JESSES POV I lay on the bed, I feel Benitas hand on my chest, she's trying to be seductive "I'm not in the mood". I said with a strict tone. She starts kissing me all over making moaning noises, I angrily sit up " I said I'm not in the mood". "Don't tell me Violet's matter is what's causing your bad mood?". I glare at her "Seem's like you dont know how serious this is, we are going to lose everything, and you-you are going to -". She starts laughing "Tell me, are you angry because you fear you'll lose everything or the fact Violet is still alive? are you now regretting your remarriage to me?". I clench my fist "I am thirsty". I get off the bed " You get some sleep first". I leave the bedroom. I go downstairs, I take a bottle of Vodka, I pour it into a glass, I drink it in one gulp". I throw the glass to the floor, it breaks and scatters on the ground. I feel like I'm losing it, I take the bottle and start drinking from there. I stop, I try to catch my breath, and I close my ey
LUTHER'S POV "Is this some kind of game to you?". The lawyer asked annoyed " How dare you try to lie to a lawyer!". "If that's the case, why did you set up a meeting?". He calms down " Because part of me wants to believe what you said on the phone is true". I smile "Well sir, I can guarantee you that I'm not telling a lie". I turn to the door "Violet, you can come in now". She walks in with her cane, she wore a black dress with red details, dark shades, and a black fascinator with red feathers on her hair I help her with a seat, she removes her shade " long time no see?". The lawyer almost falling to the ground, starts to stammer "Vi-violet?". She smiles " It's been a while huh". "You aren't dead". He starts to cry " Thank God, thank God". "You must have been worried, my father always talked about you, and how loyal you were". He closes his eyes "May his soul rest in perfect peace" he opens them "I'm so happy, where have you been for the past two years? everyone believes yo
Not forgiving is like drinking rat poison and then waiting for the rat to die. —Anne Lamott I never believed in revenge, I never wanted to believe in it, all my life I've been the good modest humble daughter my father raised me to be, and where did all that lead me? homeless with no family. I'm ready to drink that poison, even if it does kill me, I must make sure Jesse and Benita pay for what they did to me and my father, and of course my unborn child. "What!" Luther's mum exclaimed, "are you both crazy?". We were all sited at the dining table I shake my head "No, is true, Luther and I will be leaving soon, I was able to get back my assets, so I have a house and everything now". She sighs "I get that, but what I don't get is why Luther's leaving with you". I don't say anything, I hear Luther clear his throat " Well mum, I don't know how to say this but, Violet and I are in a serious relationship". Everywhere becomes so quiet that I heard a cricket Luther's mum suddenly starts la
LUTHER'S POV We arrive at the house. It was the house Violet grew in, the house I last worked in. It was still the same, still big, still beautiful, still vintage. Violet takes in a deep breath "Still has that smell, I can't believe father gave this to me". " Of course he did, it's your home after all". I watch her walk to the living room, and I follow her from behind. She reaches a point and kneels, she slowly uses her fingers to touch the ground "It was right here". " What was?" I ask out of my curiosity "Where he died, where he was murdered, it was right here, I remember it so clearly". I place my hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her "it's okay, everything is going to be fine, we'll figure out everything and make them pay for what they did to you". She smiles at me " Thank you, Luther". "That's enough now". I help her get back on her feet "We are going to need to track down the maid who claimed to have seen you, I'm sure someone put her up to it". She nods " Why do
VIOLETS POV Reporters start asking all kinds of questions, the Paparazzi attack me with their cameras. I try to be as brave as possible, I wear a smirk hoping my instincts were right, that Jesse and Benita are in total shock. Before I knew it I feel someone grab me and pull me into their embrace, at first I thought it was Luther, but as my head hits his chest following his scent, I instantly knew who it was, Jesse. "Honey!". He cries out " How is this possible?, I mean-I mean how did you manage to survive?, why didn't you call me?, I can't process anything that's happening". He starts to cry crocodile tears. I clench my fist, I felt my blood boiling, and I push him away from me "Get away from me you bastard!" I exclaimed, "You have no right to touch me!". He sobs " What do you mean?, I-violet, you have no idea how this situation is to me, I mean the world thinks you're dead, you've been gone for two years". He takes my hand putting it on his chest "Do you know how hard it was for
LUTHER'S POV "You did well today". I said with a low voice helping her take off her shoes, she's sited on her bed so she can get ready for bed, knowing how she is she would want to do everything by herself, but I can't possibly leave her, not after everything she went through, I swear I'm going to kill that two-faced bastard myself, he never deserved Violet from the start. " What's on your mind?". She asks bringing me out of my thoughts I get up "Nothing". She sighs, I take her shoes to the closet " You need a maid huh". "I can manage on my own". I shake my head turning to her "No, you need someone around you other than me, someone, to assist you, this house is way too big, what if I'm not around or I have an emergency? the thought of leaving you all alone-". She Jumps in" I'm fine you don't have to worry". "I can't help to, this house is full of your best memories and your worst ones ". She remains quiet "I'll interview some girls for the position tomorrow" I was about to leave
I throw bread crumbs to the Pidgeon, hearing the flapping of their wings put a smile on my face, this is the one thing that makes me happy. But then again, this is the place, Jesse and I had our first conversations, this is the place he told me he wanted to get to know me. Tear gather, no, I shouldn't be like this. "Hey, they seem to be a lot today". I hear Luther say with an exciting tone.Hearing his voice suddenly brought some sort of comfort "Are you okay?". " Of course I am, I'm just happy to be here". I force a smile "Well, that's great, I'm happy if you're happy". As soon as we were done, we go back to the house " What a day today ". Luther said assisting me on the couch " Yea, apart from Benita I think it was quite okay". I hear him sigh "You know, what Benita said wasn't wrong, it's gonna be hard taking your father's businesses away from him, he has everyone on his side". " I know, we need to get married as soon as possible". I hear him gasp "What? what is it?".
VIOLETS POV "Luther? is that you?". " Yes, it's me". He said with an awkward tone in his voice "I brought you breakfast, don't worry, I promise I didn't see anything ".I scoff. I hear him put down a tray on my bed ." By the way, this is Amanda, she's going to be your new maid". "Good morning miss". I stretch my hand towards the direction I hear her voice " Good morning, how do you do?". She shakes my hand nervously "I'm okay, a bit nervous". " I can tell". We both giggle "there's nothing to be nervous about, I hope we get along". " Me too" I hear Luther clap his hand "Alright then, I myself hope we all get along, I will leave you too now". Luther leaves the room leaving just me and Amanda. "You are about to have your bath yah?". She asked " Yes, I am". "Do you need any assistance?". I shake my head "No I don't, but you can pick out an outfit for me ". " Okay, then I will". I take off my bathrobe and go to the shower. So far Amanda doesn't seem all that bad, she has a ple

