Mia knocked on the door thrice before she got a response.
"The door is unlocked." Came a muffled voice from behind the door and Mia knew that it was Mr Logan.She looked sideways to make sure that there was no one in sight. She looked up for any security cameras but surprisingly, there were none. She quickly brought out the substance that she had hidden in her bra since the beginning of the party. She took out a syringe from her pocket and poured the substance into it. She injected the already uncocked wine with it. She shook the wine slightly to enable the substance to settle down well.When she was done, she opened the door and walked in. "Good evening sir," she greeted and placed the wine carefully on the table beside him."Evening. Pour me a glass." He said, without taking his eyes off the screen.Watching him type at his laptop with her side eye, she shook the drink slightly again and poured it into a glass before handing it over to him."Here you go sir," she said, stretching the drink in his direction. He lifted his head from his laptop and took the drink from her. He looked at the glass and then rested his gaze on her for a while. Mia grew nervous as he kept his gaze on her."You brought just one glass? Where are you going to pour your drink into?" He asked as he took a sip from the drink."No, I'm good sire., Mia said as she feigned a smile. She tried to stay calm and not give off anything weird."Alright then, you can take your leave now." He said, motioning to the door. Mia looked lost as she reluctantly made her way to the door. She opened the door with trembling hands and walked out.As Mia walked past Logan, he trailed her with his eyes until she got to the door. When she was out already. He shook his head and faced his laptop as he took another sip from his drink.She didn't go far, instead, she pretended as if to walk away while stomping her feet on the ground to make Logan think she had gone. She quietly tiptoed back and waited at the door. She kept on checking her wristwatch incessantly. She remembered that Mary had told her that the substance would take effect thirty minutes after he had drunk it.Thirty minutes felt like three hours as she kept looking at her watch. When thirty minutes were up, she waited for another ten minutes just to ensure that she didn't make any mistakes.She creaked opened the door and took a peek. She did a little dance of victory when she saw that he was fast asleep, his laptop still open and running. She made her way back into the room and shut the door quietly behind her and locked the door.She made her to the bed and waved her hand over his face to make sure that he had fallen asleep. When she had confirmed that. She shut his laptop off, closed it, and carried it away from the bed. She took off his socks, climbed onto the bed, and started to unbuckle his belt.It took a lot of effort for Mia to take all of Logan's clothes off, and when she did, she wiped the sweat off her forehead as she took her own clothes off.She headed for the bathroom to wash the sweat away from her body. When she was done, she came back to the room, and cleaned herself before picking up her clothes and Logan's, dumping them everywhere around the bed.She climbed onto the bed again. She grunted in the effort as she adjusted Logan into a sleeping position. She looked around, satisfied with the scene she had created, she threw the duvet over them as she snuggled in closer and laid her head on his chest.She closed her eyes to sleep, but it felt like she was still missing something. She sat up and looked around again. She really wanted to make it seem like they had had sex.She was still wearing her red lipstick, so she brushed some off with her fingers and smeared it on Logan's face. She observed his face for a while, it still didn't look realistic to her. She heaved heavily as she closed her eyes and pressed her lips against his own."That ought to do it," she said, looking at his face again. She stroked his beard and hugged him tightly, trying to get his scent on her body before she laid back down on his chest, pleased with what she had done. A wide grin settled on her face as she closed her eyes to sleep.The following morning, Logan found himself rudely awakened by the intrusive beams of sunlight that managed to slip through the cracks of his curtains. Groaning, he attempted to shield his eyes with his arm, but the persistent rays persisted in their mission to rouse him from slumber. With a resigned sigh, he finally yielded to the morning light, reluctantly opening his eyes. He rubbed his eyes as the event from last night eluded him. This wasn't the first he had had too much to drink. He was about to sit upright when he noticed that something on his chest kept him from moving. He looked down and was beyond shocked to find a girl sleeping on his chest. So as not to wake her up, he carefully peeled her off his chest and got up from the bed. He felt a cold breeze on his groin, he looked and realized he was naked. "What!" He exclaimed as he took a towel and wrapped it around his waist. "What exactly happened here?" He questioned no one in particular. The lady's eyes started to flutter
