The night drifted away like the gentle breeze, but while others slept and awaited dawn, Luther spent his time making research on the type of life his mother had lived while she was away.The men she had slept with,and what she had gone through, he now had the research team at his fingertips, and while using it he found out about his half siblings, who were in highschool and in college, all three of them, were in differents schools.Luther was excited, he had always seen himself as the only child all his life, and now he has been blessed with the opportunity to make his family even broader, so he scheduled to see his siblings the next day, he had made contact with them and they agreed to come see him the next morning.Barely having any sleep Luther went back home to his wife in the morning, he told her all that had happened and how he would be seeing the kids that very day.Nova was generously excited for him, she chose to skip work for that very day and follow him to see the children
Luther didn't stay back at the hospital to play games and joke around with his in-laws, he had sent his wife back so he doesn't stress her with the burden of watching him rack his mind endlessly about how to cheer him up or worse try to tell him all would be fine. She was already worried sick about the incident that had occurred with his mother, and knowing how much of an empath she was, he could already envision her crying over the result of his mother that she didn't know, she was just like that and he could not change it.“Well, there you have it, I have found the man that called the shot for his release” Matthew said, as he handed Luther the phone, his name was Craig Maya, a leading politician and also the man whom Nova’s mother was competing with.A smirk settled on his face as he saw the name, “Set up a meeting, with him, we would be seeing him now to settle this once and for all”“Isn't it too late!” Mathew asked Luther who was eagerly determined to cuff the perpetrator. “Tha
Matthew watched as Luther walked up to his wife, bile rose in his throat, at first he thought his emotions towards her was nothing but an innocent lust, and nothing ever came in between him and his job, mattew loved his job, he liked that he was working for the next big thing the world would ever see.He liked Luther and so far he enjoyed working with him, but seeing him stand close to Nova, he could not help it, he watched intensively at the couples before him, how Luther placed his hands on Novas waist, and led her inside, he watched him place a kiss on her cheek, and almost instantly he felt a pang of jealousy delude him.He clenched his fist in sheer bitterness before walking out of the car, Matthew walked into the hospital to find Nova laying on Luther’s thighs, it turned out the doctor had dropped a message while he was outside, and it had left Luther drowned in thought.“What’s going on?, what did I miss?” He asked, his weary eyes searched for an answer out of the both of them,
Luther’s mind went haywire for a second, first it was his mother and an abusive lover, now it was his reputation, he hasn’t even had the opportunity to come out to the public, and then they chose to slander his name in a cruel way.He felt his heart beat rise to the impulsive wave of adrenaline that flooded him, it seemed the Cruz family was willing to do anything as long as they kept him away from taking his place.“Later, we need to take my mom to the hospital now!” He said in a hurry as he left the room, the man he had caught beating his mother was already cuffed and placed in the van, while his mother was placed in the ambulance. Luther took to his car with Nova by his side as he drove behind the ambulance till he was sure his mother had been admitted in the hospital, before he went to the police, Martin’s and Nova decided to stay back with Megan, Luther mother, while Luther went to the police station.On getting there he’s held in the waiting room, his hands tapping anxiously on
The drive towards Megan’s house was one long ride, Luther was mostly paranoid, he hated his mother, but seeing her corpse on the floor would be a nightmare, he wished her a lot of bad things because she left him, but death wasn’t one of them, at least not now, now that he finally has money.Fifty minutes drive, at top speed, he finally arrived at the destination Matthew had sent him earlier, it was his mothers’ house with her new husband she had left him for, and seeing the facade of the house made Luther sad.He stopped just outside the house, staring at the building, it was beautiful and big enough to contain an average citizen, it was better than the house he grew up in, he never cared to ask her how her new home was after she came back to his life, and he hated himself even more for caring for her.“Are you okay?” Nova asked her husband, he nodded gently before stepping out of the car, with his car locked, he stretched his hands over to nova who now took his hands as they walked
The day finally came to an end, and a family meeting was called in the waylen house, as Dorothy had lost her campaign for the senatorial seat and she was so damn sure she would not be getting it now that her son had been put to shame.It was so certain that it was going to be chaotic at home. Dorothy was going to shove her hands down his throat and bring his spine out for sure.Nova had to choose, she either stayed at home and witnessed the demise of her brother, or go back to her husband who would care for her, Luther had requested that she goes back to the Cruz mansion, he prepared a chauffeur for her too, which picked her outside the mansion the dropped her at the Cruz mansion.Luther made plans for a date, he wasn’t present which made lt even thrilling for Nova, she anticipated this little surprise, seemed Luther was never tired of surprising her, to her there was nothing left he could give.He gave her the life of her dream, loyalty, love and safety, he gave her everything she ev
Speaking of the waylens—Benedict was standing on a sinking sand, as more of his spoiled brat secrets was on a countdown to being aired, he was biting his nails, his veins were bulging on his face, and he was restless. Unlike his mother, he wasn’t given the opportunity to pay a ransom, his image was at stake and he was facing the possibility of being held in jail for the rest of his life for the death of his best friend.He panicked so much because his mother would strip him off everything he owns even before the federal poke its nose into his business.She was the head of the family, not his father, and she had made it known to him more times than normal that she controlled everyone’s assets in the family, she ruled over them, he knew how brutal she was, and how she cared about her reputation in the society. She might be his mother, but if he wanted to be on her good side he would kill the threat before it gets to him. He was given an hour, before the release of this incriminating
The saga about Luther’s death was still bubbling outside and on everyone’s lips, while Luther watched from the bosom of the hotel room.“What are we going to do boss?” Matthew asked, as Luther penned down his thoughts.Before wealth and suppressed fame, he was the kind of man to journal his ideas and plans, it wasn’t going to change now he had everything, so as he wrote his thoughts and steps alongside the reasons for his actions, Matthew queried him and he tried his best to give answers.“How many countries do I need to visit for my charity work?” Luther asked.“Three more”“Nice,”“Do you know where the relatives are?” He asked again, the thoughts of them made his heart boil in ways he never thought it would.He hated the family he came from, he hated that he had to think of ways to fight them.“They are all scattered around the world, but I am pretty sure they are celebrating”“I need them back at the mansion tomorrow” Luther stared at the ring around his finger, he caressed it ge
“Yes…”One could say it was Nova's happiest moment, to see everything coming together, it was ecstasy, bliss, to see her imagination take form before her, her mom finally understood her pain, and they were willing to accept her husband.But doom was just waiting outside the waylens door, it was going to crippled them down and incapacitate them, they would see Luther as their savior but he would be so far gone, he would be out of reach and they would swivel around him for help, when all this was done, but he would be far like the clouds above.That was what was at stake for them, but in their dark selfish hearts, they saw it as a ploy to take advantage of the situation, nova could not see the pit her family was in so she was gullible.This was exactly what Luther was against, he knew his wife, he knew her family, and worse of all he now understood what it felt like to be taken advantage of.“Then you have it, we will do that, anything for you baby” Dorothy said to nova as she stood up
