"What? Of course not." Lydia laughed nervously and he nodded.
"Whatever it is, just be good."
"Sure." She replied and hugged him.
They talked and played with each other till it was time for them to sleep, he slept before her and she watched him for a while before falling asleep.
The next day, Lydia told Henry she had to leave and will be back at night, Henry only smiled in response and she walked out.
She got home and took her bath, she brought out the box that contains the information of Logan Griffo.
"Okay, this morning, he is suppose to be heading to his company, all I have to do is get him to notice me." She muttered and walked to her little closet.
She was about to pick a slutty wear but stopped.
"If I really want him to notice me, why don't I make a difference?" She muttered and smiled.
She picked a baggy jean and a baggy shirt, she put it on and wore Henry's sneakers. She picked up a face cap and smiled.
She looked at the information and went through it.
"If he doesn't notice me in the company then he will head to a restaurant today then after there, he will head to a club."
"Wait, a club?" She muttered and frowned.
"Jeez, am seriously crazy, am talking to myself." She groaned and stood up.
She picked the paper and walked out of the house, she looked at the address on the paper and took a taxi there.
She got there and gasp at how huge it is.
She walked in and suddenly all attention drifted to her, of course she wasn't dressed normally.
She walked to the receptionist and smiled.
"Good morning ma'am, how can I help you?"
"Is Logan in? I really want to see him." She said and the receptionist eyes widen in shock.
"Am sorry ma'am, you mean Mr. Logan Griffo?"
"Yes, Logan, is he in?"
"No ma'am, he is not..." The receptionist trailed off as he walked into the building.
"Oh, he is around." Lydia said happily and walked towards him before the receptionist could stop her.
Lydia noticed a guard was behind him so she ran and stood in front of him which made everyone gasp.
"Hey, Logan right?" She asked with a smile and stretched her hands towards him. The guard immediately moved her aside and she bit his hand.
Another one was coming towards them and Logan raised his hand signifying them to stop.
"Better." She replied and glared at the guards.
"You are Logan right?" She asked and he stared at her.
"Can't you talk? Is there something wrong with you?" She asked and everyone gasped.
"Sir, I am very sorry about this, we will handle the situation...." The guard trailed of as Logan stopped him by raising his hand.
"Yes, am Logan. Is there a problem?"
"Can I speak to you? Like one on one, in your office?"
Logan stared at her feeling amazed, no one dares calls his name casually like this girl is or stand in front of him.
But she is so brave and doesn't care, he decided to ignore her thinking she is just a fan.
"Take her out, have heard enough." He ordered and two guards carried her.
"Wait, what? Put me down, put me down." She yelled as they carried her and Logan walked away.
"Logan!" She yelled as the guards threw her out of the company, she groaned in pain and slowly stood up.
"Shit, that was a scene." She said and laughed.
"Damn, I am so crazy." She laughed again and took off her face cap.
"I can actually use this to catch some fun, I kind of need it though." She shrugged and brought out the paper.
"Next, to the restaurant." She muttered and suddenly her phone beeped.
She brought it out and opened the text that came in.
"You did a good job, we are watching you." She read out loud and looked around, she sighed and kept her phone.
She sighed again and decided to walk to the restaurant.
********
As Logan went through the files, his mind drifted to the lady and he shook his head. She was really something else.
He stopped thinking about it cause he had something better to do, he needed to meet a CEO at his favourite restaurant today.
After finishing up the work at the office, he and his guard walked out of the company. He entered his car and the driver drove him to the restaurant.
He got there and got down, he walked into the restaurant and the manager ordered every other person to leave except the CEO he had a meeting with, the restaurant was finally empty and they both began their meeting.
*********
EARLIER
Lydia sat at a corner outside the restaurant as she waited for him, she saw him entering the restaurant after a while and she also entered.
She saw that everyone was being chased out and she hid under the table till the restaurant was empty, she smiled and watched as he sat down and discussed with the person be came to meet.
********
PRESENT
Logan and the man kept discussing and Lydia thought it was the perfect time for her to show up.
She smiled and giggled before crawling out from under the table, she didn't let anyone see her as she crawled close to Logan's table.
"Hey, Logan, it's me again." She yelled and stood up which made everyone flinch in fear except Logan.
The guards head towards her and she started running around the restaurant. She ran to where Logan is and stopped.
"Hey Logan, its me again. Tell your guards to stop chasing me." She rushed her words as she breathed heavily and Logan raised his hand telling his guards to stop.
"Good." Lydia sighed in relief and drank a water from Logan's cup.
"What do you want?" Logan asked and she raised a brow.
"Really? What do I want?" She asked and Logan nodded.
