“No. Do not waste your time with that pitiful excuse of a man. The dog has returned to the streets. Let him stay there,”
Amanda's eyes darkened as Sera held her back. “But mother… he assaulted you. I want to see him kneel before you, begging you in tears as he leaks your shoes!” Amanda shot back. She forced her hands into Luther's who just stood there, glaring at them all. "The most urgent thing right now is to finalize your marriage with Luther," Sera said, her voice laced with a sense of urgency. "We need to make that stupid Devin give up. If he sees you're out of reach, he'll reconsider creating such a scene next time." "Devin even even rented a car at great cost when he came today. A Porsche. The bastard is just bitter…” Jim snickered. “We can't let him succeed. He just wants to mess up your wedding!" Jim sneered and tried to laugh, but the pain made him stop. “Now that I think about it, you're right. Perhaps he just wants attention to see if I'll reconsider him. Ha! He's even more delusional than I thought!” Amanda said and burst out laughing. Sera joined her. “I don't think I should be here for this kind of talk,” Luther suddenly stated and Amanda turned to him. He pretended his face was flushed with embarrassment as he chided them for discussing such things in front of him. "You're too shy, Luther. I'm lucky to have found such an excellent man." Amanda, however, seized the opportunity to tease him. Aww…” Sera purred while Amanda forced her lips on Luther. But Luther was disgusted by them all. He just forced a smile to keep up appearances. "My friends are all envious that I get to be Luther's brother-in-law. A big shot like him as my brother-in-law will change my life forever!” “You're one lucky woman, Amanda. This family is lucky to have Luther!" Jim added. Luther's smile hid his true thoughts. He knew Amanda's background was questionable, that she was shallow and vulgar, with nothing but a pretty face and ass to her. But he had been married for many years without an heir, and now Amanda was pregnant with his child. He had to ensure his child's legitimacy, no matter the cost. Just wait two years, let Amanda deliver the baby smoothly, and he'll throw this woman and her greedy family away like garbage! Luther sneered as the thought danced through his mind “What are you thinking about babe?” Amanda suddenly asked him but Luther smiled. “New ways to make you happy, my love,” he replied and she purred. "The location for the wedding has already been decided," Luther said, his voice smooth as silk. "It will be held at the Le Grande Auditorium in the ultra-exclusive villa area." Amanda's eyes widened in shock, her face alight with excitement. "That's the best auditorium in the city, maybe even the whole country!" she breathed. “Only the richest folks get to visit that villa. And one would need a special invite to drop by. Will my daughter get married there? This is a fairytale!” Sera exclaimed with excitement. "I never thought I'd be able to get married there. The last wedding was five years ago, and it was the president's precious daughter. I will be the center of attention for a whole month if this happens!” Amanda cried with excitement. “Thank you, babe. I love you so much!” She hugged Luther and kissed him deeply. “Anything for you, my love,” he replied to her. “How did you manage to get a reservation at the auditorium?” Amanda asked, genuinely curious. “I paid twenty million dollars!” He replied. Sera and Jim exchanged proud glances, their faces reflecting their satisfaction. "Luther, you're amazing. I never doubted that you are the one for my daughter," Sera said. Her mind roamed again to Devin but she quickly discarded the thought. “Fucking jinx!” She cursed under her breath. Luther smiled. He wrapped his arms around Amanda's waist. "At the wedding, all the big shots in the villa area will send their blessings…” Suddenly, Luther frowned. “... And it's said that a very prominent heir has moved into the Number 1 mansion in the villa area..." He said. “Do you know who it is?” Amanda asked him. “No. But to move into the Number 1 villa, you have to be filthy rich. I would like to meet him during the wedding. We can discuss business ideas,” Luther stated. At the mention of such wealth and status, Amanda's heart jumped with greed. There and then, the insatiable parasite within her picked a new interest. “I wonder who he is…” she muttered. “Just two years, and I'll dump you the gutters where you belong. Worthless cum dump!” Luther cursed in his heart. But outside, he wore a wide smile, holding Amanda closer than ever, so that she wouldn't suspect a thing. Amanda smiled too. But her mind was already fixated on the latest landlord in the city. “I have to meet him, no matter what it takes!” She thought.

