This smell, am-am I in a hospital?. I try sitting up but I instantly feel a sharp pain.
"Hey, don't do that, you'll hurt yourself". I hear Jesse's voice.
I start crying "Jesse, is that you? I was so scared.... I thought I was going to die". He gives me a hug
"I'm so sorry honey, I'm sorry you had to experience that".
I sob "it hurts so much, she-she tried to kill me, that girl- Benita, she tried to kill me!".
" Hush..., relax, no one did baby, you slipped and you fell". Those words echoed in my ears, You slipped and you fell.
Someone walks in, I hear a finger snap, it was my father.
"Father!" I cried out
He wore a worried tone in his voice"Oh, look at you, what happened?, I got a call from Stella, she told me you have been rushed to the hospital, I didn't know it was this bad, What the hell happened!!".No one was saying anything, I didn't say anything." isn't anyone going to say something? in a house full of maids and my daughter falls down the stairs, what could've caused this?".
Jesse clears his throat "She must have slipped father".
Hearing him say that got me angry.
My father laughs " Slipped? for 24 years, Violet hasn't slipped and fallen down the stairs, why now? why at your care son?".
"I-i don't know father". I could tell from Jesse's voice he was afraid, I know my father gives him a hard time when it comes to me, everyone knows my father is very protective of me.
"Let's leave her to rest, she needs to recover quickly, as soon as she recovers I want you to send her home!". My father leaves, and I hear Jesse running after him.
I start crying, why is this happening to me?.
My father was about to enter his car when Jesse stops him
" Sir, I'm sorry, it's my fault I wasn't home".
"I told you that if you ever hurt my daughter in any way you were going to answer to me".
Jesse goes down on his knees " Please sir, I promise it won't happen again".
"You'll step down your position as director, first thing tomorrow morning, and please, bring my daughter home".
"Please father, this wasn't my doing, I promise, it won't happen again"
My father gets in the car and drives off.
" Shit!". Stella appears
"I was told you asked to see me ". Jesse instantly gives her a slap on her face, he starts kicking her and throwing punches at her to the ground.
He yells at her " You bitch! why did you call him! why did you do that!". He goes back pouring out all his anger and frustration on her.
The next day, I was discharged from the hospital, I was taken home, and I was assisted up the stairs because for some reason I couldn't climb them by myself anymore.
I got to my bedroom, some maids comes to see me.
"Are you okay?". One of them asked.
" I'm fine".I gave a blunt reply
One of the maids spoke up "We were so worried miss, we are so sorry, it just suddenly happened".
" Did you guys see her? the one who pushed me?". I asked curiously, they all remained quiet
Another response "What do you mean miss? you must have slipped and fell". Hearing those words.
" I didn't, I didn't, I know what I am saying, someone pushed me, and I know it was her, I smelled her!".
My door suddenly burst open "enough!" Jesse exclaimed, "I don't want to hear you say that, I don't want to hear it!".
I could tell all the maids had run out "Why are you yelling at me!, I'm the victim here!"
"What's your proof huh? that you smelled her? or you heard her breathing? for fuck sake Violet, you are blind you don't know what happened! stop making things up!".
I was so angry that the tears that rolled down my face felt hot "I never imagined the day I would hear you say that, I'm blind, I don't know huh? well let me save you the trouble, have fun living with her, my father wants me home". I take my staff and I walk to my wardrobe, I take a suitcase and open it, any clothes my hand touches I threw them in.
He laughs maniacally"Oh, so you're leaving me?".
"Looks like it!".
" Go ahead, run to your precious daddy, may I remind you, you are supposed to be my wife?, you are supposed to be there for me?, since I got married to you, I've been threatened by your father, now he expects me to step down as director and send you home, and you-you are just going with it, It's always about you, not about me, I mean you're the one who needs special care right?".
I angrily threw the clothes in my hands at him "What do you want from me!". I exclaimed
" I want you to be my wife! I want you to be by my side! I want us to go through everything together!"
I try to control the tears rolling down my face "I love you Jesse, more than you can possibly imagine, I don't want you to leave me, I want you here with me, here by my side". We were both breathing heavily as if we had just raced a horse, I hear Jesse sigh of relief
He gives me a hug " I know, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry for not being here, I'm sorry for what I said, I love you too honey". He kisses me on the lips and I kiss him back, and like that we made love again, it's become a habit of ours.
I followed Jesse to meet my father.
"Father," I said getting on my knees with Jesse
"Violet what are you doing!?" my father exclaimed "Get up, don't do that, please".
