189: Seduction Art

LOGAN

Three days that felt like forever ago passed, and the guilt hovering wickedly in my chest grew by the second, nearly tearing me apart.

The next day after being caught fondling Scarlett’s body, Ashley swore that all was forgiven and forgotten as long as I promised that it wouldn’t affect our engagement or marriage.

Since I couldn’t blatantly tell her that I’d lost feelings for her over a month ago and had no control over what I felt for Scarlett, I agreed to her terms and began to create a healthy distance between myself and Scarlett at work despite how much it hurt to do so.

The worst part of it all is that Ashley turned down the contract after that incident and the breathing space I was hoping to get from her traveling was lost. She was scared of losing me to Scarlett in her absence and didn't care that a contract like that would boost her career in countless ways.

I was still going over the events of the last few days in my head when a soft knock on my door distracted me.
