DEVIN STONE: Rise of the Billionaire Magnate

CHAPTER SEVEN

“No. Do not waste your time with that pitiful excuse of a man. The dog has returned to the streets. Let him stay there,”

Amanda's eyes darkened as Sera held her back. 

“But mother… he assaulted you. I want to see him kneel before you, begging you in tears as he leaks your shoes!” Amanda shot back.

She forced her hands into Luther's who just stood there, glaring at them all.

"The most urgent thing right now is to finalize your marriage with Luther," Sera said, her voice laced with a sense of urgency. "We need to make that stupid Devin give up. If he sees you're out of reach, he'll reconsider creating such a scene next time."

"Devin even even rented a car at great cost when he came today. A porshe. The bastard is just bitter…” Jim snickered.

“We can't let him succeed. He just wants to mess up your wedding!" Jim sneered and tried to laugh, but the pain made him stop.

“Now that I think about it, you're right. Perhaps he just wants attention to see if I'll reconsider him. Ha! He's even more delusional than I thought!” Amanda said and burst out laughing. Sera joined her.

“I don't think I should be here for this kind of talk,” Luther suddenly stated and Amanda turned to him.

He pretended his face was flushed with embarrassment as he chided them for discussing such things in front of him. 

 "You're too shy, Luther. I'm lucky to have found such an excellent man." Amanda, however, seized the opportunity to tease him. 

Aww…”  Sera purred while Amanda forced her lips on Luther. But Luther was disgusted by them all. He just forced a smile to keep up appearances.

"My friends are all envious that I get to be Luther's brother-in-law. A big shot like him as my brother-in-law will change my life forever!”

“You're one lucky woman, Amanda. This family is lucky to have Luther!" Jim added.

Luther's smile hid his true thoughts. 

He knew Amanda's background was questionable, that she was shallow and vulgar, with nothing but a pretty face and ass to her. 

But he had been married for many years without an heir, and now Amanda was pregnant with his child. 

He had to ensure his child's legitimacy, no matter the cost.

Just wait two years, let Amanda deliver the baby smoothly, and he'll throw this woman and her greedy family away like garbage!

Luther sneered as the thought danced through his mind

“What are you thinking about babe?” Amanda suddenly asked him but Luther smiled.

“New ways to make you happy, my love,” he replied and she purred.

"The location for the wedding has already been decided," Luther said, his voice smooth as silk. "It will be held at the Le Grande Auditorium in the ultra exclusive villa area."

Amanda's eyes widened in shock, her face alight with excitement. "That's the best auditorium in the city, maybe even the whole country!" she breathed.

“Only the richest folks get to visit that villa. And one would need a special invite to drop by. Will my daughter get married there? This is a fairytale!” Sera exclaimed with excitement.

 "I never thought I'd be able to get married there. The last wedding was five years ago, and it was the president's precious daughter. I will be the centre of attention for a whole month if this happens!” Amanda cried with excitement.

“Thank you babe. I love you so much!” She hugged Luther and kissed him deeply.

“Anything for you, my love,” he replied to her.

“How did you manage to get a reservation at the auditorium?” Amanda asked, genuinely curious.

“I paid twenty million dollars!” He replied.

Sera and Jim exchanged proud glances, their faces reflecting their satisfaction. "Luther, you're amazing. I never doubted that you are the one for my daughter," Sera said. 

Her mind roamed again to Devin but she quickly discarded the thought.

“Fucking jinx!” She cursed under her breath.

Luther smiled. He wrapped his arms around Amanda's waist.

"At the wedding, all the big shots in the villa area will send their blessings…” Suddenly, Luther frowned.

“... And it's said that a very prominent heir has moved into the Number 1 mansion in the villa area..." He said.

“Do you know who it is?” Amanda asked him.

“No. But to move into the Number 1 villa, you have to be filthy rich. I would like to meet him during the wedding. We can discuss business ideas,” Luther stated.

At the mention of such wealth and status, Amanda's heart jumped with greed. There and then, the insatiable parasite within her picked a new interest.

“I wonder who he is…”  she muttered.

“Just two years, and I'll dump you the gutters where you belong. Worthless cum dump!” Luther cursed in his heart.

But outside, he wore a wide smile, holding Amanda closer than ever, so that she wouldn't suspect a thing.

Amanda smiled too. But her mind was already fixated on the latest landlord in the city. 

“I have to meet him, no matter what it takes!” She thought.
