Divorcing my billionaire husband, his best friend wants me Chapter 12
JOANNA. After getting ready and taking the hangover soup, Luther and I left the hotel. I entered his car and his driver drove off with both of us in the back seat. Luther and I had a lot of catching up to do so we were frequently engaging in conversations. He told me how hard it was for him to adjust in Spain and the company as well. “So are you back in New York for good or for a short period of time.” I asked him as the car was stopping in front of Asher’s mansion. We had gotten there already. “Well, that's a secret for now.” He muttered, opening the car door to climb down. “Geez, you are still so full of yourself after all these years, Luther.”I rolled my eyes and climbed down as well..“Don't lie, Joanna. I know you missed me..” He winked and I cringed..“In your dreams” I snapped, curling my upper lips in slight disdain. Daniel quickly rushed to my direction after noticing I came down because the mansion features a sleek automatic gate that swings open with ease so we didn't

JOANNA.. I bit my lips in anxiety, unable to form words while Cassandra and Asher fixed their piercing gazes on me! I couldn't believe what was going on now! Asher was asking me where I was coming after believing his sister over me.. I didn't know Cassie was this cunning! We were friends during childhood but why I'm I seeing an entirely different person? The possibility of Asher cheating on me, I wouldn't trust any news coming from Cassandra because she desperately wants me to leave Asher! Yes, Asher hates me and the woman named Pookie is still unknown but I don't want to believe Cassie until everything is sorted out. Asher’s attitude last night hurt me a lot but I didn't exactly figure out anything to do. “I just needed space to think straight,” I replied in a calm voice.. “What ? Think straight? Is this your style of rebelling now? You never used to be this petty.. Do you want to show the whole world that we aren't leaving happily so that I can lose the company I worked hard for?

JOANNA. Words failed me. I headed upstairs to wet my pillow with tears.. It wouldn't solve anything but at least I wanted to pour out my emotions, it has been so overwhelming lately..I was crying until my phone lit up with a notification..(Hey Jo. This is my new line. You better save up…) I leaned up from the bed and squinted my eyes at my phone screen. There was only one person that called me Jo in the whole wide world, Luther. How did he get my number so soon! I let out a small gasp, picked up my phone and texted back.., ( Luther.. how did you get my line!) (I have my ways..wink wink. I'm sending a dress for you and Cassie for tomorrow night..) he typed back. (You are so weird, Luther. ) (Oh, you meant LuLu?) He texted back that second and I let out a surprised chuckle.. LuLu? Why would he bring up that name now! So I gave Asher and Luther names while we were growing up cause we were always together. Asher was AshAsh.. Luther was LuLu. I only called them those names in return

JOANNA. I couldn't wrap my head around the whole issue but at the same time there was no need to make a fuss because Asher had already asked me to let Cassie have the dress. Night came by so quickly and the red dress wasn't so bad after all.. I packed my hair into a ponytail and applied a little bit of make up. By the time I came downstairs, Cassie was giggling with Asher. The yellow dress fitted her so much, maybe she was right after all.. “We are set. Let's go, Luther must be waiting.” Asher remarked upon seeing me. Cassie smirked at me when Asher looked away and I just heaved a deep breath, clutching my purse tightly.. We headed outside and as usual Cassie rushed to take the front seat. I didn't complain, I just headed to the back and sat down. Maybe I should have used my own car. The drive was a bit silent for sometime before Asher said something..“Joanna, we should put on a good show. Remember my parents and yours will be there! I don't want them suspecting anything.” Asher d

JOANNA.I stood frozen because I wasn't prepared for that question that was thrown to me. For now Asher and Cassie are the only ones that knew of my infidelity. I didn't know how to get through to my in -laws yet and Asher’s mom wasn't at the event..I went mute entirely, like I wasn't out of daze and everyone’s gaze was fixed on me waiting for an answer! But I couldn't seem to form words. “Joanna you went for a test, didn't you?” Cassie broke the silence and the attention went to her. I couldn't really say what she wanted to point out but I don't think it was a good time to expose it. Deep down I felt so bad. I'm unable to produce an heir for one of the prestigious companies in New York. I'm unable to get Asher to love me, I literally felt so useless. “A test?” Mr Clifford repeated. “Yes, she did.. She is in good condition. A baby would come later,Dad” Asher remarked and everywhere fell silent for moment, awkward I would say..“The event is about to start” Luther announced, liftin

