✨ CHAPTER 39 ✨
“What strange man?” Logan asked with a raised eyebrow and Delaney panicked. She was scared and angry at Antoinette for opening her mouth after she had sternly warned her to keep it shut.
“I saw her a two weeks ago, after you proposed to her. She went to meet a man at your old warehouse near the mall. She gave the man money to keep her secret, and she also sleeps with him” Antoinette revealed, giving everyone present a big shock.
Logan turned to Delaney and glared at her.
First of all, what secret was she hiding from him?
Secondly, he couldn’t believe he almost got married to a woman who sleeps around.
“Delaney, do you mind explaining yourself?” Logan asked, trying to remain calm in the situation. Nobody said anything, they were waiting for Delaney to explain herself.
“Logan, how could you even believe this servant? She’s just delusional because she’s worried about her friend” Delaney sounded scared, it was visible in her voice. She blinked at Anastasia in a bid to ask for backup but Anastasia didn’t want to get involved in Logan’s wrath.
“It’s a lie! I saw you. She even warned me not to speak or she’ll kill me and my mother” Antoinette cried, angry that Delaney had the nerves to poison her best friend.
“Then show us proof” Delaney smi-rked, knowing that action speaks louder than words.
“Antoinette, do you have any proof?” Logan turned to her and she shook her head, sniffing back her tears.
“I don’t have proof, but believe me, I saw her” Antoinette whimpered.
“I’m sorry Antoinette, if you don’t have proof then I can’t believe you” Logan stated. Delaney gave Antoinette a dirty sm-irk.
“So you’re just going to let the culprit get away? She poisoned Adena and nee-ds to face the consequences!! I can’t believe you!” Antoinette cried and ran out of the lobby in tears.
“Antoinette! Wait!” Liliana went after her.
Logan looked at Delaney and scoffed. He doesn’t know whether she was guilty as charged or not, but he was surely going to investigate and find out who poisoned Adena.
Hours have gone by and there was still no news concerning Adena or her baby. Everyone waited patiently for the doctors to say something. Logan was getting impatient, he paced from one end of the lobby to the other, wondering if Adena was okay.
He didn’t want to lose his baby, but he would be glad if Adena survived instead.
“Liliana, please you should take Antoinette home with you, Damon, you and Camilla can go and stay with Zoey. I’ll stay here and wait” Logan directed.
“I’m not going anywhere until I see Adena” Antoinette insisted, folding her arms across her che-st.
“Antoinette, it’s late okay? Go home, this is a hospital and we are sort of crowding it. All of you can go, please” he said, sternly. Antoinette wanted to talk again but Liliana hushed her.
They all obeyed and went back home, including Delaney and Anastasia.
Few minutes after everyone left, Logan got a call from Damon.
? “Yes?”
? “Delaney did not leave for the mansion”
? “Which direction?”
? “Towards the mall”
? “Okay, I’ll take it from here”
He hung up and grinned. Prior to asking everyone to leave, Logan had a conversation with Damon. He asked everyone to leave because he wanted to monitor Delaney’s movement.
If she was really guilty, she would try to find a way to cover up things and that’s exactly what she’s trying to do.
Logan asked the doctor to call and inform him of any developments while he left to find Delaney.
Logan drove to his old, abandoned warehouse in a bid to find Delaney and know exactly what she was hiding.
He alighted from the car and walked stealthily over to the back of the warehouse. He heard some whispering and decided to check it out.
To his surprise, he saw Delaney talking to a man in a hoodie, could he be the strange man Antoinette was talking about?
Since it was dark, and he was wearing a black suit, he wasn’t sp-otted and easily eavesdropped on their conversation.
“Please, it’s not safe here, let’s go to your house” Delaney pleaded, tensed.
“Say what you want to say here, my house is out of bounds for now” the man replied.
“Oh God! Can you believe my secret almost got exp-osed? The little bi-tch that eavesdropped on our conversation last time, told Logan about it and he almost believed her!” Delaney sighed and face palmed herself.
“So? What do you want me to do?” The man asked.
