“You do not get to treat me like a piece of shit, Logan! I am not that kind of girl, and I will not allow it.”
Logan ignored me completely, but I was so mad at him that I continued to stomp right after him. “Who the fuck do you think you are, Logan? Doing whatever the hell you feel like doing without considering the feelings of others! You are a callous man!
Logan entered his room and I followed him in. One thing you don’t do to me is ignore me like I am some irrelevant bag of thrash.
No one has ever made me feel the way Logan does; emotionally, and it is always so intense that it makes me want to burst. And even though a small part of me was still afraid of him, daring him just seems like fun, but so far he has maintained a calm demeanor, which infuriates me even more.
“You have a big mouth, Alice,” Logan finally said as he poured some Vodka into his glass. “You should learn to control it.”
I drew closer to him. “No, you should learn the proper way to treat a lady! If all the women you have ever dated are celebrities who don’t demand respect from you, then you must know that I am not part of them.”
“Shut the fuck up.” Logan thundered. I almost tripped trying to move away from his threatening self, and that was when I noticed that his lips coiled in mockery.
Oh, so you love it when you scare me? I thought. Well, you will not get that satisfaction anymore. So I regained my position and raised my head and shoulder high, although with Logan, you can never meet up with his height. “You cannot shut me up, Mr. D’Nores,” I said defiantly.
Before I could finish that statement, Logan’s lips crashed on mine. Instinctively, I returned the kiss. I was supposed to be mad at him, damn!
It is quite difficult, if not impossible to be mad at a man who kisses the way Logan does. He parted my lips and I welcomed him in, savoring all of him.
My knees began to feel weak, and my head drowsy from the kiss, and I hoped that I would not fall to the ground.
While I was still swimming in the sweetness of Logan’s deep kiss, he stopped and withdrew his lips.
For some seconds, I still had my eyes closed, hoping it was like in his movies that I had watched countless times where he would withdraw-maybe to catch his breath, I wouldn’t know, then dive right back into kissing, but when that wasn’t happening, I opened my eyes to Logan’s corky smile.
Shit! Shit! Shit!
It was a trap and I had fallen for it! I wanted the ground to open and swallow me up. He knew that the kiss had gotten to me. He knew by my response that I enjoyed it. Heck, I even wanted more of it.
Logan took his glass of Vodka and sat down on his couch and crossed his leg. “I told you to shut up. I see that you barely listen to instructions, Alice.” He still had that corky smile on his face! I could not do the walk of shame away from him. I could not say a word; my tongue was tied, either from the kiss or from the embarrassment I feel. I just stood there like a Barbie doll while he sipped on his Vodka and carried on his corky smile.
“Your cheeks are red as strawberries,” he said. Logan was obviously enjoying what he was doing, and I was letting him by just standing there, not doing anything, not saying anything.
Logan’s POV
I had to sit down immediately so she would not notice how woody my manhood had grown. I did not mean to kiss her like that, but she just kept talking, and it was annoying. Also, her small lips kept curling in that sexy manner that I am sure she is not even aware of, and before I could control myself, my lips were already on hers.
Fuck they are so soft and full, and every time I kiss her, I get more aroused. I almost wanted to take her there and then in my bedroom, but then I wanted to punish her for being so slutty and disrespectful.
“Hey man,” Ethan poked his head into my room. Seeing that I was there, he strolled in and sat on the other couch. Ethan and I are more friends at home because we were childhood friend, but outside the walls of my house, I am his boss and he is my PA. “You have a meeting with some staff at the Casino later tonight,” he informed.
“Cancel it.”
I could see surprise spread across Ethan’s small face. “But why?”
“I want to concentrate more on my forthcoming wedding. Until after that, I won’t be attending to matters that pertain to work.
Ethan chuckled, and I wonder why. “Are you the one planning the wedding? I thought Leah was taking care of it, and besides, you have not even fixed a particular date yet.
“Regarding that, I will speak to Leah immediately…and stop grinning like a little boy, it makes you look funny.”
The look Ethan now had on is that of amusement, and he kept staring at me as though I had something like chocolate on face. “Stop that, Ethan, damn.”
“Sorry boss…it’s just that it looks as if you just kissed Alice. You have this blush on your face, which is very weird considering you are a Mafia boss, and…”
“Stop it, Ethan.” I warned, but even I knew that Ethan would not stop it. I felt a shift in my heart. Why am I feeling this way about Alice though?
“I daresay that with the way I saw her storming out of your bedroom, something obviously did happen between the two of you!”
