Logan seized her up with discerning eyes, but she remained deviant. He quickly reminded her "You are still grieving over your mother's death, holding a wedding at this time is.."She impatiently cut him off, her eyes remained calm as she gritted out "I want the wedding. She is gone now.." she swallowed hard when she noticed her voice beginning to break. Her fingers gripped her pajama tightly to press down her sob. She continued but her voice kept trembling "I want this." Logan sighed, she looked very pitiful but trying to be strong. He returned his focus to the call "Fine. We will start preparations immediately" with that, he ended the call abruptly before shoving the phone into his pants pocket.He closed the space between them, his eyes softened as he held Olive's hands. His eyes darted between hers while consoling her "You do not need to pressure yourself at this time. About the Andersons, I have everything under control. Just sit and watch how I break them"Olive shook her head
Logan angrily ended the call and threw the phone on his bed. He ran his hand through his hair, his anger made his chest rise and fall rapidly.He and his girlfriend have been having several fights after another lately and it was becoming tiring. It was starting to get on his nerves!He was so pissed that he stormed out of the room, heading downstairs to join Olive for breakfast. He needed to be away from his cell phone because he knew how persistent Ravenna could be. She would buzz his phone unfailingly.He spotted olive already eating at the dining “I thought you said you would wait for me?” He asked as he walked towards them.Mrs Jenkins smiled while greeting “Good morning, Logan” she said while placing the jar of orange juice on the table that was filled with lots of dishes.Logan nodded “Good morning, Mrs Jenkins,” he said while sitting on the Chair next to Olive. Olive raised a brow at him, she replied“I waited for a long time but it didn’t seem as if you were going to come down
"What?" Maggie hollered, her face twisted in utter surprise "And you think that'll be the greatest and smartest thing to do right now?? Did you forget that you tempered with her mom's treatment simply because you were scared of her getting well and taking over her company??" She angrily said, riling Brown Anderson.Brown Anderson bickered "What do you have me say?? We can't just sit and wait till we finally go down the drain!" Maggie sighed before she narrowed her eyes, her lips twitched at the sides as she suggested "We can still get on Mr Smith's good side. We can do something to make him do our bidding" she said a little slyly.Luca furrowed her brows as she stared at her mom as if she was going insane. Adeline and Mr. Brown wasn't exceptional, confusion crossed their faces.Adeline asked skeptically "What are you saying, Mom?" her eyes scrutinizing her mother thoroughly."We can't make the smiths do our biddings especially the feared Logan Smith!" Mr Brown interjected with his ha
The day rolled by quickly and soon it was Roseline's funeral. Olive’s face was devoid of even a little smile. They got dressed in silence and didn't say a word to each other. Olive's head was preoccupied as she got into Logan's car. She was wearing a black body-fitted gown and a black bag. She tied her hair in a ponytail. Logan wore a black sleeve and pants, he would be her chauffeur for the day. In silence, they drove towards the funeral ground. Olive appreciates the silence as much as she didn't realize it. She just wanted to be left alone in her thoughts. Her mother's dismissal was messing with her sanity that she couldn't cry anymore. Getting close to the gate, Logan turned to look at Olive, for the first time that day, he spoke to her "We're here." Olive only hummed at him, her face was blank making Logan slightly worried. It would have been better if she cried so he would know what she was feeling inside. Honestly, he doesn't even know why he was concerning himself,
“Brown Anderson..” Logan’s cold voice rang in the hall as he made his way in. His deep monotone voice caught the attention of the people waiting in the room.With Scott behind him, Logan made his way into the wide hall where the funeral rites were performed.Logan had told Mr Brown to wait behind after the funeral, so the Andersons were all waiting there.Mr Brown quickly stood up from the armless chair he had sat down in the hall along with his wife and children.“Mr Smith..” He acknowledged Logan the moment he spotted him, he forced out a wide smile.Maggie stood beside her husband, she didn’t forget to greet Logan too. Logan kept a straight face as he didn’t bother to respond to their greeting. “Mr Brown.. I have a score to settle with you” he uttered coldly. Mr Brown turned to look at his wife knowingly before turning to look at Logan again.“What could that be, Mr Logan Smith?” He asked, an underlying grin almost replaced his face.Logan straightened his back as he tucked both h
“So….” Mr Brown’s voice broke their eye contact,disrupting their silent moment. His eyes were expectant as he waited for Logan to say something about the contract he requested.Logan sighed calmly, he couldn’t believe Olive was putting him through this. His eyes roamed around the people there.Scott shook his head slightly, he was afraid of Mr Brown ruining things and besides, working with them would only boost their reputation and income. He doesn’t want anything good to come to the Andersons from Logan.The silence stretched on for a while, everyone else waited for Logan to speak but he just kept staring daggers at Mr Brown, scanning him to see if he was worth the stress.The silence was like a loud echo in their ears, the silence hung in the hall as no one said a word. Maggie rubbed her palms together due to the sweat that was starting to form there. This was their only way out and if they didn’t get the contract, they would be doomed. The Andersons family will suffer major losses
