She held the doorknob and twisted it open before slowly walking inside surprising the person seated on the swivel chair.
As she fully walked in, Logan was taken aback by her presence.
His black eyes gazed at her intensely.
Scarlet! He stood up, his eyes fixed on Scarlet. He had missed her, but his Grandpa's marriage proposal had stirred up old wounds. Memories of Scarlet with another man still lingered, fueling a desire for revenge. Yet, his heart yearned for only her, as if without her he couldn't survive.
Scarlet bit her bottom lip and slowly raised her hands to cup his both cheeks.
"I'm sorry for what happened that day. I didn't mean to get you angry. " She said feeling guilty.
Saying those words, Logan remembered that day, when he had visited Scarlet to see her and spend time with her. But he had caught her with another man in her house.
He violently removed her hands from his cheeks.
Why? ! He asked through gritted teeth. His jaws clenched in rage.
Scarlet didn't say a word. The only thing right now in her mind is to beg him and reconcile with him.
I'm sorry. She could only say.
You are sorry? ! He said sounding pissed. You were freaking with another man doing what all alone? He growled angrily emitting an intense aura that sent chills down her spine.
Scarlet didn't say anything letting the tears streamed down her cheeks like rain falls.
I'm sorry. She cried silently. She knew it will be hard for him to let go. So she asked her voice trembled slightly,
"Are you married ?"
Logan didn't say anything and went back to sit on his swivel chair.
Yes was his curt reply, and Scarlet felt the world around her spin.
W-when ? She stuttered as more tears began to flow down her cheeks.
It's none of your business. He replied coldly not looking at her.
You liar?! You only have a contract marriage with that poor church rat. She said calmly her voice broke harder.
Logan finally gazed at her with a blank facade.
Think whatever comes to your mind. But don't you dare insult my wife again. This will be your last warning. He threatened dangerously.
Scarlet bit her lips hard.
Why? Why did you get married to her? She asked trying her possible best not to cry again.
YOU ASK WHY? ! He growled angrily sending chills down her spine.
WHY THE FUCK DID YOU SLEEP WITH ANOTHER MAN? ! He growled angrily shocking Scarlet with his words.
S..l...e...e....p w...I..t..h him? She stuttered in shock and disbelief.
Don't act dumb Scarlet, you think I don't know? ! The man that was in your mansion, what the hell was he doing in your house?? He asked angrily and heartlessly.
He is just a .....
Enough of he is just a friend! ! He yelled coldly.
L. E. A. V. E. ! He ordered coldly.
Log...
Enough! Leave ! ! He ordered coldly and angrily.
Scarlet felt her heart break in a million pieces. She felt as though millions of daggers pierced through her heart causing an unbearable pain in there.
Meanwhile downstairs,
Hannah and the maids have come back from her shopping, with the maids holding lots of shopping bags.
They walked inside while the amiss without them being ordered to do so, they went to the master suite to drop the lady's shopping bags.
Hannah sigh tirelessly. She sat on the couch and Jones brought in a tray of ice block cold juice.
Ma'am, you can take it to relieve your stress. Jones said.
Hannah stared at him suspiciously.
How did you know I was back? She inquired.
Ma'am, your foot steps alerted me. He replied with all form of honesty.
Hannah just nodded.
Ma'am, we have a lady guest in the house. Jones informed.
A lady guest? She said confused.
Yes ma'am. He said head bow.
Is she from the Emersons mansion? She asked.
No ma'am, she is the boss... Jones paused as if he was hesitating to talk.
Who is she? Hannah asked as she suddenly felt a sharp tingle in her heart.
Back in Logan's study room,
Scarlet stared at him for a while before she slowly turned her back on him and left the study room. Logan gazed at the closed door for a long while before he stood up and also left the study room.
Reaching downstairs,
Scarlet eyes fell on a young woman sitting on the couch with a glass of juice in her hands.
She clenched her fists tightly and walked towards her staring into the sky blue eyes that was also staring at her with a curious gaze.
Jones bowed his head one more time before going back to do his work.
Hello good afternoon. Hannah greeted as she dropped her juice on the table.
Instead of answering her greetings, Scarlet asked,
"Are you Logan's contracted wife?"
Hannah was shocked at her words before she mask a calm face.
Y...
Didn't I just warn you not to insult my wife? A cold and heartless voice spoke descending from the grandstairs.
Hannah gulped hard. Once again, Logan was standing up for her.
Logan walked towards where Hannah was sitting and pulled her up and wrapped his hands around her waist.
Hannah was so shocked by what Logan was doing. He deepened his hold around her waist, his hot breath fanning her face. Hannah's heart was beating wildly like a fierce horse running away from a deranged lion.
Her cheeks were lightly flushed.
Just so you know, she is my wife. So leave. He said coldly and heartlessly.
Logan, you can't do this to us. You are my life. How can you choose a mere poor wretched girl over me? She cried silently.
One more word against her, and I will have you killed this instant. He warned icely.
Hannah was confused at what was going on between these two people.
She tried to wriggle herself free from Logan's tight grip, but he was too strong for her to free.
I WILL BREAK THIS MARRIAGE. She declared loudly and in a threatening tone, and Hannah felt her heart skipped in nervousness. Even though, she was securely wrapped by Logan's strong and powerful hands , she still felt goosebumps crept on her skin.
" You can try." He said heartlessly.
Scarlet clenched her fists tightly and angrily stomped out of the mansion.
