Chasing Back What's Mine Nadine 0025
We entered the boutique. I feel a little out of place among the luxurious surroundings, but Logan's presence makes me feel more at ease. But one thing stands out: we're the only ones in the boutique. I look around, trying to figure out what's wrong. He notices me looking around and smiles at me. "What's wrong?" he asks me. "I'm p..puzzled," I stutter. "I bought the whole floor so no one can interrupt our shopping," he explains.My eyes widen in shock, I place my hand over my mouth to stifle the scream that threatens to escape. I've already done the calculations in my head - if he's willing to buy out the entire floor of the boutique just for our shopping, how incredibly wealthy is this man standing before me?"You don't have to, Logan," I say finally, finding my words."Yes, I do, my wife," he replies, taking my hand in his. "Come, let's go shopping."The number of times he's referred to me as such today makes me think he's taking this marriage contract more seriously than I anti

The drive back home is an awkward silence. I try to strike up a conversation with him, but I notice that the words refuse to form on my lips. I turn my face to look at him and realize that his eyes are fixed on the road, his hands tight on the steering wheel, his face in a stoic mood like he's thinking hard. I brush off whatever thoughts are on my mind as I rest my back and relax, but I don't know for how long. Suddenly, I feel a movement around me, and I open my eyes to notice Logan trying to carry me inside. I wiggle out of his hold and realize that I have fallen asleep."Sorry, I wanted to help you up to your room since you had slept off," he says awkwardly, looking at me."Thank you," I say, stepping out of the car on my own. I have no intention of going inside; I just want to be left alone to think about everything right now. I notice that my chest feels heavy with something I can't quite point out like I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen. Shaking my head,

I hear Asher screaming my name from my study, and I panic because I sense fear in his voice. He's not just screaming; he's calling my attention to something bad that might have happened. I traced his voice to the pool area, knowing Nadine went that way after we got back to the house. I wanted to follow her but decided to stay back, I know she is conflicted about me and thought it was because of Samantha.I rush to the pool and see Nadine has passed out. I can see panic in Asher's voice as he looks between me and Nadine. "What happened to her? What have you done to her?" I ask, wondering why Nadine is in this state.I scoop her up into my arms, her fragile body clinging to me like a lifeline. I carry her away from the pool, noticing Asher is hot on my tail. "What happened?" I ask him as I lay her down on the couch."We were just talking about some random things, and then I realized she was gasping for air," Asher explains, looking scared. "I've never experienced anything like this be

NadineI see Logan's concerned look, and I can't help but be drawn to him. But as much as I'd love to commit, I have to guard my heart to avoid getting burned again. My mind goes back to my discussion with Asher, and I wonder who Isabelle is. With the way Logan is pressing and asking now and then, I'm tempted to open up to him about my discussion with Asher. But I'm scared of driving a wedge between Asher and Logan. Logan could be many things - he might seem cool and understanding at first, but then take it the other way around.Logan's stare is making me uncomfortable as I eat. "You're making me nervous with your stares," I say. He just smiles and says nothing."I see you don't want to talk about your discussion with Asher," he says, resting his back on the couch. I can tell he's frustrated. I don't want him to feel bad about the whole thing, so I tell him, "There was nothing serious. We just talked about his daughter. I guess I got too emotional seeing the circumstances surroundi

Who could be interrupting my moment with Nadine? I curse inwardly as I move away from her to retrieve my phone.My heart beats fast in my chest when I realize it's Samantha calling. "What does she want?" I whisper to myself, aware that Nadine is watching my every move. I need to be careful; Samantha is many things, and I don't think I want to agree with what she wants from me.I swipe my phone to answer the call, getting straight to the point. "What is it?" I ask, not beating around the bush. I know I used to feel something for her before, but I guess it's all in the past. She dumped me at the altar, after tagging me along for so long. I thought she loved me; we were perfect together until I noticed she started drifting away. I asked her many times to know the reason, but she didn't tell me. I loved her too much to let go, thinking the love I had for her would overshadow whatever uncertainty she had about us, but I was wrong.On my wedding day, I was left alone at the altar, wait

