"Whoever is inside that place should come out now," he yelled and Sophia almost come out of her hiding place to give him the piece of her heart. A message pop inside her phone, she stare at her phone and it's the reminder of her debt. She has many things to do with her salary so she can't quit now, right? She hasn't even taking her revenge, it will be a waste of five years.
"What are you still waiting for?" Lucas snap at her, and she quickly bows before she scurries out of his study, and he sigh deeply.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Forgive me, sir. I'm really sorry, ... I didn't mean to barge into your room," She falls to her knees, and apologizes to him, it's better to act innocent for no w.
"Get up," he says to her.
"No, sir... Please let me remain like this. Please forgive me," She pleads as if she is held at gunpoint and she's desperately begging for her life.
"I told you to get up," she snap at her, and she quickly springs up to her feet. He stare at her eyes, thinking why she had to come into his room, his room of all places, did she even know what she got herself into.
"I'm sorry not sorry at all, I can't wait to see how miserable you will become," she wanted to say to him, but for some reasons well known to her she restrained herself.
"Why are you here?" He ask her, trying to sound as calm as he can, but he sounds more angry.
"Uhm... I came to drop the car key, I ran inside the your study when I heard footsteps because I don't know if you will get angry if you meet me here," She replies to him. She wondered what he came back to do.
"How did you know my passcode? No one know my passcode in this house, who the hell are you?," He yelled and Sophia mentally scoffed.
"He can never change, he is still the same as five years ago. Rich people and their nasty behavior.
"Your daughter tell me the passcode, sir. I am sorry for coming here without your notice" She inquires, and Lucas nod his head. In as much as he wants to warn her to never come to his room again, some part of him doesn't want to tell her that, he has been avoiding eyes contact with her. He don't also want to look like a bad person in her eyes, so I allow her to look for it.
"Did you know how to drive?" Lucas asked and she quickly nod her head.
"Yeah, I know how to drive, sir. I am sorry for driving her to school without your notice" she replied.
"You should go back to your room" he says and Sophia ram out, Adams has been there all along and he wondered why his boss let her go without searching her. H doesn't trust anyone when it comes to his personal stuffs, so he almost make sure he sack anyone that come in contact with his room, that was the reason why he doesn't have maid in the house. Adam clear his throat and Lucas turn back to see him
"What's the meaning of that?" Lucas asked, Adams is the only one he is close with apart from his daughter.
"Nothing, I was just surprised how you let her go without interrogation," Adams further says to him, and he sign briefly.
"I am sure you aren't deaf when I asked what she came to do" Lucas replied.
"Yeah, I am not deaf, I know what you can do. But why did you overlook what she did, I was expecting you to sack her"
"Exactly, who is she? Why is she making me feel this way? What is so special about her?" Lucas asked hiself. Lucas came back when he discovered he didn't take his daughter to school, he was surprised when the cleaner told him, Sophia have already drive her to the school. He came inside to asked how she get his car Keys when he saw his door open.

The past hours have been stressful for Sophia as she keeps cleaning Ava's room. She's done doing everything she has to do, it's time to go pick Ava from school. She changed into a pair of trouser and a white shirt. She picked up the car key, Lucas gave to her before going back to work, she walked to the garage and drove to the school. She packed the car outside the school when she got to the school compound. She saw Ava with other kids, she looks sad and Sophia Wondered what happened to her.
"Mummy," Ava face lit up in joy immediately she saw Sophia. Hearing her baby's voice, make her kind of happy. She open her arm wide open and Ava rushed to hug him.
"Ava, are you ok? Why did you look sad?" Sophia ask her worriedly. She is a very joyful girl, so she wonder what makes her mood change.
"Can I call you mummy?" She asked and Sophia look surprised. What's she trying to do? What happened to her mother? Maybe her mother was one of the women Lucas rape. She was unfortunate to got pregnant for him.
"You don't want it?" She asked with a pout.
"Why did you wanna call me mummy? You know who I am? I am your Nanny it's wrong for you to call me mum, your Dad will get angry" Sophia said and Ava burst into tears
"I don't have a mother, my mom is dead and all my friends make jest of me because I don't have mother like them, I need someone to call my mum, please let me call you mum, Sophia. Please" she says and clasp her little hands together, she pout her lips with makes her resistible, Sophia hug her to herself and Ava left out a smile.
"Mummy," she called.

Sitting on the edge of my bed and diving away in thoughts, a knock on my door pulls me out
"Nevermind, I am very sure she's not the one, she can't be the one, right?

