✨ CHAPTER 40 ✨
“What are you talking about?” Delaney blinked at Logan who smi-rked at her. With his hands behind him, he walked over to her, and stood directly over her, peering into her soul, throu-ghher eyes. She felt her heart sink into stomach as she struggled to keep eye contact with him.
“You know exactly what I’m talking about” Logan said in a husky voice. Everyone was surprised and couldn’t wait to find out what was happening.
“Logan, what is this all this embarras-sment for? Why are you doing this? First you call of our wedding, now you’re belittling me in front of everyone!” Delaney screamed, trying to act like she didn’t know what Logan was talking about.
Logan chuckled and pas-sed his fingers throu-ghhis hair.
“So.. you want to stand here and lie to my face? I hope you haven’t forgotten who I am and what I can do to you” he paused and lowered his head to her face, making sure she felt his breath on her.
“I won’t hesitate to have my men stri-p you and torture you until you talk. So what’s it gonna be? The easy way? Or the ha-rd way?” He smi-rked and she swallowed the lump in her throat.
Delaney knew that Logan never made empty threats, she was terrified. Her heart sank into her stomach and she racked her Br@in for excuses but found none.
“For Fu-ck’s sake!! Stop wasting my time Delaney!!” Logan thun-dered and she whimpered.
“Who was that man? And what were you two talking about? Tell me!!” He continued to rage and Delaney burst out crying.
“You think your tears will move me huh?” He scoffed and called in Buster.
“Take her out, stri-p her and whip her until she talks. I’m not here for jokes” he said and Liliana gasped. Infact, nobody was happy with Logan’s decision but they didn’t dare to talk.
“No, no! Please, I will tell you everything.. please” Delaney said, sniffing back her tears and falling at Logan’s feet. She had accepted defeat.
It’s either she dies in Buster’s arms or in Logan’s arms. Either way, she was still going to die so there was no point in keeping it any longer.
“I’m sorry Logan. I’m sorry. I did it because I love you. You know I have always loved you. I never wanted to see you die..” she wiped her tears and looked up at him. He wasn’t smiling at all.
“I’ll tell you everything”..
⏮️ Flashback ⏮️
“What do you want? I’ve told you to stop stalking me but you keep following me.. why won’t you let me be?” Delaney asked, furious and annoyed.
She was tied to a chair, in a dark room, with the scar faced man grinning at her, holding a pistol. His gun didn’t scare her.
“Look sweetheart, if you cooperate with me, I’ll let you leave with your head” the scar faced man said in a husky tone, she rolled her eyes at him.
Who was he?
He is a top business man, one of the riche-st. Xander. He was also a rival of Logan’s dad and didn’t like it that Logan was rising quickly and would soon overtake him.
“I’d rather die than betray Logan” she spat in his face and he chuckled before giving her a ha-rd slap across the face.
Delaney was bleeding from her nose and li-p due to the slap, but she didn’t even care.
“You really love him that much huh?” Xander asked.
“What if I tell you right now that I have eyes watching Logan.. and if you don’t give me what I want, I will order them to kill him” he smi-rked and she gasped.
“You can’t do that! Logan has security everywhere” she said.
“Oh really? What if I tell you again, that one of the guards working for him, is actually working for me?” He continued and her eyes almost popped out from their sockets.
“All I nee-d to do is send the command, and Logan is a dead man. Think about it sweetie, if you don’t want your man dead, give me what I want” he said and grinned.
“You have 24 hours” he said and left the room.
Delaney was left confused. Could it be that Xander actually planted one of his men to work for Logan? If this is the truth then Logan is definitely in danger.
Delaney had gone to see her friend Anastasia in their hometown when Xander nabbed her and brou-ght her here. Nobody knew her whereabouts. She made a mistake by not informing Anastasia that she was coming. Now Logan was thinking that she is with Anastasia.
The next morning, Xander came back into the room to check on her. He sat across her as usual and smi-rked at her.
“Made up your mind yet?” He arched a brow at her.
