Chereads / Henry's Will / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

It was a very short flight to Luther island.

By the time they got there, all the members of the Luther Family were already there waiting.

"What kept you guys so long?" Stacy Yelled furiously as they came down from the airplane.

"Who do you expect to prepare the house?

To do the dishes and to take care of us?"

She asked rudely.

"Well, you might as well try doing it yourself!" Rebecca retorted indifferently.

"Rebecca!" Leroy said to her

Why would you say such a thing? She probed her.

"Leave me be! m" Rebecca snapped at Leroy.

"If they had an option, they would get someone else".

"It is obvious that they do not have an alternative that is why we are all here".

" They need us more than we need them"; She argued as she dragged her luggage into the apartment.

The house was lovely. Situated In the middle of a beautiful island, the perfect description of paradisical luxury.

There were lakes, trees, swaps, and forests on the island.

It consisted of a wildlife reserve, a stadium.

A mini cinema.

And even a formula one race track!

It was Mr. Henry Luther's get-away place

And the most expensive of his properties.

Every foot that walked into this paradise gasped in ecstasy

It was the place that every one of his children eagerly wanted him to will to them.

But no one knew what was his hidden plan.

Everyone immediately got to work

Preparing for the thirty days stay on the island.

Unknowing to every one of them Sierra Luther, Micheal, and Stacy had a sinister plan up their sleeves.

**************************************

Leroy Bolt was at the security room completing the necessary security checks when he felt someone's arms around him.

He smiled and turned around and said

"Good morning babe! I missed you dearly."

"Good morning sweetheart!" The voice replied.

Leroy Brodes immediately jumped out of her arms.

He turned around to see Sierra smiling devilishly at him.

"What are you doing here and what is the meaning of this?" Leroy asked in anger.

"What do you think it is?" Sierra Luther asked still smiling at him.

"Oh, you think you can sleep with my stepdaughter just like that?"

"I have had my eyes on you all these years but I chose to respect my husband".

"But now that he is gone, I can have you for myself!" She said as she ran her hands through the hairs on his chest.

"You must be crazy!" Leroy Brodes replied in Anger.

"Nothing, and I mean, nothing will ever happen between us!"

"Get that into your thick skull!" He sternly warned her

"Now please can you get out of this room and allow me to do my job?" He asked her with an angry look on his face

"I will leave for now but know that when I want something, I always get it!" She blurted out and then she left the room.

A few moments later, Tracy Luther walked in with all shades of excitement but on seeing Leroy looking visibly angry and panting disturbingly, she said;

"What is the matter baby," She asked him with a concerned look on her face.

"It's nothing dear I just had a stressful night". He said softly trying hard to pretend.

"Stressful night? Why didn't you come over to see me? Perhaps I would have relieved your stress!" She said seductively, reaching out to caress his cheek.

Leroy smiled sheepishly, knowing exactly what she meant by that statement but dismissed the thought almost instantly.

"Easy Tiger!" he whispered in her ears.

"Remember we have a whole thirty days to ourselves here with nothing else to do".

"So, don't worry you are going to feast all you want". He said with a smile on his face.

Tracy let out a loud laugh and fell into his arms and they shared a warm long hug.

Then she sat down calmly at the corner and watched as he completed his security checks.

She could see that he still had a worried look on his face. The reason why? She could not place a finger on it but she certainly could tell, something was not right with his usual mood.

And So she probed incessantly.

"Is anything the problem Leroy? Can't you trust me to tell me about it?" She inquired.

"Nothing!" he uttered.

"It's just that Camera 20, 30, and 37 are down and I can't seem to get them back up, and it is sickening you know!"

"But why not call the technician to help?" Tracy suggested to him.

"That is impossible right now". Leroy replied almost immediately

"Why is it impossible to just pick up your phone and call up someone?" She said waving her hands in the air.

"Well, part of the deal in your father's will requires no outside contact during our thirty-day stay on this island".

"So there is no way we can contact anyone because if we do, we have violated the terms of the deal!" Leroy said to her.

"Oh!" Tracy Said in realization.

"I never knew that!" She said.

"It's clear that Dad planned this out and took us all off guard". She said as she let out a soft chuckle.

"Yeah, your father was a very smart man I must say and had he not done it this way, Michael and Stacy would have had their friends over by now and would be shaking the foundations of this place with their parties". Leroy said.

*********************************

Rebecca jerked up the next morning and hurriedly began doing her morning duties.

She cleaned the rooms that were already cleaned before just to avoid unnecessary tantrums by Michael and Stacy and also went to the kitchen to prepare their food.

It was fairly about 9-10 am when Michael and Stacy woke up from their sleep.

"When are we going to begin?" Michael said to Sierra looking impatient.

"Calm down boy we do not rush into things like this". Sierra replied in a calm tone.

"But you said we would get rid of them!" Michael asked impatiently.

"Get rid of who?" Stacy asked.

They turned around to find Stacy standing at the door, still in her night gown.

"Oh, you didn't tell her?" Sierra asked in surprise.

"No, I didn't, I only briefed her a little that we had a plan". Michael replied Sierra

"What plans are you guys talking about?" Stacy looking lost.

"We have it on good knowledge that Dad is going to will majority of his property to Gabriel". Michael said to her.

"We cannot let that happen!" Stacy said in shock. "We need to stop him!" She cried.

"Yes dear, we need to, and that's why have a plan up our sleeves". Sierra said with a mischievous smile on her face.

****************************************

"What's Up with you Maxwell?" Rebecca asked while working in the kitchen with him.

"There is something off about you today". She said.

" There is nothing wrong with me. I'm perfectly fine". Maxwell blurted at Rebecca.

"Your hands have been trembling all morning.

And this is the second time you are cutting yourself!" Rebecca said with a concerned look on her face.

"In all the years I have worked with you Max, I have never seen you cut yourself! And today you have cut yourself twice! So what's the deal Max? Talk to me!" She probed on.

"Well, As I said before there is nothing wrong with me!" Maxwell shouted at her.

Rebecca was startled at his angry reaction.

"Sorry then!" She retorted back at him.

"I was just trying to show a little care

didn't know that it would offend you". She said and returned to face her duties.