"Father, as Jesses wife it's only right for me to stand by his side, I'm married now and I'm now his responsibility, please don't take me away from him, what happened wasn't his fault, it was mine-i-i slipped and fell, I wasn't cautious, so please don't punish him for something he didn't do".
My father groans " Violet, you are married now, I know that, that doesn't mean you should go through anything by yourself, I'm still here for you, your father will always be here for you, if that's what you want then, Jesse can return, and you can go back with him, but if anything like this happens again, I won't listen to any excuse". My father walks away.
I let out a sigh, my father definitely isn't happy.
"Thank you so much Violet" Jesse hugs me "Thank you, honey, I love you so much" he kisses my cheeks.
Thomas Hardy once said 'There is a condition worse than blindness, and that is, seeing something that isn't there.
In this case, I had to assume the person who pushed me was nothing more than my mere imagination.My father was angry with me, he didn't speak to me for days, I tried calling but he didn't respond. I don't regret my actions, he needed to understand that I am now Jesse's wife, and it's only natural for me to stand by him. At least that's what I thought. I didn't feel like myself for days, I kept convincing myself that I did the right thing, but for some reason, the scene kept playing in my head, the smell, like it was hunting me. I've been in my bedroom for three days now, I haven't been able to leave, I guess I'm still shaken up. "Miss, this came for you," Stella said handing me a box. "What's this?". I asked curiously "I guess some item, it was sent by mail, it's for you miss". I open it, I bring out the item, it felt hard and small, I couldn't quite tell what it was "What is it?". I could hear Stella scoff a little "It's an ID cane miss". "Huh? from who?". " it doesn't quite say".Why would anyone send me this? "Uhmm, give it to me then, I'll keep it" I hand it to her
I moan softly as Jesse slowly releases and falls back on the bed, we were both panting "That was epic," he said with a bit of excitement. I dont say anything "What is it?" he asked concerned "What do you mean?" I replied rather bluntly. "You've been acting so weird lately, are you okay?". " Yes, just had a long day, that's all". "If you say so then, I'll hit the shower". He gets off the bed I let out a sigh. There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. By Soren Kierkegaard I have been trying to convince myself to forget everything, to look at the bright side of things, but I don't think I can, it's killing me. Seems like my husband's mistress is hiding, she does as if she isn't in the house, the only time you hear her is when my husband is fucking her. I decided to visit the pool in the house, water always helps me relax. Stella assist me in getting in the pool, I start swimming, I felt like my troubles w
I felt super sick the next morning, I was throwing up like crazy. Jesse opens the door and rushes towards me, He touches my forehead "You have a fever?". I don't say anything "must be because of all the crying, I'll call a doctor, go back to bed and rest, I'll have the maid get your breakfast". He rushes out and bangs the door. Sometimes I wish I could see my reflection, to see how I look, to see what I look like, to know exactly what's wrong with me. A doctor checks on me, and he lets out a sigh "Well, what's wrong with her?" Jesse asked curiously "She's pregnant, congratulations". Hearing the doctor say those words, my hands immediately touch my tummy, there's a baby growing inside of me. "Pregnant?!" Jesse exclaims with a confused tone in his voice "Yes, it seems like she's been stressed out lately, please try to take very good care of her, I'll be leaving now, again, congratulations to you both". The doctor exit the room leaving just me and Jesse. He scoffs "You're pregn
Three months passed, and it felt like I was stuck on some time wheel, I went through the same thing over and over again, Jesse spent more time with his lover, and I spent my time reading and listening to audios on raising a child. I miss that early stage in our marriage when I would wait up for him to come home so we will have dinner together, I miss being excited when I hear the sound of his car, I miss us making love together and holding each other's hands when we fall asleep, even though they might not have meant much to him, it did to me. Jesse's family is coming over for dinner tonight, Because they want to see me, I am carrying their grandchild after all. I told my father the news about a month ago, and he already sent enough baby things for me to start a sales job. I made sure the maids set the tables and made dinner to their taste, they are very picky. 8 pm sharp and I hear the doorbell, Jesse quickly stands next to me and wraps his hands around me, it made me feel uncomfor
