Chapter 64

"I'm not jealous, I don't know what you're talking about" Logan answered without looking at Damon.

"You know better than to make decisions when you're angry. Think Logan! Think" Damon said and started leaving the office.

"Where are you off to?" Logan asked, stopping him.

"Home. I have to attend to Zoey, she called" Damon answered, but frankly, he wanted to go and be with Camilla, who now stays with him.

"Okay, but be at the mansion on time tomorrow"

"Of course boss.. and take it easy on the little girl, don't kill her" Damon said, referring to Adena. Logan didn't say anything else so he left.

Logan left for his mansion and went to check on Tyson first. The poor man has been brutalized badly, he was bleeding from everywhere, he was left on the cold floor, bare bodied and hungry. Logan ordered his guards not to kill him, he was going to do that by himself.

"Look at you now Tyson. What do you gain by running after things that belong to me?" He asked, taking quiet steps around Tyson.

"I know.. I know you have feelings for her, which is why you can't bear to see her with another man" Tyson said, his voice came out shaky and breathy.

"But guess what?" He added, looking up at Logan's figure and managing to grin.

"She'll never love you, she won't ever fall for a monster like you. She's too innocent for you" Tyson was very brave to say that. He wasn't afraid of dying as it stands now. But he would never beg Logan like a coward.

"You f*cking b@stard!!" Logan yelled and pulled out his gun, pointing it to Tyson's head. For some reason, his statement fueled his anger, he's trying to fight his emotions but he can't control it.

"Shoot me.. but I will continue to tell you the truth" Tyson said, it sounded like a dare. Logan lowered his gun and gave Tyson a big blow to the head instead and he passed out.

He wanted to kill him painfully, not just a gunshot. Logan put his gun back in it's position and went inside to meet Adena.

Adena started to tremble when she heard the door unlocking. She was tied to Logan's bed, and made to sit on the floor, next to the cupboard. She curled herself up and sobbed for her pitiful life.

"You had the guts" Logan's voice echoed in the dark room. Adena whimpered at his figure. He had never been this intimidating, she knew what awaited her.

"So you've been sleeping with my prisoner" Logan said and chuckled. He moved closer to her and his face was finally visible to her. She avoided his burning eyes.

"Tell me! Tell me why you did it!!" He grabbed her arm and squeezed it tightly, she yelped in pain and fear. Logan couldn't understand why he was acting this way. No one has ever made him lose his mind the way she did. He never cared this much about a slave, why her?

"Talk!!"

"I didn't do anything" Adena cried out, his hand around his arm was painful, what was even more painful, is watching him breakdown in front of her.

"Don't you know you belong to me?!" He yelled. She shivered.

"I'm sorry.." Adena whispered.

"You had no rights!"

"What do you want from me!!?" Adena couldn't control herself anymore and she had to scream out her feelings.

"What? Why are you doing this to me? You terrorize me and rape me everyday! You tell me you hate me and you would love to see me die, and here you are, angry that I.." she paused and sniffed back her tears. Logan watched her, stunned.

"You hate me and I hate you too, you're my captor, not my lover so why are you so bothered! Just kill me already! Kill me!!" She yelled at him at the top of her voice, leaving Logan in shock.

She was right.

Why did he care so much?

Why did it hurt him so much to see her intimate with another man?

He had to get rid of these feelings.

"What if I tell you, I'm going to marry Delaney?" He asked, trying to spark some jealousy in her.

"You can do whatever you want Logan, just let me go" she whimpered, tears running down her cheeks as she pressed her knees against her chest and lowered her head in between them.

Logan saw that she didn't feel anything for him. What was he expecting? He has caused her a lot of pain. He nodded and walked over to his drawer, bringing out his whip.

Adena shivered and wailed at the sight of it.

"Please, please" she whimpered.

He faced her and raised the whip, Adena braced herself for the impact but was surprised when he threw the whip away and groaned loudly.

"I don't f*cking know what you did to me Adena! But I'm going to end it!" He screamed and exits the room. Adena was left in a pool of her own tears, in her misery.

Logan walked straight to the living room where Delaney and Anastasia were giving orders to Anastasia and called out to her.

"Delaney.. Delaney" he approached her and took her hands in his. He was sweating, and obviously was anxious.

"Breathe Logan.. what is the matter?" She asked, wiping his sweat with her hand.

"I.. I.. marry me Delaney" he said and Delaney's mouth hung open in shock. She was never expecting Logan to ask her that question anytime soon. Antoinette and Anastasia were equally surprised.

"What?" She asked.

"Isn't that what you've always wanted? To marry me? Now I'm asking you to marry me" Logan said.

"Yes, yes I'll marry you" Delaney was elated. Her plan had worked better than she imagined. She didn't expect Logan to ask her to marry him, but he did and that's a bonus for her.

"Good. Liliana!" He called out and the old woman entered the living room from the kitchen.

