How dare him! Laura thought.She didn’t know that Henry woke have the audacity to go through her things. Her phone. She checked her phone and beneath the number there was a message. It was from the vice president. He said he was packing loads of Luther’s enemies. This way he was not going to fail this time.Laura said hoped it worked out this time. She was tired of hiding her true self. She didn’t want to call Henry. She was waiting for him to do the right thing. One week later, Henry was yet to call. She was pissed. She wanted to be done with him and hurt him beyond his imagination.One day while she was in the club, she met the last person she thought she would never see.Lukas.“ well well well what do we have here” “ hi Lukas” she said.“ I never for once thought that I would see you here” he smirked.“ You are not omnipresent. You can’t be everywhere then” she said.Lukas looked pleased to see her or he was just having a time of his life. Then suddenly he took a gulp of his
Henry’s POVThree months later.There was no surprise attack on the gang. Laura had been calling to apologize but I was not ready. Jackson one day suggested we visit the club. I agreed because had left the country.*********It was 1am and I was at a party with my friends. Then I saw Lukas. He smirked and asked that he joined us. I told Jackson to Let him though he didn’t like it.Suddenly Lukas began to stare at me. “Truth or Dare” Lukas said staring right at me. I rolled my eyes. He was back at itLukas smirked at me. “Lukas will you cut it out” Jackson looked from left to right. “Dare” I said in clenched teeth. “You know what he wants to do” Moose whispered while pulling me by the shirt and I smiled. I was going to indulge him because I was bored.“Come on Henry, you know he’s just jealous” Moose added.Lukas smirked. “Look at him, he is already scared”“Should I?” I snapped. It was like déjà vu.“Why do you guys keep on protecting him?” Lukas said looking away while chuckling
One year later.Music flooded the speakers as people swayed to the side. Decorations of different colors filled the whole house.Today is the day Luther’s men have been waiting for. Luther was coming back to the country. Henry met with everyone that would come work at the party except the dance people.Laura had begged for forgiveness enough so he forgave her but he told her that he would not date her again. Laura was okay with that. She told him that she would hire the dance people at the party.There was a roar and clapping from people. Henry peered. He could see a healthy looking Luther. He looked handsome. It was good he left the country. It made the house quiet.“ fan and turn the meat, Don’t let it burn” Henry said to the old man and he nodded. Henry walked to the center. “ Welcome Luther” he said quietly. Luther immediately turned.“Henry!!! It’s good to see you again” he said and grabbed Henry for a hug.Henry’s POVThere was a gun shot in a distant.“We’ve been attacked!”
The morning that followed the death of Luther king was a quiet one. The whole house was as quiet as a graveyard. His men who were still around, went about tidying up the house. The maids were nowhere to be found as they fled the area. The people who loved him in the town mourned him quietly and his enemies also rejoiced quietly. One wrong move from his enemies, and it would be a blood birth. Henry was just gearing for that. All through the early hours of the morning, Henry had been restless. His blood drummed through his veins. He gritted his teeth as he recalled seeing the blood trailing all the way to the balcony before he was shot there. The sight of the pool resembled that of a moment, when a shark was tearing through a human. Henry went though many what ifs in his mind. He wished and fantasized about how he would have saved Luther. He badly he wanted to avenge Luther’s death. Deep down him knew that his Killer was not far from the house.That same night, the ambulance arrived.
Laura removed her hand from her mouth almost immediately. She shut her eyes and opened it.“I heard it from the news” she said immediately. Henry knew that was defensive behavior. That even added to Henry’s reasons to suspect her. Henry knew that the press had been told that Luther was dancing when he was shot. That was why people were too hurt. It was just the people around that saw Luther fall from the balcony. So Laura was lying. He didn’t want to press further, so he smiled.“Okay” he said and stood up to leave when he heard Laura’s voice.“Okay?” she echoed the word out like she didn’t understand.“Okay. Were you expecting more questions?” henry said with a ghost smile playing on his lips.“No!” then she cleared her throat. “I mean no” she scowled. She stood and began to gather her gadgets.“Good” Henry replied and walked out. He let out a small laugh on the way to his room. It was just a matter of time before Laura would begin to sing like a bird. Or she could be a hard nut to c
Henry had left the house to a hotel. It was his favorite spot. The hotel had a serene environment. He always went there when he had a mental overload and needed to see people and not guns. Being in the Mafia was not something he was proud of but going back was something he hated. He never wanted to feel that way again. that way when Danny had stood in front of everyone and insulted him. One word comes to mind, whenever he thinks of that; helpless. No one was willing to help, except until Luther stepped in. guess that was why he had a liking for the man. Even though he might have done evil things, he still liked him. he had finish going for a swim, he wore his clothes and took the elevator to his room. on his way to the elevator, he saw ladies, calling out to him as they sashayed in front of him. he gave I another thought. Nah. The reason his head was this messed up was because of a woman. He got up to his room and inputted his code. He should have noticed a figure in his room standi
Laura wants to kill me? Henry thought. He didn’t have time to be sad or angry. He knew he had to act or he could really be dead.Henry’s senses were all on alert. He went to the window and peeped. He couldn’t see them. They must be on their way up.“ Stand up!” He grabbed her and pushed her to the door. Luckily she was able to walk with her legs tied. He closed the door behind him and grabbed her. Together he followed Through the staircase. In his hands, Laura’s phone kept ringing. He checked their chat to know that, Laura had already told Lukas his room number. He felt sad. He never for once thought he would be able to really kill Laura, no matter how he wanted to. But here she was, she has already planned his death.They got down and he got into the car. Then while he was driving, Laura managed to loosen up the cloth tied on her mouth.“ where are you taking me!”“ somewhere you won’t hurt someone else” he said as he increased his speed. Laura turned f her head frantically to the
It was a hot Wednesday afternoon. Henry and Jackson prepped up Luther’s mountain penthouse in preparation of the lawyer to come for the will reading. It was stated that Luther wanted the will to be read there.“Laura would be coming?” he turned to Henry. Henry nodded, his face looked like he was deep in thought.“Yes definitely, you can’t take that away from Laura Luther is her father.”“Her adopted father” Jackson corrected.“Still her father” Henry added. He wondered why Luther wanted him at the will reading. He was not family and he might probably willed everything to Laura. “What if Laura becomes the boss? “Jackson asked. Henry sighed deeply. That thought consumed him all through last night. It seemed that he was truly destined to leave the gang. He was actually going back to where he was. He thought about his bank balance and racked his head on the next business he would do, to get by.“I’d leave” He said.“Huh?” Jackson’s eyes flew open.“Yes I have to. Laura would try to kil
