LUTHER'S POV "Okay dad, I'm off to school!". Lisa yells from downstairs "Have fun honey!". I yell back, she follows Alvin who was to drop her off. I was finally able to knot my tie, I stare at the mirror admiring my reflection "I look good". I put a smile on my face " Are you ready?"Violet asks walking in on me "Yes, I am". I gasped looking at her outfit "You look great". She smiles at me "Thank you, you look good as well". I give her a look "What do you mean? You can't see me". She giggles " I can tell, you smell nice". "That I will agree with you, come on let's go". I take her hand and we both go downstairs together. We see Amanda and Leo in the living room they both stand up to greet us " Good morning".Amanda said with a bright smile "Good morning Amanda". Violet replies " Are we ready to go Leo?". Leo just stares at me as he responds to Violet "Yes ma'am". " Alright then, Amanda try not to miss us too much okay?" Amanda scoffs "Trust me, I won't ". Violet giggles
LUTHER'S POV We had a very busy day at the office, Violet helped me with a lot of paperwork I couldn't do myself when she was healing from her twisted ankle, I kind of felt embarrassed because I feel like no help at all. We were finally done and ready to go home, I walk Violet to the car "You go ahead I'll be home late today". Violet wears a concerned expression on her face "Is everything okay?". "Of course, I just need to take care of something personal that's all". "Are you sure you aren't hiding anything from me, Luther?". I could see how worried she was just by the look in her eyes, but what can I do? I'm not doing this because I want to, is because I have to, to keep her safe. "it's nothing to worried about okay?, you just go home first, I'll be there soon". She enters the car, and Leo gives me a bad eye I force a smile when I face him "Drive safe". He ignores me and just drives away. I let out a sigh. Andrew runs to me"Sir, are you ready?". I nod "Get the car". He turns
LUTHER'S POV"What happened that night?". I ask her constantly glaring "I can't remember, it's been two years". She said without a stutter"We both know you aren't old enough to have a memory problem". I tap Andrew giving him a go-ahead nod, he opens the tablet and shows us her file, I take the tablet from him"Bella Johnson, age 35" she starts to shiver "You immediately turned in your resignation letter right after the trial, why is that?".She gulps "That's because there wasn't any reason for me to continue working there".I scoff. "Yea right, you also changed phone numbers and moved to this dumb, and you expect me to believe that? Was it an act out of guilt?".Her eyes become teary "I didn't do anything wrong, Mr Chad died that night I saw Violet kill him".I nod "Okay fine, let's assume you are telling us the truth, how come you were still on duty that day?"." Because it's my job?"."Every other employee received a random text that night, that told them to
VIOLET'S POVLeo and I decided to stop at my gallery on my way to work, I told Luther to go ahead and that I'll meet him up later. Leo helps me open the door, I enter and take in a deep breath, yes, smells just the same."What brings you here ma'am?". I hear Cristal ask"Just wanted to see how things are, is everything okay?". "Of course, but uhm-". " Hello!" I hear an annoyingly familiar voice exclaim"Benita?".I ask surprised" Yes yes, it's me". She responds with an unusual excited tone "Anyway, I came here to invite you and your husband for dinner at my place, I have something exciting to tell you both".I fake a smile " Of course, we'll love to come, time?". She doesn't say anything, I guess she's surprised how I immediately agreed to it.I suddenly hear her chuckle "Good then, 7 pm don't be late, I better get going, have to get some groceries". I hear her walk away.Leo immediately speaks up "Are you sure about this?".I smile at him "Of course, it's just
LUTHER'S POV"Excuse me, I think I need to use the restroom" Violet stands up from her seat, and I immediately get up from mine "Do you want me to come with you?" I ask concerned, she forces a smile "No, I still know my way around the house" She stretches her staff and I watch her till she is out of sight, I angrily turned to Benita "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Benita just wore her amused smile "You think is funny opening someones wound?" She rolls her eyes as the smile on her face slowly faded away"What did I do wrong? All I did was announce my good news, was I the one who killed that thing in her belly? Only God know what it would have turned into"I clench my fist as I angrily walked towards her, she takes a step back using Jesse as a shield "You better watch your fucking mouth if you don't want it permanently close!" I exclaim"How dare you threaten my wife!" Jesse yells at
LUTHER'S POVThe next day, No one said a word to me, Amanda didn't even make me breakfast, Violet and Leo went to work without me, I did ask to be left behind, Violet just replied with 'Okay' I guess I do deserve to be treated like this, if she finds out about the others, she might just end up hating me.I met up with Andrew at his place, we were both sited in the car"Here". He said handing me a cup of hot coffeeI take a sip and groan from the satisfaction "Hit the spot". He smiles at me "I don't know why your place is so fucking cold".He shrugs "I mean this whole place is on a hill, so".I sigh "Did you watch the news?"." I saw, the lady, she died".I nod "Yea, suicide"."You don't believe that do you?".I shake my head as I take another sip " Of course not, she was killed"."I guess this isn't going to be as easy as we thought it would be, how about the others, should we risk asking?"." No way, if we approach them they'll definitely not say anything, Bell
LUTHER'S POV"I'm sorry okay, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about it earlier, but come on, isn't this just over the top? I thought we got this together". Violet instantly wore an ugly frown on her face" I thought so too Luther, but I feel like you're keeping a lot from me, are you going to just blurt it out whenever you're ready like you did about me not having a child?". I instantly throw my head back"I deserve that, but everything I'm doing is to protect you, I don't want you getting hurt again". I could feel Violet's rage, I guess what that kid said is already happening" I don't need your protection Luther, I never asked for it, I asked for help, for your assistant".I jump in "And that's exactly what I'm doing. Please Violet, let me help you take care of everything"."Why? Because you also believe I need special treatment too?". I don't say anything "That's what I thought, you can stay home and keep doing whatever you're doing behind my back, like I said
LUTHER'S POVI slowly open my eyes and instantly a terrible headache attackedI groan as I get up from bed, surprisingly I was in bed, how did I get here?"Good morning" Amanda sings walking in with a bowl of soup "Morning?".She shakes her head disappointed " coming home late drunk with your ex-wife if I was Violet I will have you sleep on the floors"."What!". I exclaimed " She's still downstairs you can catch her before she leaves, oh and this soup is for your hangover, Violet had it made for you". She hands it to me"Thank you" I look around and I don't see Violet in the room, I let out a sigh, I guess she's out with Leo, I wonder if she slept with me last night, why did they bring me here anyway, it would have been better if they just had me sleep in one of the empty room"I'll be downstairs". Amanda said walking out of the door.I sigh as I stare at the soup, without giving it another thought I gulp it all at once, and I instantly start coughing, darn t