JOANNA. I let out a deep sigh, my heart racing, as I turned to Luther with a forced smile. "Nothing, nothing, I'm not doing anything," I said, trying to sound casual.Luther raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. "What's going on? You seem a bit off” he asked, his voice low as he tried to peep into the room.. I stood still, tongue tied. I didn't exactly know the excuse to give. Moreover I was overwhelmed with emotions..Luther's expression turned confused as he tried to open the door. "What's going on?" he asked, but I blocked his way, my hand on the door handle. "No, Luther, don't," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I have never been so embarrassed. I don't want anyone to find how messy my marriage with Asher was. Luther looked at me, searching for answers. Why did he even show up? Shit, he is always showing up in the wrong situations. Just then, Asher emerged from the room, his face looking surprised to see me standing there with Luther. He quickly composed himsel

JOANNA. When I got myself, I quickly leaned away from Luther, seeing I had soaked his inner shirt with tears..“I'm so sorry, Luther, I … I” “It's fine Jo. I asked you to cry, didn't I?” He chuckled and I lifted my gaze to him.“How do you feel?” He inquired. “A bit better…” I answered. “Give me that…” Luther took the handkerchief from me and started dabbing off the tears on my face..“You look so ugly and your make up is so ruined, Jo..” He remarked and I bit my lips. “Is it bad?” I asked him in concern, worried that people might find out I cried..“You just have to wipe everything off beside you still look good without them on” Luther gave his opinion and I kind of agreed with a nod. Thank goodness I had some make-up wipes in my purse. “Wait..” I whispered and Luther paused. I took out the makeup wipes and wiped off everything on my face. “How does it look now?” I asked and he nodded in approval..“Better” “Let's head back inside. I'm sure people might be looking for us” He

JOANNA. After we arrived home, I went upstairs to go take a shower. It was such a long night and there wouldn't be many hours till morning. I took off my dress and stepped into the shower. Cassie and Asher were still downstairs but I needed to rest. I have gone through a lot of experience tonight and I have had a lot of thinking to do. I just wanted to rest my brain by sleeping. I let the droplets of water cascade down my body, I wished it would wash away my worries like that..As I stood under the showerhead, the water cascaded down, soothing my tense muscles. I closed my eyes, letting out a deep breath. Suddenly, I felt a presence behind me. I turned slowly and saw Asher stepping, naked. I gulped hard, my face turning bright red.. I rarely get to see Asher unclothed and Asher had never walked into the bathroom when I'm taking a shower.“Joanna… let me help you..” He offered and I stilled. Really? I stood still, my mouth agape.. My eyes drifted to his abs and muscles. Asher had the

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.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 have bothered me.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 as he reached for the glass with his bandaged hand.The woman was there instantly, steadying it for him, holding

JOANNA I sat behind my desk, staring blankly at the screen in front of me.Emails. Reports. Meetings.It all blurred together, meaningless noise against the chaos inside my head.I shouldn't have left him like that.I knew it the second I walked out the door.But I needed space. I needed time to breathe, to think. To fight the panic clawing its way up my chest every time I got too close to something real.Something like him.Luther didn’t deserve the silence. Not after everything he had done.He had risked everything to save Rick — to save me.And even now, I could still see the way he looked at me that night. So raw, so unguarded. As if I was something precious. As if I was worth it.My heart twisted painfully.And he was still healing. His hands — I remembered the blood, the bandages. I remembered the way he smiled through the pain, like it didn’t matter as long as I was safe.He needed me.And instead of staying, I ran.I pressed my hand to my chest, trying to steady the ache buil

