Lucas returned home with the intention of cooking something nice for his lady, after all he had made it hp to her and wanted to celebrate his one first victory.
'I'm sure she will like it for sure. How about Carbonara?'
Lucas was in his own reverie as he strode towards the exit where the guard stared at him keenly. Lucas lifted his chin up with a smug expression shrieking on his face that he really had some connection with the boss.
The guard just rolled his eyes and went inside his cabin without bothering himself with his shit. Lucas walked a few steps away from the building and an expensive vehicle awaited for the mighty business lord.
He didn't want to expose himself in front of her thus made sure with everything to keep his identity hidden. The man strode with a dignified gait towards the vehicle passing through the eyes of other pedestrians, Lucas snagged attention of other ladies effortlessly.
His ordinary clothes didn't help him to avoid the stares because the man himself smelled royalty from appearance. Lucas settled himself in the vehicle while the driver was supposed to take him to the Lancaster villa. Well, of course he was supposed to get off a block away from the villa to keep his identity hidden.
During the drive a car appeared around the junction and deliberately hit his vehicle. Lucas' car went flying across the street while the other fled from the scene immediately. The last thing he recalled was definitely Nathalie shouting his name in pleasure.
"Fuck you, Lucas!"
And his vision went blank with the excruciating pain fading away slowly.

Meanwhile on the other hand Nathalie had been struggling with her own emotions not knowing whether to give in and trust him or not. She was aware that Lucas had been attracted to her since the beginning but the lady felt that he was somewhat secretive too.
Although she didn't know or could track his activities, she had a vibe coming from him. The lady was back in her cabin with her whirlpool of thoughts going on in her messed up brain. Nathalie slumped in her chair and threw her head back to give it a thought again.
'So, he really likes me?'
She felt her heart beating faster at the recalling of the certain little stuff Lucas had done for her.
'Of course! He loves me, or why else he would have treated me like his wife.'
Nathalie concluded from the miscellaneous things he had done for her.
'But...will he stay with me if I want him?'
She was doubtful with the most crucial part which required their understanding and love.
After all, Nathalie was the one who strictly told him not to get clingy to her during the period of their marriage.
'But what if he is just leeching me off and being a pretentious bitch?'
Of course how could she forget that men had been approaching her lately to date and get to know because they were interested in her money.
Nathalie opened her laptop haphazardly after shaking her head but then slammed her head on the table. She couldn't decide what to believe and what was a white lie, thus the lady decided to test him by spending more time with Lucas.
And her day resumed with the usual stuff to deal with before she could finally go home.

"What!?"
The old man, grandpa Lancaster immediately shot up from his rocking chair after hearing the phone call.
"Are you certain?"
The book in his lap fell on the floor while the cup of tea spilled a little indicating that the old man really cared about the call.
"Wait, did you check properly doctor?"
He strode towards his bed with heavy footsteps since the call had unexpected news. The superior doctor of the hospital turned out to be the friend of the old man, who informed that a young man had his number on the emergency dial.
Thus, he immediately called him though the young man fainted soon after giving his phone. Grandpa Lancaster knew that the person the doctor was talking about was none other than Lucas.
He knew that he had to rush towards the hospital to tend him because he could not let his granddaughter become a widow. After all Lucas did not have money on him and the management would not properly tend him if no one visited him.
"Make sure the word doesn't get out about him. Do you understand no one….NO ONE should know about him."
The doctor assured that no one would know that the great Lucas Petrakis was admitted in the hospital.
No wonder the Petrakis heir was one of the most powerful people in the whole continent although no one had ever seen him.
What if the news spread like fire and Nathalie came to know about her husband's identity!?
Things will definitely not stay the same as they were. But hereby I ask you, who could be the person who hit his vehicle?
