The cold wind blew through the empty streets of the city as Lucas walked slowly toward his small apartment.
His clothes were simple and slightly worn out, but he didn't care anymore.
After years of struggling, he had already gotten used to being ignored by people.
Lucas worked as a delivery boy for a small restaurant. Every day he rode his old bicycle around the city delivering food to strangers.
Some people were kind.
But most people treated him like he was invisible.
"Delivery boy, hurry up!"
"Why are you so slow?"
"People like you will always stay poor."
Lucas had heard these words so many times that they no longer hurt him.
But today was different.
Today, the girl he loved broke his heart.
Earlier that afternoon, Lucas had gone to meet his girlfriend, Jessica, at a fancy café.
She sat across from him wearing expensive clothes and looking completely different from the girl he once knew.
Jessica sighed and looked at Lucas with disappointment.
"Lucas, we can't continue like this."
Lucas felt nervous.
"What do you mean?"
Jessica crossed her arms.
"You are poor. You have no future. I can't waste my life waiting for someone like you."
Lucas felt like his chest was tightening.
"But I am working hard," he said quietly.
Jessica shook her head.
"Working hard is not enough. I want a better life."
Then she stood up.
"Goodbye, Lucas."
And just like that, she walked away from his life.
Lucas sat there for a long time after she left.
Not angry.
Not crying.
Just empty.
Now, as he walked through the dark streets, he kept thinking about everything that had happened.
Maybe Jessica was right.
Maybe he really had nothing.
Lucas finally reached his small apartment building.
Just as he was about to enter, a black luxury car suddenly stopped in front of him.
Lucas frowned in confusion.
Cars like that never came to this poor neighborhood.
The car door slowly opened.
An elderly man in an expensive suit stepped out.
He looked at Lucas carefully.
"Are you Lucas Carter?" the man asked politely.
Lucas nodded.
"Yes… but who are you?"
The old man suddenly bowed his head respectfully.
"My name is William. I am the butler of the Carter family."
Lucas felt confused.
"I don't understand."
William looked at him seriously.
"For many years, we have been searching for you."
Lucas laughed slightly.
"You must have the wrong person."
But William shook his head.
"No."
He opened a black briefcase and showed Lucas several documents.
"Lucas Carter… you are the grandson of the late billionaire Richard Carter."
Lucas felt like the world stopped moving.
"What?"
William continued calmly.
"Your grandfather built one of the largest business empires in the country."
Lucas couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"But… I grew up poor."
William nodded.
"Your parents hid the truth to protect you."
Lucas stared at the documents in shock.
"So what does that mean?"
William looked directly into his eyes.
"It means that everything your grandfather owned…"
He paused.
"Now belongs to you."
The cold night air suddenly felt very different.
The poor delivery boy who everyone ignored…
Was actually the richest heir in the country.
And from this moment forward…
Lucas's life would never be the same again.
