EARLIER
Three huge men and a short man barged into Miss Claire's office (Lydia's Boss), she flinched on seeing them and stood up immediately.
"How can I help you?" She asked breathing heavily.
"Relax woman, we mean no harm." The short man replied and sat down while the three huge men stood behind him.
"Please sit." The man added and she slowly sat down.
"We mean no harm like I said earlier, we are here to talk business."
"What business? This is a club."
"Yeah, I know it's a club."
"Okay?"
"I will offer you a deal of five hundred million dollars if you or any of your workers can kill a man for me."
"What?"
"Of course I know you won't want to do it yourself so let's do it this way, I will give you ten million dollars and the person who will do the job five hundred million dollars."
"What? Really?" She asked and the man nodded.
"Who... who is the person going to kill?"
"Easy, Logan Griffo."
"What? You mean the same Logan Griffo? The ruthless billionaire?"
"Yes, sure."
"But... but how is it possible? Logan Griffo is impossible to get close to not to talk of touching him to the extent of killing him."
"It's kind of easy though."
"How?"
"No matter how hard a man is, when a woman is close to him, he will starts getting attached to the lady and he will become weak, all we need is a lady to plant in his life."
"Here is my card, give me a call when you are ready."
The man dropped his card and stood up, he smiled before walking out of the office.
Miss Claire sighed repeatedly as she thought of who could do the job well but only a name kept ringing in her head.
"Lydia."

PRESENT
"What are you talking about?" Lydia asked and sat back.
"Am serious Lydia, this pay can save your brother and give you both a better life."
"How much is it?"
"Five hundred."
"Thousand?"
"Million dollars."
"What?" Lydia asked as her eyes widen in shock.
"Yes, am dead serious, that's the pay."
"Well what's the job about? Who do I have to spend the night with?"
"It's not that, it's completely different from that."
"Then what is it?"
"You have to kill someone, Logan Griffo."
"What? I have to kill someone?"
"Yes, Logan Griffo."
"Who doesn't know Logan Griffo? The ruthless billionaire which no one ever goes close to and am suppose to kill him?"
"Yes, but there is a plan already and it's going to go smoothly, I promise you that as long as you agree to it." Miss Clarie said and Lydia remained silent for a while.
"I will do it." She said after thinking for a bit, it wasn't like she wasn't thinking about killing him, all she kept thinking about was the five hundred million dollars, her younger brother, and a new life.
"Good, I will give the person a call, you can go and meet Henry now but be back here tomorrow very early, you have the night off to rest, you deserve it."
"Thank you Miss Claire, thank you so much."
"Anytime dear." She replied and Lydia walked out of the office.
As she head out of the club she kept thinking about all she just discussed with Miss Claire and how it is going to be successful.
She decided to not think about it too much and enjoy the moment with her brother, she bought him pizza, burgers, a bottle of coke and some French fries.
She got to the hospital and walked into his ward, he smiled happily on seeing her and she returned the smile.
"Look what I got you." She said and helped him sit up, she opened the bag and brought everything out.
She was expecting a smile from him and the look of excitement but instead she got a look of sadness.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it? Should I get you something else?"
"Where did you get the money to buy all this from?"
"Wait, is that it?" She asked and sighed in relief.
"It's my money okay? I worked for it."
"And I keep asking you what work? How did you get the money to keep paying for my daily treatment? This hospital is expensive."
"Come on Henry, just eat okay?"
"Am not hungry." He replied and folded his arms before looking away.
"Hey, come on Henry, okay I will tell you the job I'm doing."
"What is it?"
"It's not one though, I work like five times a day and mostly at night, that is why I dont always stay with you at night."
"You still haven't answered my question, what job exactly?"
"I work at a restaurant, bar, hotel, companies and at night in a club as a waitress."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Oh, okay then. Am sorry for putting you through this and being mad at you."
"Of course not, it's fine, you are my responsibility so I should know how to take care of you, now let's eat." She said happily and Henry nodded.
She sat with him on the bed and they both ate to their satisfaction, they were done and Henry smiled.
"I love that smile, looks real."
"Yeah it is, I feel like am getting better." He joked and she laughed.
"I also love that laughter, it's getting late though, aren't you going to work?"
"No, my boss gave me the night off."
"Thank God, you really need it."
"No I don't, all I need to do is work hard."
"But not too much." He replied and lifted his hand slowly and poked her. She smiled and poked him back.
He laughed and placed his head on her shoulder.
"Lydia." Henry called and she smiled.
"Yeah?"
"If there is anything you have to do for money that is dangerous please don't do it? I won't stop feeling guilty if something happens to you."
