Lucian's POV-
After the plane took off, I searched for the box, there it is.
I took it and kept it on my lap. My hands were trembling and my palms were wet with sweat, even when the air conditioner was on. I opened the covering of the box, then I took out the letter inside.
THE LETTER-
[Dear Lucian,
If you are reading this letter, then this is true, I died.
But dear please don't lose hope, because I believe you. You are the only heir of the Valle family. And about your dad, I hope that you met Mr. Stephen. And if you did then he will tell you the way to find your dad.
Dear, there are many puzzles, many clues and you have to solve them. I know you are not alone, ask your friends and your relatives, they will help you but dear, do not tell them about your inheritance.
Your father was greedy, your cousins, uncles and aunts are also greedy. They will try do pull you down by hook or by crook but dear, don't ever or ever back down because this inheritance is not something small it contains a trillions and trillions of gold and money.
This whole inheritance is the earning of you great grandfather, grandfather from your father's side and of course me too and also your grandfather and uncles from maternal side.
And about your aunt protect her, in any cost and don't tell your relatives about your uncle because they may use him against you. And also don't inform your uncle about the inheritance, and of course you have to protect yourself too dear.
I LOVE YOU LUCIAN.
- YOUR MOM]
I don't know why but this felt heavy. Inheritance, relatives, my father, all this seems to be a puzzle, but why?
Why can't mom clearly tell me what is going on?
Who were Valle's? What did my father do? Where is my father? How did mom die? What is the reason my monster uncle is after my mom's earnings?
There is something which is beyond explanation but I still need the answer.
I again took out the other letter inside but it was empty.
A empty letter. Is mom serious? There were some photos which did not make any sense. A family photo, a family tree probably of Valle. I looked closely at the first ancestor of the Valle's...
King Stezar and Queen Andorshi [Valle]
Wow! That is why our family is rich, no doubt but I never heard about them. Maybe underrated king and queen ha!
Still I am also a Valle. So that means I am the only heir of this whole treasure!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
But firstly my mom and aunt are important to me not this treasure, and if my mom wants me to protect and carry this all further then I'll do it but only for my mom because she sacrificed her life for the stupid treasure of the underrated king and queen.
The plane landed and we got off.
"Hello sir, I am your translator Nikos , I will help you to understand the greek language and translate your words into greek." a man standing near the plane said.
" Thank You, I look forward to work with you." I replied and moved forward.
"Let's go." Stella came forward and whispered in my ears.
" First tell me who are we going to meet?" I asked.
"Before meeting your relatives, we are going to meet a security operator, he will help you to know about greek and ensure your security during this whole trip." She replied and pulled me towards the waiting area of the airport.
I saw a man wearing Linen shirt of cream colour and Slim trousers,Was sitting there. He wore a golden watch in one hand, as soon as he saw me he got up and rushed towards me.
"Γεια σας κύριε Λούκιαν, είμαι ο Θίο.[ Hello Mr. Lucian, I am Theo.]" he said something in greek which I could not understand at all so I just passed a smile. Where did that Nikos is. I need him!
"Sir, sorry for the delay", Nikos said, while catching his breath.
"Παρακαλώ καθίστε, κύριε Λούσιαν. Ας μιλήσουμε." He said something again.
I looked with a sharp gaze towards Nikos.
"Please sit down Mr. Lucian. Let's have a talk." Nikos translated the greek guy Theo.
"Mr. Theo, I am here for some personal reasons I need a proper security and also a well organised plan." I said
Theo than looked towards Nikos, "Κύριε Θίο, βρίσκομαι εδώ για κάποιους προσωπικούς λόγους. Χρειάζομαι σωστή ασφάλεια και ένα καλά οργανωμένο σχέδιο." Nikos translated my words.
"Εντάξει, κύριε Λούκιαν, θα στείλω όλες τις λεπτομέρειες και τα σχέδια στον βοηθό σας και για την πληρωμή, ας το συζητήσουμε αργότερα." Theo replied.
"Fine Mr. Lucian, I will send all the details and plans to your assistant and about the payment, let's discuss it later." Nikos translated it.
" Sure!" I replied and got up. We shook our hands and then moved forward. Should I learn some greek, this guy Nikos is a headache, I am not familiar of carrying a person along with me everywhere like a child.
"Κύριε, παρακαλώ μπείτε μέσα", the driver said.
Where is this guy, Nikos.
I looked around... "Sir please get in." Nikos translated.
He was standing behind the car. This guy sucks!
I sat in followed by Stella, Nikos sat in front. The drive was silent, no one spoke.
This silence was not something I was used to experience. Section B, the chaos, the volcano that can burst any time.
I miss everything, I am still in 11 year but I have to do all this because I have no other option. I have to...
I took out my phone and scrolled through the photos on the group chat...
The next photo hit harder than he expected - Aria.I exhaled sharply, staring at the screen as if the pixels could burn.Why did her face still have this kind of power over me? My jaw tightened.Should I delete it. Maybe just keep it, anyways this photo is worth seeing.
The car stopped with a sharp jolt.I looked to my right — and froze.
It wasn't just a villa. It was a fortress disguised as paradise.White marble walls, trimmed with gold, stretched across acres of land.Olive trees lined the driveway like guards standing to attention.The ocean shimmered behind it, endless and blue, the sun carving diamonds into its surface.
"Welcome to your new home, sir," Nikos said quietly.
Home.The word hit harder than I expected.
But… how do I even own it? There were no tourists, no people — nothing but silence and salt in the air.Mom never mentioned anything about this villa… or should I say, an ancestral home?
Suddenly, someone stepped in front of me.
"Mr. Valle. Nice to meet you again."
He smirked.Wait— I know him.He's…
