Yes, us. I don't want to marry you," Luna stated, her gaze fixed on Lucas's face, devoid of expression. "So, you're going to marry the pianist then?" Lucas guessed, causing Luna to become more certain that the man in front of her was already aware of everything. "Of course. I love him, so I will marry him," Luna replied, observing Lucas's reaction carefully. "But this time, I need this marriage," Luna continued, dismissing Lucas's scoffing smile. "And?" Lucas asked. "We'll make a prenuptial agreement," Luna declared. "Do you think I'll agree?" Lucas responded dismissively. "You have to agree. Whether you like it or not, we're going to make a prenuptial agreement," Luna insisted, prompting a threatening smile from Lucas. "Luna Estrada, you're too confident. Do you think I'd agree to this marriage? I even declined it," Lucas replied, belittling her. "We're not going to make a prenuptial agreement because we're never going to get married," Lucas added, causing Luna to clench her fists as if she had been rejected by the man before her. How could Luna Estrada face rejection? She couldn't allow it to happen. "Hahahahah." Luna forced a laugh, attempting to make it sound mocking to Lucas, although at this moment, she wished she could throw her heel at Lucas's head. "Then why did your grandfather force my grandfather to persuade me to accept this marriage, huh?" Luna said with traces of laughter in her voice, emphasizing each word. "Are you serious?" Lucas asked, his face showing mockery. "Didn't you ask your grandfather who would marry you? Weren't you suspicious? Who knows, maybe your grandfather was referring to my own grandfather, trying to match us," Luna's inner thoughts raced, attempting to calm herself. "You're quite amusing, Mr. Alvarez. If it's not you who's going to marry me, then why did you come to that dinner event? Didn't you say those affectionate words to me, claiming that I was your future wife?" Luna retorted, not wanting to be outdone by Lucas. "Why did I come? Of course, to witness the performance of a couple who would part ways that night. Isn't that an enjoyable spectacle? I was afraid that if my grandfather attended himself, he wouldn't be able to bear seeing you both cry and hug each other. You know my grandfather is a soft-hearted person. Hence, I chose to replace him that night," Lucas's words provoked Luna even more. "Stop your nonsense," Luna snapped, causing Lucas to display a smug smile. Finally, Lucas managed to provoke Luna Estrada, who usually had difficulty controlling her emotions. Luna stood up from her seat, glaring at Lucas with escalating anger as he continued to smirk and taunt her.
Chapter 1 Adams win
Lucas Alvarez
He is one of the members of the Alvarez family and will be the sole heir to all the assets owned by the Alvarez family. Yes, and only he is entitled.
Adams Alvarez is a successful businessman who holds power in the fields of aviation, industry, hospitality, and also automotive, all of which dominate the European and American markets. It's no wonder his wealth will not deplete for up to ten generations. Unfortunately, out of his three children, only his youngest son is male, Martin Alvarez, who is the father of Lucas.
For Adams, only his male child has the right to inherit all his assets. If all three of his children were boys, Adams would have fairly divided all his assets. However, his two daughters had to accept their father's decision because it was a longstanding rule in the Alvarez family. The one who has the right to hold the Alvarez assets is the one who possesses the XY chromosome.
Therefore, as Adams grew tired of all the hustle and bustle of the business world, he began to transfer all his assets to Martin. But fate had other plans; Martin and his wife lost their lives in a tragic accident when Lucas was just ten years old and became an orphan. Adams, as the grandfather, was deeply concerned about young Lucas, who was left in a vulnerable state at such a young age. Since Lucas' parents passed away, Adams took on the role of both parents for Lucas, and from the age of eleven, he started teaching him everything about business.
Young Lucas got used to attending meetings that Adams participated in, and he was always by Adams' side during business trips, even directly leading their subordinates. Adams was truly dedicated to guiding and teaching Lucas, as he didn't want all the Alvarez assets to be squandered. He was extremely protective of Lucas. By the time Lucas turned seventeen, he had already started inheriting all the Alvarez assets, although they were still under Adams' supervision.
But now, at the age of 25, Lucas has taken full control, and Adams has truly let go, only offering his advice when Lucas seeks it, which is rare due to Lucas' disciplined and ambitious nature that Adams instilled in him from a young age. Lucas grew up to be an arrogant, ambitious, cold, and handsome heir to the throne.
