I screamed."Please don't go !!" I yelled repeatedly but she didn't reply , she just kept on walking away without looking back.As I tried to go after her , a white blinding light pierced through my face and I feel to the floor immediately.I heard beeping sounds , and my eyes slowly went open, I looked to my left and I was no longer where my mother was , I squeezed my eyes shut as tears slipped out of the

I continued yelled but he just kept walking and walking deep into the water and I could not keep up again."Dad!!" I kept on yelling as I stood still and slowly bent to rest my palm on my knees .And in a matter of seconds my heads spun and the water began to pull me away.My eyes tiredly went open and immediately my eyes went open , my memories were intact , I knew exactly what had happened to me.I knew exactly how my life just went from happy to deeply depressing , I knew exactly the great injustice and wickedness that had just been meted out on my family.I heard sobbing sounds beside me and I turned to see who it was ,I saw Abuelita sitting on a chair in tears and Phoebe rubbing her shoulders slowly as they both cried , no one consoling any one . A small tear dropped from my eyes and I sniffled.Im

Aunt Katie asked as we walked into the house ."Not yet" I replied."You should , you have a lot of messages in there " she said and I nodded."Alright gather round everyone , we need to talk" she said raising her voice a little bit high."Abuelita is asleep" Phoebe said as she walked into the living room."That's fine " she whispered as we all took our seat."How did it go " Ashton asked as he walked into the living room."Well , Olivia has moved on " she replied shortly and I turned to look at her with a knowing look."So guys , our mission begins now" she said as she sat up clearing her throat."Phoebe you don't have to worry , I'll arrange for a car to take you to school to and fro everyday" she said."You'd have to let go of your school hostel , it's dangerous to stay there " she continued and Phoebe nodded."So for now , until all these blows over you'll be going from here " "You'll also be able to
Logan's POV"So what's next?!" I asked Aunt Katie as we walked into the house."You go into the Bennett's life as Jeremy Davis" she replied."And you're sure , No one there can recognize me " I replied."I can assure you no one does " she replied."How sure are you?!""For now all you need to know is that we have an Ally in the Bennett's corp , and he has assured that no one knows what you look like""Everyone who knows is dead" she added in a whisper."And they don't know how the Jeremy guy looks either?!" Ashton asked and we turned to look at him."Thankfully he hasn't submitted any bio data so we're safe " she replied."That's why you should hurry now and create a fake profile for Logan as Jeremy Davis and submit it first thing tommorow morning " she said Ashton and he nodded."I'll get right on it" he replied."I just got informed by our ally that David is planning to contest in the coming election for president ""We can't possibly let that possibly happen , he's corrupt, he'll r

Presley said and I bursted out laughing."Thank you so much " I said and moved forward to hug her."I love you baby girl" she replied as she wrapped her hands around me also."Where's my Mom" I asked."She's preparing to go to work also " She replied."Preparing to go to work?!"

Ariana's POV Evening 6:00 pm ..."You're smiling !" Brett said with a teasing smile and I looked up at him before bursting into a laughter.We were at a restaurant now for dinner , I have no idea why Presley made this much preparation for this dinner.I wore the new dress she got me some days ago , and she hired a professional makeup artist to glam me up.I was looking like someone about to be engaged right now.Like Brett and I were on an actual date , it's probably a date though."Wow " he repeated ."Your laugh still sounds as beautiful as ever , just like when we were kids " he said and my laughter reduced to a smile."It's nice to actually see you laugh, that's such a rare thing to see " he said."Now you're making me feel like a bad person " I replied."I'm sorry, no insult insinuated " he said and I nodded."I have to be this person Brett" I said , on a more serious note now ."I don't think you'd understand but I need to be this person to survive, and if you want to be with m

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

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?!"

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
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!" He replied, she slowly reached out and placed her hands on his."Unfortunately I'm not,
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.
