Riley sat by a beach house and sipped from a glass of margarita, smiling and blushing as she read through the blogs.

What they have said about Logan D’Nores, her ex-lover cannot be true, after all she once dated him, and he was one of the cleanest men she ever knew.

But then again, he was extremely secretive to her: not letting her visit his house and some of the sneaky calls that he took when they spent some time in a hotel, which Riley thought were calls to other women trying to gain his attention.

She hadn’t bothered herself much about it, because he was famous and drop-dead handsome, so it was only normal that he had girls flocking around him.

She had even been told once that he had been with someone else, and she just shrugged it off. When their relationship had ended, she had told the world that he was cheating way too much, and she just couldn’t stand it.

Her fans had stood by her, but Logan D’Nores was too loved and popular to be judged by his sins.

Emma had confirmed it too t

    “Do you want to guess?” Emma chuckled and said, bringing Riley back from her reverie.Riley only smiled back, wishing now that she had kept her words stuck in her mouth, but she had been too awed by Emma’s new look to keep the words hostage.It now seems to Riley that everyone else is getting their lives together except her.And it makes her conscious of her own present look, but thankfully, she had worn sunscreen shades, so anyone would hardly be able to notice her patched eyes.Riley just smiled tightly and took a sip from her drink.“Well, I would like a glass of margarita too. I am a little thirsty,” Emma said instead when her eyes were drawn to Riley’s drink.“Oh, is that what you would have? They have all sorts of alcoholic drinks,” Riley suggested, amazed that Emma would opt for what she was having for the very first time.The bitch was as drawn to alcohol as bees to flowers, so what the hell happened to her in Hawaii?!Emma snorted, “Oh no, I am taking a long break from all of

    Even after Logan defended me in front of everyone that mattered to him, I still went up to my room and locked the door immediately Ethan left.Leah was too stunned at her brother’s actions to say a word.Now my emotions are in a mix because I do not know what to make of this. Clearly, this is not the mafia boss that dragged me into a marriage with him.This is not the monster I want to take my revenge on so badly. All of a sudden he is vulnerable and caring, because if not for Logan’s intervention, Ethan and Leah were more than ready and willing to tear me apart.So if Logan had seen and heard Ethan question me the other day, why then did he say absolutely nothing about it? I am certain that he also heard me admitting to meeting with Kozlova, and yet he never mentioned any of it to me.If at all, I had expected him to confront me about it and inform me of his displeasure. Trying to decipher the sort of man Logan is can really be confusing.Anyway, the moment I removed my phone from a

    Logan’s POVI went to my study and sat down to clear my head at least, but first, I made sure I took some painkillers to dull the headache already springing up.I just had to, even though I absolutely hate to take the drugs, because it leaves a sour taste in my tongue for a while, but I would rather have that sour taste than battle with a migraine, especially now that I have to keep my head above the water.Usually, I would have just taken my car and driven to the casino by now. That place has a way of soothing my troubled spirit, and that is something people do not know, even Ethan.When I opened the casino, it was basically because I loved the idea of it, but over the years, it became my source of solace and comfort, but I cannot do that now, because of everything at stake.Maybe I should ring up the Cook and have her prepare that soup of hers that has some sort of magic to make pains and illnesses go away, even though I hate that one too.Anything to make me feel better right now i

    The interview video was released, and all news of Logan’s involvement in the mafia business dropped like magic.Investigations were ceased, and an apology was tendered to Logan for rudely accusing him of something so criminal!The whole scandal did not even last up to twenty-four hours, and everything had puffed into thin air.I could not believe it myself. I had no idea that life worked that way for people who are influential and famous.As for the once being completely dragged down for one rumor or another, they must really have been careless or lack a good PA like Ethan to make all PR nightmares go away.Everyone who judged Logan started to eat back their words. Bloody hypocrites!My phone buzzed beside me on my bed as I lay and thought of everything that was going on, and indeed, my most dreaded call came in; Lan.I had thought of blocking his number when everything went away, but that would aggravate him more, and might push him to the edge.Ever since I picked up my phone to cal

    Ethan paced about in the hallway waiting.This was beginning to take longer than usual, and he was not comfortable with it.The whole thing blew over quicker than he had anticipated, but then, that was why he had picked the best in the game to carry out that interview, even if he had to pay through his nose. It was either that, or they all go down.Unfortunately, Logan does not fucking realize that.Anyway, he has decided to not dwell on the rift between him and Logan right now. Ever since he and Logan became thicker than blood, they have never had any form of misunderstanding. Not in the business, and certainly not in their finances.But with a woman!It has often been said that the one thing that can cause a war between two brothers is a woman, but Ethan would rather trample on his pride before he would let that happen, especially for a Morgan girl.Logan might choose to be blind now, because he has obviously fallen for this one, but that would not stop Ethan from allowing him fall

