When we got back inside the cottage, the mood between us has already gone sour.Logan wasn’t talking to me, and I just followed quietly behind. I almost felt bad for not just spoiling his mood, but also ruining a perfect moment between us, but then again, why should I make the enemy feel any comfortable?Logan immediately went over to his files and buried his head into work. I went over to the stove and placed a kettle on it. Although I have never really made coffee myself, maybe now is a very good time to try it out. Just then, Logan’s phone rang.I haven’t heard the gadget ring since we got here, making me conclude that network is terrible here. Logan got up and went into the room for privacy, and I tiptoed after him.“Ethan, what? We had an agreement, man.” Logan growled into the phone. The network wasn’t that good, so Logan had to put the phone on speaker.“It’s an emergency, boss,” Ethan’s voice boomed over.“What the fuck do you mean by that?” Logan was pissed. “You should have
The moment we arrived at the mansion, Logan barked orders at everyone, changed into another shirt and black trousers and zoomed out. I was told by the staff that Leah is away on vacation, which means that it is just me and the maids until whenever Logan decides to return back.“Welcome home, ma’am,” the house cleaner greeted as she took my luggage upstairs. At first, I was confused as to whom is being called ‘ma’am’ because it is quite strange to my ears. I am only twenty-one for heaven’s sake, and this woman is way older than me, more like an old aunty or something.I expect that I would be taken to my room, but I am shocked that the house cleaner takes me Logan’s room. “Excuse me, but this is not my…”The woman chuckled, “You are the master’s wife now, ma’am, so I was requested to take your things into his room whenever you return home.”Share a room with Logan? Share a room with a man as murderous as D’Nores? My heart almost jumped out of my chest. “Are you sure?” I asked.“Yes
Logan’s POVI entered the tavern where the bloody snitch is tied and kept, hoping that I will just see him and have a little word with him, but the boy was covered in blood.His nose, bones and teeth have been badly broken.“Please, don’t kill me,” he pleaded the moment I entered. I had actually thought he was dead, considering his limp silhouette sprawled on the floor.Then I remembered him.He is the young boy I picked up from the street who was starving to death, and pleaded that he needed a job and a place to stay, and pledged his unwavering loyalty to me and my men, but then again, another bloody snitch…just like the rest of them.What is it with these street kids and snitching or screwing things up? Damn, I was once like them myself, and I fought long and hard to get me where I am today.“Who did you take our info to?” I asked him.“K…K…K…” he stuttered and coughed out a lump of thick blood. “Please, don’t kill me,” he begged again, saliva and blood gushing out from him all at t
There are things I am looking forward to achieving, but they will take extra time and proper planning, but for now, I have decided to rearrange the room to my taste. And so the whole morning, I locked myself in and made a lot of changes.From the dressing table, to the nightstand, to the curtains and bed positions, including the bedroom couch. At some point, I was tempted to call the assistance of the house cleaner, but after yesterday’s episode, she had been watching her steps around me, which is quite cool, because she is too chatty for my comfort.When she came knocking hours later and I opened the door to her, she gasped in shock. “What have you done, ma’am?!” she yelled, aghast at what she is seeing.“What?” I asked her, feigning ignorance.She brushed past me and entered the room, her hands flying to her chest as though I have created the worst chaos the world has ever seen. “Master Logan does not want his things turned upside down!” She exclaimed.I shrugged, unbothered by the
Logan did not return home even the next day, and for three days, I was home alone with the staff. Tia became my best friend instantly. We had Logan’s room painted red, and she showed me what the internet was saying about me and Logan and his ex-girlfriends and we laughed about it.The first day she made her special grape juice, kept on having glass upon glass because of how tasty it was. She said it was her grandmother’s recipes that she has been using as a chef for the two years that she has been working with the D’Nores.The house cleaner became jealous, but she could not do anything because she knows that Tia has won a place in my heart, and therefore, she cannot do anything to upset me.That night, in started having nightmares about the horrible images of Samuel’s lifeless murdered body that day.This is the first time I am having a nightmare about him since he died. I woke up and met total darkness and immediately, fear gripped me. I quickly turned on the lights and grabbed my ni
I was woken up by Logan’s loud screams.“How the fuck did this happen?!” he was asking the house cleaner right outside the room.“It is all her idea, sir…the new ma’am.” The house keeper was trying to explain.“Who asked her to move into my room?!” He asked her, and I can swear that the house cleaner is almost peeing in her pants, but Logan does not give a damn.“Miss Leah,” she told him.Logan gnashed his teeth, “Damn that girl!”He dismissed her and came back into the room, anger written over his face. If I could do a jolly dance for this victory, I would. “Good morning,” I greeted Logan, but he ignored me and went straight into the bathroom. Seconds later, he came out angrier than he had gone in, holding a pink container in his hand.“What the fuck is this, Alice?” Logan asked me.“You did not respond when I first spoke to you, so why should I answer your question?” I said. Logan was shocked, but he recovered quickly from it, because I guess he does not want me to see that reacti
Logan sent the house cleaner to call me from the bedroom to come downstairs to the living room. She delivered the message with her nose up, which is really condescending, especially coming from a maid. Anyway, I made a mental note to handle her case.When I got downstairs, the miniature man, Ethan was there, and so is Logan.“Finally, she came downstairs,” Logan said to Ethan, loud enough for me to hear. I smiled. I deliberately wasted some time, just to aggravate Logan.“Yes?” I asked, my hands on my waist.“Could you sit?” Logan asked me, his eyes pleading with me to not be an ass in front of Ethan.I flopped on the couch without a single care in the world. “So…I am seated now.”“You have been registered at a new college in town now, and…” Logan started to say, but I interrupted him.“What?!” I yelled. “Why wasn’t I informed?”“it’s…” Ethan tried to explained, but I faced Logan.“Why wasn’t I informed about this for crying out loud?” I asked Logan again.“Because I made the decision
That weekend, my car, phone and laptop arrived at the house. I don’t know how to drive a car yet, so I driver was also hired for me.The car Logan got for me is a sport convertible, and because he wasn’t there when it arrived, I allowed myself squeal in delight. Never in my life would I have thought that I would ride in such an expensive and beautiful car. Anyway, when Logan gets back from his trip, I will persuade him to allow me learn how to drive, so that I can go to places alone.I also suspect that the reason a driver is assigned to me is because he wants to make sure that my movement is monitored, and because of what I have in mind to do, I also have to make sure that a tracking device has not been installed in my phone.“It’s a beautiful car,” Tia said that evening as she served my dinner.“Thanks,” I told her. She is the only friend I have in the entire world now.“Your phone and laptop are also cute,” she complimented.“They are apple products,” I said.“I know…I know a lot a