Scott remained silent for a while, he was just staring blankly at the lady who was looking back at him with those innocent eyes.When he couldn't contain his excitement anymore, he burst into laughter, making Olive sigh.Logan didn't say a word as he just kept looking at Olive calmly. Olive pouted her lips a little, a blank look still on her face."What do you want to say to me?" Olive questioned after a while and Logan just shrugged."Stealing the files won't be that difficult.." Logan started but Olive quickly butted in."It's not stealing. It's taking back what is ours." She corrected him and that made Logan inclined his head to the side.Before he could respond, Scott nudged his shoulder "Don't worry about that. Let's just go ahead already. That family disgusts me!" He said in hate.Logan just shook his head before making his way to the driver's seat. Scott stepped away from the car. Olive quickly fastened her seatbelt, before waiting for Logan to start the car.Logan ignited the
The next few days rolled by in a hurry, A lot of preparations took place as everyone was preparing for the wedding.Even though Olive and Logan wanted something simple, his mother overdid everything with the help of Lilian.Lilian made everything perfect, Logan was too busy with the arrangements that he had to postpone the date he asked Mr Brown to come sign the contract with his subsidiary company.Scott was his right-hand man and his best man. Lilian served as the chief bridesmaid for Olive.On the wedding day, Olive remained seated in front of the mirror as she stared at herself in the mirror. Her face was blank. No ounce of smile was on her face, she just kept staring at her reflection in the mirror. She was in her white flawless gown that was made of expensive fabrics.She was all dolled up by the makeup artist that Logan had hired. Her hair was curled to the side. She should be mesmerized by her beauty like everyone else did, but she wasn’t.The makeup artists and the bridesmai
Before Olive could control her boiling anger, her hands moved on their own, landing on Joshua's face.The impact of the slap tinged on Joshua's left cheek, throwing his face to the side. A gasp escaped Joshua's lip before he turned to face Olive again with shock written all over his face. His lips were slightly opened and his eyes were bulging out of their sockets.Trembling in hatred, a String of curses escaped Olive's lips as she retorted. "You stupid dick head. You're nothing but my worst mistake and I'm never going back to my vomit." Her eyes shook, her lips quivering due to the raging emotions in her.She forcefully pulled her hand off his grip before threatening him. "If you still want to keep your miserable life intact then stay far away from me else Logan will have you apprehended and you'll rot in jail." She barked at Joshua who was still holding onto his cheek.He was rather stupefied by Olive's bold actions. Her slap on his face was a strong reminder of how brave she was no
Logan quickly turned on his phone again and searched for Ravenna's contact. He paused for a while as if contemplating what to do. After some time, he tapped on the 'block' option and blocked her number. He couldn't deal with Ravenna at this point. He was starting to get back on track again and he could see his dream company already close to his palm, he wouldn't let Ravenna ruin it.For now, he focused on the little woman under his roof. Logan got close to Olive's bedroom door and tapped on it.He waited for a while but didn't get a response so he tried to knock on the door again. After the second time, he still didn't get a response, making his brows join together as a frown fell on his face."I'm coming in." He announced in case she could hear him. He twisted the doorknob and pushed open the door effortlessly.Her scent swept into his nostril the moment he entered, his eyes searched through the room before landing on the empty bed."Where did she go?" He mumbled to himself before
Logan's face chilled as he glared at the two people who were unaware of their presence.Matthew nervously asked. "Sir-sir should I still drive towards them or..." "Drive past them," Logan growled, he lowered the window as he threw a dirty look at the two people.Ravenna, who was busy grinning at her boyfriend, staggered a little when she saw Logan's car approaching.Worst of all, his window was rolled down and his eyes were throwing daggers at her. Ravenna quickly hid her face on her boyfriend's back and the clueless man turned around to try to ask her questions. "What, babe? Why are you suddenly hiding? Is this some sort of play?" He kept smiling, thinking Ravenna was up for jokes again.Ravenna just wanted to shut his mouth up but she could only growl in frustration. "Stop talking!" She scolded him. Just like that, she watched Logan's car drive past and she quickly came out of the man's back, her eyes following Logan's car.Ravenna twisted her face as she ran her hand through her
