“Eno… Enolla?” Bluey stuttered in shock.
Chairman dropped a paper on the table
“Check the deal out, Kings group will merge with Shine group after the engagement, a big feat right?, Think of how larger I’ll grow and prepare well for the engagement” chairman Kings replied and left the room.
Bluey’s shaky hand picked the paper, it’s a photocopied copy of the docvment.
It’s f*cking true, he’s really getting engaged to Enolla next month.
The paper fell from and his eyes met with Tasha’s.
He ran out of the room straight, going to his mum’s room.
“Bluey” she smiled when he came in.
“You know what’s going on right?, You’re aware that I’m about to be sold off… Right?” He said, hoping she’ll do something but it’s the most impossible hope he has ever had
Chairman Kings has everyone residing in this abode wrapped at the tip of his fingers.
“You know how chairman can be Bluey, I’m not happy too, I talked to him before you even came back from school but he won’t listen, he’s always self-centered” Lorraine replied.
“I don’t want them get engaged to her, mum” he replied, crying slowly.
Lorraine tried to hold him but he shifted.
“I don’t like her, I h@të her with disgust, I h@të her!!” He yelled and left the room , bumping into his big sis.
“Bluey why are you crying?” Primrose asked surprisingly.
He ignored her and left for his room.
Primrose entered Lorraine’s room and met her pacing around.
“It’s not what I’m thinking… right?, My baby brother is not getting sold off in a d@mn engagement like me… right mum?” She asked gently.
“It’s exactly what you’re thinking, he’s getting engaged to Enolla Armstrong next month, chairman won’t listen to anyone” Lorraine replied.
“I can’t take this!” Primrose said and stormed out of the room.
She went straight to chairman’s room, he’s sitting on his armchair, sipping wine.
“appa!, ikeon museun ddeusiaeyo?” (Dad what’s the meaning of all these?) She demanded loudly.
“What are you here to say?” Chairman Kings replied.
“How could you be planning to get Bluey engaged to that spoilt brat!, Do you know how much he h@tës her?, Do you only care about yourself?, He’s a human and he has preferences too!, You got me engaged to a man I don’t love and I later got married to him because i was too daft to go against you back then, but I won’t allow you to try that on my brother!, You can’t!, I don’t care what I’ll have to do!, I won’t allow it!” She shouted.
” The world is really transforming to something else, look how my daughter is shouting at me” he replied, taking off his glasses.
“I already h@të you!, Don’t make me h@të you more!” Primrose shouted again and left the room.
She went to Bluey’s room but his door was locked from inside.
“Baby Bluey” she called softly.
“Bluey let’s talk ok?”
“Bluey” she knocked on his door but he won’t open.
“I’ll get the extra key!” She shouted.
“I’ll really get it!” She shouted again and when she still got no reply, she got the key and opened the door but surprisingly, he’s not there anymore.
His closet was disorganized and clothes are lying languidly on his bed.
His window is wide opened so she understood immediately.
She dialled his line and luckily he picked.
“Where are you?” She asked .
“I’ll just stay somewhere quietly, I’m not coming back to that house, I’d rather die than get engaged to Enolla” he replied.
“Dad will surely block your credit card” she said.
“I withdrew enough to last me for two months already, he should block it I don’t care” he replied.
“But will you be fine?”
“Trust me, and you can’t call me on this line anymore because I’ll be throwing it away any moment from now, I’ll be calling you from burner phones” he replied.
“What about school?, Next week is this month competition” she said.
“I really don’t care about that too, I’ll just stay somewhere quietly, I’ll tell you where later,bye!” He hung up .
Primrose looked at the room again and sighted.
“I won’t be seeing you frequently again, how sad”

LUTHER’S MANSION*
Martin has been scrolling on the pictures he snapped with Starr since he came back home.
He hasn’t left his galley for once, he has no personal picture on his phone, everything was either snapped with Bluey or Starr.
