Chapter 9: Chase"Calvin's outside the classroom, Brielle." Adriana sighed before sitting beside me as she crossed her arms in an annoyed way. "I don't even know why he still wants to see you after everything that he did to you. That pighead." She added.I couldn't help but to chuckle when I saw her reactions. This girl's too cute to be annoyed this way. It's rare to see her act like this. It's been days ever since I married Logan Achilles. Everything was going fine, I guess? The company that my father built is now surging up high. Finally, the blood, sweet and tears that he sacrificed for the company that he built is finally back on its track. And this time, I knew for sure that it will continue to surge up high as long as I am tied with Logan, and as long as the company will build its own stronger and new foundation.It will never fall again into the mud, hopefully. It's been days since the brute failed his deal with his...investor which he really did blamed me of. Up until now, w
Chapter 9.1: The InvestorCalvin didn't stop there. He did a lot of things just to prove that he was right all along. That I will come back to his arms because I love him, still. He tried everything just to have me back, because he really did think that he only needs to gain my trust back by courting me everyday.It has been stressing me out, but I couldn't do anything to stop him. I tried to stab and throw him my poisonous words, but he still won't stop. In fact, that made him even more resilient and persistent. He stood by his decision to court me, because he believed that it is the only thing I needed for us to get back together again.The jerk's face is as thick as a whole thesaurus dictionary."I heard you're being courted by your ex boyfriend...again." I turned my head towards Logan. He's now sitting on the bed, leaning on the headboard. The laptop was on his lap and he was busy typing something in it, as usual. Probably about his work again. Or maybe it was his...investor. I
Chapter 10: Dean's Office"So, your husband is fortunately the new investor of our University, huh? And, he even donated a lot of money. Like, a lot of that in our school..." Adi crouched down and smiled at me. She raised her brows alternately like she knew something that anyone didn't, even me. "Tell me, how rich is your husband, really? I searched him in Google one time, and it says that he has a net worth of $190 billion, but another source said that his net worth is actually more than that."I slightly frowned at Adi and then, shook my head. Actually, it quite surprised me to know about his net worth, but at the same time, I already expected that too. His family is already one of the richest around the world, not just in town. It's just that, the Sullivan's doesn't want too much attention that much, so they don't really appear in social gatherings with the other socialites. They value privacy that all the news that comes out in the public were all reviewed by them before they even
Chapter 11: Familiar"Quick! Fix yourself, Logan! Oh my God!" I whispered-yelled at him as I quickly got off from the Dean's table. Everything only sunk in to me right after I heard the Dean's voice outside her own office. And I couldn't almost believe that Logan and I really did had sex inside the Dean's office! Oh my freaking hell!Logan held my hand like he wants me to calm down and be steady, so I glared at him. "What are you doing?" I gritted my teeth. I am feeling so nervous right now, but on the top of that, I feel extremely embarrassed with what happened! This is fucking embarrassing! I shouldn't have just let Logan touched me or kissed me! "I'm gonna have to wipe you first, baby. My juices are all over your legs—""Then make it faster!" I feel like crying as he dropped on his knees and wiped my legs with the tissue he was already holding. I bit my lower lip while looking at the closed door. This is all Logan's fault! If he didn't seduced me, then we won't surely end up li
Chapter 12: HomeFor some unknown reason, I couldn't stop thinking about the woman that I just saw outside the village. Even when we arrived in front of my father's house, which is my house too back then before I got married to Logan, I couldn't still get the lady off my head. I don't exactly know why curiousity started to build up inside my head the longer that I think about the lady. I was sure that I don't know her personally, but there is a familiarity that I felt when I stared at her earlier. And I don't understand why."You're silent. Are you okay, wife?" Logan couldn't help but to ask anymore. He must've felt my awkward silence. Well, I was silent for the whole ride actually, but I was answering some of his questions with a nod. It's just that, I became even more silent when we arrived. We are still inside his car, parked in front of my home. We didn't get out first because he was waiting for me to respond to him. As what I've said, he thought that I wasn't feeling fine toda
Chapter 13: MotherGrowing up without your mother by your side was hard, I admit it. I have never felt what it really felt like to have a mother beside you who's supposed to guide and take care of you as you grow up. I never felt being taken care of by my mother, because she left us, she left me at my very young age.I grow up envious of the kids around me who has their mother beside them. Their mother who send them to the school everyday, kiss them and wish them good luck in school. I want to experience the same feeling that the girls felt whenever their mother braids their hair, and make sure that they're well and neat whenever they go to school. That's just some of the things that I missed as I grow up. I missed of being able to feel that from my own mother.But, you know what? Despite of everything that happened. I grew up still contented of just having my Dad because I know that he did everything for me not to feel like we lack of someone in our lives. Dad worked so hard to lif
Chapter 14: Bond“Thank you so much for giving me a chance to make it up to you, Brielle...” I pursed my lips and nodded at her. Two days after I walked out of that restaurant, I never talked with Logan or my father about it. I was still mad at them for going ahead of my own decision. They just decided for me. They didn’t bother consulting me about their plans, thinking that it would make me happy. But it didn’t, obviously. And that was all enough for me to be mad at them. Logan apologized to me. He realized his mistake and even though he tried to say sorry to me at home, I never really listened. At all. I pretend that I was deaf, because that’s what I always tend to do whenever things get so messed up and I don’t want to listen to anyone but myself.And I am here, right now, in front of the woman who gave birth to me, not to forgive her nor to apologize for how I acted days ago, but to give it a try. She said she’s going to make it up with me, and although I don’t need such, I think
Chapter 15: Stepdaughter"What's your problem, Kiera? You've been so cold to me these past few days. What did I do wrong—""Stop annoying me right now, Logan Achilles, seriously? Stop!" I exclaimed before turning my back at him. "Can't you see? I am making a PowerPoint presentation right now for my project so please, spare me with your shits,"I heard his frustrated sigh behind me. I am now sitting on the edge of the bed. I dragged the table near it, so I could do my project properly. I didn't expect for Logan to come here tonight. I mean, for the past few nights, he started sleeping in the guestroom because he know I was still mad at him. And he, being the most understanding husband that he is, he decided to give me a space again. And the only solution that he found is by sleeping in the guestroom... again. Little did he know, I became more irritated with what he did.Like, why would he do that in the first place? I didn't ask him to do that! I didn't asked him to distance himself f
