Mrs Miller swayed to the sides and Sandra caught her.
"You bastard, I'm calling dad now. Just you wait and see", she supported her mom back to her room. Mrs Miller had gone silent and looked destabilized.
" Violet....", Sandra screamed like a maniac and pushed the attic door open to find Sandra smiling sheepishly while on a call.
"Can I call you back later? I want to settle some issues now"
"Go ahead but leave the call on, don't hang up. I want to know what kind of issue is going on".
She felt too sweet within and turned to face Sandra who had a terrible expression on her face. The smile on Violet's face could only be that of a woman in love, is she in love?
Ha! Who would want to be with a pauper with no decent dress sense? Wait! She couldn't have attracted a good man? It can only be these old, potbellied men with wives at home. She snickered mentally.
" Violet, don't you think you have overstepped your boundaries?"
"Why do you think so?"
"You raised your hands on my mother. Of course, how would an orphan like you know what a mother means to a child is
"I would prefer to be without one than to have a shameless one"
"You...."
"I.... stated the truth", she looked righteous.
Sandra hated that expression on her face, most especially the beautiful slanted beady eyes.
The eyelashes that fanned her face made her more gorgeous and Sandra clenched her fists.
She would let her be, her father would be arriving tomorrow by evening.
" My father, your uncle is arriving tomorrow evening. Dinner is on you, that you should know".
Violet's knees went weak, Uncle is arriving tomorrow? He should give her leads on some of her parent's properties and personal items, right?
"So Mr Miller is coming back tomorrow?"
Violet jolted back to reality and realized that she was still on a call.
"You are still there? But...."
"I never said I will hang up".
" Don't you think that place is too toxic for you?"
"I thought as much but I want to arrange for a load moving company to come and take my load tomorrow".
I know of a good moving company, can you let me handle this just this once?"
"Sure", she heaved a sigh of relief.
She didn't have a penny on her and the thought of moving was just a bluff.
" You should wash up and go to bed now, you gave a tough day ahead of you".
"You are on a flight, you are not supposed to be making calls".
" This is a special jet, honey". His hoarse voice sounded like a whisper. Lucas just wanted that effect and he was sure it was created.
She blushed and hid her face just then she remembered he can't see her.
A few minutes later, they hung up.
"Go to this estate...", he gave off the address. "Help my treasure move her belongings and be careful with them. S1tand on no ceremony with anyone who tries to stop you. Get the restaurant to send a new phone to her tomorrow morning", the subordinates gulped and trembled. Their president is becoming weird and his words were too mushy previously.
That woman that can keep Lucas under wraps is not simple.
Lucas continued to type away on his laptop, his business required constant communication hence his private jets have been made just to suit those conditions needed to aid his work. He had to juggle between typing and a conference call with the higher-ups of his company in Dubai.
After a 10hour meeting, his bloodshot eyes looked scary and had dark circles. The people on the other side were used to his methods of doing things so they could only bear with him.
He had a meeting that morning, immediately after he stepped out of the jet his phone chimed and a beautiful photo greeted his blue orbs.
The jetlagged boss was smiling until his eyes crinkled at the corners.
The subordinates who were waiting at the sides had their mouths hung wide open. They have never seen their boss smile. Lucas felt fervent stares from a certain direction, he gave them a casual glance and they immediately lowered their heads. We did not see anything, they knew how ruthless he can be to his men. He is dangerous, evil and ruthless but to Violet, he is the angel in human form. He wanted to retain that image before her.
Throwing his windbreaker over himself, he took long strides towards the car waiting for him.
He closed his eyes for some minutes before they snapped open.
" Boss the car...".
"I get it", Lucas simply told him to drive on. They knew that their boss was not a simple entity. Lucas glanced at the cars trying to form a barrier around them. He snorted and fixed the bullets in his gun. He aimed at their cars tyres and deflated them.
" Cheap cars", he sneered.
He ordered the cars to stop, he must get rid of the root of the problem before continuing on his journey.
His figure dashed out of the car swiftly and before one could realize what is happening dead bodies of the other party littered the ground. Bullet holes were designed on the cars but no scratch was found on him.
One of the men among the attackers who was badly injured and had ducked behind a car was communicating with the higher-ups who sent them. He loaded his gun while groaning, and took the opportunity as Lucas was heading to his car. A bullet hit him precisely on the wrist and he yelled. The next one hit his glabella and he went limp. Lucas did not even look back and his precision was 99.9%. The call was already connected and the other party kept saying hello.
One of Lucas' men picked up the phone for him.
"I started a scheming when you were in diapers. If you don't know the way, search for who to guide you. Don't play childish games with me next time. The name Luciano is not for fun ".
The phone was crushed by his subordinate.
His heaven-defying beautiful face was covered in frost. Lucas' previous happy mood has been soiled hence his men kept a safe distance from him.
His entrance into the mafia world at the age of seven broke records and his shooting precision-made other mafia bosses to be in awe of him. He takes on an Italian name Luciano in the mafia world hence no one can connect him to Lucas Arnold Jones or the president of Clayton's group of industries.
