CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Maya yawned as she rose up her head and also opened her eyes. She felt a really stinging pain in her neck, she cringed as she rubbed her neck... She looked around and realised that she was still in Logan's office.

" Well done Maya " she whispered to herself as she noticed she had kept her word on staying there. She looked up and saw Logan standing about some meters away in front of her going through a book he got from the shelf. She noticed that he was really engrossed with it. She managed to get up even as she felt the cramp in her legs and the cringing pain in her leg. She kept rubbing her neck as she walked up to him. She stood beside him.

" I'm sure by now you must have changed your mind." she told him with all assurance as she kept rubbing the back of her neck . He ignored her and walked away into another shelf and she followed him.

" You can really make this easy Logan by just saying the word 'release her building'. That's really all you have to say. " she told him as she now stood in front of him. He ignored her again and walked up to another shelf where he picked up another book and kept the other one.

" Really Logan you dont want to release my work place? You know this can go on and go on. I dont mind the pain, I will just bite it through just to frustrate you as long as you refused to release my workplace. I will continue to stick around you like super glue and I know you will definitely not like that, right? " she told him and immediately he shut the book with a thud. She finally saw the flames and the anger surrounding him. He slowly looked up to her and she could have sworn she literally saw fire. It was a clear evidence that he was angry. Most people will throw tantrums when they're angry but not Logan Jack. He was the only man she has seen that has soo much anger in him and yet he still manages to remain cool.

" Are you done? " he said but literally picking the words one after the other which surprised her. That was definitely not the reply she was looking forward to. Logan walked away back to his table, he stood there sorting some papers in his hands.

" Normally a person would say yes and walk out defeated but not me... " she said as she walked up to him. " Not me Maya... I might have a petite size and look so vulnerable but am quite tough. I don't give up on anything and I will make sure you release my work place... why are you so heartless anyway? did you lose your very loved girlfriend in some accident or is it your parents? Is it that your dad never loved you? or did your parents abandon you? or maybe your mother ran away..."

" SHUT UP! " he yelled suddenly which startled her. Her heart almost leapt out of her chest. She took a look at him and noticed he was really angry. His eyes were definitely cold filled with anger. He folded his fist.

" Did I say anything wrong?... No I must have definitely touched a hotspot. " she said to herself.

Logan still folded his fist with fury in his eyes as he flashed back again to when he was little.

" Mummy, mummy please don't go.. mummy...." Logan as little as he was who clenched on to his toy wept as he stood close to his bed. His mum ignored him and kept packing her clothes into her box on the bed. His father stood at the door with folded arms watching her.

" Mummy, mummy please don't leave me " he wept as he took hold of his mother's hand.

" Logan leave me alone! I have to go now, so be a good boy and behave. " His mum told him as she took his little hand away from hers.

" Why are you still wasting time, hurry up and go to your damned lover! " his father told her angrily.

" Of course I'll leave. I'm never going to waste a single minute in this cursed house!" his mum told his dad as she zipped up her bag and carried it down off the bed.

" Mummy, mummy please don't go... " the little Logan cried as he went after his mum.

" Come back her Logan " his father ordered him as he took hold of his arm. His mum went on without looking back and down the stairs.

" Mummy....... " he wept. " Stop it! I said stop crying! " his father ordered him as he took hold of his arm but little Logan couldn't stop crying. He kept crying and calling out to his mum " You want to disobey me, huh? " his father asked him angrily.

" Come here you little brat... " his father dragged him along with him. He opened one of the doors and dragged him into a dark room. " This is where you will stay until you stop crying and behave! " his father yelled at him before quickly walking out and shut the door. He locked the door with the key.

" Nobody will open this door or else I say so! " he ordered the servants who stood around waiting before he stormed away angrily.

" Daddy, daddy, open the door... I don't want to stay here. It is scary...Daddy... " he wept as he knocked on the door.

*******

" SHUT UP! " Logan yelled at her angrily again after having that flash back. That was part of him he never wanted to remember again. He hated his past and he hated his life. She has broken the last straw on the camels back. He walked up to her while trying to control his urge to hit her.

" If she was a man, I would have taught her the lesson of her life " he said to himself with a cold harsh voice.

Maya's heart suddenly began to beat faster as if that was her doom as he took scary steps forward.

" Shut your mouth! I am warning you Maya... don't push me to limits... don't turn me into a monster that you won't like! " he said angrily but calmly between his teeth. She swallowed hard, she can't show fear now. The beginning of his domination over her.

" A monster that I won't like? Take a very good look at yourself Logan... take a look at your life, you're already a monster... what normal human being will do the things you do. For more wealth and power, you married a woman you absolutely know nothing about, you mistreat people, what of if I was a murderer or even worst a serial killer then what will become of you? you don't care about anyone's feeling and you do whatsoever you feel like doing... you're a monster Logan " she told him before she walked past him and left the office.

" Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! " she exclaimed as she rested on a wall with her hands on her chest to calm her beating heart. She was literally scared out of her wits.

" I can't just believe I spoke to Logan Jack like that and he didn't say anything... No reply, no threats, no beating... just a blank expression... what's that supposed to mean, was I too harsh on calling him a monster, but that is how he behaves, he started this first. All he had to do was release my workplace... there's something definitely up about his eyes. " she spoke to herself in a whisper. She decided to take a look at him, she gently opened the door and to her surprise, she saw him sitting on the sofa with his head in his hands. He looked miserable. Her heart started to beat faster than usual and the weird thing was that she wasn't scared anymore so she wondered why it was beating that way.
