"But..." "It's Mr Logan instructions," He cuts me off, and I slowly nod my head. This is not necessary though, I don't even have time to waste I turn and walk into the school compound. "You're here..." Mrs..... She stop abruptly and wait, I think she was waiting for me to give her the go ahead."Mrs Logan" Ava replied and I look at her face to see her laughing at me. "But, Ava," she gave me the look that says don't say anything and I keep shut immediately.I squat down to her level as she hug me tightly like she have missed me so much. "Bye mum, I will see you later," she says and I just nod my head with a smile, she's such a lovely kid."Mrs Logan" the teacher says and I turn back to look at her."Hope no problem, Mrs?" I asked and she shake her head negatively."I will like to discuss one or two things with you, can you spare me few of your time?" She asked and I wonder why she wanna see me, hope she's not gonna question me about being Ava mother? "Alright, i
"What the hell is he doing here?" Kingsley frowned on seeing Lucas, the guy he has always hated all his life. The person who hurt the one dear person after his parent How dare he bring his legs here without thinking of the repercussions?"Hi, is Sofia here?" He asked like a gentleman.Kingsley pushed him out with his chest, and they both found themselves outside the door. He quickly slammed the door shut. "Hey, what the hell are you doing here?" He asked angrily; He clenched his fist angrily. He is really trying to hold hiself, because he would have landed a Punch on Lucas face if he didn't control hiself.Lucas, who was only eager to meet Sofia's family, decided to change the topic."Are you Sofia's brother?" he asked, smiling caring less about his rude behavior.'Why's this idiot trying to behave like a gentleman? When we both know he's a devil in human skin,' he thought, trying all his possible best to control his anger. If he misbehaves with him, he might suspect them; he will
"Please promise you won't hurt my daughter, because I can't see her being hurt again." She said, and there was a tensed silence.Kingsley chuckled, while Lucas gazed at me. "Did someone hurt Sofia before? Who's that person? Let me deal with him," Lucas said, and that surprised me. He was the one who had hurt me, and now he wanted to punish the person who hurt me. Did he forget everything about me? Did he have an accident? Even if he can't recognize me, shouldn't he recognize my mother and Kingsley?Or he's just trying to play dumb to win our hearts."It's okay, son, just that my girl was raped by a ruthless guy. I will pray all my life that he suffers," Mom said, and I feel some rage in me. She shouldn't have told him this; this will ruin my whole plan."Sofia," I heard him call out."What?" I jolted out of my thoughts. So all that was my imagination. How could I be hallucinating?"Ma, I must say you are so nice and funny. Sofia took this after you," he said teasingly.What did the
Lucas POV"But did you think about what you're doing very well? You know who Mrs Logan is, right? You know she will never support you and I know you too well, I hope Sophia doesn't be the one to suffer for all this" Adam says and I sigh, I knew what is just said is nothing but the truth. But what can I do? I am In love with her, I don't plan to fall in love with her, it just happened natural, mum has to accept the fact the I am in love with her."She can't do anything to her" I replied Adam, but I am not sure about that, mum can go any length when it comes to her children and I don't think she likes Sophia, she doesn't want her to be my daughter Nanny, but I am not sure she will accept our relationship. Adam burst into laughter and I wonder why he is laughing, what's funny?"Hey, why are you laughing? We are talking about something serious and you suddenly burst into laughter""My bad, I can't just help it, she can't do anything or what did you just say? Come on you and I know what th
Lucas POV"I'm doing good and it's not too long I get to work" I replied smiling sheepishly."Alright, I called to hear your voice I will like to end the call now" fûck! The joy in me is out of the world, like she fucking called to check on me."Are you there?" She asked and I nod my head, fûck! I have forgotten she can't hear me."Yeah, I am here. Thanks for checking on me, I am very happy" I replied and I can hear her smile."Can i come visit you in the office with Ava, when she close from school? We will like to eat lunch with you" she says and I feel like jumping up happily."Sure, I am very free" I replied."Alright, have a nice time" she says and end the call. Why did she have to end the call now? I am not ready to drop my phone.Hours laterI check my wristwatch restlessly for the tenth time and ruffle my hair impatiently. I have been waiting for her for the past hour, and she's not yet here. She promised to come did she changed her mind? "Hey, dude," The door suddenly open
Sofia pov"Nothing much, baby" Lucas replied and I almost scoffed, I said we shouldn't make it public, but I don't tell him not to tell his daughter, I wish he can just tell her I wanna see her reaction""Don't tell me that, Dad. I have been observing the both of you, is something going on between the both of you? Mum won't you like to tell me? Remember I am your best friend, you shouldn't keep something away from me" she says and Lucas clear his throat. He gave me the signal asking if he should tell her or not."Why are you two talking with your eyes" Ava frown and I chuckled."We are going out, very soon she will be my wife and legally your mother," Lucas replied, and a cute smile lit up her beautiful face. "Do you mean this, dad?" she asked, and Lucas nodded his head in agreement.He was really so sure. After everything he did to me, he wanted to know about me and then marry me. He wanted me to dig the old grave right. "Dad, does that means you guy's need privacy?" Ava asked, h
Lucas POVI was so scared that Sofia wouldn't allow me to help her family. She was so stubborn at first that she wanted to refuse. But Ava came to my rescue.I was so happy. I don't know why she's hiding the identity of the man who hurt them, but I will dig into that and make sure I fish out the man; he has to be punished for what this family passed through. I was lost in my thoughts when Adam came into my office. "I have spoken with the doctor, and he made me realize her chances of survival are 50% if we really want to carry out the operation. And my bill is huge." He said, and I glared dangerously at him."So did you ridicule me to that extent? Do you think I am afraid to pay the bills? All I wanted was for this operation to be successful. I can't watch Sofia break down if anything happens to her. Why would they be giving 50% chances just for eye surgery? I don't want to hear about that.Look for any other hospital, because I know there are many across the world. Search till you
Sophia POVHe stormed out of the house angrily and I rushed to close my door before bursting into laughter, I deserve award for this. I mean I am a queen acting, I can't believe I act perfectly. I pick up the tissue paper on the nightstand and clean my fake tears with it before bursting into another round of laughter. I can't just sit without doing anything, love won't make me stop my revenge never. I will like to split their family, his mother is my biggest enemy. Ava is just a sweet girl, did she even think I was crying because of the slap her grandmother gave you? This is the best joke I have ever heard. I can't help the smile that lace through my face at the thought of Lucas going home to fight his mother. I decided to take my time and take a nap for sometime before Lucas come back. But I can't do that, Ava will be worried about me. I remember what mother told me, few days ago.'i don't want a bloody revenge, Sophia. I don't understand what you're trying go do by dating me, but I

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
