He is not your daddy.

I look at my family and my ex-in-laws, and I can see the shock on their faces. I look at Roman, and the way he looks at me, it is as if he looks at me differently. When I was younger, I had a crush on him, but he never saw me as a potential wife. He never treated me as his wife. He always loved Celeste. I look at them again, and I don't know what I saw in him. I have grown up, and I no longer want him. I don't have any feelings for him. I look at Celeste. It is true what they say: if you don't have a good heart, it'll show on your face, but the same goes if you have an evil heart. Celeste is not as beautiful as she used to be when we were in school. Her beauty has faded. She is not the beautiful cheerleader all the boys dreamed about. Even my brother had a crush on her. She also looked shocked as if she couldn't believe I had made a success of my life. My father is standing next to my in-laws. There is a younger woman on his arm. After all these years, has he forgotten about my mother?
"Mommy, I think Daddy came home. Look, he looks just like Connor. He's walking our way. I'm so glad that he's finally coming home. But who's the woman who is with him? Is that why you're not together? Is it because my daddy has another wife?" Carmen asks.
"Honey, he is not your daddy. Just because it looks like Connor does not mean that he is your daddy," I say. I look at Logan, walking towards me with the beautiful Michelle Morris on his arm. She was the last best friend, but she became a supermodel. She was always more beautiful than Celeste. However, she and Logan were always an item, and nobody dared to touch Logan's girlfriend. Logan looks irritated as he pushes her hand away from his arm.
"Daddy! You finally came home. Mommy told us that you were overseas and that she does not know when you will come home. You look just like Connor. I knew we'd know who you are when we see you. Mommy does not have photos of you," Carmen says as she runs to Logan, and I have to grab her and pull her back to me. Michelle is glaring at her. Logan is looking at me with a question in his eyes.
"Baby girl, I told you he's not your daddy. Hello, Logan, Michelle. If you will excuse us, I have some business to take care of," I say and try to walk away, but Logan grabs me by my hand and matches me to a dark corner in the hall. The man radiates power, and for some reason, I am afraid of him. I do not know why, but he looks dangerous. I am not so brave now that he is standing before me.
"Who is their father?" Logan asks. His voice is soft but dangerous. I know that he must have a lot of authority in this town, and he thinks that she can push it off on me.
"What has that got to do with you? We had a one-night stand. I promised never to bother you again, and I kept my promise. Now would you please not bother me?" I say.
"You did not answer my question. You don't know who you are playing with, Maddie," Logan says. No one has ever called me Maddie, besides my grandfather, who was the only one who cared about me. My grandfather on my mother's side never blamed me for my mother's death, unlike my father.
"I don't have to answer your question, and you don't know who you're playing with. Leave me alone. Don't come near my children. They are mine and mine alone," I say. I do not owe him any answers. I have nothing to say to Logan. Besides, I'm not going to tell him that he is the father of my children. I do not know what he will do. By the looks of it, he will take them from me, and I will not allow it. I don't care how wealthy he is. I am also wealthy, and I will fight him in every court. He can't just walk into our lives and want to come and play dad to my children. He told me to never bother him. I kept my part of the deal.
"Maddie, don't make me angry. I am warning you. I am going to ask you this once. Are they my children?" Logan asks.
"Logan, don't be ridiculous. I cannot be your children. You never had an affair with this woman. You always loved me. She's not worthy of your attention, so she has a little boy who looks like you. Or did the slut sleep with you while she was married too Roman? I am sure the children are Roman's. I don't care if he said that he ever slept with her. Darling, let's leave. This party is getting out of hand," Michelle says.
"Shut up, Michelle, and keep your nose out of my business. We are not a couple, and we will never be. I am sick and tired of you running after me. Get lost. I am talking to Madeline, and our business has nothing to do with you. If you dare to call her names again, you'll regret it," Logan says. Is he standing up for me? I'm sure the man is drunk. Nobody ever stood up for me after my grandfather passed away.
"Listen, I am going to do my duties as the hostess of this party. Why don't you two lovers take your lovers' quarrel elsewhere? How did you get in? I don't remember inviting you anyway," I say. Michelle tries to grab Logan's hand, but he pushes her away. He takes me by the shoulders and looks me deep in the eyes.
"There is something you need to know. If I want something, I get it. Don't play with me, Maddie. You will not win. I'm much more dangerous than you know," Logan says. Michelle tries to pull him away, but Logan pushes her away again.
"There is something you need to know about me, Logan Rossi. I don't let people walk all over me anymore. I am not afraid of you. I don't care how dangerous you think you are," I say.
"Logan, let's leave," Michelle says.
