Divorcing my billionaire husband, his best friend wants me Chapter 55
ASHER. I sat on the couch, nursing my glass of wine, the liquid burning my throat as I swallowed hard. Life was useless. Super useless. I lost everything, everything and more. I don't know how this happened. I don't know how I ended up with a fake agreement and now, the news about me and Cassie was all over the internet. That was super scandalous. Our investors pulled out and the company is currently at the verge of going bankrupt because of my carelessness. Cassie tried to approach me, concern etched on her face."Asher, please stop drinking. It's okay," she said softly, pleading. But I ignored her, my gaze fixed on the wine as I gobbled down another shot. Life wasn't worth living anymore. I felt super miserable. “Asher. Please!” Cassie pleaded, coming close to me. When she tried to take the wine from me, I pushed her away roughly."Stay away, Cassie" I growled, my voice barely above a whisper. "Do I have any reason to stop? Huh? Just stay away” I warned..The words hung in the

JOANNA. It was the day for me to finally resume work at the company. From the news, a lot of investors pulled out from Cliff industries due to the scandal. Luther and I tried to help but it wasn't just possible. They lost everyone's support. I dressed in a white suit trousers, my hair tied in a ponytail. I applied a little bit of makeup and a red lipstick always. It was my favourite colour to put on my lips. I halted my car in front of the Wright Group of companies. As I climbed out of the car, I was greeted by the familiar sight of my assistant, Gina, standing in front of a group of employees. It was my first day back at the company after a long hiatus, and I could sense the excitement in the air.Gina, beaming with a warm smile, held a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The moment I stepped out, the employees began to clap, their applause filling the atmosphere with warmth and welcome.“Welcome back, Ma'am!” They chroused and a huge smile crossed my lips. This was so thoughtful. Gina

JOANNA. "Yeah, I'm glad the whole thing is over," I said, taking a sip of my drink. "But Asher is still texting me, pleading for forgiveness.” I resumed eating once more. Luther's expression turned dismissive. "Just ignore him. He's not worth your time, I promise” I nodded. " I know right? He is such an idiot. Okay, enough about me. Let's talk about you. You said you were going to tell me about your crush before... what happened? I haven't got to hear it yet?” I asked him..Luther's eyes sparkled with amusement, and he leaned in, a hint of a smile on his face. "Well, I....Yeah, I said that," Luther began, a hint of a smile on his face. I know he was contemplating if he should speak up or not. He has a problem talking about his love life. But one of these days I'm going to get him to say something."Okay, so there's this girl... I've loved her all my life. I've had eyes for her only, all my life. She has been occupying my mind” Luther’s piercing blue eyes were fixed on me. He seemed

JOANNA. "Wow, this ring feels familiar," I said, staring at the diamond ring with an infinity sign. I stared at the ring, it was super beautiful and I was trying to recall where I saw the familiarity from. Luther's eyes locked onto mine. "Familiar?" he repeated.I nodded, still looking at the ring and The infinity sign suddenly sparked a memory. I remembered the gifts and encouraging words I received every year from a mysterious person. This year was a necklace with the same infinity sign.“Yeah Yeah. I remember. Someone sends me gifts every year coupled with encouraging words till now. This year the person sent a necklace similar to this design” I expressed..“Oh really?” Luther asked."Luther, what does this infinity sign mean?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper,my curiosity also getting the best of me. Luther's expression turned thoughtful, and he leaned in, his voice low. "It's a symbol of eternal love and connection. I think.” He answered. Eternal love? Why would Luthe

LUTHER. I shut my doors, a mischievous smile on my lips. Joanna didn't know she just signed a real marriage certificate forever. This is awesome and I loved it. It made my heart tingle. I watched her signature perfectly scribbled at the document as I beamed over and over again. The next mission I was on was to seduce her. I burst into laughter, for a moment, I thought I had gone crazy. I carefully kept the document in the drawer and pulled off my clothes to shower. I came out of the shower as water dripped from my hair, tracing slow, deliberate lines down my chest. The towel lay low around my hips and I was ready to go get what I wanted . I raked my hand through my wet hair, slicking it back, sending more droplets scattering across the floor. I was boosting my confidence. I had to be confident! I know Joanna wanted a distraction from Asher and I was going to be her distraction. I was ready to give it my all to get her. I picked my phone which was all part of the plan and knocked

JOANNA. "Okay," Luther said, grinning wide, "that’s enough."I quickly lowered the phone, trying to compose myself. I couldn't deny the fact that my heart raced for a moment when Luther walked into my room, looking that sexy and how excited I felt when he struck poses that made me laugh.. But I had to shrug these thoughts off. I was a big admirer of his muscles because they appeared unrealistic but then this night felt different. I felt something like a spark within me. I didn't want to think deep about it. Before I could say anything or pass the phone to Luther, he stepped closer, too close as plucked the phone out of my fingers. His knuckles brushed against my hand, and even that tiny touch sent a jolt down my spine. But why? Why did my heart race? Everything Luther and I was doing was fake, staged. It was nothing real but why was I feeling a certain way? He scrolled lazily through the photos, looking far too pleased with himself.Then he looked up at me, those maddeningly blue

