The Formidable Luthan King Is Back Chapter 32
Before he had met Camille all those years ago, Luthan did not know that he could be so smitten by someone. He didn’t know or believe the amount of power love could have on a person. If he was a poet he would have written so many poems about her. If he was a novelist, he would have written an entire library in her honor. But he was none of those things so instead he made a promise to himself to make sure that she smiled every single day. He made it a point to make her smile every single day. He bought gifts almost every single day. He surprised her with expensive things, dates, trips and everything that he could afford. He bought her flowers, he took her shopping. He learned to cook and learned jokes just for her sake.He knew that he had to make money to keep pampering her, most of his motivation to be a successful businessman was from her. He wanted to make money so that he could give her anything that a man could get for his woman. It was quite the shock to come back and see her pre

Luthan had had enough time to fully address the thing with Camille’s betrayal. He had thought over and over again about the betrayal that he had faced at the hands of Camille. He had found himself thinking many nights that it would’ve been better if Camille had simply betrayed him for the money. He could’ve hated her for it but not as bad as he did knowing that she had willingly walked into his brother’s arms because she had been attracted to him. Even before they got married, Camille had actually liked her brother and the feeling had apparently been mutual. It hurt knowing that the woman you loved so much and would’ve done anything for didn’t quite love you as much. Didn’t even love you enough to not hop into another man’s bed while you both were still married.He had asked himself quite a few nights, when he couldn’t sleep, if he still would’ve loved Camille and taken care of her had he known, before the prison thing that she was into his brother. The answer was, unfortunately, the

“What did you mean, Camille?” Luthan asked they were seated again. “When you said he wanted you to steal from the Carters and that they had illegal money?”“You have to protect me Luthan,” she said. “Heaven knows what they could do to me if they found out that I know let alone that I told anyone. I’m not saying anymore until I know that you are going to keep your promise to protect me. I know that you can certainly.”Luthan gave her an almost deadpan but contemplative look to match the expectation she had of his reaction. He knew what she wanted to do even though she was going about it in the most roundabout way possible. She wanted to offer him information on Arthur and the family if he would give her some sort of security against them. The fact that she had yet to sign the divorce papers made it harder to believe that she didn’t have any personal ulterior motives. He could only laugh at the thought of her still hoping but he couldn’t cross out the fact that this could all be part of

“You done throwing your tantrum?” was the first thing Arthur said to Camille when she got home. He’d either just gotten home himself or he had been waiting for her. Both of those possibilities did not bode well in her opinion. If he had just gotten home then who knew what extra problems he’d gotten the family in and if he had been waiting for her then who knew what wild thoughts he’d been cooking up in his head and they are not likely to be the good kind.She did not respond to his question, it was better for handling the situation that she was in. She just walked straight to her vanity and began to take off her earrings.“Camille listen,” he tried again. “I know I got rather aggressive there when we were talking and I’m sorry but what is happening to our family is much bigger than that. It’s much bigger than ego and pride. I know Kimberly is not the sweetest person on the block but she is close enough to you and that makes you the only person who can make this whole thing work. What

He could count those lashes and he found that he wouldn’t mind sitting down for however long was necessary to count them. They fluttered as she blinked and looked away slightly. That snapped him out of his daze and he looked away as well. He cleared his throat and began to take off his jacket and tie.“What are we going to do now?” she said, taking his coat. “It’s not very healthy for you to be eating this late.”Luthan looked at her, at the slight pink tint on the tips of her ears and had to suppress a tiny smile that was attempting to grow on his face.“I can just eat a little,” he suggested.She shook her head a little reluctantly.“Come on,” he said. “You spent time and effort in making a meal for me and knowing your cooking skills, it would be my loss to miss out on it. I’m sure I can have a little. Is it a very heavy meal?”After an endearing look at him that she probably didn’t do on purpose she shook her head slightly.“Alright then,” he said and took the suit jacket from her

Camille was having a girl’s day out with Kimberly Carter and some other friend of Kim’s called Phoebe. She had no idea how her husband had managed to set this up but it seemed he’d called in a favor that the owner of the beauty house owed him. This spa was called The Goddess’ Pool and was extremely famous and exclusive. Even Kim herself struggled to get access to the spa more than once a year. Kimberly was very happy to receive the gift card and was being extremely pleasant with her. Camille would’ve been happy to have an opportunity like this a few months ago but now she seemed to have a permanent sheen of sweat and it wasn’t because of the sauna at all.Dressed in comfy silk robes with towels on their heads, they walked into the massage room to find that their masseurs were quite a sight for sore eyes. The other woman Phoebe whistled and unabashedly raked one of the men with her gaze from top to bottom.“Ugh,” Kimberly grunted. “You’re a married woman, Phoebe.”“And you’re not yet y

