✨ CHAPTER 30 ✨
Damon noticed how absent minded Logan was at the office that day. He was always distant during meetings and ba-rely heard what any of the organizers were saying.
When they were both in his office alone, he decided to ask him about it.
“Are you okay Logan? You seem a little distant today” Damon asked, staring intensely at Logan who was tapping his fingers non stop on the desk.
“I don’t know Damon.. I hurt Adena and she’s upset with me” he confessed much to Damon’s surprise.
“Wait.. did you just say Adena is upset with you? And you’re sulking about it?” Damon snapped his head back in laughter while Logan glared at him.
“What exactly is funny?” He queried.
“The fact that are in love with Adena and you don’t realize it” Damon replied, trying to recover from his outburst.
“I am not” Logan scoffed.
“If you know what’s good for you, you better start trying to win her heart, or you might end up losing her for good” Damon pointed out.
“Even if you were right, what about my wedding? I promised my father that I would marry Delaney” Logan said.
“I’m sure your father would want you to do what makes you happy” Damon said, making Logan go into de-ep thought.
Could his best friend be right? Is he falling for his slave? He shook his head and hissed.
After work that day, Logan got home and met Adena asleep. She has been sleeping a lot lately. He didn’t wake her, he had his bath and went down to have dinner.
He spent the rest of the night talking about the wedding preparations with Delaney, although it wasn’t what he wanted.
All he could think about was Adena, he wanted to see her, talk to her and look into her mesmerizing green eyes again.
The wedding date was fast approaching and soon he would be taking vows with Delaney, the thought of it made him gag. He had never loved Delaney, not even for one day, if anything, she was just a mere item of s3x to him.
At around midnight, he returned to his room and this time, Adena was awake. She glared at him when he entered and it amused him.
“What? Why are you looking at me like that?” He asked, settling on the bed.
“I’m sorry about that” she pouted.
“But umm.. it’s a bit cold tonight. I hope you won’t be having another nightmare because I’m sick of taking care of you” she rolled her eyes.
Logan was a bit excited to know that she cared about him, even though she was being sarcastic about it.
“Why don’t keep me warm tonight, that way, I won’t have any nightmares” he grinned and walked over to her.
Adena feared that he was going to have his way with her again. She remained quiet as Logan bent down to untie her. She received the shock of her life when he lifted her off the floor and dropped her gently on his bed. She continued to watch in awe as he took off his clothes and wore a robe instead. Then he climbed into the bed, next to her.
He curled his arm around her wai-st and pulled her closer to himself but she continued to tremble.
“Don’t be shocked” he said.
“I’m just scared”
Those were the last words Adena was expecting to hear from this ha-rdened man. She blinked at him, giving him a look that meant, “did I hear you well?”
Logan sighed and pulled her in closer.
“I know you weren’t expecting to hear that from me but it’s the truth. Even tough guys like me get scared. I’m scared of having another nightmare, it’s the scariest thing in the world” he confessed.
Adena was taking in his soothing scent, with her eyes shut, and paying attention to him.
“What are they about? Your nightmares?” She asked, in a whisper.
“My father’s death, my sisters and my mother’s deaths” Logan confessed and Adena gasped.
“Wha.. what happened to them?” She asked.
Logan took a de-ep breath and was quiet for a while. He trailed his finger from Adena’s back, to her hair, allowing his fingers to comb throu-ghher hair. Adena felt shivers down her spine with every touch from him.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it” she whispered.
“No, it’s fine. I wanna talk about it”
Adena did not expect Logan to ever be like this, so soft, so vulnerable and calm.
“It all happened sixteen years ago” he began.
? Flashback ?
Nine year old Logan was coming downstairs to show his mom and dad the awesome drawing he made when he heard them arguing. He hid near the staircase to listen to what they were saying.
“This is all your fault! If you had just left them alone when I told you to, all this wouldn’t have happened!” His mother yelled with tears in her eyes. She struggled to keep them back but the tears flowed freely. Why wouldn’t she cry? Her family was un-der attack.
“Sarah, you are just making matters worse. You nee-d to take Logan, Maurice and Maureen away from here. Your safety matters most” his father, a stern faced man said, fear evident in his voice.
“And you? What about you?”
