Chapter 34
"You got it?". I whisper to Gary, we were at the lonely alley we normally met
" Yes". He hands me a tablet "Thats the kid, Andrew King". I look at his profile on the tablet and Scoff
" He really is something, Military?".
Gary nods "He's been in the military all his life, so he's highly skilled, Jesse needed someone with great stamina". I swipe the tablet and see a woman
"Who is this?"
"That there is the reason he got himself into this mess, his grandmother is the only family he has, she's been battling with cancer, I guess he needed money for her treatment". I give Gary back his tablet
" I wonder how much he got paid, I must have caused him some trouble huh?". I lean against the wall of an incomplete building
Gary sighs "Well, that's how the boss roll, that's how he gets people to his side, he looks for people with the biggest weakness, that way he can do whatever he wants with them without getting a single scratch"
I laugh "I knew that guy was sick from the moment I laid eyes on him, my biggest regret was ignoring my suspicion and letting violet get married to much a monster".
"At least you are helping her, I just got to warn you, be prepared for the worse to come, because Jesse is never going to stop until he sees one of you fall".
JESSES POV
I walk towards my office, Ben immediately approaches me with his tablet telling me my schedule
I stop at the secretary post which is just at the front of my office, I see Lana, Luther's baby mama, she had dark circles on her eyes, obviously, something must have happened between them, especially with that bastard kid who got on sight
I smirk as I approach her, she's lost in thought and doesn't even notice my presence, I knock on her desk and clear my throat
She immediately gets on her feet "Good morning sir"
I smile at her "How are you doing?, Is everything okay with you?".
She fakes an exciting tone "Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?"
"I hope so, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you". I wink at her leaving her dumbfounded and enter my office.
The smile on my face instantly disappears, I take a seat "Did you do what I asked you to do?".
" Yes sir, as we speak they are digging every dirt they can find on him, hopefully, something comes up".
I nod "Good, contact me as soon as possible when that happens".
" Yes sir". I watch him leave the office.
VIOLET'S POV
Today instead of staying in the house, I go the gallery and of course, the guards and Amanda were with me
I hand cristal an exclusive wedding invitation "Wow, thank you so much, I don't even know what to say".
I smile at her "it's really fine, you deserve to come".
"I can't believe it's happening again, the second wedding of yours I'm attending, I just hope this one works out".
I sigh "Yea me too". I go to my painting studio. It's been a while since I haven't been able to paint
I put on my apron and hold my brush, I start to paint.
" You are really good at this, it's like you can see what you're doing". Amanda said with so much excitement in her tone, I really love how jolly she is.
"I don't like it". I said rather blunt
I hear Amanda gasp "What are you saying? it's amazing".
"I used just yellow and orange, I don't like that, it's too simple, maybe because I don't feel anything these days"
Amanda groans "I think is beautiful, if you don't like it then I'll have it".
" No, as long as it came from me, it shouldn't exist". I use black paint to draw a big x and squeeze the paper and throw it away "Let's just go home".
"Uhm, okay then"
The ride home was awkwardly quiet, Amanda must still be angry about the whole painting thing.
We reach the house, and Luther immediately approaches me "Hey you're home".
I smile at him "Yes I am". He hugs me" Uhm, are you okay?". I ask quite confused
"I just missed you, honey". My eyes widen, and we separate from the hug
" Luther, you're scaring me".
"Let's go somewhere private to talk, we don't want people hearing us do our thing". He awkwardly laughs
" Our what?" He immediately takes my hand and leads me to my room
He locks the door "Look, I overheard the guards and Amanda this morning, they were talking about us, and how we didn't seem like a lovely couple".
"Oh, that's why you did that".
"Yea, I'm sorry if you felt uncomfortable, you know we have to be careful, we are the only ones that know about our relationship, the lawyer can drop by anytime".
I sigh "You're right, so what do ee suggest we do?".
"Well, after our wedding, we can't sleep in separate rooms anymore, we shouldn't address ourselves by our names when others are around, we need to act like we are really in love, so expect hugs and kisses.....not on the lips". He laughs nervously
" I guess that makes sense, but please, you can call me any other nickname, don't just call me honey, it's just that's what Jesse use to call me".
He gasps "I won't, how about I call you sweetie, or baby or chipmunk".
I chuckle "chipmunk?".
"Yes, you can call me daddy".
I laugh " Why will I do that?"
"I like being called daddy, try it".
I shake my head " No way"
"Ah come on..just once".
I clear my throat " Daddy"
Luther instantly moans "Violet the way you just said it, it does things to me".
" You are crazy Luther".
"I know.....well, let's make the best of our fake real marriage".
" looking forward to it". We hear a tray fall I gasp
Luther immediately opens the door
I hear Leos's voice "I didn't hear anything I promise".
This is bad
