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
Henry walked out of the bathroom. He rubbed his hair with the towel as he stared at his phone lighting up his dark room.“meet me at the bar downtown “said Jackson, the moment Henry picked the call.“Okay” he replied and hung up. Today he would know if Laura was just bluffing. After the failed will reading thanks to Laura, he had not been at peace. Did Windsor leave him something? That question kept ringing in his mind. He badly wanted to know if he should hope or let go. He needed to know his fate. With Luther it was already a lost cause. Laura would make life unbearable for him. So after that day, he confided in Jackson, who then said that he would do a background check on Windsor and all.Earlier in the day, Jackson had called to say, he had some news. Which he later called, to tell him where they would meet.“ hey man” Jackson proceeds to give Henry a hug as soon as he arrived at the bar. “ Hey, thanks for the info” Henry said. Jackson smiled. “ it’s the least I can do”“can I ge