"Honey can we talk?". Jesse said entering my room, and shutting the door. I had just come out of the shower. "Sure what do you want to talk about?". I remove my towel and I noticed he turns away, I smile " What's wrong? not like you haven't seen me naked before". He awkwardly laughs "I forget that you easily notice movements, almost feels like you aren't blind at all". I walk closer to him, I place my hand on his chest, the other on his shoulder, I slowly move my hand from his chest down to his dick. I whisper in his ear "Being pregnant has its way of making someone feel so darn horny" I go down on my knees, I unzip his pants "Oh god!" He moans as I bring out his cock that's already as hard as a rock and put it in my mouth,I could feel his whole body shaking as I make enjoyable noises while sucking his dick, he starts moaning out and using his dick to choke me, I remove it from my mouth instantly and get on my feet. I take off his jacket, his tie, his pants, his shirt, and his
I feel light touch, I open my eyes, and to my surprise, I see my hands, I start to panic, What's going on? I see someone approaching me, a man with rich grey hair, he stops in front of me and snaps his fingers, my eyes widen "Father?", he smiles at me, my eyes gather tears and I hug him "Oh father, I was so scared, I thought I lost you" tears freely flow down my face, I use my hand to wipe the tears, I wear a bright smile " I can see your face, isn't that great! I don't know what's happening" He touches my face and kisses me on my forehead, suddenly everything becomes blurry "What's this?, why can't I see you anymore?" I stretch my hands "Father!, father!" I cried out "Father!...." I gasp sitting up straight "Where am I?" I hear a plate drop "She's awake!" I hear a girl scream out. I can't tell where I am, there's this odd smell, like dough. I try getting on my feet but I instantly fall to the ground, I noticed my hand was connected to a drip. "Careful" I hear a familiar voice say,
I gasp waking up to an awkward smell of flour. I let out a disappointed sigh with the realization that everything that had happened to me wasn't a dream. I blame myself, I was the one who decided to marry Jesse, I'm the one who decided not to do anything when I found out about his adultery, I was the one who let Benita stay with us, I caused Jack to die, he saved me, I wish he didn't. Memories came back to me while I was asleep, I recall everything that happened. I hear a knock on the door "come in" I said in my weak tone I sense little footsteps "Sorry if I disturbed you" is that girl's voice again "It's fine, what brings you here Uhm?". " Lisa, Lisa Benjamin-Kim". She has the same last name as Luther. "I came here to ask if you wanted breakfast" "I'm not hungry, thank you". " Why?" She asked in her high pitched voice "I don't feel like it, but thank you". I hear her sigh "Are you, Luther's daughter?". She replies instantly "Yup" "Oh, then I guess your mum is-*. "My mum
I could not stop thinking about what Luthurs mother told me, I hold my tummy, it's sad I didn't at least get to see my baby's face "Hey" Luther said out of the blue catching me by surprise "Jeez, you fucking scared me" He puts his finger on my lips "Shss...language, there's a little girl in the house" I scoff pushing his finger away "She a teenager" I try standing up, Luthur assist me "thanks" "I got you something" He hands me a cane "I know it's nothing fancy like your staff, at least it would help you" I smile at him "Thank you Luther " he takes my hand "Let me give you a tour of the house, so you'd get used to the place" I nod excitedly JESSE'S POV "And lastly sir, you'd need to hold another meeting with members of the board," My secretary said showing me my busy schedule on his tablet "Okay Ben that would be all, Just make sure you send me those files I asked for" "Okay sir" I watch him leave, my wife walks in I wear a smile "You are still here?
LUTHER'S POV"I swear the next time I'm waking up in a hospital will be when I'm 95"Lana rolls her eye balls as she feeds me another spoon of oat "You almost died, do you know the amount of surgery you went through.... 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
Violets POVLeo and I finished dinner "I think I'll go to bed now " I said getting up "Uhmm okay, I'll help you ""I'm fine Leo, I'm serious ""Okay then...Kat said she'll be here tomorrow so make sure you be careful until then, I hate to have to leave you alone"I shake my head "Leo there's nothing to worry about, I'm fine,serious"He sighs "Okay then "I go to my room, I lay on my bed and just drowned myself in self pity, why am I doing this ? Why does nothing good happen to me? Why can't I just sleep and not wake up to see another day of my useless life.I suddenly hear a sound , it came from downstairs . "Did Leo not leave!?"I get on my feet, I take my staff and go back downstairs "Leo? Is that you? Didn't I tell you it was okay for you to leave I'm really fine-" I suddenly had a stench of a familiar scent..my eyes widen ,my body shivers ...is this even possible? No it couldn't be, I'm dreaming "Why did you stop? Did you finally realize that is me?
