Chapter17
LUTHER'S POV
I drag lana to my bedroom and shut the door
"Did you really have to be like that to her?" I asked with a strict tone.
She rolls her eyes "Like what?, I was just being nice".
I imitate her voice " Oh you poor thing".
"I dont sound like that". She folds her arms and sits on my bed
" You shouldn't have done that". She crosses her leg showing off her sexy light skinned laps, she had on bum short with a big white Tshirt. Lana is mixed, and she's very beautiful, she has beautiful brown eyes, black curly hair that brings out her tone, and her very pink lips. She's very curvy, has the perfect size boobs and a big butt, Theres no straight man that wouldn't find her attractive.
"Alright I'll behave, wouldn't want to get my boo upset".
I sigh " I told you to stop calling me that".
She smiles "come on.... anyway, I don't know how to tell you this but...I still have some college debt left".
My eyes widen " What do you mean?". She doesn't say anything, she wears an innocent look, I put my hand on my forehead "Lana... Through out college I sponsored you, I sent you everything, I didn't even have enough to give to my mom and our daughter for God sake!".
" I know, I'm sorry, I promise I applied for a secretary post in some company and if God is with me, I'm sure I'll get the job, so you dont need to worry".
"Well good, its about time you grow up and start taking some responsibility".
"You say it like I dont take responsibility for anything at all". I glare at her " Okay fine, I admit I've had my taste of freedom, but hey, you're the one who got me pregnant so its only natural for you to take responsibility".
I shake my head "like I haven't heard that one before". I sigh "its a good thing you're here anyway, I need you to take Lisa with you".
" What!" She exclaims, she lowers her voice "I can't do that".
"Why not? dont you think it's about time you guys have a real bond? 14years of her life and the only time she sees you are once a week to get ice cream or when you come over to ask for money".
"That's because I'm not yet in a stable position".
I get angry "Stable?, do you think I'm stable? I lost the one job that kept us all going three years ago, we are barely even making anything from the pizzeria, at least you got to finish school and even graduate from college, you should be the stable one!".
She whines "Don't raise your voice at me, I told you I got a job interview didn't I?, just wait, Lisa is still a little girl".
I scoff "Little? she's a freaky teenager Lana, she's starting to have personal feelings, she's starting to care about what she looks like, she's starting to care what people say about her". I get emotional "Do you know what scares me Lana?, that one day she's going to get so upset because I can't even afford the things her friends have, I know she is, but she doesn't want to say it to my face because she doesn't want daddy to feel bad".
" I understand -".
"You don't, the other day she stopped ballet, she didn't want to me to know what's going on, do you have any idea what that feels like?", Lana shakes her head " Then dont say you understand shit". I leave the bedroom.
JESSSE'S POV
This isn't possible, I aggressively throw everything on my table away
"This isn't Possible!" Stella walks in on me
"Sir the lawyer is here".
I adjust my tie as I try to catch my breathe "Okay, send him in"
He walks in "Your study is even better than your office". He takes a seat.
I fake a laugh " You think? my wife had me redecorate it".
"I see". We both sigh " I heard of your threat, I have to say, I'm surprised, you couldn't wait a month".
I smile "well, time isn't on everyone's side, I just desperately need those assets".
" Like I said on the phone, you need to-".
I hit my hand on the table "Want us to take this to court? I swear I can afford the best lawyers in the country".
"I never said I wasn't going to release it to you".
" Then what's the hold up? is not like the waiting would bring her back from the dead or something". I laugh maniacally loosening my neck tie.
He stands up "The company is doing well, so are the other businesses, I dont see why you're in such a hurry, you have managed to win the public and boards, even the media are starting to get on your good side".
I scratch the back of my head " You're impossible, just give me my late wife's fucking assests!".
Mr Cameron shakes his head"I think we are done here". I stop him
" You think I can't do it huh?".
He glares at me "Do it then, I'll happily see you in court". He walks away.
" Fuck!!".
VIOLETS POV
"Well, Lana has always pressured him in to marrying her, she's the mother of his child, she's beautiful, and he takes good care of her"
" Then, why haven't they gotten married yet?".
Luther's mum sighs "For starter his bodyguard job, then there are Lana's parents, they dont like him".
" I can understand them, but he was the one who took care of their daughter even after they threw her out, they should be grateful to him".
"And yet he's the one who got her pregnant in the first place, so he has to take responsibility".
I shake my head " Well, some people won't, they would've left her alone and moved on with their lives, you have a really good son ma'am, and I want to apologise, because of me Luther didn't get to spend time with you all, and even now he's willing to help me". She takes my hand
"It's his choice, and he loved his job, you've become a really important person to him. So, how was it?". She asked with a curious tone
I scoff "It was okay, just went to show him that I wasn't dead, thank you so much for the medicine, my scars are almost gone, and the make-up you did covered them well".
"You're welcome, but you should know I'm not doing any of these things for free." I smile at her, suddenly I hear a door slam follow by someones foot steps stomping the ground "who's that?".
" Luther, looks like he and Lana fought".
