“I refuse to believe it! Henry Blake cannot partner with a brainless, big-breasted, broke-ass bitch like you!” Luther tried to fight on, but deep down, he could already tell that the deal was lost.Kia was embarrassed by the comment, but Devin suddenly chipped in.“And does your manager friend still pick your calls? I bet he has nothing to say to you now,” Devin said to Luther.“You fucking bastard!” Luther cursed Devin who just laughed at him. His mind was raging with vain emotions. And when he wanted to hurl at Devin, Henry's secretary walked towards them.Luther recognized her immediately. Believing she had come to welcome him, Luther approached her, but she snubbed him and went straight to Devin and Kia.“Hello, sir. Good day, ma'am. I'm glad to have you here with us today. Henry Blake is waiting. Please, follow me,” she said with a bright smile.But just as they were about to leave, Luther blocked her path. “Hell no! You're not going anywhere! How can you leave me here to attend

“Get the fuck out of here. Shameless fools!” The Police shoved Luther and Amanda out of the station as soon as they paid their bail. Amanda nearly fell, but Luther didn't care.“Can't you help me out here? I'm carrying your child!” She groaned as she stood to her feet. Luther shot her a glare.“You made me lose five hundred thousand dollars today on bail. If you wanted to help earlier, you would have been more convincing about the miscarriage!” He retorted. Amanda chuckled.“This isn't my fault. I only wanted to support you-”“Just shut up and let me think!” He cut her off. Amanda didn't say another word. The price to pay for all the expensive things that Luther buys for her is to be treated like trash.Luther took out his phone and dialed Malcolm's number again. Surprisingly, he picked up.“Where the fuck have you been, man? I've been calling you for ages!” Luther yelled at Malcolm over the phone. Malcolm sighed.“A lot has happened. Plus, I was ashamed of myself for I have nothing

Devin quickly placed the drunk man in the back of his car and zoomed off. His heart was racing. Without a doubt, he knew something was wrong with Kia.And he was right.In the private room of the Four-Star Intercontinental Hotel, Kia lay on the couch, drugged, tired, and extremely thirsty. Her stepmother and aunt were knocked out by the drugs and were unconscious on the floor.“Help…” Kia muttered. Her weary eyes roamed around the room, taking in the mean-looking bodyguards that stood at a distance, watching her.Then, the door opened. Malcolm and Luther stepped into the room, wearing frowns on their faces. Malcolm chuckled when he saw Kia, groaning on the couch.“The bichy's still awake?” He asked a bodyguard who shrugged his shoulder.“She's been a tough one. Even tried to give someone a call but I took her phone,” the bodyguard replied and handed Kia's phone to Malcolm.“Of course she did. The stupid whore has a reputation for causing trouble. How dare you try to fuck my life up?
DEVIN STONE: Rise of the Billionaire Magnate CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
Devin watched Kia carefully. She was on the hospital bed beside him fast asleep. Devin looked at the monitor machine again. Her vitals were stable.His mind roamed back to the fight, to the enormous amount of energy that had escaped from his body, and the strange man that easily quelled what would have been a massive disaster.“Who was he?” Devin wondered. He was determined to find the man, to know what connections he had with his mother. But first, he had to take care of Kia.“Devin…” Kia muttered while she opened her eyes. Devin smiled and gently stroked her cheek with his hand.“Shh. I'm here. Just rest,” he reassured her.Kia gave him a hard stare before she let out a deep sigh.“Why didn't you tell me about your powers?” She asked him, unfazed by what she had just seen.Devin arched his brow.“You don't look surprised,” he said to her and she smiled.“I'm a journalist, Devin. Throughout my career, I have encountered things that are almost impossible to explain…” She winced in pa

“I'm here to see Luther Banks,”Amanda's voice echoed to the officer at the counter. She expected him to give a response but he didn't even spare her a glance.“Hello?? Are you fucking deaf? I'm here to see Luther! I know you cock throats arrested him tonight. For fucking what?” She snapped at the officer again.The officer raised his hand and shot Amanda a glare. “That criminal isn't allowed to have any guests for now. You'll have to come back some other time,” he told her but she scoffed.“The fuck I do! You arrested a man without a just cause, just because that dirtbag Devin told you to, and now you deny him my presence? I'm his fucking wife!” Amanda snapped at the officer who chuckled.“Yeah? Then how come I saw your face on a blog as the most disgraced bride of the year? The news of your failed wedding spread rapidly, Miss Amanda. It's funny you can still show your face in public!” the officer shot at her.Amanda flushed with embarrassment when she heard the words.“I did everyth

“I'm here to see Judge McKellen. My name is Amanda… Banks… “ Amanda lied to the secretary at the judge's office.The secretary, a petite lady in her twenties, shot Amanda a glare. “I didn't know Mr Luther had a second wife. Aren't you the one whose wedding got disrupted because of your terrible behavior?” The secretary asked her with intrigue on her face.Amanda flushed with embarrassment. She didn't know a lot of people had heard about what happened. And there she was, thinking she had everything under control.“Why don't you do your fucking job and get your nose out of matters that don't concern you? Bitch!” Amanda snapped at the secretary who laughed at her.“Yeah, right. I know what you came for. The same thing every lady that walks through that door wants. Go on, then. Your new sugar daddy awaits. Fucking slut!” The secretary kissed her teeth and pointed to a door at her right. Amanda shot her a glare and walked away, composing herself.It was no secret that Judge McKellen was