“I have to stay here and fight, till my last breath” he answered.
Logan was shocked by this and ran back upstairs. He went to his sisters and told them everything he heard. Maureen and Maurice were twins, they were 12 years old and very beautiful girls.
The three of them confronted their parents about the issue but we’re shunned. The twins decided to let it go but Logan was bent on finding out more.
The following night, Sarah woke her children up and told them that they were taking a surprise trip to the UK.
“It’s because dangerous people are coming after daddy right?” Logan questioned and Sarah fought to hold back her tears.
“Logan, nothing like that is happening. We are just going to the UK for a vacation” Sarah for-ced a smile.
“Awesome! A vacation!” The twins chorus but Logan wasn’t convinced.
Sarah called in Liliana who helped her to pack everybody’s bags and they headed out to the car. Dean, Logan’s father followed them, he decided to accompany his family to the airport at least to say his goodbyes. He wasn’t sure if he would see them again.
On their way to the airport, it started to rain. Just a few miles away from the airport, Dean noticed a car following them. He asked the driver to go fas-ter but they were cornered by that car and two other cars.
Immediately, several shots were fired at their car and the children screamed in horror.
“Take the kids a run!” Dean said to Sarah, giving them shelter and allowing them to sneak out throu-ghthe other door. He brou-ght out his own gun and shot at the attackers while Sarah, Liliana and the kids ran in the direction of the woods.
“Ahhhh!!” Maureen screamed and dropped down to the floor. A bullet had hit her on the leg and Maurice stayed back to help her twin.
“Liliana, take Logan and run. I’ll get them” Sarah ordered and rushed towards her daughters. Liliana tried to pull Logan with her but the stubborn boy got free from her grip and started running towards his mother and sisters.
“Logan!! Come back Logan!!” Liliana followed him in the rain. She managed to catch up with him and pulled him behind a small bush where they had to lie on their stomachs and watch the tragedy befall on the family.
“Mom!” Maureen yelled, blood oozing out from her leg. Sarah rushed to her and carried her in her arm while she dragged Maurice in the other hand.
A loud gunshot stopped her on her tracks and she turned around only to see her husband lying dead on the floor, blood oozing from his head.
“God!! Nooo!!” She yelled out in horror.
Logan screamed from the bush when he saw what happened, Liliana covered his mouth and bit down on her li-p.
These attackers didn’t stop there, they caught Sarah and the twins too and made them lie on their stomachs. Logan struggled to go and help them. But there wasn’t much he could do, he was just a little boy, so Liliana held him back.
Logan watched in great horror as one of the men raised his machete and separated his father’s head from the rest of his body. They did the same to the little girls. It was a blood bath. The cruel men decided to rap-e Sarah one after the other and when they saw that she was dead, they left her body and ran.
What’s weird is that no other car took that route that night. It’s like all roads were closed, just for this to happen.
Logan ran out of his hiding place and rushed out of his hiding place and went to where his family was lying, beheaded and cold.
He screamed and wailed, running from his father’s body, to his mother, to his sisters. Nobody was responding to her. His heart was broken, broken beyond repair.
He watched his family being murdered in cold blood, at such a young age. It left him broken, it made him hate everything, it made him hate everyone.
Liliana stood there crying in the rain, wondering why such a terrible thing befell the innocent boy. She tried to console him but he didn’t want to be consoled. He lost all the ability to feel anything.. apart from anger. All he wanted was revenge.. he was thirsty for the blood of those who spilled the blood of his beloved family…
? Back to reality ?
“And I did.. I found the b@stard, and I killed him. I took him apart inch by inch, until all the parts of his body was littered in his room” Logan’s eyes were red, with anger and fear.
Adena’s clothes were already drenched in tears, she felt so much pity for Logan, she snuck her hands around him and hu-gged him ti-ghtly.
“Why did he do that?” She mumbled.
“Power.. it makes men do unbelievable things” Logan answered and buried his face in Adena’s hair. She cried endlessly in his arms, his terrible childhood made her remember hers as well.
Growing up without parents was hell for her.
“Don’t cry, it’s okay” he placed small pats on her back. He tried to fight back his own tears. The memories were still fresh in his mind.
“My story isn’t over yet” he chuckled.
