The Ball 1
Andrea and Eve got back home not too long after the six hours of shopping.
Guess spending time in the mall, those takes more time than anticipated.
Upon getting back home, Andrea walked straight to her bedroom as Eve was shown her room by the maids.
It was already 6 in the evening, so the sun was already going down.
As she entered with her bag, she saw that Logan was already getting ready to leave for work.
And upon turning around, Logan had a rather calmly expression as he saw her.
His eyes showed mixed feelings that he himself couldn't understand.
Placing her bag, Andrea collapsed on the soft couch as she brought out her phone, entirely ignoring him.
As he wore his suite, Logan couldn't help but take some quick glances at her from time to time.
'Was she angry?' he thought, after all, this morning he had pushed her away and his mom had brought another woman into his home.
She should be at least a little upset.
Sighing within him, Logan finally succumbed the courage to talk to her.
"Don't tell me you're upset?" He said, completely regretting his words immediately.
Man, he wasn't good at having pleasant conversation.
But Andrea's expression was unchanged as she answered briefly, "Angry? In what way?"
She asked as he then turned around.
"Eve… Sigh! I didn't know my mom wa-" before he could finish his words, Andre raised her hands in the air to stop him from speaking.
"Please stop, if you are going to apologize, then you should hold it, what the hell are you apologizing for?" Andrea asked as Logan was a little taken aback.
Standing up, Andrea folded her hands as she walked towards him.
She was just as tall as he was, so there wasn't much difference between them.
"Do I have to remind you that this marriage is nothing but a contract, so I don't really care if your mom brings twenty or fifty wives for you to marry, all I know is to give birth and to leave, so there's no reason for me to be Angry or for you to apologize, okay?"
She said before she then turned around to leave as Logan was speechless.
Of course, he hasn't forgotten about how they even ended up as a couple.
The only reason he wanted to apologize was because she was a woman and no one would like to find out that their husband had another woman. Even though this marriage had no future, it should still be respected.
Meanwhile, Andrea didn't leave the room, as she stopped in her steps before then turning around to face him.
She walked slowly towards him as she then took the tie that was on the dressing table not far from them as wrapped it around his neck as she helped him knot it.
As Logan just stood still, for some reason, his body felt so stiff with her so close.
He could smell her soft and rose - like scent.
Logan couldn't help but feel a mix of nerves and anticipation as Andrea wrapped the tie around his neck.
Her proximity was intoxicating, and he found it difficult to focus on anything else.
The scent of roses filled the air, adding to the allure of the moment.
As Andrea deftly knotted the tie, Logan's gaze remained fixed on her.
He noticed the way her eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief, and he wondered what she had in mind.
His heart raced, unsure of what was to come next.
Andrea finished tying the tie and took a step back, admiring her work.
Her eyes met Logan's, and a mischievous smile played on her lips. "There," she said, her voice low and sultry. "Now you're all dressed up and ready for work!"
Logan couldn't help but feel a surge of desire at her words.
He wanted to say something, but Instead, he simply nodded, his eyes locked with hers. The tension between them was palpable, and he couldn't deny the magnetic pull he felt towards her.
Without breaking eye contact, Andrea reached out and adjusted the collar of Logan's shirt, her fingers grazing his skin. Logan shivered, the touch sending a jolt of electricity through his body.
He knew he should say something, but the intensity of the moment left him momentarily speechless.
Andrea's smile widened, as if she could sense his inner turmoil.
"By the way, who is Rebecca? Is she your ex-wife?"
She asked as just as, Logan's face turned grim and dark, it was like she had just turned on his angry mode or something.
And Andre noticed that immediately, taking hold of her shoulder, Logan pushed her away from him slightly.
"Don't ever say that name again!" Logan said as a smirk appeared on Andrea's lips.
She knew well that the woman with that name was totally someone from his past.
'How interesting!' she thought to herself, the mischievous glint in her eyes growing stronger.
Andrea decided to push further, her curiosity getting the best of her. "Oh, it seems like I struck a nerve there, Logan. What's the story behind Rebecca? Why does her name evoke such a strong reaction from you?"
Logan's jaw clenched, and he took a deep breath to regain his composure.
"That's none of your business, and I'll like it if you never say her name in this house ever again!"
Logan said as he then took his bag to leave, but before he left, he said to her, "The ball will be happening tomorrow. Be ready!"
He said before he finally left, as Andrea clicked her tongue at his words.
"Ball, huh? Just wait and see, I'll make sure you vampires don't ever forget this ball, if I'm going to be your wife for these seven months then I'm going to make it one of the most memorable months of your life Logan, cus all men are the same!"
