Episode 27
"You know what! Am gonna find him myself no matter what it takes, just know that you're not my brother and I hate you all," she said and stormed out
"Sandra wait," Lucy called running after her
"Lucy, where are you going," Jason asked
"You are no longer my boss so I have the right to go anywhere I want," Lucy replied and went after Sandra who was still waiting for her
"I will follow you," she said
"Really," Sandra asked
"Yes, Lucas is my friend or should I say my boyfriend," Lucy added and Sandra smiled
Finally, someone cares about Lucas, she thought she would do it alone but finally, a kind soul decided to help
"Am coming too," Jason suddenly said, he realized his mistakes now
Lucas always looks out for everyone, if it wasn't for him they all would have truly been dead, how can he let jealousy control him like that
They are family and they should be in this together, but it seems like they abandon him just like he always says," Jason thought silently
"He's my brother and he needs me now," Jason added
Sandra was still trying to process it when someone else spoke up
"Me too, we are family right," Steve asked as he walked towards him too
"When did you get here," Sandra asked
"I followed you, I can't just leave you on your own, am sorry for all the things I said about Lucas. I wasn't thinking straight," Steve replied and Sandra hugged him
"Oh, Steve I so much love you, you're the best," she said and peak his cheeks, Steve tried not to blush. Cause it will expose him... If only she knew that he's not a robot
"Yeah, a family should always look out for each other," Jason said
"Thanks to you," Steve said
"For what?" Sandra asked
"For making us come to our senses," Steve replied
"As if you have sense," Jason teased and they laughed
"So where do we start," Jason asked
"Chelsea," both Sandra and Steve said at the same time
Just at the mention of Chelsea, Steve knew that his days had been numbered. He just prayed she didn't tell anyone about him, at least not now
He doesn't have many days left, he knew that once they meet her she will remind him of it, but he decided to find Lucas first before any other thing
"Who's Chelsea," Lucy asked
" someone that will help us locate him," Sandra said and they left

The brooks company*
Richard's secretary barged into Richard's office without knocking
"Have you lost it, can't you knock," Richard said almost in a yell
"Am sorry sir but you need to see this," his secretary said as she showed him the news
"Is that our goods," Richard asked not believing what he was seeing
why will someone attack his goods? Who will have such a connection to destroy his goods, of all the things the person could do why his business
What will his father think when he hears about this, Just a few days ago he was made the CEO and now he has lost millions already
He was still thinking of that one when he received another shocking news
"Sir you also need to see this," his secretary said
"Oh not now, I need to think. What will I tell my father when he hears about this," he muttered
"Sir it's really important, the ship from India has sunk," she said and Richard was forced to look at her
"What did you say," he asked trying to be sure he heard the right words
"Check for yourself," his secretary said and handed him the laptop
"Who did this? Who's behind this? Father is gonna kill me," he said as rest his head on his desk
He can't believe that he will lose billions in a twinkle of an eyes
He didn't know if he should cry or not, the amount of money he lost is beyond him, his fear is what His father will do
Why now, I just happened to get the company a few days ago, and now this," he thought
He was still lost in thought when a delivery guy knocked on his door
"It's open," he said calmly
The guy entered and delivered an envelope to him then turned to leave
"Special delivery," the guy said and left, Richard picked it up and opened it on
"HOW IS THE SURPRISE" was boldly written on it, he quickly picks his phone and calls Chelsea immediately
"I need to see you, you know the location," he said and ended the call
*
"What did you mean someone attacked your goods," Chelsea asked
"Haven't you seen the news, they attacked my goods and even sent me this," Richard replied and showed her the envelope
"You are the course of all this by starting a fight you can't finish," Chelsea said
"Chelsea, you need to help me, I need to find out about this person, if my father hears about this loss am sure he will kill me, please you need to help me," Richard said, Chelsea wondered if this was the same Richard that is always proud and rude
"There is nothing I can do, he asked me to deliver a message to you also saying that you should prepare for his arrival," Chelsea replied
"Wait, you know who did this," Richard asked
"Yes but don't think too much, he has influenced more than you," she replied
"You will still help me right," Richard asked
"I told you he has power, just see how he destroyed your goods overnight, I don't want to get involved with him," Chelsea replied
"Can you at least tell me his name," Richard asked
"You might have a heart attack," Chelsea replied
"Just tell me, if you can't help me please, I might be able to negotiate with him, so he could leave our goods," Richard pleaded
"Are you the one begging," Chelsea mocked him stylishly
"Common Chelsea, you know how my father is. Once he gets a clue about this he will surely blame me for the loss, I need to find this person to know why he's attacking my company," Richard said, Seeing how worried he is, she decided to tell him anyway.
"It Lucas," she replied
"What!!!" Richard said
"It's him," she said
"That f*cking son of a b*tch, how dare he," Richard ranted as he balled his fist
"Don't even think of sending me to spy on him," Chelsea speaks up
"Of course, you will do that, I need to take him down but it will be with your help," Richard said
"He's no longer the Lucas you use to know," Chelsea replied
"What's that supposed to mean," Richard asked
"He has power now, am afraid I can't harm him," Chelsea said
"No matter how powerful he is nothing is hard for you to handle, besides you're my friend and you need to help me... Wait did you just say you can't harm him? And why is that?" Richard asked looking at her suspiciously
She just sips from her drink slowly without saying anything
"Did you love him? " Richard suddenly asked and she choked on her drink instantly and started coughing
Richard watched her for some time and offered her a drink, he didn't understand why she was acting so stubborn now. The Chelsea he knows doesn't fear anyone no matter who the person is but she's acting like a chicken
"Gross, what was that? Never say that to me again," Chelsea said
"Then are you on his side?" Richard asked now forming with anger
"Look Richard you....."
"Answer me!" Richard yelled as he grabbed her hand tightly
"Am no body's enemy here, and I work for no one; am just following the rules, and as for fighting against Lucas with you. That's what I can't do," Chelsea replied boldly not getting intimidated by him
"When did you start caring about others? Chelsea I know don't give a damn about any sh*t, so why this?" Richard asked, she wriggle free from his hold and face him
"Never you yell at me again and the next time you touch me again it won't be funny," she said and left
"Then tell him that I am waiting, because he will pay for damaging my goods," Richard shouted
You're so dead Lucas if I get my hands on you, you don't know who you're dealing with," he mumbled. a call came on his phone immediately
"Young Master, you need to come to Mary hospital right now, master just fainted after seeing the news," the person said
"And what are you doing with my father's phone? wait... Did you just say my dad fainted," Richard asked rudely
"Yes Young master," the person replied and ended the call
"News," he muttered in fear and runs out
*
"Where's my father," he asked the hospital receptionist as he walked into the hospital
Two doctors rushed to him immediately they saw him
"Sir you need to calm down," one of them said
"Where the f*CK is my father and you are telling me to calm down," Richard yelled making the doctors flinch in fear
"He's still in shock, you can't see him now," another doctor said
