Don't Let Me Go (Book 1)

Bonus Chapter

LOGAN's POV

Two weeks after school vacated. Everything was going just fine. I had just dropped Maria, off at work. When I got a call from Bianca, saying that father found out something about Maria and for odd reasons, he had gone to Maya's private Mansion. Whatever the fuck he does with Maya in that Mansion. I don't give a shit. I just needed to know why he didn't stop investigating Maria like I told him.

I stormed into the house while being held back by Abigail. I have no interest in what she has to say.

'' Young Master, you shouldn't be here. This place is restricted'' She tries blocking my way

'' Get the fuck away from me,'' I stormed into the seating room '' Where is he... where is that man''

'' Young Master'' Abigail stands in front of me. And I frowned. I was just about to push her out of the way when

''aaarrr'' I heard a scream of pain, followed by broken glass '' aaaarrrrrrrr'' the scream grew louder. It can't be what I am thinking, can it? That has to be Maya, what is happening to her?

'' what is going on?'' I looked at Abigail, who had now turned pale. She looks down, silent.

'' arrr... '' it came out more like cry this time

'' shit'' I run, following the direction of where it was coming from. It led me to the pool room and there they were. There he was, my father, He had Maya lying on the floor while he forced her head into the water, drowning her. She struggled with his hand for release and screamed whenever she got the chance.

'' I have warned you not to play with me'' he spoke in a rage

'' Fuck'' I yelled, calling their attention to me. Immediately, Maya used the opportunity to break free from him while my father watched me shocked '' What the fuck are you doing'' I hurried to Maya who was fighting for her breath. Body wet. I noticed the broken wine bottle on the ground.

'' Logan...you...you shouldn't be here'' she cried weakly. She reached for me, holding my shirt and I saw it, bruises all over, both old and new. Maya is always on a long sleeve and never ties her hair. I never thought too much of it until now. She was covering it up. He hurts her and she covers it up. But...but why

'' What are you doing here Logan?'' Father snapped. I looked in his direction trying to hold back the mixed feeling I was having right now.

'' what am I doing? What the fuck are you doing''

'' she needs to be taught a lesson. You break whatever is out of control''

'' what the fuck'' I got up in anger

'' No Logan...'' she caught my leg '' Please go home, please'' What the fuck is wrong with her. Is this what she has been going through?

'' I got to find out that this bitch, employed that piece of shit in my house and got her a new job quickly so I wouldn't know'' it's because of me. She is getting hit right now because of me. '' do you know what else I found out Logan...'' he stepped forward '' what else I found out about your innocent girlfriend ha... fucking evidence'' he lets out

'' what?'' now I am totally lost with what is going on here '' what evidence?''

'' A document of the incident and not just the incident, many things that have been buried in the past. I found everything, everything about the company, in a flash in her house Logan'' he yelled. ''Your fucking innocent girlfriend has been playing you, waiting for the right time to ambush. She wants to use you to ruin us!!!!'' He lets out his frustration ''all I have worked for, all I have sacrificed''

'' no'' it can't be. There has to be some logical explanation. It can't be possible, Maria knows everything? How? When? I flashed back to that day

Flashback

'' Have you ever discovered something so shocking that it made you think back your entire existence''

'' I have''

'' Really... What was it?''

'' mmm... it's a secrete, a secrete that I would have to die with''

'' It must be very dark''

'' Yeah, yeah it is... But why the sudden question''

'' no reason... I read a book that's why''

'' I see...''

END OF FLASHBACK

'' Maria would not....'' he cuts me off as I tried to defend

'' shut the fuck up'' he raised his hand to hit me, suddenly Maya gets in the way, taking me by surprise

'' No, no, no please'' she cried, robbing her hands and pleading '' Don't hurt him. I have pleaded with you not to lay your hands on them, that is why you have me, please, hit me instead' What? What did Maya just say?

'' Get out of my way woman'' He pushed her out of the way and she rolled and landed on the broken bottles. At that moment My anger got the best of me and I let it out. My fist came in contact with his face so hard that my knuckle cracked. He fell into the pool and passed out. This is fucked up shit.

**********

In the hospital with Bianca. We both waited for Maya to get checked. Bianca seats next to me on the bench, waiting for me to explain what happened but I couldn't speak. I couldn't bring myself to speak. What am I going to tell her? Where do I start?

''All this is not making sense Logan'' She broke the silence '' How come father has been abusing Maya? Why didn't she say anything?''

'' to protect us'' I forced myself to say, I would tell her everything eventually and when I say everything, I mean every single thing, including the company's secrets. That is the only way she could understand. But telling her everything is going to be a very big risk, If Bianca knows then she as well be in danger.

'' it's not making sense'' she looks away from me and leans back in frustration at the fact that I wasn't explaining things to her.

'' She...'' I rested my back as well. '' It turns out that, Father abuses Maya as well and Maya let him because she wanted to protect us.''

'' it is still not clear Logan''

'' When Maya married father, she offered herself to him to do whatever so he wouldn't hurt us. She said she made a promise to her mother on her deathbed. That she would protect us from him and make sure we never get hurt by him'' my heart ached when I remembered what Maya told me on our way to the hospital.

'' So... aa'' Bianca lets out weakly. I turn my head to look at her. She was lost in her thoughts. From the corner of her eyes, I noticed a mixture of pain and confusion

'' So she...''

'' She never knew father was abusive to us and all those times she spent at her private mansion. Was because of him''

'' Aaaa'' I turn away from Bianca to gaze at the wall opposite us '' I feel like shit'' Bianca whispered and we fell into silence. While she felt like shit, I didn't know what I was feeling. Just when Life has gotten exciting, now this.

'' I don't know what I feel Bianca''

'' What about Maria, what did father...''

'' Maria....'' pain in my heart '' Maria has become a threat to the company''

'' What do you mean?'' She Leans forward, fully alert. '' what did she do?''

'' Maria... knows what she shouldn't I don't know how she got to know and why she hasn't done anything about it. Father believe she is waiting for the right time to act and...''

'' wait, wait, wait'' she got up, cutting me off '' What are we talking about here? what does she know?...'' I knew it would get to this.

'' Bianca,'' I stood up '' Let's make sure Maya is alright we will talk on the way.'' Bianca, obviously wasn't satisfied with my responses, she needed answers and I only delayed them.
