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
“Is Mike back? Get him here at once.” Lord Nelson barked at his butler who was standing behind him. “Yes sir.” The butler answered in fear and hurried to Mike’s room while the angry Lord Nelson kept pacing around his room, reading the message he got from Logan.He got wind of what happened at the casino, he planned to not make an issue out of it but the message he got from Logan that made him check the garden’s footage spiked his anger level.Mike wasn’t a saint and lord nelson knew that but he could not disown him or kick him. He was aware of most of the atrocities from school but he chose to ignore it.Few minutes later, the butler returned with Mike who still had sleep in his eyes. He had returned late from work, trying to clean up the mess Logan had created in the casino so Lord nelson.“What have you done!!!!” Lord Nelson yelled. He had tried to bottle up his anger. “Why do you keep causing me problems?” Mike had been in Lord Nelson's care since he was a child.His parents passe
The night of the Moon Festival finally came for the Leinhart family. It was a special occasion, it was a night that they had been observing in their family for years, it started a way for the family members to bond and grow close, but over the year, it had become a way for people to come together to pretend to be nice to each other and show off how much money they had with the gifts that they brought for Lord Leinhart. Voices rang through the night as people mingled within the expansive Leinhart estate.The Leinharts, a distinguished family known for their wealth and social standing, were all seated in the grand hall, awaiting the festivities to commence. The room was adorned with elaborate decorations, lanterns casting a soft, ambient glow that bathed the space in a warm, golden light. A sense of anticipation lingered in the air, heightened by the significance of the night.Mia sat among her family, her eyes darting around the room, searching for someone. She looked very elegant, h
Melissa seized the opportunity to whisper loud enough for nearby ears, “Seems some people have their own sense of timing, don’t they?” Her words, tinged with mockery, were directed at Mia, suggesting that Logan’s tardiness reflected poorly on her. “He is not even hiding the fact that he has no regard for our family, what can we do with a man like this in our family. Grandpa, you should do something about him before he stains our name in public.” Lord Leihart was quiet and only took a sip of his tea. “Other son-in-laws that are from other reputable families have been here since yesterday but a nameless one chose to come late on the D-day. He doesn’t deserve to be in this family. It is a shame that Mia chose to marry someone like this.” Meliss’a mom said to support her daughter. Maliya was fuming in her seat but she had promised her husband to remain calm at the event and not exchange words with anyone. She knew that the best revenge would come whenever she returned to her position.
The room fell silent, the earlier whispers and giggles faded. Lord Leinhart’s eyes widened with genuine surprise and delight, a rare occurrence for someone like him.The Leinhart saw that he was impressed with the gift, that was the only time he was an happy expression since everyone presented their own gifts“Isn’t that the most sought after Jade that you missed at the party in France,” the butler exclaimed. “How did you get it??.” He faced Logan.The butler is close to Lord Leinharts so he was aware of how much his boss had longed to have the Jade for himself. It was the best gift that Lord Leinhart had received from anyone in a long time.It was a blue dragon Jade that was so rare, that is why the topmost people own it. “An old friend of mine gifted it to me.” Logan said. His answer spiked up murmurs amongst the Leinharts.“He has a friend that can actually afford a Jade? Maybe he is a unknown rich man, look at suit, it looked like an handmade suit that cost more than a fortune.’
