“Where are we going?” I asked Luther. “Get inside, darling,” he ordered me while opening the truck’s door for me. Before climbing I glanced at Cassius, who was watching us from a distance. I didn’t trust my husband not after knowing that he was a mafia boss. God knows what’s in his mind and where’ll he take me. Cassius gave me a nod giving me the green light that it was safe to go with his brother. I gave him a small smile and climbed into the truck and settled on the seat before fastening the seatbelts. Luther climbed into the driving seat and narrowed his eyes at me. “You don’t need to ask my brother when you are with me. You are my wife, not his,” he spoke firmly.I frowned. “If you ever consider me your wife!” I taunted. “I don’t trust you, anyway.” He said nothing and started the engine.“Are you going to answer my question? Where are we going?” I asked again.“Trust me, you’ll like it,” Luther replied. I sighed and gazed out the window. He drove through the hillside and ste
“I can’t believe you did all this for me?” I ran my fingers over his abdomen feeling his taut abs and chest.“I never thought that I would ever do all these things for a woman,” Luther said while his eyes fixed on the dark sky above us. At night we slept in hammocks that strung between two trees on the beach and fire crackled next to us. I could feel the warm ambiance of a fire with my husband. “I still couldn’t believe it, Luther.” I smiled and rested my head against his chest. “You are the most dangerous man I have ever confronted in my entire life.” “And still you’re lying next to me.” He laughed while running his hand over my back. “I don’t know I feel good around you. You’re very attractive.” “So are you.” I could feel a smile in his voice. “Thank you for bringing me here.” “Thank you for being with me here,” Luther replied. “Can I ask you something?” “Sure.” “Why me?” I peeked at Luther. “You could have any woman.” “Not every woman feels like you, Noelle.” “What do I
“So how was your trip with your devil husband?” Cassius asked while feeding hay to the horse.I smiled when the thoughts and memories of Luther were refreshed in my mind. I never thought he would ever change. He was so gentle and protective throughout the journey. I had never seen this side of him. I just loved the way he made love to me every night, although we didn’t love each other. I liked his soft kisses and seductive voice, whispers in my ears. We even had a romantic dinner on the veranda with a view of the sunset. He even cooked food for the two of us several times. He had made me feel how important I was to him. I can not believe it because all these things were happening so fast. “What do you have in mind?” Cassius pulled me back to the present and gave me a questioning look. “I asked how your trip was?”I smiled and tucked my hair behind my ear. “It was fun.” “Fun?” He frowned.“Romantic, I guess.” He threw me a knowing smile before stepping inside the barn. After a momen
I jumped up in fright when I found a man on my bed.One side of Luther’s lips pulled into a smirk when he caught my pale expression. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you,” he said and rose to his feet. “Gosh!” I sighed and placed my hand on my chest, feeling my wild heartbeat against my palm. “You just scared me.”“As I said, I didn’t mean to harm your….” He stepped up to me and rested his hand right against my heart. “Little heart...” He whispered, gazing into my eyes intently.I gently pushed his hand away and walked over to the wardrobe, feeling his intense stare piercing my back. Ugh! I just got out after a shower and found my husband sitting on my bed in the middle of the night.He must have been thinking I was crazy, who was taking a hot bath at midnight. But I wasn’t able to understand what to do. I could not sleep properly since I met my brother. My brother’s gloomy face flashed in my head whenever I closed my eyes. I had talked to him twice since our last meeting, but only t
I walked downstairs and strolled straight to the dining room where Cassius was enjoying his breakfast all by himself. When he heard the click of my heels, he looked up at me.“Good morning,” he greeted and gave me his charming smile. “Did you sleep well?”An unwanted pain gripped my chest when last night’s images surged in my head. A few hours ago Luther and I were happy in each other’s arms but after Juliana…I sighed exasperatedly and pushed her thoughts away and plopped down into the chair next to Cassius.“I slept well,” I lied and forced a smile. “What about you?”“I slept well and dreamed of you.” He chuckled and gave me a wink. “Kidding!!” He explained when he caught my grim expression. He stabbed his fork into the roast and cut a small slice off, and took it into his mouth.I looked at delicious food; scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, toast, and pancakes.“Why don’t you eat?” He grinned when he noticed my eyes. “You must be hungry. Help yourself, sweetheart.”I hesitated a mom
“You’re the sweetest brother-in-law,” I said while smiling at Cassius. He grinned widely. “I wish I were someone else to you.” “Someone else..?” “Boyfriend or secret lover.” He gave me a wink. “My asshole brother doesn’t deserve you.” I laughed, shaking my head. “You deserve someone better than me.” “No one is better than you, Noelle. You are just an amazing person.” “So are you,” I said and turned to the window, looking out. “Where are you taking me?” “Where would you like to go?” Cassius asked. “The same place we visited last time. That restaurant is so good and they serve really delicious food.” Guilt settled on my chest when I realized I was using Cassius for my benefit. I met my brother at that restaurant last month. And again he wanted to meet me there.“How about we go to some other place? Because we have been there many times. I think we should go to the seaside and enjoy the seafood. What do you think?” Cassius suggested.“No, I want to go to that restaurant..” I said