The courthouse was packed to the brim. Camera lights were flashing all around, and microphones were being shoved into faces here and there. Reporters fought for front row spots, and a lot of them ran outside, their voices were loud and chaotic as they screamed questions at Devin, who had just alighted. "Mr Stone! Did you forge the tax statements yourself?" "Is it true you used fake contracts to steal money from the government?" "Are you going to jail, Mr Stone?" "Mr Stone, are you guilty?" Devin Stone walked up the courthouse steps, refusing to answer questions while his sunglasses shielded his tired eyes. Petra walked by his side, holding his hand but she said nothing either. She felt tense, and even though Devin didn't show it, she knew that he was not comfortable. She squeezed his fingers. "You've got this, I'm here for you." She whispered. "Thank you." He said, kissing the back of her hand. Inside, the courtroom was buzzing with activity. The press wasn't al

Amanda was watching television in her house when the breaking news banner suddenly appeared. -BREAKING NEWS! LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST STONE ENTERPRISES!- A reporter suddenly appeared on the screen and started to speak. “…reliable sources say that the case could destabilise the company’s entire financial structure.” She suddenly let out a gasp, Devin was in trouble. She quickly picked up her phone and called Luther. “What is it? I can’t believe that you’re still alive!” Luther sounded irritated. “Did you see the news?” Amanda asked, biting her thumbnail. “They’re going after Devin’s company. This could be our chance to—” “Our chance to do what? You called me for that?” Luther cut her off, and she immediately felt small. “I told you I don’t want to fucking hear from you, and even when you call, you can’t call with good news? Typical.” “Luther, wait… just listen to us, we could use this—” “Use it for what? For you to screw things up again?” He snapped. “I’m done with

Matt was still looking down at the message on his burner phone. He had just got one to communicate with recently, but all he had gotten was a short message that spoke volumes. -Kill Devin Stone.- His hands clenched tighter around the device as he started to tremble. Why did he have to do the dirty work? "Motherfucker!" He grunted. The message had come from the same masked man he'd met with days ago, the same one who promised him Devin's company, his power, and the best seat at the table. But this was beyond what he was actually willing to do. He was alright with maiming, framing, and destroying him, but this wasn't just ordinary sabotage. He was being asked to get his hands dirty, literally. He paced the length of his large room, keeping the lights off, with the only lights around coming in from his large compound. His friend, Ray, sat on the couch, arms crossed. Matt had told him all that was going to happen as soon as he got home days ago, and he was there when Matt recei

The manager wasn't done begging. He was sweating now, and he had both his palms joined like he was praying. "Mr Stone, please. I know this is unforgivable, but I swear we're better than this. Don't ruin us over one foolish girl's mistake." Devin didn't even look at him. His eyes stayed on Petra as she slowly sat down, her face tight and tired. "She was stressed. That's what pisses me off." "I understand, sir, I understand how you feel completely." "No, you don't!" Devin snapped at him, eyes narrowing. "You don't fucking understand what it means to bring someone out to ease their stress, and then some dumb lady in an apron opens her mouth and ruins it. You don't know what that shit feels like." "I'm sorry, you're right. But I know I've failed. Let me fix it." Devin leaned forward, both elbows on the table now. "And how exactly do you plan to do that? You going to turn back time? You got some magic wine that erases memory?" The manager stammered. "I... I c

The waitress stared at the card in Devin’s hand in disbelief. Her mouth parted, but no sound came out. “I… I don’t believe it!” She said, eyeing Devin from head to toe. “There’s only one of that card, and it belongs to the richest man in our city! Look at you, it can’t possibly be you!” Petra got up and stared the woman down. “EXCUSE ME?” “Excuse yourself. I’m sure he stole that card! Do you even believe that he’s the owner yourself?” The waitress asked her. Petra folded her arms, clearly unimpressed. “Don’t make me slap you. Swipe the damn thing or I will call your manager myself!” “If this doesn’t work, I’ll have the police down here immediately and they don’t play with us. You will be locked up, and when the real owner sees what you’ve done, oh, you’d be as good as dead!” People we’re already watching now, drawn to the commotion “TAKE THE FUCKING CARD!” Petra said. “You’re a talkative.” The waitress cleared her throat and took the black card from him reluctant

“Are you sure about this?” Petra asked as she walked next to Devin into the Italian restaurant at the edge of the city. Devin gave her a small smirk. “Yeah. I’ve been wanting to meet with you for so long to eat, but I’ve had so much on my plate, and I wasn’t even sure that you were interested in seeing me, so…” She rolled her eyes. “Yeah, you were the one that made that happen, and it’s okay, I understand it. You’re not interested.” She said as they walked in. Devin turned to her immediately and held her hands. “No, please don’t think of it that way. I was just… I was reeling from guilt and there were so many emotions in me. I’m sorry you felt that way. I didn’t mean to make you feel like that.” “Yes, you did.” Devin pulled a chair out for her. “It felt like you were trying to punish me.” He sighed as he sat down too. “No. You’re right about something, but it wasn’t you that I was trying to punish, it was myself.” “Perhaps that’s the case, but you ended up pu
