Logan’s P. O. V.
The last couple of days has been really great and I knew exactly why. I would watch from a corner in the house as Layla picked up the flowers that I left for her in sheer glee. Her smiles, how little was everything to me. I realized that I didn’t just want sex from her, I wanted everything.
The past few weeks has been a busy one. I went to my office today. Dani has been unable to track Templeman down after the play Dylano had put up that night. I never really gave much thoughts to the things he’d said that night. I’d made it clear that I wasn’t turning up at some reunion he and my father was planning on.
” Good morning sir ” my secretary greeted from her desk as Dani and I proceeded towards my office room. I nodded in acknowledgement before stepping into my office room.
” It’s nice to finally have you out here today, boss ” Dani said as he slumped down on my office longue.
I gave him a short laugh. He was right. It’s been really long.
I sat down on my chair and pulled the open laptop on my desk closer. I decided to look at a couple of business transaction evidence files my secretary had sent to my email. I hated sitting at a desk and working on paperworks. My uncle knew that from the start and made me handle other businesses like meeting with clients and putting bullets in his enemies heads. But after inheriting his numerous companies, I needed to become the CEO for more companies and run them, thus showing up at places like this sometimes.
” What’s your next move, boss?” Dani asked and I gave him a questioning look ” about Jamie Templeman. You still haven’t given the order to raid his hideout ” he added.
” Templeman isn’t there, Dani, ” I replied him “he’s not an idiot. He’s not that easy to find. Even if he was there, now’s not the time to go hunting. I have a lot to worry about right now ”
Layla…
I tried to push the thoughts that came with the images of her out of my mind.
My door bursts open and I looked up. I felt my smile instantly drain away as I saw the person who just walked in, fire in her eyes. I hadn’t expected to be seeing her at all.
” Mom ” I called, trying to hide the surprise in my voice.
She has aged a great deal from the last time I’ve seen her a couple of years ago. New wrinkles seems to have added to the fewer ones around her eyes and lips. But she’s still well dressed in excess facial make up and all the designer clothes she spends all her money buying. But one thing still hasn’t changed. Her eyes. The way they looked at me. They way they carried hate and anger.
She strides in angrily, only slamming her purse on my desk as soon as she reached me.
” Logan Michelle DeAngelo! ” She screams my name angrily.
Covering my annoyance and surprise with a smile, I asked ” what brings you to my office, mother? ”
” have you no single regard for me?” I noticed how her voice shook “You have defiled my orders Logan” she adds.
” And what orders might that be that you couldn’t even care for a seat first? ” I said sweetly.
” I am not here to sit in your damn office or have a conversation with you. I am simply here to tell you my mind! How can you be so disrespectful to your brother and father!? ”
” He isn’t my fucking father, ma! I don’t see why I should give him any regards whatsoever! ” My voice rose as anger sets in.
” He is your father and you will obey him! What about your brother then?! I asked him to bring you home and what did you do?! ”NôvelDrama.Org content.
” I told him and incase he didn’t tell you lemme spell it out for you shall I? I would not be a part of that insane family drama.”
” Family drama? ” Her voice wavered just a little bit.
It was nearly impossible to notice it if I wasn’t the son who noticed every damn thing about his damned mother. She starts crying, tears easily spilling out her eyes. She was always a drama queen. Easy to act and get away with whatever she wanted. But some tears ain’t gonna change my mind. ” How did you become so heartless, Logan? ” She asks, her voice weak.
My chin tightened. From my peripheral view, Dani was still seated silently behind, watching the drama.
” What’s a family union if it isn’t just dramas and acts ma?! And now you all suddenly want me home? Huh, I’m surprised mom. You should’ve been this desperate to keep me the day my father threw me away ” I shot at her.
” You think that I didn’t try, Logan?! ” She said, crying harder. Somehow, the statement I made broke her but I’m not the type to take things back. She deserves everything I have to say. She continues to weep profusely.
” Maybe you should’ve tried harder ” I replied, my voice dried and hoarse.
She nods frantically while speaking again ” I know I should, I know, Logan, but there was just little I could do. When you’re married to a man like your father, you know that there’s only very limited things you can do.”
My father’s words started to reach me again. About how she’d married him because of his money? That’s just what she deserved in return, isn’t it? Getting belittled.
” I’m sorry ma, but I’ve made up my mind ” I told her.
” I don’t care, Logan! You are coming to Italy this weekend and that is final! We have a lot to talk about! ” She said finally before turning around to walk out. She finally spots Dani who quickly bows his head to her. She scans him for a second before hurrying out.
I clenched my teeth, my jaw tightening as a result before landing my eyes on Dani who seemed to watch back with sympathy.
“Maybe you should go, Logan ” Dani spoke shortly after ” maybe this is a good call “