CASSIE. I sighed, feeling hopeless as I thought about how everything had fallen apart. My relationship with Asher, the company. Asher’s drinking had become a daily habit, and I knew our parents were on the verge of selling the mansion. They sent us notice to leave the house in three months. We were left with nothing. Life was so unfair. I wondered what would be left of Asher, the baby growing inside me and me. We were practically doomed. As I sat in my room, lost in thought, I heard a noise coming from the living room. I went downstairs and found Asher in the kitchen, rummaging through the cupboards. He was dressed like he was going out. "Asher, where are you heading to?" I asked.Asher turned to me with a hint of determination in his eyes. "I'm going out, Cassie. I need to take care of something.”"What do you want to take care of?" I pressed Asher, concern etched on my face as I stepped closer to him.."It's none of your business," Asher replied curtly, dismissing me. "What d

JOANNA. I was lost in thought, replaying the events of the morning with Luther in my mind. I couldn't wrap my head over it. To why I felt that way. To why it happened like that. The heartbeat, the emotions. Everything was still vivid in my mind. Just as I was processing everything, Gina burst into my office. "Ma'am, there's something you need to see right now," she said, her expression urgent.I snapped back to reality. "What's that?"Gina hesitated before speaking. "Sir Asher is causing a scene in front of the company. The security won't let him pass, and he's making a lot of noise about wanting to see you." Asher, really? What exactly does he want to see me for?” My expression turned serious as I stood up from my chair. "I think I need to go downstairs right now.”As I got downstairs, I saw the security guards trying to restrain Asher. He looked frantic, his eyes wild with desperation."Joanna!" he exclaimed the moment he saw me. "I need to speak with you! Please let me speak wit

JOANNA. I watched Luther leave with the woman he came with as my heart stung. I had no idea what to feel at the moment. I left Luther for space to think.. It just felt like nature was messing with my head. Everything was super weird to me and I'm trying to give myself time. But I felt extremely guilty for leaving Luther in that condition after he did everything he did to save me. I felt shitty. At the same time I had no idea what to do. Go home to Luther? I wasn't sure yet.. The confession, everything came as a shock or maybe I'm the one assuring myself that because Luther gave hints countless times, I wasn't just paying attention. I was occupied with the thoughts that I saw him as a brother and friend to the extent that no matter how my heart skipped, I didn't want to give in. I wanted a break from love. It was scary.. I haven't recovered fully from what went on with Asher, the pain of it all still lingered and Luther had been a great friend. Would it be okay letting myself lov

JOANNA I forced a smile as I sat down across from him, smoothing my skirt over trembling knees. For a moment, Luther just stared at me. Then, with a calmness that didn’t reach his eyes, he said, “Ms. Wright.” Professional. Cold. It stung more than I expected. Luther had never been that distant with me no matter what. I swallowed hard, trying to ignore the way my chest tightened. “Mr. Martins” I answered, keeping my voice steady, even though my heart was hammering against my ribs. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her — the woman he brought. She leaned forward, smiling sweetly as she poured water into Luther’s glass. Her hand brushed his, careful and tender, as she set the cup down in front of him. I looked away quickly, heat rushing to my face. It shouldn’t bother me. Why the fuck was I so bothered? It was nothing. it meant nothing. But every small, careful touch felt like a dagger twisting deeper into my gut. Luther shifted in his seat, wincing slightly

JOANNA . The decision I made, I wasn't so sure if it was the best decision to make but I really needed space. Everything was too much, too overwhelming, I needed space to breathe,to think. What would I do now? This is entirely the turning point of our relationship and every decision I take right now will have a huge impact. I was trying to be careful.. I left very early in morning and decided to lodge in a hotel for a few days until I make a decision. But whenever I remembered how everything happened, how my heart pounded fast when I saw his bare body. There was slow tension between us when I was pulling off his shirts, his abs, his muscles , his dick. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I wanted to convince myself that it was purely nothing but lust. I don't any feelings for Luther, I don't. I need time to process myself before giving love another chance. For the past few years, i wasn't loved properly. I was forcing a man to love me. Now I don't know what to thi

