Luther strode toward Xavier’s room where Noelle was sitting on the couch, playing with her son but she paused when Luther barged inside and unannounced, glaring at his wife. “Dadda…” Xavier ran to his father as soon as he saw him and lunged at him but Luther’s attention was on Noelle who was still sitting on the couch and staring back at her husband. “We need to talk,” he said roughly and grabbed Xavier who was throwing his little arms at his father. “It’s your nap time, honey.” He put Xavier on his bed and sat next to him. He forced out a smile for his son, ignoring the burning anger running through his veins. He closed his eyes, letting out a frustrated smile before looking at his son. Xavier frowned and grabbed his father’s hand as if he could feel tension in the room. After an hour of struggle Xavier fell asleep and Luther headed straight to his room. Noelle was on bed, her face tense as she looked at her husband, wishing him to cool down. “I told you it’s not like what you see
Noelle was unable to fall asleep so she walked to the balcony inhaling fresh air at midnight. She hugged herself when she felt a chill on her skin. Looking at the moon, she smiled at it. “How could you manage to look always beautiful in the light of the sun? Even the sun couldn’t look as beautiful as you with its light.” Noelle smiled, recalling old memories of when she and Ned used to sleep in the backyard, staring at the moon and counting infinite stars. “I wish you were there for me,” she sighed. “I have nobody to talk to, Ned. I felt like I was paying for my karma. I killed you and it’s slowly killing my happy family.” She stared at one of the brightest stars in the sky. “I know you were shining there… You've been a good brother, Ned. You were just brainwashed. I’m sorry I didn’t want to kill you but I chose the father of my baby over you.” Suddenly her phone chirped with a notification. Frowning, she checked her cell phone and found a clip from an unknown number. She clicked on
“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
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
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
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
“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
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
