Chapter 19

LUTHER'S POV

"Is this some kind of game to you?". The lawyer asked annoyed " How dare you try to lie to a lawyer!".

"If that's the case, why did you set up a meeting?". He calms down 

" Because part of me wants to believe what you said on the phone is true".

I smile "Well sir, I can guarantee you that I'm not telling a lie". I turn to the door "Violet, you can come in now".

She walks in with her cane, she wore a black dress with red details, dark shades, and a black fascinator with red feathers on her hair

I help her with a seat, she removes her shade " long time no see?".

The lawyer almost falling to the ground, starts to stammer "Vi-violet?".

She smiles " It's been a while huh".

"You aren't dead". He starts to cry " Thank God, thank God".

"You must have been worried, my father always talked about you, and how loyal you were".

He closes his eyes "May his soul rest in perfect peace" he opens them "I'm so happy, where have you been for the past two years? everyone believes you're dead".

" I know, I've been in a coma".

He takes her hand "Oh that's too bad, you've gone through a lot"

I clear my throat "Mr Chad, left a will right? Violet hasn't lost everything to her ex-husband right?".

He sighs " She hasn't, even though she's still alive, Jesse still has a right to the inheritance, he's still legally married to Violet". That's true 

Violet speaks up "What about a divorce?".

"That's a tricky one, you have to be remarried violet, that's the only way to get everything back".

Violet places her hand on her forehead " What was my father thinking?".

I turn to the lawyer "So right now Violet doesn't have any access to her inheritance?".

" Her assets are still obtainable, Jesse has been trying to get his hands on it, I haven't released it to him yet, and good thing I didn't, something was telling me to wait a little longer".

I sigh of relief "Thank goodness, I guess the problem we'll have is getting Violets fathers company back, those assholes don't deserve a cent".

" Well, like I said, the only way right now is for Violet to get remarried, and she has to be married at least a year"

Violet and I gasp. "You didn't mention a year at the beginning"

The lawyer shrugs "Didnt think I needed to, it's just a way of confirming her remarriage is real".

We both stand up, Violet shakes the lawyer " Thank you so much for your help, I'll be in touch".

"Please, do".


We both leave. Violet was quiet throughout the ride home, I guess there's a lot on her mind, I'm sure her father wasn't only thinking about her when he wrote the will, he was also thinking about his business.


" Please stop". I say to the cabman

"Oh, are we home already?".she asked stretching her body a little bit

" No, but I want to take you somewhere ". We come down from the car, I lead her to a radio shack

"Luther, where are we?". I help her with a seat, I put on headphones for her

We both listen to some calming music. After that, I take her to get a chicken kebab

Watching her eat it from the stick put a smile on my face.

As soon as we were done, we take a walk.

I take in a deep breath " Tonight is so nice".

"Really? what makes tonight so different?"

I shrug "I don't know, it just is".

" Well, I guess because of my condition I don't get to see the difference, everything is just the same, same smell, same feeling".

"You don't get to see the sunset or the sunrise, you don't get to see the moon and stars, you don't get to see flowers, oceans, the beauty of nature".

" Are you trying to make me feel bad or something?".

I laugh "No, I don't, I just really find you fascinating, because even without seeing those things, you still manage to put on a beautiful smile".

She blushes a little "Thank you, Luther". 

I take her hand, and lead her to a bridge " This is one of my favourite places, the view here is amazing, I wish you could see it".

She giggles "I'm glad you showed it to me though, thank you".

I let out a sigh " Let's do it".

"Let's do what?".

" Get married".

Her eyes widen "Wh-what do you mean?".

" I'm proposing to you right now".

She takes a step back "I-i mean-Uhm, you don't have to".

I smile at her, I walk close to her, I take both hands "I promised your father I was going to take care of you, this is my way of doing it, you need to get what is yours back, and it's just for a year, after a year, we can go our separate ways".

She shakes her head "No, I can't let you do that, you've already done so much for me".

"Then you can repay me, repay me by getting everything back, by being happy, by having your life back and better". She doesn't say anything " Please, let me help you".

"What about Lana?".

"Lana will be fine,  I'll take care of  everything, I promise". I can see the hesitation "everything will be fine".

She sighs " Okay then, lets do it,  let's get married ".

I smile as I give her a quick nod "We can't tell anyone though, this has to be strictly between us".

She gulps "Not even your mother?".

" Not a single soul, if you want this to work, it has to be real".

She sighs "Okay then, I promise. Thank you, Luther".

"Stop saying that....now let's go tell Lisa you're going to her stepmother". I wear a smirk 

She exclaims " What!".




                      JESSES POV

I walk into the house, the maids greet me as they pass.

"Honey, you're home". Benita said excitedly.

" What's going on?". I ask curiously

She gives me a quick hug "Can't I be excited that my husband is back from work?".

I roll my eyes " You want something".

"Well, I do. You know our anniversary is on Sunday?".

I forgot, I nod my head "Of course it is". Hope that sounded believable

" Yea, so crazy idea, we are going to have a business dinner celebrating it, to also promote you as well as the corporations,  we'll invite the media and all the important people in the country".

"Have you forgotten our problem? what if Violet decides to show?".

" Then let her, honey, Violet is still married to you, that means, you still have to assess her fortune" 

I smile "that's right".

" You see, I told you I'll find a way to solve it".

"What if she causes a scene?".

She laughs " To whose advantage? as far as she knows and the world knows, she's dead, how she manage to survive came as a shock for all of us. and you know me, she wouldn't even get a chance in the first place". She wears a smirk.

"Hope this plan of yours works" she walks closer to me and grabs me by my tie.

"You just need to focus on winning the people and media, show them you're the best man for the job, then they wouldn't care about some blind girl's opinion".
