"Where are you, Lucas? I'm about to grow roots here. Are you still coming?" Esther's annoying voice filled the confined space of his car. "Don't you have a watch with you? Okay, let me tell you, it's fifteen minutes after four!"
"I'm sorry, my lady. Give this poor man another ten minutes, alright?" he chuckled as he pulled over in front of a flower shop to pick up his flowers.
"Come on, what do you need another ten minutes for, mister? Next time I'm not choosing to come with you. I should have gone with Myr and Levi!"
"I'm coming. Stop your big mouth, okay? Guys do not like over-talkative girls. You're not going to get yourself a boyfriend if you stay like that," he answered. There was a long pause on the other side of the line after that. "Did I hit home, sweetheart?" he teased.
"I hate you!" she hissed. "Ten minutes, Lucas. If you dare come later by a fraction of a second, you will allow me to punch you in the face!"

"A vacation sounds great," Ace said as he was discussing to him the reschedulings that he did. "I've told you time and again that you need a breather.""I know. Where's the best place to go?" Lucas asked while checking the recommendations sent by Drew."I'll take a look at that for you. In the meantime, I believe you have to call Olivia before she comes in the office and makes a scene.""What does she want this time?" he pressed his fingers between his brows.Olivia's becoming a headache lately. The brat keeps on bugging him about unreasonable things. The last time, she even made him posed as her boyfriend just to piss off her ex."I don't know. Just a heads up, she's celebrating her birthday next week.""Urgh, tell her I'm not available next week.""No, you tell her. She only listens to you. As if my words are not credible. And you know my patience is thin when it comes to her," Ace turned his back before he c

"How's Loukas?"Danielle asked Joseph the moment she entered her office.And she wasn't referring to a person. Loukas was her baby project. It's an island she bought and named Loukas.Actually, it's Loukas Island with a tagline that goes like 'the bringer of light in my life', which was pretty much the meaning of the name Lucas. Loukas is Lucas in Greek.Later on, she developed Loukas into an exclusive beach resort available only to the rich and famous and up to ten of their family members.Everything from the tiniest to the elaborate details was Danielle's idea and she was happy because James said that she did great. That if Lauro were still alive, he would be proud of her.Danielle was happy because she really wanted to impress James. She wanted him to be proud of the girl he raised.

"I think we need to cancel reservations at least one day before the event," James said as they were doing final touches to her birthday celebration next week."Can we do that? But the bookings were already confirmed," Danielle replied."We can offer them something for the inconvenience. Just like an extended stay if they would choose to rebook," as he said that, he messaged Joseph to bring him the list of the guests for next week. "Or a free cancellation fee."Danielle pondered about it for a while. "Ain't it going to ruin the reputation of the Island this early?""No, of course not. Matters like this can easily be resolved with just a little extra. Besides, we don't want to risk the safety of your guests.""I don't understand, Uncle. Aren't we catering to socialites only? Why would there be any threat? Besides, I believe that the security is enough," Danie express her thoughts."We opened it up to ten guests of each member, Danielle. I don'

"Come on! Ain't nobody gonna bring my bag for me?"Lucas looked back and laughed at Esther who was left beside the van with her huge luggage.“Oh, Lord, I have four brothers and not even one is a gentleman to carry his poor sister’s bag,” she continued complaining while looking up.He looked at his other siblings who pretended they did not hear Esther. Levi, of course, was already occupied by Myrtle. Elijah was on the phone and Ezekiel was wearing his headset. His gaze landed on their parents’ next. They were also looking at him but did not say anything but a smile was gracing their lips. They were telling him without saying anything that he takes care of their youngest family member.Lucas walked back towards his complaining sister and took her bag. “Why on earth did you bring so much with you?” he complained when he realized that her bag was heavy.&ld

Danielle was busy inside the admin office of Loukas Island when James arrived so she was not able to welcome him and Myrna.But James understood and told her not to think about it."How is the preparation going?" he asked while looking at Danie's anxious face."Everything is fine, Uncle. The other VIPs have already started arriving since yesterday. Oh, by the way, who took the flight with you today?"He did not answer as he was planning to talk to Lucas tonight first. He didn't think the man in Danielle's heart would already have a girlfriend.If that was the case, then he could not allow him to see Danielle. He would just hurt his precious niece.But James was still hopeful that Olivia was not Lucas' girlfriend. Based on his reaction, he believed that maybe the woman lied to him. When he was canceling Olivia Robert's booking, she asked about Lucas and told him that she was with him and just booked separately.It might have been his f