LUTHER’S POV“Let’s make one thing clear ‘Minister’ your sick game is over, you are in jail and you won’t be coming out for a long time, why don’t you confess your sins so the good lord will at least have mercy on your rotten soul”.He scoffs “You really think I still have a chance with the good lord? Well I’m not telling you anything, as soon as the trial starts I’m going to talk about that night and how you let those innocent family die”I bang my hands on the table “You can’t be serious! I swear you are going to hell, you better fucking tell me what happened that night or else”“Or else what ?” He’s confident, too confident, I can’t even think of a threat anymore …I gulp “How is it you know what happened that night if you weren’t involved with the incident minister?” I turn to see Ana.I felt so much relief “Seems like you don’t know the consequences of your actions or do you think the case has been buried and can’t be investigated? 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. The media can't get enough of me, with everything that has happened I mean who can blame em. But it's hard... I feel like some kind of top notch celebrity.I went to pay respect to Alvin family, it hurts me that another person lost a lif
Luther's POVI slowly open my eyes "Hey!" I heard a familiar voice exclaim "Oh Thank God, you're awake" another said"What's going on?" I groan"You've been out for so long". I still couldn't see the person talking to me"What? How long?"."Two years!".My eyes suddenly widens "What!".The person starts laughing "I'm kidding you've been out for two days tops, men am I glad, you scared the shit out of us". My vision starts to clear, I finally see Andrew and "Lana?.. What are you doing here?". She scoffs as she slowly wiped the tears off her face "You really think that I would just ignore... What were you thinking Luther? Risking your life for a someone who doesn't even want you". "What are you talking about Lana". She aggresivky grabs the envelop on the mini table next to me "This is what am talking about!". "Uhmm he's just recovering I'm not sure you should be telling him this now". I get confused "Telling me what? What is going on?". I manage to sit up and
Luther's POV"Hello... I'm Luther Benjamin-".Jesse instantly cuts me off frustrated "Cut! Just skip to the part where you say you planned the whole thing!"I can't continue like this, Lisa won't make it if we go on like this, I need to figure out something. God, please if you can hear me, please help Lisa you can punish me but please don't punish Lisa."Luther! Start the fuck over!".I was about starting over when "There they are!" I hear a familiar voice say..it was Alvin and Andrew... I honestly didn't know when tears flow down my face, I felt a glimpse of hope, I look up "thank you". I mumbledJesse smirks bringing out his gun "You are not going to ruin this for me". Next thing I know he starts shooting at Alvin, Andrew quickly brings out a huge pruner and uses it to break the lock... I quickly pick Lisa and hand her to Andrew "Run as fast as you can to the nearest hospital, run! Don't stop until you get her safe"."Wha-at about you, you're as cold as ice"."Don
"The Police got Benita Harrison, and now they're on the lookout for Mr. Harrison himself, who seems to be on the run, word just got out that there has been an accident in the Minister's home, a gun shot-'' "What is going on Lexi?" A sick old man asked"I don't know anymore father, I don't know anymore". ********* LUTHER'S POV "Daddy... I'm so cold" Lisa said shivering with her very dry skin and lips almost bleeding I immediately removes my shirt and I give it to her and move her closer to my body "There there daddy's going to get you out of here". "please hurry... I don't think I can take it any longer.. I'm soo" her eyes slowly closes I panic and immediately start shaking her "Lisa.. Lisa..wake up... Lisa!" no, no this can't be happening "Lisa! Please... LISA!..... Help me! Anyone! Please help me" I hear foot steps...i couldn't be happier, it turned out to be Jesse, he was dressed in a black jumpsuit and had a black face cap on, he was panting heavily, almost like he has been
LUTHER'S POV"Luther, what are you doing?" Stella asked frightened"I'm done with this bullshit, tell me where my daughter is or else, I swear I will shoot you". "You don't mean that". I take the gun and shoot up, leaving a bullet hole on the roof of the car, I take the gun and place it on her forehead"Okay, okay I get you're upset and -" "Tell me where Lisa is". "I will take you there myself, I promise, let's go now okay". I slowly put the gun away as I start the car, stella takes in a deep breath almost collapsing. VIOLET'S POVWe were sited at the minister's house, I felt my whole body shake" Hey are you okay?". Leo asks concerned, he places his hand on mu lap"I'm okay, I'm just, a little shaky"."Don't worry everything is going to be fine, I promise". I suddenly hear the sound of the minister walking towards us,I gasp getting on my feet" It's a surprise,I didn't think I'll be seeing you this quickly, did you bring what you promised?
LUTHERS POVI hear a faint sound as my eyes slowly opens, it becomes clearer and soon I start to read the room "Luther are you okay?" Violet ask with tears all over her face, I was in the living room.I immediately get on my feet "Lisa!" I exclaimed but I loose my balance and fall on the ground, the guards help me up "Take it easy, you just regained consciousness". Leo said worriedly" I don't have time, they took my daughter, those bastards!"."Still, stressing yourself won't make it any better". 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
