LUTHER'S POV

The video was everywhere, video of our engagement was going crazy on the internet.

I smile looking at my phone, this is exactly the kind of attention we needed.

"Hey, Luther". I hear Gary call, I was waiting for him in a dark alleyway

"So, did you get them?".

He nods "Yup, they are still rookies but they do have a clean background".

" Good then, it's about time we had guards around her, now that the public is aware of her situation ".

"True, but why do you draw attention from them then? if it's risky why make everything public?".

" let's say the best way to catch a mouse is simply putting a piece of cheese in an open room, what he doesn't know is the cat is just around the corner".

"Wow, you are terrible at this".I smack the back of his head " ouch!" he whines

"You deserved it, I would like them to resume as soon as possible, thank you for your help".

He grinds "What are friends for? I do owe you big time"

"Yea you do, don't worry I will save you a special seat

    LUTHER'S POV I play my music using BT speaker and I turn up the music all the way I enter my shower having my mini-concert. As soon as I was done, I turn off the music. "Shit, I forgot to bring a towel with me" I sigh "good thing I stay alone". I come out of the bathroom, I clean my foot on my rug, as soon as I enter the room I hear my door shut, I see Violet trying to pull her robe out of the door, I was about taking a step back when she suddenly loses her balance Without thinking I rush towards her and we both end on the floor, luckily she was on top of me. I feel the warmth of her bosom on my bare chest, I feel my heart beating fast. I suddenly feel her hand on my crotch, damn what is she doing?, she tightens her grip, I take in a deep breath trying to control myself, she suddenly let's go when she figures out what she was holding " I'm sorry".We separate from each other, she holds her robe together with her hands. I stutter "What-what are yo-ou doing here?". "I-i just". She

    Amanda helps me with my dress, I had a red sleeveless fitted dress on,she does my makeup and helps me put on my jewellery. The jewellery I had on were diamonds, they were my mums. my father gave them to me as my wedding gift, it was the jewellery he gave her when he proposed to her, when he made his first million. I never wore them, I always just touched them to admire them, I never took them to the house with me, I left them with my father, and I'm glad I did, these are way too precious. "All done". Amanda said excitedly "How do I look?". I turn to the guards Kat replies "You look lovely". Alvin follows "Beautiful ma'am". Then Leo responds "Stunning". I let out a sigh "Good then, thank you". I wonder what it feels like to look at one's reflection, be satisfied by the way you look, and not just count on the words of people. The doors burst open " Are you ready?". It was Luther, I nod "Let's go then". He takes my hand, I wear a genuine smile. "Be sure your eyes are all on Viole

    "Don't you dare touch her"I said glaring at Benita, giving her my death stare She gulps "I was just-just stretching". She awkwardly starts stretching Jesse clears his throat to get our attention "I apologize on my wife's behalf, congratulations on your engagement". I noticed Violet looked lost in thoughts "Thank you". I shake his hand, even though it wasn't stretched out "Please, enjoy the rest of the evening". I take Violet away from their presence, Leo rushes towards us "Take Violet to her room, I think she has had enough for tonight, I'll take care of the rest". He bows "Okay sir". "Will you be okay?, I can stay a little bit longer, you can't possibly handle all the guests by yourself".

    "Is good to see you're doing okay Violet". The lawyer, Mr Cameron said with a cheerful tone in his voice, I'm sited in his office, the place has an old newspaper kind of smell, and that of ink as well. I wore a black dress on red bottom heels, I even have a black hat on, considering the occasions today black was the best choice. "I'm sorry his taking long, he should be here by-". The door suddenly burst open " Jesse, nice to finally have you here". He takes the seat on my left "Sorry I'm late, I have better things to do". The perfume he has on is sharp, it's messing with my nostrils, Jesse knows how sensitive my nose is, could he have done it on purpose?. I bring out a handkerchief from my bag "Well, I haven't been waiting that long, excuse me". I blow my nose. The lawyer clears his throat to get our attention "Well, we all know why we are here, let's just get on with it". He places a paper on the table. he takes my hand putting a pen in it "you have to sign here". He places my han

    LUTHER'S POV My mum constantly glares at us, Violet and I were sited directly opposite of her in the living room, I gulp "Mother, can we get your blessing now?" I feel cold sweat on my forehead, my legs felt cramped "No". She replies rather blunt. " Please?". I ask nervously. "No". Well begging doesn't do anything " Well fine, like I need your blessing, Violet and I will just get married without it". I get on my feet "come on Violet we are leaving". I take her hand and forcefully drag her " Stop!". My mum yells before we could walk out of the door, I smirk a little "let's talk about it". I knew this would work, my mum can't stand the idea of me leaving again. Violet and I go back to our position."Can I ask you one thing?". " Of course mother". "Do you love each other?". Violet turns to me, I give her a look and sigh "I-I do". "That doesn't sound sincere, I just hope you are getting married for the right reason, Violet, you of all people should know what marriage is like

    LUTHER'S POV"Get out of my house!" A woman screams as she throws things at us. Violet was on her knees in tears, begging and asking for her forgiveness, I was next to her as well, Except I wasn't on my knees, I was covering her, protecting her from the things the woman keeps throwing. "Enough!" I yelled at her "Don't you think you're taking things too far? Violet wasn't the one who killed your husband, why is she getting punished for it". "Why did she offer him a job in the first place? Why did she let him save her! He has a wife, he has children! Two years later you walk into my life like nothing happened and you're asking for forgiveness?, Go to hell!". I clench my fist, Violet just keeps saying I'm sorry, the fact she's taking this hurts me, I hate seeing her this way." Violet never asked him to do so, the job was to take him out of the street, would you have liked it if your husband died a criminal?" she doesn't say anything, I let out a sigh "You aren'

    "You got it?". I whisper to Gary, we were at the lonely alley we normally met " Yes". He hands me a tablet "Thats the kid, Andrew King". I look at his profile on the tablet and Scoff " He really is something, Military?". Gary nods "He's been in the military all his life, so he's highly skilled, Jesse needed someone with great stamina". I swipe the tablet and see a woman "Who is this?" "That there is the reason he got himself into this mess, his grandmother is the only family he has, she's been battling with cancer, I guess he needed money for her treatment". I give Gary back his tablet " I wonder how much he got paid, I must have caused him some trouble huh?". I lean against the wall of an incomplete building Gary sighs "Well, that's how the boss roll, that's how he gets people to his side, he looks for people with the biggest weakness, that way he can do whatever he wants with them without getting a single scratch" I laugh "I knew that guy was sick from the moment I laid eye