Torn? Confused?Olive didn't know what to feel as she kept staring mindlessly at the pregnancy kit in her hand, the two red lines glaring back at her.She was sitting on the latrine with her hair dripping wet. She had been washing her face to at least calm herself down but nothing was working.She was glad that she could finally conceive—when she couldn't give Joshua a child she had thought so many negative things. She had thought the problem was from her. Even though she had undergone several medical tests which proved that she was fertile and everything was in order, she still had this lingering thought.Olive was overwhelmed as relief washed over her. She shut her eyes tightly as the tears that burned started to tickle down her cheeks. Even in all the happiness, she was still sad. Olive wasn't sure if the baby came at the right time or not but she was skeptical if Logan would want the child.He's the only man she has slept with since she divorced Joshua but then again...this was a
The days ran by quickly with the couples on a mini-silent war with each other.No one wanted to address that night they had sex. They were both drunk and after the did,they didn’t want to talk about it.Logan felt sorry for doing that to Olive so he started to keep his distance, not sure he would be able to look her in the eyes again.Seeing how he didn’t address that night and he seemed to be avoiding her, Jasmine was rather sad and irritated. She thought he felt disgusted by her so he started to maintain his distance.On this day, Logan rushed back home to collect some files from his home office.He was In a hurry as he climbed the stairs, his long legs moving at a fast pace.He entered the long passage, and just when he was about to reach his bedroom door, the door opposite his room suddenly opened.He stiffened when he saw Olive, he subconsciously stopped in his tracks as they both locked gazes. No one said a word and Logan cleared his throat, the awkwardness was there.Olive’s e
"He used to be supportive" She continued, not noticing how moody the man next to her was becoming. Olive spent the next few minutes talking while taking large gulps of alcohol. Logan was annoyed so he drowned himself in the alcohol, wondering if Olive was still in love with her ex-husband. The thought of that set him in a terrible mood.Moments later they were both dead drunk. Olive was spread out on the edge of the bed, and Logan's eyes were drowsy.Olive's face was flushed red as she lay weakly on the bed, The bottle was lying helplessly on the table. She laid on her side with her ass sticking up, the robe was pushed to the side, exposing her thighs. Logan's throat popped up and down as his eyes remained glued on her white thighs that were inviting him to leave hickeys on them.He was tempted by the beautiful sight and the position she was in was inviting. With her ass sticking up and her slight moaning made him lose his last straw of restraint.He lowered his head and embraced
Logan stiffened a little when he was reminded of that, he twisted his lips before shaking his head "No, I think she's gone" he reported back and Olive let out a sigh, her eyes still glued on him.Silence followed after that brief interaction, nobody said a word. Olive was staring at Logan while Logan was feeling very awkward. Why wouldn't he feel awkward when her exposed body was bare before his eyes, water dripping off her translucent skin and hair. She was sitting on the edge of the bed watching him with those large eyes. He shifted uncomfortable in his standing position.The silence stretched on and Logan scratched the back of his non-itchy head before turning around to find something to adjust the awkwardness in the room.Never was he like this.'What's happening to me? Logan, get it together!' He cried out in his head as he chided himself. This was his honeymoon but instead of acting as nonchalant as ever as he planned, here he was...acting like a teen.He spotted the bottle of
Olive was oblivious to the person staring mindlessly at her. She slowly got up from the jacuzzi, her wet hair was stuck on her face and back. The blue light illuminated her body as the water dripped from her hair to her feet, giving her a wet sexual image.Olive looked like a seductress Queen as she made to go take her phone from the Table she placed it on.Getting off the water, she started to push her hair off her chest to her back. She let out a sigh before raising her head only to be startled by the figure looming over the door.She quickly took a sharp before taking a step back as her hands snaked around her body to cover up her exposed body from Logan.Logan had seen her get out of the Jacuzzi but honestly, he didn't want to leave there, he just wanna keep looking even though he knew that if she caught him staring, that would be embarrassing.Olive stammered "What are you doing behind the door, Gawking??" Logan cleared his throat, for the first time in his life he was at a los
Logan slowly pushed the door open as he carried the drunk bride into the condo. Olive remained silent in his arms. This time around, she was a little wide awake due to the kiss from earlier.Logan shut the door behind him, shutting the loud music as silence reigned in the room, the faintly lit condo was beautifully designed. A large king-size bed was close to the wall, a heart shape was formed with rose petals on top of the bed. The room was faintly lit by dull lights and red candles. “You awake?” He called out softly as he moved towards the bed. Olive hummed in response.He slowly placed her on the bed and she sat on it, her eyes remained glued on his body.He placed a hand on his waist while stating “I have signed the contract with the Andersons, I think they should be gone by now!” He said calmly and Olive just nodded her head a little. Logan wasn’t satisfied with her response so he asked “What are you thinking about?” Olive sighed “Ravenna came, she confronted me earlier when y
