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
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 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
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
Just like every other day in Luther's life, this day was bad,he just prayed it would end as soon as possible. He stared at his boss counting the revenue generated from his sales and from the looks of it, it looked like a lot. “Here you go Luther, you did real well today” he handed him two hundred dollar bills, which was nothing compared to the stacks he just shoved into his desk, Luther was tired of everything, he worked really hard in the field yet he never complained, he took whatever was given in hopes that one day all would be well with him and they would see him for his true potential as his wife Nova told him all the time. But looking at the money in his hands, he wasn’t satisfied, it was unfair, “ I won’t take that, I need my share of profit” he dropped the money on the desk. Fred looked at him bewildered by his courage. “What do you mean?It's the best payment out there, I am doing you a favor by giving you that money.” Lies, it was all lies, Luther wasn’t that dumb to
Chapter 2 Back at home, luther sat in silence,his wife has been crying all day long, and he knew too well that regret was part of the reasons why she cried so much. He felt powerless before her, it was even worse now that he had no job to sustain them, she had no idea he was now jobless, he couldn’t tell her he was just a man who couldn’t even feed her now, he could not tell her that her family might be right after all. He loved her so much but a part of him kept on saying if he truly did love her as he claimed. He would be letting her go, her family was worried about her. They might insult him, but they did it for her, they wanted a good life for their daughter, and he knew if he was capable of giving it to her, they would not insult him so much like they do all the time, so he considered letting her go. They would give her the life he can’t dream of giving her, but Luther knew his wife, what they shared together was not about the money, he knew Nova would not leave. She c
He thought about his wife and how much pain she would be in, if he went back to her without making it clear to her family that she didn’t deserve to be taken advantage of. He walked towards her siblings who still insulted him, without the regard that he could hear them clearly from where he stood. Their sole purpose was to provoke him enough to make him beg for their acceptance, but Luther never did. “What do you think you are doing here you thief” James said to Luther. “He probably came here to beg for money, after taking our daughter away from us, he can’t even take care of himself,” said Benedict. “I did not come for you, I came to see them” he told James. James had his eyes fixed on the entrance, he was looking for Nova, but it seemed her husband came alone, so he took it as an opportunity to ridicule him even more. “Get the guards to throw him out, men like him deserve nothing, look at him, the only good thing in his life is your daughter” “ I have tried to talk to
Like a dream, Luther urged himself to wake up, but it was just too real, the word ‘Master’ baffled him and left him standstill. Throughout his lifetime he had heard other names that were not pleasant to the heart, but this particular name he was referred to gave him chills. He wanted to tell the macho men that they got the wrong person, but he remained mute instead, and bowed his head so they didn't tell how scared he was. If somehow they found out that he was the wrong person, he was prepared for another round of embarrassment. The men walked towards the building, it was bigger than any residential house he had ever seen, not even that of his in-laws, and the weirdest part was where it was located. As the men began to walk towards the building, he just followed them till they were inside this glamorous gold like castle. Amused by the sight, words couldn’t explain what it felt like to be inside such a place. Gradually, he was led into a room in this castle. The walls were
