THE FORMIDABLE LUTHAN KING IS BACK

Chapter 2

“Answer me, dammit!” Luthan barked.

“This is considered assault, Luthan. I can get you arrested right now! I advise you to get out of the car, and we can forget any of this ever happened, but Luthan grabbed him by the collar.

“I have already been to every corner of the prison; I honestly don't mind going back for bashing your head consistently against the steering. Are you going to answer me or not?” Luthan threatened.

“You were given thirty years, Luthan. No one believed you would come back so soon, and your family was in dire need of money, so…”

Luthan slammed his head heavily against the steering.

“I need the truth!”

“Your brother came with a proposal and I accepted it. There is nothing more you can do, Luthan. Even if you take this to court, you wouldn't be able to afford a good lawyer. Just let it go!” Barry stated and Luthan went weak.

He couldn't believe his life was turned upside down in a matter of hours. He had come out of prison, hoping to receive a warm welcome, only to be ostracized and kicked out and now, everything he worked his entire life for was gone?

The passenger door opened suddenly and the security pulled him out. Barry had seized the brief moment of distraction to alert security, and now, they were beating up Luthan without mercy.

“If I were you, I would get out of here and never show my face again!” Barry warned, before driving away.

Left with no options, he found himself at the door of Mary Lynn. The very woman his brother had brutally assaulted.

“You poor thing, you look like you haven't eaten in days,” Her brown eyes were filled with genuine pity and it made Luthan wonder if she didn't know who he was.

However, the girl had been living a life way more miserable than his. She was treated like an outcast by her family, humiliated by everyone and forced to live in a doghouse.

Yet, not once did those brown eyes hold any form of resentment towards him. She treated him with kindness and shared the leftovers her family threw at her.

“Mary, how can you not hate me for everything happening to you?” Luthan finally found the courage to ask her. “My brother put you in this mess.”

Her response was a simple smile.

Mary had been through far worse than what he was experiencing in his few days of stay with her. It amused her that he thought her suffering began with his brother assaulted her.

Being an illegitimate child in the family had long put her on the family blacklist, and when her mother died, the entire Lynn family turned her into an object of ridicule. A tool for their amusement.

“Even if I spend the days hating and blaming everyone for my misfortune, nothing is going to change, Luthan. In my case, there is nothing I can do to change my situation, but there is still hope for you, Luthan. You are a good man, don't just give up.”

Those words echoed in his head as he stared out the window of the plane. He could never bring himself to forget about her even for a second.

After that conversation with her, he had gone in search of an old friend. The very man who got him out of prison before his due time.

Stanley Flair was his name. A fellow prisoner who was the punching bag of the prison gangs before Luthan stepped in to protect him.

In six months, they had become close buddies and Stanley helped him go through the pain of being abandoned by his family.

When Stanley was suddenly released from prison, his first instinct was to come for Luthan, who, in his wildest dreams, never expected the man to be a formidable personality in the business world.

The man had handed him a card to contact him while Luthan had been excited to reunite with his family.

Stanley welcomed him with open arms and after explaining his situation, the man introduced him to the very people that controlled the business affairs of the country.

The Big Trillionaire Bosses.

He worked under Stanley, managing one of his companies and succeeded in growing the company's income by forty per cent in the space of six weeks.

A feat that has never been achieved before. This incredible feat prompted Stanley to promote him to the managing director of one of his biggest companies.

In the space of six months, Luthan’s name was on the lips of every important personality in the business world, and Stanley eventually made him CEO of the Flair Consortium.

The second most powerful consortia in the world.

This alone was enough to make him dominate the entire country.

While a few questioned Stanley's decision, the majority were in full support as Stanley had no family to inherit his wealth.

Three years of hard work and consistency had earned him not only the trust of Big Trillionaire Bosses but also earned him a spot in their midst.

He had established various companies on his own and they were leading tech companies both nationally and internationally.

With all the power and wealth at his fingertips, he was back in the country to establish his firm to support growing businesses.

Most importantly, repay a certain woman whose words pushed him to forge ahead when he hit the lowest of lows.

“Sir,” his PA hurried to his side. “I just received feedback on the woman you asked me to dig on.”

Luthan's attention was immediately piqued upon hearing that.

“Have you found her? Where is she?”

“You might not like this, sir. She was just recently sold to the eldest man in the Carter family as his concubine. Check this out.”
