Seeing her Grandpa's reaction to what was sent, Ava stood up and went to him. "What are the papers about Grandpa? Why are your hands trembling?" she asked slightly collecting the papers from him of which he didn't refuse to leave them for her. When she collected it and tried opening the first paper that was wrapped, a sharp medium knife fell out, earning a scream from her and attracting the attention of the rest of the members. "What is this?" Ava's Dad questioned upon seeing the knife on the floor. She mustered up the courage with shaky hands and turned over the next paper which only had a single sentence. *Do not mistake me for my mask* "What does that even mean?" Mrs Hilton asked on seeing that and repeated the words. Nothing came to their minds at the moment. Meanwhile, Logan also stood up and went closer to them although he might be scolded but that didn't stop him from going there. He at least want to see the content of the letters too even though he has the idea what it i
Logan drove off to his own mansion, it has been days since he went there. He miss the smell and everything he does there. Before he got there, he gave a call to Alfred to meet him there. He will think of his In-laws later when he is done with the job at hand. Right now, he need to start getting ready for the party in the evening. The same party Moore gave him an invitation card, Logan is on the special guests list. It is high time he met with James River! When he got to his house, Alfred was already waiting for him. "Good afternoon Blue" he greeted and got the door opened for him. As much as this place is big, the only employers Logan hired are cleaners and they don't stay in his mansion for any reason. They do their cleaning jobs and go back to their various houses. Since he has so much to protect, he doesn't want to have people in his house who might end up being his enemies underlings. Logan has learnt not to trust just anyone from his past experiences, if you allow a mistake t
Logan kept patting the young girl's back until she stopped crying and hiccuping. She broke away from the hug and stared at him before bowing her head. "He brutally took advantage of me everyday, my...private part will get a cut each time he is at it. He will force me to moan his name and and burn me with electric iron if I mistakenly shed a tear" she explained, her head down and her fingers were trying to help each other peel which first.Logan held her hand stopping her from getting herself injured. "It's okay, you don't have to think back to those horrible experiences. You are free now, you have a mum here, me and many other brother and uncle figures. You also have sisters in here now too, why don't you try to be happy first?" Logan said trying to convince her. "You are free to do whatever you want here, you can choose to leave too when you get much better, you can choose to go to school, learn a skill or better still, just play around. Whatever you want to do, we are ready to s
After walking around with James River introducing him to unnecessary people as one of his rich friends when they just met, Logan sighed in irritation. He is not here to be introduced to thieves who are likely to be just the same as James in terms of behaviour. Moore knew better than to find his own square root now. "Senator James, I think I need to have a word with you. We should pause with the introduction first and let your guests enjoy the party" Logan said, feigning a smile. "Is it important that it can't wait?" James asked and Logan nodded his head. "Okay, let's go to a more quiet place then, I like you Logan, you are so young and very wealthy. I will like you to be a role model to my son, he's such a hard nut to crack" he enthused with a brief laughter, paused and turned to Logan. "I have been wondering since you got here, what do you for a living?" he posed. "Well, I am the CEO of Blue Jay. I am also the co-owner of Beauty Cosmetics and I am equally the owner of Mirachos"
Logan glanced at James who was bleeding from the punch and then at his phone ringing. "This is not the end James, I will see you again, probably when you are in prison" he waved his phone at him, walked to the door, got it opened and left. The call ended before he got outside but then, it started ringing again right after. Logan made sure he moved to a less noisy place before picking the call. "Hello Dad!" he called "Where are you this time around? Did you go walking the whole country again?" Charles Hilton fired in exaggeration. "I am on my way home already, I..." "I am not curious to know where you are, I have something much better to do with my time. What about the message I sent you earlier? Did you deliver it?" Charles Hilton cuts in. "Yes, it was the first thing I did after leaving the mansion. I didn't get to see the person in particular, I was told he was in a meeting so I gave it to his secretary" Logan lied smoothly. There's no way he'd be caught in his own lies. "Th
Ava stared at Logan for a while and then looked away. "What are you saying? You can't leave this marriage without my permission Logan, it was stated in the contract that the both of us have to consent to the divorce before it is valid unless the other person is ready to pay for emotional and physical damage" Ava explained and Logan almost laughed. Of course, he knew before saying that. He also knew that Ava will not let him go for any reason. If he wants to leave, he'd have to reveal his real self and then, pay the compensation. After getting what he wanted by asking question, he nodded his head, turned around and entered into the bathroom immediately he grabbed his towel. Logan must have been stupid to have entered this contract marriage, what was he thinking? At first, he was really curious about Ava but he doesn't think about that these days. Since he has already come this far, he will stay for a while and then leave. Just a little while! He spent about half an hour in the bath
Without thinking of getting a glass, Logan entered the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of water and gulped everything down his throat. He again clasp his hand together repeatedly which is a habit he develops each time he is not in his right frame of mind. He sat on the kitchen counter for about thirty minutes before going back upstairs to their room. He met Ava seated on the bed when he came in, she has been undoubtedly waiting for him. "Are you sure you are okay? What was that a while ago? Was there a reason you were having a panic attack?" she threw questions at him. "I just woke up feeling my chest tightened, so I left the bed in order not to wake you up" he lied and for the first time, Logan knew that she wouldn't buy his lie, even him didn't believe his own lie. Ava glanced at his laptop on the table and then at him but she didn't ask him any further question. She would probably let it slide since he is okay now."I didn't know you have a laptop, I am glad you are fine now anyway.
Alex stood up from the floor, he touched his lips and saw blood gushing out. He chuckled and then laughed loudly only for a few seconds before his eyes darkened with anger. "Did you just punch me? You lowlife!" he screamed while boiling in anger. Logan also chuckled at his outburst. Alex referred to him as a lowlife, him, Logan Weston. "You do not have any business with my wife anymore, why are you still lingering around her?" Logan asked, holding Ava beside him. He could still feel her agitated. What might have happened between them that made her so scared of him? Ava is not one to be afraid of someone, it's not that Alex is that powerful in terms of affluence. "What? You have the audacity to call her your wife? Did you marry her or she married you? You should be ashamed of yourself because you are not suitable for her" Alex commented. Logan should have known better, these past few days that he couldn't restore his data or take care of the bugs, Alex didn't come here to bother th
