She Folded It, I Folded Him Chapter 10
"You really think you're still good enough for me? We're not even in the same league anymore. Leave."My words snapped something in Logan.His eyes went red.He yanked a knife from his jacket and snarled, "If you won't come with me alive, I'll take your body home instead. You're mine. No one gets to take you from me."He raised the knife and lunged.Then someone rushed out and grabbed his arm.Raine.She clung to Logan's arm and laughed like she was out of her mind."Logan, I already spent all the money you gave me. Give me more, okay? If you do, I'll help you kill this bitch!"I caught a glimpse of the track marks covering her bare arms.I understood immediately.Logan shoved her away. "I already gave you money and told you to disappear! Why are you still following me?"Raine hit the ground, then scrambled right back up and threw herself at him again. "Didn't you say you liked me on my eighteenth birthday? Didn't you have fun with me? Just give me a little more money. You

On the night of the gala, my mom did my makeup herself.Then she straightened my gown and smiled."You get prettier every day. Tonight, you'll be the most beautiful girl in that room."I looked at myself in the mirror.For the first time, I understood.This was the person I was supposed to be.The second I walked into the ballroom, Jensen's eyes lit up."Olivia, you look incredible tonight. Seeing you out of a business suit is enough to make me fall for you."I shot him a playful look and smiled. "Thank you."As the night went on, I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me.No matter where I went, that gaze seemed to follow.It put me on edge.But every time I turned around, I saw no one.Eventually, I gave up.After the gala ended, Jensen offered to drive me home.He told me to wait by the entrance while he grabbed the car.The night air was cold.A gust of wind hit me, sending a shiver down my back.Then someone suddenly rushed in front of me and drop

My mom sobbed into the phone. "They said we have three days to pay the last hundred grand. If we don't... they'll take one of my legs. Olivia, I'm scared..."I forced down the panic. "I'll get the money. I won't let anything happen to you."After I hung up, my head was a mess.A hundred thousand was way too much for me right now.Then my phone rang again.Unknown number.I answered, and Logan's smug voice came through."Quit your job and come back to marry me. I'll give you the money.""You bastard!" I shouted, shaking with rage. "Logan Dunne, you think this will force me back? It won't.""Stop acting tough." Logan chuckled. "Olivia, be a good girl and do what I say. Otherwise, if something happens to your mom, don't say I didn't warn you.""Keep dreaming."I hung up.The pressure and humiliation hit me all at once.I couldn't hold it together anymore.I crouched in the corner of the break room and burst into tears."What's wrong?"A gentle voice came from over my head.

I let out a short, cold laugh."Logan Dunne, let me make this crystal clear. Not happening. Even if I'm single for the rest of my life, I will never get back together with you."My words hit a nerve.The hurt on Logan's face vanished, replaced by anger and obsession.He stepped closer and grabbed my arm. "I know you still have feelings for me. Otherwise, you wouldn't be this mad. Come back with me. Be good.""Let go!" I yanked free and stumbled back. "Logan, stop making a scene. We're over!""Making a scene?" Logan's eyes went red. "I'll show you a scene."He bent down and tried to throw me over his shoulder again.Then Jensen appeared and punched him in the face.Logan staggered back, then pointed at Jensen and started yelling. "Wow. So you did have another guy behind my back!"Raine was right at the County Clerk's Office. Maybe those babies weren't even mine. Maybe that's why you got rid of them and blamed Raine!"You disgusting bitch! I'll kill you both!"He raised his f

Noah put me in full charge of Jensen's project.Working with Jensen, I quickly realized he was seriously good at what he did.I admired him. I learned a lot from him.Before long, the work felt easy.One weekend night, I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in my Ebonport apartment, holding a glass of wine and watching traffic crawl below.I couldn't stop thinking about how much I'd changed in less than two weeks.For five years, I'd been stuck in an invisible cage and hadn't even known it.When Logan and I first got together, we lived in an apartment under five hundred square feet.Later, I landed a few major projects on my own and earned big commissions.My mom was still buried in the debt my dad had left behind, so I gave her ninety percent of it to pay things down.The rest, plus Logan's bonuses, was enough to cover a down payment.I was so excited to talk about buying a place.Claudia shut it down immediately. "Raine is still young. She'll need money later. A girl dese

After boarding, I found my seat.The second I sat down, I froze.Noah was right beside me.My whole body went tense.Questions slammed through my head.Shouldn't someone like him be in first class?Wasn't a team lead supposed to be waiting in Ebonport?Why was he flying with us?Like he could read my mind, he said, "I'm in charge of the Ebonport branch. I'm flying economy because I want to get to know my key employees."He paused on purpose. "And I picked you myself."My eyes went wide.None of it felt real. It felt like a dream.Seeing the look on my face, he explained, "In your five years at Nordstrom Corp, you've closed four projects worth over fifty million, ten worth more than ten million, and another five worth over two million—"I quickly cut him off, my face heating up."Please stop. Doing my job is the least I should be doing. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."He gave a slight nod, pulled his eye mask back down, and didn't say another word.After we la