He entered his hotel suite and washed up. He checked the important mails and slept for a few hours as per Violet's instruction.
....Back in the Arnold's mansion
" Are you ready for school?" Stephanie doted on her son and fussed about him.
Kevin enjoyed the attention so much.
"Your chauffeur will take you to and fro school. Very soon, you should have a personal car after obtaining the necessary documents and here is the deed of an apartment for you", he passed a sealed brown envelope. Kevin gave an offside expression on seeing it.
" Yes, your dad and I decided to surprise you. You are an adult and you will need an apartment of yours very soon."
"Thanks", Kevin gave a curt reply which sounded insincere. The parents exchanged looks and Stephanie kept on squeezing Arnold's hand.
Kevin took his bag and left for school. Arnold Jones slumped in his seat. Did he make a mistake somewhere?
Stephanie was helpless however she won't allow Arnold to change his mind for a second.
" He is still a child and he has been away from us for some time now. He may have lost his manners, give him some time please".
"Some time you say? In a few years, I will retire from the CEO's position, what kind of impression will he create in the minds of those shareholders?"
"I will talk to him about this issue. I hope you won't change your mind...."
" About what?"
"The shares you transferred to him".
" It's still revocable. I can change my mind towards him".
"Don't please do that. It won't do well on the image of this family and besides he is your son".
Arnold grunted and left her. Stephanie stomped her feet in frustration, why is this old fool so difficult to control?
" Have you done what I told you to do?"
"I'm still planning towards that. What about what we discussed?
" Don't be shameless, we saw each other a few days ago".
"Which is not the same as today. Think about what you will lose if I let out what's not supposed to be heard and seen".
" Threatening me huh? Fine, just send me the details and venue".
"You are wiser than I thought".
Stephanie hung up and smashed the phone on the wall.
Kevin was introduced to students in grade 12 in business administration class. He paid no or less attention to the hot stares from girls in the class.
" This is Kevin Arnold Jones, the future CEO of Seamix entertainment", the principal looked at him with a fawning smile. He has high hopes for this one, unlike the other one who was abandoned by the family. He hoped that Kevin would put in a good word for him before the father. He needed to make a good impression before the management of the school during his tenure.
Kevin outrightly walked past him and went to the seat beside Sandra. She smiled smugly while the other girls were about to burst with envy.
The day was fast spent and each teacher that came into the class gave him a fawning smile and paid extra attention to him. He got sick of it and lost interest in the class. If not because of out shinning Lucas, he wouldn't have been here.
In the cafeteria, he got a special place courtesy of Sandra. He took a simple meal while Sandra kept urging him to try out the meals on her tray. He got irritated but kept a faint smile on his face. Playing according to the rules is his speciality.
Sandra was riled up by the jealous stares from the girls in other classes. She dragged him to all the fun places in the school. He had to come up with an excuse just to get away from her.
In Dubai, Lucas got to his company's headquarters one hour earlier than the schedule. He was directed to the large laboratory which had hi-tech security equipment. He went into his laboratory and the overall head scientist brought the prototype of the experimental results. The document containing the procedure for the entire laboratory process was passed to him and he simply skimmed through it.
Lucas went through it and noticed some errors in the calculation. They were behind schedule and he had to push forward the entire process.

He slammed the documents on the working island. He was furious, he had barely a month to showcase his newfound method of deriving biogas. Lucas got exasperated and proceeded to run the tests by himself.
He locked himself, in the laboratory from the morning will night and when he came out his assistant handed him his phone.
He saw missed calls from Violet, his mom and some others. He called Violet, the tiny yet soft voice on the other end gave him a soothing relief from pent-up stress.
She narrated how her day was, the challenges she faced and all of that...
Lucas never got tired of listening to her and she finally detected how tired he is.
"You have been so busy I guess?", Violet asked
" Yes I have"
Violet scolded him and told him to take proper care of herself and hung up.
He led wryly and then called the mom.
"What's happening? Where are you now?"
"What's the problem mom? I am in Dubai".
" Your father has beaten more than he can chew, are you aware of the fact that I own 20% out of the 30% shares he has given out? That suppose to have belonged to you. Don't tell me you don't need it?"
"Mom, I received information about that even before he did it. But the fact remains...."
"Which is?"
"Allow them to feel so relaxed before you strike".
" Lucas I will not be happy if I can't get justice from you".
"I will work on that when I get back home. My new company is launching a biogas project so I am working assiduously on that project".
"You have so much money than I can ever imagine, why still work yourself up with yet another company?"
"I want to be able to protect you and someone I will introduce to you when I return".
" You already formidable now. Wait! Do you want to introduce someone to me? A guy or lady?"
"A lady, her name Is Violet".
Avery cleared her throat, and couldn't help but squeal.
" Can I go meet her now although you are not in the country?"
"Mom?... You will scare her away and I don't want that".
Ok, whatever you say goes".
Lucas thing up a few minutes later.
He had to fly back to New York City right after the worldwide conference. His final exams will soon start and also needed to settle things at home.
.....At Arnold's mansion.