I paced back and forth in the room, growing restless with each passing hour. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t understand how to help my brother without betraying my husband. My brain and heart were in great conflict with these two people.My brain wants my brother back, but my heart doesn’t want to betray Luther again.I’d promised Ned that I would hand him Luther’s Mac within two days. But I wasn’t able to make the right decision. I was confused. I was very confused. Should I help my brother? He wanted my help. I still remembered his face. He looked so wounded and shattered and lost. He was broken and helpless. He and Winifred had lost their first child. It must have been painful. Did Luther torture them? Why didn’t he tell me he’d found my brother then? Huh, why would he even tell me? Who the hell am I to him? I sat down in the chair and put my head in my hands as my throat thickened with sobs. My mind wandered back to that day when I’d learned everything about Luther.‘Luther ma
I turned my head to Luther, who was lying next to me and sleeping soundly. His arm wrapped around my waist and his cheeks pressed against the pillow. I lifted my hand and gently ran my hand through his messy hair. I gazed at his lips that were slightly parted and small snores were escaping from those. I smiled and moved my hand down on his handsome face which looked charming, without a deep frown between his brows.My phone beeped with a text message. Sadness crushed me when I realized who could text me at 4 A.M. Ned! I had to leave Luther forever! I had no choice. I’m sorry Luther.I leaned over and gave a peck on his lips. I gently held his hand and placed it on the pillow and leaped to my feet. I tiptoed to the wardrobe and removed a pair of jeans and a top before disappearing into the bathroom. After a while, I got out and tied my hair into a ponytail, and grabbed my handbag. Suddenly, Luther’s shiny pistol caught my attention. I approached the nightstand and grabbed it. It was
Ten years later...“Where are Edwin and Xavier?” Noelle asked Luther who hugged her from behind, kissing her shoulder. “I love your smell,” Luther groaned while inhaling her scent. “I love everything about you.”Noelle smiles while pouring batter on the griddle. “You still didn’t answer me. Where are Edwin and Xavier?” Luther sighed, turning me around and looking at me. “They went to town with their uncle.” He stepped up to her, staring down at her. “We need some time alone, don’t you think, baby?” A sinister smile played on his lips. “How about on the kitchen counter?” “I’m making pancakes for the kids," Noelle said, turning around. “They will be here at any moment.” “I instructed Cassius to spend as much time as he can with our kids.” “Luther…” Before Noelle could speak further Luther grabbed her ass and sat her on the kitchen counter. “Luther…” She tried to speak but Luther quit her with a kiss. They kissed hard, rough and fast. “I missed you…” Luther groaned before tearing h
Noelle gripped Xavier tightly. Tears filled her eyes as she glanced at her husband but he was nowhere in sight. “Where’s Luther?” she gasped, looking everywhere. “Where’s Luther?” She repeated in shock. Cassius and Winnie looked around them but he was nowhere to be found. “Oh my God! Where’s he?” Noelle broke into tears as her heart throbbed harder and harder under her chest. “Noelle…” Cassius grabbed her weak body sitting near a tree. “He’s gonna be fine.”“Is he…” Noelle swallowed hard, looking at their burning mansion. “Is he inside?" “No, he’s not inside the mansion. I saw him when we got out together,” Winnie said, taking place next to Noelle and squeezing her shoulder. “Luther!” Cassius called out his brother’s name, looking around the quiet forest. “Luther!” “Luther!” Winnie went in another direction, calling his name. Noelle looked at Xavier who seemed strangely silent, watching her mother with his big eyes. Noelle forced out a smile, caressing his small lips. “Daddy is f
Ethan rips Noelle’s clothes and makes her cry in dread. She threw her legs and arms to save herself but nothing worked out. “Now you’ll see who the real monster is…” He sneered before removing his clothes. Noelle squeezed her eyes, waiting for an opportunity. She pretends to be helpless as she throws her arms and legs at him. As she eyed the lamp on the nightstand, she grabbed it and slammed it against his head as hard as she could, causing him to scream in pain. Grasping his head, Ethan hissed out. “Bitch!” Before he could take action she banged it again on his head and kneed his balls hard. He fell on the floor, curling in pain and gripping his balls. “You…fucking bitch!” He spat. Noelle got off the bed, staring at him down. She grabbed her dress and put it on. She pulled out a knife from her hair before pointing it at Ethan. “Move!” She gritted out at him. “Do you think I’m scared of your toy?” Ethan laughed darkly, sitting back on the floor. Noelle clenched her jaw and slit
