From Rejected Son in Law to Empire Heir

Chapter 20: The Rejected Truth and Confrontation

 Logan looked at the resentment in his wife's eyes then began to explain. “Ava, the truth is… I'm not who you think I am. I belong to a very powerful family,  and I'm the heir to the business empire. The headquarters is being controlled by my family's butler named Alfred Alfonso. So you see, I'm a….”

 “Shut up, you liar!” Ava angrily grabbed her pillow and threw it at Logan's face. “That's it! I can't stand seeing your face right now.” She pointed at the bedroom door. “I want you to get out! You're sleeping in the living room tonight until you stop trying to feed me all this nonsense, you're not sleeping anywhere near me!”

 Logan was speechless. He would have persisted but he could tell that Ava was too tired for this conversation, so he got up and left.

  Mia finally woke up the next day and cried when she saw her parents. Logan and Ava couldn't hold in their emotions when they hugged their daughter. 

  It took two weeks of proper monitoring before the doctors officially discharged Mia. 

 The family of three had never been happier when they returned home that day and ate together. Ava even allowed Logan to sleep in the bedroom, so they could both snuggle with their daughter. 

 As the days went by, Ava kept telling Logan to get a job and was always getting furious with him every time he claimed that he had enough money to take care of all of them. 

 As days turned into weeks, Ava saw that despite the amount of spending that Logan was doing, he had not still run out of money even though he was currently jobless.  

 This only ended up making Ava even more scared as she still believed that Logan had gotten that money from  loan sharks. This had led to multiple arguments. No matter how she begged or insulted Logan to tell her the truth, he kept repeating that he was the heir to a rich and powerful empire. And each time, she would walk out on him, tired of it all.

  Mia was now old enough to start out in kindergarten, an excited Ava had her registered into a school close to her place of work, only to find out that Logan later  upgraded her to a very expensive kindergarten school. 

 When she furiously confronted him about it, Logan promised that he would pay for everything so she didn't have to worry about a thing.

 Logan decided to take his daughter out shopping. He waited for Ava to go to work before leaving the house with Mia. He ordered an Uber and they drove off to the city's mega-mall. 

 There, they took the escalator to one of the high-end children's boutiques in the mega-mall.

 He wanted to spoil her with the best clothes, shoes, and every cute accessory. Whatever Mia's heart desires was, he would make sure to purchase it for her with no hesitation.

 As father and daughter explored the mall in excitement, they ran into Stacy who was with her friends. 

 “Logan, what the hell are you doing here with Mia?” Stacy glared at Logan before smiling sweetly at her niece. “Hi Mia, how are you?” She asked in a small voice then turned back to Logan, “Don’t you know that kids will want anything they find pretty?  Your broke ass wouldn't be able to afford a single thing here so why bother bringing her? Aren’t you being a little cruel to your own daughter?”

 “We're just here for a bit of shopping in preparation for kindergarten.” Logan answered coolly. He didn't waste any time as he walked past Stacy without even acknowledging her friends. 

 “Is that man insane?!” Stacy yelled out in fury as she watched Logan leading Mia into a lavish-looking boutique in the distance. 

 “What's wrong, Stacy? It's just a father taking his daughter shopping. I think it's actually sweet. Plus, he's really hot.” One of her friends said, the other next to her agreed instantly.

 “Shut up!” Stacy turned her anger on her friend. “Dont you know who that man is? That's the poverty-stricken bastard that my sister was unlucky enough to marry and also, he has been a jobless loser for two months now. So tell me, where do you think he got the money from? He must be using my sister's hard-earned money and wasting it away.”  

 She suddenly waved goodbye to her friends. “You guys go on ahead without me. I need to stop that guy before he spends all my sister's money.”
