Maya exhaled, lazily, before speaking. “You don't have to.”“What?” Logan asked in a confused tone.Maya lifted her eyes as she said; “Don't worry I will turn myself in, after all it is all because of me that she is there. I just got a message from Smith.”“Smith? Who is Smith?” Logan asked.“He is Bardot's cousin.”“Oh! I see, what is the content of the message?”“He wants me in exchange for my mom, actually he wants you as well, but don't worry, I will face whatever it is even if it's to die, I will die and everything will return to normal.”She continued. “You have your mother to take care of, everything will be fine, I promise.”'What is she saying? She wants to die and leave me. Is she hearing herself?' Logan thought.“No I won't let you die, Maya! Just let me handle this. Please, I won't fail you.”Logan's phone began ringing, he took it out of his side pocket then tapped the answer button, he placed the phone on his ear. It was an unknown number which means he didn't know who t
Hospital ICU....Bardot lying in a hospital bed, if anyone had told him that in some hours later he would be in such a condition as he is now, he would never have believed. The quest of wanting Maya has landed him in a life and death situation. He is in a special care unit, the doctor in charge of his case is skeptical of his survival, according to him, Bardot was left way too long before he was rushed to the hospital.“He lost so much blood, and also he has been infected by the glass that pierced him. If he was here as soon as the accident happened, the case would have been different.” The doctor said as he pleaded his stethoscope on Bardot's chest.They made up a lie as to what caused Bardot's injury, and the doctor bought it.“Are you saying he won't survive this, doctor?" Kim, Bardot's mother, inquired. Her face bore a sign of tears, and eventually, it rushed down her cheeks. The doctor looked down at the file in his hand, and after some seconds he shifted his gaze at Kim and s
Rosalind already lost hope of coming out alive, since she was locked in there she had not tested food, not even water. Now she is experiencing what it means to be maltreated, Logan flashed through her mind. She remembered how she starved him for mistakenly breaking her wine bottle. She has just starved for not more than 3 hours, and she is already feeling depressed.“How did Logan endure 2 days of hunger without water? I have been so cruel to him, and I regret treating him that way.”As she was still speaking, she heard the sound of the door open because the room was dark, she didn't see the person. All she heard was a footstep the person was in a hurry, she panicked as she thought that the person was there to kill her without giving her the chance to see her daughter.“Please before you kill me, do me a favor, let me see my daughter for the very last time.”Smith scoffed as he heard her, he turned on the light, and quickly untied. Rosalind, however, was surprised, she was full of
Just the commander's phone began ringing he, however, was hesitant in answer the call, once they saw the caller ID, he sighed, it was Shawn, he knew that he was calling to order them to abort their operation. The commander wanted to deal with the knight's family, he had a personal grudge against them because of what they did to his brother in the past.He reluctantly pressed the answer button and placed it on his ear. “Hello, boss!”“Mike! I am calling to tell you to abort the mission immediately.” “But we are yet to complete the assignment.” Mike objected.“Well, I would have let you complete it, but the young master said it should be discontinued for the moment.”As he heard the young master, his heart skipped, “I will do as you command, sir.” The call ended.He gestured his team to discontinue whatever they were doing, and they left without a word. “What just happened, weren't they supposed to let us know what to hope for, they just left, just like. Smith said. He was not the on
The Fairfax mansion.“Logan! Logan,” Olivia called while hitting on the door to Maya's room. She came as soon as she saw Maya leaving for work. Maya left to work though it was a Sunday, she left very early, so she didn't stay for breakfast.A paperwork was waiting for her in the office, she had an unfinished assignment designated to her by her grandmother. Something that was supposed to be handled by at least 3 persons, but she gave it to Maya just to punish her.If she left it until Monday, it will be a massive setback for her, and she may not have the chance to attend a conference meeting that will be coming up on Tuesday.At this conference, she will be meeting with so many wealthy businessmen and women coming from various part of the world, so she wouldn't want to miss it for anything. Who knows, she might be fortunate to meet investors.Rosalind was still in bed, left for her, nothing will be accomplished that day, after all, it's a resting day. Maya made her breakfast before le
Their laughter was piercing through Logan's heart, if it wasn't for Maya, he would have done something bad to this family. “Mom, what's going on, is the food not ready yet?” With that said, Annette gave him a cold glare.“Was that question supposed to be for me or for this peasant?”“I am sure mom, just that grandma heard your voices as you were laughing, so she sent me to come know what was going on.”Logan was done with the dishes and was preparing the breakfasts, it was not easy for him because he had to make different foods at least 5 of them.“My smoothie should be very soft and sweetened, you know how I like it, if there is any mistake you will remake it and also pay for the waste.” Olivia warned as she saw that Logan was about to blend the fruit.“Chief boxer, be fast with that everyone is getting tired of waiting, and before I get to the dinning make sure you are done with grandma's coffee.”Some minutes later, Logan was done with the breakfast, and he was in the dinning, ser
“Yes, we heard her loud and clear, but what does that have to do with us.” Olivia said. “She can be one of our investors, she can even influence her co superstar to invest. Our company can grow from just textiles to a growing fashion industry.”Ever since Gloria became an actress, Raymond has never stopped singing her praises to people, he was a proud father.“How much does Gloria have in account right now, does she even have up to a billion dollars in her name?we are looking at 3 billion dollars for a start, and you are here blabbing about Gloria. Gloria my foot.” Huxley said in reply to his brother.Gloria, the person in question, was out last night, parting all night.“At least she is independent, what can you say about your daughter Olivia? Aside from interfering in other people's business, what is her contribution to the family business, can you be proud of her for any good achievement?” Vivian fired back at Huxley, who was attacking her husband.At this, Huxley kept quiet, trut
Monday morning. At the Fairfax's Mansion.“Logan, what are you up to, are you going somewhere or something?” Maya inquired, she was done preparing for family breakfast. Though it is not her responsibility to make breakfast for the whole family, she was avoiding anything that could make the pick on Logan.“Remember I told you I got a job from the man who helped pay my mother's hospital bill?” Logan replied as he put on his trousers.“Oh yes, I remember. What position did he offer?” Maya inquired.“I do not know yet, when I get there, I will know. Wish me well.'' Logan said.“Good luck. Stay for breakfast, it's ready.” Maya said.“Alright, I will.” Replied and gave out a sly smile.“Shall we?” Maya said as she leads the way to the dinning. Wherefore every other person has taken their seat at the dinning.When Olivia and Annette saw Logan, they at once began laughing at him silently as they whispered to each other.Annette began, “He is off to work as he said he would yesterday. Hahaha!
