✨ CHAPTER 49✨
? SEMI FINALE ?
Seven Months Later….
“Here is your soup, hot and spicy, just the way you like it” Antoinette giggled, dropping the tray in front of Adena.
“Stop it. You know I hate this soup” she whined, squeezing her face. The aroma from the soup always made her feel like throwing up. It had a lot of herbs in it and Liliana insisted that she must take it every morning.
Adena was close to labour, it’s her ninth month and she could start getting contractions any minute. Since she was still very young, Liliana prepared some local herbs to help her, not forgetting frequent hospital check ups.
“Drink up and stop complaining. You know it’s for your own good” Antoinette said, fli-pping back her hair.
“Is she being stubborn again?” Logan came out from the bathroom, wrapped in his robe.
“Yes. She won’t take the soup” Antoinette answered and Adena glared at her.
“No worries, I’ll make her take it. You can go ahead and do other things” he said and Antoinette nodded before sticking her tongue out at Adena and leaving.
“You know how important it is that you take the soup. Are you going to take it or am I going to have to feed you myself?” He asked, sitting in front of her.
Adena had her legs widely spread out, with the tray between her legs. Her baby bump was big, and round and blocked her view most of the time.
“Feed me then” she beamed and he chuckled.
Logan took the bowl of soup, scooped a little bit with the spoon and blew on it before feeding it to her. She shuddered and struggled to swallow it.
Logan and Adena grew close in these past few months. Yes, she still had not admitted that she loved him, but she had warned up to him, a lot. He became her biggest support, and she knew de-ep down that she also had feelings for him.
Logan on the other hand, decided not to disturb her with love matters anymore. He just wanted her to give birth to their child safely. He still loved her, infact his love for her grew everyday, she could see it.. they both could.
“Good girl, you finished it” he said and smiled at her.
“I’m never taking that soup again” she gagged.
“Silly. You’re taking it again tomorrow morning” he laughed and she huffed tiredly.
“How is my baby?” Logan asked, placing his hand on her baby bump. She smiled warmly and tou-ched her belly too.
“He’s fine” she answered.
“He?” Logan raised a brow at her.
“I’m pretty sure it’s a her” he stated.
“No, it’s going to be a boy. I want a son, a handsome boy just like his father” Adena argued and she caught Logan blus-h for a second.
“You bluntly refused to do a scan to find out the gender, so we’ll keep on guessing” he said.
“Yes, because I want to be surprised” she answered.
“As you wish. But it’s a baby girl” he winked before getting up. He walked over to the closet and pulled out a black suit.
“Are you going out?” She asked.
“Yes, remember the Chinese endorsement from seven months ago? The case is going to be finalized today” he said.
“Wow. Okay” she said and lay back on her pillow.
“I’m going to miss you” she sighed.
Adena had become very attached to him, she hated the days that he had to travel or go to work.
“You know I’ll miss you too babe” he said and she blus-hed.
“Do you want me to get you anything on my way back?” He asked, putting on the suit, fas-ter than you’d expect. She remained quiet until he finished dressing up and came to sit next to her.
He put his arm around her ne-ck and ki-ssed her cheek.
“I will be back before you know it. I’ll get you mangoes” he said and she giggled.
“Okay then”
“Take care of yourself, and my baby” he pec-ked her bump and winked at her before grabbing his suitcase and leaving the room.
Adena sighed and struggled to get out of bed to use the bathroom. It was a difficult task for her to get up with her pregnancy. It usually took so many minutes for her to stand up. She finally succeeded and walked lazily into the bathroom.
…
Camilla entered the mansion with Zoey, they both wore matching floral gowns and had their hair in ponytails. Zoey had insisted on dressing up like Camilla.
Damon and Camilla officially adopted Zoey as their daughter after their wedding, and Zoey finally had the mother she had always wanted.
“Hey fam!!” Camilla squealed, meeting them in the living room.
“Omg.. it’s double Camilla” Antoinette gasped and Zoey giggled.
“No aunt, it’s double Zoey” she said.
“Oh, forgive me.. double Zoey”
Everyone burst out laughing.
“What brings you here Camilla?” Liliana asked.
“Well, Damon had to leave for some Chinese endorsement stuff and we were bored at home. So we decided to come over” she answered and Adena Gr0-ned.
“Tell me about it. Logan has been gone all morning!” She Gr0-ned again.
“Are you missing your boo?” Antoinette teased.
“Look who’s talking! I know you spend nights talking to Tyson over the landline!” Adena stuck out her tongue and Antoinette frowned.
Tyson and Antoinette had over the months become good friends, although their relationship wasn’t defined.
“That’s enough, both of you. You act like children” Camilla rolled her eyes.
“But they are just children” Liliana shrugged.
Zoey ran over to Adena and placed her ear on the baby bump.
“Hello baby sister” she said.
“Awwwn” Camilla and Antoinette chorus.
