Chapter 01 - The Man Who Hated Missy Sutton (Part 4)
Last Updated:
2023-02-11 09:17:30- Why? she asked in surprise.
- Nothing. – Logan growled, shaking his head gently, as if he wanted to get some idea out of his head, before turning his attention to her again and shrugging, his voice acquiring a casual tone again – I forgot your sister mentioned today's date when you talked about it. I just thought this party had already happened a long time ago.
Megan had spoken to Logan about the party? Weird...
- So... – her confused thoughts were interrupted when he continued to speak, almost fearfully – It's at seven, isn't it? I was thinking of catching a ride with Devon and Megan since I don't know exactly where Mrs. Newton...
- You go? The question, spoken with nothing but sheer bewilderment, escaped her lips before she could stop herself.
Logan was going to Lauren's party? But why? It wasn't an event that directly involved the Knights. Of course, she had invited the whole Devon family, because she loved them too and, considering them part of her own family, would love for them to be there, – something Lauren was also completely in favor of, as they were the type rich and influential person she loved to hang out with - but Logan Knight? He could barely breathe the same air as her. Why would he want to attend an event that was only important to his mother-in-law and her boyfriend?
- You do not want me to go?
Seeing him ask that so sadly, almost hurt, Missy's stunned thoughts suddenly turned to regret. Hurrying up a smile, she vehemently denied it, eager to wipe that disconsolate expression off his face, even though it was incomprehensible to her why he would react the way he did.
- Of course not! I would love for you to come! – she stated, widening her smile in the process, happy with the prospect that maybe the time had come when she and Devon's brother could finally live in peace.
However, as soon as she said that, to her complete astonishment, his hitherto serious expression broke into a crooked, almost affectionate smile, and for a minute Missy found herself absurdly dazzled, almost disoriented. Of course, she had noticed how handsome Logan Knight was since she first saw him. But it would be strange if she hadn't noticed. After all, he was easily one of the most handsome men in the world. Megan had even mentioned that he had officially won that title, given by some very famous magazine, and more than once, even. Missy herself remembered seeing his face several times over the years, before he retired, when Logan was still one of the most in-demand models in the world, in numerous commercials and billboards around the country, as a poster boy for famous and luxury brands. She knew that it was with his exceptional good looks that he had made his fame and fortune as a model from an early age, before founding the agency at just 20 years old, making his brothers his partners a few years later. After all, that was a story she had heard Devon tell many times, so proud of his brother.
However, what no one had told her, and which she obviously had never had the opportunity to see with his own eyes until then, was how much Logan Knight was even more impossibly beautiful when he smiled. And not just beautiful, like a flower bud or a cute puppy, but…attractive. Extremely attractive. So absolutely breathtaking that, almost with horror, she realized that looking at him was making her feel…weird.
Damn it, she had to stop this. In fact, she thought she'd managed to let go of that kind of disconcerting feeling at the height of those first few days two years ago when she'd first met him. She'd found boys cute before, but she'd never felt… shivering like she had when she saw Logan's face for the first time. Fortunately, she had managed to suppress those strange and unheard-of reactions, until they had simply disappeared completely and she saw him only as her brother-in-law's grumpy brother who inexplicably loathed her.
Or at least she thought they were gone.
Heavens, she had never imagined such beauty could exist. Or that such beauty could have such strange effects on her.
Wait, what was she thinking? Those reactions had to go away again. She had a boyfriend. How would she feel if she knew Liam was looking at someone the way she was looking at Logan? And feeling... Those indecipherable sensations? Yes, surely she had to get her focus back together enough to look back at him without that weird haze of wonder.
As if she'd taken pity on her, the program finally completed its installation in full, allowing her to get out of there and get her head in the right place.
- Well, I think it's all settled now. – She informed him, trying to disguise her nervousness as she smiled, avoiding looking at him directly, knowing that an intense blush was coloring her cheeks – Next time something like this happens, don't worry. The files will most likely just be in the trash. A single click and they will be restored. – she explained, while getting up – And, of course, any other problem, you can call me. – Moving a few steps away from him, she waved and smiled shyly.
Serious and silent, Logan continued to stare at her intently for several minutes, his expression completely impassive, which only served to make her even more nervous and disconcerted, until he finally spoke again, letting out a deep sigh as he returned to his seat. feel in your chair.
- Thanks for the help, Missy.
- It was nothing. – she swallowed – So, um… See you tonight?
When he looked at her again, he didn't look happy or even angry, just oddly... Sad, maybe? Or maybe it was just the despondency caused by tiredness after a long day at work. Anyway, he just gave a small smile that didn't reach her eyes, like the previous smile had, and confirmed it.
- Of course. Until then.
With one last uncertain smile, Missy made her way out of his office, internally wondering what Megan would say when she learned that Logan finally seemed to have learned to live civilly with her... Well, anyway, that was good news. . Now, all she had to do was learn not to overreact to those incredible, disconcerting smiles...
Okay, maybe the first step would be to simply not think about them, in case she didn't want to feel so inexplicably...
Hot.

