"Tell me it's a dream Anastasia" Delaney cried, leaning on her best friend. "Unfortunately, it's not" Anastasia replied."The same fate has befallen us" she added and Delaney sniffed.All these years of waiting for Logan to finally make her his wife, all these years of dedicating her life, her heart and her body to him.. he chose a slave over her.She was heartbroken, bitter and resentful. She would never forgive Logan or that slave for humiliating her in the way that they did. Drying her tears, she looked up at Anastasia."I will not fold my arms and let everything I have worked hard for just disappear into thin air like this" she stated, filled with rage and envy."What do you want to do? You can't go against Logan" Anastasia said."You can decide to sit back and watch your man marry some sl*t, but I won't do that. Logan is not allowed to be with another woman" Delaney sounded sinister. She got up and strode to the mirror. She wiped off the tears in her eyes and grinned at her ref
"You look so ridiculous" Adena said as she continued to laugh at Logan. Coffee was all over the place, and the coffee mug rested on Logan's head. He felt embarrassed, he got up and dropped the mug on his desk."This is so sticky" he said, using his fingers to sweep the dripping coffee off his forehead and flinging it away. He looked at Adena who was still laughing and smiled. She looked beautiful, it was the first time he ever saw her laugh like that."You can stop laughing now" he said and she struggled to seize her laughter. Their eyes met and she blushed."You should take a bath and wash all that off" she said, walking to the closet. She pulled out a bucket and a mop. She entered the bathroom, filled the bucket with water and came out to mop up the coffee."Thanks for helping me clean. I'll take a shower quickly" Logan said and entered the bathroom. Adena stared at him until he disappeared into the bathroom. She was wondering what had come over Logan all of a sudden.He used to be
"What strange man?" Logan asked with a raised eyebrow and Delaney panicked. She was scared and angry at Antoinette for opening her mouth after she had sternly warned her to keep it shut."I saw her a two weeks ago, after you proposed to her. She went to meet a man at your old warehouse near the mall. She gave the man money to keep her secret, and she also sleeps with him" Antoinette revealed, giving everyone present a big shock.Logan turned to Delaney and glared at her.First of all, what secret was she hiding from him?Secondly, he couldn't believe he almost got married to a woman who sleeps around."Delaney, do you mind explaining yourself?" Logan asked, trying to remain calm in the situation. Nobody said anything, they were waiting for Delaney to explain herself."Logan, how could you even believe this servant? She's just delusional because she's worried about her friend" Delaney sounded scared, it was visible in her voice. She blinked at Anastasia in a bid to ask for backup but A
"What are you talking about?" Delaney blinked at Logan who smirked at her. With his hands behind him, he walked over to her, and stood directly over her, peering into her soul, through her eyes. She felt her heart sink into stomach as she struggled to keep eye contact with him."You know exactly what I'm talking about" Logan said in a husky voice. Everyone was surprised and couldn't wait to find out what was happening."Logan, what is this all this embarrassment for? Why are you doing this? First you call of our wedding, now you're belittling me in front of everyone!" Delaney screamed, trying to act like she didn't know what Logan was talking about.Logan chuckled and passed his fingers through his hair."So.. you want to stand here and lie to my face? I hope you haven't forgotten who I am and what I can do to you" he paused and lowered his head to her face, making sure she felt his breath on her."I won't hesitate to have my men strip you and torture you until you talk. So what's it
"She's lost a lot of blood, I'm not sure she will survive. But let's keep hoping" the doctor said and shook his head. Logan nodded and huffed.He had to rush her to the hospital when he saw that she was still breathing. He went with Damon and Buster. Anastasia was petrified at the news and cried bitterly. Logan had to force her to stay at home after she had insisted on coming to the hospital with them.Few minutes later, the doctor came out and informed Logan that Delaney wanted to see him. He followed her immediately to Delaney's ward.She wasn't in a good condition at all. With an oxygen mask over her nose and the monitor reading her heartbeat, it wasn't stable at all. The doctor left to give them some privacy."Delaney" he called, standing over her bed. She smiled weakly and reached out for his hand, with her shivering hand. Logan took her hand and gave it a little squeeze."Thank you" she whispered, taking a deep breath."No, save your breath" he uttered and she blinked weakly at
"Good morning my lady" Adena opened her eyes only to see two servants standing at the foot of her bed, each holding a tray filled with different lotions, perfumes and what looked like clothes.She was surprised because that has never happened before. She wondered what they wanted."Good morning" she rubbed her eyes and sat up on the bed, still covered with a blanket."My lady, it's time for your bath" one of them, the blonde one said. She looked around the room and back at the servants. Were they referring to her? As 'my lady?' "Why?" She asked."Master ordered us to" the dark haired one replied with a smile.Adena was surprised. Why would Logan ask them to give her a bath? What's the special treatment all about?"Um.. okay then" she answered and reluctantly got out of the bed.The ladies led her into the bathroom where they had already run a warm bath. She got rid of her clothes and climbed into the bathtub. The ladies poured in some of the scented oils into the water, and some mi
"Be mine".Adena stared at him endlessly, surprised by the words that just came out of him.He just asked her to be his! She didn't know what to answer to that. What about Tyson? He told her that he'd be back for her. She didn't want to break his heart, for a man that tortured her."I.. I.. um" she stuttered, freeing herself from his strong grip. "We should get going. To the mall" she said and left for the car. Logan sighed and went after her. He promised to do everything he could, to prove to her that he had changed, that he loved her. He knew it wasn't going to be easy, since Adena was just as stubborn as him, but he wasn't going to give up. For once in his life, he would do something, for the sake of love."Ready?" He asked, igniting the car. Adena nodded and they drove off to the mall.Logan was ready to pay for anything that Adena chose and she managed to pick out quite a lot of things. It was her first time there, and the excitement was too much.After shopping, they went to
Logan sat next to Adena in the lobby, where they were waiting for Damon. She turned to him and noticed how pale he looked. She felt bad that he had to risk his mental and emotional health in order to bring her to the hospital. "Are you okay?" She asked. He turned to her and nodded. He shifted his gaze to the glass window, it was still raining, but it wasn't so heavy anymore. "You didn't have to get in the rain because of me" she added, folding her arms across her chest."What should have I done? I had no idea what was wrong with you so I had to bring you here, to make sure you're alright" he explained and she looked away. She didn't like what her heart was doing. It was pulling her to the same man that tortured her.Adena tried to resist, she really tried."Thank you" she murmured and he chuckled at her childish behavior."It's alright, don't thank me. I'm just glad you're fine" he said and she sighed."You should change into some warm clothes, it's cold" she pointed out. Logan look
