Lucian's POV-
I ran as fast as I could.
Shit! I can't breathe.
I stopped at the corner of the corridor. Aria! How did she recognize me?
Even Jayden was not able to recognize me at first.
This all started after I asked Theo to find my father's location.
And he did found it out...
FLASHBACK-
I came out after taking the shower, I changed and went downstairs.
Suddenly...
Stella came running.
"What's wrong?", I asked, helping her to stand properly.
"Your classmates and Sophie are trying to connect to you. I brought you a new phone, so use this from now. I have to go, I will be late. See you!", she said trying to catch her breath, and then ran out.
I turned towards one of my butlers, "Destroy this phone, I don't need a new one. They are my friends, not monsters." I said and threw the phone on the ground.
I walked towards the garden. The hedges looked beautiful.
Greece is a mesmerizing place and this castle is a chef's kiss.
The interior, exterior, cravings all are beautiful but the history, is filled with revenge and betrayals, the hunger of inheritance and a false love.
[beep, beep, beep] My phone buzzed.
I looked at the lock screen. 4 messages from Theo?
I opened the message...
From: Theo
Message: 1. Sir, the location you sent us, was correct.
2. Your father is currently in, Scotland, Fort Williams... The Lochvalen Villa.
3. His business seems legal but somewhere he is involved in illegal trading and manufacturing.
4. He is living a luxurious life with no worries.
To: Theo
Message: '90 thousand pounds' transferred successfully.
I slid my pone back into the pocket.
Living a luxurious life, without any worries, hmm! Be ready, Mr. Lysander, your blood is coming soon to destroy you.
My phone started to ring...
[Adrian calling] I immediately pushed it back into the pocket.
The call ended too early and then my phone buzzed...
3 messages from...
Adrian!
I clicked on it instantly.
From: Adrian
Message: Bro, it's serious. The situation is going to get worse.
I was outside the school when Kade, threatened me. He's not going to stop and his revenge will not just be a revenge.
Please call me, when you are willing to be serious about this.
I switched off my phone.
My fists clenched, Kade!!!
I rushed towards Stella's room, she was sitting near the balcony.
"Prepare the plane, I am going back to London." I ordered.
"Seriously, are you out of your mind. We still have many..."
" NOWWWW!!!!", I cut her off in the middle.
"O-ok-okay", she stammered.
I packed up.
The flight was ready in the evening.
I went straight to the airport, it didn't took much verifications because I owned the plane.
I saw someone near the plane, Mr. Stephen.
"Are you sure? You stay and I'll handle the disputes, no need to worry! You can still change your decision." He spoke.
"Of course, I want to go. I have my own reasons. You are my manager and also elder than me, hence, I respect you but... if you cross the boundary... My friends and school life are not same as my disrupted family line so... STAY AWAY from them. No need to drag it in this mess my ancestors created." I said holding back my anger and rage.
The plane took off in no time. The flight lasted for 4 hours.
"Sir, we've landed.", the flight attendant said.
"Thanks for the service." I forced a smile.
I took a taxi and went straight to the mall, I entered the clothes shop...
I picked up a black coat, a black pant, a black tie, a white shirt along with a black mask.
"Bill please." I said placing the clothes on the counter.
The cashier summed it up, "230 pounds", he said.
I placed 300 pounds, I didn't have time to collect the rest. " Tip." I said, rushing outside.
I went to the guesthouse, changed up.
I took my car and drove to the school, soon I saw the board - St. Oxford International Academy.
I parked the car at a distance. I entered through the main gate.
Suddenly...
"I.D., child.", the guard demanded.
I pulled down my mask. "Mr, Valle, long time no see?" he said.
"Don't tell anyone that, I am here or face the consequences", I ordered.
I moved towards the abandoned corridor, no one uses it. So, it's safe.
I pulled out my phone, and called Adrian, it was break time, he might be free so he picked up early.
Adrian spoke non-stop about Kade and section A. This guy!
Suddenly... he shouted [Who's there?] .
"What's wrong?" I asked in a deep voice.
[Nothing , a cat was playing around.] He replied.
But then I turned around... Leaned on the railing of the corridor and to my surprise, Adrian was just to the opposite side.
Shit! I crouched and slowly left the corridor.
I was bored by his talks so I asked, " Any other problem? or should I hang up?"
But before he could reply I hung up.
My blood was boiling, Kade! Just wait for me.
I moved out and bumped onto Jayden.
Shit! What is he doing here!
Luckily, I realized, I was wearing a mask.
"Are you blind?" He shouted.
And moved away.
But where is he going? Probably bunking another class!
I followed him.
Suddenly he stopped..."That guy was... familiar! Lucian!!!!!!" He shouted.
But before I could find a hiding spot he turned around.
Gotcha!!!
He rushed towards me.
"Why did you leave us?" He asked me. I pulled down my mask.
"I never left anyone. I just have my own reasons." I said boldly.
"Why are you here? Bunking another class huh! " I asked pulling his collar.
"Ye-yes" he stammered.
"Just tell me how is Sophie?" I asked pushing him back.
"See yourself." he said handing me the phone.
I could see, this guy had access to security camera in the music room seriously! Must have hacked!
I didn't see anyone but...
"Aria, she is very supportive. She is even helping Leo." Jayden said.
Then suddenly, Adrian came, I couldn't hear them but as soon as he offered his hand in front of Aria, I knew, what's wrong in his mind.
"Go and cut the electricity of the whole building." I ordered Jayden.
He ran out towards the powerhouse. He took his phone along so I didn't know what was happening there.
But I messaged him...
To: Jayden
Message: If Adrian gets close to Aria in this dance competition, do whatever you can to separate him. And go back know keep an eye on them.
Suddenly... Ms. Fiona appeared. I put on my mask and went out.
I used the opportunity to move to the rooftop because the music room was quite close and I had to be quite careful.
Suddenly, the lights shone bright.
After 2 minutes, I saw Jayden rushing towards the powerhouse again. But why?
The lights went off. I started moving again.
But I bumped onto someone...
Aria!
As soon as I saw her, my body became hot. I started sweating. Why?
It's been so long. She has become more beautiful.
I bent down, picked up her phone.
"Sorry Ms.", I said and adjusted my coat.
The lights shone bright again.
I moved forward... "Lucian!" she shouted form the back.
Shit!
End of the flashback.
Thanks to Jayden.
He caught her.
But...
What if she asks him about me and he answers... noooooo!!!!!!