To her immense relief, as soon as she opened the door, Missy saw that Lucy Sinclair, Emily Gray and Angela Harris were standing in front of Simon's desk, talking animatedly with him. The four waved as soon as they saw her for her to come over, which Missy did immediately. Her friends were always the best company and if she wanted to dispel those disturbing thoughts, they would certainly help her a lot. - And then? Knight asked you to turn his entire office into a computer so he could work an extra 28 hours a day? Lucy asked with a mocking laugh as she approached. - I hope not. – Simon sighed, running his hands through his dark hair – Or that means I'm going to have to work too, if I want to keep his schedule organized. - I don't know why they criticize so much the fact that Mr. Knight being a workaholic. – Angela laughed – It could be worse: he could force us to be too. - Oh, come on... Was he more Miranda Priestly or the demon from the Conjuring today? - Lucy encouraged Missy to s

It was odd because she didn't feel like she should apologize, but if he was that pissed off, maybe, who knows, she shouldn't? Her relationship with Liam had always been pretty smooth and, after that first fight, Missy was a little unsure of how she should proceed. Normally, she would ask Megan, but the thought of telling her sister that her first attempt at sex had turned into such a disaster made Missy feel her face burn with embarrassment. And then there was the fact that Megan would certainly be pissed to learn how badly Liam had reacted and especially about the horrible things he'd said to her. Not that Missy hadn't been pretty hurt too, and even a little angry, after the shock of seeing him scream like that had worn off, but it was normal for couples to fight, right? It would be silly of her to want everything to always be a bed of roses and for them to never have conflicts. After all, her entire relationship with Liam had been pretty smooth up until that point. Of course, it was

In a hurry, Missy ran to get her purse from her office and hail a car to take her to her apartment, which, thankfully, didn't take as long as she feared. On the way, she checked her messages again and, although she wasn't surprised, it was inevitable not to feel sadly disappointed when she realized that, again, Liam had viewed and not replied to any of her messages, including the ones where she told him that she had met with Suzan and left the car for them. And even though she knew it would be pointless, she sent one more message, asking if they could have a chat after Lauren's party was over. As usual, even when she finally set foot in her condo on the elevator on her way home, there was still no response. In fact, there wasn't even a preview this time. Of course, he must have been working at that time, but still... That situation was becoming untenable. She knew he was upset, but… didn't he like her enough to want to make amends? Fortunately, her turbulent thoughts were interrupt

- I can't believe you came dressed like that! Taken aback, Missy jumped a little in fright at her mother-in-law's furious exclamation, who lunged at her as soon as Missy walked through the door, appraising her clothes with obvious annoyance. Surprised, Missy noticed that Lauren Newton was wearing a long gown, similar to an evening dress, although it was easily identifiable that it was a rental dress, as some parts were quite worn, especially the hem and sleeves. The relief Missy had felt upon seeing her car parked in the driveway, and realizing that Liam had already arrived at his mother's house, dissipated somewhat when she wondered why her mother-in-law was dressed so formally, especially with the addition of that heavy makeup. , as if she was about to go to a wedding. - But didn't I say a thousand times that this party would be classy? How could you come dressed like you were going to the park for ice cream? her mother-in-law snapped, stomping her feet hard on the ground as soon a

As she turned, she saw the Knight twins standing a few feet away, both with haggard, almost tortured expressions, as Mrs. Newton was gesturing excitedly about something. In fact, they looked like they were literally cornered by her, as they were standing together and huddled in one corner of the room, with Lauren standing so close to the two of them that she was blocking any exit they might have. - Oh, no... - Missy lamented, knowing that surely her mother-in-law was taking advantage of that moment to talk about luxury, fortune and all those other subjects that she loved so much, especially when it came to talking to two consecrated names in the modeling industry . "I think I'll go there..." - Save them. - Lucy amended. - Hmmm... I'll just ask where are the dumplings I made. – She tried to explain herself, even though she knew Lucy was right. Lauren could be quite exasperating at times, that was a fact, and if the Knights were here, obviously forcing themselves to endure a monologue

All the horrible things he'd said… They didn't make it seem like Liam was in love with her. In fact, they made it seem almost as if he'd been spending all that time with her just waiting for the moment when they would have sex… Which was why her refusal had infuriated him so much. As if she had taken away from him the only good thing he could ever have with her. But if he wanted to get married, then had she got it all wrong? He had reacted that way, hurt her that way… Why was he nervous about the marriage proposal? However, the main reason the floor seemed to disappear from under her feet was that... She wasn't prepared. She wanted to try to work things out with Liam and move forward with their relationship. Maybe, in time, she could come to want him the way he wanted so much. Perhaps she even could tell that she was in love with him. Or even that she loved him. But not at that moment. Not that night. She I still didn't feel any of that, after all. And she couldn't say yes to him.

