Olive's eyes were met with the blinding sun rays that penetrated the hotel room. Her eyes fell on her lower body and she made to shout in surprise when seeing the hickeys all over her thighs, belly, and her breasts. She was certain there were many of them on her neck but now wasn't the time for her to check.
She turned around and Olive spotted the man who was sleeping on the bed close by. She was surprised because he was really good-looking and didn't look anything like how Luca had described the investor. He looked like a mini-Demi god even though he was sleeping! His face was so handsome even though it was still morning time. Olive didn't know why he looked so different from the description Luca gave her. She couldn't help but stare a little bit more. But then she remembered that her mother still needed to undergo surgery so she immediately grabbed her gown from the floor and her heels. She went to the bathroom and dressed up real quick. After that, she rushed to the table close by and reached out to her bag to sneak out of the room. She turned around to look at the man for the last time, she wondered how such a fine man could be so indiscipline to want to bed a woman before he worked with a company. ' what a waste ' she thought before she sneaked out of the room and made her way down the hall to head to her uncle's house to inform Maggie that she was done with the work. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Tension hung in the air as the man paced around the room, he screeched again after a while "You dumb ass, a lady came into my room last night and none of you knew about it??" The three guards lowered their heads "We only went to take a nap when the sun was beginning to set, Boss Logan" Logan Smith Snapped "Out of my sight. You incompetent fools". His friend who was sitting on the couch close by called out to him "Calm down, Logan. I still do not understand the reason you are worried about sleeping with a stranger, it doesn't call for this reaction" Logan scoffed, "I do not care either but I feel very wronged cause I was drunk all in the name of attending your damn birthday party here in this hotel" His friend, Scott rolled his eyes ridiculously "It's only normal that you attend my birthday but I still think this shouldn't be your concern..your concern right now should be about your nagging father and your company's image that is at stake here" Logan kicked the furniture close by before he sat on the bed, mulling over his wrenched predicament. Logan Smith is a thirty-six-year-old man whose only agenda at the moment is to clear his name and his company's reputation. He sighed "How bad is the rumor now, Secretary Scott?" His secretary and best friend, Scott reported "The hot rumor of you being Gay has topped the search list and the news keeps spreading even to international markets and platforms. Three other overseas investors pulled out this morning and my phone has been buzzing even during my birthday that I had to shut it off. People are talking" Logan cupped his face in his palm as he let out a deep breath "Scott...I am to meet my arranged bride in a few hours,please prepare my outfit, I need to clear all of these dirty misunderstandings" Scott nodded and Logan reported again "And that woman from last night, find everything about her and send them to me! You have just a few minutes to dig into her background! Even if it means inquiring from the hotel management about the CCTV. Do it" Scott ogled at Logan for a while and when Logan felt the gaze on him, he scowled "What?" "Am I the only one thinking this is strange??" He asked with a hushed tone and Logan shook his head. "It is shocking. Till now, I still don't feel sick and my skin is not pricking, no rash, redness, itching, or blisters which I normally get due to my rare illness" Logan said with a sigh "And This makes me even more curious about the lady from last night" "I thought the doctor said you can only get an episode of your idiopathic contact dermatitis if touched by a woman, how come this lady is different??" Logan stood up from the bed "And that is why, you must find her before I get to my arranged bride's house!" With that, Logan stepped into the bathroom adjacent to the room. The world doesn't know of his rare illness where he can't be in physical contact with a woman else, his skin starts to develop redness, rashes, blisters, and even swells. This was the reason people started to question his sexual preference because he was never seen close to a woman, even during functions his guards were on standby to chase women away from getting close to him. Only his immediate family knows about his illness. Meanwhile, The taxi Olive boarded parked right outside her uncle's house and she jumped out of the car to go meet her aunt, Maggie. She just wanted to take the money from her and head straight to the hospital. Her mom's nurse called again to inform her that they had just a little time left. Olive pushed the door open and hurried into the living room in search of Maggie and thankfully, she spotted her in the living room, standing close to the fireplace,luca was also standing there. "Aunt Maggie..." Olive rushed to her side to inform her that she had completed the work. "I did it, can you transfer the money to—" Her words were cut off by a hot slap, the slap turned her face to the side and she accidentally bit her lip due to the force of the slap. She raised her eyes to look at Maggie but Maggie only glared at her sharply, Olive whimpered "Aunt..." "You filthy thing, what did you do? A simple task and you couldn't deliver!!" A question mark formed in her head "I-did as told" Maggie immediately pushed Olive in anger