Chapter 28 A WAY OUT
LUCAS POV
Mom, “did you do it?” answer me mother did you do it? Of course, I did, she was not good enough for you, you need someone that is rich not that smelly girl with no root, she replies not even feeling guilty about what she did but I wondered why she had to involve me. “I don’t get it, if you wanted to send Arya away, you could have drugged her and made another guy lay with her, why me?” I wondered, “because I knew my daughter would call of the wedding with her fiancée, I didn’t want that to happen, I don’t understand what she sees in you, you’re a child for Christ sake,” bitch! I whispered to myself glaring at her.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“So, you both ruined my life, you because of your sister and you because you did not like the girl I choose to be with, you made my daughter and I to drift apart because you hated Arya?” she looked a little guilty when she thought it through. “Tell me mother, who did you want me to be with?” she smiled not even caring how I felt, “Vera” she answered getting excited, “Vera, the little demon?” grandpa asked Lucas, he nods, “you want your son to be with that daughter of a demon?” he asked my mother, “she is not a demon, she is sweet, caring, rich, a perfect girl for my son,” she says dreamily making me feel disgusted.
You want me to not just date but marry a girl who ruined my childhood? I threw daggers at her, already feeling Lucas’s pain, I knew all he went through because of that bitch, she nearly killed Becca and me, thinking I was dating Lucas, even though I told her I wasn’t gay, she never believed me, she said I was too close to Lucas that friends are not that close especially people like Lucas, she warned me to stay away from him which I refused because the issue was just so stupid, I made sure to avoided wherever she was in school, she let me be, I thought she forgotten about me, not until I got into an accident and found out my car was tampered with, I refused to believe she did not, not until going back then she whispered to me “I warned you” I felt shivers ran through my spine, I was so scared and stopped playing with Lucas when she was around.
“Lucas will never marry that little demon, not as long as I’m alive,” grandpa yelled out making her seat up. “What should we do with him sir” I finally noticed Lucas, security holding his arm, making sure he won’t escape. I do have a question for you Fernando, “why did you do this to Arya? She is your best friend, your family” he huffed, “what family? She is not a part of my family, I told her to go with my plans and hurt Lucas but she refused thinking I was joking about it, I even asked her out once, but she rejected me” ‘he is your fucking cousin dude’ like hell she is, we not related, my aunt found her body and nurtured her, when she woke up, she did not remember who she was, they took her in trying to replace her with the daughter they lost, how did that turn out, they are both dead because of that bitch. “All this because of jealousy and rejection?” then who are you working with, he smirked “I don’t know who the hell he is but just know that he plans to ruin you all, especially those two and he will stop at nothing to accomplish it, even if it takes him ten years to do it, he will wait and do it.”
He laughed while the securities dragged him out, “you think this is over, it just beginning, he will come for you, he will come for all of you” he yelled out. We watched as they pushed him out, everyone sighed. A bit relief, one problem solved. “What can we do now? The business is running down, we need a way forward, we need to do something fast” my father spoke for the first time, “I have a suggestion,” Lucas, mother spoke up, “speak up woman” grandpa yelled getting annoyed by her excitement that she refused to share with us.
“Since we are looking for someone that will help us, and we want someone that is rich right? We nod, well, I suggest Lucas marries Vera.” we grumbled, “that is your perfect idea Becca asked, didn’t you listen, that bitch tried to kill me, and me I murmured, we can’t accept her into the family, dad speak to your wife, my brother will not marry that witch, she will ruin us. “she’s changed, I promise you, she even agreed to merge her company and ours together if you agree to marry her, she also told me she will give you seventy percent of the company when you have a child with her once you’re married, just imagine, all our troubles would be over, she said, looking at her son to give her the go ahead. I shook my head, so did grandpa and Becca, even Derek shook his head saying no, Lucas sighed, “this is the only way, I accept” no! we screamed out, “my life will become a nightmare” Becca says. I will make sure I avoid going to Lucas house once everything is done, I refuse to step my foot in that house when that bitch is there. “I have to do these guys, I’ll need everyone’s help getting through this marriage, can I count on everyone here,” he asked, we all nodded. “What will happen to Isa? I don’t think anyone will replace Arya has her mother?” good, I don’t even want her calling that bitch mother” Becca says, “By the way, where is she?” he sighed “she moved to the boarding school last week, she told me never to visit her but you both are welcome to visit her”. No one said anything for a while, everyone was so quiet and it felt awkward not until we heard Becca murmuring.
“What will become of me, I refuse to leave in that house with that witch, and am not coming back home mom if that is what you are going to suggest, I refused to be mocked and looked down on by you, I refuse to be controlled, I don’t want to stay with grandpa, he’s home is too far, she walked back and forth” not knowing she was saying everything she thought out. I cleared my throat, Becca, “why don’t you move in with me?” Suggested, “I would love to but I promised myself the next man I be with, I’ll move in with him when he marries me.
Well, why don’t you both get married” grandpa suggested waiting for our reaction, what! We both yelled, he nods, “marry my granddaughter right now and she can move in with you” he answered, I looked at Becca, she was so excited on her grandfather’s idea, I do want to marry her, I just don’t know if she wanted to marry me, “what say you, do you want to marry me?” I ask her, she giggled and nodded, finally saying yes! Yes! Am getting married to the love of my life.
