Chapter 56: Last MomentI was tensed the whole day. Although I wasn't that tired at all because the maids helped me entertain everyone who came to see and look at Dad and also to send condolences, I still feel very drained. Most especially that I can feel Logans gaze at me everywhere I go. He's really following my every moves and I feel uncomfortable about it. I act like his stares are nothing to me, but deep inside, it was sending different shivers in my body. And I was glad that he didn't pushed himself to talk to me or ask me anything that concerns about Kierro, because I am still not ready to talk to him about it.The next day, I wore an all black sleeveless dress that's above my knee. It completely hugged and complimented each curves of my body. I smiled while staring at my own reflection in front of the mirror. Seeing my body now is what makes me more proud of myself. It satisfied me knowing that I carried Kierro inside me for nine months. I used to have a fragile body, but no
Chapter 57Watching my father's casket being dragged down the soil to be buried was painful. I cried my heart out knowing that I wouldn't be able to see the old man ever again. Why is this happening? Oh God. This is too sudden, really. I wasn't even able to spend more time with him after a year and then I lost him? We lost him.How am I going to survive the next day now that he's not by my side to support me? How am I going to get through all this? My Kierro Achellus is still too young for this. He doesn't deserve this. We don't deserve this. "Momma..." I heard Kierro's soft voice behind me. I turned to look at him, only to see him being carried by his father. I totally forgot about my own son because of this. I couldn't but feel a little guilty. I was too busy of mourning on my own, that I forgot about my son who's probably as devastated as me too.A small smile slowly stretched on my lips. "Come here, baby. Let's go home, hmm?" I am well aware of the stare that I am getting from L
Chapter 58The next day, I was bombarded with a lot of messages and emails coming from the investors and the board members in Dad's company. They were asking me what will happen to the company now that Dad's gone. Seriously, these people are kinda disgusting. Dad just died and yet, they want me to take the responsibility already. They didn't even give me enough time to mourn. If I have any other choice, I would've been choosing something else, but then I don't. I am the only successor of my father, the heiress of his business that he worked his ass off, so I will be taking over it even when I am not that ready yet. After taking a bath, I started choosing clothes to wear and decided to wear a black sweetheart corset top and paired it with a black blazer and a white trouser as the buttom to complete my look. I tied my hair in a neat bun with some strands left on each side to highlight my face. I wore pair of channel gold earrings and safety pin gold necklace. I put on my gold wrist wa
Chapter 59: Got You"What was that?" That was the first question that came out from my mouth when all the board members left and I was left alone with Logan Sullivan inside. Mateo also left because I told him to watch for my son. He was hesitant at first, but then he followed me eventually."What? I was only telling them the truth. You're still the President and the CEO of your Dad's company. You deserve that position, Kieran. Don't let other people tell you otherwise, hmm?" I frowned at him to show him that I wasn't liking even a tiny bit of what's coming our from his mouth. Seriously? It still bothers me how he can say these words so easily like he never did me wrong before?Were we okay? No, we aren't. And we will never be fine, so it would be much better if we part our ways completely. But why does fate seemed to be playing with us?"What game are you seriously playing, Logan Sullivan? Didn't I told you already that I don't want to see you ever again? Why can't you understand that
Chapter 60: See You "Are you really sure about this, Ma'am?" I stopped signing the papers when I heard Matias' voice, asking me about my plan of investigating Dad's death again. He doesn't have to ask me that though. I know that he already saw my determination to dig dipper about my Dad's case. I can't just shut my mouth forever when I know that something's going on. And my first suspect would be Claire and Anita. I may not have proofs to show yet, but I'll surely find one, and I won't stop 'till I have it. I won't stop 'till I dig about the fucking dirt that they have been hiding for such a long time. "A hundred percent sure, Matias. And I want you to be the head of the investigation. And you should start it by investigating where the sniper stayed when it happened. We might be able to get some footages or clues in that place." Matias nodded stiffly. And just like that, I know he clearly understood that I want no failures for this investigation. "Keep this a secret, Matias. Th
Chapter 61: Threat"How's the investigation so far, Matias? Did you find anything suspicious?" "We found something, Miss. It's probably just a small thing, but I know it would be a huge help for the investigation to continue to grow."It was one of the days where I always asked for Matias' update about the investigation with my father's death. It has been days. The first week actually, ever since he and his team started to look for my own birth mother's and her family's dirt that can help in my father's case. We haven't found any since the first week. It was disheartening, I almost wanted to give up, but hearing Matias' news made me feel alive for some reason.I nodded, a small smile slowly appeared on my lips. He noticed my intrigue, so he sat down on the chair in front of my table. As usual, I am inside my office right now. I can't just leave it and slack off or something knowing that my Dad's hard earned company is at stake."It's about Clair McConnor's activity these past few day
Chapter 62: Priority He is really ruthless. Still so fucking ruthless and manipulative. He didn't changed at all, and that's enough reason for me to stop myself from getting involve with him. This would be the last time that I will let myself be entangled with him. That bastard. I couldn't stop thinking about how I cried and break down in front of him after what he told me. Those words. His exact words still sent different shivers inside my body. The way he told me that he's going to get my baby once I said no to him. It was absurd. He was so cruel for that. Although he tried to console me when I broke down, but I didn't let him touch me even a single strand of my hair. Never. Not after what he said.He was just there, watching me while I cried. I don't know if he was sorry for what he said, but I guess not, because he didn't say sorry to me either. I pushed him out of my office, and I guess he was too weak and dumbfounded too that he wasn't able to stop me from pushing him away."M
Chapter 63: Used"No." I shook my head as I held Logan's arm. "We will go to the event."Logan only stared at me for a few seconds before he signalled something to Mateo. Looks like he really doesn't want to go to the even anymore, but we have to! I don't want to ruin his plans tonight just because I cried in fromt of him."I said we will attend, Logan. Mateo will come with us so he can accompany Kierron inside the car while they wait for us there." I sighed. "We have to appear. At least for five minutes." "Babe, we don't have to—""Logan!" I glared at him as I continue to stare striaght in his eyes to prove a point. He stared back too, and when he noticed that I wasn't going to back down now, his jaw clenched before looking away."Fine, but we'll only appear for one freaking minute and that's it." He sounded angry, but he was still so gentle as he accompanied me towards his car with my son in his arms. Mateo drove Logan's car while we stayed in the backseat. Kierro still hasn't spe
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
Chapter 67The heated moment continued and I don't think I can be able to stop myself anymore from this raging emotions. 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..." When I felt something in my stomach started to build up, that's when his kisses went down to my stomach. He is really making sure that no par
