The Revenge Chapter 05 – A Friend's Proposal (Part 2)
The aversion wasn't as desperately strong as the night before, but still, she looked quickly away from her haggard image, her eyes puffy and her cheeks red from crying. Feeling the discomfort inside her chest inexplicably increase, Missy struggled to maintain her composure, trying her best not to slip back into the wretched state she'd been in last night. As quickly as she could manage, she washed her face and brushed her teeth, refusing to even look back at the huge horizontal mirror that ran the length of the wide, dark marble sink. Once out of the bathroom, Missy couldn't contain the long sigh of relief that escaped her, even though that overreaction to her reflection had her a little worried. Okay, probably nothing she was feeling right now was healthy, but that was a little too much. Megan would certainly say that... That's when it hit her: her purse had been left at the Newtons' and heaven knew she'd rather die than have to go back there to get it. Which meant she was without h

- Oh, Logan, thank you... - she smiled sadly, more and more touched by all those kind gestures of his - But, even so, I don't want you to end up being harmed. - Missy sighed, feeling uncomfortable with just that possibility – The agency has an impeccable reputation, especially in HR matters. Or even worse: I know that they would also be able to even invent lies, just to try to affect you and the agency. - I wouldn't go out... - And it wouldn't be fair. - She interrupted him with a painful sigh - They were horrible, it's true, but none of that has to do with their work. – Trying to control the tears that were starting to fill her eyes, Missy leaned over the bench, hiding her face between her arms – And I… I don't want to be like them. – You would never be like them. – he assured her vehemently, and she was surprised to feel his gentle hand running through her hair, apparently trying to comfort her a little with those soft caresses. - Thanks. – she sniffed, raising her face a little

Mortified, Missy just remained silent, not daring to look at him again. - You're wrong. No, that big son of a bitch is wrong! You were just the victim who believed his lies. – Logan whispered, looking a little aggressive, but also resentful, before his finger gently touched her chin, bringing her gaze to him again – I don't know what he did to you… – Logan's teeth seemed clenched with so much ferocity they could grind diamonds – But intimacy, sex and pleasure... I can assure you that all these things are very different from what he showed you. -II… – Missy stammered anxiously, not knowing what she should answer – I don't think there's any reason for us to have this discussion, as I really don't think it would work. There's no way anyone can be jealous of me. – Missy gave a wry smile – Unless I got the most powerful, rich and handsome man in the world. Maybe only then would Suzan and Liam even bother to look at me again. - She shook her head, wondering in what world that could happen
The Revenge Chapter 06 – A Dish Best Served Hot (Part 1)
Why had she suggested that? Sitting at one of her favorite coffee shop tables, Missy asked herself that same question for the hundredth time that late afternoon. Three days had passed since Mrs. Newton and, for exactly three days and three nights, she remained locked in her apartment, without even approaching the agency again. Long enough for her to confess to Megan her failed attempt at sex with her ex-boyfriend and how it had affected her even before that whole humiliation session. Her sister-after having cursed every existing, and yet to come, generation of the Newton family-had scheduled her to begin therapy as soon as possible. Which was perhaps just as well, since as every second of every day seemed to drag by, and every word of that video played over and over again in her mind, the agony of seeing her own pitiful reflection in the mirror never seemed to leave her. And even through it all, a big part of her couldn't stop thinking about Logan, too. About her proposal, about her
The Revenge Chapter 06 – A Dish Best Served Hot (Part 2)
Logan wasn't a womanizer, as far as she knew. In two years of living together, she had never seen him with anyone or heard the Knights mention that he had a girlfriend. But he was a young man, extremely handsome and successful. The kind of male profile that generally didn't want serious commitments, but also did the opposite of refusing female company. She had a hard time imagining Logan, always so serious and intent, as one of the bon vivants or the many libertines that existed in the pages of her books. However, she certainly wasn't a good judge of character. If someone had accused Liam of not only having an affair with a co-worker, but also recording a video saying terrible things about her and then posting it among dozens of people, would she have believed it? - And now your mind is creating even more arguments to believe that nothing will work. – Logan sighed heavily, bringing his attention back to him – Please, Missy, explain to me: why are you so sure we shouldn't do this? - W

- Are you okay? - It was the first thing Logan asked when the restaurant door closed and they started walking along the sidewalk. -I… - Missy murmured, internally also trying to understand how she was. Conflicting emotions continued to rage inside her, and after much pondering, she could think of only one thing to say – I think it could have been worse. – she stated reluctantly – I mean, it was still a little uncomfortable seeing them again, but… At least they didn't have time to say anything that would make me feel even worse. – she concluded with a sigh. - Soon you will feel nothing but indifference when you see them, I promise. – Feeling melting, Missy enjoyed the warm sensation of his kiss against her hair, finally realizing that they were heading towards the beautiful and elegant silver car parked in the street – Did you come in your own car? - Logan wanted to know, hugging her even more against his chest. - No… – Missy answered, blushing, but still pressing herself against his
The Revenge Chapter 07 – To Make Missy Happy (Part 1)
- So... Are you and Logan together now? Fidgeting uncomfortably, Missy went back to combing her hair, looking away from the analytical expression of her sister, who was sitting on the couch in her apartment, with Rey sleeping quietly in her lap. Despite countless moments of stuttering and indescribable embarrassment, she had at least managed to tell Megan all about her revenge plan with Logan as she prepared to have dinner with him that night. At first, she'd thought the plan would just boil down to Logan spreading the word around the agency that they were now together and going on their first date that night—with possibly more—until the gossip reached Liam and Suzan. So when Logan had suddenly said he'd pick her up at seven for real dinner – like on a date – she'd freaked out a little. I mean, lightly. Who was she kidding? She was still panicking at the thought of being in a fancy restaurant next to Logan. Her mother had already taken her and Megan to several, of course, but that ki

- Before he doesn't give me the credit I deserve, I was the one who tipped him off. -Her older sister smiled proudly, as she took the bouquet from her hands – I'll find a place for it. - Well... - Logan made a face in her direction, before turning back to Missy and extending the small black box, closed with a silver bow - This one I chose by myself. I know you like sweets, so I wanted to try to bring you something that suited you... - he explained while Missy untied the bow, extremely curious - I hope I got it right. Lifting the lid, Missy gasped in delight to find a long row of tiny spheres so bright and colorful they looked like tiny planets. And, as she noticed the inscriptions with names and flavors next to each candy, she realized that they were exactly that: tiny, perfect representations of the solar system in the shape of chocolate. - This is amazing! – She breathed, a huge happy smile spreading across her face as she looked closely at the adorable little chocolates – They ar
