Chapter XXIX
"I'm in the city, do you have time to spare, son?"
Lucas looked at his wristwatch. It's almost time to go home. "Of course, Dad. Tell me where you are."
"I'm in a restaurant near your office. I'm attending a Minister's meeting tonight so I won't hold you for long."
Lucas thought of Dana so he called Ace after talking to his father.
"I'm going out first to meet my dad. I need you to make sure Dana gets home safely tonight. File it as overtime."
"No need, Sir," Ace smiled. "Don't worry, I'll take care of Dana."
He dismissed him before his smile turns into a teasing one. Ace wasn't just an employee for Lucas. He was his most trusted friend. And only a few know that. For one, they don't go out together to drink but sometimes, they would sit down and share the gospel with each other.
Lucas left his office at once.
He did not want to make his father wait. Marcus does not come often to visit him. And even though he w

"What happened?" Lucas immediately asked her after sending the Leiths off."He's not the person I thought him to be," Danie answered.It was a lie. But it's also the truth because James was Justus but he was not the Justus that she hated.Danielle couldn't believe what she found out today. She did not need any further evidence to confirm that James was the man who raised her.She was just surprised that they were not blood-related. But if she would connect things, she was always being reminded then that she was the sole heiress of the Williams Group of Companies.It never occurred to her that the reason was that Justus was not a Williams at all."You know the consequences if you're lying to me, Dana," he looked at her intently."I know," she met his eyes.'I'm sorry, Lucas.

"Lucas and I are okay," Danielle was talking to Esther. The latter called her to ask how she was getting along with her brother."Are you sure? Dad said he did not get to see you and that Lucas seemed bothered by something," Esther answered."I was at work that time. But don't worry, I'm really fine. As for Lucas, he does act weird these past few days," she lay on her bed as she thought of Lucas' past actions."Really? How? This is the first time that a girl called Lucas weird," Lucas' sister was both curious and amused."No, I did not mean him. His actions are. You know Lucas, he hates me to bits.""And?""He doesn't seem to hate me as much now," Danie was thinking whether to tell Esther the changes in her relationship with Lucas or not."Really?! Why? How? I mean, Lucas likes you now?" Esther was so excited, she's screaming and giggling on the other side. "Everyone must know about this. I have to let Myrtle know! This is

"Good morning, Mr. Del Fierro!"Lucas was surprised when he was cheerfully greeted by Dana the moment he stepped out of the elevator to his office."How did you get here?" he could feel his nerves throbbing in his head. He did not wait for her because of the sudden anger that he felt earlier. But he asked Ace to come and fetch Dana. And now only to find out that she was already in the office."I- I walked. I'm sorry, It's just that I was not able to sleep last night," she explained with a bowed head."Wasn't I clear when I told you to never go out alone?" Lucas got even more annoyed. "What if there's somebody waiting for you outside the building?""But I got here safely, didn't I?" Dana answered in a low voice."Then thank God you're safe! But what if not? Can you return from the dead? This is going to be the last time that you would dare disobey me, Dana. Or else, just go and find another place to stay!" he walked past her towar

It seemed like she was lying in the middle of a field of wildflowers.She got up and wondered who was calling her a while ago. No one was there. She was alone. And as she looked, it was just an endless field around her.Where was she?"Hello?" her voice echoed. "Where am I?"Aside from her voice, she could not hear anything else."Danielle," called the familiar voice again.This time, she saw a beautiful woman appeared in front of her.

Someone entered the unit, cut off the rubber tubing that connects the tank to the stove, and left the regulator open. Because the cylinder was fairly new, the amount of leakage was enough to blow up the place at the littlest bit of spark.It was fortunate that her exposure to the harmful gas was short and she hadn't fully entered the unit when the explosion happened. And it was all thanks to Lucas who didn't think twice to pull her out even risking his own life.Meanwhile, James Leith called her when he learned of the incident."I was worried when I heard about what happened to the CEO. I immediately thought that it's got something to do with you. I'm glad that you're okay," James said."Lucas saved me," she answered. Her heart was st
