Don't Let Me Go (Book 1)

Chapter 53

Friends.. he said. Can Logan and I really be friends? Can a nobody be friends with a king? A dream, an impossible dream and even if possible, ends tragically. Why friends? Just few months ago Logan hated the sight of me and all of a sudden he wanted to be friends, he would rather be friends than get his money back. I would pay him the money no matter what, even if it takes me a lifetime. Friendship with him will give me time to raise the money.

'' Maria!!'' I heard Bianca's voice from behind me as I walked the hallway. I turned around to see her running towards me with her lips curved up in a smile.

'' Hey'' sending back a smile. She stops in front of me '' I didn't see you in any of the classes today''

'' well'' she shrugs, turned around and began walking while I followed '' Have you seen Logan?'' Curiosity in her tone and I nodded in response'' What did you to talk about?''

'' You know... I just thanked him again and we came to a truce''

'' A truces?'' stunned by my words

'' Yeah,'' I responded with a slight nod.

'' I thought that would never come to pass'' I could smell the joy in her tone. '' Finally, I am at peace''

'' were you in crises before?''I turn to face her while walking backwards

'' A little bit'' I rolled my eyes at her words

'' you are not serious'' and she giggled

**********

I Walked into the mason and headed straight for the kitchen where I ran into

Ava had just returned from the market with Natalie. '' Oh heavens, Maria'' Natalie hurries to my side, pulling me unannounced into a hug '' You are back''

'' Yeah...'' I honestly didn't know how to respond as I wasn't expecting it. She pulled away after a while

'' how are you?'' with both hands on my shoulder, I smiled at her and gave a nod of assurance

'' I have missed you Maria'' Ava interrupts calmly '' How is your mother?''

'' Good, strong'' forcing a believable smile

'' It's good to have you back'' Ava appeared relaxed but her eyes showed how much she worried about me. It's nice to be around people who care about you other than family.

'' It's good to be back'' I agreed '' What about Abigail?''

'' I don't know. I should be at the bar'' Natalie said

'' I see... I should get to work, there is a lot that has to be done'' I walked away to the changing room. Got changed and busted to work.

Cleaning one room to the other. I quickly cleaned Logan and Bianca's room as they weren't in. I guess they stopped by somewhere to chill, I made my way to the Library to clean. Their beautiful library is one of my favourite places in the mansion. When I leave this job, the library would surely be the top thing I would miss in the mansion.

I entered the library with the vacuum and rag, I walked in between shelves and set my equipment down to begin work only to realize that the library wasn't empty, I had thought it was at first until I heard the sound of a woman's sob. Still wondering who would be crying in the library, I then heard '' So you are not going to tell me?'' a voice so deep and aggressive not to exclude that it was very familiar '' You have gotten very bold Maya'' What the fuck? It hit me the moment I heard the name. Logan's father and he seemed to be scolding Maya. Fuck. Why do I always get wrapped up in situations like this? Why didn't anyone warn me that he was home and I shouldn't just walk around freely?
