Olive gulped down her saliva before she looked elsewhere, her face grew hot and this did not pass the sight of her mother-in-law. Stella taunted her "See how red you look, Olive dear."Logan chuckled softly as he kept her shoes in the bag. He stood up and walked back to his seat.After that brief show of affection, Olive couldn't even bring her eyes to look at Lilian who won't stop giggling at her."Alright, everyone. I have been curious about something, Olive..." Mr Smith said, bringing Olive's attention from her sandwiches.Logan pressed his lips together, his father wouldn't just stop doing this whole interrogating stuff. He thought he kicked it off by caring for Olive in front of everyone.'What a pain in the ass' Logan was already tired of the meal."I heard from Logan that you are Brown Anderson's niece.." he started and that made her breathing hitched.She guessed where this was heading and she wasn't even sure if it was something she could boldly talk about."What about your
"Babe..." Logan smiled at her as he stood in between London and Olive, blocking London's vision.Olive creased her brows at his sudden appearance and mostly especially how he just came to cut into her conversation with London."Are you back now?" She questioned and instead of answering, he wrapped his arms around her waist, making London quickly butt in."I'll be expecting you by Wednesday, sister-in-law" he grinned at her before he dashed off, leaving the couples alone.Logan let go of her as he inquired "What's happening on Friday?" He took a step away from her while tucking his hands into his pockets with a nonchalant face.Olive folded her arms around her waist, she looked around before bringing her eyes to look at him. She firstly scoffed in a low tone, with a forced smile,she whispered to him "And since when do you start meddling in my affairs? I do not appreciate that"Logan glared at her as he said between gritted teeth "That's my brother!"A snarl surfaced on Olive's face but
After Olive left, Logan took his phone and sent Revenna a text. Logan—{Hey Babe. I'm sorry but I won't be able to come over tonight as I promised. Something happened}Just as his text was sent, his phone started to vibrate. He sighed when he saw that Ravenna was the caller. He didn't need to be told that she had seen the text but wanted to cry over it again.He really couldn't pick up the call because he was at his parent's house and the doors are not soundproofed like his. He declined the call but she was persistent as she kept calling. He almost wanted to switch off the phone.The third call came in and he was about to answer the phone call in annoyance when the bathroom door clicked open. The sound was a bit creaky and it made him look up from his phone.Olive just came out of the bathroom. His eyes scanned her face, it seemed she had washed her face but her face were swollen...especially her eyes.He dropped the phone on the bed and it made a ding sound, indicating an incoming t
When Olive woke up the next morning, she woke up to an empty bed with just herself.Logan was gone. She stretched out her arms but her nose was clogged. Probably due to snot. She gazed around the room before a sigh escaped her lips. The early morning sun brightened up the room,giving it a warm feeling.Olive grumbled while getting off the bed, her hair was all messy and her face was covered in drool and dried tears. When she came face to face with the mirror in Logan’s bathroom, she almost screamed out her lungs. She was looking like a mad woman with that disheveled hair and stained face.She drooled the previous night and it was just so clear on her face. Without wasting time, she turned on the water faucet. She placed her hand under to fetch some water and she quickly washed her face clean. She sighed again as she stared at herself in the mirror.Olive looked like shit. She didn’t realize when she fell asleep last night and it seems she had a great sleep due to how relieved she wa
Olive was like an angry bird all through the day. She was pissed as she got dressed and bid his family Goodbye. She kept pouting while he drove the car back to their house.Logan didn't say a word to her and just left her to herself because he was equally annoyed that she was openly flirting with London.Olive pressed her body to the door while looking out of the window, her arms were crossed around her chest.The silence in the car lingered for a while before Olive said with a thick angry voice "Drop me off at the station there. I need to head somewhere!" He removed his attention from the road to look at her, he didn't ask her where she was going, it wasn't his business anyway.Nobody said a word after that, Logan continued driving and soon, he parked his car a little distance from where the bus station was. Olive hurriedly tried to open the door but he quickly held her arm, making her snap her head towards his direction with a glaring look."Come home early though, I don't care whe
Logan grunted as his call was directed to a voicemail for the sixth time. He has been trying to get a hold of Olive for the past few minutes but his call was directed to voicemail. He had told her to return early and now, it was almost 8 Pm, he thought she’d come back by 6 pm so he decided to do things slowly while waiting for her.7 pm successfully rolled by and he had taken his shower, starting to dress up but she was not yet back from wherever she went to.She didn’t even say where she was going to, not like he wanted to know but he just wanted her to come back home already.‘Is she okay?’ That thought came to his head, remembering how solemn she looked before they parted ways earlier. And then, images of how her face looked swollen the previous night. He then remembered that his informant told him about the Anderson family’s involvement in Olive’s Mother's treatment.“She probably went to the hospital to visit her mother” he whispered to himself. Thinking that was why she had sa
