JESSE'S POV

I met up with the minister in our guest lounge

"How has it been so far? Made any progress yet?". He asked taking a sip of his alcohol

"Unfortunately we haven't been able to, but dont worry I've got someone on the inside".

" You better be quick about it".

I nod "of course sir".

He sighs resting his back comfortably on the couch "I heard Mr chad's daughter is married now, you know what that means, your position that is".

" I do, and I trust you are going to take my side, as long as the board and shareholders are on my side I can secure my position, Violet is blind and incapable of running her father's business, her husband has no idea either he didn't even finish high school, I can use that as my defence".

He nods "Good to see you got things figured out".

I smile " You have no idea". My Secretary clears his throat to get my attention, he whispers in my ear

"Sir there's an emergency meeting being held with the boards right now".

My eyes widen "What?". I f

He scratches the back of his head "So, what do you have for me?".I toss him a black suit "How do you feel about being a bodyguard?".He smirks " What's the pay like?".I smile at him "Beyond your imagination, but there's a catch".He raises an eyebrow "What's that?".I walk toward him putting my hand on his shoulder " You are going to high school". He pushes my hand away"No way I'm doing that"."You don't have a choice and it's the only way to protect you and give you a life".He shakes his head " Nah, ain't no way I'm going to school"."Look kid, you can't expect to live your life like this, you don't even have a place in society, people like Jesse will keep on using you"."Like you are?

    VIOLET'S POV "Are you comfortable?". I asked concerned Luther was sited on the leather executive chair, I sat opposite of him " I think you should be the one here Violet, I am just your eyes remember?". I smile "Well, you won't be forever. Don't worry about me, I'll be right beside you". I guess when I mean it won't be forever it means as long as this marriage continues, I don't know why but deep down it makes me feel-this isn't just about me. I hear him sigh " So, where do we start?". "I'm way ahead of you, Jesse has been trying to get the Boilers to partner with us, Lexi is her father's only heir, and her brother is in Rehab. The problem is men, well the board, they don't believe a woman is capable of running such a big business, so I'm very sure Jesse must have said something to her to piss her off". "Do you think she'll reconsider if we approach her?". " She might, if we are smart enough to say the right thing, so far his father still runs things, but hea slowly leaving

We hear a lot of locks, and the big front door slowly opens. We enter the house and it's bigger on the inside, it looks like those rich Indian houses.

I was about to enter the office when I see "Lana?". She raises her head and her eyes widen "Luther? What are you doing here?" her desk is right next to the office. "I work here now, wait, you work for me?" She smiles a little "I guess so, I'm the secretary to whoever works in that office. Of course you have others". I nod "I see. You're fired". I immediately enter the office. She storms in "You can't just fire me without a reason". I take my seat crossing my legs on top of the table shaking them "How about this, the fact you work here bothers me". She shrugs "I don't give a flying fuck. Luther, for once think about me, if not think of Lisa, how else do I feed her huh?" "You can get another job, you are a graduate". She scoffs "Yea but this is one of the best jobs, the pay here I can't get anywhere else".

    "So she agreed to Partner with us?" Violet ask curiously I open the fridge bringing out a bottle of water "Not exactly we're still on the talking phase". "I guess you can handle things without my help". I open the cap and drank in one gulp "Yea.. I told you I'm good at convincing people". She giggles, I throw the empty bottle away. "She's a lot like you, you know". Violet scoffs "She's better, she knows how to carry herself". "That's it, she knows how to hide her fears, that doesn't make her better than you sweetheart". She doesn't say anything "I'll go to bed now, Join me later?". She nods, I go to our bedroom. I take off my suit, my phone suddenly rings, I pick it up. "Hello?". "Dad". A smile slowly appears on my face "Hey kiddo, thought you weren't talking to me". "Can I come stay with you?". I scratch the back of my head "Why? Everything with your mum okay?". "Yea...

She said in her pitched voice I smile knowing who it is "How was your night Lisa?". "Good, I slept well, Amanda has been good to me". "That's good to hear". I carefully search for my fork, Amanda puts it in my hand. I hate when things like this happen in front of someone, it makes me feel incapable "Thank you, Amanda". "Just doing my job". I let out a sigh as I eat my breakfast, scrambled eggs "So you have school today?" "No, I don't it's teachers' day ". I nod "Oh, uhm there's something called teachers day?"