Devin stood on his feet and blocked Judge McKellen's blow. And then, with a shove, he pushed the judge into the cabinet.“You dare put your filthy hands on me? You shameless motherfucker!” Judge McKellen yelled, grabbed a chair, and threw it at Devin.Devin grabbed the chair and threw it right at Judge McKellen with great agility that the judge didn't see the chair coming.It slammed right at him, kicking him off the ground and slamming him on the floor!“Get the fuck out!” Devin said to him in a menacing tone. “You've exhausted my patience!” “Don't fucking threaten me! I know what you did to Luther Banks. You called the police on him, didn't you? Arrogant brat. I'll end you today!” The judge yelled and cried out as he stood on his feet.He was bleeding from an open wound on his arm and a broken nose.“So, that's what this is about?” Devin asked with a smirk.“Parade all you want. Soon, I'll rip that smile off your fucking face!” McKellen snapped, took out his phone, and called his b

Judge McKellen bounced the call, humiliation rocking his core. He quickly got into his car and zoomed off.Two days after the incident, Amanda kept calling, leaving multiple missed calls on his phone, but McKellen didn't pick up. That was until Amanda suddenly decided to show up at his office.“Why the fuck have you been ignoring my calls? Luther is going to court tomorrow!” She snapped at him as she forced her way into his office, his secretary running after her.“I'm sorry, sir, I tried to stop her…” the secretary muttered, but Judge McKellen waved his hand and dismissed her.Shooting Amanda a side glare, the secretary walked away.“What the fuck are you doing?” Amanda asked McKellen while he cleared his desk, packing his things into a box.“What does it look like? Or do you need glasses to see that I'm leaving?” He shot back at her and she was instantly alarmed.“Leaving? To where? The proceeding is tomorrow! Tell me you've handled Henry Blake and that fucker Devin!” She asked but

“Amanda. Of course, it's you. No one here has a voice as annoying as yours. Although, by now, I thought you'd be shutting the fuck up in public,” Kia retorted, and Amanda chuckled.“Bitch, don't try to be cute. It doesn't suit you. Your place is in the dirty kitchen of some old, worn-out man,” Amanda said and smiled.“And where is that useless boyfriend of yours? Your fellow liar and golddigger? Or has he abandoned you already?” Amanda asked and laughed, but Kia just drank her champagne in silence.“Aw. He must have gotten the attention of another woman and now you feel used. U wish I could say sorry to you, but you deserve to be treated like trash,” Amanda added.Kia placed her glass down and turned to Amanda.“That's rich coming from you. After cheating on him, you're still shameless enough to be obsessed with him. What does that say about you? Slut!” Kia retorted.Amanda saw how furious Kia was. She suspected that something had pissed her off and she didn't want to pick a fight she

“How dare you even suggest that rubbish to me? Do I look like one of your cheap whores that you can use and dispose of?” Petra yelled at Luther as he stood frozen on the spot.His hands were placed on the right cheek where Petra had slapped him. His eyes darted to Devin, who stood there, arms crossed, with a smirk on his face.A wave of anger came upon Luther as he saw the smirk.“That bloody asshole is manipulating you and you can't even fucking see it!” He yelled back at Petra.“Is he yelling at Petra? She's too important to be treated like trash,”“He shouldn't have done that. Now he has to make amends,”“What if she doesn't forgive him? She has influence. She can ruin his life,” Several talks filled the air and Luther could hear them. Petra angered even more, stood in defiance.“You have abused and insulted me, Luther. And I demand an apology,” she said and crossed her arms.Luther sighed. He couldn't afford to have the public opinion turned against him, especially not now that h
CHAPTER FORTY NINE
“What did you just say to me?” Luther fumed and slammed Jim's head again. Jim tried to fight back but Luther was bigger and stronger than he was. He stood no chance.“Forgive me… please!” Jim started begging.“If you say a word of what you saw to your sister, I'll fucking kill you, slowly. Do you understand, you useless brat?” He yelled at Jim, who shook his head quickly.Luther gave him another punch in the face and walked away as Jim bled on the ground. “Fucking rabbit!” Luther cursed over and over again and trudged to the lobby. His eyes roamed for a familiar sight, but everyone was stealing glances at him, wondering how he could be walking free even when he had a five-year sentence.“How powerful is he that he can walk away from such a sentence?”“He must have friends in high places. I wouldn't want to cross him!”“Luther has always been amazing. Everyone knows this. It's best you be on your best behavior when you're around him,” more and more whispers followed.Luther enjoyed th

