"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.

"Hello?".

A smile slowly appears on my face "Hey kiddo, thought you weren't talking to me".

"Can I come stay with you?".

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?" "Yea, it's just a day break" I nod "Oh I guess that makes sense". I've been homeschooled all my life I don't know anything about teachers' day. "I'm sorry for invading your home like this". I fin

She raises an eye brow "Okay? ". She said with a confuse tone and facial expression I let out a sigh "You are going to tell the board that you know where Mr Chad hid is treasure". Her eyes widen "What treasure? What are you talking about?". She ask to whisper "You just have to trust me, if anyone asks just simply tell them Violet told you, and if they ask what it is, just beat around the bush". "And this is going get them off my back?". I nod "it's not like I have evidence that my uncle was the one who sent the threat, going to the police wouldn't do me any good, so I'll just do what you told me, but, what is the treasure? if I may ask and why would telling them that conserve me?"."

I said to her rather blunt, she adjusts herself and sits properly on the bed, she wears an ugly frown on her face. " I might as well just get myself a lover at this point". I scoff "Do whatever you want". I open my wardrobe and bring out my pyjamas " I have news". She gets up and walks close to me she gently puts her hand on my shoulders and caresses them "What news?". Her hot breath on my neck makes my skin tingle " I'm pregnant". Her words echo in my ears, I suddenly feel shaky. "You're what?". I turn to her and I see her amused expression " I'm pregnant!". She said with a bright smile "How did this-huh?". The smile on her face slowly disappears "Is there a problem?". " No-its just, the news, it came as a surprise, I'm happy".

We were finally done and ready to go home, I walk Violet to the car "You go ahead I'll be home late today". Violet wears a concerned expression on her face "Is everything okay?". "Of course, I just need to take care of something personal that's all". "Are you sure you aren't hiding anything from me, Luther?". I could see how worried she was just by the look in her eyes, but what can I do? I'm not doing this because I want to, is because I have to, to keep her safe. "it's nothing to worried about okay?, you just go home first, I'll be there soon". She enters the car, and Leo gives me a bad eye I force a smile when I face him "Drive safe". He ignores me and just drives away. I let out a sigh. Andrew runs to me"Sir, are you ready?". I nod "Get the car". He turns
