Willow's POV

Before I could even react to the complete 180 change in Adonis, Logan stormed up to the table. His face was ashen as he pointed at Adonis.

“Who the hell is he?” Logan demanded. “Your lover? I knew it. No wonder you were so eager to move out. You’ve been cheating on me.”

Adonis stood up suddenly, his chair making a loud noise as it dragged across the floor, causing other patrons to turn their heads towards us. Adonis’ entire demeanor changed. His playful eyes were sharp now and he glared at Logan, standing about two inches taller than him, an imposing figure.

“You have no right to accuse Willow of cheating. From what I understand, it was YOU who betrayed HER.”

Adonis’ voice was low and authoritative. He was pretty damn good at pretending to be straight.

Logan’s face contorted into a look of rage.

“You’re her lover, aren’t you,” Logan seethed.

Adonis displayed a provocative smile.

“Not yet,” he said with a taunting tone. “But I admire Willow very much. What’s not to love? Sh

    Willow's POVAt the mention of Luigi’s name, Logan was completely dumbfounded. Still covered in a thin layer of soap, his eyes were red and his matted hair hung in clumps on his forehead. The restaurant manager turned to him, his expression stern.“Logan?” he half-stated, half-asked. His eyes ran up and down Logan’s dishevelled appearance, then he frowned. “I suppose our conversation at dinner earlier fell on deaf ears? I thought we all made it perfectly clear that you were to exercise decorum and business acumen moving forward to stand even the slightest chance at having any of us purchase your wines. And yet, I find you here now, in the restroom, drunk and disorderly? You clearly not only lack business foresight, but you’ve also seemed to have misplaced your manners and better judgement.”The restaurant manager’s words were sharp, and Logan visibly flinched.“I can… explain…” Logan said, but he faltered.“I’ll spare you the effort,” the manager said, holding up his hand. “There’s rea

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 68: Commotion

    Willow's POVI was taken aback by Logan’s extremely offensive and malicious words, but I shouldn’t have been. He clearly thought I was someone who was capable of sleeping with an old man just for some expensive jewelry. But even so, my anger flared and I refused to back down now.Was there no end to this? Why did I keep running into Logan at the most inopportune times? And why did he seem so hellbent on my personal life? He was with Beatrice. What did he care what I did?“You’re an asshole,” I spat at him, confronting my shameless ex-husband head-on. I’d done my best to keep my cool, but he’d crossed a line and I wouldn’t stand for it anymore. “You have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re pathetic, drunk out of your mind, covered in your own vomit. You disgust me, Logan. I’m embarrassed that I was ever married to a man like you!”My voice reverberated around the restroom. I was unleashing on him, fed up to the brim with his sexual insults and demoralizing comments.“I disgust yo

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 67: Sugar Daddy

    Willow's POV“Who the hell are you?” Logan snapped rudely at Mr. Samson. He turned his full attention to the butler. Logan eyed him up and down, his brows furrowed. Mr. Samson stood fixed in place, a stern look on his face.“I repeat,” Mr. Samson said, his voice calm and controlled. “Step away from Willow.”“Willow?” Logan repeated my name and I saw the realization slowly dawn on him that Mr. Samson and I knew each other, twisted his face into a scowl. He paused, studied Mr. Samson. Then he scowled.“Oh I see,” Logan said, chuckling with a low laugh full of disdain. “This is your lover?” Logan turned to me. “Seriously Willow? You went out and found yourself a real life sugar daddy? What is he, twice your age? No wonder you’re wearing such a nice necklace.”“Logan,” I said, trying to cut off his drunken rant, but Logan wouldn’t stop.“That’s why you’re here, too, isn’t it. Your sugar daddy is wining and dining you before he takes you home to have his way with you. I’m disgusted, Willow.

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 66: Revenge

    Willow's POV“Logan!” I exclaimed. “You idiot!”Fuming mad, I reached for the paper towel, wadding it up in my hands. My face and hair were dripping wet. He fumbled for the faucet, finally turning it off. Mascara dripped down from my eyelashes, making me look like I had two black eyes.“I didn’t mean to do that,” Logan mumbled under his breath.“Yeah? Well you did,” I snapped back at him. I couldn’t go back to Luigi's table looking like this! Dabbing as carefully as I could to preserve what make-up I could, I tried to dry off my face. Then I slammed down the paper towel and glared at Logan.“You’re a mess,” I seethed at him. “I suggest you go home and sleep this off.”“I suggest you go home and sleep this off,” Logan repeated, mocking my voice. “Sounds like something my WIFE used to say.”He was baiting me, trying to rile me up, but I wasn’t going to engage. Ignoring him, I opened my purse and rifled through it, trying to find my powder compact.“You still haven’t answered my question,

  • Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back   Chapter 65: He’s Not Worth It

    Willow's POVQuickly, I averted my eyes and turned on my heel to leave. Shocked that this drunken, disorderly man was Logan, I wanted nothing more than to leave the uncomfortable scene and avoid any unnecessary interaction with my ex-husband. I had no idea what Logan was doing there, vomiting all over that bathroom, and quite frankly, I didn’t care. Logan wasn’t my problem anymore.Memories of cleaning up after Logan when he’d had too many drinks out at the bar with friends flashed through my mind. Glancing at the vomit on the floor, I shook my head. I’d spent way too many years cleaning up Logan’s mess; I sure as hell wasn’t going to do that now.“Willow?” Logan’s voice said, causing me to stop dead in my tracks. “Is that really you?”Reluctantly, I turned around. His flushed face was staring at me in the mirror, his expression confused. Through his hazy vision, it was slowly dawning on him that yes, it was me standing there with him.“What are you doing here?” he asked as he turned

    Willow's POVEmerging from the restroom, I gave myself a quick check in the mirror. The glittering diamonds shone in the bathroom lights, and I fingered the necklace gingerly.I’d tried to politely refuse the gift, claiming it was far too much. I could only imagine what a necklace like that was worth, and I didn’t feel right about accepting such an expensive gift. However, both Mr. Samson and Luigi insisted that the necklace suited me perfectly.“It adds to your elegance,” Mr. Samson had declared.“Here, allow me,” Luigi had said, crossing the room so he could fasten the necklace around my neck. When he fastened the clasp, his fingers brushed lightly across the back of my neck, sending shivers up my spine. His fingers lingered a moment too long.“It’s almost as beautiful as soon,” Luigi said in a low whisper, causing my heart to flutter. For a moment, I was lost in his touch and his words, as though the entire room was melting away.“Now you’re a real princess,” Carl said happily, snap
