"I will not eat." Luke shouted as he throws all the food.
Luke's tantrum was already a routine in the Perez's mansion. Screaming, shouting, and throwing anything on the floor and on the wall. Destroying anything that annoys him became typical in the mansion over the years. He cursed and shouted anyone that makes even just a little mistakes and doesn't do what he says. He was a spoiled brat after all.
Luke or Lucas Ezequiel Perez is the youngest heir of Perez Group of Companies or PGC. His eldest sister, Monica is COO of their company and the board of director for Administration and Management while his elder brother Paul, is the board of director for Sales and Marketing. Together with their father, Benedict who is the CEO and the president of the board. Fame, wealth, power, beauty, business, everything is on the Perez's side. But even if they have everything, just like any kind of family—you couldn't have everything for no one's perfect after all. For the Perez's, it's the sickness of Luke. Luke is diagnosed with a heart failure. They have been doing everything with their power and wealth just to cure Luke's disease. But it seems like the only way to treat Luke's condition is a heart transplant. Well, given their social status they could afford it but fate must be joking at them because despite their capability to do so, it is medically dangerous to proceed with the operation since Luke is still young to undergo a heart transplant. The risk is too high to take. So what is advice by the doctors were just medication to ease the pain Luke feels in his chest portion. Thus, he has to stay in the house with all the precautions—with all the don'ts and do's. Living in the house all alone was like living in prison for Luke. The Perez's Mansions far from the city—far from the gossip of the people and far from his family. His parents together with his sister and brother doesn't live with him in the mansion because they were busy with the company, instead they just live in one of their houses near in the city. They also rarely visited Luke due to hectic schedule. And Luke was used to this for 12 years now.
Luke's condition is kept secret to the world because according to his family, this might cause chaos in their company—they cannot afford to take any risk. They have been protecting their reputation over the years. No single news or photo has been leaked regarding the condition of Luke. Everything and any one was being paid off.
Because of Luke's condition, he developed anxiety disorder and psychological imbalance which is not good for his health since he was advised not to feel any extreme emotions that could hurt his heart. That's why he was recommended to socialize with other people—to make friends. He make one—with his nanny—Nanny Lorna. Luke felt a motherly love from his nanny. He finally felt love and little by little, he knows how to share that love to others. Things became smooth in the mansion but didn't last for years.
One day, his nanny died because of breast cancer and since it was diagnosed late—stage 4. That incident has left a painful mark on Luke. He became worse than before. He never smiles nor laugh. He became lonely, easily angered and moody. It seems like the old Luke is back but version 2.0. He always want to be alone. Things became harder for him. He lost the most precious person in his life. He experienced the most painful moment anyone could ever imagine.
When not on his tantrum, he is seen at his favourite place in the house—"THE SECRET GARDEN"—the greenhouse garden on the rooftop. Well, it's not really that it's secret but because it's a place he feels at ease, relax and comfortable. It's like a secret hide out for him. The garden is really important for Luke because it is where they have a lot of memories with his nanny. When his nanny is still alive, they will do gardening together. They grow different plants—flowering plants. Luke was so happy before.
The garden is filled with different kinds of plants and flowers. Since it is located in the rooftop of the house, the plants get the right amount of sunlight and fresh water from the rain. Though it is roof with a greenhouse type of roof to prevent unwanted pests and insects to damage the plants but because it is modernized, it can be adjusted to every weather condition. Aside that is has a lot of plants and flowers, it also has a small tree house, a seesaw, a swing and a small playground where they usually play at morning and lays at night to see the stars.
There are a lot of rules in the mansion that is strictly implemented and one of those, is "No one is allowed to enter the garden without Luke's permission." Anyone who fails to follow was fired immediately.
The garden was so special for him that no one is allowed to enter except him and his nanny when it was still alive. But now, Luke was left all alone. He stares blankly on the roses as if he's mind is on something. Then he hears a rushing car.