"A dollar, I want a dollar."
"A dollar?" Logan asked surprised."Yes, I want a dollar." "Okay, give her a dollar." He said to his bodyguard."No, I want it from you, from your personally, like from your pocket." "Sir, we should just teach this rascal some lesson so she won't stalk you anymore." "Who the hell are you calling a rascal?" Lydia yelled and stepped on the bodyguard's foot which made him groan in pain."Here." Logan said and stretched a dollar to her, she giggled happily and collected it."Thank you so much Logan, this one dollar will really do a lot." "If I see you around me again, I might be forced to do what am not suppose to.""Sure, have a nice day Logan." She said and waved, she showed her middle finger to the guards and walked out of the restaurant. "Who was that?" The CEO asked and Logan shrugged."I don't know, probably just a stalker." "Well a stalker can become a threat, you should eliminate her soon." "I will next time I see her, lets get back to what we were saying shall we?" "Oh, r
"It's nothing actually, I fell on my way here." "You really need to be careful, why are you dressed like this?" "Hmm, I just felt like cause I love it." She said and Henry chuckled."I know you are lying but I will let it go cause you don't want to talk about it." "Thanks." She replied and smiled."So Henry, starting from tomorrow I might not be coming to see you everyday." "What? Why?" "I will be busy and I will try to make time to come see you." "Are you abandoning me?" "What? No." "It's fine, I was just teasing you, I know you can't abandon me." Henry said and laughed, she sighed in relief and ruffled his hair."You should sleep after eating, it's necessary.""Sure.THE NEXT DAY "So I have to go now." "Yes, I know.""Wait, why did you not tell any of your high school friends? Aren't they worried?" Lydia asked and he sighed."It doesn't matter if they know or not, none of them cares." "But Stella does." "I broke up with her when I found out I had a brain tumor, I can't w
"So where is my office? What do I need to do? Aren't there any rules cause you have been staring at me ever since you have said am hired.""There are no much rules, just three." "Okay? What are the three rules?" "Number one is that you have to respect me and do anything I say cause it's obvious you don't give a damn about anyone, number two is that you have to be with me all the time until i tell you that you can leave. Number three is that you have to live with me." "What? What? And What?""If you can't do any of it then I can't offer you a job." "But you said am hired already and I can't live with you." "Okay, you will stay anytime I ask you to then, is that better?" "Yeah, how much is my pay?" "Name your price." "Three million dollars?" "Deal." He replied and Lydia smiled happily, she thought about it well and decided that she shouldn't dror depend on the money that she supposed to receive for killing him."So what do I need to do first, am I suppose to just chill and do
"You don't get it right? I have to leave now." "Why?" "It's personal, we both have nothing to do so let me go." "I'm not holding you down but you can't leave yet." "Okay, till when?" "11 pm.""What?" Lydia yelled."Don't yell." "I have somewhere I need to be and it's really important." "I said we are living 11 pm." "But we are not doing anything." "11 pm." She said sternly and she sighed before sitting.********It was finally 11 and Lydia sighed in relief, they both stood up and walked out of the office. "You should get here early tomorrow, if you are late you are going to be punished."Lydia just sighed as her thoughts were clouded with what lie to tell Henry."Do you know how to lie?" She suddenly asked him as they walked out of the company and head towards the car."Lie?" Logan asked."Yes, never mind anyway." She said and walked away, she took a taxi and bought some junk food with the little money left with her.She got to the hospital and walked in, she walked into his
Lydia laughed and held her stomach, Henry glared at her and she tried to stop laughing, she giggled and smiled."Am sorry for laughing, its just really funny." "It's not." "Okay, fine. Am sorry." "Better.""You know what? Tell the nurse you want to take a walk around tomorrow and hopefully you will see her and try talking to her this time, don't chicken out." "Fine, I will try." "Good, now I really need to sleep, am so tired." "What have you been doing? You have never complained that you are tired." "Well, I am now so?" "Fine, get some rest." "What about you?" "Just help me down, am not sleeping yet." "Okay." Lydia replied and helped him down. She smiled at him and sat on the chair.**********THE NEXT DAY Henry sighed repeatedly as he went through the channels, he just wished he had the strength to walk around.He was about to give it a try to walk on his own when a knock sounded at the door.He raised a brow and thought about who it could be. The nurses doesn't knock nei
