Chapter 18: Peace

"This is my male secretary, Winston. Winston, she's my wife—"

"I know, Boss. Everyone in this company knows that she holds a special place in your—"

"Shut the fuck up and leave, Winston. We'll go out of the office as soon as the meeting starts." Logan immediately cut off Winston's words with a glare. I shifted my eyes from Winston to Logan alternately, utterly confused of what's going on.

And why is Winston treating Logan like a close friend? Or maybe, they're really that close, huh?

Winston chuckled teasingly before he raised both of his hands like he was surrendering or something.

"Okay, Boss. I'll knock after thirty minutes." Winston turned to me and smiled kindly, so I smiled back. "Nice to meet you, Madam."

After Winston left, I immediately walked towards Logan's swivel chair and sat there. He was standing in front of his own table while reading some papers inside a folder, and when he saw me sitting on his chair, he raised his right brow. A smirk slowly cra

Interrupting my very slight emotional moment. I sighed as I let out an apologetic smile towards Winston, and he just nodded. I gestured that I'm gonna answer the phone call first, and he nodded understandingly again.I turned around and walked for a bit, just far enough from Winston before I answered the call without even looking at who the caller might be."Yes?""Brielle!" The other line immediately exclaimed loudly causing me to flinch. I slightly withdraw my phone from my right ear. The loud voice from the other line almost made my eardrum burst! "Where were you, huh? We came to the mansion, but you weren't here? What happened? Where are you?"I deadpanned. It's no other than the woman who gave birth to me again. And wait, did she just said 'we'? That means, she brought her stepdaughter with her again, huh? I rolled my

It looks delicious.Logan pulled a chair for me. I muttered a silent thank you before sitting there. Logan sat beside me, and looks like he wasn't really that happy after seeing our distance, so he pulled my chair beside his. It was so close that our legs were even touching.I looked at Anita who was sitting right in front of Logan, while Mom is in front of me. She was watching us with jealousy etching her whole face. It was so obvious, and I just couldn't ignore. She looks so funny with it.When she saw me looking at her, I smiled sweetly. Without breaking an eye contact, I picked up the glass of wine. I sipped on it before raising the glass as I tilted my head and smirked at her.I won. And I will always will.Mom was talking the whole time and I only noticed that her husband was nowhere to

    Chapter 21: TearsMom awkwardly laughed. She looked flustered with what I said. Mr. McConnor couldn't even looked at me straight in the eyes after I said that. And Anita? Oh well, as usual... the jealousy in her face was undeniable.I pouted and shrugged. I didn't mean to say that though. Well actually, a part of me wanted to reveal how happy we are in our marriage, but then... that would be too much information, right? So, I decided to just keep the rest to myself.Anita suddenly stood up which immediately gained an attention from Mom and her Dad. I watched her too while raising my right brow, wondering what would be her dramatic entry again."Oh, are you going to sleep already, sweety?" Mom asked. She looked at her wristwatch and then looked up to Anita again. "It's still early. You and Logan should talk about business, after all, you guys are in the same page."I arched my brow. Same page, huh? Same page? What does she mean by that same page? I glared at Logan, and I was kinda sho

But I'm still really curious as to what really happened... and why were you...wet," I sighed and unbuckled my seatbelt. It was an unfortunate night. I didn't want to be with Logan alone inside the car, and I was glad that after I ran out of the house, I found Calvin's familiar car that was parked just three blocks away from the McConnor's house. Maybe, it was really meant to happen. Calvin was meant to be my savior tonight despite of our past."Well, I'm not pressuring you to tell me what really happened, Brielle. I'm just... curious. Most especially because you were crying. You don't... usually cry, unless you were truly hurt." He sighed and shook his head. Yeah. I was hurt badly. My ego was badly hurt too. It was injured. I even feel like what happened tonight is far worst than what I have witnessed between him and Hailey

I was about to open the door when I was done when Calvin held my hand, stopping me from going out of his car.And yeah. This has been going on for three days. Calvin has been sending and fetching me everyday, and Logan was unable to stop me from doing that. I wasn't still talking to him. Am I bad? No. Definitely not. He's the one who's bad, because it looks like he didn't still realized what he did wrong. He didn't even said sorry. He didn't tried to apologize to me, and that sucks! I just married a completely fucking heartless asshole who's fucking numb to be able to feel what I felt when he shouted at me, and how he indirectly accused me that I started that fight. I still couldn't moved on, yes. Especially because Mom was freaking texting me things. Saying that I should apologize to Anita and the likes. Even Dad texted me that about it too. Although he didn't told me to a