    I did not bother to go out of my room ever since, and somehow, I wondered if Tia would go through the trouble of bringing my meals to my room. Not that I have been hungry, but still…I do not expect her to be more loyal to me than her employer, especially when she does not know the story behind what is going on, and judging from how well she has spoken about Logan before now, it is only normal that she would not believe what the blogs says about him.She loves and adores him just as much as every other young girl and woman in New York.There was a knock on the door, and before I could ask whoever it was to come in, Tia stepped in, albeit cautiously.It would be the first time since she started addressing me by my first name to ever walk into my room like that. It did not hurt me, though.I had not even had anyone particular in mind that I had wanted to be the caller; right now, my head is too bland to want or wish for anything.“The table is set,” she said blankly. “Thank you, Tia, b

    Leah and Logan stared at each other like enemies at war.“I have never given you any right to speak to anyone in such uncouth manner before, much more Alice, but just in case you did not know, because I did not spell it out for you, you have absolutely no right. Stay out of her way, please,” Logan berated her.Oh heavens, would he have to embarrass his entire family just to protect me?This should make me happy, but it actually doesn’t. Acting like this will only set me up for more hate and attack from Leah and Ethan.The ones from Leah, I can very well handle on my own, but I do not know what to do with Ethan. Also, Leah is very much right about all the things she has spewed out of her mouth.I only wonder why Logan is going through the trouble of fighting for me and protecting me if he does not give a shit about me, and when all of this is over, it would only make Leah make more mockery of me.Anyway, it is a good thing I am not allowing it get into my head, at least.“You will fuck

    Logan’s POVI still feel terrible about how Ethan and Leah are treating Alice. Whatever bloody suspicions they have about her, they should shove it down their throat.Having to deal with the scandal is one thing, but seeing them treat Alice like one of the defaulters at the ring just doesn’t sit right with me, and I think I really need to be more firm with my warning.I checked Leah’s room, but she wasn’t there, and just when I turned towards the stairs, wanting to go and check for her in the living room, I heard the sound of Leah’s voice, and of course Ethan’s voice coming from the patio. Angrily, I walked over to them.“Is there a party going on that I wasn’t invited to?” I asked, my tone sounding harsher than I even intended.Ethan and Leah turned and looked at me, their expressions bland. Anyway, maybe they are now used to me sounding like that, especially recently.“Just the man I was talking about,” Ethan said and grinned dryly. Somehow, the air around all three of us is not ta

    Logan’s POV“Why isn’t Ethan picking his damn phone?!” I muttered in exasperation and I continued to dial his number and pace around the living room.Leah just sat on the couch and stared.Ethan has been gone for some days now without telling me where he was going, which is unlike him, and very upsetting.“You need to relax, I am sure Ethan will soon be here,” Leah said to me.Then something clicked in my head. “Hold on, did he tell you where he was going?” I asked Leah and she looked away, a sheepish grin playing on her lips.Damn these folks, they are indeed playing a fast one on me.I heard the door creak open, and I turned immediately to scold Ethan, knowing he would be the one entering the house, but everything in me went still at who I saw beside Ethan.Alice.Leah and Ethan immediately went upstairs, leaving us alone. Seeing Alice after the betrayal is shocking, but nothing prepared me for the sight that beheld me; her stomach bump.We stared at each other for a long period of

    I sensed that Ethan shook his head.“Logan could have told you, but he was protecting you way too much. Little did he know that you are slimier and more devilish than he would ever have imagined,” Ethan said.I expected to feel venom in his words, or scorn and anger and vengeance in his voice, but all I felt was an unexpected calmness.Something tells me that he is not exactly calm instead. Why should he? He is practically standing in front of the woman that plotted and killed his best friend and boss.Well, maybe this is the calm before the storm, which I am fully ready for now, only that I would rather he did not do anything violent in the home or even around the home that took a total stranger like me in without questions and showed me nothing but love and hospitality.Ethan cleared his throat, but he still did not move an inch. “Well, I will tell you what Logan failed to,” he said and paused.I have no idea if he expected any response from me, and I have been through so much to ev

    Indeed, the farmer’s wife was right about their daughter; she is a chatty and vibrant teenager who unbelievably knew so much about the world even though they lived far away into the bush. I have spent a couple of months there now, and each time, my heart ached for what could have been; the love and happiness the farmer and his family shared were rare.I have never met a family so contented and at peace with their environment, and to think that his wife gave up her job in the city just to move down to his ranch.It even came as a shock to me when their teenage daughter spoke so fondly about Logan D’Nores, and to prove her point, she has magazines of him in her bedside drawer, and her most desired dream would be to see him someday and tell him how much of a fan she was.“She buys magazines that carry his pictures any time we go to town,” the farmer had said so one evening over dinner when she would not stop talking about the famous Logan D’Nores.Apparently, she is not conversant with

