Chapter 38Abigail’s POVJudging from the huge modern mansion that was in front of us, it was quite obvious that Camilla’s parents were wealthy and well to do. There were cars parked at each side of the huge car park in front of the house. Logan effortlessly drove the Mercedes in between two other cars and then stopped the engine. He stepped out of the car leaving me inside the car and a few seconds later the door to the passengers seat was open and he stretched out his hand towards me. “Come on” he said with a nod, gesturing for me to take his hands. I placed my small hands into his larger ones and he helped me out of the car. I held onto his hand to stabilize myself because I had on my feet a stiletto heel. As soon as I was able to stabilize myself Logan placed a hand under my chin and tilted my head upwards, “you’ll be fine, I promise. Just stay by my side” then he intertwined his arm with mine and we made our way to the entrance. The pleasant aroma of various dishes that were
Chapter 39Abigail’s POVLogan nodded, “I believe I didn’t stutter. The lady over here is my surrogate”Camilla’s father had a confused expression on his face, “Son, I do not understand. Why do you have a surrogate? When did this all happen?” Camilla’s father asked, then turned to give Logan’s father a confused look. Logan’s father looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here. “It isn’t what it seems like. My son got a surrogate when he discovered that Camilla couldn’t beat children” Logan’s father tried to explain. Camilla’s mother sighed, she also had this issue in her marriage. They also had a surrogate but unlike her daughter, she was fertile enough to contribute to the pregnancy. “Did you discuss this with my daughter before making this decision?” Camilla’s mother, Bridget, questioned Logan with a straight face. “Your daughter is aware of this. She isn’t just taking it well because she feels insecure. Not to mention, she was out of the country when I decided to get a surrog
Chapter 40Logan’s POVAfter the occurrence at the dinner party, the entire week was uneventful. I was surprised that I wasn’t getting any calls from my father reminding me to reach out to Camilla. I haven’t done that and I do not plan on doing that any time soon. A smile formed on my face as I recalled how responsive Abigail was on Sunday night. It only made me glad that I was able to please her in the best possible way. We were still awaiting the result of the pregnancy test that was carried out at the hospital. Today makes it two months since Abigail moved into the villa and it has been the best two months of my life so far. Coming home each day knowing I would meet her had to be one of my favorite parts of the day. I wish the result would come out negative because that would give me more time to carry out my plans effectively and also it would increase the months we have to spend together. The vibration of my phone in the pocket of my trouser broke me out of the train of thoug
Chapter 41 Abigail’s POV After the pregnancy was confirmed positive, Logan made sure to even double his protectiveness. If I thought his protectiveness earlier was choking then this was way worse. I really couldn’t go anywhere without a guard by my side. Yes, he even went as far as assigning a guard who follows me each time I go to visit my mother. I felt like my new found freedom was confiscated once again. Logan rarely took me along to events like he started doing recently. I was already one month gone, so I decided to visit my mother more frequently now. Before I start showing. As usual, Mrs Johnson prepared the meal I would carry along to my mother. I carried it along and began my journey to the hospital. In no time we arrived at the hospital and I instructed the guard to wait outside the hospital room while I went in to see my mother. I gathered enough fund with the support of Sebastien and I was able to pay for the surgery. The doctors were able to remove the tumor succe
Chapter 42Logan’s POVThe pregnancy was progressing well, everything was going according to plan and I couldn’t be more glad. Today my group had a meeting with the boss. By my group, I mean Gabe, Eli and I. As usual, I was up early. I had a cup of coffee before setting out but not after making sure to spell it out to Mrs Johnson that Abigail must not miss any meals and all meals must be given at the appropriate time. And of course, I didn’t forget to remind the guards of their duties too. I even went as far as threatening them. I opened a compartment in my car where I kept items needed for meetings like this. By items, I meant weapons. I pulled out a pocket pistol from the stack of weapons and slid it into the pocket of my trouser. The pocket pistol had to be my favorite weapon because of its portability and concealable nature. My phone buzzed with a notification from Gabe, ‘hurry up, butt head. We are running late’. I rolled my eyes at the newfound name, then pressed on the acce
Chapter 1Abigail's POVI tossed and turned on the bed, I wasn't comfortable. Something felt wrong, I could not make out a lot but one thing I was sure of is that the bed on which I laid was drenched. Yes, drenched in my own sweat. I sat up with a start and began trying to locate the zip of the short red dress I was putting on. Not having enough patience to locate the zip. I forcefully pulled the dress out of my body and by so doing, the dress got ripped. Leaving myself clad in only my bra and thong.I laid back down and closed my eyes, trying to see if I would get some sleep now that I had no clothes on except my underwear but I still felt the same way. My head was banging, my throat was dry and I had a terrible body ache. I closed my eyes for what felt like hours but could have also been minutes. Then like a hurricane, it hit me. The reason I was here, in this bar room. It was all the fault of that stupid son of a bitch! I caught my boyfriend, well ex boyfriend now, cheating on me