Logan Knight was there. She had completely forgotten that he had said he would come. But why was he standing in the Newtons' back garden instead of inside at the party? - Missy? Are you okay? he asked, looking worried, still keeping his arms around her, although it was obvious that there was no longer any risk of her falling. Blushing, Missy swallowed, nervously trying to look away from his eyes, which seemed to almost glow in the moonlight. Heavens, the way the man was handsome was almost crippling at times. - I... I'm fine. she stammered, shyly squirming within his embrace. Perhaps it was good that he had stopped her in her mindless flight. She needed to breathe some fresh air and calm down enough to be able to get back to Liam and Lauren and make them understand that she didn't feel ready for a step as big as a wedding. They certainly should be furious with her, maybe even with some reason, but... Eventually they would understand she couldn't accept something of the magnitude

- Uh, it's okay if you don't want to come in. – she hurried to try to stop him, since obviously the event inside had not only angered him, but also disturbed him. - It is not alright. - He gave another heavy sigh, before, to his complete surprise, turning his face a little, so he could smile sweetly at her - Actually, I'm glad I met you. Maybe this way we can finally talk properly... Like the friends we are. He nodded and opened the door, allowing her to enter first, looking genuinely happy at the prospect of them talking. Missy cracked a smile, and as soon as they had both walked far enough to be back in the Newtons' hallway, she was about to speak again, when Mrs. Newton, appearing like a bolt of lightning from inside the living room towards the entrance hall, interrupted her. - There you are! – her mother-in-law roared, more enraged than she ever remembered seeing, advancing towards where they were as if she was really planning to wrap her hands around Missy's neck – We've been l

Smiling a small contented smile, Hope visibly relaxed for a moment, but then the nervousness seemed to take over her small body again, as Missy led them to the large counter, where the old man greeted them warmly.-We… Hmmm… – Hope stammered nervously, hugging Missy with more and more desperation – We wanted an ice cream… Huh… – Her little daughter was getting more and more insecure, looking at her as if she was begging for help.- I would like a strawberry ice cream, please. – Missy asked softly, as she remembered saying when she was a little girl so terribly shy that she could barely ask anything from people she didn't know – And you, my love? she asked Hope, with a smile full of encouragement, for her to keep talking.- I want chocolate... Please. – Hope whispered, completely blushing, before burying her face in her mother's shoulder quickly.- Well, what a polite little girl... – the gentleman smiled, while picking up some glass bowls – You must be very proud to have such a kind d

Once in her arms, Hope lifted her tear-stained little face to look at her, initially looking surprised to see her mother there, but then her expression distorted into a sad sob and she buried her head against Missy's chest, panting.-Mommy... – her little baby wailed, making Missy's heart sink even more – Mommy... Mommy...- It's okay, my sweetheart. – Missy tried to console her, running her hands through her soft hair, while she continued to say, in a low and gentle voice, almost as if she were singing a lullaby to her, as she did every night – Mommy is here, don't worry. It's going to be okay... - she waited until Hope's cries went from copious to just a few sad sobs, before finally asking - Hope, what happened? – she caressed her cheek until she convinced her to look up – Why are you crying, little angel?Hope's little mouth quivered a few times before she finally sniffled, her little blue eyes filled with such sadness that Missy found herself kissing her little cheek over and over

Stealthily, Missy looked through the window.Inside, in the huge classroom, several children seemed to be copying something into their notebooks while chatting animatedly. And, of course, it wasn't hard for her to find her children, as usual, sitting in the chairs at the corner of the wall, not too close and also not far from the teacher, where she remembered also liking to be, when she was in the 4th grade. year, like them. Jonathan had his back turned in his chair, looking at his brother in the back seat, while Tristan was showing him something that looked very interesting on the portable video game he was holding. With an amused sigh, Missy tried to convince herself that at least they were doing that after they had finished their homework, as the open pages of their notebooks were visibly written all over the desks.In fact, she truly took pride in the fact that they were only ten years old and yet they were centered and obedient enough to keep up well in school, despite all the lo