I go to my room, making my way to the bathroom. I look into the mirror and notice my face is flushed. I smile at myself, thinking about my time with Logan. I can't deny the attraction we both have for each other. I want to guard my heart, but how can I when I love helplessly? That's always been my weakness. I think about my time with Daniel - the love was one-sided. He left me without closure, and when we met again at Logan's parents, it seemed he was in pain that I had moved on.I shake my head, dismissing the memories. I don't want to think about Daniel right now. Jake, who I thought was my fairy tale love, happens to be cheating on me with my twin sister. I see how happy they look together. The last time I saw them, they seemed so in love, while I was stuck in this complicated situation with Logan. Logan, on the other hand, has been sweet, but the thought of Samantha makes me hesitant to commit to him. I don't want to give my all to him, only to end up getting burned again.I

She slowly nods her head. I am stunned, wondering why she kept the secret from us. She looks everywhere but at me, fear evident in her eyes. It is enough that I have put her through so much stress, but seeing her in this state makes my heart bleed."Is Dad aware?" she cries even more. I step back, not knowing how to react to her tears. I guess she remembers something. "That's one of the reasons your dad hates me and doesn't want anything to do with me," she says, her voice choking with tears."Oh, I'm so sorry," I say, bringing her into a hug. "I didn't know about this.""So many things happened when I was pregnant with you guys," she continues, crying even harder. "My family had a business dealing with very dangerous people, and the only way they could repay them was by taking away my baby.""Before then, your father loved me so much. But after the incident, he couldn't stand the sight of me," she says, tears streaming down her face.She takes a deep breath, trying to steady herse

I am at a loss for words as he corners me, unsure of how to respond. He walks slowly toward me, looking at me as if I’m the only girl that matters.“I know I haven’t been the best at showing my emotions,” he says, his eyes never leaving mine. “But I want you to know that I care about you deeply and I want us to last.”My heart skips a beat at his words. Logan isn't the type to display his emotions easily, but when he does, it feels genuine. Despite my doubts about his understanding of love, his words squeeze a part of my heart tight in my chest.I nod, but he gently brings his lips closer to my ear. He nibbles on it and says in a low, intense whisper, “Gosh, I can’t get you out of my head. Feel this,” he says, pressing against me, “It throbs for you every time I think about you.”His words make my knees weak. I try to be cautious, resisting his allure, but it’s nearly impossible not to fall for this gorgeous man straddling me on his big bed. He moves his lips to mine, kissing me slow

I take a step back, trying to create some distance between us, as Logan’s face inches closer to mine. He notices my movement and hesitates."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...you know," he trails off, his eyes searching mine for understanding.“I just wanted to say thank you...for choosing to have Shawn, despite everything between us before you left.”“He's my boy too, and I don't regret...any of it," I sayLogan nods, with a small smile on his lips. "Thank you anyway.”I study Logan's face, trying to read his intentions. I kinda like this new, softer side of him, but I wonder if it's just an act for Shawn’s sake. Either way, it's a welcome change."So..." I draw out the word, curious about what he's going to say next.Logan’s hand slips into his pocket, and he pulls out a small box. He holds it out to me, his eyes hopeful.I shake my head, hesitant to accept whatever is inside. "No, Logan, I don't want anything from you."He takes a step closer, his hand still extended.

"Wait, sorry, my bad," I say, moving the phone away from my ear to double-check the number. I was expecting Ethan's call, but this number is unfamiliar. Yet, the voice on the other end is unmistakable - Logan.I try to sound civil, for Shawn's sake. "What's up?" attempting to keep the tone light."Nothing much, Nadine. Did you sleep well?" I'm not interested in small talk, so I cut to the chase. "Yes, I did. Why are you calling?" The pause is brief, but I sense he hesitates before Logan speaks again. I wait, wondering what he wants to discuss."I was wondering if I can have my time with Shawn today," I recall Shawn's excitement earlier, asking to see his buddy today."Okay," I say, and I can almost hear Logan's sigh of relief on the other end of the line. I'm taken aback - I know he thinks I'll say no. But I'm done fighting; all I want is what's best for my son."What time are you coming?" I ask."I'm right outside your mom's house," his voice is a little stronger now. I glance out
