- Missy! – he panted, sounding terribly worried, while the sudden dizziness she felt already started to pass, allowing her to recover quickly – Are you okay?- It's nothing... I just... - She shook her head, still slightly disoriented, but luckily also with her legs steady again - I felt a little dizzy, all of a sudden... - she admitted, but soon let it go. aside - I'm sure it was just the excitement of the night. Do not worry. She placed a kiss on his jaw, although Logan was still visibly unconvinced.- Are you sure about that? It may be December 25th, but I would be able to get you a doctor as soon as daylight breaks, and...- Logan… - she interrupted his torrent of words, trying to calm him down – I'm fine, I swear. It was just a common malaise. Do not worry. – Wanting to make him relax, she brushed her lips gently against his, in a kiss that was almost a caress, as well as a promise – You know what I would really like to know? I wanted to find out if it's true that Santa Claus is
"Megan, you have to stop sending me so many wedding magazines, or I'm going to get buried in them." Missy laughed as her cab pulled up.- I can not avoid. Planning a wedding is so much fun, yet it's so complicated... - Megan sighed dramatically on the other side of the line - I had forgotten how there are millions of possibilities for every little thing and how difficult it is to choose... - Your sister turned lamented – Please tell me that you have already arrived.- Yes I arrived. - Missy laughed even more, as she got out of the car to the agency's sidewalk - But, Megan, take it easy. Logan and I haven't even set a date yet. No need to worry about all those little details...- Of course I do! – Her sister disagreed, sounding sullen – Worrying about it now means having less headaches when we really need to order everything. After all, it's not like two millionaires can't throw a party full of all the best, is it? Megan teased her.With an inward sigh, Missy just shrugged her shoulder
- Do you really think you and Knight will go far? - Liam half growled and half mocked, but she didn't even turn around. With a secret smile, she just ran her fingers over the ring on her right hand, not even flinching as she took a few more steps away from him – You might think you've become badass since we broke up, but the truth is, you're still the same sucker ever! – still without letting herself down, Missy ignored him solemnly, continuing to walk, approaching the agency's door, until he shouted something that made her freeze – So know that your perfect boyfriend also has shit with Suzan! That's right! - The victorious smile was audible in his euphoric voice, especially when Missy remained still, perplexed - I saw her entering, to go to Knight's office, with a shitty smile on her face. She always said she knew some dirt on him and I don't doubt they're both fucking behind her back, just like I did!For a second, a part of Missy actually cringed inwardly at those words, but in the
- So... - She smiled crookedly, deciding to ask that last question so that Logan could answer her honestly again and, thus, she could get over that subject completely. After all, what concrete reasons did she have to distrust Logan? - If anything else had happened between you and Suzan... You would tell me, right?However, to her complete surprise, his answer didn't come immediately, as she expected. Instead, Logan stiffened, almost as if that question had been like a slap in the face, and for a few seconds he just watched her, looking lost and scared, almost vulnerable. And so he remained for several seconds, his troubled eyes focused on hers as his Adam's apple quivered, until finally, looking more haggard than ever, he began to sigh.- Missy... - he swallowed hard, almost as if there was a stone in his throat - I... Actually, there's something I need...- And I better never see your face around here again!The sound of Megan's angry scream startled them both, making Missy jump a li
- What do you think Missy? Missy...? Missy! - Megan's voice suddenly stopped being a distant hum and became a loud exclamation - Can you hear me?- Oh... I'm sorry, Megan. - Jumping a little in the armchair she was sitting in, Missy shook her head vehemently, forcing herself to concentrate - I got distracted.- You're more than just distracted today... - Megan commented slowly, raising an eyebrow suggestively - Did something happen?For a moment, Missy wondered if she should tell Megan about the suspicions that had been bothering her since the day before, when she'd found Suzan leaving Logan's office and he'd started acting so strangely. Even though he continued to insist that he hadn't planned on saying anything important to her the moment he was interrupted by Devon and Megan's arrival, still the turmoil was clear in his face when they returned home later that day: the way he stared at her with desolation when he thought she wasn't looking; the worry that distorted her features; the
Still standing at the sink, freshly washed toothbrush in her hands, Missy's mind went blank for a moment, unable to even process what Megan had just said. For a second, her first instinct was to confirm… But the truth was, she wasn't. Not since that first month, when she and Logan had just gotten involved and she still believed that everything between them was nothing more than a simple friendship and a lot of casual sex... But then came the complicity, the closeness, the feeling... It was almost laughable how obvious it was now that she had started to fall in love already at the end of that first month, becoming so needy just being next to him and feeling him inside her...That she hadn't even bothered to remember to do something to not get pregnant.Heavens... How had she not noticed before? She was tired, nauseous, feeling dizzy and...- Oh my God...! – Missy gasped, in shock – I can't even remember the last time I had my period! - she panted, hyperventilating - Could it be that I'
- For the last time, Ms. Foster...! – one of the security guards roared, looking irritated and at the same time exhausted – We and Mr. Knight, we've already made it clear that you must leave the building in complete silence if you don't want us to call the police for breaking in... Again.- You are so dramatic! – Suzan rolled her eyes – I'm just saying hello to my old friend. You know, honey, you really need to talk to your man a little... He has a serious stubbornness problem. And also out of ingratitude, if I may say so... - She stopped walking when she got close to the two, giving her an annoyed smile.- Move, Ms. Foster! – the other security guard growled, looking much more impatient than his colleague.- I'm going! I just want to open my dear friend's eyes a little to the kind of man she has by her side. – Suzan shrugged, before opening a venomously friendly smile in Missy’s direction – I mean, I know some women think controlling types are sexy of course, but I honestly wouldn’t
- What did you say? Megan asked, her voice choked.Missy, on the other hand, just remained frozen beside her, unable to believe what Suzan had just said.- Oh, don't pretend you didn't hear. – Suzan laughed, relaxed – Logan was part of my plan to separate you from Liam all along. In fact, he was the one who gave me all the weapons I needed. - She shrugged, satisfied - Some time ago, he caught me and Liam in a compromising position in one of the studios and, well, I never could understand why he looked so angry that that idiot was cheating on you. – She scrutinized Missy up and down shrewdly – At first I thought he saw it as something that could hurt the fragile little heart of a poor thing he considered family… And, for that, we denied that we had anything, of course . No one wants to piss off the boss, after all. But one day he just walked up to me and threw all those pictures and video at me. And he said I should do something with it. – Suzan smirked, making Missy's stomach turn – S
