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 hand
She 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 that you and your parents have now. I should help out,” She faced Mia’s parents. “Aunty and Uncle don’t you agree?”
“I know you are happy to see us this way, Mia will be back to take her spot soon.” Mia’s mom said in her daughter's defense. She was annoyed that Mia was going to keep quiet and not defend herself.
“Aunty, you should not speak to me like that. I do not like that kind of attitude when I just offered to help you. That would make you an ingrate.” Melissa said in a disrespectful manner.
“Your family just lost their place as in the first table, you are in the third class, so you should act like where you belong.” She added. “Speaking of hierarchy, I am superior now.”
Mia was fuming with anger and she yelled “You keep going about how you intend to help us but you have been insulting my mom since you opened your mouth, will you offer you help or let us go our own way?”
She hated that Melisaa was speaking to hurt their feelings in the past, even when Mia had the upper hand, she had never mistreated Melissa and her mom or spoke impolitely to her aunty.
“You are surely shameless, Mia. I can’t believe you still talk to me this way. SAnyway, since I am kind, I will just go to the point.” She threw the old key she was holding at Mia and she caught it at once.
“That is the key to the oldest car in this compound, it was the car you used when you were sixteen, uncle Mason. I am sure you are familiar with it. Grandpa doesn’t know anything about it so feel free to take it.”
A driver drove an old and shabby car to where they were standing, Mia was so shocked to see the state of the car, she could swear that she had never seen it before, the car was obviously way older than her.
Mason and his wife felt so insulted, everyone knew them and their exotic cars but now they would have to ride in a shabby, old car that no one had used for a long time.
But they had no choice but to get into the car.
Meslisa laughed in her mind because she knew the case of the car, it would not even last a couple of miles before they reached their detention, the car was really in a bad shape.
It hasn’t been maintained in the past twenty years, she asked one of the family drivers to go and bring it from the junkyard in the Villa, the car was supposed to heaven scrapped off or something but somehow it was still there,
She plotted a plan to teach her cousin and her parents a lesson using that car.
“Have a safe journey while you ride,” Miesllsia banded as they were about to get into the car. Mia got into the driver’s seat, just as Logan was about to get into the driver’s seat, Mason stopped him.
“What do you think you are doing?”
“Getting into the car sir. We should leave together.” Logan replied.
“Do you think you deserve to get into the car with us after causing us this trouble?” Mason yelled at him. “Find your way to the people that owns you nd do not follow us.”
Mason got into the back seat with his wife and slammed the door. “Move it car.” He ordered his daughter.
Mia looked at Logan before she ignited the car and started driving the car. She felt sorry for leaving him behind, she had no choice but to obey them.
They were already mad at her for getting married to him without her knowledge, she didn't want to worsen the situation.
“Pathetic family.” Melissa mocked as they drove away. “DSid they leave their newest member of family to work as a slave hee or what use is he to us over here?”
She hissed and swayed her hips inside the Villa, the other members of the Leinhart family that were watching the drama also went back inside the house, leaving Logan alone in front of the house.
He shook his head in disdain, compared to his own family, the Leinahrt family are worse and they didn’t realize how much damage they were doing to each other by keeping their fights up.
Lord Leinhart himself is the one fuelling the whole situation by making them compete against each other. What he had seen there made him determined to help Mia out of the citation.
She was trying to keep their marriage a secret because it was going to backfire then, he didn’t know that it was going to be such a big matter like this. She and parents have been stripped of their titles because of him.
While he still had these thoughts going on, the driver showed up with a pre-rease version of the latest Audi car, even the one that no one in the world had laid their hands on.
The car screamed luxury, none of the Leinhart noticed the car, a tall strong man got down from the car to greet Logan.
“I am sorry for taking so long, Young Master, this car just arrived from the port and it took a while to clear.” The driver explained why he was late as he opened the door of the car for Logan to get in.
“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
The Leinhart family gathered in the family lounge, waiting for Lord Leinhart to arrive, Mia too was running late. Her father was strung to get worried about her.She was taking too long, he feared that she didn’t want to return home because of some bad news. “Where is your daughter? She left the home before I even woke up this morning. What in the world is she up to?”“If father arrives before her, let’s stall for some time, you may scold her later,” Mason managed to convince his wife.Lord Leinhart walked in and they all stood up to bow before him. “Good evening, you may have your seat.”Mia’s mum was the first to speak, “father-in-law, you must have missed us seeing how you can quickly invite us to your family meeting.”She didn’t have the intention of speaking but she was going to protect her daughter at all cost. Mia will definitely get yelled at if they waited a long time before she showed up.Even if she was late for a good Her words brushed Lord Leinhart’ ego and how she call
Everywhere went silent after they heard Robert Gu’s statement, not even Maliya expected that kind of citation when she asked her husband's niece to give her boyfriend a call about the contract.Melissa stifften in her seat as she didn;t even see what he said coming, her eyes met with her family's then she regained her composure. Robert had made her an object of ridicule already.Instead of hanging up she spoke up again. “How dare you think you can just break up with me? Are you really looking down on the Leinhart’s family right now?”“I have no more words to share with you, Melissa, never call this line again!” he hung up right after.“Grandpa, the Starfall group are really looking down on us. They do not deserve to work with us, how about we just work with the Nelson’s family.” Melissa suggests quickly covering her embarrassment.“Keep quiet for once!” Lord Leinhart oredeed. “An important deal just slipped out of your hand and you can suggest that we go to the Nelson’s family,”“But
Everyone went silent, waiting for Lord Leimhart to speak. Things have gotten quite messy between Mia and Melissa. It was clear that Mia had gotten the deal on her own but Melissa was hell bent on not letting her take the position.There is no way she would let Mia take it away from her, and Mia won’t give the post up so easily, her parents won’t let her do it if she wanted to.But what mattered was Lord Leinhart’s decisions, whether they liked it or not, they would only be following their decision.The old man was still mad that Mia didn’t marry that suitor of his choice so he wasn’t going to forgive her so easily, if he did, she would only be going against him each time he gives her an order in the future she would not obey him.Besides he still wanted her to marry the heir of the Nelson’s family because of the deal he wanted from them. He didn’t want her to marry a nobody so that she would have a strong backing when she is leading the future.He was just going to use Melissa to p
