Chapter 2 Back at home, luther sat in silence,his wife has been crying all day long, and he knew too well that regret was part of the reasons why she cried so much. He felt powerless before her, it was even worse now that he had no job to sustain them, she had no idea he was now jobless, he couldn’t tell her he was just a man who couldn’t even feed her now, he could not tell her that her family might be right after all. He loved her so much but a part of him kept on saying if he truly did love her as he claimed. He would be letting her go, her family was worried about her. They might insult him, but they did it for her, they wanted a good life for their daughter, and he knew if he was capable of giving it to her, they would not insult him so much like they do all the time, so he considered letting her go. They would give her the life he can’t dream of giving her, but Luther knew his wife, what they shared together was not about the money, he knew Nova would not leave. She c

Like a dream, Luther urged himself to wake up, but it was just too real, the word ‘Master’ baffled him and left him standstill. Throughout his lifetime he had heard other names that were not pleasant to the heart, but this particular name he was referred to gave him chills. He wanted to tell the macho men that they got the wrong person, but he remained mute instead, and bowed his head so they didn't tell how scared he was. If somehow they found out that he was the wrong person, he was prepared for another round of embarrassment. The men walked towards the building, it was bigger than any residential house he had ever seen, not even that of his in-laws, and the weirdest part was where it was located. As the men began to walk towards the building, he just followed them till they were inside this glamorous gold like castle. Amused by the sight, words couldn’t explain what it felt like to be inside such a place. Gradually, he was led into a room in this castle. The walls were

At night when Nova was asleep Luther took out the file that he hid from her then started going through it, to his amusement, the companies which were enlisted were all the names of big companies, few of which were familiar to him, and many more in other states, and countries he had never visited. Some were names rumored to be owned by men who were rich since the beginning of time. They made the cover of Forbes magazine each year , and those names were mentioned in these files, and how these men happened to be in some kind of brotherhood with his alleged father and some investors among them too. It was just too much for Luther to handle; he had no idea if he was going to be happy or sad with so much power and authority, he felt too inferior as all these came with so much responsibility, one he couldn’t toss away with ease. It took him the whole night to navigate the ton of money under his name but he finally did and later went to bed with the aim of visiting the companies in the m

On getting to the house. It wasn’t what any of them were expecting, Nova wasn’t a fan of parties, she had made it clear to her family and they were fully aware of her distaste in such glamor. The Waylen’s mansion was bubbling with lights and songs, there were a lot of people drinking outside, a lot of people that she didn’t know. “Luther dear, let’s go back, I don't think I want to do this anymore” Nova said, totally unprepared to face the scenery. “But we are here already?Maybe we should say hi to them before leaving, what do you think!” Her Adam’s apple bobbled up and down as she stared at everyone in disdain, she had social anxiety, she hates loud noises and she could already smell the panic attack lurking at the Corner. With a slight nod she replied. “We won’t waste much time” She didn’t want to say anything further, both of them walking hand in hand moved towards the main building when Nova's brother sighted them, from the bosom of his colleagues. A frown sat on his

While Luther faced his relatives, Nova was faced with a bunch of aspiring employees, she was nervous and could only think of the negative outcome.Her eyes scanned the room nervously, everyone in the room was nicely dressed compared to her, all of them were mostly known by everyone, they were famous people with high caliber like her, but the way they stared at her, she knew they were talking ill of her, and mostly irritated that she was in their midst. Though she was born in a wealthy family like all of them, her status in society was nothing but a ridicule at the moment, people stared at her as though she was a caricature and they made obvious comments to her.Nova shrunk on her seat, decapitated limb by limb by their stigmatizing glare, she has heard Luther’s name one too many times to confuse their gossipy to be another person.It has been a long time since she was out in public, she could only wonder what Luther went through everyday when he went out for work, she contemplated gi
