Logan's POVNext day...Sunday Morning....."You know exactly how your new boss can be Logan, " Aunt Katie started as I was about to walk out and I slowly turned to face her."Please for the sake of our mission, you just have to do as she asks," she said and my lips stretched in a smile "I can't count the number of times you've told me that aunt, don't you trust me ?!" I asked."I'm just saying " she replied as she slowly took her seat on the chair"In whatever you do, just remember all of us here ""We're at your mercy," she said and I nodded."But I won't allow her to talk me down " I added."Just make sure you don't get fired " she replied."I'll think about it " I whispered."You can go in the car" "There's no need, I'll just go with an Uber," I said and brought out my phone to order.I ordered the Uber and within a few minutes, the driver beeped me that he was already around."I'll call in the evening, to tell you how our plans will go ""They plan to attack Tuesday night, it's
Later in the Afternoon...Ariana's POV"Ariana" Camilla whispered as she walked into my office, I just kept on typing away on my laptop."I'm sorry for talking rudely earlier," she said and I slowly raised my head to look at her.She was standing with her hands in front of her and I stared deep down into her eyes."You can leave " I slowly whispered after some time."I didn't mean to ..""Camilla" I interrupted and she looked up at me immediately."Leave !" I repeated my time getting at a little bit louder and more harshly."Yes," she whispered immediately and stepped out.I slowly looked down back at my laptop.Later in the Evening...6:30 pm...Immediately I stepped out of my car, my maid- Katrina quickly rushed towards me and took my bag from me.I began to take slow confident strides toward the house, immediately I got to the entrance, she quickly rushed forward and pulled the door open and I walked in."Dear, you said you weren't going to come back this late !" Mom said anxiously
Monday MorningAt Bennett's residence at 6:00 am .....Logan's POV.My eyes slowly fluttered open and I looked around, within a few seconds my brain immediately adjust and I recalled where I was.I stretched out and took my friendship bracelet with Mia in the drawer.My lips slowly stretched into a smile as I stared at it.I don't usually wear it around my wrist but it was my lucky charm and source of strength.I definitely won't stop searching for Mia, I just want to be sure she's fine.I stared at it and caressed it slowly for a little longer today, I needed all the strength I could get from it to deal with Ariana.My mind slowly wandered to yesterday when she insisted I stay at the maid's quarter.****"That I chose to work as a live-in chef at your house doesn't make me your maid!" Logan said to her yesterday "That's exactly what it makes you!!" She replied angrily."With all due respect, I know my worth ma'am and I won't hesitate to leave if you don't accord me that respect!" He
Ariana's POVJeremy Gently turned onto the restaurant and after some seconds he drive into the resort.He drove straight towards the car park and parked there.The drive down here was a terrible silent one, and as I glanced at him occasionally I could see him grumble, I'll just smile and look away.He thinks he's very stubborn and opinionated, well I can be that also and More!.Immediately he turned off the ignition, and I opened the door and stepped out of the car."Make yourself useful around here," I said before slamming the door and walking up to my office."You came here with Jeremy?! " Camilla asked immediately after I got into the office.I wasn't expecting that she'll be in my office and I almost jumped in fear but I quickly managed to keep myself together." Don't creep on me like that again " I replied immediately as I walked in and towards my seat."I'm sorry""But why is Jeremy here, his work doesn't start until next Monday right ?!""I just decided to," I replied as I too
Logan's POV"What is your purpose for coming into our house!""I'm talking to you!" She repeated and I slowly raised the phone to my ear."Let's talk later "I whispered and ended the call."I don't know what you're talking about !" I replied."Don't you dare lie to me !" She growled as she moved forward toward me."I was standing here the whole time and I heard your conversation!" She said and immediately said my eyes slowly went wide as I swallowed hard."What do you want with us !" She repeated moving closer."I was on the phone with my granny, what we were talking about has nothing to do with you " I finally replied, regaining my composure.If there's one thing I've learned from Aunt Katie, it's that even if you're caught in the act, never admit to it!"Now answering that way just makes me more curious,""What exactly is your aim in our house " she whispered."For the longest time, I've dreamt about owning my kitchen and becoming a big chef !""And I came into your house with that
Logan POV"What If I say you shouldn't go anywhere!""Please it's important that I'm there," I said impatiently."My granny lives alone " I quickly added and she sighed, just as she was about to stand up, her Mom gently pulled her back to her seat."So?!""Technically this is working hours" she replied"What if I suddenly need to drink tea, or I suddenly get hungry and I need food," she said before finally turning to me."Like I need to eat pancakes or pasta?!""What do I do then ?!" She asked again and crossed her legs."I'm in a hurry please I'm begging you " I begged desperately but she just crossed her hands across her chest and exhaled deeply."If you can provide credible answers to my question then you can leave " she replied "Ignore her please," her Mom intervened quickly."You can go," she said and I sighed in relief."Just make sure you're back early " she added."Thank you so much.ma'am " I said as I rushed out."Y'all keep making me look like I'm crazy and a bad person!"
Logan's POV"Be alert guys, they're heading in the west!" "Alright," I said and headed west."Logan, remember the guy with the bomb?!""It's in a green bag " she added and I nodded "Go for it and make sure you disconnect, Alright?!""Copied," I said and I heard Ashton say the same.I took long and quick strides along the busy market, glancing around occasionally for strange and suspicious faces.As I headed west, I heard aunt Claire grunt through the airpod, she was probably already fighting off some people.I glanced around and saw them, the market began to get rougher, I think everyone noticed the intensity of the fight and began to scurry away.Just immediately my eyes zeroed in on a guy carrying a blue bag.This must be it, I looked up at his face and I thought he looked familiar.****"Who's this ""The new chef""Nice to meet you""Brett"****My mind raced almost immediately as I recognized his face. I shook my head at once, this isn't the issue here now. The lives of the peo