Delaney sighed, she wasn’t left with much option. If she doesn’t give Xander what he wants, he will end up killing Logan. She loved Logan too much to let him die just like that. She thought it would be better to give him the information he nee-ded.
“Will you tell me what I nee-d to know, or should I make the call?” He asked, shoving out his phone from his pocket. He began to dial the number, it rang and a man answered it.
“Boss? I’m outside Logan’s room, should I go ahead with the plan?”
Xander placed the call on loudspeaker for Delaney to hear.
He kidnapped her because she was his betrothed and she basically knew everything about him. Plus, she was an easier target than Damon.
“No, please don’t let him kill Logan. I will tell you everything” Delaney gave in, scared.
“Good girl” Xander hung up the call.
“I’m listening”
Delaney told him everything, from the secret pas-swords to his shareholders information. All Logan’s connections and sources. She was devastated that she betrayed him, but she thought she was saving his life.
Xander recorded everything, apart from himself. He recorded Delaney giving out information about Logan, threatening to exp-ose her to Logan if she tried to tell him what happened there.
Yes, he became her blackmailer.
After a few years, Xander went bankrupt, and he blackmailed Delaney into giving him money and s3x with the video he has.
Out of fear of being rejected by Logan, Delaney had to do Xander’s bidding all these years. She lost everything all because of him.
▶️ Back to reality ▶️
“Delaney!!” Logan screamed, bi-ting his li-p spitefully. He couldn’t believe what he just heard. So she was the reason why he lost everything, the reason why he had to start from scratch to build himself.
“I told you all, but you wouldn’t believe me” Antoinette said, folding her arms.
Adena already had tears streaming down her cheeks. She felt bad for Delaney. Though she did a very bad thing, she was still a victim.
“And.. did you poison Adena?” Logan asked and Delaney sniffed. She nodded, much to the surprise of everyone, except Antoinette.
“What!?” Liliana yelled.
“God! You’re despicable!” Damon added, disgusted.
“I’m sorry, I did it out jealousy. After sacrificing myself all these years for Logan, he abandoned me for her.. I didn’t think straight. I thought poisoning her was the best option” Delaney explained, sobbing.
“Is it my fault?” Adena spoke and everyone turned to her.
“Is it my fault that Logan bought me from the boarding school? Is it my fault that he abused me? That he slept with me without protection, against my will? Is it my fault that I got pregnant? Against my will??” Adena wept uncontrollably.
Antoinette leaned on her to console her.
“Why did you poison me? Why did you want to kill me? I was on my own when Logan decided to buy me! Why!?” She screamed and Antoinette ru-bbed her back in a bid to calm her.
Logan felt terrible, in a way, this was his fault.
“Just take me to my room.” Adena said, wiping her tears. She was very heartbroken and angry.
All her life, she has always faced rejection and hatred, but why?
She never hurt anyone.. she never thought bad for anyone!
Logan ordered Buster to carry Adena up to her room since she couldn’t walk on her own yet.
“Delaney, I am disappointed in you. I really don’t know what came over you but I won’t spare you for trying to poison Adena” he said and she wept.
“I’m sorry Logan.. it’s because I love you. I love you so much and I can’t afford to lose you. I did everything I did because of my love for you” she cried bitterly.
“Damon, lock her in her room until I figure out what to do with her. After that, I want you to track down Xander” Logan ordered and Damon nodded. He dragged Delaney to her room and locked her up and then left to do some research on Xander.
Logan didn’t have the mind to approach Adena that night. She was de-eply hurt and probably angry with him. He decided to let her be in his room and went to sleep in another room which was close to Delaney’s room.
He ba-rely slept though, he kept on thinking of everything that happened. He couldn’t think of a punishment for Delaney.. because somehow, he was guilty too.
He heard a loud clattering coming from Delaney’s room and he dashed out of his room to check on her. He unlocked the door and pushed it open only to meet a very gruesome sight.
She was lying there with a dagger de-ep inside her che-st, and in a pool of her own blood.
“Delaney..! What have you done!!?”
