PROLOGUE
River sighed as he opened his car door. He looked at his men who were looking at him.
He curtly nodded and they entered the house.
"Luka stop" a female voice strained voice yelled.
"This is what you get you idiot all you are good for is pleasure and nothing else" a male voice yelled angrily.
"L-Luk-a"
You could tell she was struggling to breathe.
He looked at his men and they entered the room where they heard the noises from.
"Oh fuck" 'Luka' mumbled.
"Did you call them you-" Luka yelled at the woman who he held by the neck.
She shook her head quickly.
"I swear I don't know them" she said truthfully.
"You don't remember me Luka Smith" River smirked.
"I-I mister Benjamin" he stuttered, his grip even tighter on the woman's neck.
"You Mr. Smith owe me a lot of money and on top of that you have been raping your wife and beating up your kid" he sighed "disgusting"
"Men grab him" he ordered "I have a lot of plans for him"
They nodded and grabbed him by the hand. He was quick to punch River's right hand man, Benson. Who smirked and faked being hurt. One of his close friends and most trustworthy men however watched amused, not even trying to grab him.
He ran for the door but he have him a punch, leaving him unconscious.
He sighed as Benson threw him over his shoulder.
Benson smirked at me and walked away.
"I want to talk to her alone" he mumbled.
They nodded and walked out one by one.
"Mrs Smith I assume" he smirked.
She nodded, running her hair through her messy blonde dyed hair.
"L-look mister Benjamin my husband is a good man and I assure you he takes proper care of me and my son" she lied, not looking in my eyes.
He sighed.
"What do you take me for Mrs Smith" he laughed dryly.
"Jessy" she sighed "call me Jessy"
"Jessy you and your husband are junkies who spend all their money on drugs and alcohol and you don't even take care of your son properly" I sighed.
She didn't look at him, too ashamed to do so.
"What's his name" he asked.
"Who" she questioned finally looking at him
"Your son, what's his name" he asked again.
"Luke, after his grandfather" she said honestly.
"Please look after him" she mumbled.
"What?" His eyes widened as she fell to the ground, her eyes closed.
He rushed to her and checked her pluse.
"Shit Benson" he yelled.

Jordan smiled at her class who were reading their books.
It was silent time, an activity her class created where by each day for silent time they would choose a silent but fun activity to do.
Luke, her nephew was talking to his long time crush, Carolina, a daughter to another teacher in the school.
"Fuck" she heard Luka say.
She rushed to him and grabbed him gently.
"Luke who taught you that" she scolded him "it's a bad word, never use it again"
"But daddy told mummy that and he said he said it because he love her and I love Carolina" he smiled at Carolina who smiled back.
"Baby boy never say that okay" she instructed.
"Okay but what does it mean" he asked curiously.
"I will tell you later, alright" she promised.
He nodded and ran back to Carolina, a book in his hands.
"I assume everything is okay in here" the principal, Mrs Shelly asked looking around.
"Just peachy" she smiled.
Miss Shelly nodded as walked away.
"Okay class I think silent time is over" she smiled looking at her watch.
They all groaned, putting their books away.
She laughed.
"Let's go over our abc's alright" she smiled to the class.
"Okay" the class yelled.

Jordan smiled at Luke who jumped out of the cab.
They were going to walk to Jessy's house. Jessy was Luke's mother and her sister well half sister. Jessy's mother died giving birth to her and then their father re-married ten years later and Jordan was born. Her mother also died giving birth to her. Jessy became an addict at the age of 20 when Jordan was just 10 because of Luka, Luke's father. Jordan didn't like him but allowed her sister to marry him at the age of 22 and then four years late they had Luke who was now four.
Jordan knew they were junkies that is why she dropped everything to be Luke's teacher so that she could take care of him because his parents were definitely not going to do it.
"Mama" Luke sighed.
She looked at him in shock.
"Luke w-what did you say" she asked kneeling beside him "you know I'm not your mama"
"Will you be my mama?" He asked his brown eyes literally begging her to accept him.
"You know I can't" she said truthfully.
"Mama and dada don't love me and dada hits me and mama, and mama always shout at me" he cried "but you nice to me and-"
She enveloped him a gentle hug.
"Of course I will be your mama" she said happily.
He stared at her with wide eyes and she was still wrapping head round the fact that Luka hit both him and Jessy. She had bad vibes from Luka and he and Jessy were always at each other's throats but hurting a kid was crossed the limits.
"Reawy so I can call you mama" he asked trying to confirm what she had said.
"Of course but not in front of-" he cut her off.
"In front of Luka and Jessy" he nodded.
She smiled and kissed his forehead.
"Should I carry you baby boy?" She asked noticing him slowing down.
He nodded and she picked him up.
Luke picked up her phone and begun playing music. He was used to her Ghanaian songs and could sing some of them.
She noticed the door slightly opened and she rolled her eyes. This wasn't the first time they had left the door open. The last time they did that the whole neighborhood heard their yelling.
She gasped when she entered.
Really muscular men were in their living room, Luka in the middle as fear was evident in his eyes.
She immediately dropped Luka gently and pushed him behind her, her eyes scanning the men, Let me know by Mr. Drew blasting on her phone.
"Who the hell is playing that-" a husky voice yelled but cut himself off when his eyes met her's.
She almost gasped. He waa handsome. He had dark brown hair, beautiful hazel eyes and was muscular and lean.
"Look it's the bitch and my son" Luka sneered.
"I can't believe my sister married someone like you" she mumbled.
"Baby turn the music off" she said to Luke who looked at her innocently and tapped something on her phone, changing the song.
"Hey wimp turn it off" Luka yelled.
Luke immediately turned it off making Jordan glare at Luka.
"What is going on" she asked confused.
"Who is she?" The handsome man asked, his spanish accent made her flush but thankfully because of her dark skin se was sure no one would notice.
"That's my wife's sister" Luka explained.
"Mama I'm scared" Luke blurted out.
She grunted.
"Mama? She isn't your mama though I would totally bang her she is too goody or whatever, not my type" Luke laughed.
She groaned.
"Where is Jessy, Luka" she asked "and as I said before what is going on?"
She noticed the handsome Spanish man nod to the other men.
"N-" before she could finish her sentence it was lights out for her.
