<< HOTEL ZEUS >>
“Lies! When the hell did you get married!” An angry Tony ask, pulling Luther’s collar roughly.
“Let him go, Tony” Mary said, trying to split her sons apart.
“He’s obviously lying. He knows that I want Sierra back and that’s why he is lying” Tony said, still not letting go.
“Let him go so he can explain himself!” Mary said, pushing them away from each other.
“Now tell us. When did you two get married?” Mary ask, breathing heavily.
“Two days ago. That will be the day you came to Washington ” Luther inform, smiling at Tony while Tony blood boil with rage.
“I still don’t believe it! You wouldn’t really marry him, not after what he did to you years ago” Tony directed this question to Sierra.
“You are right. He did hurt me in the past but have forgiven him and I love him which is why I married him” Sierra said and angrily Tony kick the table, sending the content on it flying off.
“Am not going to accept this marriage of yours! I won’t!” He said in rage and left the room.
“Did you two really have to do this? Couldn’t you at least wait until we get back to Denmark “
“It couldn’t be put off, mom. Sierra and I love each other and I chose her to be my queen, if you don’t like that then forget about me going back to Denmark to take the throne. I have no interest in it if my wife isn’t going to be there, let me know when you make a decision”
With that said, Luther left with a still puzzled Sierra and it wasn’t until they got into his car that she began asking questions.
“When exactly did we get married and why didn’t you give me a heads up and also did my mom let you do it and…”
“Take it easy. We aren’t married, I just…forge some docvments and that’s only because I wanted to keep you safe. As you can see…Tony still wants you, he believes you are his fiancee and want to take up from where it stop six years ago. I couldn’t let that happen, I didn’t protect you in the past but I will do it now, even if I have to forge trillions of docvment” Luther told her, his eyes on the street, missing the soft look that cross Sierra’s face.
“So, am I really going with you to Denmark?” Sierra ask.
“Can we talk about this later. I think we are being followed” he said suddenly, starring at the side mirror.
“Followed? But who is following us?”
“Who else if not Tony”
“What does he want now?”
“To confirm if we are really married. Am sure it’s the reason why he sent his men to follow us and they will definitely be going back to him with good news” Luther said with fierce determination.
When they got to the hotel, he got out of the car and handed his keys to the valet before opening Sierra’s door.
She was about going in when he pulled her into his arms, caging her.
“Wh…what are you doing?”
“Making sure that Tony’s men will return to give him a very good news. Am sorry that I have to take advantage of you but it’s the only way we can convince him” Luther said before leaning towards her to capture her lips in his.
Sierra wouldn’t deny that she miss his kisses and if it weren’t for the past, she would have wound her arms around his neck and kiss him back.
The two kept kissing and apart from Tony’s men who were watching, there was also an unknown man lurking in the dark, taking pictures of them.

