Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Luther's POV

I woke up early that day to a really bad headache. The coffee shop where I waited for hours for the woman that didn't even show up.

I freshened up, had some breakfast and started working on my laptop. My job is online so I never really have to leave my house.

I was about to start when I heard someone at the door. I opened it and saw non other that my father walk in. I was speechless.

"It's been almost a week and you're still not back. Can't say I'm surprised, you're just as stubborn as your father" he said while letting himself in.

"Why are you here? How did you even find me?" I asked annoyed. "That's no way to talk to your father." He said with a smile on his face.

"So your sister is back? She didn't even say hello to her father when she came back" he said while walking around.

"She doesn't owe you an explanation. She doesn't want to see you and neither do I so if you could please excuse me?" I said while gesturing to the door.

"So, have you thought about the company?" He said while disregarding what I said. "It's not a discussion. I am not taking control over that company. End of story." I said with a stern voice.

He looked so angry I could see the steam leaving his body.

"Sooner or later, you are going to come around. This simple life and that peasant girl are nothing. You will see who you were born to be soon. Even if I have to force it out of you" he said and then walked out while hitting me on the shoulder as he left.

I slammed the door behind him with so much anger and went about my day.

As I started to work, I still noticed that same black SUV in front of my house but no one was inside. I know it was the same one because I memorized the license plate a while ago.

I was conflicted by if I should take a peek or not.

I ultimately decided to do it anyways. I walked outside and opened the back seat of the car. I looked around but nothing was there.

As I was about to give up. I noticed the edge of a paper sticking out of the glove compartment.

I opened it to see pictures of Addison, a copy of her birth certificate, her address, and all sorts of other stuff. I was petrified when I sighted a gun at the back seat.

I spotted the owner of the car walk towards the car, so I quickly took a photo of everything and closed the door.

As I was walking towards my house with the evidence. I felt something heavy hit the back of my neck and I fell unconscious.

I woke up to my phone crushed, my car keys missing and the car gone. I was so scared then I remembered that among the papers was a copy of her schedule. So I knew she always passes Burlington road on her way to the centre.

I called Scarlet so see if she can get to her faster on a payphone seeing as my phone was destroyed.

I ran as fast as I could to the road when Scarlet and Addison were. There was just something about her that made me want to protect her so much. Even tho we haven't officially met yet.

When I finally got there, I saw Addison about to cross the road and yet, the same back SUV turn from the corner of the road at top speed.

I ran as fast as humanly possible screaming her name hoping she would hear but it was no use. I finally got closer and closer

But before I knew it...