Chapter 2Logan's POVMy alarm went off signalling that it was time for me to wake up. I was just having the best sleep I have had in days but unfortunately, I had other things to do today so I have to get out of bed. I sat up on the bed then turned to stare at the other side of the bed expecting to see the petite young lady from last night still laying there, but to my surprise, she was gone! Well, what should I have expected? She was clearly not stable the previous night and she probably came to her senses this morning and realised that she should not be in a stranger's room. I did not realise in time, if I did I wouldn't have slept with her.I proceeded to pick up my phone from the bedside table and then I noticed a fifty dollar note was placed under the bedside lamp on the bedside table. I don't remember coming here with any money the previous night. So there is no way the money could be mine. Unless, the lady from last night forgot to take all her properties. I was about to con
Chapter 3Abigail's POV “Oh, shit. Are you for real?!” Gigi exclaimed as I filled her in on the events of the previous night. I found her in my house when I got back from the bar that morning. Yes, I gave her a spare key to my apartment. Apparently, she had also ended up drunk and she still managed to drive to her apartment! Real crazy. “Yes, I am damn serious,” I told her. “infact, I am still sore from the activities of the night” “Oh, my! I am so excited for you!” Gigi exclaimed, “come on, give me all the details! I told you, you were going to get laid and see, it happened!”I rolled my eyes, “It only happened because I wasn't in the right state of mind. But I can't deny the fact that I had a really nice time.” Gigi looked at me with widened eyes, expecting more information. “Was he huge? Was he muscular? Was he sexy? Did he have a deep voice?” Gigi threw those questions at me all at once. “He was in fact all of those things” I said with a smile, remembering his deep voice fr

Chapter 37Abigail’s POV As the day of the dinner party drew nearer, I found myself getting more and more anxious at the thought of how the whole event could play out. A part of me strongly believed Logan’s assurance that nothing would go wrong. But, another part of me still had the feeling that something was going to go wrong. “Umm… I wouldn’t be able to attend the dinner on Sunday” I said nervously because I was scared of what his reaction could be, but I just had to say it. We laid on the bed and Logan had his arms around my waist with my back leaning against his chest. I felt his arms tighten around my waist when he heard that. “What do you mean by that?” He asked, his hot breath fanning my cheek. “Unfortunately, I have an important place to be on that day. I just got notified today” I explained calmly, trying to sound as sincere as possible even though I was just making up a lie. “And what is that thing that is so important? Have you forgotten that we made an agreement?” Lo
Chapter 36Logan’s POVI watched as Abigail walked into the bedroom with a bright expression on her face. I could see that she must have enjoyed her outing with her friend, Gigi.She turned to face me upon noticing my gaze on her, “oh. You got back before me today” she said, then proceeded to drop her bag on the dressing table. “I sure did” I replied with a curt nod, not taking my gaze off her. I watched as she unbuckled her sandals and then carefully pulled them off before placing them aside. “How was your outing?” I asked, even though I knew the reply to expect.“It was really good! It felt really nice being able to see Gigi in a place outside the four walls of this villa” she said, “not that you haven’t been generous enough to allow her visit, though” she quickly added. “Hmm,” I said with a nod, “that’s good. So, where did you both go?” “We went to a restaurant in town,” she said, eying me suspiciously.I nodded. I like the fact that she was being so honest. I always know her w
Chapter 35Abigail’s POV“Oh my God. I’m so excited to see you” Gigi squealed as she made her way through the restaurant and eventually slid into the empty space beside me before engulfing me in a hug. Yes, you must be wondering if we were the only people in the restaurant this very day. The answer to your question is a big NO. My best friend didn’t just care if she drew attention to herself.In fact, she feeds on attention. I wrapped my arms around her gently in contrast to the firm hold she had around me. “I’m excited to see you too, Gigi” I said, giggling at her excitement.She finally released me and stared at me with her huge doe eyes, “I see Mr Logan finally permitted you some freedom from his confinement” she said with a smile on her face. “Yes, he did,” I said with a nod. “Come on!” She nudged me, “Give me details, how did you manage to convince him to grant you this freedom?” She asked, her tone giving off the fact that she was so curious to get an answer. “Well… more l
Chapter 34Helena’s POV My lips instinctively became upturned as I stared at the bundles of new notes in my arms. I wasn’t aware of the total amount yet but I could tell that it would amount to more than a million dollars, which was the agreed fee. I love the feeling that came with having tons of money. It filled me with some sort of joy. “It was nice working with you” I said with a sly smirk as I tucked the money into my black drawstring bag before putting it in my backpack. This was the job I did. This was the job that provided me with my daily income, and never have I regretted getting into it. “Well done. You did well” I was taken aback by that, for Gabe to actually praise me for my effort, it could only mean that I really did well. Far beyond whatever expectations they might have had. I nodded, “thank you,” then he walked away, I stared at his retreating figure till he was eventually out of sight. For some people, it might seem like the job I involved myself in was risky
