✨ CHAPTER 48 ✨
“What?”
“Yes Adena. I am in love with you.. there, I said it” Logan fell back into the chair and breathed out loudly.
Adena stared at him, awestruck. She never expected him to be in love with her, she thought he was only being nice because of the baby in her wo-mb, little did she know that he had such feelings for her.
“Look, I know you’re surprised. I honestly don’t expect you to say anything to me right now. It’s fine. I know you hate me, it’s fine too. I just wanted you to know how I feel about you” Logan said, hurt by his own words.. she hates him.
“I.. I don’t hate you” Adena mumbled.
“You treated me really badly, but it’s not your fault. It’s mine. I have only known pain ever since I was born” she paused, glanced at him and sniffed back the tears that were threatening to fall.
“My parents died in an accident after my birth. We were on our way back home from the hospital when the accident happened, I miraculously survived. Then, my uncle took me in, and maltreated me before selling me off to the boarding school where you bought me from” she narrated, the tears she was holding back fell freely down her cheeks.
Logan did not like to see her cry, he felt sorry that she also had a terrible childhood, and he contributed to it.
“So yeah, I don’t hate you, I just hate my life” she added. Logan stood up and walked over to her, he got on one knee in front of her and gently dabbed her tears with his thumb.
“I’m sorry for everything I put you throu-gh.. I’m sorry for all you had to bear, if you give me the chance to love you, I promise I’ll make up for everything” he said and she stared into his eyes.
“I don’t know about that” she said.
Adena didn’t want to trust him, she fought with her emotions, trying to resist his charms that keep drawing her to him. She refused to believe that she had feelings for him.
It made her happy that he loved her, but at the same time, wouldn’t it be weird and toxic to be in a relationship with someone who r@ped and abused you?
“Please Adena” he said.
“Oh look, it stopped raining. We should get going, the others must be waiting for us” she got to her feet, changing the topic. Logan sighed in disappointment and got to his feet as well.
“I guess so” he said and left.
Adena stood there, watching him leave. She was surprised, could he be heartbroken? Well, it wasn’t her fault, she still had doubts.
She quickly followed him outside. They got into the car and drove to Damon’s house.
The days went by quickly, and the wedding date was fast approaching. Adena and Logan didn’t speak much to each other, she thought it was best to avoid him, because she didn’t want feelings to escalate. And he was heartbroken, because she didn’t accept him after confessing his feelings to her.
Logan decided to let her be, but that was ha-rd considering that he couldn’t get her off his mind. She was all he thought about, at home, at work, while eating, while sleeping!
She was everywhere!
How on earth was he going to get rid of his feelings? He couldn’t. He had to live with the fact that the love of his life might never love him back.
***********
? Wedding Day ?
“And now, for the finishing touch, a sparkling tiara” Antoinette said as she placed a diamond tiara on Camilla’s head.
“Oh my gosh.. she looks so gorgeous!” Adena cooed, smiling warmly at Camilla.
Camilla was beautifully adorned by Antoinette and Adena for her wedding, along with some hair and makeup professionals of course.
Her gown was long and gorgeous, with a beautiful veil and tiara, not forgetting the dashing pair of silver stilettos she was wearing. There has never been a prettier bride!
“Damon is totally going to lose balance once he sees you” Antoinette giggled and the others joined in.
“I can’t wait for my wedding..!” Antoinette danced around while Adena laughed.
“Is everything ready? The car is here, we nee-d to get to the venue” Liliana said, entering the room.
They were having the wedding in a grand hall. Then the reception at Damon’s house.
Camilla was full of smiles as she majestically made her way downstairs and into the car. Adena sat with her in the car while Antoinette and Liliana took another car.
“Adena” Camilla called.
“Yes? Is there a problem?”
“What do you want?” She asked.
“I don’t un-derstand” Adena chuckled.
“Tyson or Logan?” Camilla said and Adena froze.