I had a massive headache, and that freaking scene would greet my eyes! Imagine my horror?! That's just so fuck up!"What... happened?" He asked huskily. He was a little dizzy and confused. I wanted to curse so bad when I saw how cute he looks with his messy hair and his sleepy eyes. It was undeniably cute on him! But there's no way in hell that I would admit that to him!I glared at him before pointing at the door. "Get out. Get the fuck out, Logan!""Huh? Baby, this is my room too—""You have your own room! You stay there!" I exclaimed. He looked at me and pouted. My eyes dropped towards his bare chest. I coughed and looked away."Baby, I'm sleepy. Let me sleep here, Kiera. This is my room too.""I don't want to be with you, so get out, Logan." I said grumpily. I heard him let out a deep sigh, but I didn't

But, I really can feel that something's going on with them.And maybe, I was too early to judge and tell them about it that they might be changing... ways. Still, I'll make sure that I'll caught them. Red-handed.As soon as the door of the room closed, Logan pressed me there as he attacked me with his hot and fiery kisses. I gasped, I didn't expect this! And that was his cue to insert his tongue inside my mouth.My eyes widened. I tried to push him with both of my hands on his chest, but he was too strong. His right hand was beside my head while the other was encircled around my waist possessively. He pulled me impossibly more closer towards him until I was so pressed to him, that I can even feel his masculinity on my stomach."You were being such a bad and spoiled girl, Kiera. You have been doing that for days now and

    Chapter 26: InvestedI woke up feeling so sore all over. I wasn't surprised anymore. Logan just made sure that we'll left any parts of our room untouched. He made sure to make love to me in every places, and I'm worried that he'll dismiss the helpers and his bodyguards soon just so we could be able to make love in every part of the house too.He was extremely insatiable last night. He didn't even made me rest, and if he'll do, it was also timed too. He said that he doesn't want to waste any more time, and that, he have to have me in any way possible... in different positions in just that night.I felt Logan's arm tightened around me as he buried his face on my naked chest more. Yes. He was almost sleeping above me, but it wasn't really a problem at all. I could accommodate to his weight perfectly. "Baby? You're awake?" He asked huskily before dropping kisses on my chest. I just groaned before nodding my head."You're hungry, right?" He asked again. His warm calloused hands slowly low

    Chapter 75"Are you sure you're going to watch, Miss?" My heart pounded for no reason as I stared at the file that Matias found about Anita. I only nodded shortly, even though my heart was pounding so hard for some reason. I feel nervous. Matias let our a deep sigh before clicking it. The video played and all that I did was to freeze on my seat as I continue to watch the scene in front of me. It was a scandal of Anita with a man. It was familiar. He was familiar to me. I know that physiques! I know it and I know that I'm not wrong!I bit my lower lip and signalled Matias to stop the video. He did, and I immediately looked away."I've seen enough today, Matias." I said, touching my forehead and slightly massaging it. "I... want to go home."That's what I did. Matias quietly sent me home with the bodyguards that Logan hired for me. "Are you okay, babe?" Logan immediately asked me as soon as he arrived in the penthouse. Kierro is inside his room with Mateo, probably playing in there.

    Chapter 74So, how could he explain those hickeys I saw on his neck? The red lipstick that saw on the collar of his shirt? How about the times were him and Anita going together was broadcasted to the world? How about those times, huh? The time he spent more on Anita. What was that all? That was all nothing then? "I know you're still doubting me, babe, but allow me to explain everything to you once these are all over, hmm?" My eyebrows furrowed in confusion when I heard him. "Let me handle everything, baby. Please. I just want you and our son to be safe and sound."I am indeed confused with him. I tried to ask him further more, but he refused to answer me. He said that the right time where he'll explain everything to me is already approaching, and all that I have to do is to wait for that moment.Days passed and Logan still didn't allow me to only have five bodyguards everytime I go out for work. Even Kierro, our son, has his own bodyguards which really quite amazes me. Looks like Log

    Chapter 73I woke feeling so exhausted that I felt like my body ran a whole marathon in my dreams. The first that I saw as I opened my eyes was the white ceiling that I have to think again if I'm awake or I'm just really in heaven. I could hair faint voices beside me as I tried to keep my eyes open while observing the surroundings that I am currently in. I still fell sleepy despite of the fact that I just woke up. So I asked myself what really happened?And it hit me. I was ambushed and I was alone with Mateo in the car. I thought it was my end when those people started cornering us while pointing their guns at us, but no. Fortunately, Logan was exactly on time, arriving judt to save me. To save the person that loathes him. I really did got shot on my left leg. It wasn't too fatal, but it was enough for me to be brought in the operating room. Hence, the reason for my weak body now. It must've because of the wound and the medicine that they injected on me. "Momma! You're awake! Momm

