- 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
- Missy, please… – he begged, suffocated – No, don't walk away from me. I swear I didn't know she would do that...- Why did you do it then? – Missy asked, more hurt than she had been in her entire life, feeling the tears that ran down her face wet her mouth – Why did she record that video of the two of them and give it to Suzan, knowing how much she wanted to hurt me? Why do all this if not to make myself more vulnerable so you could get me into bed more easily?- What? No, Missy, I never thought so! Please love, believe me! – He continued begging, while a tear began to flow from one of her eyes – I got that video because I wanted proof that you were being betrayed. It was a way to guarantee that neither of them could try to deceive you with lies, in case someone ever told you... - he swallowed hard and Missy realized that that someone was probably himself - That's why I gave her that video and I demanded that they both reveal the truth to you. But I swear, Missy, I never thought she
- Missy, please, you have to eat...!Lifting her heavy eyes, Missy looked down at her sister, completely curled up on the couch, with Rey cuddled against her chest, gently licking her cheek as soon as she realized she'd woken up. A little confused, Missy looked around for a second, wondering why she was back in her old apartment, instead of her new house...That's when she realized: not her home. Logan's house.The man she'd always believed would never be able to hurt her, yet still broke her heart into a million pieces, leaving her with a deadly painful emptiness in her chest and the feeling that she could never be happy again.And, as had been the case for the past two days, her eyes automatically filled with tears, but Missy tried in vain to repress them, so as not to worry Megan any more than she obviously already did. After all, not only had Missy moved back into that apartment, but so had Megan, after the fight with Devon and Logan in the office that had, unfortunately, destroye
Why did it have to be so hard to get him out of your heart? With Liam it had been so easy: he had hurt her, demonstrated that he never loved her and the feeling she had for him had died as quickly as a candle going out. Or maybe that was the main issue: she had never really loved him. But she loved Logan Knight. As she had never loved anyone else.And killing him in her heart would be the opposite of easy. In fact, being honest with herself, it would be impossible.Where did that leave her then? Eternally in love with a man who had been responsible for the worst and best moments of her life? A man who was the father of her child and who she would be forced to live with forever, knowing that she loved him and missed him every day, but also knowing that he was capable of lying and deceiving her just to get it. what he wanted?Which of these antagonistic things was worth more anyway?- Missy?The sound of his voice, so low and brittle, took her so by surprise that she nearly dropped the
I spent all that day charging her, on the verge of a fury and already determined to fire them both, so that I myself could reveal their treachery to you in private, however much that might ruin our newly forged friendship. So when that night came and I found you in the garden, I panicked for a moment, thinking that they had confessed everything and yet you had forgiven them. However, it soon became clear that Foster hadn't been honest yet again, and so I just resigned myself to the fact that she would keep putting it off and I would have to be the bearer of bad news myself, especially when that crazy woman said that her son I had asked you to marry me. I don't think I've ever felt as much desire to tear another human being apart as I did at that moment...Until we heard the commotion in the living room and then it dawned on me. I realized what an idiot I had been to think that someone like Foster would let himself be beaten so easily. And, right before my eyes, she used something I ha
She couldn't breathe.Or at least that was the feeling that the crying crisis was giving her, amid the tears and completely uncontrolled sobs.In her hands, some words from Logan's letter were no longer even legible because of the tears she had shed over them, staining the ink and making it run almost as if the paper was crying too.Always at her side, Rey began to squawk and whine anxiously as she snuggled into the space under her arm, almost as if she were trying to offer her comfort in the form of a hug. Missy, however, wasn't able to do much more than hug the papers to her chest, wishing that the words of Logan's confession could somehow materialize him there, in her arms.Because, in a confusing, maddening way, she wanted him right there, right next to her. So that she could cry for all that he had revealed and for knowing that, however indirectly and unintentionally, he had contributed to one of the worst moments of her life. So she could say that now she understood why he alway
- Oh, Logan... – Missy moaned, running her fingers gently through his hair, consoling him – You don't have to do this. I know you're sorry... And... In a way, I could understand you... Understand your fear. – she revealed, with a sad sigh – Not that that justifies you lying to me for so long, but… I couldn't just ignore the fact that… For a long time, I was afraid of a lot of things too. Fear of imposing myself, fear of facing what hurt me, fear of people's judgment... So I know how paralyzing fear can be sometimes. Even preventing you from doing what you want... Or what you know is the right thing to do. - She completed, watching his eyes burn with pain and guilt - I was disappointed, it's true, that you had surrendered to fear so many times and ended up provoking, even without intending to, not just the situation that happened on that horrible night .. As well as the lie that ended up taking me away from you days ago. But still... I know you've had your own fears your whole life. An
Do not worry. We're both going to the best obstetrician in town tomorrow morning. – Logan said, in a voice that left no room for discussion – Daddy will always take care of you, little one. I promise. – he murmured lovingly, putting her on the bed and gently kissing her belly right after, before turning back to face her, with a mischievous smile spreading across his expression – But first, he has to take care of mom a little too ...- Yes, please... - Missy gasped, needy, before pulling his shirt to her, enveloping them in another almost obscene kiss, which was only interrupted when one of his hands brushed hers, making him stop, looking thrilled.-You're still wearing your ring… – he observed as he stared at her hand, equally delighted and relieved.- I didn't even consider taking it off. – Missy admitted, with a sincere and passionate smile – I think a part of me always is knew that even in the midst of so much pain, we shouldn't part.Opening an ecstatic smile, Logan took her hand