It was a good thing that someone grabbed her before she could get to Mary Lynn, she might have done something she would surely regret. At the time though, she could feel the frustration and she struggled against the person restraining her. Mary Lynn flinched a little bit but quickly regained her composure. Camille regained hers quickly as well when Kimberly whispered from behind her; “Don’t make a scene or you’ll get us kicked out of here.”Camille adjusted her robe and raised her chin. Kimberly assured the staff that there were no problems and everything was under control and luckily they left without giving them a lifelong ban from The Goddess’ Pool.“So,” Kimberly began, crossing her arms casually. “Are you here to buy this place as well? That’s what you’re known for these days, after all.”“No,” Mary Lynn said then gestured to the robe she had on. “I’m here to get a beauty treatment and a relaxing massage.”“You’re very mouthy now aren’t you?” Camille sneered. “You wouldn’t have h

Hours after she got home, Camille was still wondering how she ended up being a triple agent. It all started with her trying to suck up to Luthan as a form of self preservation when it became clear that she could not rely undoubtedly on Arthur. When she realized that he could change from the person she had always known at the blink of an eye and that if he did she would have nothing to fall back to and no one on her camp. That had somehow turned into her spying on Kimberly for both Arthur and Luthan. Now Kimberly wanted her to spy on Luthan for her. She’d be stupid if she didn’t make the most of this opportunity.In a situation like this she obviously had to work for the highest bidder, anything other than that would be extremely stupid. The person with more to offer was obviously Luthan but at the moment the person willing to offer the most was Kimberly. Anthony wasn’t even in the bid because he wasn’t offering anything. She knew that she had to maximize what she could get from Luthan

Camille didn’t say anything just yet. She looked straight at him and thought about what expression would be best to tackle this situation.“What I want to know is why you have targeted two members of my family,” David looked down at her. “What is it that you want from my family Camille?”“I don’t know what you want from me,” Camille began, finally settling on a blank expression. “I’m sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting to make some huge discovery but-”“Do you have anything to do with the amount of money that the Carter family just lost?”Although he interrupted her, the question did not take her by surprise, luckily. She was prepared for him to ask her something like that so she furrowed her brows at just the right moment and there was no way that he could get anything from her expression.“I might be a dumb bimbo according to you,” she finally said after looking confused for an adequate amount of time and shaking her head as though to shake away the confusion. “But even I

The wait until they could get their hands on the money was excruciating. According to Arthur, the guy who did the entire technical job to get them the money dictated how and when the money would be available for them to use. Camille chose not to ask questions because she got to face Kimberly everyday and she was afraid that she was going to slip up and spill something if she knew too much.When the money finally got into his hands he behaved so normaly that Camille would not have been able to tell that he recently got so much money if he hadn’t told her himself.“Don’t tell anyone,” he had insisted. “We have to keep everything on the down low so that the Carters would not be suspicious of us.”“But you have to give Jordan Reigns his money soon enough or he’s going to take away the family company.”“We can wait just until we have to give him the money.”Camille nodded along to his plan, happy that the money was available at least. She could now save her worry for other important things

By the time Kimberly came downstairs Camille had already hurriedly set the table and pretended as though she had taken her time with the process.“Took you long enough,” she said.“Sorry, I had some sudden and important calls that I had to make,” Kimberly apologized. “Hope I didn’t keep you long?”“It’s fine,” Kimberly said. “I had my phone with me.”Camille kept having serious anxiety about what had just happened. Her mind kept playing a scene in her head where Kimberly came downstairs while she was in the closet with Alexander and saw all that was happening on her computer then hurried upstairs afterwards to keep the charade. She comforted herself by reminding herself that someone like Kimberly Carter would not pretend for any reason if she found something like that out. She would’ve directly walked to the closet and dragged Camille out of it by her hair and since that never happened, she was safe.They ate the meal they had made and discussed. This time Alexander was not invited to

In less than two weeks Arthur would have to deliver on the deal he made with Jordan Reigns. Tensions were high and Camille was proud of Arthur for keeping his cool in spite of what was going on. She had actually decided that if he couldn’t raise the money on his own until the last minute she would support him. Thanks to Luthan’s money, she had enough to spare. But she was going to hold out until the last minute because she didn’t want Arthur or Anthony to know that she had that much money at her disposal because as much as she loved being taken care of, she knew trouble when she saw it and no amount of love will make up for security. Having money to save herself and her children should the tides turn —or rather, should the situation get worse— was something that could not be compromised on.While they waited for the big day, the day when they could finally carry out the plan to take from the Carter family, Camille knew that she had to get some information to give to Kimberly. She met