"Getting married?!" Jason bellowed, unable to believe what he was hearing. "You can't be serious right now, Dad, please tell me this is not true!" "What's the matter, son, you should be happy that I'm finally getting married again since your mother died." "Father please you can't get married to this woman!" Jason's brows furrowed as he got closer to them. "Why not, isn't she beautiful?!" Logan asked, his eyes darting from his son to Mia. "Father, this woman is my...." "I think you've heard enough sweetheart!" Mia cut in rudely, stopping Jason from revealing who she truly was to Logan. She shot Jason a hateful look as she relished the look of defeat that was plastered across his face. "Why don't you take me inside, sweetheart?" Mia said to Logan and brushed the side of his hair. "No problem, come with me," Logan said intertwining his fingers in Mia's and leading her Inside the house. "Father, please we need to talk!" Jason tried again to get his father's attention but it looked
Mia's eyes gleamed with seduction as she sidled up to Logan on the couch. She had been trying to get his attention all night, and she wasn't about to give up now. "Hey, Logan," she purred, running her hand up his arm. "Why don't we take this party to the bedroom?" Logan shifted uncomfortably, trying to extricate himself from her grasp. "Mia, I don't think that's a good idea. Besides, I have work in the morning." Mia's smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered. "Oh, come on," she whispered, her breath hot against his ear. "I know you want me. I can see it in your eyes." Logan stood up, trying to put some distance between them. "Mia, I'm tired. I need to sleep." Mia's eyes flashed with annoyance, but she refused to give up. She stood up, her body inches from Logan's. "You can sleep tomorrow when you're back from work," she whispered, her hands roaming over his chest. Logan caught her wrists, holding her back. "Mia, stop. I mean it. I need to sleep." For a momen
"What in the world!!" Jason exclaimed as he jumped out of his bed. The next minute, his phone was buzzing with text messages before a call finally came in. Jason was too stunned to pick up the call as he stared at naked videos of him in bed with Mia. "How did this make its way to the internet?" He questioned as his eyes bulged with bewilderment. He scrolled through the media and still found more videos of them and even pictures. Most of the videos had been recorded by them months ago and Jason knew that the only person apart from him who had the videos and the pictures would be Mia. "But she can't be the one who must have leaked the videos. It's not possible!" He said, but he had to be sure, that even though he was convinced that Mia wasn't the one responsible, he still had to get answers from her and find out if she was aware of the videos online. He threw his phone onto the bed and hurriedly looked around for something to wear since he was only on his shorts. He slapped his foreh
it felt like all the air had been sucked out of Jason's lungs as he held onto the wall closest to him and struggled to breathe. Something inside of him wanted to dash out and confront the maids he was hearing gossip about him but he found his foot rooted to the spot. After a while, Jason heard the sounds of footsteps walking away from where the maid had formally stood, still, Jason was frozen, his eyes darting back and forth across the floors rapidly. "This isn't happening!" Jason mouthed to himself and clutched the glass cup still filled with wine so tightly, the edge of the glass cup sustained a crack. Jason hadn't recovered from the thought of hearing his own father sleeping with his ex. Even though he had not felt the impact of her breaking up with him initially, he had not gotten past his feelings for her and the special moments that the both of them shared and now, This! He clutched his head, tightly, pulling at the strands of his hair. He felt like ripping off every strand
"It is really strange of you to act this way? It makes me think that you're keeping something back from me." Jason let out, watching Rosa scamper to the floor as she struggled to pick the paper up. "Keep something back from you?" Rosa scoffed and jumped back to her feet with the papers all crumpled up in her hands, "I will never. These files are just confidential. That's all."Jason rolled his eyes at her and made his way back to the bed while watching Rosa intently. He watched her whisper something inaudible to the strange man still outside the room taking long drags from his ciga. "No way, miss, you're going to hand over my balance to me right now, else, I'm going to take back those papers!" The strange man said aloud, refusing to maintain Rosa's quite tone. Rosa's eyes darted back to Jason before pushing the strange man out of the hotel room, "just give me a moment, my love." Rosa said, holding out her index finger to Jason and walking out of the room. "What the fuck is wrong
