Episodes 13

Lucas's father walked into the house to see him pouring out his anger on the walls

His hands were bleeding but he didn't care, to him that's the best way to calm down, his father walked slowly towards him and tapped his shoulder

"Lucas, I understand that feeling, sometimes things don't go the way we want it but you have to accept the fact," he said calmly, looking at his wounded fist

"I can't live with them paps, he abandoned me.... he left me in a burning building, what was he think when he did that," Lucas shouted angrily

"He didn't have a choice, besides you're alive, so what's the need of All this," he said and tried touching him but Lucas moved backward

"Why do you support them?... am your son paps, you should support me not them," Lucas yelled, he can't believe his father will choose someone else over him

"That's what I am doing, have you ever wondered why I haven't shown you to the world!!! Have you?" he asked looking at Lucas,

"I dunno, but that doesn't concern this matter anyway," Lucas replied, he doesn't even understand why his father did that, but him being Lucas he didn't care

"Of course it does, I did that because I want the best for you Lucas, I don't want you to be into drugs like me, I know you have always wished to have a family. Even though I showed you so much love...you still need to feel the love of your family, I don't want you to keep staying in the street," he said, he has always done everything to make him happy but this dummy is being stubborn

"No matter what you say paps, I will never take them as my family, just keep that In mind cause I will never leave you... You are my family.... this conversation is over," Lucas said as he made to walk out

"Lucas!!!" His father yelled You dare not walk out on me, show some respect... Am your father," he added trying hard not to get pissed off already

"Now listen to me, am your father and you do as I say..... go back there and apologize to Smith,... Did you think a father will abandon his family? Did you even know what he went through all these years? Why can't you think like Lucas, think" he yelled burning with rage

"You have always claimed to love me but now it is obvious you don't give sh*t about me," Lucas said but didn't aspect what his father did next

"Paps," Lucas called shocked holding his burning cheeks that had already turned red cause of the slap, he didn't believe that his father would slap him. Like he has never done that before

"You are a disappointment, I didn't raise you to be like this... Now listen to me cause I won't say it again, you are going back there and you must accept them as your family; it's an order," he said and walked away

Lucas was stunned, he has never seen his father act like this towards him, are I doing the right thing," he thought

"Father was right, I think am being stupid," he muttered and run out going to meet his father

BROOKS HIDEOUT*

Richard was tied to a chair, his face is already covered with blood, they has beaten the daylight out of him

"Unfold him," someone said... He recognized that voice immediately, even in his sleep he will still recognize the voice

"Father," he called weakly

"Son, how have you been," Mr. Brooks asked with a straight face

wait, is he blind? can't he see what these people have done to his face, and what is he doing here," he thought looking at his father suspiciously

"Father, help me out, they are gonna kill me," he said

"Son, Don't be a weakling, always learn to fight back even at the point of death... This is what you get when you disobey me, your second offense is making me celebrate over nothing, but I will give you another chance to prove yourself," Mr. Brooks said as he signals his men to untie

"Am sorry father, I didn't know he survived," Richard said

"Take this," Mr. Brooks asked showing him an invitation card, Mr. Smith wants to throw a big welcome party for Lucas

"Wait... How come, but I... He didn't finish his statement because Mr. Brooks stopped him

"That ceremony must not hold, don't act stupid again, if not I will kill you myself," Mr. Brooks said and walked away Richard followed immediately

TWO WEEKS LATER

THE SMITH MANSION*

"Here eating something, you have been here since morning without eating anything," Mrs. Sophia said as she placed a tray of food on the table, Lucas just looked at it and concentrated on his laptop

"You don't want food, I will get you orange juice," she said and left within some minutes she was already back with the juice.. here have this," she said and placed it on the table, Lucas still didn't look at her

"Ok I will get you some fruits," she said and made to leave but Lucas called her back

"Mrs. Sophia, am not hungry, but I will eat once am done," Lucas said calmly, even knowing that Mrs. Sophia won't stop until he eats something... She has been like a mother to him ever since he came here, and he can't stop loving the way she made him feel, so special

"No Lucas, you have to eat something now that am here," she said looking at him with those pretty eyes, even at her old age she's still pretty

"Don't be a stubborn girlfriend, Mrs. Sophia, I said I will eat but not now," Lucas replied stroking her hand gently but she pulled away from him

"Stop trying to seduce me get yourself a girlfriend, have never seen you with one, so before your welcoming party makes sure you get a girlfriend," she said, making him giggle..... wait has this woman been spying on me...

"I have one already," Lucas said but she looked at him suspiciously

"Is she pretty, when will you bring her home," she replied

"Well her name is Mrs. Sophia, and she lives in the house. She is talking to me right now," he joked, seeing the expression on her face he bursts into laughter, Mrs. Sophia frowns and hits the cup on his head

"Ouch, are you trying to wound your boyfriend," he said and winked at her

Mr. Smith watched them from a distance and smiled, before walking toward them

"Mrs. Sophia, my boy is handsome don't you think?" Mr. Smith asked as he approached them

"My girlfriend is trying to run from me," he said teasing

"I said you should get a girlfriend, I never said it should be me, I am too old for all this," Mrs. Sophia said, this boy is something else. She thought

"Sorry to interrupt, Lucas my boss seeks your presence," lucy said from behind

"Take care of my girlfriend old man, I will be right back," Lucas said

"He's down there sir," Lucy said

"Here she comes again, do I look like an old man that you will address me as sir, is f*cking Lucas, that's the name l...u...c...a...s...," Lucas said spelling the word. what's the need for all the sir, boss, stuff huh; can't they just see that he's too young for that

"Anyway, since Mrs. Sophia doesn't want to be my girlfriend, you will now be my girlfriend right," Lucas asked seeing the look on her face he burst into laughter

*EVENING* Hotels

"Lucy what are you doing here, wait... Are you crying?" Lucas asked as he walked towards Lucy who looks like she has been crying

"It hurts Lucas, why can't things work well for me," she sobbed not being able to keep calm anymore

"Hey, don't create a scene here... You can always talk to me," Lucas replied softly

"Have had 12 dates since this week and none of them seem to show up after choosing the location and everything, am I that ugly, why can't I have a boyfriend of my own," she said now hugging Lucas tight and sobbing on his shoulder

"How about we get a drink, you will feel better alright," Lucas said as they went to the poolside

"I don't drink," Lucy replied

"Just a little"

"Am always crazy whenever I drink, so no" Lucy replied

"Just a little, am here you don't need to worry about anything," Lucas assured her

*

She was already drinking, just two cups that she took, she's really not the drinking type," Lucas mumbled

His phone buzzed and he checked it to see a message, oh no. Why now..... He looked at Lucy and then at his phone

"Hey, see this lady she is drunk, don't take your eyes off her I will be back in 20 minutes, if I come back and didn't see her, you are dead," Lucas said to a security man

"Did you get that," he added and look at Lucy one more time before walking out

*

Why is it so hot, and why is the water calling my name, oh, my date is in the pool: am coming baby," drunk Lucy shouted and removed her top and singlet, she's now left in her br* before jumping into the water

Who wants to go home with me tonight, she asked leaking her lips seductively

The boys around looked at each other and smiled, how about we do something more fun," one of the boys said to grab her a** making the others smirk evilly

"What is that on my a**?" She asked trying to touch it but the other guys hold her hands

"It's something you are gonna like," another one added and grabbed her b**bs