She asked and I shook my head slowly."No siblings " I replied."Now I understand your grandmother," she said with a small smile and I reciprocated the smile as I stared deeply at her.Since Brett was an accomplice, will she be one also ?! Although it's difficult to picture her as an accomplice it's possible to picture Ariana as one.I stared at her, who are these people really, and what exactly is going on beneath all of her and her husband's radiant smiles?Although I'm sure of her husband's, I still need to figure out her and Ariana's roles in this."Liar" Ariana suddenly said scoffing and we both turned to look at her

She whispered."That's what you said to me some days ago, why not take your own advice!" She added."This is not the last of me I promise!" He growled as he banged his hands on the iron gate."Where's Laura, she definitely won't let you do this to me!"

Ariana replied and he growled as he walked back into the cell and

The other women whispered as Eliza kept on looking for the table that carried the name Bennett ignoring all their gossips."Found it!" She whispered as she pulled out the chair and made to seat."I think that space is mine!" She heard someone say as she was about to seat and she slowly stood up to see Laura staring at her with her hands folded across her chest."The last time I checked, I was the only Mrs Bennett around here!" Laura said as she began to walk towards Eliza.Eliza stood her ground, staring back at Laura with a defiant look in her eyes.All she could think about was David, and how much sh
Ariana's POV Next day....9:00am ..."We should have come to visit but the police men didn't let us see you yesterday" Brett said to Logan, we were seated across the table from him."That's fine" he replied."Where's Auntie Katie?!" He asked."She's talking to the policemen" he replied."What about Ashton and Phoebe?!""Ashton had to stay with Phoebe, For some reasons Auntie Katie doesn't want Abuelita and Phoebe to see you here " He explained and Logan nodded."Just tell them, I'll be out soon, I'm innocent" he said."Don't worry, I'll talk to the lawyer, I'll testify that you were with me at that time and that you didn't do it!""We'll find evidences, I'm sure!" He added and Logan nodded slowly."Brett, I should apologize to you," Logan started."I'm sorry, it took me so long to realize you were actually being genuine and you're a good man!" He said."Maybe sometimes I just wish I'm half as good as you" he said and Brett chuckled nervously."Don't say that" He whispered."I'm so so
Logan's POV"Auntie, you guys have to see this!" We heard Phoebe say as she rushed down the stairs to us with her phone and we turned to look at her.Immediately she got to us, I took the phone from her hands and my eyes nearly popped out of its socket.It was an Article on a dead body that had been found in the forest and my name was listed as a suspect!."How is this possible?!" Auntie Katie asked as she looked up at me."I have no idea!" I replied immediately in more shock than any of them could be in.Suddenly a knock came on the door and we all turned towards the entrance. The knock on the door became more persistent, and Auntie Katie hurriedly went to answer it. I could feel my heart beating faster as I tried to process what was happening.When Auntie Katie opened the door, two police officers stood before us, their stern expressions making my anxiety levels rise even higher."Logan Rivera?" one of the officers said, looking straight at me.I nodded, unable to find my voice."
