Nanny Affair

Chapter 27

(Third person POV)

Mr. Roger had been brooding in his office for days on end, he didn't speak to anyone who spoke to him and only made small conversation with his wife which were mainly about criticizing his son. He had made calls to Colette's family to ease things up and had called his other son back home
If Logan wasn't going to play by the rules then he might as well as leave the Smiths

He looked around his office again, deep in thought. Everything he had built was going down in ashes, his reputation was on the line. He was not willing to have another press drama with Logan again. He did too much and lost bucks trying to make the story die down and Logan was about to take him down the same road

"Roger," his wife walks in still in her night gown
Even in her late fifties, she was still a gem. Her long blonde hair was still intact although shorter compared to her younger days. Her brown eyes spoke volumes even without her saying a word, which her son Logan and daughter Olivia had gotten from her. She had wrinkles at the edge of her eyes with eye bags making her look tired and she was. Her smile had faded ever since Logan broke the news and although she wanted to call her son and reassure him she couldn't do it when her husband was hell bent on making his son a puppet. She walks towards the man who was looking at her and placed her slender hands on his shoulder attempting to ease the man

"I don't wanna hear it," The older man speaks sternly knowing exactly what his wife was about to say

"You can't keep controlling your son like this, Logan is man enough. He can choose whoever he wants to get married to. He has a daughter for God sake Roger!!" She says ignoring his words. Tears were already welling in her eyes when the image of her broken son filling her mind. She had already witnessed her son going through the same thing with her seated and quiet but she couldn't do that anymore

"I am not controlling him. He's already happy with himself and our granddaughter is an angel. But he can't just do whatever he wants and sabotage our connections for a maid!!" His voice was deep and angry. His wife was tired of hearing the same thing every time. She was so angry she didn't notice pressing on her husband's shoulders harder

"Then you're on your own," Roger didn't react to his wife's action on his shoulder or words. If they all wanted to go against him then so be it but he wasn't gonna tarnish his name just for some stupid low life

"Get out of my office!!" He says harshly making the woman behind him flinch. She was holding her tears back from the man who had treated her like she wasn't human, no he didn't put hands on her but he never showed her any affection. To him, she was just another arrangements between their families and even after bearing him three wonderful children he was still the same

"You don't have to tell me twice," she says leaving his side and walking towards the door. Her mood even worse than before she'd walked in
"But just know that all this is gonna end badly and not for your son. Have a wonderful morning, Mr. Roger," she says his name bitter coming out of her mouth. She could feel more tears welling down her cheeks and when she got to the kitchen she couldn't hold back

She envied her son so much for finding what she never could and she was gonna fight for him in all ways possible. She cried for herself and her son. She felt the guilt she'd felt years ago flow back, the sadness she'd felt and then all of a sudden the shame that she had watched her son break down in front of her and she'd done nothing. She couldn't stop and she had to do something about it. She wanted to do one thing for her son and although it wouldn't make up for all the other times atleast it was a start. She made her way to the large bedroom that she had spent most nights alone and picked up her phone dialing her son
.....

Logan listened to his mother speak, he could tell she was crying from how sluggish her voice was and how she took deep breaths every time he called her name. She told him how much she was sorry and how much she wanted to make things right

"Am leaving your father," she finally says through her tears and Logan didn't react. He didn't care about them anymore, it had been years of watching his mother cower under his father and after he was out of the house all he could think of was why his mother never left him and after a while he just stopped worrying and just lived on his own.

"That's great Ma, but why the hell are you telling me this?" He knew he was being harsh with her but he couldn't help. He had pent up anger in him, all the times he had looked at her when he was being scolded for absolutely no reason and the times his mother had listened as Roger talked about his late wife Anna and how she was gonna ruin his wife. She had been watching all of that and she didn't say a word. She sat and listened to giving him any support when he needed it, Olivia was younger than him but she managed to be there for him

"Logan, I know I can't make up...

"Listen mum, if you're calling to apologize for all the times you didn't bother about me, don't. I don't care anymore and am probably gonna leave the family. All of this you're doing is nonsense so please have a good day," he says hanging up

It didn't feel any better even after saying that to his mother, in fact it felt worse. He felt crushed, everything around him was just not right, he couldn't even love the woman he wants just to please man

"Logan you're crying," Lisa's voice fills the room. He looked up at her smiling and wiping away the tears that he didn't realize were running down his cheeks.

"Is Ella already gone?" He asks changing the subject as Lisa cuddled up in the bed next to him

"Yeah, she wasn't really excited to leave the house but she's missed school for a while now," she says cuddling closer to the man
"Now answer my question, why are you crying?"

"Just mother," he says brushing it off holding Lisa closer. He would die before he ever let anyone take the feeling away from him

"I got a text yesterday from my brother," Logan starts again after then lying silently with each other

"And?" Lisa asks

"He's been called home, I think I might be saying goodbye to all this earlier than I thought...." He sighs

Another update....
