Chapter 1

All of his life Lucas Scott had been controlled. Told where to go, what to say and who to. Everything down to what to wear.

Some may say his life was easy having everything decided and done for him, a care free life right? Well things are that perfect, every good story needs a villain and Lucas' was his father Dan Scott.

But the worst part about is that Dan wasn't an evil man who intentionally ruined Lucas' life, Dan (in his opinion) was only doing the best for his son, preparing him for a great future to follow in his footsteps of ultra business man.

Dan Scott was a giant success and had created his own company at the young age of 18 and then conquered the business world leading him to be one of the most powerful men in business.

Dan at the age of 20 met the love of his life Karen, who unfortunately died giving birth to their child Lucas. Dan had never really fully forgiven himself for the death of his wife, and felt obliged then to make Lucas even more successful than him.

But Lucas had no interest in business; he was only interested in writing and always had been. Reading great classic novels and writing was all he wanted to do. But Lucas understood – and felt slightly guilty- about the fact that his mother wanted him to pursue a life following in the family business. Well at least that is what Dan had told him.

"Lucas so tonight I need you to circle the room, talk and social with everyone though avoid the Wood's they are an odd sort. Remember your future is riding on this night." Dan informed his son as they were driven to the social event for the business world in Philadelphia.

"No pressure!" Lucas said sarcastically, but it wasn't like he hadn't known this might wasn't coming.

"It's being hosted by the Sawyers you know." Dan hinted unsubtly, the Sawyers were a most respected couple in the town and their only daughter Peyton was considered a very favourable partner.

"Really I did not know that." Lucas said humouring his father; he had no interest in Peyton. Yes she was beautiful, but that was all she had to offer. No, Lucas wanted to find someone with character, intelligence and a spark.

"I do believe we are here." Dan said picking his jacket up and stepping out of the opened door.

Lucas and Dan walked into the extraordinarily huge house that had been amazingly decorated for tonight.

They entered the main room which was all ready buzzing with atmosphere, lots of people in smart attire.

"Mr Scott and this must be Lucas." A mature man said shaking Dan's hand.

"Yes this is my son." Dan said proudly, patting Lucas on the back, over enthusiasm for Dan it seemed to Lucas.

"Well I think I owe congratulations then." The man said shaking Lucas' hand, who was utterly confused he had no idea what he was being congratulated on.

"Thank you." Lucas replied unsurely, the man walked off and Lucas turned to Dan who gave nothing away in his face but his body language was clear that he was keeping something.

"Dad what is going on? Why did he congratulate me?" Lucas inquired.

"Oh who knows, I think old age is finally setting in with poor Mr Jones." Dan said shiftily, moving on to another couple who he shook hands with.

Lucas decided not to press the matter, and instead looked round the room and saw Peyton in the corner. She gave him a strange dismissive look, and for the second time that night Lucas was highly confused. Something was going on, and he was going to find out what.

--

"Dinner is served." The butler said entering the large room and quickly exiting out into the kitchen, whilst another waiter led the guests to the dining room.

Lucas searched for his name place; he never understood why people couldn't just choose where they wanted to sit at these things.

Unusually Lucas was not sat next to some big shot business official but instead a regrettable Peyton Sawyer.

Lucas took his place next to her, and she was no more pleased to be seated next to him either. But her expression was defiantly in the knowing, so he decided to ask her what the hell was going on.

"Peyton have you got any idea why someone might be congratulating me?" Lucas asked, scanning the room for Dan.

"Well that is just wonderful the groom doesn't even know when he is at his own engagement party." Peyton said cynically.

"What the hell are you on about? Who is getting married, its not that awful couple the witchy looking women and the man who could Simon Cowell a run for his money-"

"No, its us you moron." Peyton interrupted him, and a lead brick fell on Lucas' shoulders.

"What are you talking about?" Lucas said, not at all aware of how offensive he sounded.

"He didn't tell you did he?" Peyton said sympathetically, which was odd for her.

"Who?" But then it clicked, of course he knew who.

"I'm sorry Lucas, he told me he told you and that this is what you wanted. Dan set up the whole thing, I didn't know even before my parents had decided for me."

Lucas wasn't hearing anymore he was already out of his seat and pulled Dan away from the table and into a empty corridor.

"Just when I thought you couldn't get more screwed up!"

"Lucas I have no idea what you are on about. But can you keep it down there are lots of people in there who can pull a lot of strings!"

"I don't care who hears! You said I wanted to marry Peyton!" Lucas shouted angrily.

"This is what is best for your future; god knows who you would have chose on your own." Dan said simply as if he was choosing a flavour oh chips, not someone to spend the rest of your life with.

"But that's just it, it is my choice because its my life! And you have always told me what to do but not anymore. I cant take it." Lucas said frustrated and tired.

"What are you gonna do, leave?" Dan said mockingly he knew Lucas would never go anywhere.

"Yeah your right I am going to leave, I am going to get away from you and this ridiculous way of life."

"Oh really where are you going to go?" Dan said trying to keep his tone calm, but Dan could tell that Lucas was serious.

"I don't know and I really don't care." Lucas said holding his hands up walking away from his father.

"Don't walk away from me." Dan threatened.

"Or what?" Lucas retaliated continuing to walk away; he was going to be free.

"The airport please." Lucas said getting into a cab, for the first time in his life he felt freedom and although he didn't know where he was going or what he was going to do. It really didn't matter, what mattered was things would be on his terms now.

The cab arrived at the airport and Lucas paid the fee, and headed inside. He had called his butler – yes that is how extreme it was- and asked him to have all his luggage brought to the airport.

Lucas looked up at the departure board and thought so where do I want to go?
