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.

    “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

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.

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

    “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
