Chapter 77

"Good morning my lady"

Adena opened her eyes only to see two servants standing at the foot of her bed, each holding a tray filled with different lotions, perfumes and what looked like clothes.

She was surprised because that has never happened before. She wondered what they wanted.

"Good morning" she rubbed her eyes and sat up on the bed, still covered with a blanket.

"My lady, it's time for your bath" one of them, the blonde one said.

She looked around the room and back at the servants. Were they referring to her? As 'my lady?'

"Why?" She asked.

"Master ordered us to" the dark haired one replied with a smile.

Adena was surprised. Why would Logan ask them to give her a bath? What's the special treatment all about?

"Um.. okay then" she answered and reluctantly got out of the bed.

The ladies led her into the bathroom where they had already run a warm bath. She got rid of her clothes and climbed into the bathtub. The ladies poured in some of the scented oils into the water, and some milk as well, filling the room with a pleasing scent.

They used a soft sponge to scrub her body while she watched them and enjoyed the whole thing. While one of them continued to scrub her body, the other one proceeded to her hair. She shampooed the hair, conditioned it and oiled it with some of the scented oils.

Adena's big red hair which has been messy for days became soft and shiny.

When they were done massaging her body with oil, she stepped out of the shower and they dried her body with a new towel. She wasn't even allowed to lift a finger to do anything.

Adena was led back into the room where a new pair of underwear was presented to her. She insisted on wearing it by herself and she did.

"My lady, would you prefer dark blue or black?" The blonde asked.

"Black will do" she nodded at her and the servant unwrapped a brand new black dress and exposed the full length before her. It was a gorgeous high slit gown which had gold encrusted along the slits. It was a strapless and tight fitting gown, very classy.

Adena had never worn something like that all her life. She drooled over the outfit, and couldn't wait to put it on.

The servants helped her wear it and she hushed over herself in the mirror.

"I look different" she smiled at her reflection.

"You look beautiful" the dark haired one said and she giggled.

"Thank you"

"It's time for your hair and makeup" the servant added.

Adena blinked at them in surprise, makeup?? She has never applied makeup before. It's funny that she is already the most beautiful girl in the room without makeup.

Adena sat in front of the dressing mirror while the servants worked magic on her face. She enjoyed the process, even though it was long. After much effort and time, they were finally done and revealed her new look to her. She gasped.

"Is that me?"

She had her hair rolled into a big, beat bun, with a few strands falling from either sides of her head. She mimed her lips together, unable to get enough of the beautiful red lipstick.

"Yes, it's you" the blonde answered. The other servant got her silver stilettos. Adena's eyes widened at them. She didn't know if she could walk in them. They convinced her to wear it and trained her for a few minutes before she got the hang of it.

"Master is waiting" they informed and left.

Adena took deep breaths before leaving the room to meet Logan.

Logan was by the bar in the living room, having a cocktail. He was sipping from his glass, when the sound of Adena's silver stilettos kissing the floor, distracted him.

He turned only for his jaw to drop on seeing her. He couldn't believe she was the one, she looked effortlessly beautiful in the black dress.. and her confidence while climbing down the stairs caught his attention.

Adena noticed that Logan was drooling over her, and she couldn't help but blush. She met him at the foot of the stairs. He took her hand and kissed the back of her palm.

"You look so beautiful" he said and she smiled. Has he really changed?

"Logan, what is all this about? Why did you have the maids doll me up like this?" She asked and he smiled.

"We're going out. I realized you haven't seen much of the city, infact, you haven't seen much of this world. You've been caged ever since you were born. I want to change that" he said, looking at her like he was going to die if he didn't.

"I like the dress" Adena ignored his reply and continued to admire her dress. She was still a child anyways, she fancied stuff like this.

Logan smirked.

"I picked out this one by myself" he bragged.

"Then you have good taste" she commended and he chuckled.

"Let's get going, we're having breakfast at a breakfast cafe a few miles from here" he said, taking her hand and leading her out of the house.

Antoinette waved at Adena, blowing kisses at her.

