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 not protect the secret anymore. Aside from protecting her, the Nelson;s have higher chances of leaning on her marriage to another man now that the whole family knows that she is married to someone else.
Mia’s eyes were fixed on Logan, the man that she had woken up to,she had jumped out of the hotel without asking him for his name or any important information.
Her feelings were very mixed up at that moment, she was angry, surprised that he would show up at her family home, the most part of her was at comfort that he was there. She felt a sense of security around him.
It was rare for her to feel safe around people, she was even so comfortable with her parents, not to speak about a man she had a one night stand with.
“Will you mind explaining this to the family?” Lord Leinhart demanded, bringing her out of her thoughts.
“What did you say, grandfather?” She asked as she didn’t hear the question he asked her at first.
“Have you lost your mind now that he is here?” Lord Lienhart yelled as he was already losing his patience. “Tell us what is going on right!”
“Er… Grandpa, this man here is my good friend. We have been friends for a while now.. He is here to visit me as we have some pending issues to discuss.” She quickly covered up what Logan said.
“Good friends? That is not just what we are, sweetie. We are married.” he said and brought out a paper from his pocket then he showed the whole family. “I am sure that the Leinhart family must have received a copy of this today. This is the proof that I am legally married to Mia Leimhart.”
Meslisa got up from her seat and quickly snatched the paper from him to confirm if he wasn’t lying, “He is not lying. She is really married to him. Her stamp is on it.”
Most of the people in the family had their jaws dropping, they didn’t know that Mia was gouging to marry someone else asides the heir to the Nelson’s family.
Lord Leinhart slammed his hands on the table in anger. His fear had been confirmed. Her family members whispered almost to each other.
“I can't believe she is married to someone else. Father really wanted her to marry the heir of the Nelson's family.” One of her aunties said.
“It would be fake. We all know that Mia is one of the most sought spinster, he might be trying to creep his way into our family.”
“But you see that stamp on the registration is hers, grandpa had personally customized that stamp for her. No one in this world has anything like it.” Melissa said.
“I wonder how Grandpa must be feeling now. He really wanted her to marry Mike Nelson but she is now married to a poor man instead. What a plot twist.”
“Being Grandpa's favorite can not help her escape getting her penalty this time. I am sure father doesn’t support this bizarre behavior of hers." Melissa's mom
assured her daughter.
“Even if she wanted to defy her grandfather, couldn't she have picked from a better family. She picked nobody without a family to back him. I am sure he is so poor.’
“That must be the reason why grandpa kicked her back to the last table.'' Melissa said aloud for the whole family to hear what she said.”
“Is what he said true?” Mia’s mother questioned her but shw was unable to answer.
“I am so disappointed in you, Mia. How could you do to us and to yours? Did we raise you up to end up with a sloth like him?” Her father yelled at her angrily.
Her parents had thought that her grandfather was punishing her for some different reasons but they were embarrassed that she married a man like Logan.
From his name, he wasn’t a member of the top families in their city and he would do them no good.
“Why are you both yelling at her?” Lord Leinhart faced Mia’s parents. “It is your fault that this happened to her.”
“If you had taken your time to teach her about the family’s values, she wouldn't dare marry an ordinary person. Do not scold her.” He wanted to. “You have failed to raise her well, swallow your mistakes.”
Mia pinched herself hard, regretting what she did because her grappa was surely going to take his anger out on her parents.
“I can’t believe your grandpa is still defending her in this situation.” Melisaa’s mom spat loud enough for Lord Leinart to hear.
“Quiet.” Lord Leinhart cleared his throat and frowned. “From today, Mia will no longer be the CEO of the company. Her parents will have to leave the Villa with her. None of them is to return until she gets a divorce with her no-background husband."
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
Hannah walked to her table and put a call through her secretary. “Hello, tell the general manager to come to my office right away.” She ordered before dropping the call.“I will speak to the general manager right now and ask about the issue,” she said as she walked back to seat opposite Logan. “This will be resolved in no time.”She toyed with her fingers nervously because she feared that the allegations might be true. Not only the manager’s job will be at stake but her own job too.Robert Gu walked into the office after knocking and he was asked to come in.“Good morning ma’am. How was you...?” He stopped in his tracks as soon as he noticed Logan sitting in the middle of the office.The chair he sat on was the special chair that the CEO often had told him that it belonged to the heir of the company.Shock gripped him as he was surprised to see him there.“What are you doing? Sitting there?” Robert asked rudely. “Do you know you are not supposed to sit there? Even the CEO doesn’t sit
Mason Leinhart was really annoyed with his daughter, all his wife, he had never done anything to prompt his father to kick him out of the house.“Honey, have you called your best friend ? Tell him we are coming to spend a few days at his place. Till we resolve this issue at hand.” Mia's mother told her husband.“I already tried calling him but he didn’t pick up, he must have heard about the change in power. In the past, if I called him once even if he was sick he would pick up immediately.” Mason complained.“I have also called my sister to let us stay at the Villa but she said her husband is trying to strike a deal with Lord Leinhart so we need to stay away from them for a while so that the deal doesn’t get called off.” his wife replied.She continued to complain bitterly, “How could they do this to us? After All we did to support their company in the past, is this how they are supposed to treat us? We haven’t spent up to twenty hours outside the Leinhart Villa.”Mia sighed as her p
The next day, just as her father had instructed, she rented a car and drove down to the Starfall group . She knew that luck wasn’t on her side and the odds were not in her Favour.Melissa’s boyfriend works there so she is well connected already but her own husband said he knew someone there.A part of her really wanted to trust him seeing how he played superhero the previous day but the business woman in her knew it was not okay to put total trust into verbal promises.As she got to the front of the door, she said a word of prayer silently in her heart then she summoned courage to get down from the car.The situation she met there was quite different from what she had expected in the first place.Mia got into a busy lobby and she was confused about where to go. A newbie staff in a company like this will need a map to get around.The company was too times bigger than her own company and the interior designs reeked of elegance and money.“The Architects did a badass job.” She thought to