and she fell on the hard tiled floor feeling puzzled "You want to play smart with me, huh?? You fool, the investor called that you never came!"Olive was not only bewildered but also dumbfounded. She quickly shook her head thinking they were trying to make a fool out of her."No aunt. I went into the room and slept with that stranger" Still holding her cheek, Olive confirmed but Luca only snorted."The investor called that he waited for you in the room but you never showed up! How could you be so dimwit to not do this right?" Luca scolded, she was only a year older than Olive and three years younger than Adeline.Olive quickly stood up from the floor, her cheeks had the prints of Maggie's fingers on her face "I went to that hotel, I walked into room number 099 as told and I—""Wait. Room 099??" Maggie bellowed and Olive nodded after a while.Maggie stamped her feet on the tiled floor "Can't you comprehend a thing?? The number written on that paper is 066, how could you turn the paper upside down??" Luca shook her head, amused by Olive's stupidity. Olive's face turned ghastly as the realization dawned on her. Her eyes grew i
“Mr Logan…” Maggie tried to intervene as she turned to look at Logan in bewilderment. Logan didn’t even spare her a glance, his jaw were clenched, his eyes still locked with Olive’s. Luca was in disarray as she cried to her father “Dad, what’s going on??” She tucked at her father’s sleeve and that thrusted him into the reality.He immediately stepped forward to explain “Mr Logan, you can’t go with Olive, she’s—““Why not?” Logan snarled at him, his question cutting him off. His blazing eyes scanned Maggie and Luca “I am not married to your daughter. I have choices and this union with your family is off”He returned his gaze at Olive “ Dear Olive, I am still waiting” Luca snapped her head at Olive, her glaring eyes penetrated Olive’s body.Olive didn’t know how to react, faced with Logan’s Waiting eyes, Luca’s glaring eyes, Maggie’s scrunched face, and Her uncle’s death-sending eyes.She didn’t know what to do at that point but to gulp loudly, her throat popping up and down.Logan s
Olive was stunned at the sight of the red rashes that had covered Logan’s face. Her face turned pale as a sheet, her eyes trailed down to his neck which was filled with rashes and blisters.She wasn’t given the chance to protest when Logan’s firm hands dragged her along with him. Both of them exited the living room.Logan’s eyes constricted as he twisted his face, trying to contain the pain as he matched towards his car in long strides.His driver, Matthew quickly pulled open the car door when he saw Logan. His movement was fast as he pulled open the door.Logan impatiently shoved Olive forward for her to get into the car. “Get in” he gritted out, his voice hoarse as he watched Olive get in quickly.His breathing was rigid as he pushed himself into the car too before groaning “Matthew…Get the syringe” he muttered the last part as he rested his head on the chair.His chest rose and fell at a fast pace, and his body had completely turned red filled with rashes, blisters, and swells.Oli
At that point, Olive was dumbstruck by his statement "You've got a girlfriend?"Logan nodded "Yep" he confirmed and that made Olive even more confused."You date her for a reason, yeah? Though she can't touch you, you still date her..why not marry her?" She blurted. Her eyes searched his and he cleared his throat."It's just that my parents don't approve of her, none of them want us to be together but I love her" Logan clarified, and that made Olive nod."So, during our course of fake marriage, You'll still be keeping her" Olive articulated while eyeing Logan.“Just know this is a fake marriage. Butting into my business won’t be appreciated by me. Just do your own part of the deal and we’re good” he coldly said and that made Olive tongue tied.Instead of answering the initial question, Logan pushed open the car door, leaving Olive to wonder about his answer.Logan moved towards the house and just then, Scott came out of the house to meet him halfway."Logan, what is happening next?" S
Rushing into the hospital lobby, Olive searched for her mother’s nurse all over the place in a frantic mood.Luckily, she spotted the nurse coming out of a ward and she quickly dashed towards her “Nurse Becca…” she called out to her in a hurry.Nurse Becca sighted Olive and a smile graced her face “Hello, Olive.” Olive didn’t waste any time as she inquired “How is my mom?? Is she receiving treatment now?” Nurse Becca smiled widely “Do not worry. She is receiving care while the search in a broader region for a donor is ongoing.”Olive let out a mouthful of air as she held her chest as if to calm it down. The nurse beamed at Her before patting her shoulder “One Mr Smith paid for the bills. I hope your mother will be able to make it before a match is found.” “Can I see her??” Olive asked immediately and she nodded “Sure. She’s in room 23 at the end of the left lane” With that, the nurse walked away. Not wasting time, Olive started to find the room where her mother was receiving trea
It happened so fast. Everything still felt surreal to Olive as she entered the Wedding Bureau with Logan who had a bland face all through.She could tell how he hated the situation they were in.Everything was already set up when they got there, With Scott as a witness, They took their wedding certificates.Olive stared down at her name written boldly on the certificate. Though it was a fake marriage, this was her second marriage so far. She didn't know if to smile about it or laugh at her pathetic self.Logan tucked his hands into his pants pockets, standing side by side with Olive whose gaze was on the certificate.He could tell her mind was occupied with lots of things but that wasn't his business. They would not stick their nose into each other's business so he acted unconcerned.Well, he wasn't concerned about her. He just needed her to play her role well and every other thing would be fine."We need to head home now. Today has been eventful" Logan called out to her without looki
