Hearing the voice of someone familiar, Troy turned only to see his wife looking at him with a confused expression. Never would he have thought that his wife would be there at that particular time of the day. To make it even worse was that he was with his lover, and his heart began pounding in his chest. 'Could this be it? What if she finds out about this? Am I going to lose everything I have worked so hard for?’ At that moment he wished the ground would open and swallow him whole, but that's just a figment of his imagination as that can never happen. He was scared, confused, nervous and stunned at the same time to find her there. “Hon? Wha- what are you doing here?” He asked with a heavy heart. He just wasn't expecting to see her, reason being that in all their years of marriage she never comes to the store for whatever reason. She always had one of her employees bring whatever she needed home. So seeing her in person there was shocking, he was beyond startled by her presenc
Logan stared at her and didn't say a word, he just chuckled and walked out on her. Bethany who felt insulted and humiliated by this act, immediately ran after him cursing! “You fool! You will always be a toy in the hands of women, that's all you will ever be, a gigolo. You will depend on women all your life!” Her pride just couldn't take it that she had complimented his looks even offering for them to have a chance together and he just walked out on her. Logan got into his car without sparing even a glance at her, drove off leaving Bethany speechless and stranded. It was already evening and going back to the mountain top estate would be a waste of time, so he headed to the Kennedy's family estate for the grand banquet as requested by Arnold Cage. He was to attend as a representative of the Blue Net Group (a huge organization that is respected in all parts of the globe). It turns out Arnold Cage wasn't planning to attend the banquet so he had sent a message to him. ‘Young mast
This move was shocking to the young couple but most especially George. George was momentarily lost for words, never in his wildest imaginations would he have thought of this. 'What is going on? If the head Butler of the Kennedy's personally came out and bowed before him, he must be someone very powerful!’ He thought.’ It was like George had been slapped across the face, making him tremble and speechless out of fright. He became scared that he might have provoked someone very powerful and this could come back to hunt him later, he hit his head in frustration as he watched Logan go in. Anna on the other hand became really curious about who the handsome stranger really was, her curiosity needed to be satisfied today. They (Anna and George) got inside the banquet hall, they were just in time as Mr Kennedy himself was about to give the welcoming speech. “Good evening my distinguished guests, thanks for honoring my invitation this evening. The reason for the banquet is to celebrate
Elizabeth was the one who put a stop to their little escapades, she walked towards them and was surprised to see Logan there. “Hey Logan, you are here?” Seeing the surprised look on his wife's face he couldn't believe it; “What do you mean by that? Weren't you the one who invited him?” “No I didn't… but you shouldn't be causing a scene, this is dad's banquet!” Elizabeth said the last part silently to her husband's ears only. She knows what her father was capable of, should he find out about this. That was when it dawned on Troy that his wife wasn't the one who had invited Logan to the banquet. Confused, George walked up to him and said; “Well earlier, I saw your father-in-law's butler welcome him in. He spoke very respectfully to him and even guided him personally inside the hall.” This revelation was somewhat shocking to Troy as he doesn't understand why the butler would care about Logan in the first place. Troy felt Logan might be the butler's new help or something. To him
Everyone present gasped out in shock, others in excitement but the most surprised of them all, was Troy Reece. Those in the crowd quickly turned from criticizing Logan to sympathizing with him and actually taking his side. “Oh my! It means that he has offended Mr Kennedy then.” One of those in the crowd uttered. “I believe he has, I heard Mr Kennedy doesn't really like his son-in-law at all.” another uttered, “I can't wait to see what would happen tonight, somehow I am glad I honored the invitation tonight.” Another muttered and they giggled. Troy just stood there confused trying to process everything that was happening. He was just so confused, he didn't know what to do or say. Logan walked towards him and said; “Cat got your tongue?” Troy remained silent because a lot of thoughts were piling up in his mind. 'If truly he is my father in-law's special guest like his butler just said, then I am in for the long run because he might expose me tonight.’ Troy thought as beads of
Troy had no choice but to swallow his pride and apologize because he knew what was going to happen later that evening. “Mr Logan, I am sorry for everything I said earlier, please forgive me!” Logan remained quiet and Troy Reece had to speak up yet again, with gritted teeth he uttered; “Please forgive me, I didn't mean to.” Elizabeth looking pitiful uttered; “Please find it in your heart to forgive my husband for tonight and earlier during the day!” Logan with his hands in his pocket uttered; “Well Miss Elizabeth, because of your kind words and that of your father's of course, I will let this insolence slide tonight, he might not be so lucky next time.” “There wouldn't be a next time Mr Logan!” Elizabeth retorted. “This right here is how a real man behaves Troy with valor, you could learn something from him. This isn't over, remember that.” Mr Kennedy uttered sternly. He was going to get really scolded over and over again because his father-in-law doesn't really li
That evening Logan drove back to the mountain top estate, he was already tired and stressed out, the fact that Troy was surprised by his merely being the representative of such a huge company was satisfying. He couldn't wait for them to find out who he really was, but then he was going to make sure that Troy and Bethany paid for every single pain they had caused him. Logan was determined to make sure that Troy loses every single thing he holds dear. His reputation as a well-known lawyer and the love and support of his wife. Logan would make sure he loses everything, but then being patient is what he needed. He got to the mountain top estate and his driver Sharon was standing waiting for him. “Boss, my job is to drive you around. That was why I was employed in the first place, to be your personal assistant amongst other things. You are the heir apparent to the Blue Net Group. How do you think your father would view me if I do not carry out my job? What if something happened
Elizabeth was somehow having doubts about her husband's movements. The lady she saw at the store keeps on popping up in her head, she just can't get it off her mind. So just to be on the safer side, she decided to go to her husband's law firm to be certain he was there, Elizabeth got into the car and drove off. She needed to clear her doubts. Mr Kennedy felt his daughter wasn't happy and so he had her followed so as to know what's going on with her. After hours of driving, Elizabeth got to her husband's law firm and got inside. “Good morning ma'am welcome.” the receptionist uttered. “Thanks, is my husband in?” she asked mildly. “He hasn't clocked in yet ma'am, would you like us to place a call to him?” the receptionist asked. “No, that wouldn't be necessary, it would be best if he doesn't know I came at all. Is that understood?” Elizabeth uttered; “Of course ma'am.” Elizabeth just couldn't put her mind into it; it was more like she felt something in her guts that her husban
