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 chose to stay with him though she had the opportunity to be better, she loved him so much, she was determined to make it work with both of them. It broke Luther’s heart even more, as he had no idea how to make it up to her, he couldn’t start seeking a high paying job, no one hires people like him, he was meant to be servants, and nothing more, mostly in a world where his educational experience barely came into use . Confused and disturbed Luther walked out of the house to take some air when he received a call from an unknown number, he didn’t hesitate to answer, but he immediately wished he did, as a familiar voice spoke on the other side of the phone. It was Melissa, Nova’s older sister. “What is it this time?” he asked. Her tone was calm and collected, Luther immediately knew there was something behind her well mannered attitude, a few seconds into the call he already expected words of abuse and a constant reminder that he was nothing and would never amount to anything. ‘Come over to the coffee shop not far from your house’ she said then ended the call. He was confused by her demand, but he had to choose to listen to her this time around. He considered so many reasons for Mellisa waylen to invite him over, but nothing seemed to be making sense at that moment. He wasn’t left with much options either, he had only two, either he goes to his wife who was crying and regretting her decisions, or he sees his sister in law who might have a solution to his problem. The latter seemed preferable so he headed to the coffee shop, she it wasn't hard to notice, and he spotted her immediately he entered the shop, as always she was over dressed and when he came closer, she took out her napkin and closed her nose. “What do you want from me?” He questioned, she rolled her eyes totally exasperated as she handed him a parcel, Luther glanced at the package she had slid to him. Suspicion aroused in his mind. “This is a blank check, and a car key to the Mercedes outside, take it and disappear, whatever amount you write would be given to you, just leave my sister alone, get out of her life forever” her voice was high pitched, which had everyone staring at them now. As Luther’s eyes scanned the room, a sigh escaped his lips, he knew better than to react, he already expected it from Mellisa. “Take the money” she said, moving it towards Luther. He was baffled by the price tag his relationship was worth, the love he had for his wife couldn’t be compared to the amount of money on the check, he wouldn’t know how to spend the money if she wasn’t in the equation, he wanted to pay her back for sticking with him through moments like this. “I know you want money, just take it and leave” she added, Luther stared at the check then back at the lady. He thought about the life his wife would leave with her family, they were bad people who barely didn’t care about what average citizens like them go through all their lives. They were people who saw everyone as subjects because they were born into wealth. He felt lucky that his wife was not like them, and a lady like her deserved the world, no matter how she got it, she wasn’t meant to suffer, so he gave the offer a thought. “ I will talk to nova if she wants to go back home then she can, I don’t need your money” with the last strand of dignity left in him he stood and exited the cafe. Life was already unbearable for him, he wanted to end it all, as he walked back to his house totally deranged in anguish. He saw his wife in the room sleeping with her head facing her wall, the second she noticed him she hurriedly dried her tears, faked a smile then walked up to him. “ Welcome back honey,” she said. Her eyes were sore, and it was obvious she cried all through his absence, at that moment Luther noticed how stressed she looked. His wife was a beauty, but her saggy eyes and dark eyes bags were all that dented her face now. “Why did you decide to stay, you could go back home and get all that you want” Luther stated. Nova narrows her eyes at him. It was the first time he directly told her to go home,she immediately knew something was going on, but couldn’t pinpoint where. “Don’t feel bad, I am just missing dad that’s all” she lied as she walked closer to him, pulling him in her bosom. “You can go home Nova, there’s a man who would love you and fend for you, I can’t do that, I don’t want you crying here and barring regret in your heart because of me” “ I love you babe , I can’t marry someone else no matter what you say, I choose you, and I will continue to choose you, till death do us path” luther heart blossomed with love as he stared at his wife. Their love was priceless, no amount in the world can be compared to this, and he was just at the verge of letting her go. “ I love you too” he kissed her on her forehead before walking out of the room, a part of him was calm yet worried. With no place to go, and so much uncertainty he went back to the waylen’s mansion. He only had a few bucks with him, and just the distance there was half of what he had in his pocket,but he wanted to confront them about how stupid they were and how badly they treated his wife. He wanted to tell them that she wouldn't leave him, nor would he leave her. And on getting there he met James, the suitor for Nova, he never really took note of him. But his regal appearance sold him out to Luther, he had the perfect brown hair, a wealthy smile, and well built body. Everything on James was expensive, and Waylen’s family adored him, he was just like them. “What is this peasant looking for here, do you need food?, you look like you are badly in need of it” they all chuckled at the sound of the insult. Luther felt so embarrassed, he considered going back home.