“Why does everyone think it’s gonna be a girl?” Adena Gr0-ned.
“Because it has to. I want a baby sister. Boys are a handful. My uncle Damon is enough headache” Zoey answered sharply and Adena gasped before bursting into laughter.
“You’re nau-ghty” Antoinette said, joining in the laughter.
“So, who wants snacks? Oven fresh cu-pcakes!” Liliana asked.
“Meeee! I want cu-pcakes!!” Zoey squealed.
“Common dear, why don’t you help me get them from the kitchen” Liliana said as she entered the kitchen with Zoey.
“So, has anyone heard anything from Anastasia?” Camilla asked.
“Not really. She left after Delaney’s funeral and hasn’t shown up since then” Adena replied.
“Why would she show up? There’s nothing left for her here” Antoinette added.
The ladies spent the rest of the day, talking and playing games. It wasn’t until after 6pm that Camilla and Zoey left for their house.
…
.. 8:00pm ..
Adena was lying on the bed, stro-king her tummy and humming a sweet melody, when the door opened slowly and she heard footsteps approaching her. She knew who it was so she continued humming her song.
“Good evening sweet.. you’re still awake?” He asked, lowering his head to ki-ss her forehead. Adena smiled and welcomed his ki-ss.
“Yes, I couldn’t sleep” she answered.
“Why? You were waiting for me?”
“Nope. Waiting for my mangoes” she answered and Logan couldn’t help but laugh.
“Ouch” he said and she giggled.
“Well, your mangoes are here” he presented the peeled mangoes to her and helped her get in a sitting position.
“Eat up. I want to take a bath. I’ll join you soon” he said and went over to the closet.
Adena watched him as he took off his suit, her eyes were glued to his amazing body. She could not stop herself from drooling over the way his body shone un-der the moonlight.
He noticed that she was staring and he chuckled. He did not say anything but simply walked into the bathroom while she pounced on the mangoes.
Minutes later, Logan came out, wearing his red pyjamas. He climbed into the bed, next to Adena and watched her finish off the last piece of mango.
“Not even one for me?” He asked, getting closer to her.
“I’m sorry, it was just so good” she sighed.
“Don’t worry, there is still a way I can take my own share” he said, she looked up at him and he was too close, she could feel his breath on her face.
She gulped ha-rd as her hormones ran wild.
“Which other way?” She asked in a whisper. He snuck his arm around her and pulled her even closer. He ru-bbed his face against hers, slowly and a silent M0-n escaped her li-ps. She closed her eyes and enjoyed his touch.
“This way” he said, and crashed his li-ps on hers. She parted her li-ps slightly for his tongue to slide in. She wrapped her arms around his ne-ck, and ki-ssed him back pas-sionately.
Adena didn’t realize when a year fell from her eye. She has been trying to deny the love she had for him, but the truth will always be that he was the best thing that has ever happened to her.
ki-ssing him only made her realize how much she wanted him.
“You’re right, those are some Fu-ckingly good mangoes” Logan said, breaking the ki-ss. Adena chuckled.
He noticed the tears in her eyes and wiped them off.
“Tell me, why are you crying?” He asked, she shook her head and looked away.
“It’s nothing, just these stupid hormones” she answered.
“Adena, I can’t hold it in any longer. I’m heartbroken” he said and turned to him swiftly.
“Heartbroken?” She asked.
“Yes. I love you so much that it’s killing me. It’s killing me that you don’t love me back. It’s killing me that you won’t forgive me for everything I did to you. I’m just asking for one chance to show you that I’ve changed. To show you that no one will love you more than me” he said and she was moved to tears again.
“I’ve forgiven you” she said.
“Really?” His eyes lit up, with hope.
“Yes. I forgave you a long time ago. I forgive you for the pain you caused me and I’m willing to forget” she answered and he smiled, tears also gathering in his eyes.
“Will you ever love me?” He asked.
Adena looked away and sighed.
“I knew it.. I knew you’d never love me” he said, sober and hurt. He attempted to climb down from the bed but Adena held unto his muscular arm and pulled him back.
She wiped the tears in her eyes and asked him to come closer to her.
She placed his head on her che-st and caressed his hair. Logan lay there like a child, sulking.
“Can you hear the sound of my heart beating?” She asked.
“Yes”
“For a long time, I’ve ignored the fact that this heart has been beating for you. I tried to get rid of the feelings, but it’s still there. I don’t care anymore, it may not be acceptable to fall for your captor.. but I can’t help it anymore” she cried, her tears dropping on Logan.
“Logan… I love you”
He je-rked and looked at her, staring into her eyes.
“What did you just say?” He asked, his heart literally beating out of his che-st.
“I love you” she repeated it, still shedding tears.
“Say it again”
“I love you! I love you!! I love you!! I am in love with you Logan!!” She yelled and he placed his li-ps on hers.
