Chapter Thirteen: Lucas

After a really weird morning, Ricardo went on about his day. He was about to make a call to one of his men who specializes in torture, for the commencement of their plan.

"Hello, is everything ready?" He asked in a serious tone. "Good. I will call you when I'm ready with the next orders" with that he cut the line with furrowed brows, deep in thought.

He readjusted his glasses with just a finger to prevent it from falling.

He took a deep lungful before heading back to the hospital to see how his mother is doing.

When he arrived, he saw her learning how to walk again with the physical therapist helping her on one hand then on the other hand was his father.

He wanted to be angry with him again, but seeing how happy his mother is, he decided that maybe it was time he fully forgave him, but one slip up then he is out of their lives for good.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to distract himself from the painful memories. His mind drifted back to earlier this morning, and he smiled after recalling what happened. He really wondered how their exams went and if he would ever see them again, but little did he know that they would be seeing a lot of each other.

"That was not so bad, right?" Angie asked Kira when she stepped out of here examination hall.

Kira just shrugged and said "I don't know Angie; it was okay I guess".

"Hey, what happened, didn't you write well?" she asked her really worried.

"It will be fine. What's the worst that can happen? I will just apply again next year"

"Don't say that Kira, you would get in definitely, okay?"

"Okay. What should we do now?"

"Well, I was thinking of going to visit my mom. It has been so long since I have seen her."

"Can I come, please? I have always wanted to meet your parents, Angie."

"I'm just going to see my mom, my dad is not always around" even he was, he won't be spending his time with us, it's not like I care anyway.

While the girls were discussing, they didn't know that they were being watched and their every move followed.

Apparently, the guy that Ricardo called was already making arrangements and waiting on his boss's order.

He brought out his phone to check to see if he got the right person, the height and the hair was right, all he needs now is for her to turn around to be sure she is the one that he was looking for.

As if on que, the girl turned and he saw her green eyes that was looking around as if she sensed that someone was staring at her but she couldn't tell where it was coming from. How can she? Lucas was a hitman and a master of disguise and torture.

He had no family, which made his work super easy and he tried not to have deep connections or attachments to people to avoid being blackmailed or threatened.

He has done a lot of bad things in his life but he doesn't regret anything, it was the cards that life gave him and he can either with them or sulk, but Lucas would rather die than sulk about his life.

His phone rang and his icy cold eyes picked it without looking at the caller id, his eyes never leaving the girls.

"Hello Boss"

"Yes, what about the other girl?"

"Understood"

After the called, he clenched his jaw then he left the place.

On his way out, he wondered what his life would have been like if he was …normal. He would be married with kids.

He could lie to himself all day that he was better off alone, but he wished that things were different. He was lonely and longed for the love he never had. But that life was far gone the moment he took his first life and became a gun for hire.

Lucas hurriedly left the school and entered his car and zoomed off.

Angela felt that the gaze on her go away, she felt a little bit safer now and she thought it was all in her head. She's just stressed, that's all.

"Kira, let's go. Hopefully my mom would be around and haven't gone for one of her tea parties with her friends"

"Sure, let me just get my stuff and we will be on our way" Kira replied.

The girls packed their things and headed straight to the bus terminal. They took the bus and went out of town, they were going to Angela's house which was located in the rich people's estate.

Everywhere was so neat and spoke volumes about rich and expensive. Most people who live here have so much money that they don't know what to do with it.

One of Lucas's boys followed them from a close distance waiting for the right time to strike.

Their plan was to follow them back to their apartment but the plan changed when they found out that they were going to their family house.

"Hello boss, there's a bit of a problem"

"What is the problem?" Lucas asked with a tired and bored tone.

"Ummm, the package is being sent elsewhere and not the normal delivery location " he spoke in codes to avoid being caught and even if they were, they would not be able to prove anything and linking it back to them.

"Where is it sent to?"

"They sent it to the old estate, I'm trying to track them down ". He replied.