“Yes. They are both my brothers and I don’t like what you’re doing to them. You’ve left both men heartbroken. Are you going to give Logan his child and go for Tyson or will you build a home with Logan?” Camilla questioned and Adena sighed.
It was a very difficult question, but she had to answer.
“I just want to be free from everything. I’ve been a prisoner from birth. I want to be free, I don’t want anything to do with love for now. I’m going to give Logan his child and I’m going to leave everything and everyone” Adena answered, staring out the window, looking at objects as they drove past them.
“It’s fine. Whatever decision you make, is fine by me. You should do what makes you happy. Just that, I don’t like to see my brothers heartbroken” Camilla said and Adena sighed.
She did not mean to break their hearts. But her sanity depends on this. Her freedom, her happiness..
Maybe after discovering herself, she would come back..
They arrived at the hall and the ceremony was almost starting. Liliana rushed to put things in order while Adena and Antoinette got the bride ready to walk down the aisle.
Tyson was to walk her down the aisle, since he’s the only brother she had.
“Is everything ready?” He asked, meeting them in the veranda.
“Yes, we’re ready” Antoinette answered.
“You look beautiful pumpkin” Tyson said and ki-ssed Camilla’s forehead.
“I’m so happy, my little girl is all grown up” he added and she hu-gged him.
“Let’s go” she whispered and locked arms with him. Tyson took a glance at Adena and smiled at her, a smile that meant “no ha-rd feelings”. She smiled back and left with Antoinette into the hall.
Damon stood at the altar, nervously waiting for Camilla to show up. He couldn’t hide his excitement. Logan, who was his best man, was standing behind him, cheering him on.
Zoey insisted on being the chief bride’s maid, she was also beautiful adorned, and happened to be the happiest one there.
Everyone got to their feet as the bride made her way in. Damon smiled broadly on seeing her, and couldn’t wait to marry her.
The ceremony began, and it was a successful one. As soon as it was over, the congratulations poured in. Damon and Camilla spent hours greeting people who attended their wedding. These included influential business men and top politicians. It was a flamboyant ceremony and anyone could attest to that.
The reception party took place later in the evening. There was lots to eat and drink and lots of fun events as well.
Adena and Antoinette were tied up with work, trying to serve everyone.
“Hey, you nee-d to rest” Logan said to Adena, taking a tray from her.
“There are many servants to do that”
“Yes I know, but it’s Damon’s wedding, I want to help” she insisted.
“And I said you’re not working again” he sounded stern.
“We have more than enough servants to work” he added and called for Antoinette.
“You too, you should rest please. I don’t want you two doing anything tonight, just have fun and enjoy the party. Remember you’re pregnant Adena” he said and she nodded.
He walked away leaving them alone.
“Where’s ma?”
“Supervising the workers in the kitchen” Antoinette replied.
“I’m going to lie down upstairs. I feel dizzy and tired” she informed.
“Oh okay, I’ll be up to check on you from time to time”
“Thank you”
Adena left for one of the guests rooms while Antoinette went to meet Tyson who was sitting alone by the bar.
“Hi Tyson” she had to yell, considering the loud music.
“Hi dear” he yelled back.
“Why are you sitting here all by yourself? Come on, let’s dance” she said, moving slowly to the music. Tyson chuckled at her dance steps, they were unusual.
“I don’t feel like dancing Antoinette, you go ahead” he said.
“You shouldn’t be sad on such a happy occasion. I know you’re hurt, but try to look on the bright side..” she said.
“What bright side?” He asked.
“You’re still a hottie and those girls are oogling at you” she said, pointing to a group of women opposite them.
“How is that a bright side?” He laughed.
“You can try your pickup skills” she winked and he laughed even more.
“You’re something Antoinette” he tried to catch his breath.
“Common, I’ll be your wingman” she nudged his arm.
“Nah.. I think I’d rather dance with you” he said and took her hand. They proceeded to the dance floor where the bride and groom were dancing joyfully.
