The next morning...Daryl barged into Logan's room without bothering to knock or give heads-up. Logan was seated on his bed while scrolling through his phone. "Do I not have my privacy in my own home?" Logan asked raising his head up to look at Daryl. "Oh, I forgot to knock" he said smiling widely at Logan who glared at him. "I knew you would say that" "Good morning Blue, I thought you'd still be sleeping" Daryl said, sitting down beside him on the bed. "You already know that I can't sleep" Logan replies back. "I know, I thought you will be able to, at least once in a while" Daryl said. "Why did you stop visiting the therapist? I got a call from him yesterday that you haven't been going for therapy for weeks now" Daryl commented. Logan had to drop his phone. "There's no reason for me to, not that it's of help to me. Nothing has changed too, I still have nightmares whenever I manage to sleep so what's the use? Don't renew my appointment with him when this one ends" Logan replie
"What?" the question slipped out of Logan's tongue on hearing what his father in-law just said."Did you not hear what I said or you still want me to repeat it? You've already resumed work, and your office is right beside mine. I won't tolerate laziness or tardiness" Charles Hilton voiced. Logan's shoulders slumped in disappointment, if he is going to work under his father-in-law, he wouldn't even last here a week because he will break all his rules. "But Dad, I don't think I am experienced enough to be your personal assistant. I am not sure I will do well, I don't know what it's like to be an assistant. I can just—" Logan was cut off before he could make a complete statement which will still not convince Charles Hilton. "If you stand here doing nothing while you are arguing with me, I won't mind deducting from your salary. I have made up my mind and there's nothing you can do about it, if you don't want to work as my assistant then, you are free to leave. I don't want you here in t
A book slipped down from Logan's hand unconsciously which attracted the attention of both father and daughter. Ava opened her Dad's office door to see Logan bent down on the floor. "I am sorry, I tripped over something and everything went flying to the floor" he apologized and picked the papers he purposely scattered on the floor. Ava didn't say anything to him, she glanced at him and then turned back to her father. "You are really unbelievable Dad, you and Grandpa just want me to do whatever you say and I have been doing that all my life but I am sorry, I won't do that anymore" she screamed, glaring irritatingly at her father before stomping out of there. Mr Charles slammed the door on Logan's face, expecting him to knock but he didn't. He just opened the door and got in. The first thing his father in-law did when he got in was holding him by his collar. "If only you did not appear in our lives, my daughter could have been happy with Alex instead of you. You are not adding any va
"Search and Seizure? What are they talking about Dad?" Ava asked coming into view while looking around to see the prosecutors. "I don't know, please take your colleagues and leave my company. There has been no case of murder in this company since the beginning of it" Charles Hilton spoke trying to sound defensive. "We will find that out when we carry out our investigation. I will bring the court order for you when next I come, thank you Sir" the man said and left without giving Charles Hilton the avenue to say anything further. Logan on the other hand stood at his office door with a menacing smile on his face. Seeing the distress look on his father in-law brought him so much joy that his heart can't contain. If only they are treating him well, this wouldn't be happening. Without saying anything, he went to his office and dialed Alfred's number of which he picked up after a few rings. "Good afternoon Blue" "Yes Alfred, I am seeing the work you did. You've done a great job, I thou
After series of failed attempts to convince anyone including the shareholders, Charles Hilton almost passed out from exhaustion and fear. Logan ignored his ranting and the way he was taking out his frustration on the workers and went to Ava's office. She was seated on her chair while tapping on the desk, continuously without a stop. Logan had to stop her from doing that, she didn't know when he got in till he did that. "Your hand might break if you continue doing that, why are you getting worked up when you are not feeling well?" he asked as he takes a seat opposite her. "I need to think please, don't interrupt me and leave" she said sternly but Logan sighed. If she is healthy, he wouldn't be worried about her. "I am sure the issue will be resolved, don't you trust your Dad to handle this kind of situations?" Logan posed, trying to prove a point that his wife ended up laughing unheartily. "Handle the situation? At the end of the day, he will leave everything for me to sort out
"You didn't just laugh did you?" Grandpa Hilton asked and Logan had to halt abruptly. That sounded too funny that he couldn't control his laughter. What does this family think of him? They've been feeding him? Logan can count how many times he has eaten since he got here. He hardly even eat so what is this man saying to him? "I am sorry Grandpa" Logan retorted while acting apologetic when he is clearly not. "My family gave you the wings to fly by getting married to my granddaughter and now, you have the fortitude to mock us?" Grandpa Hilton piqued. Logan stopped eating and stood up. Thanks to his grandfather in-law, his appetite just disappeared before he could start as much as he want. If truly getting married to Ava has given him wings to fly, what has he achieve since they got married? Logan thought his in-laws are only mean but that's not it, they do not think too. "I wasn't making mockery of you, I was just—" before he could finish his statement, he was cut off. "Just what?
"Hiring that kind of lawyer will cost a lot of fortune, with the state of the company now, I don't think we can afford him" Ava spoke up with concern. The Wellington guy's point is reasonable, if they deny all the allegations in court and they are able to get a good lawyer to defend them in any way possible even if it's with fake evidences as long as it pass, they will win the case. Logan on the other hand had to roll his eyes, he has been doing that a lot without him being aware of it. His wife is no different from her family. The news of her father killing an employee is flying everywhere and she wants to cover it up too? She doesn't actually also care to find out what the truth is. As long as it saves the company. But what will they do? Logan already planned to take it away from them. "I will do the hiring with my money, you do not have to worry about that" he replied menacingly. No one knows what is going on in his mind. "What do you want in return?" Ava questioned with the ph
Logan walked into his office and sat down, he just came in earlier with Ava like she suggested earlier, although rudely. He is sure everyone in the company now dislike him because of the fact that he is living with his in-laws instead of his own home. He doesn't really care about whatever it is they all think of him. The only thing he want to think about now is how to get out of this marriage soon and become his real self again instead of having to split his personality. He sat down on the swivel and rolled on it for a while, thinking about nothing in particular until the door to his office got opened and his father in-law walked in. "Dad...I mean Sir, what can I do for you?" Logan asked, he just came in, can't he give him a little break first? "What kind of question is that? Do you not know that you are supposed to be working right now? And you just came in and sat down like it's your father's company?" Charles Hilton said angrily. Logan hates it the most when his parents are bei
