2024-10-29 19:42:56Henry exited the Mall's location and began to make his way back home with a heavy heart and his mind filled with thoughts. Just when he had the chance to show off in front of Elena and Danny, his card failed him and instead he was the one who got humiliated in front of everyone.
Luther did say there was a total of one million dollars in the ATM card, yet the transaction declined. While Henry was walking through the streets, his phone began to chime in his pocket. He chose to ignore it and kept on walking, but the phone rang again.
Henry slid his hand into his pocket and took out the phone to glance at the caller. It was an unknown number.
"Hello?" Henry spoke after answering the phone.
"Mr. Henry Barlow, your presence is requested by Mr. Luther right now." A deep and rugged male's voice sounded over the phone.
"I don't even know how to get to his place." Henry responded.
"A ride will be sent to you immediately after I hang up this call." Saying those last words, the call was disconnected. Seconds after the call got disconnected a shiny black Mercedes Benz drove towards Henry and pulled over beside him. The car of the driver's seat swung open for Henry to get in.
Henry gulped before entering the car and shut the door. There were two men inside the car also, all dressed in black suits and a fierce look on their faces. The driver started the car and drove off instantly.
***
After driving for a few minutes the car finally pulled over in an opulent compound and in front of a mansion. Henry pushed the door open and got out of the car. He glanced around the area and recognized it instantly.
"Come on." A rugged looking man with tattoos all over spoke as he led Henry into the mansion, and Mr. Luther could be seen sitting on a sofa in the living room while sipping wine.
"Henry, glad to see you again." Luther blurted out after catching a glimpse of Henry walking into the living room. Henry didn't utter a word as he just gave a nod in response and proceeded to sit on an empty sofa.
"What's with the long face, Henry?" Mr. Luther inquired after noticing the strange expression on Henry's face.
"The card didn't work alright." Henry informed as he took out the card and tossed it over to Luther who swiftly caught it and glanced at it.
He examined it closely for a few seconds before face palming. "Forgive me..it's my mistake. I gave you the wrong card." Luther informed.
"No problem, it's not like you owe me anything so there's really no need to apologize." Henry remarked, relaxing his back on the sofa with his two arms folded.
"To avoid any other mistake, I will just credit your account directly instead of giving you a card." Luther spoke as he typed away on his phone, and after he was done typing, Henry's phone chimed in his pocket.
Henry took it out and the credit alert of one million dollars displayed boldly on the screen.
"Wow, thanks." Henry appreciated it with a bow.
"That's nothing compared to what you will get when you join my business like we discussed earlier." Luther informed, causing Henry's eyes to light up In shock.
"What type of business and what will my role in the business be?" Henry inquired in curiosity.
Luther then leaned forward with a serious look on his face before responding.
"I am a mafia Lord." Luther informed in a cold and audible tone.
Henry's heart skipped a beat after hearing the words of Luther.
"Huh?" Henry blurted out, struggling to digest the news.
"Yeah, Henry. I deal drugs and other stuff. That's my business, and I would like you to join me in it." Luther elaborated after seeing the expression on Henry's face.
Henry knew how dangerous these mafia lords were, and how dangerous it was to associate with such people. Even if he was broke and desperately needed money, he couldn't go down such a dark path.
"I-i am sorry, sir, but I can't." Henry declined in a shaky tone.
"But why?" Luther questioned with a puzzled expression.
"I just can't. I can't afford to be a fugitive in this country. If I join, I will continuously live my life in fear that someone might show up at any time to slit my throat or throw me in jail. I can't, I am sorry for disappointing you." Henry explained in panic and cold sweat trickled down his face.
"Henry, I totally understand how you feel. But let me tell you, membership will make you invisible to the law, make you feared, make you wealthy and grant you everything you have ever wanted. Money? Beautiful women? Power? Everything this world has to offer. Our gang is at the top, no one will dare go against us, so do not worry about someone showing up to kill you." Luther remarked in a persuasive speech and his gaze fixated on Henry who had a troubled expression on his face.
After waiting for a few minutes and Henry still said nothing, Luther spoke further.
"I did some digging on you and found out you are several digits into debt and you have gone through hell your whole life. I know the one million dollars will cover up the debt and satisfy your needs for several months, but after that what happens next? You go back to your life of constant ridicule and humiliation from your peers and ex."
"But if you join my empire, Henry, I will make sure all that is put to an end. I will make sure you rise to the top and teach those who mocked you a lesson. I will make you somebody important. Somebody with value." Luther convinced with a serious look.
Henry still sat there in contemplation. What he wanted now was to get his revenge on Elena and Danny, and also on others who mocked and humiliated him day in and day out.
Joining a gang was difficult and dangerous because there was always a clash between other gang members. But after hearing the words of Luther and how he was invisible, he was convinced that joining might not be as bad as he pictured it.
"You are true to your word, right?" Henry finally uttered in a low tone.
"Every single word, Henry Barlow. There is absolutely nothing for you to be worried about, trust me. All I seek is a loyal man that will stand by me." Luther assured.
"Alright then, I'll do it." Henry responded confidently.

Hearing the words of Henry, Luther rose up from where he sat and walked towards a table meters away. He picked up a piece of document and walked towards Henry."Here you go. Sign this." Luther informed, handing the documents over to Henry. Henry retrieved the documents and pen and examined it closely."All you have to do is sign. Once you put in your signature you get a signing bonus of ten million dollars." Luther informed with a smirk.Henry gulped at the sound of the amount. He said signing bonus, not salary. If a bonus can be this grand he wondered just how much his salary would be.Henry read through the contract for a few minutes before signing it and handed it back to Luther. Luther glanced at it and nodded his head before making a transfer.DING*CREDIT ALERT: $10,000,000Henry glanced at his phone and saw the alert of the signing bonus instantly."Oh my God, this is..."

