Billionaire's Identity

Chapter 37

******* Lucas's P.O.V******

By the time I entered the hub, Winona and Freya are talking more like arguing.

"Winona, come with me we'll talk somewhere else" I grabbed her hand.

"Lu? Lucas? What happened to you?" she was dazed by my fake identity. 

"Lucas? No, you are mistaken it's Leo, Leonardo mam, our assistant here" said Karen. 

Winona clapped and laughed like a maniac before she opened her vicious mouth "Oh that's what your fake identity is Leonardo, good one! What's with this drama now Lucas?"

"Leo, what's she talking?" Freya asked bewildered. 

"What will he say? he just got caught red-handed. I will tell! This man here is the billionaire Lucas Weissman, CEO of the Weissman industries and the only heir of the Weissman family" Winona spat out those words like venom.

"What what are you talking, Leo what's she saying?" Freya's voice cracked. 

"I'm sorry Freya" I lowered my head. 

"Why? Why did you do this?" her face turned blue. 

"Exactly I want to know the same why did you do this Lucas? Your poor friend here tried to protect you but you know I've got my ways" Winona smirked referring to Gavin.

"I..I want to talk to you alone Freya" I pleaded.

"You're not leaving me without an explanation Lu!" Winona flared up.

"Get her the fuck out of here!" I lost my shit finally and shouted. In a matter of seconds, Destiny arrived with my bodyguards and made the coast clear dragging out that bitch Winona out of the hub. There's dead silence around us and everyone's baffled at what just happened.  

"Please Freya, if you want to know the truth come with me" this time Freya obeyed me witnessing my ruthless side. We left the hub and Destiny drove us back to my penthouse. I could see Freya staring at me and Destiny the whole time but didn't say a thing.

I took off my grey lens, piercing and shaved my beard while Freya waited outside.

I can see her eyes widened with shock as if she had seen a ghost but she composed herself and shot out the same question again " Why Leo...Mr.weissman, why did you do all of this? Is this a game to you? Was any of it real between us?" She's about to break into tears.

"I'm very sorry Freya, I did not want to deceive you but it was the only way. If you know my real identity you would never let me come close to you. I had to do this. But I swear what's between us is real. I never felt the things I felt for you before for anyone. The more I got close to you the more I became selfish and continued to live out my fake identity. I I...I love you so much Freya, I can't live without you please don't hate me" I cupped her face.

She took a step back and placed her palm up distancing me from her, " The truth Mr.Weissman " 

Now things have come to this I must tell her the truth behind my transformation from Lucas Weissman to Leonardo Benjamin.  

"Eight years ago, your mom was suffering from rare heart disease and she is up for heart transplantation. Because of her rare condition and blood type, it was hard for her to get a donor. One day you were told that she has a matching donor and she was up for surgery that day. Then you were told somebody paid for the heart and the donor's family sold it to some rich guy. You couldn't find another match soon and your mom died that week. It's my father, it's my father who bought the heart for me. I have the same rare condition as your mom had. I didn't know any of this at that time until recently. My father was sick and he knew he doesn't have many days left here. He told me how he bought the heart for me and how you denied the money, house, insurance everything that he offered when your mom died. He wanted to beg for your forgiveness but my father died a couple of months ago and his last wish was that I take care of you and apologize to you. I realized your forgiveness can't be bought with money or any material stuff and that you started hating rich people since that day. So I thought if only I can become close to you, you'll accept my apology but in the process, I started lovin.."

A sharp slap on my cheek.

"Don't you dare say that word again! It's not love, it's lies that you fed me up with and made a stupid out of me for loving the guy responsible for my mom's death. Don't you ever show me your face again! I despise you" she ran towards the door.