LUTHER. I woke up, blinking my eyes.. I sat up and for a second, I stayed still, letting the memories of last night settle over me. The way the words had slipped out — raw, honest, unplanned. Joanna never returned to the bathroom yesterday. The way everything happened was quite unplanned and I couldn't hold myself together. I let out all my emotions last night without thinking of consequences. I bet it was too much for Joanna to handle. I wanted to control my thoughts of her but I couldn't, not when she was bare.. I made that ridiculous request last night, it just came out naturally. I didn't even think Joanna would agree to it but it just happened and we found ourselves in the bathroom. I couldn't keep my eyes off her perky round breasts. I couldn't keep my eyes off her sexy curves, not to talk of her features. Joanna might eventually be the end of me. I wasn't in my right senses when I made that confession but I had to keep it going because I couldn't keep that secret forever,

Joanna’s POV Luther’s voice was steady, even as something raw trembled beneath it. "So, what did I do?" he said quietly. "I stayed close. I helped you when you needed it. I guided you when you felt lost. I protected you — even when you didn’t realize you needed protecting." He stepped closer, the distance between us disappearing until I could feel the heat of his skin against mine. "I had to be there for you," he said, softer now. "Every time. Always." I stared up at him, my chest tightening painfully, my heart hammering so loudly I could barely hear anything else. "And now you’re here," he whispered. "With me." He gave a small, broken laugh. "I know I’m not even courageous, saying all this now. I should've said it sooner. But I needed you to know. I couldn't hide it forever. I couldn't place myself as just a friend and a brother when I'm not. I just couldn't keep letting it go that way." His hand brushed lightly against my jaw, a touch so tender it almost undid me. "

Joanna’s POV. I swallowed hard and turned away slightly, tugging my shirt over my head. My fingers trembled, fumbling with the hem, but I forced myself to keep moving, to pretend this was just... normal. Just helping. Out of the corner of my eye, I could feel Luther watching me. Heavy. Focused. When I finally tossed the shirt aside and reached for the clasp of my bra, I heard it — the sharp intake of his breath. I dared a glance at him He was biting his bottom lip, his eyes dark and intent, like he was struggling to keep still. "Luther," I said, my voice a little too high, "you're acting weird." His mouth quirked at the corner. "Everything about this is weird." And somehow, the way he said it — rough, almost hoarse — made my skin flush hotter. I hesitated, every part of me screaming to run, to hide. But something deeper, something reckless and stubborn, made me move toward him instead. I followed his lead. We stepped into the bathroom together, and the door clicke

JOANNA. I felt bad that Luther hurt himself because of me and I wanted to do anything to make him feel better. I was still reeling from the shock of everything. I still couldn't place any thoughts on who would have wanted me dead but I also had to recover because I couldn't dwell on that forever. The Important thing was Luther showed up and I couldn't be less grateful. Luther was such a great person. What if he wasn't available to save me? I followed Luther into his room and he faced me. I helped him pull off the suit jacket before reaching my hands to the inner shirt. I reached for the top button, my fingers brushing lightly against his chest as I undid the buttons as requested . I realised we were too close and my heart kind of skipped but I tried to focus on the task, on the simple motion of button after button, but it was impossible not to notice how close we were. How still he was beneath my touch. "I'm sorry you had to go through that because of me.," I said quietly.

LUTHER. I winced as the paramedic wrapped my hand, the sting of the injury a reminder of what could have been a much worse outcome. Thank goodness I arrived on time to save Joanna. I know how I felt when the thought of something happening to her hit me, I dreaded it and I had to do anything to keep her safe. It doesn't matter if I got injured as long as Joanna was safe. Joanna's eyes met mine, still wide with fear, but she managed a weak smile and I smiled back at her. Dickson stood beside her, his expression grim. "Dickson, I need you to find out who tampered with Joanna's brakes. The car was fine" I said, my voice low and urgent. Dickson's eyes narrowed. "I will get right on it, sir. I will carried out the investigation" I turned to Joanna, who was still shaken but calming down. "Joanna, did anything happen to your brakes before they malfunctioned?" I asked gently. She shook her head. "No, they just suddenly stopped working." Her voice quivered, the shock of everything

JOANNA. I looked up from my work table the moment Gina stepped into my office, a stack of papers in her hands. "Ma'am, here are some new proposals for you to check and review," she said, her voice firm.. I nodded, gesturing to the table. "Okay, just drop them there, please." Gina placed the papers on the table but didn't leave. She stood for some time, watching me. . "What else?" I asked, meeting her gaze. Gina's expression was hesitant, but she spoke up. " Ma'am, There's another thing you need to know, someone sent you flowers." She responded and I furrowed my brows,my curiosity piqued. . "Who sent them?" I asked, my mind racing with questions. I don't currently have anyone that would send me flowers at the moment. Could it be the anonymous person that keeps sending me gifts every year? "The person is anonymous. They didn't leave their name either. give me a minute, ma'am, Let me go get the flowers." She replied and whirled over the office. I directed my attention back
