The Formidable Reluctant heir

Chapter 3

"What was I thinking!? How could I allow this to happen? Not me thinking that laying low can help my wife and l to live happily, how insane of me?"

As a mere live-in son in-law, it is impossible to protect his wife and his beloved ones, he can't even pay for his foster mother's hospital bill.

Logan still on his thoughts. 'I am aware of Maya's genuine love for me, she has loved me despite my predicaments. Money and social status is indeed very important, if not how on earth will I be able to save the one who has been there for me? Look at her laying helplessly on the hospital bed.'

Logan briefly looked at Juliana and shook his head then muttered "Without high social status and money I won't be able to save you mother."

Juliana was fast asleep, she was having great pain and the doctor had to give a pain relief injection which made her sleep.

His thoughts took him back to what had happened earlier at the café.

"How dare Rosalind suggest such a despicable thing, to sell of my beloved Maya to someone else, just because I am not of a high status personality and I have no money." Logan soliloquised loudly, and if anyone was closed bye he might think that either he was conversing with someone or he has gone crazy.

"How insensitive of you mother in-law." He said and scoffed.

"Maya had to even beg for money, humiliating herself for me all because I don't have money and and high society status. Meanwhile I should be the one providing for her, to give her the luxury live that she truly deserve."

"And because of me the entire Fairfax family despise her, even people from outside. Maya my true love, you deserve 100% happiness but I have done nothing to give you that."

And for ten minutes straight, Logan was soliloquizing. To a point he became angry at himself.

He reluctantly picked up his phone, he scrolled through his contact list, but unfortunately the particular contact he was looking for was no longer saved on the phone.

Logan recalled he had deleted the contact number 2 years ago. It was no other than his father's contact number, Patrick Vanderbilt.

Logan hated his father so much that he had to delete his contact number from his phone, but Mr Vanderbilt won't stop calling him, and Logan kept ignoring all his calls.

And thank for Sharp memory, Logan had his father's contact number in heart, so quickly he put in the Numbers and dialled it. At this moment his heart was beating very fast out of anger and in fright.

Mrs Vanderbilt, Logan biological mother was mistreated by Mr Vanderbilt and she became hypertensive and on top of that Mr Vanderbilt brought his mistress, Luna Mitchell home to live them.

Luna's mistreatment to Logan's mother lead to her death. Logan was way too young to defend his mother, he swore never to forgive his father and Luna for his mother's death.

Logan left when he was 10 years old, and while he was roaming the streets of Gateway City dirty and hungry, Juliana a 38 years old widow saw him and felt pity for him. She took him in as her foster son.

Juliana's full name is Juliana ledger, she lost her husband few years after their marriage and they didn't have children. She decided not to get married ever again for the reason best known to her.

Ever since, Juliana had treated Logan with love and kindness as though he was her biological son. So with all the love shown to him by Juliana, his now foster mother, Logan had nothing that could make him go back to his father, he hated him that much.

Unfortunately to logan, for him to save his dying mother and also to give Maya, his wife a luxury life she deserve he have to turn to his father Mr Vanderbilt, the man he hates so much.

The phone on the other end didn't ring twice and someone answered it.

"Hello young master!"

There was short silence from Logan, he was expecting his father's voice, but it was Mr Shawn Brook his father's Butler who answered the phone, he was relieved however, it wasn't the devil that answered.

Because of the anger he feels for his father, Logan nicknamed him. Devil.

"Hello, Mr Shawn." Logan replied.

"It's good to hear from you, young master Vanderbilt."

"Enough of that name calling, Mr Shawn!" Logan screamed as Shawn called him young master Vanderbilt. He hate to be called by that name.

"I am sorry young master, if I offended you." Shawn said apologetically.

"Apology accepted." Logan replied. He knew better than beating around the bush.

He continued." After much thought I have agreed to be the heir of the Vanderbilt's family as Mr Patrick Vanderbilt has demanded." He announced.

Logan prefer calling his father by his full name rather than calling him father. He had wanted to say, 'as the devil' demanded but he on the other hand he wanted to be polite.

When the butler heard his announcement he was greatly overjoyed that he didn't even know when he began jumping, he realised himself when his kneel joints began hurting. A man that is over 60 years old shouldn't even jump.

"Hello, Mr Shawn are you okay?" Logan inquire as he heard what seemed like deep groaning at the other end.

Shawn's join hurts so bad that he briefly drop the phone on the floor. when he heard Logan's question, he quickly picked up the phone from the floor and placed it on his ear.

"Yes I am okay young master." He is kneel still hurts but he covered it up, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

"Alright then. Also let him know that I will never forgive him no matter what."

"I will tell him all that you have said young master."

The call ended. Logan let out a sigh of relief, first he didn't speak directly to his father and secondly the two people he loves and cares so much for are about to get a better life now that he is going to be the heir of the most prestigious family in their Providence and also in the cities near bye.

The Vanderbilt's family owns the largest and richest conglomerate in Gateway city and diaspora.
