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
Logan grinned "It's the head maid," he said to her before walking towards the door.Olive bit her lower lip, she had guessed wrong and almost flared up. She pouted her lips a little,slightly embarrassed by her earlier outburst.She sat on the couch docilely, waiting for him to come back. She was a little bit nervous about tomorrow.If all doesn't go well tomorrow and his father suspect them, the deal will be off and she won't be able to get help from Logan anymore.She would put in the effort to make sure everything goes well. Even if it means kissing him to convince them. She would do anything to keep this deal going till her mother is well again."So. I thought alcohol would make things even more better" He proudly announced as he made his way into the room after collecting the bottle of alcohol from Mrs Jenkins.Olive shook her head without saying anything, she already had a rough guess of what he planned to do."Let's seat here" Logan called out to her, he sat on the soft plush ha
Waking up with a pounding headache, Logan growled in pain as he held his forehead that was banging. He dragged himself out of bed with a terrible hangover. At that time, Olive was already gone.He didn’t remember her sleeping on his bed the previous night and he was better off not knowing. He slipped his legs into his slippers, pulling himself in the direction of the bathroom. He went in and came out after a few minutes.His eyes were less drowsy because he went to wash his face and brush his teeth but that pounding headache remained. He spotted his phone on the couch and he went to get it, he sighed when he saw the forty missed calls from Ravenna and also three from Scott.The early morning sun brightened up the room and kissed Logan’s skin, he was only in black pants and he was shirtless.He sat on the edge of the bed, his back faced the window, and his hands swiped through his phone screen.It was 8 Am, birds chirping outside and the soft waves made the morning soothing and the c
Olive's already dampened mood immediately dampened even more. Her face fell but in all, anger was evident on her face "I have forgotten my place?? I will never forget that I'm just a contract wife." She screeched.Logan glared at her "Then always turn your face elsewhere when you see me. Why did you take the time to prepare hangover soup for me if you don't have other motives?""Other motives?? I only made the soup because you told me that you will be..."He cut her words when she was trying to explain. "Whatever. Keep your excuses to yourself. Just don't interfere next time else it will lead me to think of you having an interior motive!" Olive balled her fist, too annoyed by everything going wrong that morning "Fine. From now on, no concerns from my part. It will be strictly business!" Logan hummed In agreement, satisfied that she easily grasped what he wanted to convey. Business strictly. That was what he wanted.He didn't want her meddling in his affairs, he didn't like for his p
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
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 widened his eyes in shock but he couldn't even find the strength to pull her away from him. She was all emotional and fragile, he just allowed her to do the kissing which he soon started to reciprocate after a while. He kissed her so tenderly, his palm massaged her hair as if to soothe her nerves.Olive was kissing him but her tears kept rolling and her eyes turned drowsy, her red eyes took weak to stay awake.Logan felt the slow response and when he detached their lips, he found the woman sleeping soundly under him.Even in her sleep, her face still held a frown and he chuckled lightly before smoothing the lines between her brows. He looked at her again and a sigh escaped his lips. He couldn't imagine himself in her position for a day. He would go insane if he was to lose his mother, this was one of the reasons he planned to go easy on her for a while.He gently stroked her hair and tucked her to sleep before covering her up with the duvet. He turned off the lamp close to th
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
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
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
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
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
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
