ROYAL HOSPITAL

"We certainly need to darling but that's not now. Our daughter first." Mr. Santiago replies and starts the car but his brows rise when he raises his face and sees Lucien standing in front of the car. "Get out of the way asshole!" He yells and whines down his front vent glass.

"I'm not leaving here until you open the back door for me to enter Mr. Santiago!" Lucien yells back and still stands where he is.

"Go on baby. Run him through. After all, he's of no use to us."

Mr. Santiago shakes his head at his wife's words and trips off the car. "We need to take Juliet to the hospital, Lucien! Get the fuck out of the way!"

Lucien chuckles and shakes his head. "It will be so bad of me if I don't join you guys so that I can know how she's faring Mr. Santiago."

Just as Lucien finishes talking Brooks walks into the scene having a scowl on his face.

He glances at Lucien, clenches his fist, and scurries to him. "Why the hell did you disrupt my wedding!" He growls, pushes him on the chest, and grips the collar of his top so tightly.

"Your wedding you say?" Lucien says and laughs. He pushes Brook's hand off his collar and covers the remaining space between them. "Do they know that you don't love their daughter?" He whispers and takes a peek at Mr. Santiago and his wife before staring back at him. "Do they know that you are just marrying her to satisfy your evil heart desires? Tell me, Brooks Miller. Do they?"

Brook's eyes widen and his jaw slacks. "How..."

"Save your words for next time Brooks and also do well to stay off my part." He mutters interrupting him and strolls back to where he initially was.

Brooks without saying a word strolls to his car, enters, and zooms off without even casting a glance at Mr. Santiago and his wife and that makes their faces stretch into a deep frown.

"What did you say to my in-law!" Mrs. Avery howls and ruffles her hair.

"What he should know. Now, can I enter?" Lucien retorts in all smiles and strolls to the back door waiting for them to open it.

"Thank you for getting out of the way asshole. You can board a cab and come if you want to." Mr. Santiago mutters and starts the car. "That's if a wretched failure like you has any money anyway." He adds and both he and his wife laughs mockingly at him.

Lucien joins them in laughing and searches his front pockets after and just like Mr. Santiago said there was nothing in both pockets. "I don't have. I used my last to eat. Can you guys help?" He asks and lowers his head.

"I'm not surprised. A failure then, a failure now, a failure forever" Mrs. Avery says and snickers. "Go beg for money sod. You are in no way better than the beggars on the streets" she adds and spits out.

"You heard my darling wife. Go do as she said" Mr. Santiago mutters and zooms off but suddenly stops. "Take this and better your life!" He throws a bunch of dollars at Lucien and zooms off not stopping this time around.

Lucien's lips stretch into a radiating smile and he strolls to where the money fell. He bends and picks it up, counts it, and shakes his head before walking out.

Just as he gets out of the cathedral his phone starts ringing and he brings it out. His face lights up at the caller and he clicks receive.

"Morning Sir" the deep voice from the other end sounds.

"Morning buddy. How are you? How's work? And how's everyone?"

"All fine Sir. I called to know if you need me over there."

"Nah, I'm fine buddy. Don't worry."

"But Sir..."

"I just told you that I'm fine Declan and you know how I hate it when my words are argued. I'll call you if I need you. Ok?"

"Ok, Sir. I'm just being concerned about you Sir. I'm sorry if I just made you angry."

"I can take care of myself. And you didn't make me angry. Go back to your duty now. Bye."

"Bye Sir" Declan replies, and the call drops.

He drops the phone back into his right front pocket and keeps walking till he gets to an isolated road. Staring around as if looking for something or perhaps someone he catches a glimpse of a boy by the other side of the road who was looking so tattered and waves at him to come.

The little boy who must be about four or five years old rushes to him and bows slightly at him. "Good Morning Sir" he greets while fiddling with his fingers.

"Good Morning young boy. Take this money and get things for yourself." He stretches the whole dollars Mr. Santiago threw at him to the little boy and smiles up at him.

The little boy's eyes widen and he places his hands over his mouth without doing anything.

"Take it, boy. I don't need it" he coos and the little boy quickly takes it from him.

"Thank you so much, Sir! Thank you! Yeeh!" He exclaims and runs out giggling all the way out.

"He sure needed it" Lucien mumbles in between breaths and walks out to where he will board a cab.

Sighting one he waves at it and just as the cab stops he recalls that he doesn't know the address of the hospital he is heading to. "Please I need to make a call" he directs at the driver and brings out his phone.

He clicks on the call tab, goes to recent and dials the first number he sees then places the phone on his ear.

"Hello, Declan. I need the address of the hospital one Miss Juliet Pearson is currently in right now" he mutters and ends the call.

He begins counting from one and was in five when the message containing the address pops in and he smiles, reads it, and brings out another phone— a smaller one from his pocket and slips his sim into that then drops the bigger into his pocket.

"Glistening royal hospital" he directs at the cab driver and enters in the back.

The cab driver stares at him through the rear-view mirror at the name of the hospital he just mentioned and zooms off anyway knowing it is none of his business.