So rarely does he ask for Adams' opinion, especially since he has taken control. For him, he believes he is capable of merely running all the Alvarez businesses. Lucas is known for being an intelligent and arrogant leader, and it's no surprise that all the Alvarez businesses have thrived under his leadership.
Seeing all these developments, Adams might be able to pass away peacefully without worrying about all the Alvarez assets in Lucas' hands. However, there's still one thing that bothers his mind, and it's quite unsettling.
"What's Grandfather thinking?"
Lucas asks as he watches Adams stirring his soup in front of him for the past twenty minutes.
"Nothing, just enjoy your dinner!" Adams replies, shrugging his shoulders. But Lucas knows very well when his grandfather is contemplating something.
"I left my important meeting that could generate hundreds of millions of dollars just to fulfill Grandpa's request for dinner, so just tell me what Grandpa is thinking so I don't regret leaving that meeting," said Lucas, who had set down his utensils and was staring at Adams with intimidation.
Adams also put down the spoon he had been holding just to stir his soup and returned the gaze of his beloved grandson.
"Lucas, you know you're my favorite grandchild," Adams said, and that couldn't be denied; he indeed was the most cherished grandchild, even though Adams had five other grandchildren. But Lucas was his top priority.
"You also know that I'm old and fragile, I might turn into dust soon," Adams said, making Lucas sigh in frustration at his grandfather's silly talk.
"Can we get to the point, Grandpa? I still have to catch up with my schedule," Lucas said somewhat irritably.
"Alright, alright, I just don't want you to be too shocked and end up dying before me. If I get straight to the point, if you die first, who's going to handle all of our businesses?"
"Come on, Grandpa, I won't die before finding someone to succeed me, as you've said."
"How are you going to find that someone?" Adams asked, putting on a serious expression.
"Of course, I'll have Lucas Junior eventually. How else?"
Bingo.
Adams smiled inwardly; he didn't have to directly reveal his intention. Just by baiting him a bit, Lucas would surely understand.
"Why don't you just create Lucas Junior as soon as possible?"
"That's because..." Lucas's words trailed off as he began to understand where his grandfather's conversation was heading.
"Don't say it, Grandpa. You're going to sulk again and ask me to bring a woman that I have to introduce to you."
"Oh no no no, not this time, it's not like that. I know some of the women you've introduced to me were random clubgoers you often meet, and I don't want that," Adams explained. In the past few months, he sometimes pressured Lucas to bring a girlfriend or a woman who might be a suitable wife, but his grandson was quite inept. Adams sometimes wondered why he had bestowed his handsome looks upon Lucas if he couldn't use them properly, such as finding a wife who could genuinely take care of him.
"It's because Grandpa always pressures me, and I have no other choice but to bring them," Lucas said casually.
"I do it because I'm concerned. At your age, you haven't truly been in a serious relationship with any woman. I didn't bestow those handsome looks just for you to use them as decoration, Lucas," Adams replied, causing Lucas to roll his eyes in annoyance. Yes, he admitted that his face was quite similar to Adams', both handsome, but come on, he's only 25 years old, Lucas thought.
He was still too young to commit to a bond like marriage. At least, he might consider such things when he's thirty or thirty-five. For now, he hadn't even considered finding a life partner.
"I still want to focus on our business. I want to develop some businesses we don't yet own."
"You can do all of that after you get married, and it won't hinder your ambitions," Adams interrupted quickly, knowing well Lucas' ambitious attitude, never satisfied with his current achievements.
"Grandpa..."
"I'll introduce you to one of my friend's granddaughters," Adams interrupted again, causing Lucas to sigh in exasperation.
"Ugh, it seems I was wrong to leave my meeting," mumbled Lucas while rubbing his face.
"I want to die peacefully, Lucas, so just fulfill your Grandpa's request if you care about me," Adams threatened, a tactic that would always work once he said it.
"Alright, alright, you win," Lucas surrendered, not wanting to argue any longer and delay his next meeting. This made Adams curl the corner of his lips.
"You've always been dependable, son. You won't regret this choice from this old man. She's a good, smart, and of course, beautiful woman. I wouldn't choose a subpar candidate for the heir of the Alvarez throne," Adams explained proudly.
"And one more thing, she's deserving of being by your side due to your equal status. Perhaps you'll thank your old Grandpa for bringing you two together someday," Adams continued, causing Lucas to raise his eyebrows.
"Well, who's the girl that Grandpa is praising so much and is worthy of being by my side in the future?"
"Her name is Luna Estrada."