Petra's phone call had changed the mood in an instant. And Kia had gone from the flirty, wild side of her to the cold nature.Devin knew not to engage her in a conversation. He just wanted the night to be done and over with in a swift time.Finally driving to the auction, Devin helped her step out of the car. But she wasn't even looking at him anymore.“I wanna go grab something to drink,” she said and walked away from him and went to mingle. Devin watched her and sighed. “Trouble in paradise?” Jim, Amanda's brother suddenly said to Devin and approached him, holding a drink in his hand. He faked a smile, but his intention was to hurt Devin.“For someone who pretends to be a top shot, you sure don't know how to handle women. Or let me guess, Yvonne Hall dumped your sorry ass when she found you cheating on her with Kia?” Jim asked again and chuckled.But Devin was still silent. He was irritated by Jim's presence and did not even want to say a word to him.“Are you fucking ignoring me?
CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN
“Are you certain that you want to come with me to the auction?” Devin asked Kia while she wore the expensive necklace he bought for her. She kept her eyes fixed in the mirror, not taking them off for a second.“Yes. I want to. Petra asked you to be her bodyguard. Well, you can be my bodyguard too,” she replied jealously. Devin smiled. He approached her and hugged her from behind. “You know you're the only woman in my heart, right? I will never do anything to hurt you,” he told her and kissed her cheeks.Kia moaned lightly and shut her eyes. “That doesn't mean that I cannot fight to keep you. I'm coming, Devin. That's final,” she added.Devin raised his hands in submission. “Alright. Let's have a great night,” he added before he walked out of the room.In a few minutes, Kia was ready and they headed to the auction. Devin drove his Porshe. He had asked Dreykov to stay behind for the night, as he didn't want any extra attention at the auction.While he drove, Kia looked into the mirror.

“Petra Knight. This is a pleasant surprise,” Devin said as he picked up his phone. He just stepped out of the police station to review any case files regarding the egg.“Really? Weren't you at least curious to hear my voice again?” She asked him in a flirtatious voice.“Have you forgotten that we are betrothed?” She asked again and Devin sighed.“I thought we were past that now,” he said and got into his car.“I don't think we will ever be past that, Devin. You've impressed me. And I'm not easily impressed,” she said.“Look, Petra. You are a lovely lady. Beautiful, successful, and simply amazing. But I am in love with someone else. And I don't want to break up with her,” Devin told her but Petra scoffed.“Spend a night with me first and you'll see I'm really worth the shot,” she propositioned. Devin's lips curled into a smile.“I'm not doing that. Why did you really call me, Petra?” He asked her. By that time, his car came to a stop in the traffic. His fingers tapped the steering ligh
CHAPTER FORTY FIVE
The prison door buzzed and Luther walked through to the phone booth. His eyes lit up with intrigue when he saw the visitor he had that afternoon, a person he never thought he'd see.“Well well, who do we have here? Did the wind blow you into this place or something?” He chuckled as he took his seat.Vera smirked, gracefully picking up the telephone. “It is good to see you, husband. They're not treating you as badly as I would have hoped. By now, I expected you to be nothing more than bones and sores,” she said with a bright smile on her face.“Yeah, bitch? Well, lucky for me, I did what I always do. Played my cards right. You know, when you're finally in prison, you might want to try that,” Luther replied to her with a smirk.Vera chuckled, brushing the hair off her face. “This is your space, Luther. Enjoy it. I can never be in there with you,” she told him and leaned back.Luther's smile faded slowly. “So, why the fuck have you come? I didn't see you at my trial. You refused to send

“Ma'am! I didn't see you coming,” the assistant said to Vera who still held her hand in the mid-air, clenching it tight.“Is this how you go about harassing people just because you work for me?” Vera asked her, but the assistant muttered.“No, ma'am. It's not what you think. The fucker started it!” The assistant accused but Vera pushed her hand off.The assistant staggered back and nearly fell. “And now you're still fucking lying to me? How daft do you think I am?” Vera yelled at her.“Apologize to him. Now!” She added.The assistant baited her eye, glancing at Devin.“But ma'am, he should be the one to apologise. He even said hurtful things to me,” the assistant argued but Vera cut her off.“Apologize or you lose your fucking job!” She yelled at the assistant. Terrified of losing her job, the assistant bowed her head before Devin.“I'm sorry for what happened, sir. It will not repeat itself,” she said but Vera frowned.“Apologize on your knees,” she said to the assistant who gasped.
CHAPTER FORTY THREE
“What is it?” Luther asked her. Lila sighed while she quickly looked for a place to park her car.“Are you interested in making an investment? I promise it'll give back everything you've ever lost!” She said to him.“What sort of investment?” “An egg. Rumour has it the egg has magic. Apparently, there are people in our world called cultivators and the egg can grant them a boost in their powers,” Lila explained.On the other side of the phone, Luther's eyes opened wide while he listened to her explaining.“If it's true, and I can gift this egg to King Viper, then I'll be able to get him to do anything for me in the Future,” he thought to himself.“How much are we talking about?” He asked her.“Well, millions… but that is not even the issue right now. The museum where we stole, well, took it from, they're looking for the egg.”“And they've asked Devin to find it,” she added.Luther frowned when she mentioned Devin's name. He clenched his fist and gnashed his teeth until his jaws harden