Starr loves the girl he loves, his mum is dating his dad too.
It’s now clear that all his sufferings, all his mum’s sufferings is because of Judy.
His dad has been treating them like animals because of her.
Thinking about all these created a sudden hatred for Starr in his mind and he can’t help but give in to it.
He started deleting all the pictures he snapped with Starr till the last one, then he heard his dad’s voice in the living room.
He’s surely back.
He left for the living room and met him there.
“The money you took for treatment, the doctor said you didn’t book appointment, how come?” He asked Mrs Luther who was already shivering.
“I… I’m still gonna go” she said fearfully and he slapped her immediately, she fell on her knees with bleeding lips.
“Mum!” Martin rushed to her.
“How dare you lie to me!, What did you use the money for!” He yelled, removing the belt from his trousers.
“She gave it to me” Martin replied and Mr Luther grinned.
“And you took it?, To do what?, Buy gun and kill me?, Huh!” He barked loudly, raising the belt on them.
Martin covered his mum so all the lashes landed on his back.
“Please stop!, Stop please!!” Mrs Luther shouted under Martin.
He continued whipping Martin mercilessly with the belt and he continued taking it,blood covered his shirt in the back and he could feel his flesh peeling
“Go die!, You both!” Mr Luther shouted and raised another stroke again …
“You should be the one to die” Martin said and his hand stopped in the air.
“What!”
“Martin stood and when Mrs Luther saw his bloody back, she cried more.
“Martin!!!”
“You should go die instead” he said to his father’s face.
“Are you out of your mind?” Mr Luther gnarled.
“Judy…. Mrs Judy McDonald” Martin said and Mr Luther looks shocked.
“You’re having an affair with her right?, And that’s why you always make life hellish for I and my mum you Satan!” Martin shouted.
Mrs Luther stood shockingly too, remembering when she saw Judy entering an hotel last week.
“If you dare touch I and my mum again, I swear it I’ll kill you” Martin said, bringing out a knife from his pocket.
Mr Luther shifted back.
“I won’t mind going to jail, so far I’ll be able to take you out of this world, I’ll kill you anytime you come closer to us”
He brought out a paper and threw it at his face.
“That’s the lawsuit docvment, I’m gonna sue you to court” he said
“What!” Mr Luther said.
“Wait and see, you’ll die by my hands, man-whore” Martin said and went in with his mum.
Mr Luther looked at the lawsuit docvment again, it’s true.
He went into his room and packed a few of his things then he left the house with no intention of coming back.
Martin came to the living room and watched him drive away from the window.
“He’s gone, he’s not gonna come back anymore” he said, facing his mum.
“But..how are we gonna live from now on, I’m worried” she replied.
“I’m still selling the cars tommorow, and I’ll start working part time” he said and gave her a hug.
“I love you Martin”
“I love you mum, it’s finally over” he smiled with a sniff.
∆∆∆∆∆∆∆
Bluey has been hiding around since he left home, he has a face cap on, to cover his face from being sighted.
He never knew getting a discreet accommodation will be hard like this, he has lived all his life in that big terrible house.
His stomach rumbled when the time clocked 8pm so he branched at a restaurant to eat.
After covering his face with his cap very well, he went in.
“What shall I offer you?” The familiar voice asked and he slowly looked up.
“Natasha” he smiled.
“What are you doing here” she asked surprisingly.
“Running away from home” he smiled again.
It feels good to see someone he knows.
Tasha looked around and took his hand.
“Where are we going?” He asked but she kept going till they got to a corner in the restaurant.
“Do you think running away from home is the best decision?” She said, releasing him.
“Then should I have stayed and get married to the girl I h@të most in the world?” He replied.
“How are you gonna survive in the streets when you’ve lived a sheltered life all your days?” She said, looking into his eyes.
“I’ll adjust, I do adjust fast trust me” he smiled.
“You’re an handful, what am I gonna do with you?” She said.
“Help me” he said and she glared.
He smiled.
