father and you are here talking about inheritance "

"isn't it the truth mum" I exclaimed facetiously 

" I love you better than this Nigel,,  and your father loves you more,,  he is ready to give you everything... But not what is rightfully Lucas "

I felt the blood in my system sways as they rushed faster 

"save me the break mum ,, I can't believe you are telling me right to my face that am a bastard ...of course you got married and have other kids ,, 

I was the bastard here who doesn't deserve to be shown some sympathy,,  how do want me to live with the fact that I was cast aside by both my dad and mum,,, how do you want me to live with that "

 tears twinkle down her face as she stare at me... 

"am sorry son,"

My hands were shaking now as I stare up at her... My tears fall as if it knows no bound,,  I was hurt and pain to the extent I could feel my heart pound in thuds ,,

Sniffing a breath ,,  I bolted out to the exit and lougue myself in the corner of my room while I cry my heart out... 

Life is just a b*tch, a dark paradise,, a thin dark line where no one....
Absolutely no one could see its string... Oh Gosh how much I hurt... 

Flash back ends.... 

I stare into space and quickly wipe up my tears when she emerge into the bathroom...all looking naked and beautiful... 

" Nigel what's wrong are you okay " 

I nodded and smile towards her direction... 

"yes baby "

I watch her as she moved seductively and sat beside the tub,,  she took the cigarette in between my fingers and drifted it to her mouth... 

"should I join you "
I rested my head back to the tub and stared up to the ceiling... 
...
"if you want to "

My mood wasnt all convenient again... 
I can't help but pondered with my thoughts  which is so acheing my heart  like hell 
When I felt her presence inside the tub I stare down at her as she held a happy glance towards me... 

"thanks for putting me through on how to get my revenge towards Lucas "
I frowned at her for a brief moment and nodded... 
Cause now am left with this unsettled decision,,  whether to go along with her plans and get what I want.. 
Or strangle her in the neck... Like 

"if you hurt my kid brother then you are so dead"

Oh God I just don't know what to do.... 

.....**
