The next morning, the doctor came again as early as possible to check up on me, and I requested to be taken to my room.

Surprisingly, my request was granted without an argument or a fuss. I noticed that Logan has been avoiding me, because all day while I heeded to the doctor’s advice to remain in bed to regain all my lost strength, he did not come in to see me, neither did Leah.

Not like I expected her to, though.

The doctor has confirmed me fit and well, but that I just need to rest for one more day before I hop back on my feet.

Tia entered with a tray of biscuits and a glass of lemon juice.

“Oh, Tia…” I started the moment she entered and the aroma of the juice hit my nose.

Tia laughed. She already understood what my whining is about. “I am sorry, but this is the best that you need right now.” She said.

“You and your fucking recipe, shouldn’t you be working in a hospital?” I asked her.

“Uh, I don’t sell drugs, mademoiselle,” Tia said.

She put the tray on my bedside table. Eagerly,

    Tia finally left, chatting to herself like a love-struck lunatic.I almost smiled; how can someone be more excited about the possibility that two people could be in love more than the people themselves?Speaking of that, I shook my head vigorously. We are not in love. I am not in love with Logan D’Nores, the drug lord and mafia boss, and let’s not forget, the bloody murderer.There is no way in hell I could have fallen for a man like that…someone with so many dirt and evil in him. I am very certain that Tia had misread the situation.After all, she is a fairytale kind of person, and so she easily reads things as love and obsession.If a boy does a much as smile at a girl, Tia would immediately conclude that they are head over heels in love with each other, and they are going to live happily ever after. Yeah, Tia is the kind of girl.Now, why would I want to believe anything that comes out of her mouth, especially regarding the love area?It is quite possible that Logan merely spoke ab

    I have been resting since the incident, and one more day about resting might drive me insane.I honestly cannot wait for Monday to arrive so that I can not only go back to school, but also resume my morning routine. Oh, I have missed it like crazy!The visit from Ethan still tugs at my heart. I mean, I should have known that he would not just stroll into my room to check up on me, even though he said he was doing it for Logan initially.Albeit, he was more subtle about his approach, which is one thing that now endears me to his presence. There is this calm sense of humor about Ethan, and a sense of responsibility that just makes you want to feel comfortable and safe in his presence.That does not mean that I have figured everything out about him though.And I lied about my father coming to see me in school. Don might have seen us from afar, but I did not think about that when I answered him.What does it matter anyway? They have murdered him too, so to what use is the information? Lyi

    As usual, Don drove me to Luisa’s boutique at about 10am the next morning.I wanted Tia to go with me badly, because I do not know what to expect, and I thought that just having someone with whom I am very comfortable with there with me would make the adventure easy for me, but Tia had to serve the D’Nores’s that morning.The boutique is located at the tallest building of the city, and when Don drove into the parking lot, I opened my eyes in awe.I have never been awed at such tallness and beauty of a building until now…well, except for the first time I got a full view of Logan’s mansion. But this is different. It is nothing like this.And I freaking get to shop here for free for the whole day!The universe must be kidding me! What could she have found so fascinating in me that would make her invite me like this? And somehow, I believe Logan when he said he did not influence it.I mean, come to think of it, if he really wanted to do something that would land him a favor, I am certain

    Even though the party we attended weeks back was at night, there is no way I would not recognize her…even in the midst of a crowd.The woman that stared at me intently, and I totally forgot to tell Logan about it, until now.If I had gotten her name that night, I probably would have known that the invitation is from her.Come on, who would just send Alice such a private invitation out of the blues? Also, I had totally forgotten I had such a weird encounter with a woman that night.Now, I don’t know how I feel about being here. It’s like the excitement and glee have dwindled.I should probably turn around and leave immediately, besides, aside the fact that I don’t know what her intentions are, that she was weird that night should be enough reason to be wary of her.“Show her around and have her make her limitless selection,” she told the young woman who brought me in.“The boutique is hers today,” she turned and disappeared the same way she had come, her heels clicking on the linoleum

    My head began to spin after about two hours and I hadn’t even gone round the entire boutique. What the fuck!“If you would like a drink…” the young lady suggested immediately as though she read my mind or something. Or maybe my body language gave me away easily.“Yes, please,” I answered eagerly.The right thing to do was to call it a day, thank the owner profusely and go home with the load of expensive shits I have gathered, right? Instead, my body followed the young lady like a zombie to an inner chamber. I sat myself down on the soft couch and allowed her pour me a glass of brandy. “I am not much of a drinker,” I started to tell her when it looked like she was going to fill the cup.“I know,” someone answered immediately.At first I thought it was the young lady, but if it had been she, I would have known, right? Then Luisa entered and sat right opposite me.The young lady poured her a full glass of brandy before leaving us both alone. The chamber is quite small, but really cozy.

    Later that night, as I laid awake reminiscing over all that Luisa told me, I realized then even without her having to say it that she deliberately sent a signal to the blogs and paparazzi; it was the woman herself that made them wait for my arrival at her premises.I also realized that she had not intended to be my friend. No, not at all. In fact, she made it abundantly clear that I was below her class and the status of people she often allowed herself to be seen around.“You see, Alice,” she had said, “From the moment I saw you, you reminded me of the girl I used to be when I was your age, and it took me just one close glance to know that just like me, you did not choose the life you are living in right now, although you acted out the exact opposite quite well, you even fooled everyone else,” she had stated, and I just watched her.I did not have the courage to deny.It seemed to me that she could see even in the dark, and that one’s secret cannot be hidden from her, except of course

    Aside the fact that something about me shifted when I visited Luisa, the glee from Tia when I showed her the stuff I picked out for her really made me fulfilled.“It’s a freaking lie!” she had squealed in intense delight.When I had gotten into the house, she was just serving Leah some dessert on the dining table.Her eyes had caught mine when I entered, and I could swear that she had to hold herself with everything in her to prevent her from running to me and forcing every detail out of my mouth. And damn, I wanted that too.I wanted her to freely express herself, and more so, I wanted to tell her about the magnificence in Luisa’s boutique!Leah had acted as though nobody walked in, one of the staffs struggling with the numerous bags of stuff that I came with, although I did catch her stare when I initially just entered, and I could care less about her fucking attitude.Luisa happened to have given me a new vibe and energy, and there was no way in hell one would get back from a time

    Just as expected, the media went ablaze on the story about me going on a free shopping spree at Luisa’s boutique. Pictures of me were splashed all over the internet.It was Tia who eagerly and too excitedly waited for me at the entrance for me to return from my morning run to show me how popular I had become in hours. Maybe I should share in Tia’s excitement, but I just couldn’t. It is not my thing to be in the spotlight, and although everything that Luisa said to me is still stuck in my head, I do not want to be exactly like her. I do not want to be famous or popular.However, that does not mean I will not use her words to my own satisfaction. I am not driven by success, I am driven by pain and revenge, and until I achieve that, I will not be able to settle in whatever publicity the world is offering.Plus I think Tia is too excited about the whole thing.People get talked about every day, and Luisa’s boutique has been in the spotlight for decades now, so what is so thrilling about

    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.