"I want arrangements for our wedding to begin immediately. It will be in two weeks time" he said and left immediately. He wasn't sure why he was doing this, maybe to make Adena jealous, to get rid of his growing feelings for her or because he was angry.. he didn't know.

Logan ordered Buster to take Adena to the torture house and to starve her. He was trying his best to cause her pain and to stop being attracted to her. But it seemed like he was causing more pain to himself.

Adena wept profusely when she saw the state that Tyson was in. She took off the coat that she was wearing on top of her flimsy gown and made him wear it. He was dying from the cold.

"I'm sorry you have to go through all this because of me" Adena cried, her tears fell on Tyson's face and he smiled faintly at her.

"You didn't cause me anything. Logan is just an a$$hole" Tyson scoffed.

"I don't mind if I die, as long as you're okay" he said and wiped her tears. Despite the pain he was in, he pulled her into a cuddle and allowed her to wrap herself inside his arms.

"Adena, I don't know how it happened, but I know I feel something for you. I'm willing to risk my life to give you a better life that you deserve. You don't deserve to be here, being Logan's s3x toy, you deserve a life. You're young and beautiful" Tyson said, his breaths were short and fast. He had lost a lot of blood and was battling for his life at that moment.

"Please don't give up on me Tyson" Adena sobbed.

"Adena.."

"Yes?"

"I love you"

She stared up at him and smiled wholeheartedly. Nobody, not even one person has ever said those three words to her. Not even her own family, nobody at all. She couldn't describe the warmth and excitement she felt when she heard it from him.

"I love you Adena" he repeated it and she hugged him tighter.

"Won't you say it back? I know you feel the same way" he teased and she chuckled.

"I'm not sure what I feel Tyson. But you make me happy" she answered truthfully. For some reason, she was thinking about Logan.



Why did he react the way he did? Did he actually have feelings for her?

Logan was right outside the torture house, he heard everything they said to each other, every single thing. And it broke him, it broke his complicated heart. He didn't understand it, and he didn't want to.

Logan decided to go ahead with the wedding, kill Tyson and look for a way to get rid of Adena and her memories too.

"This sh*t is f*cking toxic!" He thought, as he drowned himself in alcohol.


Since Logan had ordered for the arrangements for the wedding to begin so Liliana and Antoinette had a lot of work to do. Nobody was surprised about this because Delaney and Logan were going to get married anyway.

"Antoinette dear" Liliana called, after she was done giving orders to some of the servants.

"Yes ma" she answered, entering the kitchen.

"You're going to the flower shop, I need you to pick out the wedding decorations and bride's flowers by yourself. I don't want any mistakes" Liliana instructed.

"Okay ma" Antoinette replied. Liliana gave her the money and she left for the flower shop.

Antoinette finished selecting everything she needed and was on her way out when she saw Delaney walking past, it seemed like she was in a haste. Delaney was obviously trying not to be recognized because she wore a brown overall over her dress and dark shades too. Antoinette decided to follow her and see where she was going in secret.

Delaney stopped in front of an old warehouse, the warehouse once belonged to Logan's father, but was later sold to a group of dancers who wanted to use it for their practices.

Antoinette hid behind a car, a little bit far from where Delaney was standing, but close enough to hear what she was saying. Antoinette was just as curious as Adena, always wanting to find out everything.

A man in a hoodie approached Delaney, he was also wearing dark shades. Antoinette tried to see his face but couldn't figure out who it was.

"You're late" the man said, rather harshly to Delaney.

"I'm sorry, I am preparing for my wedding, so I was delayed" Delaney answered, excited.

"So after you get married, you won't come to see me again?" He asked, shoving his hands into his pocket. She sighed.

"I don't have any choice but to continue seeing you do I? You've made life so difficult for me" Delaney folded her arms and leaned on her body weight on her right leg.

"You brought it upon yourself, I got to know about your dirty little secret and it's been a huge asset for me" the man grinned and grabbed Delaney's waist, pulling her to his body, he squeezed her butt and nuzzled her neck.

Antoinette was shocked by what she was seeing. Delaney has been sleeping with another man? And what is the dirty secret?

"Stop it, we are in public. Why did you call me here?" Delaney asked, pushing him away and releasing herself from his grip.

"It's been long since I saw you. I've missed you on my bed Delaney. And I need some money too" the man read out and Delaney rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"I knew it was money. I've given you more than three million in the past six months, how did you spend all of it!?" Delaney yelled, Antoinette covered her mouth to stop herself from gasping.

"Don't tell at me okay? You either provide the money or I go straight to Logan and.."

"No, no, no please. Don't do anything funny. I'll get you the money" Delaney bit her lip, she didn't know where she would get money from. She was this close to bankruptcy, and she sold her father's company for this blackmailer. The only thing she has left, is her father's money, which only the lawyers have access to. She can only access it once she is married to Logan.

"Good girl, now come with me, my bed has been cold for weeks!" The man said and led Delaney out to the other side of the warehouse where his car was parked.

