Chapter 2

  • "They are here boss." A guard said and bowed in front of him, he turned to them and the criminals gasped when they saw him.
  • He ignored them and puffed out smoke from his mouth and nose repeatedly.
  • "Please sir, we are sorry. We really are sorry, we had no idea the goods were yours, if we had known we wouldn't have touched it, please spare our lives." One of them said and the others cried along, they are four in number and there was no assurance that one of them is going to leave there freely.
  • The boss turned a guard and dropped the weed in his hands.
  • "Execute." He ordered and they shot them immediately, he walked past them and walked out of the warehouse.
  • Logan Griffo is a popular young man who is well known over the country for his multiple companies, products, cars, and estates.
  • Logan is a twenty-five years old handsome man who lives a very secretive life. As famous as he is no one knows about his private life, all they know is that his name is Logan Griffo and he is one of the richest men in New York and some countries.
  • Logan is secretly a drug lord, not like if it is well known to the world that he is a drug lord he will be arrested. He has connections all over the police forces and no one dares cross his path.
  • All the public knows is that he is a ruthless billionaire but in secret he is a drug lord, an assassin and almost a king over Russian lords.
  • "Boss, we are tracking the ship transporting the goods, it's about to get here." His guard 'Max' said. Rumor spread that Max is his favorite guard but he doesn't show it nor did he say it.
  • "I don't need that ship anymore, it's useless." He replied and walked into his car.
  • "Max." He called and Max bowed.
  • "You guys can have the ship."
  • "Thank you, thank you so much boss."
  • Logan ignored them and his chauffeur didn't need to be told it was time for him to start driving which he did immediately.

  • Lydia walked back into Henry's ward with a smile so he wouldn't get troubled or worried something is wrong with her, she sat on his bed happily and put her hand around his shoulder.
  • "So Henry, when you get out of here, where do you want to start from?"
  • "I... I will love to go to college and graduate then get a job and take care of you."
  • "Awwn, that so sweet."
  • "And I will buy you a house and a car."
  • "Thanks, I can't wait."
  • "What did the doctor say?"
  • "Oh, he said that you are getting better and all I need to do is just get the money for the surgery early so things won't get worse." She said and blinked repeatedly.
  • "You are lying Lydia."
  • "What?"
  • "Yes, when you lie, you blink rapidly."
  • "Oh, no I don't." She lied and blinked.
  • "You just did it again."
  • "Okay, fine."
  • "So what did the doctor say?"
  • "You don't have to worry about it... "
  • "Just say it."
  • "He... he said that you are getting worse by the day and you have just a few months left before you die if you don't do the surgery."
  • "But don't worry, I am working hard every day and so far I have saved over fifty thousand dollars, it will be ready in no time."
  • "Lydia."
  • "What?"
  • "What kind of a job are you doing that made you save over fifty thousand dollars in some months, Lydia what are you doing?"
  • "Calm down Henry."
  • "What are you doing Lydia? Are you stealing? Are you stealing to save me?"
  • "Of course not, am not, please calm down. The doctor said you shouldn't stress yourself."
  • "What job are you doing?"
  • "Look, Henry, it doesn't matter, just wait till I get the money."
  • "I don't want you doing anything that you don't like just to save me, it's better if I die and... "
  • "No, of course not, you won't die."
  • "I will save you and we will both be happy okay?"
  • Henry nodded and she hugged him tightly.
  • "I know you are doing a bad job but I will let it go because I don't want you crying on me." Henry joked and they both laughed. Lydia brought out her phone from her bag and looked at the time.
  • "I have to go now but I will be back later."
  • "When?"
  • "Just give me an hour or two."
  • "Okay."
  • "What should I get you on my way back?"
  • "Anything you can afford."
  • "Okay, bye." She hugged him and carried her bag, she walked out of the ward and head out of the hospital.
  • She took a taxi to the small apartment they had and walked in, she took her bath and got dressed in fresh clothes, she didn't need to pick anything for Henry again cause his bags are in the hospital already.
  • Her phone suddenly rang and she sighed seeing it was her boss. She picked it up and placed the phone on speaker as she put on her shoes.
  • "Hello Lydia."
  • "Hey boss."
  • "How are you doing?'"
  • "Am fine, what's up?"
  • "Nothing much, just come to the hotel."
  • "But I was just heading to Henry's place."
  • "This is important, get here."
  • "Okay then, am on my way." She replied and ended the call, she picked up a smaller bag and walked out of the house.
  • The club wasn't far from her house so she decided to take a walk.
  • She finally got to the club and walked in, she walked to her boss's office and entered.
  • "Lydia." She called with a smile on seeing her.
  • "Hey." Lydia replied with a smile and sat down.
  • "You called me and said it is important, what's up? Is everything okay?"
  • "Of course everything is fine, in fact everything is great." She replied happily and Lydia raised a brow.
  • "I have a job for you."
  • "Ugh, I knew it, not interested." Lydia replied and stood up.
  • "Wait, this one job can save your brother and change your lives for good." She said and Lydia froze.