A big smile flashed on Ravenna's face when she saw Logan. The clicking of her heels on the cemented floor made a dull echo as she walked towards them with a broad smile on her face."Hey, Babe" She grinned widely at him before tucking his sleeve.Logan sighed before glaring at Scott. He turned to look at her with a forced smile "Hey, Love. Come with me" Ravenna giggled as she followed Logan out of the place. They moved towards the dark corner of the house, leaving Scott alone.Scott sighed before matching towards the living room where the party was hosted.Logan took Ravenna to the back entrance but not into the VIP room Scott had told him about earlier. Logan turned towards various corners in the lobby, grateful that Scott didn't allow anyone into this side of the house. He guided her into Scott's guest room.Ravenna had a smirk on her face as she entered the room before Logan. He shut the door after them.Once in the confines of the room, away from the loud music and deafening cha
Irritation was evident on Logan's face when he saw how deviant Ravenna was. He scowled "Get out of my way!" He didn't know where this anger came from and why but he knew he hated all she said to his face. "Else...we’re over!" Hearing his last statement, Ravenna blinked twice, as if she was poured cold water, she started to stammer while complaining " You are-you are going to break up with me cause-cause of that bitch??" Surprise flashed across her face like a million times as she tried to make sense of his earlier words.Logan shook his head, he knew he didn't say that because of Olive but something else which he wasn't going to start explaining to her now "Just, Get out of my sight," he gritted out, his anger was still so bad.Ravenna broke down as she shifted away from the door, her usual tearing section was about to begin but Logan was hella impatient. He didn't even look at her face as he pulled the door open and dashed off as if someone dangerous was after his head.Seeing how h
Olive's face twisted as she listened to her uncle talk. Her hand that gripped the phone tightened. Mr Brown said from the other end. "That's the one thing your mother cherished before she died. Since we moved into this apartment, we wanted to get rid of old stuff so you should come over to grab your mother's heirloom before Maggie discards it.""I remember begging you for the heirloom before. Why do you want to relinquish it now??" Olive raised a brow. She was in her bedroom while her baby was with Lilian who came for a short visit. She left Lilian and Mrs Jenkins in the living room to answer the call. Logan had gone to the office with Scott early that morning. So, it was just Lilian, Mrs Jenkins and Olive at home with several other bodyguards that Logan brought over to the house a few days back. "True, I had wanted to keep it as mine but your husband won't let me and my family off the hook. He warned us to return everything in our possession to you which we have done except the he
“Boss, I just got an intel that Ravenna is out of the country,” Scott reported to Logan. A frown settled on Logan’s face when he heard that. He had kept taps on Ravenna to know that she was stranded. He had taken back the apartment from her and she had to rent another downtown. It was a small studio room. Her ex-boyfriend was nowhere to be found since the day he approached him about his dealings with Ravenna. For anything, Logan was sure about Ravenna being broke. How come she was able to fly out of the country??“I think it is a good thing. At least, I won’t have to worry about her doing something to my family.” Logan said nevertheless. “But tighten the security around my house should in case she comes out of the blue to do something stupid as always.” “Yes, Boss,” Scott responded before the call ended. Logan tapped on the window panel of his home office as he stared out of the window, his eyes were on Olive.She was wearing a blue summer dress, sitting on the swing in the gard
"Congratulations, such a beautiful baby.." Mrs Smith giggled. Lilian was behind her as they all smiled down at the baby. London was arranging some flowers on the desk while Logan was outside with his father. Olive smiled weakly as she lay on the bed, discussing with the ladies. Outside, Logan sighed as he tucked both hands into his pants pocket, he said. "Dad, I hope your notion of trying to get me to marry Amelia is over now that I am a father." Mr Smith's hand was on the railings as they both stood there, watching the city. It was evening already. Mr Smith shook his head. His silence made Logan speak up again. "Dad...""Yes. Fine, you're a father of a daughter, I won't do anything. I'll tell Amelia to give up on the chase." He stated dryly. His eyes were wandering around. Logan raised a brow at his father. "That was so fast. Are you planning something?? Spill it."Mr Smith gave him a sided look before looking ahead again. "What do you mean?? I'm serious right now." "You don't