Camille turned around, frightened. It was one of Camille’s brothers. She thought quickly and immediately brought her hand to her chest to explain her reaction. “Gosh, you scared me.”He looked at her suspiciously. “I don’t think we’ve met and it seems you were looking for something?” he ended it like a question.“Yes,” Camille said, fixing her hair casually. “The bathroom.”He looked at her, gaze unwavering. “I don’t think we’ve met.” He said.“We have but you probably won't remember me because I was not the most important person in the room.”“I doubt that I would forget seeing someone like you,” he blurted and there was silence for a few seconds as they both processed his unplanned words. His ears reddened and he coughed and Camille immediately recognized an opportunity. She wasn’t getting into trouble this time. She quickly regained her confidence and slipped a strand of her hair behind her ear.“I was at your grandfather’s birthday,” she said.“Ah,” the man muttered. “I see.” His

Camille wore her absolute best on the day she went to see Kimberly. She didn’t want to appear broke and shabby, of course, so she secretly went shopping. She bought the latest clothes and new shoes, bags, make up and jewelries. She felt the exact same way she did when they had so much money and none of the debts they had now. Now that she thought about it, they were riding on Luthan’s money then and she was still dressed in Luthan’s money now. She was not one bit ashamed, especially after she got such a surprised stare from Kimberly.Kimberly came to meet her at the door after the maid let her in. Her eyes widened into saucers but she quickly got her expression under control. She must have gotten used to seeing Camille in clothes that were not quite the latest fashion styles among ladies of class.“You look fantastic Camille,” Kimberly said, giving her a quick hug and an air kiss. “Is that Carla Ortega you’re wearing?”Camille spun around to give Kimberly a good look at her entire out

“Where the hell have you been?” Anthony crossed his arms, he had not yet recovered the body weight he lost in jail so he didn’t look as intimidating as he usually did but Camille knew that Arthur had to be terrified. She was scared herself.“I’ve been out of town looking for the money to pay the Reigns so we can get our company back.”“And how did that go?” Anthony asked.“I got seventeen million dollars,” Arthur said. His stance looked very confident and that was an impressive amount. Camille would’ve been more impressed if she wasn’t entitled to half a billion dollars as Luthan King’s ex wife. So much had changed since Luthan got back from prison to the point that Arthur coming home with seventeen million dollars in a matter of days is considered not so impressive. Perhaps that was the influence of a billionaire on them, now even their problems come in hundreds of millions of dollars.“And where, pray tell, did you get that amount of money from?” Anthony said looking thoroughly unco

“Luthan?” Came the voice through the phone.Of all the people, of course it had to be Camille. If he had looked at the caller ID he wouldn’t have picked up the phone. He’d have told Mary Lynn that the call was not important because it really wasn’t.“What is it?” he asked as he went up the stairs.“No need to speak with that tone,” Camille’s voice came from the other end of the line. “I’ve got good news.”Any news at this point would seem like terrible news. A lot of angry words circled through his brain but he inhaled deeply and said only one word, “shoot.”“I got invited to the Carter house, it’s insane!”“It’s your job,” he deadpanned. “It’s what you were supposed to do in the first place.”“I don’t remember you paying me for it,” she grumbled, “now you’re calling it a job.” “How about you give me some results, then we’ll think about it.” Luthan said. That clearly made her happy.“Now if you don’t have anything else to say,” he said then hung up as soon as he was sure that that wa

Luthan stood and watched as her car drove into the distance. The sun was setting and he had to return home soon. He didn’t really come all this way just for a meeting with Camille. He had something to discuss with someone important concerning his business and since Camille had insisted on seeing him today he figured that he could use that to his advantage.“Sir, shall I get the car ready?” The butler, Matthew, asked. “Miss Mary Lynn should be returning home soon.”“Yes, please.”Matthew nodded and walked away. After a while, he returned to let Luthan know that the car was ready.“Mr. King, I hope you don’t mind me asking but why did you offer her so much money?” The Butler asked. “She cheated on you, helped steal all of your assets and properties and pretty much left you for dead.” Matthew had worked for Stanley Flair until the man passed away so Luthan Knew that he could trust him. “Matthew, have you ever wanted to get something really bad but found out that it was far beyond your