"I told you to get lost! I only ask you to come with me to this party because I didn't want to come alone. You know that I never liked you, Michelle, and I will never marry you. So get that idea out of your head and get lost," Logan says brutally honest. Michelle is in tears and storms off. I thought Logan was going to follow her, so I tried to walk back to my table, but Logan walked in front of me.
"We are not done yet," Logan says.
"Yes, you are. Please leave my fiancée alone," Lucas says. I could kiss him as Logan glares at him. Logan looks at my finger and smiles. I am too late to hide the fact that I am not wearing an engagement ring.
Latest chapter
Game over. Hello Father!
Madeline's POVI walked back to my table, and I was not surprised to see my brother and father standing there waiting for me. It has been a long time since I have seen Sean and my father. I know they are going to have a lot to say to me, but I do not care what they say to me. I am so tired of them. They never treated me like family in any way. They always laughed at me and made fun of me, and they always told me that I was a murderer. I was a little girl. I was craving the love of a father. Or anyone. The only one who ever gave me love was my grandfather. I always looked forward to going to him during the holidays. I would cook for him, and he would eat all my food. He loved my food. He always told me to become a chef. My grandfather never blamed me for my mother's death. He blamed my father, he said. My father was a ruthless man, and he did not give a damn about his wife. If he did, my mother would not have been dead. I didn't understand what my grandfather meant by that. I was too y
Game over. Everything is fair in love and war.
Logan's POV"Either your fiancé is very cheap, or he cannot afford to buy you a ring. Which means he is only after your money. I don't believe you. I don't think for one second that the two of you are engaged. You don't look very in love. Please do not play games with me, boy. Go and play with your toys, I don't have time to play around. Now keep your nose out of my business. Get lost. I'm talking to Madline," I say. "Who do you think you are to talk to me this way? What is between Madeline and me has nothing to do with you. Leave her alone. Can't you see that she doesn't want to talk to you? Besides, we need her in front. People want to speak to her. You know that there are many journalists and food critics here. You are keeping our CEO away from her duties. You can arrange an appointment with her if you want to see her. You're spoiling our party, Sir," The man says. I don't even know who he is. It means that he is not important in this town because I know all the important people i

Game over. The grand opening.
Logan's POVI walk around the restaurant looking for Madeline she is not there. I wonder if my informants made a mistake. Maybe she is a little late. I cannot wait to see her after all these years, and my heart was pounding in my chest. I do not understand what is going on with me. Madeline has bewitched me! I never felt this way about a woman before, and I do not understand why. I do not understand how I can feel about her this way, and I have not even seen her in a long time. I am standing with her family and Roman and his family. I do not want to associate with them, but they are my partners in the restaurant business, and I want to know why they have been invited. I hear the CEO is going to reveal himself at this party tonight. It is a good thing that all of us are here, we will at last know who the brains behind our biggest competition is. I have invited Michelle Morris as my date. I look up at the door, and there she stands. She is with a woman and two children. However, I do n
Game over. Preparing for the opening.
Madeline's POVIn the past, I did not take very good care of myself because I did not feel that anybody loved me. But tonight, I am looking like a Princess in a purple dress. I took great care of my looks. I want to show the world who and what I am. After all, I am going to drop a bombshell on everybody because nobody knows who the CEO of Heavenly is. I kept it a secret until I could open my Restaurant in New York. I wanted it to be a surprise for my father, brother and my ex-husband and his family. I've decided to take back my maiden name. It is not like I have ever been married to Roman Whitfield. He never touched me. I don't have any feelings left for him. I don't even hate him, but I want to destroy them all for what they have done to me. I wonder if Logan is still in town. I hope not. I have not heard about him in years.I do not have a grudge against Logan. What we did that night was a one-night stand, and not one of us was in love with each other. I am glad that you told me not
Game over. Madeline is back!
Logan's POVOver the years, I have been buying shares in Bella Rosa. I want to give them to Madeline when I find her. That night we spent together was a mistake, but I only realised that she was a virgin after she left. I remember our conversation that night. I remember how she told me that she only married Roman because she wanted to become the head chef in one of her father's restaurants, as she had studied to become a chef. However, her father tricked her and did not work in the restaurant. All she had to do was be Roman's wife, and Roman did not love her because he was still in love with his first love, Celest. I can't remember much of the rest of the night. I only remember that I blamed her for sleeping with me the following day. But it was because I was in shock. I couldn't believe that I slept with one of my friends' wives. I should have blamed myself as well, and not only her. I only wanted to distance myself from her, but now I cannot forget her, and ever since I slept with h