Noelle was moving ahead but then Luther called her, “Noelle!” She stopped, turning around. Luther rushed to her, grabbing her face and kissing her breathlessly. Noelle responded, smiling between their kisses. “I love you, Noelle.” “I know…” She mumbled, burning her fingers in his hair. “I love you so much, Noelle…” “I know, Luther.” “I love you more than anything…” “I know,” she breathed out. “You’re brave, no doubt.” Luther withdrew his mouth, gazing at her intently. “But I can’t risk your life.” He licked his lip, glancing at her mouth like he wanted to kiss her more. “Can I come with you?” “You’ll need to handle everything here,” Noelle said. “He is dangerous, Noelle…” “So are you, Luther? You’ll not let anything happen to me, I know. I trust you…I love you…” “Just remember one thing, we have two babies to look after…” Luther ran his fingers through his messy hair nervously, glancing at her tummy. “Just give up on your plan if you think things are getting out of han
“Sonofabitch!” Luther gritted out before releasing another shot. That time Ethan dodged and rolled to another side. He pointed his gun at Luther and shot repeatedly. Suddenly the entire living room was filled with bullets and screams. Cassius grabbed an opportunity as he took Winnie to the corner of the mansion. “There is a basement here that leads you to the forest. Noelle was waiting for you with Xavier. Just go there and let her know Luther is with me. She doesn’t have to worry about us.” “What if I betrayed you again?" Winnie asked him quietly. “You trust me?” “Just go, Winnie!” Cassius ordered her, scowling at her. “I’m doing this for my child, just for my child. If it is…” He pointed to her stomach. “Not inside you I would have killed you with my own hands.” Winnie turned away as she couldn't tolerate looking at him as he was showing such disdain for her. “I’m sorry,” she whispered to him before turning around and heading toward the basement. Cassius watched her leave wit
The particles of the gate blew through the air. Cassius quickly covered Noelle and Xavier’s bodies with his, bending down on the ground. “Fuck! They are here." He breathed out, glancing at the doorway. Winnie was nowhere in sight. “We need to get out of here.” Noelle looked at the mess in the living room. Slowly, men in black uniforms spread across the room with their guns. “They are many…” she whispered. “How do we get out of here?"“We don’t have time to think, let’s go now." They slowly crawled to the ground so that nobody could see them. Xavier was crying, but Cassius made him stop with his favorite stuffed toy. She walked downstairs, tiptoeing and covering their mouths with their hands. “Where are they?” A man demanded. “Don’t tell me you just tell them about your truth, bitch!” Cassius looked at the living room and saw Winnie just standing in front of a blonde man who was tall and sturdy. Cassius glanced at his men and counted them quickly, and there were around ten people st
Winnie tiptoed into the backyard where Ethan was waiting for her. He was in the same black suit and skull mask on his face. A sinister smile pulled across his lips when he saw Winnie coming out, scared. “I know you would do that for us my dear sister.” He moved toward her but Winnie backed away from him, shivering and sweating profusely. “Just don’t come close to me!” She warned him, clutching a blueprint against her chest. “Go away.” “If I don’t come near you, how will I get that blueprint, sister?” He slowly stepped towards her, making her heart race under her chest. “First you’ll listen to me carefully.” She swallowed hard, stepping back from him. “You won't burn the mansion.” “You know fucking well that I’ll not be interested in your damn chit chat,” he growled, getting impatient with her behaviour. “Now hand me that damn blueprint, bitch!” “I won’t…” She stuttered, making her way back into the house but he lunged at her and grabbed her hair, pulling her toward him. She screa
Winnie went into the bathroom before splashing cold water on her face and washing her neck. She bit into her lower lip to stop herself from breaking into a cry. She looked at herself in the mirror and at his fingerprints on her neck. She brushed it with her hand in irritation but she knew it would not go away. She rushed out and grabbed her makeup box before removing a concealer. She started to put it on her neck to hide marks. She glanced at the doorway checking out if Cassius was coming but he was nowhere in sight. She gave the last touch to her makeup, looking at herself in the mirror. Everything looked fine to her. She was about to move toward bed but then…“Fuck him! Fuck him!” Cassius barged inside and banged his fist on the wall, growling wildly like an injured animal. “He’s not ready to fucking listen to me. He just fucked up! I hate him! How could he do that!” Winnie watched her husband banging and thrashing his anger on walls, chairs and lastly on his cell phone. She would
“You’ll do what I’ll ask you to do, okay?” Luther said to Noelle. She gave him a nod and they walked out. “First I need to find out who was the person who was doing this to us. I swear, I won’t let go of him in one piece.” “You need to calm down, Luther. If you keep losing your shit you won’t be able to work out our plan,” Noelle lectured him which made him raise his eyebrows. “So let’s start the drama.” Luther winked at her which brought a little smile to her face. “What the hell is this, Luther? You just cheated on me, how dare you fucking bastard!” Noelle screamed while grabbing Luther by the collar and glaring at him. “You just cheated on me. How can you do this to me?" “What is happening here?” Cassius and Winnie got out of their room, looking at them in confusion. “Who cheated on who?" He asked, looking at Noelle and Luther.“He just cheated on me.” Noelle walked up to Cassius and showed him the video. “Do you know this woman?” Cassius said nothing and watched the video car