Scott rolled his eyes, ashamed on Ravenna’s behalf. Scott was one of the people who never liked Ravenna much.Logan shook his head “No. I will come over to your apartment later today. I might sleep over so there is no need for you to come over to my house”Hearing that he would come to her apartment, her mood was elevated as she beamed at him “Okay. Will be waiting for you, Babe” Logan smiled before walking away from the bureau with Scott.As they moved away, Ravenna smiled satisfied with the outcome. She finally met the temporary wife. She would make sure Olive never acts funny with her man!Logan asked Scott “Where did Olive run off to?”Scott reported “She’s in the car, waiting for you” He didn’t say any more words after that.Logan reached where the car was, he turned to look at Scott “Prepare a classic dress for Olive tomorrow evening. She’ll be meeting my family tomorrow and I want her to look presentable” “Noted, Boss,” Scott said with a cheeky smile, and that made Logan frow
“What?” Olive pushed him away as she took a step back. “This is nothing interesting”Logan nodded “Thank goodness you know but refrain from touching me too much so that unexpected doesn’t happen” “Fine.” Olive conceded and Logan gestured for her to come forward.“It’s time” he whispered and she cleared her throat to fit in the role.Almost immediately, the door was pulled open from the inside, making Logan quickly wrap his hands around her waist.Olive smiled up at him as he indulged her “Welcome home love” he said aloud and she smiled warmly at him.“Oh. Welcome home Mr Logan and Miss…” the head maid, Mrs Jenkins trailed off and Olive quickly said.“Olive. Olive Anderson” she said with a big smile on her face.“Welcome Miss Anderson” Logan held Olive’s wrist affectionately “She’s my wife-to-be. She’ll be living here while we plan our wedding. So treat her with utmost care” “Of course. Do not worry about that. She’s so pretty” Mrs Jenkins used her hands to fan her face while beamin
The Ride back was awkward. Logan was eerily quiet as he stared out the window. Olive stole glances at him from time to time, she had been asking him what transpired between him and his father that got him so riled up but he was reluctant to say a word to her. Matthew drove the car in silence, the tension hung heavily in the car, and the only sound that could be heard was the soothing noise from the car's engine. Logan's face was unreadable as he stared out of the window. The conversation between him and his father kept replaying in his head and it angered him. He had always wanted to take over the Smith's group. That was the whole essence of this marriage with Olive. The Smith's group was his dream company. Now, it was finally close to his fingertip but it just required one thing for him to get it—Divorce Olive. Logan's eyes darkened even more, and his jaw tightened. He didn't want to think about how frustrated he was starting to get. He thought getting married was the only thing
“Dad…”Mr Smith pushed his chair backward before getting off, “Come with me,Logan.” Everyone else was confused, their excitement wavered because of how Mr Smith was frowning deeply and Logan’s pupils seemed to be dilating.Mr Smith walked out, heading to the stairs. Olive inclined her head to ask Logan. “What’s going on?”Logan swiftly bent and pecked her on the lips before saying. “I don’t know yet but I’ll go up there to find out.” He wiped off the crumb of cake on her cheek before adding. “I’ll be right back.” Lilian and Mrs Smith exchanged puzzled gazes as Logan left the dining area too, following behind their father. Logan prickly walked behind his father, his brows were slightly joined. His intuition was giving him a red light feeling as if something he wouldn’t appreciate was about to happen.Mr Smith pushed open the door of his study, his back was tensed as he entered the study with Logan trailing behind him.“Take a seat.” Mr Smith walked towards the cushion in the middle
“Can you stop being silly?? I don’t want you. Why in the world would you reveal that to the public??…” Logan snarled at Ravenna. Ravenna's face contorted, glaring in return. “You think I’ll just let you slip out of my fingers?? Just like that??” pointing to her still flat tummy, she accused. “What about the baby?? You don’t want to claim your responsibility over our baby??!!” Logan’s eyes landed on her flat belly and his face fell. He cursed in a low breath. “I didn’t say that.” He said, his tone softened a little bit. Ravenna raised her chin a little, knowing she just won the fight. “Good. So you’re stuck with me.” Logan’s face froze. “We are only bonded because of the child. We are nothing but co-parents. The earlier you accept that I have a family with Olive and nothing is going to ruin that,the better for you!” Pointing his forefinger while screeching, Logan snapped. “Let that sink into that empty brain of yours!” Ravenna only chuckled, her arms wrapped around her chest. “W
