The Old Madam's eyes brightened at her words and she sense confusion in them.
"Forget it grandma I was only teasing you"she said and she let out a nervous laugh.
"Thank you for tonight child. I don't know how you knew but thank you"the Old Madam said and she smiled lightly at her words.
"Grandma you should go and rest, a few bodyguards are on their way to guard your room and this villa" Logan said and grandma had a pout.
"I already have enough why do I need more"she was not liking the idea of being over protected.
"Because I fired them" he said simply and our eyes widened at the same time.
"You what! Why?"grandma asked in shock at her grandson's suddenly decision.
"They are clearly incompetent. They couldn't even sense the danger I'm bringing a new set of 50 manage the 30 with you tonight"he told her despite her frown that showed she strongly opposed to that idea.
"Well it's nice to see grandma is now fine. I have to get home" Evelyn broke the family discussion as she knows that an heavy rain fall will occur.
"No, you have to stay you've been a blessing. Please stay for the night" grandma pleaded not wanting to let her go.
"At least let me reward you. I'll give it to you tomorrow please stay"she said but Evelyn shook her head.
She couldn't stay in Logan's grandmother's house, she wasn't his fiancée and it's wrong.
"I haven't been staying home in a while so please release me and I promise to come back soon" Evelyn said sincerely and although the Old Woman's heart was heavy she reluctantly let her leave.
"If you insist go, heavens bless you for me"she said and Evelyn smiled in response tears welling up in her eyes as she felt a family love she hadn't felt in a while.
"Logan go and drop her off and remember to bring Clara for dinner I want to discuss with her" he Old Woman said. She was having a change of mind on her daughter in-law and wanted to convey this to the two of them.
"Grandma it's fine First Master doesn't need to. The hospital is not the same route as my house and First Master still has to go accompany Miss Clara. I can get home myself, goodnight grandma and take good care of yourself"she said before any of them could refuse.
Evelyn dashed out of the house promising herself not to come back unless it is important. It wasn't her house, she wasn't her in-law so she had no need to go and come.
She was halfway to the gate when the rain began to pour down. Evelyn cursed inwardly, thankful she wore a waterproof bandage.
Not that it's a big deal to go home but she didn't want to stay in the hospital with Clara nor at The Old Madame as it was not socially acceptable to her.
She had reached the gate when she heard a loud horn. It was Logan in an Audi R8. He pulled over beside her and walked over to her with an umbrella.
"You're a fool do you want to catch a cold?"he scolded her as he removed his suit placing it on her to prevent her from being cold.
"If you insist on going home I'll drop you"he said but she refused to move.
"You don't need to, I'll get a cab"she said not wanting to intrude, not just yet.
"It wasn't a request Evelyn get in or I'll move you" he said in an authoritative voice that left no room for further arguement.
Evelyn reluctantly got into the car and did her seatbelt while Logan began to drive.
Her eyes started to his hands that was visible to her as he had rolled up his sleeves. Each turn he made, his muscles seemed to be flexed, never had she seen hands as manly yet beautiful as the one before her. It showed how wealth can transform you.
"How did you know something was going to happen to grandma" he asked her and she suddenly swallowed nervously thinking about a lie she could come up with.
She couldn't say 'funny story, so you see I've died before and I got reborn. U still possess knowledge of my past life so I know' although that sounded hilarious in her ears she wasn't planning on telling anyone. She would take it to her grave.
"A hunch"she said with a shrug unbothered about his reaction.
"Hunch? You have quite an accurate hunch?"he seemed to be mocking her for her poor lying skills. He would have proved further but it was obvious she didn't want to go on so stopped asking. One day he would find out about her secrets.
The car ride was quiet, with only the sound of the rain making the noise.
Evelyn closed her eyes sleepily when the car swerved sharply.
Her eyes opened in an instant to hear faint bullet sounds and Logan tensed expression as he served, turned and slid on the slippery floors. If care wasn't taken the car would spin out of control and crash.
The bullets seemed to be meeting her sides which showed that they were after her not Logan.
Evelyn racked her brain to see which of her known enemies was brave enough to actually send someone to kill her and no matter how hard she tried, it was always Clara's image that came to her mind.
'That bitch!' Evelyn exclaimed inwardly as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Logan they're after me not you. Just find a way to drop me off. I'll escape" she said even though she knew she was lying.
"Shut up your pretty little mouth and let me handle this" he said in a hard voice as he pulled out his own pistol and began to shoot with accurate precision.
"Lower your seat, you won't get shit by then"he told her and she did as she was told.
Evelyn couldn't see what was going on but she could feel things wasn't right and they seemed to be struggling to stay in the right lane and not swerve to a truck's
lane.
It was soon minutes and she decided not to be useless. Looking around she caught a sight of another pistol. She would explain to Logan later how she could shoot but right now, let's kill some mf's.
She removed the safety cork and she went to the backseat. Taking a perfect aim, she shot the driver in the forehead but what she didn't expect was that the enemy had a 9mm bullet.
The first shot hit the chair and a gasp let out from her throat.
"Logan can you swim?"she asked panic etched in her voice and he replied with a hmmm.
"Crash us into a river, we're going to swim to the other end"she said and he dashed her a crazy look but soon understood her plan.
He increased his speed and a river came into view.
"In five weeks dive in. 5...... 4....... 3....... 2....... 1....... 0"and the car dove into the river sinking.
Shots were fired into the river but did not reach them.
Evelyn gritted her teeth, the around had been opened and a bullet had grazed her shoulder but she didn't dare make a sound.
There was a life jacket in the car and after getting out safely they swam to the shore.
Evelyn was losing breath but she made it, through gritted teeth,a battered body and a biting cold.
As Logan helped her up, she took in a sharp breath at the pain in her shoulder. As she was about to rest, her eyes caught sight of a red dot on Logan's head and she immediately covered him without thinking twice.
The bullet went straight through her, and her face turned white like a sheet of a blank A4 paper.
"Evelyn! Evelyn!" he frantically shouted her name but the latter had passed out from loss of blood.
She bled from her wound, the graze on her shoulder and now the shot.
"Sawyer I was ambushed by two types of killer. One was after Evelyn and the other me. They got her! Get help"she shouted into his phone immediately Sawyer picked sup his phone.
Help seemed far away to Logan but they finally came. An ambulance came, put her in a stretcher and gave her an oxygen mask immediately.
He rushed into the hospital right behind her but was stopped as she was wheeled into the operating room.
The last image he had of her was her blue eyes closed and her lively face pale. 'She can't die, she just can't!' he chanted in his head as he watched the red operation light.
He sat for hours before the doctor came out. "Master Logan the young lady's case is not optimistic, she might not make it" the chief doctor told him and his body turned cold.
"If she dies, I'll make sure to bury you and your entire family with her. I'll kill you for everything you're worth. Get Ezekiel for me!"he shouted in a cold voice storming out of the room.
"Why is Master Logan like that?"the doctor was frightened.
"You're doing well Doctor Allen but his woman must not encounter any trouble" Sawyer told him and he froze his fear.
He was just operating on Logan's woman. If she dies, he would die along with her.
Ezekiel came looking distraught followed by Cole. He walked into the operating room and took over while Cole accompanied Logan in an unbearable silence and coldness.
Clara on the other hand was angry to learn the kidnappers failed but soon became happy when she heard that Evelyn was being operated on by Logan.
But hearing Logan's shout across the hallway made her disheartened and prayed that she died.
She had contacted Logan to no avail Sawyer too was ignoring her calls but now she knew why, that bitch Evelyn wouldn't just die.
"This is just the beginning Evelyn"she muttered to herself with a crazy expression.Author's Note:-