Adena was allowed to sit in Logan's car, not as a prisoner or a slave, but instead, as his date??

The drive was quiet, Logan was still sad by the fact that she does not like him. And Adena felt bad for calling him a monster the previous night.

They finally arrived at the cafe and Logan opened the door for her. All eyes fell on her as soon as she stepped out from the car. No doubt, she was gorgeous.

Some were looking at her in admiration, others in jealousy. Logan asked her to ignore the stares and led her into the cafe.

The whole cafe had been reserved for them alone, so it was empty. Only the workers were allowed to stay.

"Welcome to Dino's breakfast cafe. Please follow me to your table" one of the waitresses said, shooting glares at Adena. They followed her to their table and got seated.

Adena noticed that the waitress was jealous of her, considering that she was with Logan. She rolled her eyes.

"Adena, what would you like to have?" Logan asked her.

"Um, waffles and bacon" she answered.

"Get her that, with orange juice. And get me pancakes alone" Logan said to the waitress who nodded and left.

"I didn't say orange juice" Adena said.

"Yes but it's necessary, because of your condition" Logan replied, referring to her pregnancy.

"Whatever. I think the waitress likes you" she whispered to him and giggled.

"I'm used to it" he grinned, bragging.

"If they knew the kind of person you are, I'm sure they'll run without looking back" she rolled her eyes at him.

"Hey, I'm trying to be a better person here. Just let me show you" he said and she sighed, keeping quiet.

The waitress brought their food and they ate quietly.

"So where are we going after now?" She asked, breaking the awkward silence.

"Anywhere you want" he answered and her face lit up with excitement.

"Can we go to a theme park?!" She squealed.

"Um.. it's a little too early for a theme park" he said and she pouted.

"Why don't we go to a mall, and see a movie after that" Logan suggested.

"Mall?" She dropped her fork and sighed, lost in her fantasies. She'd never been to a mall, never in her life. She has heard Antoinette talk about it a lot, she has always wanted to go.

"Helloo??" Logan snapped his fingers in front of her, bringing her back to reality.

"Yes, the mall sounds good!" She agreed and he nodded.

"Great then. Eat up, so we can leave" he said and she picked up her fork to eat.

After eating, Adena needed to use to restroom and Logan had to wait for her.

Adena was in the restroom, wondering why Logan was doing all this. She liked it though, but she didn't understand it.

"Did you see the girl he came with?" Adena heard voices outside her booth and she decided to listen.

"Yeah, she's pretty"

"I think she's full of herself."

"Why?"

"Just because Logan is giving her special treatment, she thinks she's hot stuff. Let her just wait until he dumps her sorry a$$"

Adena rolled her eyes and came out from the booth. The ladies were shocked to see her. One of them was the waitress that attended to them.

"Don't you ladies have anything better to do? Gossips!" She glared at them while washing her hands in the sink.

"At least he looked my way, heaven knows he'll never take a second look at your ugly face" Adena fired at the waitress, revealing her rebel side.

"You know what you look like?" She asked, facing her. The waitress kept quiet.

"What's that big, ugly thing from the ape family.. oh right! An orangutan!! That's what you look like. Ugly a$$ b*tch" she hissed and swayed her hips away.

Adena was shocked to meet Logan right outside and he was grinning at her.

"What?" He asked.

"I heard all you said, you're feisty" he said and she giggled.

"She started it" she rolled her eyes and tried walking away but he pulled her back, making her stand inches away from him.

"Be mine" he whispered, she froze.


"Be mine".

Adena stared at him endlessly, surprised by the words that just came out of him.

He just asked her to be his! She didn't know what to answer to that. What about Tyson? He told her that he'd be back for her. She didn't want to break his heart, for a man that tortured her.

"I.. I.. um" she stuttered, freeing herself from his strong grip.

"We should get going. To the mall" she said and left for the car.

Logan sighed and went after her. He promised to do everything he could, to prove to her that he had changed, that he loved her.

He knew it wasn't going to be easy, since Adena was just as stubborn as him, but he wasn't going to give up. For once in his life, he would do something, for the sake of love.

