Semua Bab He Wants Me: Bab 171 - Bab 180

Logan’s POVEverything just still feels surreal to me. How did I fucking get here? I know what is at stake, I have always known, which is why all my life I have been super careful not to mess anything up.I have been watchful enough to keep my double lifestyle separately enough so that nothing I do raises suspicions, so how did this fucking happen?!Ethan has said he would carry out his own investigations to make sure whoever did this will be fished out, and I do not doubt that he would. In fact, how this one had managed to slip past him still beats me.All these years, Ethan has been nothing short of observant. He has kept his eyes open, and that is why the bastard, Kozlova has not been able to penetrate all this while, even though he had tried severally to use the people who work for me.The first time it happened, I had been shocked at how Ethan got to find out. He had smiled and asked me to leave the job to him, only that I have never been comfortable with taking out the traitors.

I cannot believe how fluent and good the lies came without my conscience tearing me apart or my fears getting in the way.Now that they have left, I feel sick to my stomach that they have successful lured me into their bed of lies.Even though I knew I could not do otherwise because of their presence and Ethan’s warning and piercing gaze, I just could not bring myself to not acting according to what was expected of me.My breathing rate increased after the last person shut the door and all the domestic servants present disappeared from site.The room suddenly became too choked up for me, and just being around the D’Nores’s and Ethan was too much for me to handle, and sensing that this was the reason they asked me to come back downstairs is done, I turned towards the staircase to return to my room.All I wanted now was to go into my room, lock myself up and just lay down to catch my breath and rethink all that has happened in the last minute.Everything just feels like a fucking movie!

“Do you want to guess?” Emma chuckled and said, bringing Riley back from her reverie.Riley only smiled back, wishing now that she had kept her words stuck in her mouth, but she had been too awed by Emma’s new look to keep the words hostage.It now seems to Riley that everyone else is getting their lives together except her.And it makes her conscious of her own present look, but thankfully, she had worn sunscreen shades, so anyone would hardly be able to notice her patched eyes.Riley just smiled tightly and took a sip from her drink.“Well, I would like a glass of margarita too. I am a little thirsty,” Emma said instead when her eyes were drawn to Riley’s drink.“Oh, is that what you would have? They have all sorts of alcoholic drinks,” Riley suggested, amazed that Emma would opt for what she was having for the very first time.The bitch was as drawn to alcohol as bees to flowers, so what the hell happened to her in Hawaii?!Emma snorted, “Oh no, I am taking a long break from all of

Logan’s POVI went to my study and sat down to clear my head at least, but first, I made sure I took some painkillers to dull the headache already springing up.I just had to, even though I absolutely hate to take the drugs, because it leaves a sour taste in my tongue for a while, but I would rather have that sour taste than battle with a migraine, especially now that I have to keep my head above the water.Usually, I would have just taken my car and driven to the casino by now. That place has a way of soothing my troubled spirit, and that is something people do not know, even Ethan.When I opened the casino, it was basically because I loved the idea of it, but over the years, it became my source of solace and comfort, but I cannot do that now, because of everything at stake.Maybe I should ring up the Cook and have her prepare that soup of hers that has some sort of magic to make pains and illnesses go away, even though I hate that one too.Anything to make me feel better right now i

Ethan paced about in the hallway waiting.This was beginning to take longer than usual, and he was not comfortable with it.The whole thing blew over quicker than he had anticipated, but then, that was why he had picked the best in the game to carry out that interview, even if he had to pay through his nose. It was either that, or they all go down.Unfortunately, Logan does not fucking realize that.Anyway, he has decided to not dwell on the rift between him and Logan right now. Ever since he and Logan became thicker than blood, they have never had any form of misunderstanding. Not in the business, and certainly not in their finances.But with a woman!It has often been said that the one thing that can cause a war between two brothers is a woman, but Ethan would rather trample on his pride before he would let that happen, especially for a Morgan girl.Logan might choose to be blind now, because he has obviously fallen for this one, but that would not stop Ethan from allowing him fall
