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 incredibly hot, her voice was shaky as she asked "What about my mom's hospital fees?"

Her question only earned her another free slap from Maggie "You still have the cheek to ask for that after you failed to do your work??!! The audacity!"

Olive immediately fell on her knees "Please ma'am. I will do it again, but my mom has just a few hours left else she-she might die" She broke down as her last statement left her lips.

"Who wants to die, should die!" The cold voice from her uncle came from the back, startling Olive.

Maggie smiled when her husband came in and Luca just remained standing at the side.

Coming to face Olive, Mr Brown Anderson repeated slowly and cruelly "I said...Who wants to die, should die!!" With that, he kicked Olive and She fell from her knees, clutching her belly that was kicked, her face twisted in pain, and a single tear escaped her swollen eyes.

Not looking at her anymore, her uncle turned to face his wife and daughter "Get that young lady to work. Meanwhile, clear this place, Luca's husband is on his way"

Hearing that her soon-to-be husband was coming, Luca's face immediately lit up and she clapped excitedly, a smile was on Maggie's face. Happy her two daughters found wealthy men to get married to.

"Mom, I'll go dress up now" Luca skipped out of sight as she made to go prepare herself to look good for him, her father was the one who arranged this man for her and from what she heard....he was from a very wealthy background.

Her uncle pointed at Olive "You go make yourself useful by going to prepare tea for the guests."

Olive wiped her tears, her face were red as she held onto her stomach she was sure that his kick had left a wound.

Maggie chimed in "I'll oversee the work in the kitchen to make sure everything is perfect for the important guests" With that, she also left.

Olive sluggishly walked over to the kitchen too to start preparing tea for the people that were coming.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

A few Minutes Later, Maggie and her husband smiled warmly as the two men walked into the living room.

"Welcome, Mr. Smith and Secretary Scott. Thank you for gracing us with your presence" Mr Brown Anderson said as he led the way to the couch.

"Good day, Mr. And Mrs Anderson. Thank you for the warm welcome" Logan Smith said as his eyes danced around the place.

He turned to look at Scott with a knowing look and Scott gave him a side look too before they all seated on the couches available in the spacious living room.

"Well, Mr And Mrs Anderson. I am a busy man as you both know so I would love it if we go straight to the issue at hand. Can I see my soon-to-be bride now?" Logan Smith inquired while looking at them with probing eyes and Maggie cleared her throat.

"Sure" Both couples nodded in agreement and Maggie stood up to go call Luca A few seconds later, The mother and daughter walked right into the room.

"Hello, Mr Logan Smith, My name is Luca Anderson and you are welcome to my lovely home," Luca said with a flirtatious grin on her face as she walked in. She wore a green body-fitted gown that exposed her cleavage, and the top of her boobs were revealed. Her heavy makeup made her look different.

Logan nodded and Luca made to sit on the next couch close to him.

Logan turned to look at Scott again, and Scott shook his head.

A few minutes before they came, Scott had gotten info about the woman Logan had a one-night stand with, and from what they got, it stated that she was a member of the Anderson family. They also spotted her necklace on the bedsheets and her name was boldly written on the chain 'Olive Anderson' it looked like a present given to her.

"Feel free to ask her any questions you may want to know and also...She's a graduate from a prestigious university" Mr brown Anderson added with a glee smile.

Logan nodded absentmindedly. Just then, Olive walked right into the living room with a tray in her hand to serve them tea.

She couldn't find a concealer earlier to hide her bruises so she let her hair down to cover her face.

She dropped the cup of tea in front of Mr and Mrs Anderson, she also dropped a cup for Luca.

While doing all that, Logan's discerning eyes followed her every moment, Scott was more interested in the tea she was serving due to the wafting sweet aroma from it.

Olive turned to give The important guests their cups of tea too, her head was lowered but Logan was quick to spot the bruises on her cheeks and he raised just his forefinger to push her hair to see the bruises.

Olive flinched as she took a step back in shock, Scott gasped lowly when he saw the bruises and handprints on her face and Maggie quickly butted in.

"Olive, what are you doing standing there??. Get lost!!"

Olive quickly bowed her head to apologize, Logan's eyes followed her every movement, her side profile sent flashes of memories to him and his suspicions were proven right when he sighted the Crystal mark on her neck.

Logan quickly turned to look at Scott, his eyes shone as he nodded, confirming to Scott that she was the woman from last night.

Olive made to leave the place in such a hurry that she didn't notice that Luca had stretched out her leg intentionally and she tripped and fell on her face.

Luca hid her smile and Mr Brown Anderson stood up "You silly fool" he stood up and matched towards Olive whose face turned ghastly, she quickly sat on the floor and shut her eyes in fear.

Maggie also stood up along with everyone else, Mr Anderson raised his hand to slap Olive but a thunderous voice rang out in the room.

"Do not lay your hand on her!!" Logan scowled and Scott just remained standing close to him.

Mr Anderson's hand stopped in midair as he turned to face Logan who glared at him, Luca stepped forward to explain to Logan that Olive was a pest that should be dealt with but Logan raised his hand to stop her and she immediately shut her mouth.

Logan stepped forward and walked towards the trembling Olive on the floor, her face was stained with streaming tears. Logan's authoritative voice descended into the room "Olive Anderson. You have less than four minutes to choose...."

Olive ogled at him with her lips opened in astonishment but he continued "....Be my bride or Stay behind with this family. Cause I'll be leaving very soon and when I want to leave, I want to go with you! The ball is in your court so choose quickly. Your time starts now!"

    “Logan…” Olive whispered but Logan cut in on her words.“I know…” His eyes stared deep into Olive’s as if diving into her soul through her eyes.

Her fears were confirmed when he informed her. “I know that you’re pregnant, I saw the pregnancy kit and asked Mrs Jenkins about it and she confirmed that you are indeed pregnant.”For a moment, Olive held her breath, scared of what would happen next. Is he going to ask her to abort the baby?? Is he going to get mad??

"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.
