Logan struggled to open his eyes as he still had so much alcohol in his system, he moved in the bed till his hand touched a soft and warm skin.
A loud scream right came after his hand was yanked away with so much strength. “What have you done to me? Who are you? A feminine voice shouted at him.Logan sat up on the bed and rubbed on his eyes so he could see properly, as his vision cleared, he saw a beautiful fair woman beside him, he didn’t seem to know what was going on.“Who are you and why am I here?”Mia frowned at him. “What sort of shameless question is that? I should be asking you instead! Did you bring me here to rape me?”“Rape? That is a sensitive word you are using ma’am. For someone who seduced me, you have some brazen guts to say that.” Logan fired at her.She tried to recollect what he meant by that and she remembered how she ended up in the position she was in.Mia ran her hands through her hair. “I must be out of my mind. How much did I drink last night to have made this pathetic mistake with a stranger." She lamented bitterly.She was originally a member of the Leinhart family, the oldest daughter to be precise. The Leinhart family were the most famous in town, everyone knew about how wealthy and powerful they were.Her grandfather, Lord Leinhart had arranged her marriage to the heir of Nelson’s family, Mike Nelson, whom she hates so much.She didn’t want to get married to him but her Grandfather insisted that she proceed with the wedding against her wish. She had come to the City of Gambling to release her stress but she had ended up in this kind of situation.“Since this has happened, I will take responsibility for this. You don’t have to worry.” Logan assured her with confidence.She sized him from head to toe. “Take responsibility for this? Do I seem like an easy woman that you can knock out and claim that you will take care of? Can you even take care of yourself?” She groaned.“I really ran out of luck today. Imagine a loser like this offering to take care of me, I am sure his total savings can’t purchase my underwear and not talk of my clothes.” She thought to herself and got up from the bed.“Phew, Mia. Calm down, Let’s handle this situation like a mature woman.” Mia calmed herself down mentally before she spoke.“No single soul must hear of what transpired between today. Have you heard?” Mia whispered to him.“Why?” Logan asked confusedly.“No questions, young man. We have never met. Last night never happened between us. If any soul hears about this, I will hunt you down and ruin your life. Do you understand me!” She yelled at him while she struggled to put on her clothes in a rush.“My family is very powerful and a rat like you will only get hurt if you blab around or create any silly rumors," She added then she grabbed her bag and left the hotel room.Logan reached for his phone on the bedside and dialed the number of his assistant. After the first ring, the assistant picked up.“Good Morning, Young Master. Did you have a pleasant night? I have been receiving calls from the head office, should I tell them you won't be showing up today?”“Yes. I need to do something quietly. Did you see the woman that came in with me last night?”“Hmmmm… yes sir. She just walked out of the hotel as we were speaking.”“Do you know who she is? She seems to be from a powerful family, that is what she told me anyway.”“It could be a lie. Many people lie about their social status, sir.”A lie? Logan didn’t think she could possibly be lying to him.“That doesn’t matter. I want you to find out every single thing about her. I don't care how much it would cost me, find out everything from her name to the foods she ate.” He ordered.“Got it Young Master!” His assistant said. “I will send your breakfast up and the custom suits from Louis Vuitton."“They have arrived already? What about the BMW Nazca m12 that I just bought?”“It is at the port, I am on my way to clear it.”“Take it to the Penthouse, I will meet you there.” He hung up immediately.***“Where were you all night, Mia?!” Lord Leinhart, an old man in his seventies with a few gray hairs on his head, yelled as he burst into his daughter’s room.He was so furious when he had come to check on her the previous night but her room was empty.“Grandpar, you should have agreed to my request, then I would not have to sleep outside. I am not going to marry that despicable rat from the Nelson’s family.” Mia fired at her grandfather.“Do you know how much we would be losing if you don’t marry him? His family has connections everywhere. That alone will make us untouchable.” Lord Leinhart tried to speak calmly.“All my life I have granted all your wishes obediently, without refusing anyone. Now you want me to get married to that rotten dung? I'd rather have you disown me.” Mia said in a loud tone.“You will marry Mike and there is nothing you or anyone will do about….” Just when Lord Leinhart was about to complete his statement, the family’s butler rushed in.“My Lord,” The butler bowed in respect.“What is it? Why interrupt my discussion?” Lord Leinhart scolded him.“I think you must hear this urgently. It is about the young Miss.” the butler replied, piquing both grandfather and granddaughter’s interest.“What is it about?” Mia demanded, wanting to know what news about her came through the butler.“We received the young miss’s letter of marriage registration from the court.” The Butler.“What?!” Mia exclaimed.“I know the Nelson’s family are in a rush, but I didn't know they were this eager.” Lord Leinhart laughed out loud.“There is a little problem, my lord. The groom is not from the Nelson’s family.”"What do you mean by that?” Lord Leinhart asked in confusion.“From the letter we received from court, the groom is a young man called Logan Frost.”The news dropped as a bombshell to Mia because she had no idea of what they were speaking about nor had she ever heard the name Logan Frost. She knew her grandfather wasn’t going to take this matter lightly with her especially when he was desperate to marry her into the Nelson’s family. Her mind was in a state of confusion because she was still trying to process what had happened last night. One thing she was sure of is that she had really done it with the stranger that she woke up to. It was really a bad idea for her to get drunk in the city of gambling Her grandfather was going to throw a fit if he found out about that and this absurd news will make him melt a harsher punishment on her. A drunken mistake? He might banish her from the family and freeze her bank accounts, leaving her with nothing. Lord Leinhart was capable of doing this. She rather kept quiet about it and played her cards right to get a lighter sentence from her grandfather. “Erm, yes, that is the man I chos