"Ready?" He asked, igniting the car. Adena nodded and they drove off to the mall.

Logan was ready to pay for anything that Adena chose and she managed to pick out quite a lot of things. It was her first time there, and the excitement was too much.

After shopping, they went to see a movie at a theatre.

.

"Zoey!!" Camilla called at the top of her lungs, she groaned and entered the kitchen. She finally found Zoey eating cookies beside the refrigerator.

"Why are you so naughty?" Camilla asked, taking the jar of cookies from her and placing it at the top of the refrigerator.

"I just wanted some cookies and you refused to give it to me" Zoey whined.

"Goodness! You already had eight! This morning alone!" Camilla groaned loudly and led her out of the kitchen.

Camilla loved Zoey, like her own daughter, but the little girl can be very naughty sometimes. Coupled with the fact that she has been feeling lonely lately.

Damon was usually either at work or at Logan's house. They're fixing Delaney's funeral and a lot of work had to be done since Delaney had no family, only distant cousins.

Damon was supposed to be planning their wedding, but he's always busy.

"Look Zoey, I don't mean to yell at you, it's just I'm tired. Help me out here okay?" She said to the little girl and sighed.

"Just go to your room and play on your phone. I have a lot to do around here" Camilla said and Zoey went upstairs without saying a word.

Camilla proceeded to clean the kitchen when she heard Damon's car pull over in the front yard. It had already started raining, maybe that's why he came back.

"Sweetheart" he called, entering the house. Camilla came out from the kitchen to meet him.

"You're back" she said.

Damon noticed that she was stressed out and unhappy. He realized that he hasn't been around lately, he also was missing her.

"Have you had anything to eat this morning babe?" He asked, shaking the water off his jacket. The rain beat him a little bit on the short trip from the yard to the house.

"I'm fine" she answered.

"Are you upset with me?" He asked, walking over to her. He took her hand and placed his forehead on hers.

"I dunno" she answered lazily.

"I'm sorry for being absent lately. I promise to make it up to you. As soon as Delaney's funeral is done, you'll have my undivided attention. I promise" he said, whole heatedly and she sighed.

She cupped his cheek in her palms and caressed them.

"Would you at least stay home today?" She asked.

"I will. If that's what you want but u have to run a quick errand" he answered.

"What errand?"

"I have to get some files to the office, then I'll be back to spend the rest of the day with you" he explained.

"You promise?"

"I promise sweetie" he assured and placed a kiss on her lips.

"I'll see you soon" he said, heading upstairs to get the files.

"Take an umbrella! The rain is getting heavy!" She yelled after him and went to continue her cleaning.

.

"It's raining so much this early morning" Adena pointed out. They finished watching their movie and are now stuck inside the theatre with a bunch of others.

Logan did not like rain. It always reminded him of the night his family died. It was raining heavily that night, since then, rain brought him negative vibes and mixed feelings.

They would have run towards their car but Logan hated the thought of a single drop of rain touching him.

Adena knew this and didn't try to change his mind. She realized how much it hurt him to think about that calamity so she was fine with staying in the theatre until the rain stopped completely.

"Sit down, you've been standing for long. This rain doesn't look like it'll be stopping anytime soon" Logan said and Adena took a seat next to him.

Other people started to leave one after the other until only the two of them were left inside the dark movie theatre.

"It's scary in here" Adena huffed.

"What's scaring you while I'm here?" Logan asked, smirking. She rolled her eyes at him.

"Tell me Adena, do you love Tyson?" He asked, out of the blue. He was having feelings that she was turning him down because of Tyson. They did share a special relationship.

"I don't know, maybe" she answered.

"But you're carrying my child" he reminded and she groaned.

"I know that. Remember you promised to set me free after I give birth to your child. I may go and start a new life with Tyson, who really loves me" she answered, fixing her eyes on the big projector screen.

"Really? Is that what you think?" He asked and got to his feet.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"To the restroom. I'll be out in a minute" he answered and left