The father stopped at the doorway to Kevin's room and observed him for some now.
He looked so relaxed on his bed. Is this the person whose future the entire well-being of his company lies?
" How long has been since you saw your stepbrother Lucas?"
Kevin who was relaxing snickered and replied by shaking his head.
Hold on! Doesn't he have manners? Not even sparing him a glance?
The more he looked at Kevin and Lucas now, he kept seeing too much disparity amongst them.
Although Lucas is quiet, useless and had no care for his academics, he would never give him this attitude.
He turned on his heels and slammed the door shut. Kevin couldn't be bothered with him.
The thick ambiguous air in the room lingered as both adults were still wrapped in each other's embrace. The Tattooed man stood up and reached out for his cigarette. He took a puff and gently exhaled it through his nose. He took a double look at the woman who looked so indecent for her age and shook his head mentally.
He threw his glance across the table, taking another drag he looked at the documents and smiled revealing tobacco-stained teeth.
"Are you sure this is authentic?"
"Of course yes"
"Just do your job first and the deal is yours", the satisfied look on her face count be hidden. This is what the old fool couldn't give her.
" I trust your words", he shook away the ash and took another drag. "But, don't make me believe otherwise".
" Are you still keeping tabs on her pattern of movement? "
"I am doing my duty perfectly"
"When are you going to strike?"
"Raised his brows and looked at her swollen chest, his lips curled in a suggesting manner.
" That depends on your next performance"
She was not a kid, she knew exactly what he was talking about and couldn't hide the disgust on her face.
The man pretended not to see it and waited for her reply. She had no choice but to comply reluctantly and the man had his fill.
Her phone rang just immediately he let her off and she panicked on seeing the caller.
"I'm on my way back", her breathing sounded heavy and shaky.
What's wrong? Where is she?
" Okay, just drive carefully", he ended the call and the woman release the breath she held.
She dressed up and left the hotel room but not after dropping some bundles of money.
Violet had just woken up when one of the maids knocked on her door. She yawned and checked her time. she made a mental note of going on a shopping splurge with the card the restaurant gave her.
She opened the door and received information that a moving company is here to see her. Could it be that she is leaving? The maid wondered.
Violet went downstairs to see him while still maintaining a calm disposition. The subordinates were lost in her beauty, their boss has eyes for good things.
"I am so sorry to keep you waiting, just give me some time to clean up and get ready", she waved her hands sheepishly over her body.
A handful of Lucas's men coughed awkwardly.
Just then a delivery man arrived with her breakfast. Her greedy eyes shone and her wet tongue almost dangled in her mouth.
" Good morning Madam"
"My name is Violet".
Even in his death, he would never address her in that manner.
"Please let me address you as Madam", he lowered his eyes.
" Okay, I hope that doesn't affect my meals?"
The other subordinates felt like laughing but their job required a stern appearance.
She skipped happily into the house and bumped into Sandra.
The latter looked at the package in her hands.
Her three meals had always been delivered on time and daily. Who the heck is sponsoring her?
Violet hummed a tune and walked past her but the other grabbed her elbow and yanked her roughly.
"You don't have to rejoice yet, wait until he dumps your naive self", she said in a tone only they can hear.
" He has no intention of dumping me, he's the sweetest person I have ever known. Get yourself one and stop wallowing in bitterness and envy".
She pushed her away and walked away. Sandra's face turned green from envy and hatred. Just then she heard the hush voices of the maids.
"What exactly is going in here?"
"There is nothing Madam, we were just having fun"
"Having a fun-filled day? Get back to your duties", they scuttled out and she stopped the last person.
" What's going on here? Why the gloomy atmosphere?"
Lowering her eyes, she explained exactly what was going on.
Sandra's eyes widened in shock. That couldn't be.....
She can leave only to end up in a slum where she belongs. She is worth nothing.
The attic door opened, a fresh rosy face came into view and she skipped down the stairs. The ponytail swung with vigour.
Pulling the door handle, she yelled, "Guys, I'm through. You can come in now".
Her gaze clashed with Sandra's who has still not recovered from the humiliation she had just received.
Violet caught some traces of disagreement on Lucas's men's faces.
"What exactly is going on here?"
One of the men bowed, "Madam, the lady here asked us confidential questions and we abode by our work ethics. She has threatened to call the police department if we step into the house".
Turning to Sandra, " You sure are a drama queen. Leaving this hell hole has nothing to do with you and you know it"
"Of course, it has everything to do with me. It's my house we are talking about here", raised her eyebrows arrogantly.
" You sound ridiculous", Violet scoffed. "Have you ever lived in an attic before?"
"I......"
"You wouldn't dare. How can a socialite like you bear to do that?"
"Don't forget my trump card", she curled her lips in a meaningful manner.
Violet's complexion paled and she clenched her fast-turning white fist.
Sandra saw the needed result and smirked. Lucas's men couldn't hear what they were discussing but their fierce expressions gave them away. The leader cleared his throat.
Violet glared at Sandra before directing them to the attic and stood aside as her mind wandered to that night. What happened that night?