Antoinette ran out of her hiding place and raced back home, unknown to her and Delaney saw her leaving.

🤍🤍🤍

Anastasia pressed the doorbell in front of Damon's house and waited anxiously for him to open up. She wanted to try her luck with him again, since the incident with Camilla had blown over. She couldn't wait to marry Damon now that Delaney was marrying Logan.

"What do you want?" Damon opened the door and snapped at her.

"Really? Is that any way to welcome a visitor? Is that how much you hate me now?" She asked, trying to go in but Damon stood in her way.

"I had told you never to come back here again, so what do you want?" He asked.

"I just want us to talk okay? I miss you Damon" she sounded sober and tried to touch Damon but he dodged her hand.

"I hope you know that I suspect you about the attack on Camilla? I hope you know that I'm keeping an eye on you?" He glared at her and she panicked.

"Um.. I.. I.. I don't know what you're talking about" her eyes went to different directions, trying to avoid Damon's burning glare.

"Stay away from Camilla and me. I don't want anything to do with you" he said and she felt hurt.

"Damon! Who is it?!" A female voice called from inside the house and Anastasia recognized it to be Camilla's voice, she was instantly filled with rage.

"I'm coming babe" Damon answered and shut the door after glaring at Anastasia.

"Babe!?" Anastasia was shocked.

"Are they a couple now??"

"No, this can't be happening. It seems like I'll have to do what Delaney did, find something that will make Damon hate Camilla forever" she left the compound in rage, heading back to Logan's mansion.

She couldn't stand her life being so messed up while her best friend was living her dream.. or so she thought.

Back at the mansion, Logan was still in his room, drinking. He tried as much as possible to stop himself from thinking about Adena, but the more he tried, the more her thoughts terrorized him. He couldn't take it at some point, he ordered for Adena to be brought to his room.

Adena entered the room trembling, mostly because she has been starved and badly affected by the cold. She could barely stand.

"I want to punish you in the worst possible way Adena, but I can't" he confessed, staggering over to where she was standing. He touched the strands of her red hair that dangled in her face. She gasped at his action.

"You've broken me, even more than I was before" he sniffed and tightened his grip on her hair. He pulled it hardly and she yelped.

"You're hurting me stop!!" Adena cried out.

"And what about me? Don't you think you've hurt me?" He asked, releasing her a bit.

"I didn't do anything Logan! You are the one who keeps hurting yourself!!" Adena yelled out in anger.

"You treat your fellow human beings like worthless pieces of trash and expect love in return? You expect us to remain loyal when you don't give us a reason to! You're a monster! Nobody loves a monster!" She continued to vent and he staggered backwards, watching her in shock.

"You can only receive love when you open your heart to it. Tyson has given me what nobody has ever given me, he loves me"

"What do you know about love??!!!" Logan roared, making Adena whimper, but that didn't stop her from talking back at him.

"I know that you can never love anyone! Even though I don't know anything, I know that much. You just enjoy seeing other people in pain, you cannot love!!" She yelled back at him, sweat and saliva dripping off her. She looked wretched.

"So? You think Tyson loves you?"

"He does.." there was a dramatic pause. They stared into each other's eyes.

"And I love him too" those words came out as arrows to Logan, and they hit him right in the heart. He fell into his bed and started to get a migraine. Adena who was sobbing noticed that he was about to get another seizure, and rushed to help him.

"Don't, don't touch me!" He yelled, his body contracting and shivering.

Adena ignored him and placed his head on her lap. She wiped off his sweat and tore off a piece of a dress, using it to dab his forehead. She reached for his drugs on the table and gave it to him.

Logan was calm again and slept off. Adena was mad at herself for always worrying about him. She didn't want to help him, but her heart wouldn't let her. She had to hold him until he was completely relaxed, then she put him down and went outside.

Buster took her back to the torture house to stay with Tyson.

Logan woke up a few hours later, he recalled everything that happened and made up his mind to kill Tyson once and for all. Then he would go ahead and marry Delaney, to him, it was the best revenge he could get on Adena, for loving another man.

Then maybe one day, when he becomes tired of her, he would get rid of her.

"Master.." Buster bowed in front of Logan, who just came down to the living room. Delaney, Antoinette and Liliana were there together, planning the wedding.

"Get me my gun. I'm tired of seeing that motherf*cker breathing in my own house" he said in a very dangerous tone.

Liliana gasped.

"Yes master" Buster said and left to do as he was told. Logan left for the torture house in anger, he had been hurt again, and he wasn't going to go easy on those who hurt him.

As soon as he left, Liliana entered the kitchen, very depressed by how much worse Logan's anger has gotten. She didn't see things ending this way.

Antoinette was about to go into the kitchen with her mother when Delaney called her back.

"Antoinette.. I want to have a word with you" Delaney said, shooting daggers at the scared girl. Antoinette gulped and walked over to her.

"Yes mistress" she answered.
