Chapter twelve

I still stood there, gasping for breath after that asshole’s attempt to strangle me, my heart racing with a mix of fear and rage.

Mouths in the room had started mummering as the hefty hands of the security guards restrained Logan,who was still fumming with rage. Why the anger? I thought.

Mo rushed to my side, her eyes wide with concern.

“Are you alright?” She asked, trembling slightly. I nodded, trying to keep my breathing to be on point.

“I think I'm okay, just shaken up.” I replied, my voice hoarse.

Francesca, was looking pale and shaken herself, fiddling with her phone… What was she doing?

Within minutes, uniformed officers arrived at the scene, their presence adding to the the gravity of the situation. The police immediately questioning everyone involved,  gathering statements.

It was my turn now…to give my side of  the story. I recounted my version of the scene, explaining I was there for an interview with the dick head,,Logan, directed by Mason.Then he flamed up, claiming I assaulted and caused a disturbance.

 Francesca, looking pale and shaken herself, dialed the police as Logan had instructed earlier. hearing statements and examining the evidence. Leigh recounted her version of events, explaining that she was there for an interview with Logan, directed by Mason.

Logan, still seething with anger, vehemently accused Leigh of assaulting him and causing a disturbance at his party. He insisted that she be charged for breaking the vase and attacking him.

The atmosphere in the room was tense as Leigh's emotions ranged from fear to frustration. She couldn't believe how quickly things had escalated and how Logan's anger had turned violent.

Mo stood by Leigh's side, offering silent support and occasionally interjecting to corroborate Leigh's account of events. Francesca, visibly distraught, struggled to maintain her composure as she answered the police officers' questions.

As the investigation continued, Logan, with his influential background, made calls to ensure that the situation was handled in his favor. His arrogance and entitlement were on full display as he tried to manipulate the narrative and downplay his own aggressive behavior.

Hours passed as the police gathered witness statements, examined CCTV footage, and assessed the damage caused during the altercation. The tension in the room gradually eased as the initial shock wore off, but the repercussions of that fateful confrontation were far from over.

Finally, the police made a decision to take both Leigh and Logan to the station for further questioning and formal statements. Mo accompanied Leigh, offering words of encouragement and reassurance as they navigated the legal proceedings.

At the police station, Leigh's emotions were a whirlwind of confusion and anxiety. She couldn't shake off the feeling of vulnerability and injustice, wondering how this would impact her future, both personally and professionally.

Logan, on the other hand, remained defiant and unrepentant, using his wealth and influence to maneuver through the legal process with a sense of entitlement.

The night dragged on as statements were taken, evidence was collected, and the gravity of the situation sank in for everyone involved. Leigh couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal and disillusionment, realizing the true extent of Logan's character and the challenges she would face moving forward.

As the clock ticked past midnight, Leigh found herself contemplating the events of the night and the uncertain road ahead.

Little did she know that this was just the beginning of a tumultuous journey filled with challenges, revelations, and unexpected twists.
