Lucas heard a knock on the door and opened it to see his younger brother's grinning face. His younger brother looked like him just younger as he was 18. His name was Matt
"Lucas I missed you big bro, step mom told me you were around and I decided to come over" Matt said while hugging his brother.
Lucas said "ugh leave me alone you eanna break my ribs or something" and pushed his brother away.
"Hehe, where have you been I missed soo much bro" Matt said
Lucas just nodded and went to the dining area where only his father was present. Matt was excused.
His father spoke seemingly to have calm down "Lucas, when I release you, you have to bring this your so called wife over to the family house, where you uncle, aunty, cousin and grandparents will present"
"Okay father, but when will you release me?" Lucas asked
His father replied "When my new project has been completed and I am putting you in charge, until then you shall not leave this house and that is final"
Lucas was annoyed, his father's new project was an hotel and was going to take 6 yrs for it to be completed but it had already started 2yrs ago so he will be here for 4 yrs.
*******
4 years later
*******
"Father it has already been 4 yrs and the project is completed can I go" Lucas said. His time in that house was hell. His brother kept bothering him while his father was always on his neck, he couldn't eat without being watched by someone and the worst part was that his step mom had travel so he was left in the clusters of his father's hand which was crazy. Now that she had returned he found hope that he will finally escape.
His father stared at him after going through that documents and he sighed "Yes whatever you can leave but don't forget to bring the girl, you have less than 6 months to show your face at your grandparents house. Fail to do this, you shall face my wrath"
Lucas nodded and dashed out before his father could change his mind. He knew it was thanks to his step mom that spoke sense into his father.
Lucas arrived home to find out that Mira wasn't there, so he drove over to her house to get just to see her annoyed face staring at.