The conviction had been more swift than Jason had intended it to be. He knew Rosa would always compromise whenever it came to him—even when it had to do with her morlas or something she stood strongly for or against, but Rosa was never a saint herself. He was aware that she soiled her hands with drug deals once in a while and did dirty jobs for her high paying clients such as jeopardising her client rival's business and reputations, but she was a respected lady and highly sought after in her field of business so she didn't have to worry about the authorities because she also had their dirty secrets stored away in her purse and could whip them out anytime she wanted. Jason promised to meet with her the evening of the following day so they could put their plan into motion. As he walked out of the hotel, heading straight for his car, he saw the strange man from earlier, still hanging around the hotel premises, smoking like his life depended on it. His brows creased in anger as he wat
With his heart pounding incessantly against his chest, he made his way back to his room. He couldn't afford to be under the same roof with Mia. As he made his way back, he wondered why he hadn't left the moment his father had announced that he was to get married to Mia. Jason kicked against the room of his door, pushing it open. "Argh!" He groaned deeply and ran his fingers nervously through his already dishevelled hair, "I'm so going to show, Mia. I'm swear I'm going to!" He let out. "But first, I need to calm my nerves down, I feel like I'm about to explode right now." He added and sank into the bed. His phone chimed in his pocket—signalling to him that he had received a notification. "I really this notification isn't about Mia posting another picture of my butt!" He said to himself and whipped out his phone angrily from his pocket. It was a text from his father. He felt a mix of anger and fear ripple through him, his eyes scanning through the message floating on the top bar.
The last thing that Jason could make out before the whole place went blank was the men dragging Rosa out from the car while she screamed and flared her hands in the air. His entire body had felt weak the moment he felt those cold hands on his neck. The pain had been swift—swift enough to put him in a lethal state. "Ro...Rosa!" He called out to her, trying to get up to his feet but his legs wobbled and he fell to the ground. His knees could not support his weight at that moment. The whole world had started to spin around him, causing him to be hazy. He made a second attempt to get up to his feet, but again, it was futile. "You damn bastard, you caused this, you knew that they were coming yet, you turned off the headlights and drove really slowly, didn't you?!" Jason scratched his fingers against the floor, brusing his nails in the process as he struggled to stay awake. "I'm sorry, boss. It was an order given to me, I had to obey it." The chauffeur replied, his whole body vibrating
By the time they ordered their second round of alcohol, Rosa was already drowned heavily in alcohol, but she kept on drinking away regardless. At the party, Jason noticed the way a lot of men had been flocking around Rosa even when she with him, pretending like he wasn't there, but the worst part of it all was that Rosa didn't turn them off when they approached her. Jason didn't want to think much of it and just kept on sipping his alcohol and bobbing his head to the rhythm of the music playing in the background. He wanted to believe that the men coming towards her were some people she knew in her line of work, but the way they checked her out in front of Jason said otherwise. "Rosa, we'll be leaving in a few minutes." Jason had announced as he took his last glass of alcohol and gulped it down his throat. "Leaving already? But the fun is just getting started!" She let out in a drunken state and the next thing, she was singing along to the lyrics of the song, throwing her hands in t
Jason’s journey ended at dusk, the darkening sky mirroring the turmoil inside him. The long drive to his father’s penthouse had drained him more than he had imagined. Every mile felt like an endless reminder of the mistakes he’d made and the heavy burden of betrayal he carried with him. His body ached from fatigue, but he was determined to reach his destination—a place that, for tonight, would serve as his escape from the chaos of his recent life.When Jason finally pulled up in front of the penthouse, Two silent, imposing guards stood at the entrance, their expressions were stoic and unreadable. They exchanged a brief nod of recognition when they saw him, as if acknowledging both his arrival and the weight he bore. the guards helped him unload his luggage from the sleek, black car. Stepping inside, Jason was immediately enveloped by the quiet elegance of the penthouse. The spacious foyer was softly lit, and a gentle warmth emanated from the polished marble floors. Word had traveled