“Look, I don’t want want to get into trouble with Logan. I don’t want him to suspect me so you have to leave this city. Go to New Jersey or San Francisco or anything! Just go. I don’t mind emptying my entire bank account for that to happen!” Delaney ranted, going crazy over the whole thing.
“Really? Then I’ll be waiting for the money” the man answered and Logan smi-rked, shaking his head.
So Antoinette was right? Delaney was hiding something from him.
He decided not to confront her there, he wanted to make her reveal the truth in front of everyone, back at the mansion.
As soon as Logan entered the car, he got a call from the doctor asking him to come over to the hospital quickly.
He was tensed and feared the worst. What if something bad had happened to Adena. He drove crazily on the road, swerving at every corner like a mad man, ignoring the traffic lights and the cops that were on his trail.
He finally got to the hospital and rushed into the doctor’s office. The pretty brunette doctor welcomed him with a smile.
“What happened? You scared me with your tone over the phone” he said, pa-nting.
“Relax Mr Stoll, have a seat”
“Don’t tell me to have a seat goddamit! Just tell me what happened to Adena?” Logan asked, getting annoyed. He was not un-derstanding anything.
“Calm down. Well, she almost went into the coma. We actually thought she wouldn’t survive but we managed to extract the poison before it damaged any vital organs” the doctor explained, giving Logan some relief.
“So she’s fine?”
“Yes”
“And the baby? How’s the baby?” He asked.
“It’s a miracle, but it seems her child is as strong as her, the baby survived. Although, she’ll be bed ridden for a few days” the doctor answered and Logan’s face lit up in excitement.
He beamed and flashed one of his biggest smiles at the doctor. He didn’t know how Adena became so important to her.
“Can I see her?” He requested.
“Sure, but be gentle, she’s still recovering” the doctor answered and directed him to Adena’s ward.
Logan felt bad to see Adena with an oxygen mask over her nose and mouth. She was awake, she turned to see him and smiled weakly.
“How are you?” He asked softly, sitting at the foot of her bed. He wanted to take her hand but there was a drip nee-dle inse-rted in it.
“Better” she answered throu-ghthe oxygen mask. Her voice came out muffled.
“I’m so happy you and the baby survived. I promise I won’t let the culprit escape” Logan said throu-ghgritted teeth.
“You sound like you already know who it is” Adena said.
“Let’s just wait and see” he said and placed his palm on her stomach.
“I’m so happy our baby is alright. I promise to do my best to keep you two safe from now on. I’ll never let anything happen to you” he said, with a lot of emotion and Adena felt her heart flutter.
Why was she attra-cted to her master?
“I’ll ask the doctor if I can take you home tomorrow morning. There’s something happening at the mansion tomorrow morning” Logan smi-rked, taking back his hand and using it to palm down his hair.
“What’s happening?” She questioned.
“You’ll find out, everyone will find out” Logan answered and smiled at her.
He stayed with her till morning, talking about random stuff, Adena was surprised at herself for actually enjoying his company.
.
Logan convinced the doctor to discharge Adena the following morning. He paid the bills and took her home in a wheelchair.
Antoinette was the first to come out and hu-g the hell out of Adena.
“I’m so happy you survived! I was so worried about you, please don’t scare me like that again! How’s the baby?” She asked.
“The baby is fine” Adena answered and Antoinette heaved a sigh of relief.
She glared at Logan, still angry that he didn’t believe her.
“Please be gentle with her, she’s fragile right now. Go and call everyone to the living room” he ordered and she left in annoyance.
“What’s going on?” Adena looked up at him. He squ-atted beside her and sighed.
“Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon enough” he replied and got up again.
Everyone came downstairs in a matter of minutes and they all welcomed Adena. Logan also invited Damon, he was also part of the family.
“So why did you want to see us?” Damon asked and Logan turned to Delaney who looked away, anxious.
“Because I want Delaney here to tell us who she went to meet by 8:15pm yesterday behind my old warehouse” he went straight to the point and Delaney gasped.
