Chapter 21
Hope left bewildered by Logan's sudden pull off during their intimacy. The entire
night she thought what could be the sudden reason that he stopped in the
midway and didn’t even come to see her in the living room. With that she spent
the entire night on the sofa and the next morning, they headed to the villa, their
house.
Even in the car, Logan was silent. Hope tried a lot of times that she could speak
in front of him, but seeing a strange expression on her face, she decided to
remain quiet.
Well, this didn’t happen for one day, but till the day of their reception. Logan
avoided talking much with her. If she would come from college and see him,
Logan would pass a small smile to her, but he refrained from going into further
conversation.
“Hope, look at yourself. How pretty you look in this dress! Master Logan surely
has a great choice,” Camila complimented her beauty. She noticed Hope's arms.
were no longer bruised. It relieved her that those marks had vanished completely.
Clad in a mermaid style white, off-shoulder gown, the dress truly accentuated
Hope's curves. Although she couldn't have a grand wedding, but the reception
dress truly covered that. Logan indeed knew what suited best on her.
Her hair was kept lose, with low curls at the bottom of her hair. The pearl clips
were used to keep the few hair strands on their place. She was given the real
pearl jewelry to wear, which she already worn.
Logan stepped into the room, his urgency evident in the quick pace of his words
as he addressed Hope. “We're running late. How much longer will you take to get
ready?”
As Hope turned to meet his gaze, Logan was captivated by her ethereal beauty.
She looked absolutely breathtaking in that dress, as though it was tailored solely
for her.
Despite the enchantment of the moment, Logan shook himself from the
mesmerizing sight and made his way toward Hope. She attempted to avert her
eyes, but his presence. compelled her to maintain the eyelock between them.
Camila pushed Hope toward Logan and she began walking toward him. He held
her hand and drew her close. “I can walk by myself. You don’t need to hold my
hand,” Hope said as she attempted to pull away her hand from his grip.
“Stay quiet,” Logan said and his finger brushed her cheek. “There was an
eyelash on your check,” he added, looking into her eyes.
“Is everyone gathered already?” Hope queried.

“Yes,” Logan said and asked her to smile.
Hope forced a smile on her face and the two went out to the main garden of the
hotel, where the reception was kept. Hope got to meet a lot of people and even
realized how luxurious their lives were.
Everything went well until a drink was dropped intentionally on her dress by
Jessi.
“Oops! I'm so sorry, Hope. You should have walked carefully,” Jessi said with a
grin and tried to help Hope clean the stain..
“Oh my go d, Jess! Did you just stain Hope’s dress?” Natasha blurted out, trying
to shoe sympathy toward Hope. “It's considered inauspicious if the dress is
ruined in your wedding or reception,” Natasha then remarked.
Logan, who was busy with a few of his friends from the business circle, noticed
the discomfort in which Hope was. He paid attention to her and found out her
dress was
ruined.
He excused himself and went toward Hope.
“Is everything okay?” Logan asked and his eyes fell upon Hope's dress. The stain
had spread all over and it looked bad. He even heard the gossip the guests were
having about Hope. Taking off his tuxedo blazer, he put it around Hope and said,
“Let's go.”
Hope glared at him as if she was angry at him. The look in her eyes wasn’t
pleasant all. But could she even complain to him? No! Because of that damm
contract she needed to stay quiet like an obedient wife.

The most annoying thing was that Logan suddenly showing care for her. She
walked away on her own, leaving the guests around with quizzical glances.
William also noticed something was going on between the two and furrowed his
brows together.
Logan headed outside the magnificent hotel and asked Hope to stop. She was
already on the stairs and was running to reach the birthday. Once she was at the
bottom of the flights, she took off her heels and picked them up in her hand to
easily run away.
“Why did you leave the reception suddenly? Do you even have idea how many
eyes. were on us?” Logan asked with a stern tone.
“Leave my hand,” Hope protested.
“I didn’t grab it to leave it. What happened?” Logan inquired, his voice turning
calmer.

“Are you upset because the dress got ruined?” He loosened his grip from her
hand and pulled the blazer close for her. “Accidents happen, okay?” He wanted
to make her feel better.
“Why are you like this? You ignored my presence after that night. Now, suddenly
you care for me. Is this way you are supposed to make me undergo heartbreak?”
Hope finally questioned him.
“I didn’t ignore you, Hope,” Logan said.
“You did! Just admit it. You see, I've only you and I have kept all my faith in you,”
Hope said, pressing her pointer finger on his chest. “You know, that night I truly
thought your want me your life. But the next second, you changed. I truly admire
how you do things for me but then you ignore me.”
Tears welled up her in eyes as she tried to stay calmer. But it was getting hard
and suffocating for her.
“I think I will not love you and may throw you away from my life. That's why I
stopped. It becomes harder to be around you. But I don't wish to hurt you. Your
future should stay safer, Logan explained her why his behavior suddenly turned
odd that night. “I told you getting love from me is going to be hard for you. You
need to be strong to make my heart win. I don’t know how many times I'll do
this.”
Logan didn’t want to keep her in dark. Olivia, his past lover, would always restrict
him from getting close to Hope even if he wanted to.