<< NEXT DAY >>
“I still can’t believe that Luther Maxwell comes from a royal family. You just hit the jackpot girl!” Sunny said as she read the newspaper again.
The kiss from last night were on the front cover of different magazine company thanks the man who had taken pictures of them last night.
“You must be so thrilled. Once you marry Luther, you will be the next queen. I can already envisage it, good afternoon your highness” Sunny tease, doing a dramatic pose.
“Quit teasing me. It isn’t what you think” Sierra said.
“And what is it?” Sunny ask and as briefly as she can, Sierra told her everything including what took place six years ago.
“I can’t believe that even after six years, he never stop loving you. The proof of his love is the hospital, it was your dream and he help you fulfil it….gosh, he’s such a romantist” Sunny said dreamily.
“Why the long face? Shouldn’t you be happy that you’ve got the most greatest man by your side?” Sunny added.
“I was happy. At first, I thought him to be a psycho but when I got to know him, I realise how good of a guy he is but what I can’t accept is that he lied to be close to me and if mom didn’t tell me about it, he would have kept me in the dark for long ” Sierra said sadly.
“He must have hide the truth because he loves you” Sunny said.
“I would have love it if he had been truthful from the begining “
“So? What will you do? It’s all over the net that you two are married” Sunny said.
“We might be married but I intend to keep my distance from him until all of this ends” Sierra told her friend.
Sunny had just left when the door bell rang again, thinking it was Sunny who forgot something, she open the door only to find Tony there.
“We need to talk” he said, walking past her.
“We have nothing to talk about” Sierra said, closing the door but that was a wrong move cause as soon as she did that.
Tony launch for her, seizing her roughly and pushing her against the wall, like he did six years ago.
“It’s a sham right? Your marriage to Luther?” Tony demanded.
“We are married” Sierra said, fear gripping her hard.
“Married! Do you know how long have been waiting for you? Do you know how glad I was when they told me you were alive. I was willing to do everything for you, I even went as far as to let go of my lifestyle just to show you how better of a man I am but, Luther have always been the one” he said to her face.
“You don’t win a woman heart by leaving your lifestyle or wh@tëver you think you did great behind. You never had a chance at wining my heart and you never will”
“Really? How funny you think you can fool me? You might be able to achieve that with everyone but not with me. I know for a fact that you two aren’t married and am doing my best to get evidence on it”
“You do know that forgery of certain things like, passport, license, Account numbers and marriage certificate are a very big crime in Denmark”
“What do you think will happen to your dearest Luther when you two are found out. He will be stripped off his tittle and thrown in jail regardless of him being the son of the king. Denmark are very strict with their people” Tony said, instilling fear in her.
“So, if you don’t want that happening to Luther, I suggest you come clean before it’s too late”
“And if she doesn’t, what will you do?” Luther voice came from behind as they both turn to stare at him.
“You came back early. Scared I will steal your wife away?” Tony taunt.
“I remember that stealing someone wife can lead to death in Denmark. It’s one of the rules and regulation too and so you can try doing that, it will be a great pleasure escorting you to jail myself” Luther said in return.
“Don’t worry, I will find a way to prove that you two aren’t married and I will be the one escorting you to jail” Tony said, heading to the door.
“Let me tell you something as the soon to be king. Don’t you ever go near my wife again, you wouldn’t want to face my wrath” Luther said to Tony who did well in masking his anger by smiling at his brother before leaving the room.
“Are you okay?” Luther ask Sierra who nodded.
“I am but what’s that about you going to jail for forgery? Is it true?”
“It’s one of the rules made in Denmark. Any act of forgery leads to jail regardless of who you are” Luther said.
“Then you are in danger. What if Tony finds out that we aren’t married, he’s going to come after you and…”
“And that’s why we need to be ahead of him before he succeed with his plan”
“How do we do that?” Sierra ask, feeling confuse.
“We get married for real. Marry me Sierra” Luther said, holding onto her hand while waiting for her reply.

<< NEXT DAY ~ DENMARK CITY ~ ROYAL PALACE >>
As soon as she heard about Tony’s arrival, Charlotte immediately came to the palace to see him.
She had been surprise when he return without Sierra and he even angered her more when he told her about Luther and Sierra marriage.
“So, aren’t you going to do anything. Will you let him bring her here to Denmark?” Charlotte demanded and when Tony said nothing, she snatch his phone and threw it on the carpeted floor.
“I said, what are you going to do! You can’t let him bring her here and make her his queen ” Charlotte said.
“Do you really think am a fool who will seat still without doing a thing?” Tony yell at her in return.
“What did you do then?” She ask and was rewarded with that mischievous grin of his.
“Did you…” Charlotte stop what she was about to say when it hit her.
“I bet Luther is going insane right now” Tony muttered, letting out a evil smirk.

<< WASHINGTON ~ AIRPORT >>
Luther was waiting in the VIP lounge for Sierra to show up when he got a call.
“We can’t find her, your highness” Stephan, Luther head of guard voice came through.
“What do you mean that you can’t find her? She’s meant to leave with you guys” Luther said.
“We arrive at the hotel and when we went to get her, she wasn’t there” Stephan told him.
“Stay right there, am coming” Luther hang up the call and immediately left the lounge with the other guard accompanying him.
Luther was so worried that he failed to notice the incoming black sedan when he ran out of the building and it was too late for him to avoid…..