Leah knocked at my door, and when she saw that I did not respond, she opened it and entered. I have been in my room since the last episode with Logan, and as usual, I have not set eyes on him ever since, not like I minded though. I don’t think I am ready to see him any time soon.“You have been rejecting meals served to you, Alice.” Leah scolded. I hate that she sounds like that, as though she was referring to a teenager.“I did not reject meals,” I grumbled reply. I wanted her to leave me the hell alone so I could have my privacy to myself, but it seems that I will always have the D’Nores in my hair. “What do you want?”Leah ignored my question. “You have not been eating, can you explain why that is?”“Nothing.”Leah laughed. The kind of laughter that could drive one up the wall.“You should stop rejecting meals and eat. You don’t want to look like a hungry bride on her wedding day.”All my senses shot up with that information.A wedding! A wedding!“What?” Leah stared at me, “surely
Riley and Emma met at a coffee café to get a cup of coffee. Riley saw Emma coming and scoffed. “She is always overdressed. It’s just coffee for fuck’s sake!” Riley thought jealously. Emma was a screen goddess, and she always dressed the part. She even worked for some modeling agencies before she ventured into acting fully. At first, they were enemies, especially after Logan dated Riley and dumped her for Emma, but they became allies after both got dumped.“It’s so hot in here,” Emma said she moment her butt touched her seat.Riley could not wait to get the meeting over and done with, and she particularly chose that coffee café out of town so that hungry papparazi’s would not see them and take pictures. She was sure the headlines would be screaming about them;“Logan D’Nores’s surly ex-girlfriends spotted having coffee together.”“Popular Actresses, Riley and Emma who got dumped by superstar Logan meet up to lick their sore wounds.”“Are the ex-girlfriends of D’Nores now besties?”“W
By the end of the day, I felt sick. My eyes hurt from looking at different brands and colors of clothes, accessories, bras, bikinis, lingeries, G-string pants, colognes, hair dyes, jewelries, nail polishes…just name it.I am sure there were a thousand of brand owners at Logan’s extravagant living room when Leah had come into my room to drag me down. Apparently, Logan had told her that he did not want me hopping from one boutique or fashion store to another.I was at the brink of fainting from trying out dresses upon dresses when Leah asked for a break when her phone rang. I could not have been happier!Phew! Does the lady ever get tired? Well, I am sure Leah is already accustomed to this kind of lifestyle. I walked into the kitchen to grab a bottle of milk so that I could at least, balance the micro organisms running furiously in my head from too much stress.Beside school and hanging out with a few friends and Samuel, I have never experienced anything else and I must admit that this
“A cheap fucking stripper!”That was Leah, her voice still about to tear down the whole house. I could not look at Logan in the face, because he was seething with anger where he was seated, just some inches away from me.Leah had on her iPad, and a “friend” had seen hidden pictures of me in a stripper’s club in a dead end club house and sent it to her.“I thought you were just a bloody college student! Isn’t that what you told us, you slut!” Right there, I would have leapt at Leah for not just raising her voice at me, but throwing underserved insults. Since the appalling news reached her, she had been shouting and cursing, and calling Logan in between.Logan had had to leave his shoot and rush home to see what the disaster was all about.Leah had not even given me the slightest opportunity to explain that it was all lies, and that the pictures splashed all over the blogger’s post was not me. “What else don’t we know about you, Alice?” She queried. “What other lies are hidden beneath
Logan’s POVI tossed and tossed and turned in bed begging for sleep to come but it did not. I was disgusted at myself for treating her the way I did. I could still see her horrified face, and hear her whimpers when I forced her to strip for me.I honestly do not know what made me do that.When Leah had called me and told me told what had been found about Alice, I knew that if those pictures were released for the world to see it would taint my name. I have spent years, working endlessly like a donkey just to rise to this level of power and fame, and there was no way in hell I was going to let one little girl from the slum ruin everything for me overnight.While I drove home in blinded anger, Leah sent the pictures to my phone. At first when I saw them, I was filled with disdain for her, and I pound my fist angrily on the steering. Thankfully, the cops were not anywhere close by else they would have pulled me over for going too fast and honking unnecessarily loud.Then I looked at the p
A wedding the next weekend!Who the hell just fixes a wedding? I hadn’t even gotten over what I went through in the hands of the brutal Logan D’Nores, and now I am going to be tied and dragged through the aisle to the altar? My head began to spin at the thought of it.Yes, I knew I was going to get married to Logan, but definitely not this soon. I had thought that the stretch of the wedding would give me ample time to strategize on how to carry out my revenge against him for the murder of my brother.I could still hear Leah, yelling at the top of her voice as usual, as she and Logan argued over his “rash” decision.“You can’t be fucking serious, Logan! Are you drunk?!”“I am fucking serious,” Logan’s baritone voice vibrated through the wall, calm but threatening in a way that makes me shiver in fear. “And I am not drunk.”“I can’t plan a grand wedding in a couple of days, Logan. The girl has not even been able to select her own damn panties!” Leah was beyond exasperated.Logan ignored
Leah waited in Ethan’s office for him, she was supposed to collect a check from him to run a few errands for their goddamn wedding, something she already hates doing. She chewed and smacked her gum, bored and tired, and also angry because Ethan was taking too long. He had promised her that he need to tidy up a few things with Logan’s crew for his next movie, and that it was only going to be for a split second, but of course, she should know that the only person Ethan gave his honest words to is Logan.His office was devoid of any adornment, except for a few pictures where he revealed too many of his badly shaped set of teeth. Aside the fact that he and Logan go way back, she really did not understand why Logan kept him. Although if one was being honest, he was great at his job.Well, that is if he is working for Logan.Every other person has to suffer from his laziness. Leah was not a fan of Ethan at all, and she only bore his excesses because he works for her brother, and she always
Riley flopped on Leah’s couch, exhausted from her photoshoot sessions. “These guys can drink your blood without mercy, “ she grumbled, took off her glasses and exhaled. “No wine?” she asked Leah.Leah stared at her. Riley could be insensitive when she wanted to be sometimes. Leah had texted her and asked her to come over, that it was pretty urgent, and her she was, relaxed and feigning exhaustion.“There is a reason for that text, Riley,” Leah said.“Oh yeah,” Riley sat up. “The text…what’s up, girl?”“What were you doing at a coffee café in downtown…with Emma of all people?”A flicker of shock flashed in Riley’s eyes, but it was gone before Leah could catch it. How the hell did Leah know about that meeting? Riley thought to herself.She had been as discreet as possible, which was why she had chosen a godforsaken coffee café where she would not easily be noticed. Or had Emma gone ahead and announced it to someone? The stupid bitch!She should know that news travel faster than a jet,
