Logan stayed quiet as Rhea said all she felt in her heart, and every bitter word was like a sharp slice to his heart. He knew he had some issues concerning his mixed up feelings, but when he made love to her, he didn’t regret a thing nor did he feel ashamed. Since that night, he had been thinking about their moments more than anything. He had never been with anyone who made him feel that way or even lose control like he did. Everything he did that night came straight from his heart and now the woman was accusing him of taking advantage of her
“You know that’s not true”Logan whispered as he tried to reach for her, but Rhea shrugged him off as more tears rained down her cheeks. It was enough when he suggested marrying her, but he had no rights to take advantage of her miserable state like he did. To him, she was just a toy to be used for his benefits but to her, the night they shared was exceptional to her something she wished to have for the rest of her life
“Stop denying it because… because you did everything to your advantage… all you fucking did was use me”she yelled with sobs while hitting her fist on his chest and Logan held her hand his time even when she tried to struggle out of his grip, he didn’t dare let go of her but pulled her close to him and wrapped his arm tightly around her waist as their eyes met
“Yes I want my wealth back, and I would do whatever I have to do, so I can get it back… and I’m only doing this for my child and wife”Logan remarked in a cold tone as his eyes showed nothing but anger, Rhea looked at him as more tears lingered in her eyes. He just admitted it himself, as if she wasn’t already hurt. It was true he was a jerk who didn’t care about anyone other than his interest
“I hate you”Rhea mutterred in frustration however logan didn’t seem to care
“What can you do huh… or do you expect me to beg you or plead before you Rhea? ” His voice was full of mockery, such that Rhea felt like the man before her was an entirely different person. But Logan kept his cold gaze on her as he prepared to say more,
“You don’t deserve anything… let me go!”she said through gritted teeth and tried to get away from him and from everyone. How on earth did she get so careless to let such a shameless bastard touch her in this way. She was a complete fool,
“You won’t get away from me Rhea… if you think I used you, then that’s your problem… I lost once but not this time”Logan said word by word as his word sunk deep into Rhea’s ears, if it was the old logan, she would have thought he was playing around, but this one had a cold deadly expression on his face as he held her even more tight. She was way too close to him and could feel his heartbeat since her hand was resting on his chest
“Such a shameless bastard… let me go!”she said with fury and pushed him away so much that Logan let go of her and stumbled back, however regained his composure. Rhea was breathing heavily out of anger, hating every moment the man was standing before her
“Mrs Martinez, welcome to my world”Logan remarked with a smirk and walked to the door ready to leave but turned towards rhea and added “and welcome to my old room… we’ll stay here for the night… get some rest”he said that and immediately left the room and closed the door. Rhea was irritated as she screamed in a low voice because she wanted to skin the man alive. He was a shameless her who thought he was some kind, but she wasn’t going to lose it, she was pregnant, and hence it would be a risk to get angry over a minor issue however she promised to make his life a living nightmare
Rhea sat on the bed blankly staring at herself in the mirror. Everything had changed, so suddenly she only guessed she was expecting,, but now the doctor proved it to her that she was going to have a little baby. She didn’t whether to be happy or sad but one thing was certain, the little one in her belly was special, special
“Although your dad… is an incompetent moron”she muttered just as she heard a knock on the door and wondered if Logan had come back hence she darkened her expression and rose from the bed to open the door but just then it opened and Logan’s mom walked in with a smile on her face
“Hello dear… I thought you were asleep, but I’m glad you are not”Annie walked in with a try a containing a bowl and Rhea guessed it was soup
“No… no I couldn’t sleep”rhea muttered and Annie just smiled even more and made her sit. Rhea could see the glimmer in her mother-in-law’s eyes and knew she was genuinely happy to be having a grandchild,
“We are so happy about this… I’m going to be a grandma, and it’s all thanks to you Rhea ”Annie remarked with a grin and handed Rhea the bowl of soup and Rhea took it not sure what to say. The lady was nice and thrilled Rhea smiled even if she had no appetite to eat anything she decided to have the soup for the lady
Logan’s mom stayed until Rhea had forced herself to eat the soup, only then did she get up from the sofa and smiled at her
“Get some rest… everyone already left… Logan is with his father so when he’s done, he’ll be here ” Annie said as she walked to the door and Rhea only nodded with a faint smile and watched as the lady left the room and closed the door. With a heavy sigh, Rhea got up from the sofa and walked to the open window as she stared out looking at the sky which was bright with tiny stars twinkling. Everything has changed so suddenly more than she expected or planned, how on earth did she end up pregnant with Logan’s child of all men
“Damn Mario and Angelo”she cursed because it was their fault she was in such a situation. If she didn’t agree to their ridiculous plan,, then she wouldn’t have been close to Logan and actually slept with him. As much as the thought of Logan and her getting all passionate made her inside turn with butterflies swarming all round, she still felt ashamed of her deed. The past two weeks she didn’t even dare look him in the eyes, although she maintained the same demeanor towards him like always, she still did give herself to him, willing
Rhea didn’t stay awake for long, and hence she quickly took a hot shower because she was exhausted not sure if it was due to her pregnancy or what, but she just wanted to take a shower to cool off
“Oh no”she facepalmed herself because she had nothing to wear, and she couldn’t wear the party dress again, so she chose to do the worst and that was by wearing one of Logan’s clean shirts she found in the closet and to her luck she found a large brown cotton sweater which she liked and immediately wore it. It was just perfect for her because it reached mid-thigh high and very comfy, not just that, but it had his scent all over which made it even special.
Time passed by and Rhea had already fallen asleep on the bed and by the time Logan got back from having a long conversation with his father and anyone could guess what it was all about, the old man was a million times happy to hear he was going to have a grandchild hence with immediate effect, the old man returned all his fortune just like that. Although he wasn’t as excited as he was to have his fortune back he still went with the flow
Logan was done taking a shower and walked to the bed drying his hair only to throw the towel on the dressing table and sat beside Rhea who was sleeping on her back with her hand carelessly to her side
“I won’t leave you… I promise”he murmured and put her hand carefully. She was sleeping peacefully. Logan couldn’t help but smile as he caressed her face and pushed a few strands of hair off her face as he recalled their first encounter. Although she seemed not to care after, he knew what happened between them can’t be an excuse for confusion or doing things without thinking. Everything they did both were totally aware of.
