Chapter 34
I couldn’t believe I was face to face with her, the won
woman who was the cause of my pain, the woman who was the reason I agreed to be Logan’s toy years ago, she was to blame for my misery, for what I went through being married to Logan, she was the reason my parents. were no longer with me, so to me, she wasn’t an aust anymore; she was just an evil woman, whom I knew existed.
So I tried to walk past her, but she stopped me,
“Look at you, my god, England sure did change you. She commented, her lips extending into a sanile, Well, thre was the first because even when my parents were still alive, she never hid the fact that she hated me, so I didn’t understand why she was pretending.
Still, I didn’t respond as I wanted to be in any office to calm down, she sine didn’t know the
she gave my handy, she was a monster.
“I’m thinking “She again blocked my way. “Now it seems you have money, perhaps we can do business. I’m sure the information I have is very, very important to you.” She said, making me chuckle.
“I’m not interested.”
“Of course you are; this is about—”
“The next time you try and stop me, Iwill have the security kick you on, and if you try to speak to me, I will report you to the authorities.” I threatened her. I really hated her near me, she brought bad energy.
“Ah, you forget I am your aunt, your mother-
“Don’t you ever speak of my mother, ever! Now..” I didn’t even wait for her to move as I moved her myself and then walked away without turning back.
“You will regret it, I promise!” She yelled, and I didn’t really mind her enough to turn back, as to me it was nonsense.
When I reached my other. I closed the door and rested my head unit as I took in calming breaths. My hands were shaking, and my heart was racing. What that woman did is unforgettable. I endured it for years, and I never reported her to the police. I mean, my parents refused to do so and forbade me to, which I didn’t understand.
Mom always said she was family even though she behaved like a stranger–ol, not a stranger, a witch–because strangers are a little kind, but her? God, sometimes I wondered if she had a soul at all.
“Calm down, Patricia, calm down,” I said to myself as I placed my hand on my chest, calming myself down, I couldn’t lose it; I was at work, and this was my first day; I needed to appear composed.
I was still calming myself when I heard a soft knock on the door. I quickly fixed my hair, and then, clearing my throat, I opened the door, it was Noella
“Mrs. Cooper”
“Come in.” I said as I walked to my seat, fixing my blouse,
“I came to inform you that the changes you made were approved.”
“Wow, really! I mean, that was fast; I thought they would hold a meeting among themselves and discuss it first.” I said, sounding normal, I mean, there were a lot of changes I made, so how could they just be okay with in?
“Yes, everything was approved, now they will be auditioning the actors tomorrow, so your presence is required.”
“Yes, of course,” I said as I sat down and started the computer.
“Alright, I will just add that to your schedule. Mr. Miller also requested to speak to you, he said it was important.”
“Do me a favor; anything regarding Mr. Miller, please refer him to my husband,”
“Thank you. If that will be all, then you can go, I’ll call you if I need anything.”
“Of course, please excuse me.” She said, and I nodded, then watched her leave. As the door closed, I sighed and was going to text Renea and tell her about my aunt; she knew about her, what she made my parents and I go through, and if there was anyone I trusted with such sensitive information, it was her, but just as I got my phone, a knock was heard on the door, making me clear my voice before asking the person to come in.
Chapter 4
Of course, it was Mr. Jack Miller, Logan’s unde.
Now I’ve only seen this man in photos the times I was cleaning at Logan’s mom’s place, Charlotte; well, she was his aunty, but the way he treated her was like a mom. He even called her mom, so it was natural for me to call her that,
Charlotte had so many photos of him, and when she wanted to speak, she told me he was her husband. At that time he was in rehab for I don’t know what, so it surprised me that he was here, although not really, as Logan mentioned him earlier. Noella also told me he was the manager, so I knew he was here to discuss the contract since he wasn’t present at the meeting
“Mr. Jack.” I stood up and held out my hand for a handshake, but he didn’t take it; instead, he came to me, and seeing his arms, I knew he wanted a hug, which was awkward, but again, he was my partner, so not wanting to create any unnecessary conflicts, I accepted the big as he kissed both my cheeks.
You’re even more beautiful in person.
“Thank you, Mr. Jack, I can call you that, right?” I asked as maybe he wanted me to refer to him as Mr. Miller, which would be confusing as Logan was Mr. Miller too.
“Jack for you, please forget all the formalities, and besides, if you refer to me as Mr. Miller, what will you call my nephew then?” He smirked, and I smiled, agreeing
“Jack, it is: please have a seat.”
I
“Thank you.” He said, taking the seat as I also sat down. “So I went through the changes.”
“Wow, my assistant told me, thank you for that as well, but it was very fast. You do know how to use time.”
“The story has potential, we can’t miss it, so anything for our special client.”
“Of course.”
“So we already received so many offers from streaming platforms, but it’s up to you to decide where you want the story to go.” He said, making me nod.
“I will speak to my husband and then get back to you once we arrive at a decision, but I want to make something clear: it’s non- exclusive, and I should have the final say on the edits of the movie.”
“Of course, I believe it was included in the new edits you made. Now I spoke to Mr. Miller, and he offered you fifteen percent.”
“What?” Okay, fifteen percent was high as an author.
“Yes.”
“Wow, that’s generous of him,” 1 said not knowing what to say, as at first my percent was five, which was okay as it wasn’t about the money, so now fifteen, well, I don’t know what game he was playing, but it was not going to work
“It is alright, I will let you work; please call me if you need anything.
“Thank you, Jack,” I said as I also stood up, he shook my hand before he left, and that’s when I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. “God” I almost sat when another knock was heard on the door. “Noella?”
“Sorry to interrupt, but I came to drop this.” She said as she placed documents on the desk, she almost left when I asked what my aunt was doing here, I described her to her. “Ola, she was here to speak to Mr. Miller.”
“Logan“”
“Yes, I heard they stayed over thirty minutes, so whatever she came to discuss with him was important,” Noella said, sending me
into my hourlus
