"Okay, that's it!" I growled. Without thinking, I pinched Logan's arm, and he let out a winch. Once he released me, I jumped on Mandy, fisting at her face. There were a couple of slaps and clawing. She screamed for her life, and I was enjoying it."Who's a bitch now?! Huh!" I yelled. "You don't think I can take you on? Your deadbeat brain can't even come up to save your life.""When Heather comes back, you will need to watch your back," she said through her screams of pain.What the fuck?Is Heather coming back?I stopped a fist in midair, pondering about Heather returns. But that didn't matter to me. "Oh yeah, let her come. Because I'm not that scared little bitch everyone knew. She can come at me with everything she got. You're seeing the real Aphrodite Catherine Reid, and she's back." Then I hit her. Her head fell back. She closed her eyes and was unable to move.I was panting hard.This adrenaline rush running through my bloodstream, to be honest, felt good. Although it was wrong
"What's her name?" I asked Logan.After that heartfelt moment, we decided to head to the beach. The streets were busier because all the bars and certain spots were open until midnight. Once I stepped out of his car, I felt the cold ocean breeze brush against my skin. It may be challenging, but luckily we got a large blanket, one size — just the two of us.We sat on the beach with my toes curled in the sand. I laid in front of Logan, acting like my personal backrest pillows. I put my head back on his chest as we watched the powerful waves hit the beach's edge."Her name was Niana, Miss Niana Davenport," Logan said with a stable breath. Just mentioning her name must of bring back painful memories. "She was so beautiful, smart, and kind. Which reminds me of you.""Me kind? Didn't you see me do all those things to Paris, that date of yours and Mandy?"Logan laugh. "Yeah, but I could tell you were jealous. Although, I was pretty upset about what you did to my date.""Do you want me to cast
Logan has talked about Niana more; I was starting to like her. I haven't met her, but she seems like a genuine person to know.But if she were alive, there would have to be a showdown between us. It's like the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Then arrange it to "Who Wants to Get Logan Dick?"You know what I mean.If she were alive, I would be fighting — an all-out fight with a dead girl who was Logan's first love.When Logan drove us back home, we walked hand to hand toward his house, and it didn't surprise any of my siblings or his. They looked at us, snickering and grinning like a Chester Cat. It seems that Seth was eavesdropping on us and told everyone.Ares didn't look happy because he knew Logan broke my heart and was itching to fight him. I know they have an equal and fair fight, but I didn't want two people who are an essential fight because of my stupidity. Athena, on the other hand, was different. I thought she would be mad at me for dating a guy like Logan, but she
"Effie?"I looked up and saw Athena at my door. I pulled out my earphone. "Yeah, what's up?"I stared at her, studying her, and realized she looked different, not in the way of her hair or if she put make-up on, but something about her shone as if she was glowing."What are you doing?" She entered my room and pretended she hadn't seen it in years."My study guide."She nodded her head. "Do you have plans today?"I pin my eyes on her as she walks around my room like a museum of things she has already seen. "Yeah, I'm doing something with Lily at her house later tonight." I can't tell my sister that Lily will meet the groom-to-be. That would shock her.But something is amiss here. Why is my sister just came to my room and have a small chat? I know she's been busy working at the senior homes and with Rex, but it feels weird."Thea, you okay?" I finally asked her."Mmh..." is what she gave me. "Oh! Yeah, I'm fine. Fine. I want to hang out with my baby sister, that's all.""You don't have
I began packing for some things needed when I headed to Lily's house. I grabbed my make-up bag when my phone chimed.I saw a text from Logan that he was outside in the car. I text him back that I'll be there in a second.Once I got everything in my backpack, I was not giving away that I was going to Lily's house to change into a formal attire professionally made by Aunt Nicky. I didn't want to make everyone, including Logan, suspicious of me. I have to act natural.I left my room and saw the TV on with Ares sleeping. His snoring made me chuckle, and Athena was in the kitchen preparing to bring some ingredients to Wolfe's house."Effie, how long will you stay at Lily's house?""Not long, but I promise to be home by 10.""Well, if it's homework, then it's okay. Just let me know you are going home late.""Yes, mom," I said that as sarcasm, but learning about her pregnancy wasn't a joke. "So, are you going to tell Rex tonight?"She sighed, looking at the bag of stuff. "Not yet. I plan to
A day before the dinner party at Lily's grandparents' house. I saw Lena at her company, which wasn't so bad. After I talked to Athena about my encounter with a famous producer, she was thrilled. She decided to take a paternity test for the results of her baby's father. I have never seen my sister look as nervous as ever, which was rare coming from a sister who could speak her mind. "Now, who's sulking?" I retort the words on my own to Lily, who today isn't in her best mood since that night. We are at our usual hang-out, and Lily doesn't seem hungry. "You haven't touched your food." Lily stayed in silence, staring off into space. I know that look. I had that look. I invented that look. Well, actually, no, but I was in that state. When she and I went to that dinner party, her grandparents' host. They introduced us to the Naval family, the groom's family. Then during dinner time, Seema, Lily's grandmother, was introduced along with her husband Vishal Haasan with the rest of the gue
After spending time with Odin, I learned about his life, and he was born and raised in London. But the topic of his family made his expression fall, and his tone changed. Odin never talked about his family, and hearing about his wife and son leaving his life made me realize we are the same. He blames himself for his wife's death and his son leaving home when he was sixteen because of a huge argument.Odin regretted that day and wanted to make amends, but he had no clue where his son was. The only thing he last heard was he had moved to California."So, this whole time, you have not found him?" I asked.Odin loft his tea and elegantly took a sip like he was royalty. "I had Terry look for him."I learned that the severe-looking bodyguard is named Terry Young."It's no wonder I don't see him here with you. He's like a magnet keeping a watchful eye on anyone close to you.""Are you interested? Terry is single." He said. "Shy with the women, but he's a good guy."I shook my head vigorous
"You must sound macho when playing a palace guard, Logan.""Baby girl, I'm trying, but this role does not fit my image."A few months have passed, and Logan and I's relationship is strong.Every day we hung out at his house or mine. But I prefer he and I stay at my home. His brothers would be there, eavesdropping on us that mostly on Seth. Every minute would have passed, and Seth bothered us. Asking us random questions or asking us if we want something to eat. He even disrupted my heat of passion moment with Logan in his brother's room just inches away from having our clothes off then...BAM!Seth burst in like a fucking SWAT, then apologized for his intrusion.Athena is always working late, double shift at the nursing homes, and Ares will be with his drinking buddies at the bar or their home. I'm home alone with a boy with no interruptions. "Image? They are just characters. You're just mad you are playing a guard. In the movie, they aren't even attractive.""Am I hot? Or sexy?" It d
