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
"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
Olive exclaimed softly "Ravenna?? What are you..." she quickly glanced around them. Everyone was busy laughing and engaging in conversations. Thankfully, Mr And Smith had already left for their house, But Lilian and London were still on the cruise. What if they came at the moment and saw Ravenna?? Logan will be in hot soup for sure!Olive whispered in annoyance "Why did you come here? Aren't you aware that your presence here can cause Logan some mishap with his dad?" Ravenna snarled as she retorted in a low tone "You are the one whose presence can ruin things for my man! You got married to him finally, are you happy?? Well, I just came to remind you of your place. This whole wedding.." she stretched her last word a little before she added "This whole grand wedding should have a bride like me and not you! You are temporary and..."Olive rolled her eyes before cutting her off "Old story. You don't need to remind me of that. So shut up and leave!" Ravenna's face flushed red in anger
The after-party was held on a cruise, it was very lively on the cruise as the spectators wined and dined.The loud music and bright light complimented each other. A few people were moving about, chattering and laughter rolled out in the wide space on the cruise.Some people were found around the railings of the cruise, they all held glasses of wine and cocktails.It was a high-end event, some businessmen and women used the opportunity to mingle with others and gain connections.The Andersons couple was a little isolated and they did not mind. They just waited for Logan to sign the contract with them first, they would gain the recognition they deserved.This thought placed them in a good mood as they sat in a corner, eating from the plate of sliced pork. Maggie didn't hold back as she munched on the food and downed it with the white wine available on the table.Mr Brown was busy tailing Logan with his eyes from where he sat. He watched Logan and Olive laughed with Logan's parents. Soo
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
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
“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
