Two days Later ...
Monday 5th September 20226:30 am ..My ringing tone blasted through my dream waking me up to full consciousness , I groaned as I felt pain shoot down my spine, I turned to lie faced down on my bed and slowly reached for the phone.I declined the call without even looking at who it is but the caller won't stop calling."Hmm" I groaned immediately I picked up the call."Don't tell me you're still asleep" the caller said and I turned to lie on my back."Presley" I murmured."Come on , get up and shine it's a big day today " she said and I sat up on by bed with my legs folded in front of me and I bent my head tiredly ."Ana " I heard her call and I slowly raised my head up , I raised my hands and parted my hair which was all over my face."Few days ago you wanted this so much , you wanted so badly for your dad to finally see you,""Now you have it , I don't get why your excitement is gone" she said."It's still there , I'm just really tired" I murmured."It's a beautiful morning Ana, perfect for your big day today , I just called to let you know you go girl""You rock, go out to that resort and be the best version of yourself ""Thank you babes , I love you" I said as a wide smile spread across my face."I know , your day starts now make the best out of it" she said and I nodded."I will" I whispered."And try to smile more at your new workers ""I'll try " I whispered."And please try to sugarcoat your opinions so you seem slightly friendly " she added."I don't need new friends " I replied and I could hear her sigh over the phone."Whatever just be good , love you" she concluded and ended the call.I stretched and dropped the phone on my bedside table, I slowly came down from my bed and stretched out with a yawn.I picked up my night robe and wore it over the gown I was on before walking out to the balcony in my room.Immediately I opened the sliding door the breeze coupled with fresh morning smell hit my face and I released a delightful smile, I stepped in , walked to the railings and rested my hands on it , Presley was right about one thing though it was a beautiful morning.The birds were chirping as usual, probably singing a song in unison who knows , the sun beams peeking through the clouds, golden light everywhere, covering natural and man-made creations, full of beauty and magic, filled with the promise of a new beginning.Which was literally a new beginning for me .Two days ago after my interview with CEO under thirty, Dad told me that maybe it was finally time he entrusts one of his establishment to me.It took that interview on Friday to make him see that I've actually achieved a lot .Even if the resort was a crappy one and was no longer popular , I was still excited about it , atleast reviving it to it's previous glory and even better would finally prove me worthy of the last name Bennett.After some time of just standing and staring at nature's beauty , I heard a knock on my door before the door slowly went open, I turned back to see an house assistant walk in with a teacup in a small tray."Miss Bennett" she called as she slowly set the cup on the table beside my bed.I exhaled deeply and walked back inside the room."Good morning Ma'am " she greeted immediately she saw me walk in with her hands behind her and her heads bowed , they all knew better than to look me in the face.I slowly picked up the coffee she had just brought and took a sip from it."Taste what you made for me" I said quietly as I stretched the cup to her , she began to tremble as she slowly lifted her gaze up to the cup."M-ma" she stuttered looking up at me , I didn't say anything , I just kept staring at her and she slowly took the cup from me.Immediately she raised the cup to her mouth I raised my index finger and tipped it over.She released a loud cry as it's hot content spilled over her body ."Six months and you still don't know how to make me a perfect coffee" I growled."I'm sorry " she whimpered moving uncomfortably from one leg to another."If reverse was the circumstance I doubt you'd ever be sorry , you pretentious lying wench!!" I growled."The next time you make me this nonsense you call coffee , oh I'll be doing more than just scalding your wretched skin with it!""Get the hell out of my sight and clean up this mess!""You disgust me!" I yelled , she bowed slightly as she quickly took out a mop in my bathroom cleaned up the floor and dashed out of my room.Just great!, What a way to start my day!.I walked towards my dressing table and took a seat there as I began to do my early morning skin care routine.I heard a small creek in the door and I turned ready to lash out on who it was , I took in deep deep breath and relaxed as I saw Mom walk in."Good morning Princess" she greeted as she walked in and took a seat on my bed, looking at me through the mirror"Good morning Mom" I murmured in reply."What's wrong this morning again, why do you look so sour?!" she asked."I already told you times without number Mom, Katrina is so useless around here , let's fire her!" I growled."So your face is this disgruntled because of Katrina?!" She asked and I turned fully to face her."What do you mean Mom?!""What I mean is stop giving the helps so much access to your emotions!" She replied."Stop letting them get to you !""I hate incompetence and you know this mom!" I replied."I know, and it's a good thing you're meticulous but sometimes you just need to be a little more patient with these people!""They're trying their absolute best to please you" she replied."Clearly their best isn't enough!" I retorted."They're lack of proficiency is so sickening!" I added ."Relax" she whispered as she stood up and walked to me , she carefully turned my chair to face the mirror again and she placed her two hands on both sides of my shoulder standing behind me."You're starting a new project today sweetie and one thing is certain your staff ,they'll do things you don't like""So from now on , I need you to learn to control your emotions, there's no need to yell or growl or frown!""Don't let a couple of people's bad attitude to work ruin your own day!""They're your emotions control it! and be nice!" She said as she stared at me through the mirror."I'll try " I whispered."That's good enough for me " she replied."Now give me a smile" she said and my lips slowly stretched into a smile."See how beautiful you look with a smile" she said and my smile widened."I love you Mom""I love you too sweetheart"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

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
