Just as Lucius was about to ascend the grand staircase, his mother's voice pierced through the air, commanding attention and freezing him in his tracks.
"Lucius Anderson!" she called out, her voice carrying a chilling tone that sent shivers down the spines of all who heard it. The maids, their heads bowed in fear including Janette, the maids could feel their hair standing on end, hearts pounding in their chests.
Lucius clenched and unclenched his fists, a mix of frustration and anticipation evident on his face. He knew what was coming. His mother's rants about his recent actions, and his involvement in a low-class movie, are all because of his infatuation with that girl, Jasmine. That's what his mom and everyone other person in his damned family believes.
