Billionaire, Let's Divorce!

Chapter 0094

He asked me about it and that was when I found out that I actually like jewelry design. Then he got me more books related to it.

Over the years, as we aged older, Lucas grew into an intelligent young man and I found myself seeing him as more than just a friend then I would unconsciously catch myself fussing over my looks. I looked forward to seeing him and spending time with him everyday.

By the time I turned sixteen, I was pretty sure I was in love with him and he was into me too - I just wasn't sure how much. At seventeen, Lucas and I shared our first kiss beneath the bookshelf that was filled with the books about jewelry design that he had got me over the years.

We were a happy little couple for a while until Lucas' health began to deteriorate. He was always losing consciousness and I got to see him less and less with each passing day.

Whenever he was rushed to the hospital, I would go to see him. The moment he regained consciousness and his gaze fell on me, he would smile and his first words would always be, "It's alright

I would always nod but I knew it wasn't alright. My heart hurt for him and I felt helpless because there was nothing I could do to help or take his pain away.

One day, he lost consciousness again and was rushed to the hospital for the umpteenth time that week. Lucas' caretakers stopped anyone from seeing him (his parents were late, I'd later discovered). No matter how much ! begged and cried, the security never allowed me to see him.

I went back to the orphanage, crying. The next day, I was told that someone was looking for me. It turned out to be one of his servants. With a grim smile, she handed me a miniscule box and said, "he left this." I had gone ballistic. "What do you mean he left this? Where's Lucas?!"

But she only smiled and left.

That night, I stayed up crying my go to Lucas and he will give me

I searched the box, hoping there was, atleast a note from Lucas telling me what happened or when he'd be back but there was nothing. Just like that my friend and love was gone.

I left the orphanage with the box. I didn't want to go straight to my parents. stil hoped that I would find Lucas and we would go together like we've joked many times.