Someone that doesn't know what it takes to be rich, I hate poor people and you know that?" Mrs Logan asked and Lucas sigh in frustration."Mrs Logan, who did you want me to employ, the president daughter? Or those people that will make my daughter uncomfortable?" Logan asked."I am sure Lora the president daughter is ready to be a nanny to your only child, she doesn't mind because she loves you, I don't know you will stoop so low to employ someone like that" Mrs Logan said."It's my choice and that's what my daughter want, I need to sleep if you don't mind..."

I am just trying to gather something's, I found something but I need to be sure before sending it to you, Kingsley" She replied, Kingsley was her friend, she planned everything with him.

LUCAS P.O.VWalking back to my room, I fell flat on the bed and breathe out. I don't know what's happening to me, why did I keep seeing this lady everywhere I go? I have never feel this way before even when I was dating my late fiance. The sound of the room telephone ringing pulls my attention from my thinking, and I reach out for it. "Lucas, your maid haven't attended to me since I woke up, what type of maid is she? Is she not supposed to do all the things I need even without asking?" Mum yelled from the phone and I mentally scoffed. I don't know why mum is like this, I have checked on her this morning and she's doing fine, I wonder why she doesn't like, Sophia. Because to me Sophia is loveable. "Mum, she's not a maid, she is Ava Nanny she doesn't have any business with you," I reply to her coldly, and without waiting for another word from her, I drop the telephone. I don't care about what she says next, I'm not in the mood to listen to her complain. She should p

Yes my families are in support of this revenge. Mum said. 'No blood shed, clean revenge' and that's what I am gonna do. Did I just say that? Don't mind me I wasn't in my right sense, I can decide to go with plan B if this plan didn't work because plan B Is the best. Leaving the world will be the best revenge for me, right? Killing him will be the best option, I am ready to go to jail for it. He move closer to the lady and kick her hard. The lady landed on her face with a loud trump.

Mother yelled again and Ava flinched."He is my father so stop yelling at him, I don't like it when you shout at my Dad" she says. Mum didn't say any more words, she knew she's no match to Ava. I drove to Dad compound and Ava rushed down from the car."Grandpa!" She called and ran inside the mansion. I came down from the car and mum rushed to my front."Hope it's not what I am thinking?" She asked and placed her hand on her waist."I don't know what you're thinking, but I am glad to tell you that it wasn't what you're thinking" I says and rushed after my daughter, I can hear her grumping voice, but I just pretended as if I didn't hear anything.