    Logan’s POVI woke up feeling like shit.“Took way longer than I expected,” Ethan said.I recognized his voice immediately, and I turned to him. “Ethan,” I muttered.“Do you feel any better?” Ethan asked.“No, but I would like to have a mirror. I know I look a mess already,” I said and ground my teeth.“There is no way I am letting you get close to a mirror right now until you are completely on your feet,” Ethan said.“Aside feeling like shit, I don’t feel much pains,” I said as I stretched my body on the bed. “The doctor has confirmed that you will be fine. There are no broken bones, and that is why you are not wrapped up in bandages,” Ethan said, chuckling.I groaned. “I detest bandages.” I said, and then looked at Ethan worriedly, “Where is Leah?” I asked.“Relax, man, she only went to her room to get a nap. She has been up by your side ever since the accident, and she hasn’t slept a wink.I had to literally force her to go and rest her head. You gave us all a scare, Logan,” Ethan

    When I woke up, it was at around 4am. The pain had stopped, as well as the dull headache. There was a dim light glowing from the bedside lamp, but it was just enough to illuminate the room.I could still hear the chirping of the birds, which reminds me again of Logan and his multimillion naira mansion.Then I jerked up!My baby! I touched my stomach, and my heart started to race really fast.I am no longer in pains, and the bleeding has obviously stopped, and I really slept for hours; I am not sure I have slept this long since I was a child, and now, I have been sleeping uninterruptedly for hours since I met this stranger who is being extremely nice to me for no reason.What have they done to my baby?! I wanted to wail and scream, but it is still dark outside, and I am yet to fully understand my new environment.Silly me, I should have thought and made adequate plans on my own before running away just like that. Now what if I have landed myself in the hands of an evil man and his fami

    I ran as fast as I could without stopping. My heart was pounding really fast. “I have killed Logan. I have killed Logan. I have killed Logan,” my heart continued to remind me. Fortunately for me, I did not have to run long enough before I heard the sound of a moving train.There was a stop just ahead, and I added extra speed just to meet up so that the train would not leave me. I got there just in time.The train had just finished taking in its passengers after others got out of the train, and I jumped in as well, looking like a lunatic.I could not get a seat, and worse, I did not even know the destination of the train, but I did not mind. I head onto the pole to steady my quivering feet and my breath.“Hey, are you okay?” I heard someone ask.I turned and saw that it was an average looking man. He looked like a merchant to me, or possibly a hunter with his cowboy hat and boots. Without meaning to, tears gathered in my eyes instantly. He immediately noticed this and got up.“Please

    Kozlova texted me the moment I woke up that it is time, and I needed to act fast or else he would take a different action that I would not exactly like, then he went on to send me the details of it.We already had the plan on ground, all I needed to do was get Logan D’Nores to the location for execution.I waited for Logan with bated breath, and when he eventually entered the room carrying a tray of food by himself, guilt nabbed at my heart.He has practically been babysitting me since the accident, and paying him this way is not exactly right, but there is nothing I can do.The nausea and dizziness have reduced, but I sense Logan looking at me in a way that is sort of suspicious.I know the doctor did not divulge the secret of the pregnancy to him, so why would he be staring at me in a weird sort of way? Does he suspect anything? Is it so obvious that I am pregnant? According to the doctor, the pregnancy is just a month and a week old, which means it definitely cannot be so obvious.

    “We need to talk, man,” Ethan said the moment he entered the room about an hour later. Alice is still sleeping peacefully, and Leah has since gone to change and freshen up. Before I left Alice’s side, I made sure she was breathing fine.“We will not spend more than five minutes,” I said as I stood up and followed Ethan to the study.He nodded in agreement. Somehow, he and Leah have decided to be very co-operative this period, which is very sensitive of them.“What have you found?” I asked him. “It is Kozlova general, is it not?”Just then, Leah entered.I wanted to question her as to why she is present. Usually, I do not approve of Leah being present or involved in my businesses.I prefer to keep her protected, and completely out of the way, as it has always been, except of course, it is unavoidably urgent. But right now, I decided to just let her be.If she wants to be here to know what happened, then she can, and it is also because of the genuine concern she showed to Alice earlier

    Logan’s POVAlice got discharged from the hospital three days later. According to the doctor, she was really fortunate not to have sustained any severe injuries, and the few bruises would not cause a scar.She still looked sick to me, and her cheeks are swollen now, but I am just glad that the accident did not take her life.I have ordered Ethan to make sure he gets me the person responsible for it, and even if it is the last thing I spend my life doing, I will.I had wanted her transferred to my hospital where my competent doctor would look after her, but eventually discovered that the small hospital she was rushed to was equally competent. Another advantage to it is that it would not get out to the press.The last thing I need right now is for fucking news to be flying about, about Alice’s near assassination.Of course, I suspect Kozlova general, he is the only enemy I know, but according to Ethan, we mustn’t jump into conclusions until he has made his findings.
