VIOLET'S POVWe left the office by 6 pm, the minute I got home I felt extremely tired.I fall on the bed, today wasn't so bad. I wonder what Mr Victor was referring to, I don't recall my father ever giving me something like that, the only thing my father gave me that was precious was my mother's necklace. I hear the door open follow by footsteps, it's definitely Luther.He falls on the bed and groans "I'm exhausted"." You did well today".He whines "Do we have to go again tomorrow?"." Of course". I feel Luther's head on my lap, I sit up straight "What are you doing?". "This is the part were you pamper your husband".I scoffed "You better take your head off my lap"."Do you want me to call Amanda?". My eyes widen "You..." I sigh "Okay fine". I carefully locate his head with my hands, and brush his hair with my fingers gently "You did good". I whispered awkwardlyHe groans "This is nice". Luther's hair is really soft" Luther?"."Yea?"." What's the colour of

LUTHER'S POV I enter the building and wore a confident look. As I walk I made sure to give a quick nod to those who greet me, for what I know I'm in the tigers' den. I was about to enter the office when I see "Lana?". She raises her head and her eyes widen "Luther? What are you doing here?" her desk is right next to the office. "I work here now, wait, you work for me?" She smiles a little "I guess so, I'm the secretary to whoever works in that office. Of course you have others". I nod "I see. You're fired". I immediately enter the office. She storms in "You can't just fire me without a reason". I take my seat crossing my legs on top of the table shaking them "How about this, the fact you work here bothers me". She shrugs "I don't give a flying fuck. Luther, for once think about me, if not think of Lisa, how else do I feed her huh?" "You can get another job, you are a graduate". She scoffs "Yea but this is one of the best jobs, the pay here I can't get anywhere else".

"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. I take off my suit, my phone suddenly rings, I pick it up. "Hello?". "Dad". A smile slowly appears on my face "Hey kiddo, thought you weren't talking to me". "Can I come stay with you?". I scratch the back of my head "Why? Everything with your mum okay?". "Yea... I don't- just please let me stay with you?" "How about this, after your exams you can come sta

VIOLET'S POV Amanda assists me down the stairs, I guess now I have two problems, not being able to see and walk, and now my staff is serving two purposes. She sits me at the dining table and serves me breakfast, I suddenly smell something familiar, well someone "Good morning". 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

LUTHER'S POVWe really are in the tigers' den. We suddenly hear a knock on the door"Get rid of this stuff ASAP!". I exclaimed, Andrew carries the board and keeps it in the little store room in the office.He comes back out and opens the door, to our surprise it was "Lexi? I wasn't expecting you today".I noticed she was a little shaky "Mr Benjamin-kim". She said with an odd voice" Everything okay with you?". I ask concerned. She nods but her shivering says otherwise "Andrew assist her to the couch". Andrew wraps his hands around her and carefully leads her to the couch, I take a seat next to her " Leave us". I said to Andrew who bows a little before leaving us "Are you okay?". She raises her eyes and I see her teary red eyes. She suddenly grabs my hands."You have to help me".

LUTHER'S POV *FLASHBACK*"Big mouth? I don't understand, what lie?". She asked curiously "What I'm about to tell you Violet can't know about it, I will be the one to tell her myself". 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?"." Truth is, I don't know either, but they're a lot of people obsessed with it
