Chapter 4

Valerie POV

"So, you have been that busy huh?" Lana my cousin asks.

She hands me a cup of coffee, "When was the last time we hang out cuz?"

She asks trying to make me talk to her since I've been quite. Since I got here I haven't said a word. I'm mad all I can think about is how Tyler treated me today.

"I can't believe that little idiot disrespected me like that today.

And that little Secretary, she thinks she can just swoop in and steal my....Ticket to absolute Wealth!" I yell, throwing a pillow down.

My first words, ever since I got here.

Lana just looks at me surprised.

"Ohh-kay." She confusedly replies putting the pillow back on the sofa.

My phone rings.

"Lana can you pass me my phone it's next to you?."

I wonder who's calling me now, I bet it's that moron Jordan it's his fault we're in this mess.

"Whoa, look who's calling your phone! It's none other than Mr Logan!" Lana screams, her face lighting up with excitement.

"What? Really? pass me the phone really quick!" I answer it without wasting anymore time.

"Hi, honey!" I say sounding as sad as I can sound on the phone.

"We need to talk now, meet me at the Logans family restaurant!" He immediately hungs up. I know him very well, I can tell even through the phone he sounds upset and troubled.

Lana just stands there looking at me with a smile in her face.

"So what did Mr Logan say Mrs Logan?" Lana asks.

"The next time you call me Mrs Logan again I'm going to slap you really hard!"

She never listens I've told her a million times to not call me that, the more I tell her not call me that, the more she does call me that.

"Alright I'm going to meet up with Tyler, at his family restaurant?" I say standing up from the sofa. The Only thing on my mind right now is what's bothering him? He sounded troubled on the phone he sounded sad.

"Alright good luck Mrs Logan!" I turn around and give her a look again.

"You are not calling me that again Lana! Stop it!"

-"But the name fits you well, don't you think it's time you got yourself that special someone? You know you and Tyler make a great couple! Don't tell me you haven't fallen for him. He is all you think about, all you talk about. just look at you, you look so sad without him, just face it you feel something for that boy. I saw your face when that phone rang and you saw he called you."

Now she is sounding like my sister,

"Whatever Lana!" I close the door behind me as I leave the house.

"Love? What the fuck is love? That's an unfamiliar word to me," I say to myself, taking out my car keys from my purse.

I get in my car and drive off.

I've arrived at the restaurant he said we should meet but he is not here he's running late.

My phone rings.

It's Jordan. I answer it.

"Yes? What do you want Jordan?" I say in anger over the phone, it's his fault we're in this mess in the first place.

"Any progress?" He replies.

"No I'll tell you when there is any progress, bye!" I hung up.

Stupid, he's got no idea what's coming for him. If I was playing this game by myself, I wouldn't be in this mess.

I arrive at Logans family restaurant, and it's packed with people as always, Looks like he's not here yet.

"Hi Ms Valerie what are you going to have today?" The waiter asks me.

"Nothing!" I take a seat. I check the time on my phone and it's 4:16 PM. I wonder what is it he wants to talk about, I sure hope it's about getting back together.

Anyways if he decides to not get back together, I know just how to change his mind. His grandmother made him promise that he'll marry me no matter what.

Tyler walks in, he takes a seat at the same table I'm sitting.

"Hey, how are you?" I nervously say.

Wow I have never felt as good as this to see anyone in my life. Well anyways this boy is my ticket to having billions, so yeah I feel pretty good that we're talking right now.

He looks sad, just as he looked earlier. My hand slowly reaches for his arm, which he has placed on the table. He pulls it away after making contact with my fingers.

"I'm sorry, I know....."

"I need you to be honest with me please don't lie to me this time Did you get Lisa and emma killed? Or maybe did you kill them yourself, cause I dated them when we broke up?" He asks.

Uh oh, how did he find that out?

"Uhmmmmmm.....,What are you talking about?" I reply denying it,

"Tyler come on, don't tell me you believe that too...Who told you that? you know I didn't do it, I would never do something like that, I was with you the day Lisa was killed, I spent the night at your place remember."

"Val don't lie to me. What does, I'll end it like I always do mean?" He asks.

"I know, and I'm sorry I acted like that today on your office, I didn't mean what i said, I was angry, I just couldn't stand seeing the man I love, being with someone else!" I interrupting him off before he could finish what he wanted to say.

"You know what I think? I think you did it, I think you paid someone to do it." He glares at me.

I look him deep in the eyes. "Wow, for two years, people have been calling me a murderer and such names, I was able to take it, cause you believed me. I thought you knew me better to know I'd never do something like that," I try to make him feel guilty after what he said.

"There are a lot of things I thought you would never do, but you proved me wrong so who knows," He stands up to leave, "goodbye," He says putting on his sun glasses, and he walks out the door.

"Tyler wait!" He ignores me, he just leaves the place , I follow him outside as he is about to get to his car on the parking lot, "Tyler can we talk about something?" I say running after him.

I catch up to him on the parking lot.

"Okay stop, we have to talk!" I grip on his arm and spin him "Tyler stop! Can we...just talk about things, look I'm sorry."

He takes my hand off me and gets in his car, I also get in his car with him.

"What's you problem? I told you I don't want to speak with you."

He looks at me angrily. He just let's out sigh, He realises, I'm not planning on letting him go without getting what I want.

"Alright, let's talk but make it quick!"

I don't think apologizing and crying fake tears is going to help now. Time for plan b.

I need to remind him of the promise he made to his grandma.

"So, what about the promise we made to Grandma before she died? We can't just break it...I mean it was her last wish," I woefully say.

He turns his head facing me. "Do you know something? it sucks that I have to get married to someone who has broken my heart a million times. All because of some promise I made." He looks at his watch.

"I need to go somewhere, so if you would?" he says, starting the car, indicating me to leave the car.

I try to think of an excuse to stay in the car with him. I have to say I've never felt like this before, it just feels so, good, being in the car with him.

Maybe Lana was right, I feel something for him.

Well anyways what ever it might be that I feel for him, it doesn't matter, cause I need to complete my mission.

"So, where are you going? you know maybe we can hang out?" I softly say, trying to make up an excuse to stay in the car with him.

He bends over and opens the door for me to leave.

I close it back again. I know if I insist on staying inside the car he'll give in.

I remember when he would put off his phone, just to listen to me, just to pay attention to whatever I have to say. I remember the times He treated me like a queen, now he can't even look at me.
