LOVELY KARMA

CHAPTER 11: JUDGEMENT

LUCAS' POV

Well I still couldn't believe that I did that with Vivian. I mean, I could get in a lot of trouble cuz of this, how could I be so careless. Anyways, what has been done is done, I did enjoy it anyways, but the fact still remains that we wouldn't do it again. I have to make sure no one knows about this. unless I'm done for.

I went to the garden to cool off my head, it's already late, just some minutes past midnight. Then one of the guards came in, tall and blonde with glassy eyes. "your attention is needed at the Court room" he said and turned wanted to leave. "why?" I asked. "I'm afraid it's not my place to answer that, whatever it is you want to know, you'll get your answer in the court room" he said and left.

Now why would I be summoned at this late hours to the court room. Am I in any sort of trouble?. or maybe someone might have told about Vivian and I, but there was no one....ughh, I should just go.

I walked up the stairs, the court room is up the third floor, I got there and opened the door and saw that they were good number of people here, ain't they supposed to have been home?. And then I saw Zack at the other end of the corner smirking at me, I also saw lady Margaret at the right hand side of her husband, she was holding a hand fan, and I didn't miss the smirk she also had on her stupid face. And then Sir. Edward, he sat down at the heart of the table, with eyes filled with fury and regret. And then it dawned on me that they were all mad at me and I might get punished for it.

"Lucas!!!" Sir Edward shouted, jolting me out of my trance. "Sir" I said with a bow. Sir Edward stood up from his seat and started coming towards me, My heart was beating twice as fast than usual. "Was it true what I've heard?" Sir Edward asked. "I don't know what you're talking about Sir" I said, then he furiously punched me, blood dripping from my nose, that was when I noticed my Mom around the corner, her eyes already teary.

"Lucas!!, Did you, or did you not molested my daughter?" he asked again, I didn't say anything, but I knew I had to answer him as to not make him more mad than he already is. "I'm sorry Sir, I shouldn't have....". "I trusted you Lucas." He said. cutting me off. "I had plans for you, you were more devoted to my business than my own son, and now.... you've tarnished all of that for your own selfish needs". "I can explain, it's not what it seems". I tried explaining to him, more like pleading to him, he signaled to the guards. they came to me with their rods and held my both hands.

"First thing after dawn,you and your mother will be thrown out of Hamilton's Tower" Sir Edward said, and everyone in the room gasped and started murmuring to themselves. "Till then, you'll be tortured and beaten up, and...." "Father!!!". Everyone turned to the direction of the voice,it was Vivian. I could see the tears and fears in her eyes, she was scared.

"Vivian,stay out of this, you've brought enough shame to my name" Sir Edward said. Vivian moved forward to her father and said. " Father, please if there's anything, it's not his fault, it's mine" "No need to defend him Vivian,he must be punished for his crimes, and....." "I was the one that made him do it,he has refused me a thousand times but I wouldn't listen, please father, I promise it won't happen again" " My word is final Vivian. Everyone dismiss." He said and left the room.

Vivian looked at me and I could see it in her eyes that she's regretting what we did. but I didn't, I cherished every single minute and seconds I spent with her there,it was worth fighting for. My mom was already crying her eyes out, she couldn't do anything about it. And then I gave Vivian one last look, before the guards took me away.

I was tortured, for hours, beaten up like a criminal, I was electrocuted with those electrifying rods, my face was really bruised, blood gushing from my mouth, my nose and my ears. I'll never forgive The Hamiltons for what they've done to me.

And when it was finally dawn,the guards opened my cell and dragged me out, My whole body was sore, my left eye was almost blacked out. They took me to the same courtroom where I was last night, Mr Edward was there, Mrs Margaret was also there, even Zack was present, I knew that they had everything to do with this.

"Listen, I wanted to pardon you today and let you off the hook but your offense keep taking turns" Sir Edward said, standing up from his seat and brought out a very expensive jewel from his pocket, I've seen Mrs Margaret wear it before, but I'm not sure why he is bringing it out. " And this, this was found in your room, My wife's necklace. what was it doing in your room?" sir Edward asked but I was as confused as anyone, how did it get in my room. "Sir, I don't know... it's... it's not mine" "Exactly, you stole it". "No I didn't, I've never been in her room before" I managed to defend myself. " But Zack said that he saw you coming out from my wife's room, The morning you were arrested" "What? No!! ...". "Enough, I've had enough of your betrayals, Simpson, throw them out of this mansion, somewhere they won't be able to crawl back. My decision is final."

With that,they dragged me out firstly, and went inside to get my mom, I looked up and saw her, through the window of her room, she was not present at the court room today, I was guessing that her father restricted her from coming. She looked back at me, with those mesmerizing eyes that was drenched in tears. minutes later,my mom showed up with the guards and drived us away, having one last look at the mansion,where I've spent my whole life in. But this is not the last of me they'll see, I'll get back at them, all of them. They'll pay for making mine and my mom's life this miserable. it's not over yet.
