"You now bring in people to disrespect me?" Grandpa Hilton asked and pushed Logan with his hand on Logan's chest. Logan has brought himself down so much that everyone now get to do whatever they want with him. "I am sorry about his behaviour Dad, he didn't mean what he said" Logan tried to apologize but he knew that would be in vain. "You left the house without informing anyone when you know we will be busy and ghosted everyone including your wife, then you came back with someone to my compound who have no respect for me" Grandpa Hilton cautioned while Logan chose not to say anything since it'd sound like an excuse, no one will believe him anyway. "Have we become so little now that you look down on us? What sort of friend come in to insult your in-laws?" Mrs Hilton spoke up for the very first time in that manner. All this while that his grandfather and father in-law have been treating him badly and tossing him around, Mrs Hilton didn't add to it nor did she try to stop it. Why is
Ava wasn't in the room when Logan got in, he didn't bother himself with that either. He took out his drugs together with the aspirin and took them before downing it with water. After taking the drugs, he entered into the bathroom and took a quick bath although he was careful because of his arm and he also want to get dressed before Ava comes into the room. He doesn't want her to see his stitched arm so he didn't waste time like he used to. Once he was done, he rushed into the closet and put on his night dress. The snack he took yesterday was remaining in the cupboard, he ate that and jumped on the bed. That would be enough for him for today. Logan checked the time to see that it was just some minutes past 7 which infer that the night is still young but his lids were already closing. Whether he sleep now or later, all of them are the same as long as he is able to sleep without any nightmare waking him up in the middle of the night like the other day.Logan covered himself and closed
Thankfully, there was a chair there, Logan dragged it to the middle and sat down. There were no trees around but the cold was hitting him from every angle and surprisingly, Logan likes it. He love this feeling and everything that comes with the beautiful serene. Logan propped his chin on his hand and sat down there for a while before going back into the living room. He doesn't want them to look for him or being told that he kept them waiting on the breakfast table. Everyone aside Grandpa Hilton was already at the table before he got there. Maybe later in the day, he will pay his father in-law a visit since he has been absolutely abandoned by his family. No one even visited him or care to do one thing or two so that he wouldn't end up in prison. What kind of family is this? Logan have met a lot of people in his life but all of them he has met will do anything to save their family except this people. No one is worried about Charles Hilton or care to know if he has eaten since he was
Twenty minutes into the driving, they arrived at the Central prison. "Prison? What are we doing here?" Daryl questioned with wide eyes. "To see my father in-law of course, he is here" Logan replied with an eye roll as they came out of the car. He walked towards the door of the reception with Daryl following behind him. "Good morning, I am here to see my father in-law, Mr Charles Hilton" Logan said to the first warder her saw on his way. "He said only family can visit him and we don't know if you are truly his son in-law or not" the warder responded. As if Logan knew that it will happen, he brought out his marriage certificate and handed it over to the other person who skimmed through it then bowed his head at Logan. "I am sorry Sir, please come with me. We can give you only five minutes to talk to him but can he wait for you?" the warder asked, referring to Daryl. "Of course, I can wait here in the reception" Daryl said, pointing at a chair at the corner of the reception room.
"De Lou, it's been a while" Logan said after they pulled out of the hug. "The last time I stopped by was four months ago" De Lou responded, gesticulating to them to sit down."That's a long time De Lou, I thought you've abandoned us too" Daryl replied while the older man chuckled. "It's a good thing you came to find me instead, I have been so swamped with work. And please call me Max, I am no longer De Lou you know, I left the mafia a long time ago" De Lou retorted. It's understandable since it will be weird to call him that, people might misunderstand or something like that. "How have you two been? How is the family doing? Is anyone giving you troubles these days?" he asked both Daryl and Logan who shrugged their shoulders before giving a response."Nothing we can't handle" Logan replied plainly with no intention to drag him into what he already got freed from. The trio discussed about random things for a long time forgetting that the time was going, they didn't even know when it
Luckily, the manager of the restaurant was the first to sight them. He walked up to them and bowed politely on seeing Logan with the same woman again. When he saw Logan shaking his head at him, he understood what he meant immediately. "Good evening and welcome Sir, ma'am" he greeted them. "I made a reservation two days ago" Ava said nonchalantly and handed a piece of paper to the manager. He checked nervously through it and nodded his head. "Please come this way" the manager directed them to a table, the person Ava is supposed to have a meeting with wasn't there just yet. Thanks to the manager, they passed a more quiet place with less employees. "Please check through the menu and tell me what you want" the manager handed the menu to them. "We are still expecting someone to join us, we will order something when he is here. You can give us juice for now" Ava spoke up before Logan could look through the menu, although he thought they'd wait for the third person too. "Right away ma'
Logan wasn't able to read the mail the moment he got into the house because he was welcomed by his grandfather in-law's rants. He was in the living room going through a book Logan doesn't really know what it was. "Good evening Grandpa" he greeted while Grandpa Hilton glanced at him with his eye glass lowered. "Did you take notes of the meeting or you were busy playing while the meeting was ongoing?" he queried Logan. It is true that Logan wasn't actually concentrating because it was super boring but then, he wasn't playing either."I wrote down a few things and also made a recording of their entire conversation" he said and handed the book to Grandpa Hilton then scrolled through his phone for the recording before stretching his hand to Grandpa Hilton who waved him off. "Send it to your wife, I don't have time right now to listen to that. I just hope you didn't do anything meaningless that won't be of any use to us later when we need it, make sure it is well edited and perfect befor
Logan's eyes perked up, this will be the most shocking and interesting information he has gotten in a while. He closed the laptop without bothering to read the remaining informations as he burst out laughing like a maniac, imagining how the news will sound like when people get to know about it. A father in-law having an affair with his daughter in-law? Does that still happen in this era? Now, Logan understands why his mother in-law behaves however she likes to his grandfather in-law. So how? When did it start? Logan has so many questions running through his mind but had no one to answer them. As much as Logan is ruthless and mercilessly bent on bringing anyone who treats him rashly down, it felt irritating and disgusting to know that this is happening. How could they? He felt pity for Charles Hilton, everything has been going on, under his nose and he doesn't even have a clue. Is he a fool for not noticing anything? Logan kept on laughing to his heart's content as his hand hit the
