Logan walked away from the table, his mind racing. As he reached a secluded hallway, he pulled out his phone and dialed his assistant, Sam. "Sam, I need you to hack into the casino's surveillance system," Logan Whispered urgently. "Find out everything you can about the Chaperone. I think he has been stealing from me." “Sir, don’t you think we are going too far, the contract..” his assistant was trying to explain but Logan cut him off. “I will get the driver to put me on the phone with the hacking team, you are fired!” Logan said "I’m sorry sir, I must have snapped out of it.” Sam said, this was the first time he was seeing his boss act out. It must be because of his wife. He couldn’t afford to lose his job because of the Nelsons. The Starfall group pays their workers the highest salary in the whole country, he knew if his boss fired him he would never find a better offer. On it, boss," Sam replied, the sound of rapid typing immediately following his words. “Send the video to
Logan’s vision blurred as he leaned against the cold brick wall, gasping for breath. Blood trickled from the bullet wound in his side, soaking through his shirt. The strength to fight back at savini’s men had disappeared from him. He didn’t signal to his men to come after him.It was impossible for them to even locate him because he had lost his phone, there was nowhere they could track him down. The nelson’s garage was linked directly to another part off the down so his guards were not at that part.He had told his assistant not to dispatch so many men to avoid suspicion. A part of him regretted not listening to Sam.Savini and his men had vanished into the night, leaving him behind. He had no phone, no backup, and no hospital nearby. His only chance was Mia. Her house was the closest to where he was and his bleeding had gotten worse.The stitch from his old injury around his stomach had opened up, he couldn’t get to an hospital because of his identity or contact his assistant with
Mia cleaned out the blood on the sheet, and managed to move him over to the other side of the bed so she could change the bed clothes and put a fresh one on it. Working out when she was stressed at work really did pay off, even though it was hard to move a man like Logan, he was quite heavy but she managed to pull it off.She deliberated in her mind on where to hand wash the sheets or burn them to avoid any suspicions from her parents when they woke up the next morning.Wash will definitely attract their attention because her mom was sensitive to running water. If she opened the taps, she would surely wake up.Even if she didn’t wake up, spreading the clothes will also catch their attention so her best option was to burn the clothes.She packed them up, grabbed her phone with a match box then she headed to the incinerator down the street. There was no way her parents would be able to tell that she left home to burn clothes, if she went there in a tracksuit.Even if her dad woke up an
Logan woke up in a white, plain room, he didn’t recognise where he was but he could perceive the scents of his wife so he knew he was in safe hands.Her fragrance never left his head since the night they were together. He was relieved at the thought he wasn't in Savini’s hands helpless and alone without contact with his men.He knew they would have tracked him down to where he was but they didn’t approach him because his assistant knew about the Situation with Mia and her parents. He got up from the bed, feeling thirsty then he headed to the kitchen to get some water. As he stepped into the kitchen, he bumped into Mia's dad.‘Shit,” he cursed internally. He didn’t think that her parents would have woken up at the time he was heading to the kitchen. Instead of running off, he raised his head up. “Good morning, Mr Leinhart.”“What are you doing here?” Their shock was written in his face, “How did you get in here? Who let you in? Guards!” he yelled Mia’s father forgot for a moment that
Logan’s plan got a little sweaty as he wondered how his father-in-law had food out what had happened between him and Mia. “Sir, I can explain, we didn’t really mean for things to turn out like this.”He wasn’t sure of what to say because he didn’t want him to get more angry at him. The situation on ground was more than he could handle. He didn’t want to break how they got married without Mia being present.“I just knew it. Mia is never the type to act rashly. Why did you do this with her? Because of money? Or you had investigated the Leinharts family so you now covet our family’s wealth?” Her father asked which challenged him a bit.He didn’t even know much about the Leinharts or how wealthy they were until he met Mia.“I am sorry to disappoint you, you can't get anything from us if those are your plans. It will never work out. If you are wise enough, just follow the divorce procedures like we asked.” It had crossed his mind to sign the divorce papers if her family asked again but wh
“The marriage contract that you signed with him so you would not marry into the Nelson’s family,” Her after said. “I blame myself when I didn’t agree with you mother to sign the marriage offer we got from the Arabian prince.” “Arabian prince?” She thought to herself. That was new to her but she didn’t want to push that with him, her goal was to overreact and take Logan away so that he would not spill how they actually got married to her father.. “It really crossed your mind to marry me off to an Arabian prince. What difference is that and what grandfather wanted to do to me?” Tears trickled from her eyes while she spoke. It was enough that her parents were never interested whenever her grandfather gave her a task to do.Logan watched her cry but he didn’t move, he knew it wasn’t genuine. He had seen her sad a few times and that wasn’t how she looked. He was resisting his laughter.Her parents knew very few things about her,that is how she could get away with some
Seeing how reluctant he was to speak, she knew if he said anything to her, it wasn’t going to be the truth. She had a principle of letting people tell her their truth.Even if it ends up being a lie, Mia preferred to discover that herself rather than to force anyone to give her informationIf she was being pressed about something she was not willing to share, she just lies automatically. She didn’t want him to lie to her especially when she knew nothing about him.And the investigation she had conducted on him showed nothing on him.He was someone that she married and she could barely read him, she didn’t want to get used to him lying to her.“Er..” he started. He wanted to explainShe placed his finger over his lips. “Shuush. If you're not ready to talk about it, I will wait.”His eyes were fixed on her and he swallowed hard at her response. He wasn’t going to lie to her. He was going to say he got hit by leaving the casino, which meant that he was leaving the dangerous parts of th
“Are you really going to follow all of this?” Sam asked Logan who could not stop smiling as he was reading the contract all of over again. He found it funny, this was the most unserious, no, the only unserious contract he had ever read in his life. Mia didn’t seem like she could come up with something as hilarious as what he was reading.She was very stern on the side but she was showing him a goofy side. A tough CEO, a cute wife. That wasn't bad for him.Logan had never been with a woman, he had spent his whole life training to be an agent, and also working underground for his family’s company. “Why not?” He said, still grinning not taking his eyes off the papers. “I can do most of the things here easily.” Sam was surprised at the response he got from Logan, he couldn't believe that a man like his boss who called commands for a lot of agents and makes decisions that can affect the whole country is agreeing to follow the decisions his wife was making.The people that said love cha
