She yelled."Stop shouting" I replied calmly."I should stop shouting?!?!!""Is that what you have to say!!""Once again I could have lost my son!!" She screamed."That's enough " I repeated calmly but she just went on and on ranting."I said that's enough!!" I growled immediately and she kept quiet at once as she looked up at me slowly.Immediately the door opened and Brett walked in."Son!" She called at once and rushed to him.Immediately she got to him she pulled him into a tight hug."Why did you hide this from me ?!" She asked as she looked at his face all over."See all these bruises, you need to go to the hospital" she rushed."I'm fine Mom" he finally said as the disengaged."Are you sure?!""Yes Mom, I'm fine," he said "I'm sorry uncle" Brett f
Logan's POVWednesday 1st of October 2021Evening 5:00 pm...Day of grand reopening..."Hurry up guys" I urged as I walked around the kitchen to inspect the workers.I had already prepared all the meals, they were just arranging them in a dishing tray and carrying it out to the serving corner."How's it going Jeremy," Camilla asked as she walked into the kitchen."Perfect!, We're done already" "Just taking them out" I added and she smiled."Good job, Good job," she said."Take this," she said as she held out the cloth she was holding to me."You're the head chef here, you should look presentable," she said and my lips stretched in a small smile."Thank you""Alright, alright go on and change" she hurried."I'll take care of things here""You can use the staff quarters, I'll suggest a shower," she said with a small smile. I nodded and walked away.A few moments later...I adjusted the cap on my head and walked into the kitchen.The kitchen was empty, they probably all went out to the
Ariana's POV"Dad did you hesitate or have doubts before handing over this place to me?!""What are you talking about ?!"" Where did you get that idea from?" he replied immediately, although I noticed he tried as much as possible not to stutter."It's nothing, " I replied, my gaze on the floor.He raised his hands to my chin and tilted my face to look up at him."You're my daughter Ariana" "And I love you""I see your efforts and I'm saying it again I'm proud of you" "Really Dad?!" I said looking deeply into his eyes and searching for any trace of insincerity and he seemed to have none."I did not have any doubt handing over this place to you" he added and I smiled.I pulled him into a hug and I placed my head on his chest."I love you too Daddy," I said."Hugging without me?!" I heard Mom say, I let go of dad and turned to see her standing behind us."Mom" I called happily and turned to her."Aww, my precious little girl," she said cupping my cheeks in her hands."You did very wel
Logan's POVNext day...Thursday 3:00 pm..."Alright Fish in lemon and chilly sauce" I called out to one of the kitchen staff immediately after I was done preparing it."Yes, boss," one person said and came to carry it out.I moved on to the next immediately."Hurry hurry guys," I said to the other junior chefs."Let me have a look at that," I said to one of them, I picked up a spoon and tasted what he was doing."Are you sure you followed the recipe I gave?!""Yes sir""Then why aren't I getting the taste I want?!""Please dispose this off and do it again""Correctly this time okay?! And quickly please!""Yes sir" he replied and got to work immediately as I moved on to the next.Today has been quite stressful, actually since yesterday the resort has been quite busy.Right now we're preparing what's meant to be on the menu today.Recently they got a new chef - Oliver and he has been assisting.He'll be in charge of this place full-time and live at the resort just like the other staff.
Logan's POVI'm gonna find out who you are today Brett!!.I reversed and turned onto the road, I drove at a safe distance from him.I slowed down my pace and followed him making sure he didn't notice I was following.This guy! I knew it! He was just too suspicious to be innocent.The connection with David Bennett, his Mom, himself, and Ariana, can all not mean anything.Come what may today, I'm gonna find out who exactly this guy is!Suddenly his car stopped. "Are we there yet?!'' I looked around. We've been driving for so long. Is this where they usually meet?! In the middle of nowhere?!.I parked my car a little bit away and watched carefully for what's gonna happen next.I saw him come down from his car and walked towards my car. What is he doing?!.Immediately he got to my car, knocked on the window, and signaled that I come out.Gosh!, I give it to him though, he must be really smart to realize I was following him."Why the hell are you following me Man?" he said immediately as I
Logan's POV"Ariana, What's going on," I asked, walking briskly behind her."Get your keys and get me out of here!!""Ana, what are...""I said get your keys and get me the fuck out of here" she yelled crying."Yeah yeah right," I said and rushed back into the house.I picked up my car keys and made it to go out back."Please keep her safe" I heard her mom say and I turned to look at her, she looked sad also.I nodded with a small bow."Yes ma" I replied and rushed out.When I got outside, she was leaning on the car with her head in her hands."Sorry" I whispered and she moved away, I opened the back seat and she got in and slammed the door.I turned around quickly and got in also. I quickly ignited the car and reversed out of the compound."Ana, where are we headed?" I asked quietly, looking at her through the rear mirror."Take this road and just keep on going" she replied quietly and sniffed.I looked at her again, so I'm to just keep going?!, Going nowhere?!.These rich kids!I ju
Logan's POVHer hands tightened around my waist as she pressed her head on my chest and kept on sobbing.I felt her hands twitch behind me, I heard her teeth chatter, she was cold we've been standing in the rain for quite some time, coupled with the fact that she has been crying.Her tears began to subside and she looked up at me."Can we go home now?!" She asked quietly."I'm afraid not, the car is not coming on," I said. "Come on," I said to her as I held her hands and pulled her towards an uncompleted building.I let go of her hands immediately, we walked in, and she wrapped her hands around herself as she stood shivering in a corner."Sit here," I said to her and helped her seat on the floor.I looked around for dry wood and gathered them. I placed them in front of her."I'll be right back," I said and took a quick run to the car to get lighter.I went back in and lit the wood, it began to burn.I stood back and watched it, suddenly the sky lightened followed immediately by a de
Logan's POVNext morning Friday 7:00 am...My eyes fluttered open and I tried to stir and sit upright but I couldn't.I looked down at my body and realized we slept off cuddling each other.Ariana's arms were wrapped around me and her head was on my chest.My left hand was also wrapped behind her.I looked down at her face, her lips were slightly parted, and color already began to return to her face gradually."You do look like an angel when you're asleep huh" I whispered and she stirred.I watched as her eyes opened slowly and she looked up at me."Good Morning" she greeted with a smile.I slowly raised my right hand to my nose."Oh my God, you're not nice huh," she said as she let go of me and sat up straight."I don't have morning breaths," she said trying to smell her breath and I laughed."I'm just teasing you," I said to her."Did you sleep well" "No" she replied."We sat all through the night, I'm not used to that" she replied.I stood up and stretched my hands out to her."Y