“You have a meeting now at a restaurant... Wait, why have a meeting at a restaurant when you have a company and an office?”“It's none of your business, who am I having a meeting with?” Logan asked as they both walked into his private elevator. “Mr. Griffo.”“What is the meeting about?”“He wants to make a deal with you, I think about the release of your new product.”“Call him and cancel it.”“What?”“Yes, I have somewhere else I need to be.” “What about me?”“You are coming with me.”“Why are you rejecting the deal?”“Am not rejecting it, am asking you to reschedule it.”“Fine.” They both walked out of the elevator and Lydia made the call to Mr. Griffo’s company about the rescheduling of the meeting.They both got outside and Logan paused before turning to Lydia.“On a second thought, wait here at the company till I get back, you don't have to go with me.” “What? You made me walk down here for nothing?”“Do you have a problem with it?” Logan asked with a stern face and she bowed
“Logan, my man.” The guy yelled happily and walked towards Logan, Lydia ignored them and walked out of the office.“What the hell do you want?” Logan asked with a frown as the guy sat on his table.“Come on, I came to greet my buddy.”“You are such a jerk.”“Says a drug lord.” He joked and laughed while Logan glared hard at him.“When the hell did you get back?”“Yesterday, decided to surprise you at the office.”“Whatever.”“Come on man, am sorry I left without telling you.”“Whatever.”“Dude, you rule this city and out of it, you knew where I was so stop whining.”“Jeez, you are still as annoying as you were.”“I know right? Who is that pretty lady that brought me in here?”“She is my personal assistant.”“Logan?”“Yeah?”“Since when did you start having a personal assistant?”“Since now, what is your fucking business?”“Easy dude, am just curious.”“Whatever.”“She is really pretty though, what do you think?”“Am not thinking about anything and am not in for those things and you kn
“Its morning sleepy head.” Lydia said and tapped Henry. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled.“Good morning Lydia.”“Morning Henry, I have to go now.”“Its fine.”“I hope you are not mad at me anymore?”“Nope, not at all.”“And I hope you won't get mad if I don't come back early today or come back at all?”“No, I won't.”“Okay, bye.” She said and kissed his forehead before walking out of the ward.Lydia head home and took her bath, she git dressed in her cooperate wear and walked out of the house after having a little breakfast. She took a taxi to work and head to Logan's office. She got to Logan's office and entered, she screamed in fear when she saw Eddy sitting on Logan’s chair.“Easy babe, I didn't mean to scare you.”“What the hell are you doing here? It's like 8am and you are not supposed to be here by this time.”“Or you and your boss are just too lazy to get to work early, is he always this late?”“Yes, sometimes he doesn't get here till 10 am.”“Well that is so not good.”“
***THE OLD HOUSE****JUDE'S POV*Staring at my parents all sad and longing for my return made my heart churn and I realized that not everybody got the love I got while growing up. My parents protected me from every little evil the world could offer, what love could be greater than that."I also got to find out out that you both rule the darkest Mafia empire in New York." Mum gasped immediately and I sighed. "I should be so angry that you both kept it away from me but I know you did it for my best. And mom, I think you and Uncle Carlos have to calm the riff between you—""Did he hurt you because of that?" Dad asked immediately and I shook my head, no. "No, dad. He wanted to but he couldn't because..." I looked up at Carlos who had his eyes on me and I decided to swallow my next word. "He didn't hurt me, dad. And well, I also go to find out that he isn't involved with those men who tried to kill Snow." "Is he there with you?" Dad asked and I nodded. "Do you think I should talk with hi
*JUDE'S POV*"No one as ever talked to me so casually and has never questioned me before." He answered and I frowned but nodded. Is he that scary? I sighed out and passed him a small smile which he surprisingly returned with a small smile to and jeez, I was fucking confused about this man. "So... What juice. Majorly, I like pineapple juice." I brought the topic back up and he clapped his hands once with a jolly smile on and I don't know if I should be freaked out or not because Marcus was fucking terrified."I actually don't take juice... I got addicted to liquor over the years." He told me and I rubbed my heart immediately. "I know, it burns the heart and all but that doesn't count to a soul who has no inch of love in it and beside, liquor now tastes like juice." He answered and I shook my head in disbelief then laugh-scoffed.I stood up from my seat and walked around the table to the refrigerator, I opened it and brought out all the juice in it. I returned to the slab and picked ou