Mr. Pedro voiced out in anger.All heads in the area turned and they saw Mr. Pedro, the owner of the company walking towards the ongoing scene with his face bright red in anger.

Luther’s men went over to Pedro’s company and began tearing down the place. They scared away the workers and clients. They broke the revolving glass and used spray paints all over the building.“Dad I have called the police” Danny rushed into his father’s office. Pedro turned away from the window and walked to his desk.“It’s useless Danny” he said sitting.“Dad! How? How could you be calm when the company is going through chaos” Danny paced his father’s office. He was boiling in rage. He clenched and unclenched his fist. Henry was now a threat.“ You should have thought it through before you attacked that man” Pedro sighed. The calm he had on was pissing Danny off by the minute. “what?” Danny stared at his father with wide eyes. What the hell does that mean, he thought. He walked to his father’s high rise window and looked down. The police had not yet arrived and damage those men had caused was getting bigger. They had successful taken down the huge signboard of his father’s compan

Henry wanted to scream his innocence, but doing that could warrant something that looked his death, so he looked away. In his life, he had been accused of a lot of things but none of them had seemed so true like how it was now.He sighed inwardly wondering if he had made a grave mistake by joining Luther’s group. He gulped and focused on the conversation between Luther and the Russian man.“ Just a little advice, you have to weed the bad ones out” the Russian man looked at the goods and smirked.“ You are in no place to tell me that, why don’t you begin to weed yours—" and just like that, hell was let loose. There was gunshots blaring from the other side. It was like a dominos effect, everyone began to shoot. Henry ducked lower and didn’t peep anymore as he panted. His eyes wide. He saw as the others shot at the center and he did same. He wondered where Luther might have gone. The shooting went on for the next 5 minutes till everywhere went silent.

Henry opened his eyes. Call it shock or death, he didn’t understand why he dropped to the floor. The warm breath fanning his arm made it known to him that he wasn’t dead.He recognized the floor. He was still in Luther’s house. And clearly he wasn’t dead. He noticed some wet liquid on the floor. It smelt like iron. Then it clicked.Blood.He sprang up like one that had been stung by a bee. It was then he saw everything. Staring at the floor in front of him was Luther. He looked deadly. Ready to kill. His eyes glazed red and his nose flared. Henry followed Luther’s gaze and flinched. There was a dead man on the floor. He had blood oozing from the wound on his head. It’s his head. Obviously he was dead.When Henry looked away, he faced Luther. “Clean this up and all of you get out” he snapped and sat back in his chair.The men walked out of the sitting room. They went outside and some of them carried away the body. Luther wanted to know where they would dispose of the body. On a s

Henry stepped on the gas as he saw the sign of the hospital in sight. Relief washed over him. Henry knew that taking the front gate would warrant attention so he swerved onto the next street and took the back gate. He knew that hospital like the back of his hands. He knew the owner. This was because he was the one who had operated on his father and mother after the accident. Windsor was a good man. There was no way he would turn him down.“We can’t go there!” Damien turned in his seat. Henry watched as Damien’s eyes roamed through the brake and ignition of the car. Then when his eyes caught sight of a half dead Luther, his shoulders slumped. “ We can” Henry said. He didn’t know why Damien was against him. Was that owner of this hospital rivals with Luther? Henry wondered.“do you know him ?” Lukas asked.“ yes…he’s a long time friend” Henry stopped in front of the entrance. The security men stooped and stared into the car.“ Special delivery” Henry said.

The sun has just gone down as Henry and the other two men sat in the car. They were waiting. This was the job Luther had wanted to do before he had the accident. “ What time is it?” Henry asked as he put on his sun glasses. The sun was so hot that Henry began to sweat. He just wanted this job to be over. A lot had happened since today. He realized that he had by involved with the Mafia since childhood but the innocence that came from with being a child, didn’t let him see that. Is Luther testing me? That question kept ringing in his head. On their way here, the other two men said Luther never gave out jobs like this to new members. “It’s just a minute past six “ Damien said. “ He should he be out any moment from now.” Henry sighed as he dug through his pocket for his lighter. “ You can have mine” Damien threw the lighter at Henry and he caught it.“Thanks” Henry said as he took a long drag from the cigarettes. It’s been a while he smoked and right now he was tensed. He needed a

Henry tossed and turned in bed. It seemed like sleep had eluded him but only he knew why. Just before he walked into his room that night, he finally caught a glimpse of the lady, attending to Luther.Her dirty blonde hair shone in the light, as it cascaded down her back, like fresh water falls. She had an oval face with small lips. Her upper lip was slightly plump which gave her a permanent pout. He couldn’t say the color of her eyes because he was distanced from her. Henry should have put into consideration that she was family with Luther but right now, he was running low on good reasoning.He had quizzed his friends on the girl. They finally told him that Laura was not Luther’s biological daughter. It was said that Luther had lost all his family members in a fire accident. Including the nanny. Laura was the little daughter of that nanny. After the burial, Luther took her in as his and they formed a family.After series of tossing on the bed like a rolling pin and a smile han

It didn’t take long, Henry got off the phone.“I was watching the news” he said.Jackson smiled. “You see anything interesting?” Henry shrugged, “the same old jargon.