"Sure, I won't do it."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"It's morning Henry." Lydia said happily as her brother opened his eyes, he smiled and rolled his eyes."Morning." He replied and Lydia helped him sit up."Okay, the nurses will be here to clean you up, I have to go now, i might be back a little bit late today before I get back, is that okay?" "Sure." "Okay, bye." She replied and pecked his forehead before walking out. Lydia head straight to their apartment to freshen up, she got there and took her bath then changed her clothes. She walked out of her house and head to the club, she got there and met it empty, she frowned and brought out her ohone to call her boss (Miss Claire) when she noticed her sitting at with a man. She noticed huge men were all standing around the club then she looked outside and noticed the black cars outside. Miss Claire noticed her presence and waved at her, Lydia smiled and walked to her. She got to where they were and she greeted them, Miss Claire gave her a sign telling her to sit.She sat down the s
"What? Of course not." Lydia laughed nervously and he nodded."Whatever it is, just be good." "Sure." She replied and hugged him.They talked and played with each other till it was time for them to sleep, he slept before her and she watched him for a while before falling asleep.The next day, Lydia told Henry she had to leave and will be back at night, Henry only smiled in response and she walked out. She got home and took her bath, she brought out the box that contains the information of Logan Griffo."Okay, this morning, he is suppose to be heading to his company, all I have to do is get him to notice me." She muttered and walked to her little closet.She was about to pick a slutty wear but stopped."If I really want him to notice me, why don't I make a difference?" She muttered and smiled. She picked a baggy jean and a baggy shirt, she put it on and wore Henry's sneakers. She picked up a face cap and smiled.She looked at the information and went through it."If he doesn't notic
"A dollar?" Logan asked surprised."Yes, I want a dollar." "Okay, give her a dollar." He said to his bodyguard."No, I want it from you, from your personally, like from your pocket." "Sir, we should just teach this rascal some lesson so she won't stalk you anymore." "Who the hell are you calling a rascal?" Lydia yelled and stepped on the bodyguard's foot which made him groan in pain."Here." Logan said and stretched a dollar to her, she giggled happily and collected it."Thank you so much Logan, this one dollar will really do a lot." "If I see you around me again, I might be forced to do what am not suppose to.""Sure, have a nice day Logan." She said and waved, she showed her middle finger to the guards and walked out of the restaurant. "Who was that?" The CEO asked and Logan shrugged."I don't know, probably just a stalker." "Well a stalker can become a threat, you should eliminate her soon." "I will next time I see her, lets get back to what we were saying shall we?" "Oh, r
"It's nothing actually, I fell on my way here." "You really need to be careful, why are you dressed like this?" "Hmm, I just felt like cause I love it." She said and Henry chuckled."I know you are lying but I will let it go cause you don't want to talk about it." "Thanks." She replied and smiled."So Henry, starting from tomorrow I might not be coming to see you everyday." "What? Why?" "I will be busy and I will try to make time to come see you." "Are you abandoning me?" "What? No." "It's fine, I was just teasing you, I know you can't abandon me." Henry said and laughed, she sighed in relief and ruffled his hair."You should sleep after eating, it's necessary.""Sure.THE NEXT DAY "So I have to go now." "Yes, I know.""Wait, why did you not tell any of your high school friends? Aren't they worried?" Lydia asked and he sighed."It doesn't matter if they know or not, none of them cares." "But Stella does." "I broke up with her when I found out I had a brain tumor, I can't w
"So where is my office? What do I need to do? Aren't there any rules cause you have been staring at me ever since you have said am hired.""There are no much rules, just three." "Okay? What are the three rules?" "Number one is that you have to respect me and do anything I say cause it's obvious you don't give a damn about anyone, number two is that you have to be with me all the time until i tell you that you can leave. Number three is that you have to live with me." "What? What? And What?""If you can't do any of it then I can't offer you a job." "But you said am hired already and I can't live with you." "Okay, you will stay anytime I ask you to then, is that better?" "Yeah, how much is my pay?" "Name your price." "Three million dollars?" "Deal." He replied and Lydia smiled happily, she thought about it well and decided that she shouldn't dror depend on the money that she supposed to receive for killing him."So what do I need to do first, am I suppose to just chill and do
"You don't get it right? I have to leave now." "Why?" "It's personal, we both have nothing to do so let me go." "I'm not holding you down but you can't leave yet." "Okay, till when?" "11 pm.""What?" Lydia yelled."Don't yell." "I have somewhere I need to be and it's really important." "I said we are living 11 pm." "But we are not doing anything." "11 pm." She said sternly and she sighed before sitting.********It was finally 11 and Lydia sighed in relief, they both stood up and walked out of the office. "You should get here early tomorrow, if you are late you are going to be punished."Lydia just sighed as her thoughts were clouded with what lie to tell Henry."Do you know how to lie?" She suddenly asked him as they walked out of the company and head towards the car."Lie?" Logan asked."Yes, never mind anyway." She said and walked away, she took a taxi and bought some junk food with the little money left with her.She got to the hospital and walked in, she walked into his
Lydia laughed and held her stomach, Henry glared at her and she tried to stop laughing, she giggled and smiled."Am sorry for laughing, its just really funny." "It's not." "Okay, fine. Am sorry." "Better.""You know what? Tell the nurse you want to take a walk around tomorrow and hopefully you will see her and try talking to her this time, don't chicken out." "Fine, I will try." "Good, now I really need to sleep, am so tired." "What have you been doing? You have never complained that you are tired." "Well, I am now so?" "Fine, get some rest." "What about you?" "Just help me down, am not sleeping yet." "Okay." Lydia replied and helped him down. She smiled at him and sat on the chair.**********THE NEXT DAY Henry sighed repeatedly as he went through the channels, he just wished he had the strength to walk around.He was about to give it a try to walk on his own when a knock sounded at the door.He raised a brow and thought about who it could be. The nurses doesn't knock nei
“You have a meeting now at a restaurant... Wait, why have a meeting at a restaurant when you have a company and an office?”“It's none of your business, who am I having a meeting with?” Logan asked as they both walked into his private elevator. “Mr. Griffo.”“What is the meeting about?”“He wants to make a deal with you, I think about the release of your new product.”“Call him and cancel it.”“What?”“Yes, I have somewhere else I need to be.” “What about me?”“You are coming with me.”“Why are you rejecting the deal?”“Am not rejecting it, am asking you to reschedule it.”“Fine.” They both walked out of the elevator and Lydia made the call to Mr. Griffo’s company about the rescheduling of the meeting.They both got outside and Logan paused before turning to Lydia.“On a second thought, wait here at the company till I get back, you don't have to go with me.” “What? You made me walk down here for nothing?”“Do you have a problem with it?” Logan asked with a stern face and she bowed