The next few days went by in a blur. The Andersons tried to reach out to Olive to help. Their living conditions have deteriorated to the worst. Mr Brown Anderson suffered from heart failure until he got a stroke. He was confined in a wheelchair. Adeline, too ridiculed by the public, tried to abort the baby which led to her bleeding profusely, and eventually lost the baby and her womb along with it.Olive was shaken by the news. Even though she hated the Andersons family, she felt bad for Adeline. Meanwhile, the feud between Mr Smith and Logan stretched on. Mr Smith was hellbent on making sure Logan agreed to marry Amelia. At one time, he tried to blackmail Olive to leave his son.He had said. "Do you know you'll receive so many benefits if you agree to leave Logan?? But if you don't, I'll hunt you down and make sure Logan doesn't locate the spot I bury you!" His chilly words sent shivers down Olive's spine. She felt fear. "Dad...""If you respect me enough, you'll leave so that my
- Please Read The Author’s Note at the end of the chapter. - As Olive sat close to Logan the whole time since the beginning of the meeting, She could feel those burning gazes on her forehead, and a hole threatened to develop there. In the unfamiliar conference hall, Olive hasn’t stepped foot in since her mother was ruined by her uncle and replaced by him, Olive was a little unsettled. Maybe it was the nerves of what she was finally getting rid of or because of the stares of the several shareholders who were surprised to see her, the reporters who wouldn’t stop clicking their cameras, and the Andersons whose gazes held hostility, helplessness, and sadness. Guilty? Not. One. Bit. Logan as promised was supportive throughout the whole process. He didn’t butt in, he allowed her to handle the work of belittling her uncle while he sat there as her shield. Olive was given the satisfaction of seeing Mr Brown Anderson lose control for once. She was honored by the opportunity to
The following day, Logan was standing in the toilet with a blank look on his face as he watched the toilet flush away his sperm.Relief?? Hell Yes!! Logan was more than relieved to finally get rid of this hanging problem. He washed his hands and smiled in satisfaction when it was finally flushed away. He exited the toilet and saw Olive staring at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a black dress that exposed her shoulders and a little of her cleavage. There was a slit at the back that revealed just a fair amount of her legs. The waistband held her waist firmly, accentuating her narrow thin waist and making her broad hips more pronounced. Logan felt like ripping those dresses off as his throat ran dry. His eyes zeroed on her ass that poked out from behind. He couldn't help but whisper in a husky tone. "You look prettier than the last time I saw you, Wifey." He said as he came near and wrapped his hands around her waist, pressing his hard member on her ass.Olive smiled. "The las
Olive sighed deeply as she stared out of the window, she had been in this position for more than three hours. Logan was not yet back from work and his phone was out of coverage. She wondered if he was okay. She tried to reach him again but this time, his phone was switched off. She gazed outside through the living room window to see if he came in on foot in case his car broke down. But there was no sign of him. He wasn't showing up.Another heavy sigh escaped her lips again, her feet growing sour from standing for a long time.Mrs Jenkins came into the room and said softly. "You're still waiting."Olive hummed without tearing her gaze from the window. "Okay then, I'm going to bed. Call me if you need anything. Good night, Olive." She smiled warmly and Olive smiled back at her."Have a good night rest, Mrs Jenkins." After saying that, Olive quickly turned to look out of the window again while Mrs Jenkins went to her room to sleep.Olive waited for a few more minutes and then, she st
Dropping the files on the desk, Scott smiled cheekily. "That's the project." Logan nodded while taking the file from The desk, he went through it and a satisfied look enveloped his face. "Great. Are the men out of the company now??" "Yes, sir. They have also disposed of their fake IDs and other things that could be used to trace them." Scott reported. "Double their pay for them and you will get a raise this month," Logan said before waving Scott off. "Thank you, Boss." Scott grinned before turning around to leave but he paused and spun to face Logan again. "Also, Mr Anderson has been buzzing my phone nonstop." "Let him panic some more until he comes to the Smith's group by himself to relinquish the position of CEO to me," Logan stated coldly. He had also informed Olive of the development and she was glad. She told him to make sure Brown Anderson was the one to surrender the company rights to him. "Noted, Boss." Scott left afterward. It's been a while since Logan last heard f
“You all are a bunch of jokers…” Mr Anderson snarled at the four men in black outfits. His veins were popped on his neck as he stared at the men, his glare almost digging a hole in their chests “Do you, incompetent fools have any idea of the mess your incompetency will cost the Anderson’s group??” He slammed the table and the men flinched a little, their heads down.Maggie and Adeline along with several other shareholders were sitting around the table, whispering as the conversation issued. Panic was written all over their faces. The conference room was filled with tension because of the weight of the problem they just found themselves. Pointing at the four men. “You all will rot in jail. Watch me..”. “Honey…” Maggie called out but Mr Brown Anderson snapped.“Hold it right there, woman.” Gesturing to the policemen standing close to the doorpost, he called out to them. “Take these thieves into your custody until they spill out the truth about where they kept the files!”The men star
