Chapter 220

I couldn’t believe this man made me feel so safe I mean my husband just beat the crap out of me shouldn’t I be scared of any males? But Luther I’m not afraid of him, yes he did raise his voice a bit and it felt like I should say I’m sorry but he wasn’t upset, he was holding me and for the first time in a very very long time I felt safe and protected. I’m sure the concussion did something to my head because come on I felt safe in a man’s arms. Even when he held Nicolene I knew she was safe. I heard what he was saying and I do get it, I shouldn’t give my ex the power but this is how I’m feeling at this point and I don’t know when I’ll ever feel better no matter how much times Luther says the same thing over and over. I slowly pulled away from him because if I don’t pull away from him now, I might not pull away from him ever. What the fuck is wrong with you women? I thought to myself. “Okay where do you want to begin?” I asked him. He pulled away from me and smiled, he got up from the bed got his note pad and pen and started with the questions. “Your soon to be ex what does he do?” “His got his own business, a jeweler VanDyk Jewelers.” “Oh.” Luther said, clearly his heard of him. “And do you have a prenuptial agreement?” “No, we don’t.” He actually started to laugh full out of his belly laugh. I wanted to laugh to I have no reason why but his laugh was contagious. But I rather went with “Why are you laughing?” “Because this is going to be so much fun. We are going to take him for everything his worth.” “You think we can?” I asked shocked. “I know we can.” The questions kept on coming until he was eventually done. “I’m going to file Monday; I’ll make sure he gets his papers on Monday as well.” “So soon?” “Yes, why wait when you have contacts.” “That’s great.” We heard Nicol’s voice “knock knock” she said. “Yes, Nicol come in.” Luther said. She looked at him then at me “I’m not sure if you up for it but the police are here for your statement.” I looked at Luther it was clear to him I was afraid. “I’ll stay with you if you want?” “Yes please.”
Nicol left the two of us to call the detectives to come in. “If you don’t want to talk to them, I’ll talk to them.” Luther said. “I’ll answer as far as I can.” “Okay but I’m here for you.” “Thank you.” A man and a women came walking into my room or should I say my space. “Mrs. VanDyk I’m detective Andrea and this is my partner detective Nico.” “Nice to meet you.” I said. Luther however stepped forward and introduced himself it was detective Nico that said “An attorney why does you need an attorney present.” Before I could answer Luther said. “I’m here to start the divorce procedures and I’m her attorney so what ever you want to ask or say to her you can do it in front of me.” Luther was protecting me and it felt so good.
“Okay then, can you tell us what happened?” the women detective asked. Before I can answer Luther was on it again “Why do you ask her can’t you see what happened?” “We need to hear it from her sir, if you don’t mind.” “Actually, I do mind, what did he tell you? You wouldn’t ask a question like that while you can clearly see what happened if he didn’t give you some bullshit story.” I decided to keep quiet until Luther tells me to speak because clearly, he had everything under control.
Andrea the women detective said “Sir we need to hear from her.” Before Luther could jump down her throat again, I decided to speak up, so I touched his arm. “I’m okay.” “You sure?” He asked “Yes.” Then I told the detective exactly what happened and how many times it happened, the times the police came out but I was threatened and withdraw the complaint everything was on record. When I was finally done, she said “So no one broke in and assaulted your husband.” “Soon to be ex please detective.” Luther said. “No no one broke in, a friend of mine and her husband came to help me when I called them but no one broke in.” “Do you know why your h…. sorry soon to be ex husband has bruises and cuts?” “No sorry I was unconscious because he hit me so hard.” Luther walked to the detectives and moved them out away from me, I had to listen very carefully what he was saying to them, I heard a few things basically he was asking them if they are here to help me or my ex.
When the detectives came back the women said “We need to take pictures of your bruises.” I was really not in the mood for that or have the energy but then again Luther jumped in. “I just took pictures I’ll send them to you.” “We need to take our own sir.” The man detective said. “And I said you are not going to put her through that again; I’ll send the photos to you.” To say the detectives wasn’t very happy with Luther was an understatement but they gave him their card and greeted me before they left. I felt so relieved and tired when they left. Luther sat next to me “Are you okay?” “Just tired.” I told him. And at that point little Nicolene started to cry again. “I think she’s hungry.” “Should I give her to you?” Luther asked. “Yes please.” For some reason I was over my shyness in front of men so I just pulled my breast out and started to feed Nicolene. Luther didn’t even raise his eye brows. “You want me to stay?” He asked. “No, I’m good I’m sure you have work to do.” “Can I come and visit you and Nicolene again?” “That would be nice.” I told him. He moved closer to me and actually kissed me on the forehead. I couldn’t believe it but I did like it. Then he left me and Nicolene alone.