    Chapter 72"This is fucking ambush, Miss!" Mateo shouted as I heard the screeching of cars from behind us. Mateo just kept on driving even with gunshots following us behind. I was crying, still as I curled myself on the backseat. I covered my ears when the bullets started penetrating the window. Mateo's cuss kept getting louder and louder. Two black cars were following us while they were firing their guns at us too. I didn't know for how long did I endured the noise of the firing guns, but the next thing that I knew was that our car stopped. A loud screech illuminated as I heard Mateo's defeated sigh. I cried more, knowing that there's a big chance that I won't be alive tonight anymore. It scares me. So fucking much. The death, but this is truly inescapable anymore. I wouldn't be seeing my son anymore. Will he be safe with Logan? Will my baby cry once he found out that his mother died in an ambush? He will. Oh God, Kierro will be sad and frustrated. He will probably blame himself

    Chapter 71: Shot "What? Cat got your tongue, Brielle? Yes, it's true. I am fucking carrying Logan's child, that's why I am being desperate. My child doesn't deserve to grow up without his father. My baby deserves a father, and that's Logan." I stood still, and I admit that what she said shook my whole world. It made my body cold, freezing for seconds. The anger surged in my system again. The anger for the both of them. For the betrayal that they did to me. If I were the Kierran Brielle that I was used to. The Kierran Brielle who was selfish and doesn't care about anything else. The Kierran Brielle before Kierro came into my life, I would've fucking beat her up into pulp 'till she bleed herself up. But no, I am not like that. If it's true that she's pregnant with Logan's child, then I'm not gonna do anything to harm it. After all, the baby's innocent from his or her parent's betrayal.I am angry. So fucking angry right now, but I don't want to give Anita the satisfaction of seeing i

    Chapter 70 The next day, I have to go to the company and take charge again. I can't just stop taking care of it. I still have to do my duty as as the new handler of my father's company. I have to take care of it, while I'm busy finding out about Claire's real intention too. Logan and Kierro sent me to the company. I didn't want to leave my baby alone with him, but I didn't have any other choice. And besides, Kierro doesn't even want to look at me, and it seems like he already trust his father so much, so I decided to leave him with Logan. When I got inside the office, I immediately received a text message from Logan saying that he's back home with Kierro. He even said that they'll go swimming today which I agreed. I got busy with the papers in the office that I didn't notice the time. It was already 11:30 AM, so I decided to stand up to have lunch since I was already feeling kinda hungry, but when I opened the door, Anita's angry face greeted me. My lips parted before I slowly

    Chapter 69After fetching Kierro, we immediately came back to Logan's penthouse. Logan just let Kierro rest for a bit before he told him he can go to swimming now. Kierro was so excited. He even squealed but when I told him he's not allowed to be alone in there yet, his excitement immediately died down. Oh God. He's just three and I can't let him be left alone there. I wanted to be with him, but not now. My mind is so chaotic. I was thinking something else and I know that I wouldn't be able to take care of him properly if I'm thinking about something else. It was hard and I was kinda guilty for making my son feel sad, but I... just couldn't do it now. Not now. "Why, Momma? Is there something wrong? I'll be careful..." His voice became softer 'till it became like a whisper when he noticed my eyebrows slowly furrowed. "No. I told you not for now, Kierro. We can't go swimming today. I won't let you." I said, full of authority. I didn't wanna use that voice of mine with him, but I wa

    Chapter 68I fell asleep after all the things that we did that night. I enjoyed it. The pleasure is in there and I was more than satisfied. There was no regret after he finally stopped devouring me. I was weak, tired, and exhausted. But still, I was able to look at the clock on the side of his bed table. 4:30 AM. That's how long we craved with each other's touches and kisses. I didn't actually think we will be able to finish doing each other that time. Logan was insatiable. I know his stamina when it comes to the bed. Back when we were together, we will always finish in the morning. The sun already rises that time, but right now was different. I kept on yawning already, so I guess he was just forced to finish what we were doing.It was already 12:30 in the afternoon when I woke up. My whole body was aching and I felt like I just ran a whole marathon. The thing in between my thighs were hurting like hell too. I even felt like a whole bulldozer attacked my insides last night, but mo, i

The throbbing heat in between my clothes only worsened when Logan started planting soft kisses from my lips, down to my neck and to my naked breast. I let out a gasped as I crumpled his hair, slightly pulling it towards my chest even more. I closed my eyes tightly. My head dug deeper on the pillow. The heat in my body is beyond the raging point and that's when I feel like I wanted more from his kisses and touches. Logan captured my right nipple with his lips as he started caressinf the left too, making sure that both are pleasured equally and that none of them were left out. My eyes rolled with the pleasure I felt as I gripped his hair tighter.He sucked my nipple really hard which causes me to moan loudly."Fuck, Logan..."