"Hey, open this door, you damned bastards!" Mia yelles out as she heard the guards locking her in the room from outside. "Logan you cannot do this to me. Tell them to open this damn door now!" Mia yelled at the top of her lungs as she pounded her fist against the door. "No, no, no, this cant be happening!" Mia let out in frustration, pulling at her hair in frustration. How had Logan been able to see through her lies? She placed her other hand over her stomach and subconsciously gave it a little rub. If Logan found out the truth from that night that he had not actually raped her then she was done for, with the attitude he had just displayed a few minute ago, she was sure that Logan would make sure not to spare her and punish her for ever lying to him. "Damn it!" Mia cussed under her breath. This was not what she had in mind, her plan was already going a wire and this was not meant to happen. If Logan stopped believing her now, all her efforts to get back at Jason and become his f
Logan had almost fallen out of his seat the moment Mia spat out those words. "No, not this..." He muttered to himself, "you cannot be pregnant for me." Logan let out. "I'm pregnant for you and I have proof." Mia said rather too calmly. She noticed that what she had revealed to him had thrown him off guard—the opposite of what she had expected. Logan struggled to make it his feet, bridging the gap between the both of them. "Mia, you cannot have that child!" He repeated in a more serious tone, "Then what do you suggest I do instead, because the damage had already been done, I'm pregnant for you, Logan!" "You cannot keep that child!" Logan insisted, his eyes fell to her flat stomach, "you have to get rid of that child. No, you will get rid of that child!" He said in a stern tone. "You're insane if you think that I'm going to kill my child!" Mia shot back as she took a step backward. "Listen to me, young lady!" Logan said through gritted teeth, "you have no idea what I'm capab
"Look dear. I already told you that I had a really bad day at work today and I have to take my rest." Logan let out, walking past her. Mia watched in anger as he walked away from her. She pressed her lips against each other and turned to walk away. She had given Logan enough time to settle down and when it was already dusk, she decided that it was time to pay him a visit in the room. With her heart pounding with anticipation. She smoothed her dress, ensuring every detail of her appearance was flawless. Tonight was her chance. She had heard the argument earlier that day. Logan had been livid after seeing Jason's private photos leaked online. The scandal was plastered all over social media, an embarrassment to the well-respected businessman. Jason had tried to defend himself, but Logan had snapped. “If you want to act like a reckless fool, then you don’t deserve a damn thing from me,” Logan had shouted. “I won’t have my legacy tarnished by your stupidity! Don’t think for a seco
Jason stared blankly at the screen for what seemed like forever before he picked up the call. "Rosa!" Jason called out the moment he picked up the phone. Rosa's sultry voice purred through the phone, sending a shiver down Jason's spine. "Hey, baby. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I've been thinking about what you told me earlier today..." Jason's heart skipped a beat as he anticipated what she might say next."...and I'm willing to change my mind about your plan." Jason's eyes lit up with excitement as he listened to Rosa's words. "For real?!" Jason could not contain his excitement the minute he heard those words. Rosa's voice dropped to a whisper. "But I need you to do something for me first. Something that requires your... particular set of skills." Jason's mind racing, he knew that he would regret this later. But right now, nothing mattered more to him than getting back at Mia."Anything, Rosa, anything at all, just ask me." Jason said, his voice low and husky. "I'll d
By the time Logan got back home, he refreshed the news site for the umpteenth time to make sure that Jason's videos had been taken down from the site. He heaved a sigh of relief when he discovered that the video had been taken down and the next thing he received on his phone was a text from the blog's company CEO with his account details informing him that the videos had all been taken down and efforts are being to completely take down the video from the internet. Logan wiped the sweat that was dripping down his face and called his secretary, Emily, asking that money should be sent into the CEO's account before dusk. The moment he ended the call, he forwarded the CEO's account details to his secretary. As soon as Logan stepped out of the car, he didn't bother to go in with his suitcase ot the rest of the things he left the office with—leaving the chauffuer with the items to bring Into the house. "Jason!!" Logan roared as he made his way into his mansion, "get out here this instan
With his heart pounding incessantly against his chest, he made his way back to his room. He couldn't afford to be under the same roof with Mia. As he made his way back, he wondered why he hadn't left the moment his father had announced that he was to get married to Mia. Jason kicked against the room of his door, pushing it open. "Argh!"