Meanwhile Ariana's POV"Hey, I'm back!" Logan said with a small smile and I just sat there staring at him quietly."Yeah!" I whispered still not taking my eyes off him as he tried to switch on the ignition.Tears slowly dropped from my eyes and he let go of his keys immediately."Babe!""What's wrong?!" "Why are you crying and staring at me like that" he whispered and I slowly looked down at my laps."Babes ?!" I whispered with a small scoff."Don't call me that!" I whispered as I raised my head to look up at him."What?!""What is wrong?!" He asked as he turned to look at me."What's going on, I don't understand!" He replied."You lied to me!" I whispered as I threw my dad's journal I found in his car to him.His eyes went wide immediately, as he looked down at the book and looked up at me immediately."Mi- Ari- Mia- Ari-a ..""So you don't know my name anymore right?!" I whispered as the tears flowed uncontrollably."This is not what it seems like, Mia!" He said.My heart was pound
Logan's POVEvening...."So your Mom is moving in with David?!" I said looking at Brett who was seating beside Ashton directly opposite, I, auntie Katie and Ariana.He hesitated for a while as he turned to look at Ariana before speaking up."She wants to, but he has not agreed yet, I really don't have the details I've been banned from going to the Bennett corp, she only told me on the phone!""She said something about doing it for the election!""So your Mom wants to take my mom's place?!" Ariana asked her eyes glinting with anger."It hasn't even been one week and now she wants to move in, how selfish can you all get?!" Brett and Ashton exchanged uncomfortable glances, while auntie Katie put a comforting hand on Ariana's shoulder."Mia!" I whispered as I placed my hands on her laps."No, you guys do you actually care about how my Mom feels?!" She asked again.Ariana just shook her head, her eyes still fixed on Brett. "Why did you even agree to this?!" she demanded. "You know how m
Author's POVNext day ..."They left!" David murmured as Eliza walked into his office."Ahh!" She exhaled rolling her eyes as she slammed the door shut and took her seat in front of him."So?!" "What do you mean so?!" He asked looking up at her."You should just get a divorce!" She replied."Eliza you .. ""David leave whatever La-la land you're in!" She retorted."Do you know how bad, your relationship with Laura can get!""If this gets out, it's going to be an hug scandal!""And it can affect your election, so you need a woman by your side as your wife!" She said."The yearly senator wife's meeting is coming up, I'll be attending!" She added and David sat up slowly."You want to replace Laura?!"He asked "I'm not a replacement!" She replied."But if that's what you understand, that works" she added."I'll be moving in soon, just make sure you get a divorce!" She said to him."You must be joking!"

Ariana's POV"Where are we going?!" I asked mom as she stepped on the accelerator and increased her speed."I have no idea" she whispered tears streaming down her face."Mom" I whispered moving closer to her ."Ariana!" She called softly"I'm driving that's alright, I think I just want this place to be quiet" she whispered quietly her eyes on the road and I nodded in reply as I rested back on my seat.As we drove further away from our home, the silence in the car became more deafening. I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of betrayal and hurt. Dad has hurt us, me especially in many ways unimaginable!. The man I thought I knew, trusted, and loved had shattered my perception of him into a million pieces.My mind raced with questions, but I couldn't bring myself to voice them out loud. Instead, I sat there in silence, watching the world pass us by, lost in my own thoughts.Mom's hands were tightly gripped on the steering wheel, and I could see the tears that she was trying to hold back.
