18 DESPICABLE
Maria was furious with her dad all the way to her home.
When they reach their home, she sends her children to sleep then walk to her room with her husband following behind her.
" How could dad treat me like this," Maria angrily sat on her bed.
She was his beloved daughter but he couldn't even bend the family rules for her.
She was the part of the family after all and it's his duty to fulfil her wishes and just because she is married, he wants to cut off all the ties and give all the fortune to her brother, it's not gonna happen.
And definitely not on her watch.
" Darling, don't be mad at your dad, after all, Eugene is the eldest son and as his son, Lucas will be the one to handle the family name Evans not George so quite right what father-in-law said so don't be mad at him," Timothy try to calm his wife.
However, it only fans her anger.
" It's true George isn't Evans but he is also their grandson so why couldn't he give him the equal opportunity huh, he is so biased," Maria was in a rage.
Maria seems to forget that her share of the property was already given to her and it was much more than she deserved to.
Timothy's family falls in an A grade family just below the 3 main families and it was all possible due to Marcus help cause before they were only B grades.
Because of the help of her father support and help the standing of Maria in the family is the highest but it seems that she was unsatisfied with her father arrangement and wants to be in the equal standing as her father.
" If only you were the eldest daughter then only would George have been the one to go to training, not Lucas," saying that Timothy sigh in contempt and sadness.
Timothy massages his wife's shoulder as he filled Maria's ears.
" If you were born first then we would be the one with prestige and power, not Eugene or Olivia, George and Joey's standing would have been much higher than Lucas or Luna, such a pity if only they weren't here," Timothy stated as he continues to massage his wife.
How could Maria not understand her husband's instigation nonetheless she definitely agreed with him.
She knows Timothy has always been ambitious and because of that, she loves him more.
If not for his talent and ambition she wouldn't have married him.
Timothy brought this family from the C grade family to B grade and she brought this B grade family to A now both of them will bring it to the top of A country social ladder.
" You know honey, you don't have to talk in a circle with me, you could have just said that you want my brother out of the way," Maria responded as she kissed her husband.
Timothy really loves how his wife understands him.
" I just didn't want to hurt you but now they disagree with your idea and humiliate, it's good to just eliminate them," Timothy caress maria's face with deep love in his eyes. It finally help Maria to calm herself down.
For Timothy, his wife and children are his everything, he doesn't like the things that made them unhappy and now Evans are one of them.
" Then just let my dear brother die with his beloved as for my dear niece and nephew, they would be our perfect puppet," Maria spoke with no remorse in her voice.
" Then it's decided, let's forget about them and focus on us, my darling," Timothy coaxed his wife then led her to lie in the bed and after that, you all could imagine if you want to know what happen.
Where villains are making plans to destroy his family happiness, Lucas was obliviously dreaming about his bright future with his family.
Lucas and his family spent their night in his grandparents home.
They couldn't bear to leave the disheartened elders alone so they decided to spend the night.
......
It was 5 am in the morning when Lucas was startled from his sleep.
His back was drenched from sweat, he was gasping for air in fear. Lucas couldn't remember what he saw in his dream but he was anxious and feeling restless.
It's something we all experience sometimes.
Sometimes we couldn't remember what we dream about but we feel agitated and anxious, Lucas was experiencing the same thing.
Lucas couldn't understand, however, he has a bad feeling about today's event.
Lucas was in a daze all morning and sometimes he fidgets, everyone in the dining room could notice, something is bothering him but Lucas just shrugged off and said he was nervous about leaving them.
They just let it off but they were doubtful of his answer.
After breakfast, they were ready to leave.
They will meet directly at the venue.
They boarded the car, nevertheless, Lucas couldn't brush off the feeling he has felt since morning instead it intensified.
They were halfway through the way when Lucas suddenly felt sick due to anxiousness.
" Mom, dad could we stop for a minute," Lucas ask trying to remain normal yet he looks so pale, his breathing ragged, it looks as he was having a panic attack that frightened Olivia and Eugene. Olivia made Eugene stop the car then she move to the back seat and gather Lucas in her arms to support and calm him down.
" Eugene, quickly take us to the hospital, son hang in there," Olivia urges her husband then coax her son as she caresses his head and back to calm him down.
Luna who was seated in her baby seat beside Lucas also patted her brother's head copying her mother in worry.
Eugene follows his wife's instructions and he quickly drives the car to the nearby clinic.
In hurry, Eugene even forgot to lock his car as he carry Lucas and run inside the clinic whereas Olivia followed behind with Luna in her arms.
What they didn't know was when they were busy looking for a doctor to check on Lucas, something big happen somewhere else.