Now, he was able to do so much more besides being afraid. He was capable of being brave. To face what he feared. Of fighting to live the joys that were to come, even in the midst of tragedies. And now, more than ever, he knew he was able to see his family's legacy for what it really was, not a curse. He would be able to spend the rest of his life talking about him in a hopeful and balanced way to his children, as he had that day, and as his parents and grandfather had done to him in his childhood.Even if there was still the fear of what could happen to their babies in the future.- Are you OK love?Surprised by that whisper, Logan turned to see Missy dressed in a long cotton Hello Kitty nightgown, already without makeup and with her long brown hair loose, approaching him and Hope, who began to babble softly and extend her little arms towards the mother. Smiling, Missy took her little girl and offered her the breast, leaving the baby immediately calmer as she watched Logan's face with

- And... - the desperation in Foster's voice was so deep that Logan almost felt sorry for her... Almost - How much exactly is this debt?- Come with me, Ms. Foster. - Mr. Ramzi sighed – Something tells me that your next fainting spell will not be false, when we finish talking.- H-hey, I'm sure we can work it out, right? - Logan thought she was trying to sound sensual, in the midst of dread - I mean, there are so many other better things in life than money... Why don't we go to a more private place and I...?- Oh, don't worry, Ms. Foster. - again, Mr. Ramzi interrupted her, perfectly calm and measured - The only person who will be where we are going is my wife, one of the main people responsible for the hotel's accounting.Still a little dazed by everything he had just heard, Logan remained staring at Missy's equally shocked face, until the voices of Foster and the hotel manager were lost in the night, leaving them alone again, hidden among the shadows .- Heavens, I had no idea that

- What? - Suzan repeated, seeming to be choking - No, that's impossible! His family has a lot of money! That's how we paid for the trip and the hotel!- Funny... - Stra. Kobayashi gave Suzan one more look from under his lashes - I could have sworn he told us he came to the hotel on account of a donation from one of his investors...- Investors? - Suzan gasped, irritated – But we came here so he could get investors and...! - Realizing that everyone was looking at her with interest, Foster suddenly stopped talking, getting up from the table with a sour expression - If you'll excuse me, I think the drink made me sick. I am a little confuse. I'm going to bed for the rest of the night. - and so, without saying goodbye, Foster stomped out of the hall, probably in search of the groom who apparently no one knew exactly who he was or where he came from, including Suzan herself.- What an interesting situation, isn't it? - was all that Mr. Montenegro commented, with a veiled smile, a second bef

- And, allow me to say, what a beautiful dress, Stra. Knight. - Suzan interrupted him with a mean smile - It looks so modern, with that rounded silhouette and that blunt skirt. Anyone with no aesthetic taste could even say that his seamstress deserved a scolding...- Suzan! - her companion gasped, looking suddenly possessed, before quickly recovering, putting that artificially sympathetic expression back on her face – Forgive me, Stra. Knight. My dear fiancée Suzan comes from a humble background and sometimes fumbles with the meaning of some words, causing some indiscretions. - solemnly ignoring the revolted look that Foster threw at him, the man made that criticism facing Missy directly, with a seductive smile that was making Logan increasingly enraged - Why don't we continue our conversation that afternoon about investments, Stra. Knight? It would be a pleasure to hear the advice of such a refined and thoughtful lady again. If I may say so, even a party as exquisite as this isn't en

- I perceived. - Missy laughed - But I'm relieved that you five are fine. I was worried when I got to the room and found no one. - taking Hope in her arms, she looked at him with curiosity - But, what made you so distracted?- A ghost of Christmas past. - several of them actually, but Logan didn't add that comment as he continued to explain, realizing that Missy had become even more confused – Newton and Foster are here at the hotel, too. – he added cautiously, with a sigh.- Liam and Suzan? - Missy choked, stunned.- Yes, unfortunately. He is one of the employees at the hotel and she is apparently here because she has become the mistress of a rich man. - Logan rolled his eyes full of contempt - A man who, by the way, was in the same meeting as you, apparently. - he shrugged, while Missy blinked a few times, still shocked.- Heavens... I confess that of all the things I thought could happen when we were invited to visit the United Arab Emirates, this was the last of them. - to his tot

He was selfish. It was malicious. It was a plan full of ulterior motives. Damn, it was even a new lie, as he wasn't being completely truthful with Missy that her main motivation was just to help her get revenge. Yet he had impulsively proposed it to her, letting himself think only with his heart for the first time in his life.And, as if his heart thought the situation wasn't already complicated enough, he had given in to the impulse to confess his physical desire for her and kiss her for the first time right there, in the middle of her kitchen, even though he knew perfectly well that that it was far from the right time for them to share that kind of intimacy. Still, none of those conflicting emotions had been able to erase the emotion of that moment, when he finally knew the sweet taste of her lips and the softness of the curves of her delicious body, feeling a powerful wave of emotion and contentment run through him as he realized that she wanted him too. Damn it, with his mind as c