A few days laterLucas private captain announced the arrival of the plane at the new york city. Lucas and Sophia smiled at each other as they walked hand in hand out of the plane. A car was already waiting; Lucas led her into the car by opening the passenger door, leaving the driver to go get their luggage."You owned this car too?" she asked, just wanting to be sure. "Well! I do; you know I am freaking rich," he said arrogantly."Don't try to be pompous, Mr. Owner." They both smiled at the joke. He went into the car from the other side."Sir, it's been a while since you've been here; it's good seeing you again." His driver said, and he scoffed."Yes, I have been busy with work. How's everything here in New York?" He asked, trying to start a discussion."It's cool, sir; we've been pushing through." He replied, focusing on the road. They discuss some random things and also crack jokes with them, making the drive to the Logan house a smooth one.Getting to the house, Sophia saw the mar
Sophia came to their house to give them the news about her and Lucas going on a trip. She can't wait to announce that news to her family, but coming there, she saw Stephen dressing."Hey! "Are you going to school today, and what's the time?" Sophia asked, wondering why Stephen was dressing up really hot. Is he trying to impress someone?"Did I look cute? Please be serious," he asked, waiting for her reply. "Why are you dressing up so serious? Are you going to a party?" she asked, and Stephen chuckled softly."I guess the problem I have with you is that you ask questions a lot. Well! Today is Natalie's birthday, so I promise to take her around. Tell me where you can take a girl so as to make them happy?" he asked, waiting to hear from Sophia, who was just staring at her. She had come to express her happiness, but he's here playing a lover boy."Take her to hellfire; that's where girls love." She said with a slight hint of jealousy in her voice."Are you jealous that my son is now goin
Two Months Later"So where did you say we are going to?" Sophia looked up at Lucas with a bright smile, ready to go anywhere with him. Lucas pretended to be in deep thought, rubbing his chin before flashing his trademark smirk. The sun was shining down on them, casting a warm glow on the couple as they chatted. "I don't know for now," Lucas said coyly, watching as Sophia rolled her eyes but in a playful way. Sophia stepped closer to Lucas, narrowing her eyes slightly. "Tell me where we are going to when I am being nice," she teased. Lucas continued to hold back the surprise, delighted by Sophia's playful demeanor. "It's a surprise," he finally relented. "It's good to have some alone time to ourselves. Ava is with her grandmother, so I don't think we'll have any disturbances. Let's spend three days in another country. I promise to only think of you." A gentle breeze picked up and the surrounding trees rustled slightly in agreement with Lucas' romantic plan.Sophia's face lit up wit
"You don't have to worry, sweetheart; mom will be okay." He reassured her and sniffled."Should I come over? I want to see her?" She asked, her tone filled with worry."No, stay there. I will come get you soon," Lucas's voice strains through the phone."Okay, dad, I wished Mom a quick recovery." She prayed, her voice low. The call ended, and Lucas dipped the phone into his pocket. He went closer to the bed and sat on the edge, caressing Sophia's face.The hospital counterStephen and Kingsley rushed into the hospital and rushed to the counter, breathing heavily, their faces full of worries. They looked around but couldn't find Lucas."Please, my sister, where's she?" She was rushed here, and my brother in-law called to inform me that she needed a donor. I am here; can you take my blood sample?" He spoke sharply, his voice laced with concerns for her sister."What's your sister's name, and which ward?" The nurse in charge asked."Her name is Sophia Owen, but we didn't know her ward. We
She took the phone closer to ear immediately she clicked on the answer button. "Nice hearing your voice. I couldn't fathom that you're calling me personally. That's strange. Anyway, what did you call me for?" She said the last sentence sarcastically. Lucas was yelling at her end, and she could sense him boiling in anger right now. She burst into laughter before hearing his voice again. "Elena, where the hell did you put my child? Where's my child?" "This is kinda funny, I don't know how you got my number, I thought you don't have my number," she replied, "Anyway, she's also my child. Why are you panicking? Are you afraid I might hurt her? If you're afraid, yes, I can hurt her," she added. "No, Elena, you can't do that. She's your child, your blood." Lucas pledged and Elena scoffed at Lucas' words."Blood? I don't know why weak people like you believe you can't hurt your blood. I can hurt her, she's nothing to me," she said. "What did you want from me, Elena?" Lucas asked, In a n
FlashbackSophia was about getting to the school when a car crushed hers. "What the fuck" She cussed and get down the car to check who the hell did that. The person whined down the glass and it turned out to be Elena. A sinister grin played by her lips as she stepped down the car. She folded her hands together and put it on her breast, she slammed the door with her legs her body rested on her car. Sandra step down from the other side of the car. "You evil Lady, where have you being hiding? And what's your motive for showing up here?. I guess you must want to kill me right?" Her voice filled with rage, glaring aggressively at her, her teeth gritted her eyes shallow on her. "You know what, I love to see people like you brag, empty vessel" She laughed sarcastically."If you were so bold enough, you shouldn't have hid. You should have come out bitter soul" She confronted her, her chest boiling in rage, as their gaze meet.. Elena was already losing it, she clenched her fist, her eyes b
"Going to get Elena, she can't escape this, she dare killed my child, she'll regret ever crossing my path" Mrs. Logan speaks with a fierce determination. Her words are filled with anger and hatred towards Elena. ***** Elena and Sandra make a grand entrance into a club, where the music is booming and the atmosphere is lively. The club is filled with excitement and energy, and Elena appears to be basking in the thrill of it. Sandra is by her side. They came to celebrate."Did you think Leon will be dead by now?" Sandra's voice struggled to be heard above the music and din in the club as she asked Elena a question. Elena asked her to speak louder. "Did you think Leon will be dead by now?" Sandra shouted. Elena nods her head without a hint of pity on her face, "Sure, Leon can't be alive, he is gone," she replied, with a touch of amusement in her voice. They exited the club each holding a cigarette. As they walked, "What's your next plan, Elena?" Sandra asked and Elena replied with a
Lucas darted to his parked car as fast as he could. His heart pounded against his chest as he flung open the back door and carefully lowered his brother, Leon, on the seat. Without a moment's hesitation, Lucas jumped into the driver's seat, revved the engine and peeled out of the parking lot, breaking every traffic law in his way. The screeching of tires and sudden jolt of every sudden stop echoed through the empty road as he sped towards the hospital. He didn't even bother to park the car properly when he arrived, instead, he leapt out and sprinted towards the entrance, holding Leon's limp body in his arms. "Doctor! My brother must come out alive!" Lucas's voice broke as tears streamed down his face. The nurses whisked Leon away from him, rushing him to the available wards as Lucas and the rest of the Logan family followed closely behind. "Are you sure my son will be fine?" Lucas's mother broke down in tears, collapsing onto the cold, hard floor. Her hand clutched her forehead as
