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
Luther knew he would do anything to keep her by his side, and make her leave the life her parents swore he wouldn’t be able afford, same goes for everything he was ever ridiculed for in life, and when Nova went inside to prepare dinner for both of them, Luther took the liberty to call the number Mattew had given him earlier. ‘Tell me everything there is to know about my father's wealth’ Luther said. And Mattew invited him, he volunteered to pick him up but Luther disagreed, he knew Nova would notice any oddness around him, and now that he wasn’t sure he was dreaming he didn’t want to risk telling her anything, so he went away to the street after taking excuses from Nova. Mattew picked him up and they went to the bar, ordered a few drinks before he started speaking. “Your father is Vicenzo crux, an infamous Trillionaire, and a businessman. In the Cruz family, wealth was never meant to leave the family name and that was why he had to let you go, he could never marry your mother n
At night when Nova was asleep Luther took out the file that he hid from her then started going through it, to his amusement, the companies which were enlisted were all the names of big companies, few of which were familiar to him, and many more in other states, and countries he had never visited. Some were names rumored to be owned by men who were rich since the beginning of time. They made the cover of Forbes magazine each year , and those names were mentioned in these files, and how these men happened to be in some kind of brotherhood with his alleged father and some investors among them too. It was just too much for Luther to handle; he had no idea if he was going to be happy or sad with so much power and authority, he felt too inferior as all these came with so much responsibility, one he couldn’t toss away with ease. It took him the whole night to navigate the ton of money under his name but he finally did and later went to bed with the aim of visiting the companies in the m
