LOGINLutherI was in a terrible mood when the Finleys came here. Not even in my wildest dreams did I expect them to make this trip. I held myself back from snapping their necks or even giving the order for them to be gunned down where they stood. However, there was no reason to rush it. I would take my sweet time to torture that family as much as they tortured me back then. When I saw them cowering like the cowards they were, nothing made me more thrilled than the horror on their faces. To think the mere sound of gunshots caused them to be this shaken. Tsk! What if they had a gun pointed at their heads? How would they even have reacted when everyone around them breathed their last? I bet those two hadn’t even seen a person bleed out before. Probably, the closest they ever got to a gory scene was a knife accident in the kitchen. They had the guts to ask me if I had experienced a shootout in the villa before. I went through hell when they all ganged up to eliminate me. I walked through f
Andromeda “B… Boss, I never spied on you. I never did anything like that. I swear it. I didn’t, boss. Please forgive me. This once I’ll do anything you say, boss. I’ll even bark like a dog if you want me to. Just let me stay. Please!!!” He said I was his pet, so this should make him believe me, right? I’d do anything to prove my innocence. I really wanted him to drop dead, but I wouldn’t do what he accused me of. I wasn’t that bold to begin with. How could I mess with someone who had Phyllis in his hands?“Okay.” Did he just say okay? Okay, to what? Xavier paused and looked toward Luther, just as I did. Right now, I would do anything for his forgiveness. I was too impulsive earlier. I should have known he would set a trap for me, even when the villa was under attack. He was that evil. I didn’t have any plans and carelessly tried to escape just like that. What was I even thinking? I never acted this impulsively.“You say you’re sorry, huh?” He looked me dead in the eyes, amusement
Andromeda“B…Boss…” My chest felt so tight that I dropped to my knees and held onto my breath in silence. “I…” Even when I finally got my voice back, I couldn’t say a single word.Meanwhile, the man whose mere presence tormented me this way didn’t give a damn about anything. All I smelled was the thick scent of smoke from his cigar. The air around him was obviously colder.“Did you forget any personal belongings?” What! What personal belongings? I came to this house empty-handed. There was nothing on me at the time. I couldn’t even tell where he placed my phone, so why would Luther ask if I forgot any personal belongings in the room? Shit! He knew it. He could tell I tried to run away but came back for some reason. “B… Boss, I… I…” Gosh! How on earth would I make him understand that I changed my mind and came back willingly? “Get out!” What! “Huh?” Did Luther just tell me to get out? To where? This is my room, for crying out loud. “Boss?” I finally regained my wits and called out
Andromeda Nothing frustrated me more than watching my pathetic self in the mirror. The person staring back at me had absolutely nothing to do with who I was. I looked like a shell of bones, one who had no fighting spirit left in her. Andromeda MacKnight was a force to be reckoned with. Nothing ever scared me apart from my father’s schemes. He was one person I never bothered to outsmart, because he was my blood. Every single elite in Solaria held me in reverence, because I was the envy of all the heiresses, while the heirs wished they were my man. There were never any scandals about me, and my perfect little world had no room for self-imposed struggles or troubles. I just loved my peace away from all the chaos of high society.My father was the trusted right-hand man of the President, who held immense power. He was so influential that some people had to go through him to get to the President. He could talk the ruler of this country out of almost anything. It was no surprise that I
LutherThe shameless pair didn’t know they were living on borrowed time. Tsk! They had the guts to come to my house just to demand more benefits. Hmmph! I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t say a single word about their supposedly injured son. All they wanted was more benefits. They could enjoy it while it lasted, for all I cared. As I descended the stairs, I watched as Bertha Finley cried those crocodile tears. She thought that I couldn’t tell how fake those were. She really believed their plan was as foolproof as before, huh? What a fool I was to cherish these vultures in the past!“Luther, my dear, what happened? Why did you drink again, son? Are you okay?” Tsk! Drink again? How ridiculous! When have I ever gotten drunk and misbehaved before? How would I dare to have a mother like this? Come to think of it, which vulnerable person wouldn’t enjoy such a fake favor?A small smile laced my lips, seemingly making me look helpless. Oh, they loved the helpless Luther, who looked to t
LutherWhen I told Andromeda to get off me, the embarrassment written on her face was golden. She felt more humiliated because her body reacted giddily to me just now. She must be thoroughly wet and dripping right now. Too bad I didn’t have plans of satisfying her treacherous desires.“Report.” I didn’t need to look at the caller to know who it was. I expected this call earlier, but I wouldn’t say it was late either. A small smile tugged at my lips as my subordinate gave me the details of the assignment I tasked him with. “Finally!” I exclaimed inwardly while putting on a flat expression. In the years following my exile from the Whitlocks, the first thing I learned to school was my expressions. I used to be a very lively and bubbly young man. Not many things could wipe the smile off my face, but in no time, reality hit me so hard that I didn’t even put in any effort to wipe it off. It was automatically gone. Many around me couldn’t even pinpoint the last time they saw me smiling.