LUTHER. ---I woke up to an empty bed.For a second, I stayed still, letting the memories of last night settle over me like a second skin. The way the words had slipped out — raw, honest, unplanned."I love you," I had said.I hadn't meant to say it. Hadn't even planned to. But looking at Johanna last night, with that quiet smile and those tired, beautiful eyes, it was like everything I’d been holding back just broke loose.I turned my head, reaching for her without thinking. But the sheets were cold, her side of the bed abandoned. I sat up, my heart already knotting itself into something painful."Jo?" I called out, my voice hoarse. Silence answered back.I grabbed my phone off the nightstand and called her.One ring. Two. Three. Voicemail.I hung up and tried again, but it was the same. No answer.Maybe she was just busy. Maybe she had an early shift. Maybe —I cursed under my breath, pushing a hand through my hair. No. No more maybes.The truth was, after last night, she might not

Joanna’s POVLuther’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."His hand brushed lightly against my jaw, a touch so tender it almost undid me."I love you, Johanna," he said, his voice breaking. "I always, always have."The words crashed over me like a tidal wave, leaving me

Joanna’s POVThe sponge slipped from my fingers and hit the floor with a soft thud. Automatically, I dropped to pick it up, desperate for something anything to do with my hands."What?" I said, my voice embarrassingly small.I gripped the sponge tightly, like it could anchor me somehow, and straightened up to find Luther still watching me — so serious, so steady it made my chest hurt."Yes," he said, simply. Like it was the easiest truth in the world.I blinked at him, completely lost. My mind raced to make sense of his words, but nothing fit. I was the mysterious woman he kept talking about? The one he liked? The one he'd looked for?I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Just air and confusion and a heart that wouldn't stop hammering against my ribs."You don't have to be scared," Luther said quietly, as if reading my mind. His voice was calm, but there was something underneath it — something raw. "I'm going to explain everything."He took a small step closer, careful, almost ca

JOANNA. JOANNA I sat on the edge of the bed, watching Luther struggle with the buttons on his shirt. His right hand was wrapped tightly in a bandage, stiff and helpless against the simplest tasks. He muttered something under his breath, frustration written across his face."Here," I said softly, moving closer. "Let me help."For a moment, he hesitated—I reached for the top button, my fingers brushing lightly against his chest as I worked. The fabric was worn soft with age, and the warmth of his skin bled through the cotton. 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."You shouldn't have pushed yourself like that," I said quietly, not looking up.His laugh was a low rumble. "Couldn't just stand there and do nothing."I swallowed, feeling the weight of his words settle somewhere deep inside me. The last button slipped free, and I slid the shirt carefully from his s

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. Joanna's eyes met mine, still wide with fear, but she managed a weak smile. Dickson stood beside her, his expression grim."Dickson, I need you to find out who tampered with Joanna's brakes," I said, my voice low and urgent.Dickson's eyes narrowed. "I'll get right on it, sir."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. Dickson's expression turned thoughtful. "It must have been someone tampering with it, then."I nodded, my mind racing. "Dickson, do everything to find out who did this. I want to know their identity, their motive, everything."Dixon nodded, pulling out his phone. "I will get the team on it right away, sir.After the paramedics finished wrapping my hand, D

JOANNA. I looked up from my work as Gina entered 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 efficient.I nodded, gesturing to the table. "Okay, just drop them there, please."Gina placed the papers on the table and lingered, catching my attention. "What else?" I asked, meeting her gaze.Gina's expression was hesitant, but she spoke up. "Ma'am, somebody sent you flowers."My curiosity piqued, I set aside my work. "Who sent them?" I asked, my mind racing with possibilities. Could it be the anonymous person that keeps sending me gifts. Gina's smile was subtle. "The person is anonymous. Let me go get the flowers."She left and returned later with a beautiful bouquet, handing it to me. "There's a note with them as well," she said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.I took the flowers, bringing them to my nose to appreciate their fragrance. The note was tucked among the blooms, and I carefully plucked it