{I can still feel you around my cock...} After typing out that text, Logan sent it to Olive, his leg was on top of the other, and his back was relaxed on the chair as he waited for her reply.He didn't wait long for it though. A reply soon came from Olive. {Stop flirting with me else I come to your office to get laid.} ~Wifey.Logan chuckled lowly, totally ignoring the weird looks he was getting from the shareholders. This was a meeting he would be overseeing without his father being present, instead of listening, he was busy flirting with his wife. "Boss Logan..." Scott said from beside him, making him raise his head to look at him. Scott used his eyes to gesture to the board of directors and the man presenting a project with the projector. Logan turned and truly, they were all looking at him, waiting for his final verdict. Logan cleared his throat, not sure what was said. He waved the man dismissively while saying. "Redesign the structure base. Also, there should be a set motiv
This chapter contains a mature Scene!!⚠️ If you’re not comfortable, please skip to the next chapter. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ That kiss was everything to make Olive let loose, her resolve faded away like cotton. Even though she fought to resist him and his charms, Her body wanted something else and that was to surrender to Logan. His fiery kiss made her legs almost lose their balance but Logan quickly grabbed her thighs making her legs instinctively go around his waist. He picked her off the floor, her hands wrapped around his neck as they continued munching on each other’s lips. One of Logan’s hands was under her butt while the other was on her back, pulling her closer as he climbed the flight of stairs, heading to their bedroom. Logan sucked on Olive’s lips, matching her hunger for him, her bosom were pressed hard against his upper body, making heat spread on his chest. Logan pushed open the door and carried her in, he spun and kicked the door close—without breaking the kiss. Olive panted
The next few days went in a blur for Logan. The ongoing war between him and Olive including Ravenna ate him. Olive was very good at making him seem like a ghost. When he tried to talk to her, she glared at him, telling him to back off. She doesn’t want to give him time to talk things out, she grew very distant from him. The silent treatment wasn’t something Logan expected after coming from the bar that day. He misses her so much that he stares at her when she isn’t looking, just like now. Logan was sitting in the dining area, his hands were dancing on the keysboard of his laptop. He looked so immersed in whatever he was doing. Olive climbed down the stairs, she spotted him and her face fell. Watching his back, Olive felt a blockage in her throat, this past few days hadn’t been easy for her too. She couldn’t even complain to him that her back ached and she needed a massage, she couldn’t even laugh with him. Whenever she sees him, she can’t help but remember how he wants Ravenna and
Logan soon found himself in a bar, drowning himself in alcohol while Scott was just staring mindlessly at him from across the table. After that conversation that didn’t yield anything fruitful, Logan had left Olive alone to herself and he went out to clear his head. In Scott’s company, Logan sipped from his beer, his face twisted when the liquor washed down his throat, down his belly. Maybe, this was something he needed at this point. He was troubled by Olive’s sudden change of attitude towards him and she wasn’t even willing to open up and talk about it with him.“Thing just seems to be going the wrong direction, first it was Ravenna, and now,Olive…” his face looked pained as he uttered. “She reminded me about our marriage condition…” Looking at Scott sorrowfully, he whimpered. “She called me, Mr Smith.”Scott didn’t say anything, he just watched Logan take more and more of the alcohol and vent all he wanted. The use of formality was one of the things that pissed Logan. He didn’t w
Logan threw Ravenna’s hand off him and dashed out of the house. Ravenna tried to chase after him while screaming. “If you leave, I’m going to the press immediately.” Logan didn’t listen to her as he got into his car and drove out of the compound. The sickening feeling wasn’t coming just as he had expected.His mind was reeling from what happened as he drove the car out of there. He needed to get away. Far away.Without wasting much time, he headed straight to his doctor’s office. He parked his car outside of the building and ran inside, forgetting public eyes. He matched directly into the man’s office without knocking.Doctor Williams was shocked by the loud noise, breaking his attention from the file he was going through. Logan hurriedly explained. “I was touched. Ravenna touched me, but—“Mr William quickly tried to calm him down. “Calm down, take a deep breath, okay?” Logan pressed his hand to his mouth, he didn’t know how to feel about this. Almost all his life, he has been liv
Ding! Ding! Ding!Olive’s eyes clouded as she stared at the incoming images sent by an anonymous sender. She didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her it was Ravenna behind all this madness.Even though she was aware that Ravenna was trying to provoke her and create a wedge between her and Logan because of the breakup, Olive couldn’t help but feel hurt as she stared at the pictures sent by Ravenna.In the photos was Logan sleeping on Ravenna’s bed while she sat, half-naked close to him. He was sleeping soundly, fully dressed even though some of his buttons were undone.Olive blinked back her tears as they burned her eyes, she threw her phone on the bed before placing her knees close to her chest and wrapping her arms around herself. ‘He lied to me.’ Olive thought amidst anger, she was more than happy when Logan broke the news of his break up with Ravenna but here he was…back on her bed again, sleeping like that was his rightful place, his bedroom. Without reserve. Olive felt a wave of a
