“What are your plans for the weekend Logan?” Felix inquired as they walked together towards the car-park.“What plan other than to finish up with the company’s task ahead of us. Our business must not lag, you know that right?” Logan responded diligently.Logan and Felix are not only business partners, but childhood friends although Felix literally works for Logan who inherited his father's company, regardless they're best friends.“You are so boring” Felix remarked, shaking his head.“If prioritizing my company makes you think I'm boring, thank you” He said sarcastically as he placed his briefcase in the car boot.“Take a chill break dude, c'mon” Felix obstructed him from opening the front door.“What is it Felix?” Logan crossed his arm.“Today is friday and do you know what’s popping in town?” Logan shook his head apathetically.“Club” Felix told him.“I don't attend clubs” Logan retorted.“But you will. You are definitely coming with me. C’mon loosen up alittle, don't be so dull”“
Logan woke up hours later in a daze, his head pounding. He tried to process where he was and how he'd ended up in the room. As he struggled to place together the night's events, Felix flung the door opened; “Here you are dude!”“Wh.. what am I doing here?” Logan sat upright."Oh man, you left the club with a lady?" Felix reminded him.“Where is she?? A..Allyson.. that lady.. she's a …” His head pounded. He groaned and rubbed his forehead.“Looks like you drank a lot?” Felix sensed something was wrong with him.“No, she drugged me” Patting down his pockets, he noticed his phone was gone, along with his wallet. “And she robbed me”“Where's my phone?” He looked around the bed.. “And my wallet?” He checked every pockets in his suits “My wallet is gone too. I've been robbed. That lady robbed me. She drugged me and she robbed me” “What? I thought you guys got along so quickly and were just having fun”“Hell no… Where's she? Who is she?” Logan flared.“How was I supposed to know? I'm sorry
Logan stared at his phone in disbelief, his heart racing."Unbelievable " he muttered under his breath, pacing the room like a caged animal. "I can't lose my company. Not over something like this.”Felix watched in silence, a deep furrow forming between his brows. He heard the whole conversation because the phone was on speaker.“I lied that you have a fiancée to cover you up but looks like it only made things complicated” Felix said.“I can't believe he set a damn deadline for a relationship that doesn't even exist. He gave me a week to introduce my woman to him and settle down”“That's ridiculous” Felix remarked.Logan let out a frustrated sigh. "I am not letting my dad take away everything I've worked for just because I'm single to stupor”“So what would you do?” Felix asked him.“i don't know. What would you have me do?” He asked Felix the same question.“Hmmn, your dad is probably only pulling your legs; let's wait for a week and see; he’ll do nothing” “My father is a man of his
“Next” The sultry attendee came out of the office and gestured at her.It was finally Allyson’s turn to be interviewed. She smoothed up the crease on her bodycon gown; if her knowledge or fine face didn't impress the interviewer, her sexy body should do so.She rose up from the plush sofa with her sleek leather bag hanging from her shoulder and a file in her grasp. Confidently, she sauntered towards the door, her stilettos clicking against the marbled floor, as though she was announcing her entrance.As soon as Allyson stepped into the office, Her eyes darted to the two people in the office, she saw Logan and and immediately, she knew she was in trouble.“Have a seat” Felix beckoned her.She forced herself to remain as calm as possible. After all, Logan seemed distracted by the paperwork in front of him.“You are Allyson Scott?” Felix read from her folder. Allyson nodded, her eyes drifted to Logan, thinking her name would ring a bell immediately and draw his attention.“And with wha
Allyson rang the gate bell, she had followed the address he gave her and the cab had brought her right in front of this huge gate.“I have an appointment with Mr Logan Moore” Allyson told the security who came to open the gate.“Are you Allyson Scott?”“Yes, I am” “Please come in” He motioned her in. “That door right there, is the entrance. Mr Logan is expecting you” The gate keeper said.All Allyson did was to nod then follow his directions.She enters the house, only to see Logan emerge from a side door.“Ah! Allyson, you are finally here” He says, his voice deep, at least he didn't seem harsh or angry.“Hello” I managed to say.“Right this way” He motioned me to the table for two. “Now, let's get down to business” He cleared his throat.I was nervous, yet I nodded.He began to explain to me that his father was expecting us at a simple dinner and that he was going to introduce me as the woman in his life. He briefly told me some few things about him in case his father asked questio