Do you know how devastated Lisa was, you keep putting yourself in all sorts of trouble"I sigh "and if I had to I'll do it again, at least I know she's finally safe now, he's finally dead""What exactly happened anyway?"I shake my head "I really don't remember much, the last thing I saw was the car being crashed against mine, Violet must have distracted him, I got shoot at way too many times to remember much ""Well, the important thing is ... you are safe, it's been months, we almost lost you during the surgery way too many times" she drops the empty bowl on the table "I'm leaving soon""What?""I'm leaving Luther, I'm going to France, I'm hoping to start a new life there""I-I don't understand, why would you do that"Her eyes gets teary "I

May I remind you cases of
VIOLET'S POVIt's been months since I last spoken to Luther, I would be crazy if I say I don't miss him. I can't stop thinking of him, his voice, his scent, his warmth. But I believe this is for the best, I can't handle another person getting hurt because of me.I've had time to handle the business, Lexi and chairwoman Zara has been a good help, they even said they'll help testify during the trail.But it still sucks that alot of people still believe I can't handle my father's business, they try to hide it but they aren't really good at it, I hear their gossips, I hear their 'critics' I get them though, how can a girl who can't even see the world take on a huge responsibility.Well, they better get use to it, because I'm here to stay.

For some reason those words made me upset, I grab him by the collar " Where were you anyway, if you were doing your fucking job my daughter would be home sleeping!"."Calm down, I admit it, we were very irresponsible, but it all happened so fast. After you and Violet went upstairs, we suddenly heard what sounded like a cat, she said she was going to check it out, I told her to be careful, I didn't think of this happening at all, next time I know, everywhere becomes quiet, you suddenly pop
