The next day, just as her father had instructed, she rented a car and drove down to the Starfall group . She knew that luck wasn’t on her side and the odds were not in her Favour.Melissa’s boyfriend works there so she is well connected already but her own husband said he knew someone there.A part of her really wanted to trust him seeing how he played superhero the previous day but the business woman in her knew it was not okay to put total trust into verbal promises.As she got to the front of the door, she said a word of prayer silently in her heart then she summoned courage to get down from the car.The situation she met there was quite different from what she had expected in the first place.Mia got into a busy lobby and she was confused about where to go. A newbie staff in a company like this will need a map to get around.The company was too times bigger than her own company and the interior designs reeked of elegance and money.“The Architects did a badass job.” She thought to

Everywhere went silent after they heard Robert Gu’s statement, not even Maliya expected that kind of citation when she asked her husband's niece to give her boyfriend a call about the contract.Melissa stifften in her seat as she didn;t even see what he said coming, her eyes met with her family's then she regained her composure. Robert had made her an object of ridicule already.Instead of hanging up she spoke up again. “How dare you think you can just break up with me? Are you really looking down on the Leinhart’s family right now?”“I have no more words to share with you, Melissa, never call this line again!” he hung up right after.“Grandpa, the Starfall group are really looking down on us. They do not deserve to work with us, how about we just work with the Nelson’s family.” Melissa suggests quickly covering her embarrassment.“Keep quiet for once!” Lord Leinhart oredeed. “An important deal just slipped out of your hand and you can suggest that we go to the Nelson’s family,”“But

“But, I am married already, that cannot work.” Mia protested immediately. “It would be disrespectful to my husband if I decided to marry someone else.” She said this because of how she couldn't stand the thoughts of being with the heir of the Nelson’s family. She preferred to be married to Logan on papers than to have Nelson as her last name.Her family members might ot understand why she was hell-bent on not having anything to do with Nelson but she knew she wasn’t going to give in to their request regardless of the pressure she gets from them.“Your marriage doesn't have my blessings, I still stand on my words that you must divide that boy.” Lord Leinhart said in a strict voice but that didn’t make Mia back down.Lord Leinhart was declaring that he would disown her if she didn’t listen. He had done it to her late uncle, Max. He wasn’t in support of his marriage with Melissa’s mom.He made him pay for every resource that the LH group had provided for him. All of that didn’t bother

She locked her eyes with his but she quickly looked away, averting his gaze before anyone noticed. Besides, she didn't want Mike to notice his presence. A part of her wanted to run up to hug him for refuge but the other part of her remained in one place.Aside from when she was with her parents, everyone else were strangers to her, she never liked to move close to them because of how distressed and uncomfortable around them. Strangely whenever Logan was around, all her anxiety goes away, she kept on thinking about how handsome he looked when he came in, though he wasn’t as influential as most people there, in her eyes he shone brighter than everyone there“Are you okay?” Mike linked his arms with her. “You seem like you are cold.” he asked after feeling her body temperature go down.”Bile rose up in her throat as his skin touched hers, now she wanted Logan to come and take her away from the man she was standing with. Her skin crawled as he held onto her, she was glad that she didn’

The guards bowed down and parted the way for Lord Nelson to come into their midst as they were trained. The way they were quick to form an arrangement created a fear in Melissa.While Logan was proud of the guards because they had been trained using the techniques he created. They were guards that had never undergone his personal training but were perfect with their moves.Melissa was so frightened as it was her first time seeing Lord Nelson in person plus the way the guards had moved was no joke. She had always heard about him. He was a strict and uptight man that took no nonsense from anyone.The maids at the Leinhart villa who previously served Lord Nelson often spoke about rules and how he treated them with sternness. Never did she know that she was going to meet him that way.A part of her understood her grandfather’s obsession with wanting to be in-laws with him.She didn’t expect him to come, she was expecting Mike to have shown up. A part of her quickly hopes that things won