Logan packed the car, almost getting to the front of Allyson’s house.“Please” He pleaded, wanting to hold her hands but she withdrew.“No.. I.. I can't” Allyson shook her head. “Our deal ends here. I have nothing to do with you anymore”“But you heard my father, he wants us to get married, he approved of you” He pleaded.“I… I can't do this. I shouldn't haven't pretended to be your girlfriend in the first place” “He’ll take my only job, the company” He looked so scared.Allyson heaved deeply.“Please, marry me” Logan begged.Allyson literally took a time before uttering;“You have no idea if I'm in a relationship with someone”“Are you?” He blurted.I shook my head; “But I want to genuinely love someone. I want genuine companionship” That was a slip of the tongue.“The marriage contract will only be for a year then we’ll go our separate ways” “And what are you gonna tell your Dad when we are no longer together?”“We fell out of love and decided to divorce” Logan said.I looked at h
“My visitor and I have something to discuss with you Mabel” Allyson gently pushed the wheelchair to the parlor where Logan was patiently waiting.Allyson and Logan sat in front of Mabel as though they were her only guardian.“Is there a problem?” Mabel asked, looking both of them in the eyes.“Not at all, err..we didn't get to introduce ourselves properly the last time we met” Logan nervously spoke to Mabel. Allyson already gave him a hint of what he was here for.“I am Logan, your sister’s B…” Allyson interrupted him..“Mabel, what do you think about traveling to another country to get the best treatment?”Mabel raised her brows.. “Traveling to another country?Where would you even get the money? And you still haven't told me where you got the money for my surgery” She asked.“Mabel, I thought we talked about this already ugh!”“I gave her the money” Logan quickly helped out. “Mabel, Logan here also made us a generous offer. He is willing to pay for your medical expenses in India”
After Logan had ended the call, he sank back into the chair and thought deeply, sighing every minute. The pressure of his father's demands pressing down on him and he knew whatever decision he makes now will change things forever.He finally gave up, realizing that overthinking doesn't really solve the problem.He looked over at Felix, who had been trying to get his attention. “Sorry” His voice heavy with exhaustion.“I overheard the conversation. Your father wants a a grandchild. This is too much pressure for you” Felix spoke with empathy. “And Allyson” He added.“I won't inform Allyson that it is not only a marriage contract but a baby contract” Logan made up his mind.“What? Why are you gonna do that?” He crossed his arm.“Allyson will never ever marry me if I told her I wanted her pregnant,” Logan said.“And how do you plan to impregnate her without her consent? Don't tell me you wanna rape her?”“No” Logan barked at him.“Insermination?”“No!!!”“Then how?”“Of course, what marri
Felix stood across Logan, finding some files in silence. Same silence that had lingered between them since their previous encounter.“How is your wife settling in?” He finally broke the silence after several hesitation.Logan took a deep breath and cleared his throat. “Thank you for asking Felix. She's adjusting” He answered.Felix scoffed, his expression remaining neutral."Felix, I want to apologize for being so harsh with you before. I was out of line and I let my emotions get the better of me," Logan said, his tone apologetic. Felix nodded, accepting Logan's apology.”Speaking of Allyson, I haven't seen her today”Logan shifted uncomfortably in his seat: “Well, she is taking the day off” His voice evasive.Felix narrowed his eyes; “ Taking the day off, that's odd.. Is- is she pregnant already?”“No, she's not” He replied bluntly.“Why? Your plan couldn't work?” Felix teased him mockingly.“We are almost getting there” Logan answered, his patience wearing him in.“ ‘We’ or ‘Just yo
“Stop it Logan” She broke the kiss and quickly got up.“What's wrong?... don't you feel me too?” Logan’s voice was shaky, his eyes dark with desires.Allyson didn't say anything, she fled into the room with her heart pounding and her body still trembling. She couldn't believe what had just happened between them.She leaned against the door, trying to be steady with her thoughts. “I'm sorry Allyson!” Logan's voice echoed in the hallway. “I know I have crossed the line” He admitted although he was not sure how to fix it.“Please let's talk” Allyson didn't say a word.“Can I come in?” He knocked on the door.Slowly, she reached out and opened the door, allowing Logan to step inside. He stood there awkwardly, his gaze searching her face for a reaction."Allyson, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.. I.. I just..." he stammered, he need to convince her; “I think I'm falling in love with you”Allyson interrupted; “ This marriage is based on convenience not love” She reminded."I know, I know," L