The news came as a shock to Mia’s parents, and her mom was the first to speak in her defense. “Father, it would be unfair to ask her to sit at the back there without those failures at the back. She makes the most money in this family and there is no here that has ever beaten her record.”“I don’t know how Mia might have offended you, father but I think it is extreme that you asked her to sit there.” Mia’s Father added.“You two should join her on that table. She is your daughter, you should take responsibility for her actions too.” Lord Leinhart frowned.“Can’t you tell us what she did?” Mia’s mother asked. “If it’s something that you can’t disclose, please forgive her actions, father. It is my fault for not raising her right.”“What she did is unforgivable, accept your punishment and don’t speak to me about it again.” Lord Leinhart ordered.“She must have lost some big investment." One of the family members whispered to another.“In knew it. It was bound to happen one day. The finan
Logan was taken aback with the silence that was in the hall, he had expected the family to take the news surprisingly but he didn't expect that the once noisy hall would quiet down like that.He looked at Mia who looked scared when he first arrived. She looked like she was relieved at his presence. He wondered why she was teased around her own family.It was glaring that she wasn’t comfortable around them and somehow she remained there. Why would anyone have a meal with people they were not comfortable with?Lord Leinhart on the other hand was very furious, his plan of hiding his favorite granddaughter’ marriage had just failed before him. He didn’t want anyone in the family to know he would not have to melt out a harsher punishment to her.He had a soft spot for Mia, knowing that she was capable and was smarter than most of the members of the family, she had a lot of enemies that would be trying to use that against her.That was why he didn’t want to disclose it anyway but he would
Lord Leinhart’s announcement seemed to make everyone except Mia and her parents glad. They have been plotting ways to impeach Mia from her position as the CEO of the family business. Somehow Mia had been able to escape their traps without getting hit. This was a free opportunity that came to them for free. The members of the Leinhart family converted the position of the CEO because they could earn a lot from it..Being the highest position in the family, the CEO gets a new ride every three months and they stay in a luxurious Villa to themselves. They also get unrestricted trips around the world, plus recognition from everyone in the country.It is a position with killing for. “Father, that is extreme.” Mia’s mother lamented. “Stripping her off her positions and kicking us out is not fair on us.”“Sister-in-law, It is also fair that she gets punishment for marrying an unworthy man into the Leinhart family,” Melissa’s mother said back then she faced Lord Leinhart. “Father, now that
“Hahaha.” Melissa laughed out loud. “Look here, Mr nobody, do you think just anyone knows the insides of Starfall group? Even families as strong as the Leinhart family do not have so much connection when it comes to that company. Who can nobody like you know?”“Dear Cousin, your husband is so delusional, i din;t expect that your taste in men was this poor, I am disappointed in you,” She mocked Mia. “You should have picked up a few things from me in the past. You won’t have ended up with a useless, nameless man.”“If not for your boyfriend, I am sure you won’t know anyone in that company. Don’t act like you have already won this. Nothing has been finalized yet.” Mia’s mum came to her daughter's defense. She knew her daughter wasn’t a woman of many words and would not like to respond to everything her cousin says. She took her side but she was still angry that her daughter got married to a nobody.“Aunty, it is pretty obvious that I will win this, you should persuade your daughter to
Mia felt remorseful, she already felt bad enough that her life changed overnight and a reckless decision of hers, she had not even had the time to process the whole situation. Melissa, who was watching the whole situation from afar, walked up to them and faked a smile.“I hate to do this but we are family. What can a family do but help each other in times of trouble.” Melissa swung an old bunch of keys in her handShe was happy that Lord Leinhart had taken the car from Mia, she also loved the car and was trying to get it from the company but they sold it to Mia instead.Now was the chance for her to have it to herself.“Will you get to the point and stop beating around the bush?” Mia growled at her, knowing her cousin was up to mischievous acts. The last person she would trust was Melosaa.Every time Melissa tried to be nice to her it always ended up as a bad thing.“Xalm down cousin, I am trying to be good to you. After all you have been good to me in the past, this is a minor issue
“There is no problem, Let’s go to the Starfall company, it is past their lunch time right?” Logan asked the driver.“Er..” The driver looked at his wristwatch. “Yes sir.”“Okay!”“What are you having for lunch this afternoon? Remember that doctor said you cannot skip your meals so that your injuries can heal fast," The driver was concerned for his boss because he knew how picky he gets when it comes to eating.“I will just have the regular from that restaurant near my home after I finish up my business at Starfall group. Let's get going.” Logan answered.Following his boss’s instruction, the driver started the car and zoomed off to the Starfall group in the heart of the city.. Logan rested his back and started wondering how he was able to perform well in bed that night, he even slept off without waking up till the day broke.Another part of him wondered if Mia had noticed the multiple scars he had on his body due to the nature of his work. His thoughts made him want to have a conver
“I have seen many animals like you here so many times, it is high time we taught one of you a lesson so another animal like you won’t walk in here feeling important.” The head of the guards.“Imagine some like him saying he is here to see our CEO. How about you just look into some famous magazine instead of embarrassing yourself here.” All the guards laughed at the comment that the head of the guards made.The door of the elevator opened, a beautiful young lady emerged and walked directly to where the guards were standing with Logan. “What do you think you are doing!?” She yelled at the guards who held Logan down roughly.Hannah is the CEO of Starfall group whom Logan has given call to and ordered to come right away.She pushed them away from him, terrified of Logan’s wrath. If they got on his bad side, he could take all of them down with just an order.“Good afternoon, madam CEO,” The head of the guards said and all of them bowed down to her.“How exactly did you train your staff, H
