“After that? What else are you?”

“What is that supposed to mean?” she asked in shock.

“Exactly what you think it does.” He glanced at his watch impatiently, “I’m leaving now. Goodbye.” He left her standing at the entrance.

What else am I? She asked herself. He asked her those questions as though it wasn’t enough for him that she was taking care of this home. She blinked back tears, wore a smile, and rejoined her son.

“Are you done with breakfast already, Toto?” she asked him, and he nodded in reply. Toto was the nickname she gave him because that was what he called himself when he was still learning how to speak, and it stuck ever since then. “Alright then, let’s get to school.” She gestured to the maid to clear up the table and together she and Christopher set off for his school.

Logan arrived at work, settling in at his office, his conversation with his wife this morning and the argument the night before still annoying him. How dare she question him? She should just keep her mouth shut and enjoy all the luxuries he was giving her. No, instead, she decided she wanted to act like a deranged woman. He rubbed his temple in frustration, a headache already forming; he glanced at the documents in front of him, then swiveled on his chair, turning his back to them. A knock on his door had him turning around again.

“Sir. Miss Lance is here for you.” The person behind the door said, and he smirked a bit.

“Let her up.”

A moment later, a woman entered the office, her red dress clung seductively to her body, showing off her shoulders, her hair fell in black luscious waves past her shoulders, her lips painted blood red, she smiled at him, and she gazed at him with a sultry look on her face.

“Logan.” She called him in a low and seductive voice.

“Christa.” He responded just as seductively, beckoning her to join him.

She walked towards him slowly, her heel clacking on the floor. She straddled him where he sat, placing her arms on his shoulders.

“It’s been too long Christa.” He said softly stroking her hair. She let out a light laugh.

“You saw me yesterday silly; remember you had to run home to your wife.” She said her tone turning bitter as she said wife. Logan’s expression changed at the mention of his wife, “Is something wrong?” She asked but it was obvious in her tone that she wanted something to be wrong.

“Don’t ruin my mood by mentioning my wife. She annoyed me this morning.”

“Oh no!” She exclaimed with false sympathy, placing her hand on his cheek, “What happened?”

“She was questioning the way I was speaking to my son. If one saw her now they’d think she did any work in that house. I’m the one making all the money and giving her all the luxuries she’s enjoying.”

“Oh, honey. Some women just don’t know how to be grateful. You do everything for them but it just isn’t enough.” Christa said stroking his cheek. In truth, she was pleased with what she was hearing. She’d purposely kept Logan with her longer than necessary because she wanted his wife to become suspicious and leave, that way she could take her rightful place as Logan’s one and only woman but the woman didn’t seem to want to take a hint.

“You’re right Christa. You are the only one who gets me.” He said his hands were grabbing her waist.

“If that’s the case, why haven’t you gotten rid of her yet and marry me?” Christa asked with a pout.

“All in due time. My son is still too young for me to change his mother, plus he’s still a fussy kid. I don’t want you to worry about raising a kid.” He responded by moving his hands to her behind. “Now let’s talk about something else.”

“Oh Logan, you’re so naughty. We can’t do it in here. What if someone comes in? The door isn’t locked.” She said with a soft gasp.

“My staff knows better than to come in without knocking, so don’t worry about anything.”

“Alright then.” She said and kissed him.

The two were far too engrossed in each other to notice the figure that was standing behind the door, the form was that of a woman. He stood behind the door, frozen in shock at the words she heard, and with a small gasp;, she quickly left before she was noticed.

Marybeth had dropped off her son at his school, and she decided to go see her husband at his workplace, something she hadn’t done for a long time. She glanced at the lunch box she had prepared for him an excuse she felt was adequate enough to see him. She pulled up to his company, spending some time in the car to collect herself. For some reason, her hands were shaky, and she was nervous. She believed it was because his words from earlier still bothered her. How could he forget all she had sacrificed for him to focus on growing his company to where it was now? He spoke to her as if she were nothing. His words made her feel like she was nothing.

She took a deep breath, grabbed the food, and walked with her head high into the building. The receptionist noticed her and gave her a small smile of hello and a nod. She nodded back in response, heading to the elevator that would take her to her husband’s office.

Just as she stepped off the elevator, a woman ran past her, bumping into her, and she dropped the box, spilling the food.

“Hey!” She exclaimed.

“So sorry Mrs. Renfry.” The woman said bending down to help her pack the food. It was ruined now so she could only dispose of it. “Did I hurt you?” She asked worriedly.

“Oh no, I’m alright. You just frightened me that’s all.”

“I’m so sorry ma’am.” The woman said again.

“It’s alright. Do I know you? I don’t think I’ve seen you here before. Are you new?”

“Yes. I only just joined the company.”

“Why were you rushing then?”

“Um…” The woman hesitated. Before her was the lady, her boss, and what could only be his mistress were discussing. Does she reveal what she had heard? The woman decided against it, it was not wise to involve oneself in marital affairs. If Mrs. Renfry were smart, she would find out all on her own. “I had to run back because I’d forgotten .Mr. Renfry asked me to bring him some documents, and he is in a meeting now, so I decided to just quickly get them. Before he remembered, I mean.”