***OLD HOUSE, MIAMI***"If you want me to, father." He answered and the Maniac nodded but the little smile at the edge of his lips didn't go unnoticed by me. Why did he smirk? That's question had been roaming in my head ever since I entered the extravagant room while this Marcus's lookalike sat in the corner of the room with his legs raised up and his head in-between, I sighed out loudly but then frowned when I heard him sniff. "Hey, hey, are you... Crying?" I asked dumbly and moved towards him only to scream out in agony as I felt a sharp blade cut my forearm skin. I gasped when I realized that it wasn't blade but a sharp knife. "The fuck, bro. Ah." I yelped out and collected the knfie from him. "Did he tell you to do it? Was that why he smirked? Did he tell you to kill me?" I asked in a whisper but he only stared at me with a painful expression and a quivering lip.I hissed, stood up, and made my way into the bathroom where luckily, a first aid kit lied. "I really miss mom right
***PRIVATE JET****JUDE'S POV*Oh God, I just had a bad dream that I was kidnapped from my home. My eyelids parted slowly and I felt a sharp pain in my head but it went just as it came. I tried to stretch out my hands when I discovered that I couldn't move. My eyes looked down at my hands and I frowned at the thick ropes I was tied with. "The fuck." I cussed out as I stared around just to see that I was in a jet, in the freaking air."Keep your mouth shut, we're trying to sleep." A female's voice came from the side and I turned sharply to access her. She sat with her legs crossed but she looked 5ft8 just like my mum but her cream golden hair was tied in a lower bun while she coveredx the rest up with a black face cap which matched her jumpsuit. She glanced at me and I felt her sharp cold eyes bore into my soul. "Fuck you!" I told her with a good smirk and I knew I hit the bottom because I saw her hands twitch and hands wrap into a fistbut she didn't make the move to hit me which gav
***THE GUEST HOUSE****JUDE'S POV*I walked into the house excitedly, ready to announce to mum that my best friend is back but just as I stepped into the sitting room, I stopped. "Hey, baby." Mom came out of the kitchen and walked towards me and I frowned. "Why is dad's cologne so strong in here as if he was here?" I asked as my dad's cologne radiated in the room, especially from mum's favorite couch. Mom stopped immediately at my words and I stared at her with a frown, she looked taken aback at my question but she pouted after."I, I was the one that spray his smart collection all over the room... I just... I just miss him." Her sad voice was the least I could ever want. Seeing my mom tear or hearing her voice change to a sad one makes my heart churn in a very harsh way. I advanced towards her quickly and embraced her. "It's okay, it's okay to miss your husband. I miss him too, I miss dad so much... His cologne around the house is good. I like it." I said, trying my best to comfort
***THE GUEST HOUSE****LYDIA'S POV*"Tell me everything!" I ordered and she began to spill everything that happened at the Thomas's clan with me and I smirk. "That dummy is just blinded by lust. And to believe that he could protect anyone from me is so sick of him." I shook my head in disbelief and she chuckled."I know right..." She chuckled and I smiled. "And boss, I saw the guy you described to me there... He's like the right hand man to Thomas and he was so suspicious of me. I think he saw through too." She reported and my brows creased into a frown. "Put on the act... He's not a threat." I answered cooly and she hummed. "Go to sleep, Ruby so that you won't miss your flight tomorrow. Work starts tomorrow." "Yes, boss. Thank you for the second chance." She replied and I hum quietly then disconnected the call. It is so obvious that Thomas is dumb but Odger won't be so I have to tie this knot and plan this harder. I quickly sent everything to my husband, he'll definitely know the b
*JUDE'S POV* I cracked up hard as Snow told me her fun childhood story which were totally different from the ones she told me when we first met. This time, all she said we're truth. We walked down the streets of New York hands in hands but she suddenly stopped in front of a full mirror, passer-by stared as Snow did a full turn in front of the mirror. She turned to me with a small pout and a frown. "I didn't even know how I grew this big and tall." She said and I slide my hand around her waist and pulled her closer. "I wish I had my memories back," she added as I sighed. I wish that too. "You'll get them back, shawty." I told her but she glared at me. "Don't call me shawty, daddy's boy." She warned, just the same way she did the first time I called her that and I smiled. "I've said that same line before, right?" I nodded at her question and she sighed. I pat her head with force and she yelped, she was about to hit me back when we heard a loud car horn from behind. We both turned a
*JUDE'S POV* Holding unto her hand as if she was gonna slip away any moment from now became an habit because I just couldn't help it. She was too adorable. "Oh my God, I'm filled up." She groaned out as she rested her head against the table while she rub her tummy with her left palm and I rub her back in a up aanf downward motion which made her belge. She covered her mouth embarrassed and I laughed heartily, she glanced at me but buried her face against the table and I smiled. "I don't know why, but I like you." She confessed and I smiled. "I love you too." I told her and kissed the back of her hand with a small smile. Just as we stood up, mom walked in and my smile broaden. "Good morning, mom." I let go of Snow's hand as I went in for her hug and when I let go, I held unto Snow's hand back. "Morning, baby. Morning, Snow." She turned to Snow who's face had turned pink, her being shy wentlooked so adorable. She opened her mouth to talk but she closed it back , mom laughed and pu
