Ariana's POV
4:00 pm ...
At home ...
"Good Afternoon Ma'am" the helps greeted as they stopped what they were doing to bow respectfully to me as I walked in.
I didn't even bother to look at them as I just kept on walking towards the entrance , I rolled my eyes as Presley responded to all of their greetings.
"Sweetheart" Mom cooed immediately as I walked into the living room as she stretched her hands out to me , a huge sincere smile spread across my face as I walked into her arms.
"We watched you on TV today , you did amazing" she whispered as we disengaged.
"I'm sure your father is very proud of you because I am " she added and I looked up at her
"Did he say that?!"
"We haven't talked today , but I know he is " she whispered and I nodded.
"Thank you so much Mom , for everything " I said and pulled her into a hug again.
"It's okay sweetheart, that's what Moms are for " she said with a small smile.
"I love you Mom!"
"I love you too sweetheart " she replied.
"Alright go on now and freshen up, then come down for lunch I made your favourite " she said and I nodded with a smile and finally headed upstairs.
Laura Bennett wasn't just my mum , she was my hero , and whatever thing I became today I owe it to her consistent support.
Immediately I got inside my room , I sat in front of the mirror as I began to take off my jewelry , my eyes suddenly met my face in the mirror and that was enough to take me down memory lane .
My mind slowly went back to how I used to look like before , and how Mom paid for my surgery to get me this new look.
My hands slowly traced my face as a small smile spread across my face , when I was smaller I didn't really appreciate the face change but growing up I began to realize how much it meant .
Nothing can link me to the past again, with this new face I'm a whole new person.
I stared down at the bracelet in my hands , even if the face change narrowed my chances of ever seeing Logan again , I'm pretty sure we have a connection deeper than that and the magic of genuine friendship in this bracelet will lead us back to each other.
This Logan's gift to me was the only thing from my past that i didn't abandon in the attic, after all he did for me he didn't deserve to be forgotten.
Logan's POV
Somewhere in Vancouver....
"Here comes my hardworking son" my dad whispered and I greeted him with a smile .
"Hi Abuelita" I greeted as I walked up to her and bent to peck her cheeks.
"Hmm Papito " she groaned delightfully with a smile as she continued with what she was knitting.
"Where's Phoebe ?!" I asked.
"In her room "
"So how was work today?!" Dad asked and I gave him a slight nod as I took off my back and placed it carefully on a chair.
"Good , Same old " I replied and he nodded , curled his right hand in a fist and hit it softly on his chest.
"I can see a brighter future for you , just hang in there " he whispered and I nodded , taking a slice of bread off the table.
"I know, " I whispered.
I studied Culinary arts in school in a bid to become a renowned and famous chef. I had the skill and I had the passion, clearly that wasn't all it takes or probably it is but I just haven't gotten there yet.
I ended up working shift hours in a coffee job, but my dad is still very much positive about me becoming the head chef of a big place or even bigger ; owning my own place.
I still hoped I could have those though, but not as strongly as he hopes.
"I'll just go in and get changed " I said as I stood up, took my bag and headed towards my room.
Just before I got to my room I knocked on Phoebe's door , slowly opened it and peeped in.
"Hey" I whispered and she slowly looked up to look at me through the mirror on her vanity table.
"Bro, you're back " she said immediately she saw me and I opened the door fully and walked in.
I walked towards her bed and sat on it. Her room was a typical girlish room. It was the only fully furnished and beautiful room in the house , obviously she was the only girl who got all the love and pampering.
Phoebe had no idea I wasn't her biological brother , all thanks to Dad he never gave me or her any reason to feel like we weren't actually related.
She slowly turned her chair to face me with a smile on her face.
"My brother is so handsome come onnn" she hyped as she always does and my lips stretched in a smile.
"Don't humor me Phoebe " I said to her and she nodded with a small laugh.
"Today's work was kind of stressful" I added and she stood up and came to sit beside me on the bed, she slowly raised her hands and slowly caressed my hair.
"Sorry" she whispered.
"Do you want a message?!" She added
"Yes please" I whispered.
"Then you should get married to Olivia quickly so you can get free massages " she replied immediately as she stood up and walked back to sit in her initial position.
"Oh really?!"
"Yes really!" She replied and we both bursted out laughing.
I knew Phoebe to be the always joking type. I wonder why I fell for her tricks today.
"So when are you going back to school?" I asked as our laughter subsided.
She is twenty and still in her first year at the university , she only came home for a few days to visit before she finally comes home for the end of the first semester holiday.
"Sunday afternoon" she replied and I nodded slowly.
"Make sure you see me before you leave, I have something for you" I said and she nodded with a smile.
"Ofcourse, I'll see you" she replied and I shook my head with a small smile before I finally walked out of her room.
I walked into my room just opposite hers and sat heavily on the bed as I exhaled deeply and began to take off my shirt.
Immediately I was done. I opened my top drawer and carefully brought out the picture frame in it as I stared at it fondly.
"I miss you so much Mother , Father " I whispered.
"I just want you to know , I won't stop until I find the people who did this to you !"
Three days later .....Logan's POV"You outsmarted me!" David growled at Olivia and we all turned to her.We were all standing infront of his cell staring at him, two days ago we voted and yesterday, Senator Dino was appointed President Elect, we couldn't be more happier!.With Senator Dino's help , David was tried quickly and sentenced to life imprisonment and hard labor, same as Brett's Mom.Olivia's lips slowly stretched into a thin smirk as she stared back at him not cowered by his gaze."Don't hate the player, hate the game !" 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!" He said and Ariana scoffed."Mom has moved on, she told you days ago that she doesn't to see you anymore , she was quite serious about that!" Ariana replied and he growled as he walked back into the cell and
Author's POV Three days to the Election ....."Make sure there's no mistakes" David said to one of his men standing in front of him- Justin."I'm entrusting this bag especially to you, if anybody attacks you or try to take this bag from you, fight for it with your life!""Guard it with your whole being, this time around the mission must be executed!""We need it to gain sympathy " Eliza and he nodded slowly."Yes boss, I will!" He replied with a small bow."Good!" David replied and the door slowly opened and Brett walked in"Brett;" Eliza whispered."What are you doing here!" David questioned immediately.Without saying a word, Brett just moved forward grabbed the bag on the table."What the hell are you doing?!" David growled."Wanna plant another bomb right?!" He whispered as he brought out a pocket knife from his pocket and began to cut the wires."Brett!" Eliza and David yelled immediately.Justin rushed right Infront of him and tried to hit him but David stopped him.Immediatel
Author's POV Next day ....At the conference ...."Mrs Bennett, Mrs Bennett, " Eliza whispered as she moved between the rows searching for where to seat."I heard she now moved in as Senator David's wife!""So they're now married?!""I heard Laura left senator David because he cheated with her""So much guts she has to show up at this official meeting as his wife""She's the new wife?!" 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