“Logan is? I didn’t know he had a meeting.” Marybeth was puzzled, as she knew if he was in a meeting all the staff she’d passed would have told her. She shrugged; perhaps they’d forgotten to tell her.

“Did you come to see him for something important?”

“Well I was bringing him lunch, but we know how that went.” She responded laughing.

    “I couldn’t care less about whether she would be happy about this or not.” He said firmly..Christa chuckled at that, happy that her plan to drive an even deeper wedge between Logan and his wife was working. Still, though, she was prepared for her plan not to work. That Logan could abandon his wife and son on the side of the road just so he could get to her obviously meant he loved her a lot more than he was willing to admit to himself and that made her extremely happy. But if the husband was unwilling to admit his true feelings shouldn’t the wife have realized it already? Woman’s intuition or whatever it was called.Christa was hoping that this incident- Logan abandoning Marybeth would be enough for Marybeth to finally leave Logan and if it wasn’t… Well, she was always willing to take more drastic measures.Logan glanced worriedly at Christa, she had gone quiet after a while and wasn’t moving as much, but once he saw she was only asleep he sighed in relief.He had almost lost her tod

    Logan was driving as fast as he could, or rather as fast as the snowy weather would allow him to drive. His mind was consumed with worry and the worst scenarios ran through his head about what could have happened to Christa. It was funny.It was only Christa he cared about; he didn't care about his wife and son, whom he abandoned just then.It took him an hour to get there. He called her phone.“Christa!” He yelled into the phone, panic in his voice, “Where are you? Tell me, so I can come get you. Are you ok?”“Logan.” She whimpered, her voice trembled as she spoke, “Please help me. I found somewhere to hide but I think those men are still following me!”“Alright. Just send me your location. I'll come to you.” He said to her.He ended the call, and within a few minutes, his phone dinged with a message from her. He checked it, it was her location, and he saw he wasn't that far from her, so he ran to where she was.It was near an abandoned alleyway, and the falling snow gave it an eerie

    The woman had left, leaving her to her thoughts. Her son ran into her, ramming himself into her body.“Mommy, inhaler!” He wheezed. She quickly collected herself, giving him the inhaler and directing him on how to use it.“Good boy!” She applauded him and he gave her a wide grin before running back to keep playing. She stared at her son, her mind reeling with this new discovery, Logan wanted Toto to be older before he got rid of his mother. Insane, the audacity of this man.After a while, she decided they had spent enough time at the park.“Toto! Come now we have to get going!”“I'm coming!” He yelled back, running and yelling bye to his friends. “Ouu, you're so stinky. I'm gonna give you a bath when we get back.” She carried him, trudging to her car. “No baths, Mommy. I'm not stinky I promise.” He whined.“Yes, you are,” She responded, giggling. “No time to waste.”Meanwhile, back at the house, Christa was alone and she used that time to move around the house, imagining herself as

    Christa had been in her home for two weeks now and it was terrible, Marybeth thought as they all sat at the dining table, she and Christopher on one side while Logan and Christa were on the other. To an outsider, they presented a happy family, but if one looked closer, they'd notice the cracks. How Logan and Christa were icing out Marybeth, how Christopher was playing with his breakfast and not eating it with enthusiasm the way he usually did, and how Marybeth was ignoring the two people in front of her who were shamelessly cozying up to each other. Or maybe the more obvious signs like how the two sides of the table had two different dishes for breakfast. The Renfry home was in shambles.Logan glanced at Marybeth from the corner of his eye to check if she was watching them, but she wasn't; instead, her attention was on trying to get Christopher to eat, but he was refusing. Christa fed him a berry which he ate, making exaggerated noises trying to get Marybeth’s attention.“Christopher.

    Logan paced the guestroom his head turning to the door periodically. He was waiting for her to co.e to him and apologize like she always did. He waited for an hour and she still didn't show up. He frowned at the door, looking at it like it was the cause of the current situation. She had refused him.. She'd never once refused him before, heck, she was the one always instigating. Why was she acting so differently now? Was she really that and at him for forgetting their son? It wasn’t a big deal, the boy was okay now and was fast asleep. It's not like he got traumatized or anything. In that moment, his phone rang, he glanced at it thinking it was Christa and was ready to ignore it, but it was his uncle, Ryan Renfry. He cleared his throat before he picked up the phone.“Hello, Uncle.”The voice at the other end of the line was a deep baritone voice “Hello Loahan, how have you been?”“Very well Uncle.” He paused a bit, “To what do I owe this honor?”“I've been informed that Christa is ba

    “Ma'am.” He began trying to reason with her, “You have to understand that this isn't the first time a child has been left at our establishment. Parents come with their kids and drop them off, going off to do whatever it is they have planned for the day, but they always come back for them before the day is over. So we assumed this was simply the case. It is not uncommon to see parents who don't wish to parent here in New York, ma'am.”“Wow, so you had no sense of urgency? What if something had happened to his father or to my son while he was under your roof?!” She demanded.“Then we would have called an ambulance.” He responded simply, “In my opinion, madam, I think it would be more productive for you to turn your anger towards your husband, who felt it was alright to leave his son here without saying a thing about where he would be going to you.”The manager was right. She knew that. But she needed an outlet for her anger and Logan wasn't around. She decided to keep her anger; she'd r
