Episode 12

"No this can't happen to me again, Lucas my son," Mr. Smith cried out loud as tears streamed down his cheeks, not Minding that Jason was there with him

As Jason Opened his mouth wide staring at him in bewilderment

"Call the ambulance," he shouted using his hand to dig a hole

*

The unconscious body of Lucas was rushed into the hospital, two doctors rushed to him but seeing that he didn't come with anyone they decide to take things slow

Jason pulled over in front of the hospital followed by Mr. Smith, seeing the two billionaires they start treatment immediately

Mr. Smith and Jason waited in the hallway, after some minutes the doctors came out, and Mr. Smith rushed to him immediately

*

Mr. Smith looked at the unconscious Lucas with tears

"I never knew you were alive boy, I thought you died, am sorry I couldn't protect you once, but I won't let any harm come to you again

Will you ever forgive me, you don't know how much I have missed every one of you. please wake up son, I can't lose you again," he muttered, as he robbed his hand slowly. Jason has already gone home cause it was midnight

Mr. Smith refused to go home, even when the doctors assured him that he's gonna be alright, but Mr. Smith being a stubborn old man refused to listen

Saying he wants to be the first person to see him when he wakes, and he won't leave him for anything again, it was actually his mistakes that make the enemy take over his family

*

*FLASHBACKS*

Mr. Smith walked around his house looking worried, yeah his always worried when his mind is not at rest

He doesn't know why his heart beating increases but whatever it is his sure to find out

He walked to the poolside and sat down, thinking of how he lost his lovely wife and two kids

His kid should have been three if not that one went missing the day they were born, they searched the whole city but couldn't find him

No one knows how it happened or what took him, he decided to protect the two boys left with all that he has but not until... That was interrupted by someone's voice

"What's this old man doing at the pool," Steve asked and chuckled

"When I was young no one had ever beaten me in a swimming competition," Mr. Smith boosted as he smiled

Steve picked up a shiny object and looked at it closely

"Wow, it's beautiful... A diamond bracelet, it must have fallen from Lucas," Steve said observing it closely

"Lemme have a look," Mr. Smith said as Steve handed him the bracelet

His face changed immediately when he saw the bracelet, It was actually their family bracelet that was molded the day Sandra was born

One of the boys suggested it so they will always remember the day she was born

To confirm his bleeding heart he slipped his hand beside it and it went open reviewing the five happy family

"My son, he's alive," Mr. Smith shouted in tears of joy, he couldn't believe it, after so many years

He was so close to him but couldn't notice it, Steve was stoned and shocked as well

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

The following day, Lucas wakes up to see Mr. Smith sleeping beside him, wait... How did I get here, what happened??" he asked looking at Mr. Smith who was now awake

"You don't remember?" He asked

"Remember what," Lucas asked wondering what he was talking about

" You don't remember falling into a hole last night?"

Lucas was quiet for some minutes, it came flashing into his head.. he remembered walking down the street then suddenly he fell into a hole

He remembered trying to grab a root but it ended up pulling out the plant that was covering the hole making the sand fall on him

And then that was it, he lost consciousness, that's it... That's how he ended up underground ready to die young..... If only he could get the a**hole that did this to him," he thought silently

"Remember something?" He asked

"Yeah, how did you guys find me," Lucas asked as he left the bed to put on his clothes

*

*

Richard called for a celebration, and finally, he was able to do what an assassin couldn't do. Isn't that great

"Am Richard the great," he shouted as he opened another wine

None of the maids/guards were allowed to work, his father came home to see his house empty. he looked around for the guards/maids but seems like they didn't come to work

It was then he noticed the music sound that was playing loudly in the mansion

*

Richard what's going on here," Mr brooks asked looking around his house which is now a mess

Some were drunk already while some were still fit

"Chillax Dad, the enemy is down," Richard said and giggled

"Which of the enemy?" Mr. Brooks asked already puzzled, could it be that he killed smith already....." he thought

"Dad, let's celebrate. I killed the most dangerous enemy, he was feared by many assassins but I sent him to where he belongs," he said as he gestured to his father to sit down and celebrate with him

Hearing that he was feared by many put a smile on Mr. Smith's face, he pet Richard's shoulder then took a glass and poured some wine into it

"Cheers to the enemy," Mr. Smith said

"Cheers, to a genius like me," Richard added and they laughed uncontrollably

*

*AT THE SMITH MANSION*

"You mean to tell me that you are my father; how is that even possible," Lucas asked, they were already at Mr. Smith's mansion it looked like he was about to faint

"Am sorry son, I couldn't save you once but I won't let that happen again," Mr. Smith said gently

"What are you talking about? Ok... Even if it is true, you left me in a f*cking burning house, and then what!!! I could have died," he shouted

"Lucas calm down," his father said behind him, he came with him

"No paps, don't f*cking tell me to calm down,... What's the proof that I am your son, Huh..... You got any proof or you are just saying things," he turned to Mr. Smith and said

"Did you remember this, I think it belongs to you," Mr. Smith said calmly showing him the diamond bracelet

"Give me that, that's mine... Where did you get it? Wait a sec. did you steal from me?" Lucas asked looking at Mr. Smith

"Lucas, I won't accept it if you call my father a thief, what's the need of stealing from you when we can afford hundreds of it," Sandra yelled already angry

"Sandy that's enough," Mr. Smith said, he slipped his hand across the bracelet and it went open making Lucas's eyes widen as he showed him the pic

"How did you do that, who are these people," he asked looking closely at the pic

"That's you, and that's your brother. This one is your baby sister Sandra, and this is me and your mother, your brother was the one who suggested we make a special bracelet, so it could always remind us of the birth of Sandra your sister, your name was Steve..... You and Sandra were always together, more like best friends, she grew fond of you that she can't do anything without you.. that is why after the incident she bought a robot and named him after you," Mr. Smith said almost in tears, he has been fighting the tears since

"Why then did you abandon me in a burning building, why can't I remember anything?" He asked sneered

"That's because I don't have a choice," Mr. Smith said

"Oh really,"

"Lucas, allow him to explain," Jason said gently

"What choice?... I could have died if not that a stupid boy saved me to make money, by trying to sell me to a foreigner, you were their paps!! I was almost gone if not that you saved me." Lucas cried out, he couldn't hold the tears anymore

"But you are alive now that's the most important thing," Steve said

"What did you know, I vow to kill my family if I finally meet them anyway... So there is no need, this meeting is over," Lucas said walking out of the house

"Lucas, think about the people that love you, it's not easy to lose a loved one," Jason said trying to get to him. Lucas turned and walked toward him in anger

"No one cares about me, except paps... have you ever wondered why I hate Richard so much... Well it's because that animal tried selling me to a foreigner, did you think it was funny? Huh, Waking up to see yourself in a burning house and next you were black folded and taken away, the next thing you know was to see people making the exchange of money on your name, did you think it was easy to Live the life of an orphan?" He said with bitterness already burning with rage, he turned to Mr. Smith

"Go find your son, am not him," he added then took the bracelet from him before walking out
