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: $10,000,000

Henry glanced at his phone and saw the alert of the signing bonus instantly.

"Oh my God, this is..." Henry was truly speechless. He has never had such a huge amount of money in his account before. Before he met Luther, the maximum money his account had ever received was $200, but after knowing Luther for only a few days he was a millionaire.

"Like I told you, membership will make you rich and invisible, as long as you are loyal and hard-working." Luther affirmed with a smile.

"Thank you, sir. Just tell me what I need to do. Anything." Henry bowed down his head and appreciated it.

"Well, tomorrow morning I will need a total of five people to escort me to a certain area for business. You will be among the five, Henry, so do not be late. A car will be sent to you by 8am to pick you up." Luther informed as he rose up from where he sat.

"N-no problem, sir." Henry responded.

"Do you have anything you want to do after leaving here?" Luther inquired.

"Nothing really. I just plan to head back home and spend the rest of the day doing nothing." Henry responded.

"Since you have nothing to do, I would like you to head over to Pedro Companies and get me a pass from the CEO." Luther ordered.

"A pass?" Henry questioned with a puzzled expression.

"Yeah, a pass. The pass will be needed for our operation tomorrow. Once you head over to the Pedro Companies, show him this chain he will recognize it and know I sent you." Luther tossed a small gold chain over to Henry.

Henry caught the chain and glanced at it. The chain seemed to be made out of pure gold and had a gun and knife shape at the edge.

"No problem, sir." Henry stood up and bowed down his head respectfully before exiting the place.

The Mercedes Benz drove Henry back to his area and he got off and began to head towards the Pedro's Companies while glancing at the chain in his hand.

After walking for a few minutes he arrived in the company and began to make his way in while glancing around. The place was filled with different individuals who were clad in expensive suits walking here and there.

"You again?" A familiar voice sounded from behind, causing Henry to turn around and see the couple he ran into at the mall. Danny and Elena. 

"What do you think you are doing here?!" Elena demanded with her face bright red in anger.

Henry wasn't surprised to see Danny in the company since his father owns it.

"I am here on an errand." Henry responded as he turned around and walked into the company's building through the entrance gate.

"HEY!" Danny called out, hastening his footsteps and caught up with Henry. "Do you fucking know where you are right now?"

"Look, guy, I am not in the mood for your rubbish right now. I am only here on an errand that's all." Henry frowned as he turned around and attempted to leave, but Danny held his arm and snatched the good chain off his hand.

"Ah, I see. You are now dating the company's cleaner and now you are here to give her this cheap nonsense." Danny mocked, glancing at the chain, his expression mixed with disbelief and surprise.

'This stuff looks like actual gold..and why do I have this feeling like I have seen this symbol before?' Danny pondered internally while examining the chain in his hand.

"Give it back!" Henry demanded, his voice filled with anger.

"And what if I don't? Your smelly girlfriend will break up with you if you do not give her this? Well, oops." Danny then ripped the chain apart with all his might and tossed it to the ground.

"No!" Henry voiced as he knelt down and picked up the ruins of the chain. The symbol on the chain was still intact, but the rest was ripped apart. His blood began to boil as he gazed at the chain.

This was his first mission assigned to him by Luther and this just had to happen. This would only make Luther think he is incompetent and it was a mistake signing him.

"You fucking bastard!" Henry roared, rising back up to his feet and sent out a punch towards Danny's face. The punch connected neatly to his right cheek and the force behind the hit sent him flying a few meters backwards.

"A lunatic! Someone call the security!" Elena shouted right where she stood and the staff around went to go get the securities.

Henry made his way towards Danny who was still on the floor and trying to recover from the single blow. Henry grabbed Danny's hair and forced him to his knee, sending out another punch to his face.

Henry's fist jammed into Danny's face and knocked him back back down. Henry tried pulling him back up but security arrived on time and grabbed his two hands tightly and cuffed it behind.

While Henry was being restrained by the security, the remains of the chain fell to the floor and landed in front of Mr. Pedro. Mr. Pedro picked it up and glanced at the symbol on the chain.

"What have you guys done to my guest!" Mr. Pedro voiced out in anger.

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. Catching a glimpse of his father, Danny stood up from the floor with his nose bleeding and rushed up to him."Father, look at what this lunatic here did to.." Before Danny could finish his complaints, Mr. Pedro slapped him real hard on the face and caused him to stumble backwards."How dare you all harass an important guest like this! Do you have any idea what punishment might befall this company with what you all have just done now?!" Mr. Pedro voiced with boiling rage.He recognized the symbol on the chain as Luther's empire and was fully aware of what would happen if he knew one of

    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’s heart beat loud in his e

    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

    “ Yes!” Henry did a little dance in the center of their shared living room. Laura had agreed to go on a date with him.“ I think she likes you” Damien said as he scrolled through Henry’s phone. He was showing them their chat. “ You think?” Henry stopped dancing.“ I know man. This proofs a theory I had known for a while. If a woman likes you, she makes it easier to woo her” Lukas said and Damien nodded in agreement.“Well aren’t I lucky?” Henry said with a shrug. That night yet again, he couldn’t sleep. He rolled to one end of his bed with a big smile plastered on his face. He hadn’t been this happy about a woman in a while. Maybe this was a sign. It was a start of something good. Laura didn’t look deceitful like Elena. She had money. Her adopted father had loads of it. Luther was effing rich. She didn’t need a man with money just like Elena did. He felt that he was on the right track. The next day started on a good note. Even the sun agreed to cooperate. It wasn’t hot like it

    The next day Jackson walked into Henry’s office with a cup of coffee. He saw that henry was on the phone and the TV was tuned on. The TV volume boomed a little too high but Henry didn’t seem disturbed. Jackson squinted. He looked around the office and found the remote, as he dropped the cup beside henry’s arm. Henry nodded in gratitude as he continued speaking.Jackson tried to put off the TV but Henry raised a hand. 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. All they do is talk but they never act.” He sighed. “Now you can put it off. Just as Jackson moved to do so, he stopped.“Boss is that not Danny?”Henry looked up from his work. The headline was a picture of Danny’s father and the news. It read; GLANCH GROUP OF COMPANIES HAS BEEN DECLARED BANKRUPT.

What the hell was Henry talking about.“Yeah whatever” Danny scoffed. “ I am out of here” He began to walk out the door when Henry stopped him.“Don’t you want to know what treacherous thing I have done? “ Henry smirked.“ I do not want to know and I don’t care” Danny snorted.” As if you can do anything. You can take your treachery and shove it up your ass”And with that he exited the room.

Jackson filled him on what had been going on behind the scene with Marcus.On his way to work that morning, Henry could not stop himself from thing about what Marcus had done.

Shit! I had slept in again and I would get late for work.

    “Aargh!!!!” Laura crashed the table at the center of her cell. Dominica had given her news, Stephen and Lucas were already dead.“Morons! I asked them not to attack like that!” she huffed, as she slammed her hands on the table. Her nostrils flared as she paced the tiny cell. She was getting more frustrated by the minute. First was Marissa falling in love? She decided to teach her a lesson. Now all her plans have gone to waste, with the death of these two men.“If only they listened” she muttered. Laura knew her father. While she was there, when he was alive, she had seen how proactive Luther was. He always thought ahead. That was why he was victorious in most of the impromptu attacks in his house. She was able to shoot him because she knew how things worked. Now she was away, she was sure Henry must have taken a leaf out of her father’s book. Always preparing on time.“How did they die?” Laura asked out of nowhere.Dominica went silent for a while. “Most of them were gunned down by a
