BLS #7: BREAKING THE LAST

Kenneth Domanco

20 years ago..

“Nicholas!” My dad called me.

“Yes dad.” I said in a really clear voice.

“Let’s go somewhere and asked Marie, Josh, Leonardo and Cassie to come too.” My dad said, I nodded and walked inside the house. Running upstairs to their rooms and asked them to go out now.

“Are we going to training again today dad? It’s Saturday.” Marie my sister asked.

“Don’t ask any questions, just follow me.” He said.

“Come on bud, let me help you.” Leo helped me to get inside the jeep, we all get inside the car. My dad was driving with Josh beside him and we all sat at the back.

“Where are we going dad?” Cassie asked.

“Listen to me kids.. Listen to me well, I want you to remember the road to get to the place hat we’re going now. Remember it because it’s important for emergency.” My dad seriously said, Leo sat me on his lap so I can see the road.

After 20 minutes, we arrived at a small house on the side of Los Angeles. We walked out and dad lead us inside the house. It’s a really small house comparing to our house.

“Kids.. see this?” He pointed at a small wood, we all nodded.

“If there’s a danger or emergency situation, I want you to run to this house and opened this wood.” He opened it and it revealed a 5 different box.

“This box is order by your age.. Josh, Marie, Cassie, Leo and lastly Nicholas.” He said as he looked at us one by one.

“If you opened this box, you need to type a password to access it so here’s the password.”

“Your own birthday but the tricky thing is that.. add our lucky number.. what is it?”

“Seven.” I said and he smiled to me.

“What’s your birthday date champion?” He asked me.

“1 August.”

“So the password will be 0808. Add the number 7 to your date and it’s your password.” He said reminding us all.

“What’s inside?” Marie asked.

“Try to type your password and let me show you.” He said to Marie. She typed her password and suddenly a small stairs appear and it was connected to the underground floor.

Our eyes widen because it’s so cool and just unbelievable that my dad got this for us.

“Follow me.” Dad walked down the stairs and we all followed him. My eyes widen as I saw a small room with computers, guns, grenades and things like that.

“This is Marie’s, there’s the sign.” He pointed at Marie Lemiere sign.

“Come here kids.” He gestured us to gather and he showed us a big black box.

“Marie sit beside me.” He said and Marie sat beside my dad. He took her right hand and put it on the box. It scanned Marie’s hand and it immediately opened. Wow.

“Inside here there’s so many things that you need to survive if there’s anything happen to me, to us and to our family.” He closed the box again before we can even see. He turned to us and gestured us to sit.

“Who are you?”

“The Lemiere.” We all said in unison.

“Don’t forget that until the end you will always be a Lemiere, no matter what happen we need to protect your kingdom. Do you understand?” He asked and we all nodded.

“Why are you saying this like there will be somehing going on?” Cassie asked.

“We can’t predict the future, we only have each other and as your dad I have to prepare something for my children.” He smiled.

“We won’t be separate right?”

“Of course not.. we’re a Lemiere, who dares to do that?” He smiled.

“Remember one thing.. that me and your mom love you guys a lot.” He reminded.

“We love you too.” Josh said.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“You take care of Nicholas if something happens.. take care of each other okay? Don’t forget every lesson that I taught you.” He said.

“Will do dad.” Leo said.

“Now give me a hug.” We all hugged him really tightly and I can’t be more happy than ever.

“Hello kids.” We all turned to see my mom standing there smiling.

“Mommy.” I ran to her and she hugged me tightly.

“So how’s my little champion? Did you listen to your dad well?”

“Of course, I’m a smart boy.”

“Oh really? Who’s boy are you?”

“Mom’s boy.” I chuckled and she pinched my cheek.

“Who wants to go to a fair?” My dad asked.

“Me me me.” Cassie said.

“Let’s go.. I want to eat a lots of cotton candy.” Marie said.

“Let’s go then.” My dad smiled and we walked out from that house. Got into the cars and go to the fair. Little did I know, that house was the place where I find out my dad’s last letter, inheritage and the story of our family.

Nicholas Lemiere is the only last Lemiere standing and Lemiere is still ruling the world. Claming my dad’s place and make him proud by standing as the 1st place in business world just like old times.

How I wish my family can see this but too bad they’re all in other place now.

“Lemiere is not just a company who rules America, Lemiere is a family and it’s our kingdom. Not only Josh who will be my heir but you all will be my heir and heirest.” My dad always said that and I always remember that sentence until I die.

We were happy until I lose everything at 14 years old. Staring over my life by building a really tall walls around me. Froze my heart because I know if I let someone in, I will lose it just like my dad lose his family. I saw it with my own eyes when it happen and I’m not going to repeat it again.

I’m standing here right now because I’m building again the empire that had broke down. Lemiere’s enemies are still out there even they thought all of the members already die but no.. there’s still one left.

Lemiere will forever be on top even now I still hide it as Domanco.. one day Lemiere will be reveal again.
