The Divorced Heiress Is Entering a New Marriage

After Logan made up the couch for me and went to bed himself, I laid staring at the ceiling. The very high- vaulted, chandelier–covered ceiling. Seriously, this place was ridiculous.

I was suddenly wide–awake and felt stone–cold sober. This felt weird. And wrong. And every time I closed my eyes all I pictured was Logan in his skin–tight shirt grabbing me and kissing me again. So I forced them to stay open.

I doubted Maria was awake, but I opened my phone to send her a message anyway. I couldn’t wait to see

..I and/or hear her reaction when she did open it.

“Guess where I’m spending the night. Hint: it’s not my parents‘ place…” I pushed send and let out a small laugh.

My smile faded as I looked around the room. This place wasn’t for me. I was just the man’s secretary for God’s sake. I couldn’t let us be so comfortable around each other. I would never move past the kiss if we

were.

I made up my mind about what I was going to do about it. I would execute my plan in the morning. The thought gave me enough relief that I was finally able to drift off to sleep..

My alarm went off at 5:30 am. I had set it so early so I could run home to shower, but also I wanted to sneak out before I saw Logan.

I rolled over to t

turn it off. I groaned and stretched my arms above my head. I hadn’t gotten near as much sleep as I would have liked, but I’d rather be tired than be in this house any longer than necessary.

I gathered my purse and laptop and tiptoed to the door I wasn’t sure why I felt the need to do that, I imagined wherever Logan’s room was in the house it was far enough away that he wouldn’t hear me sneaking out. I slipped my feet into my shoes and opened the front door.

A man stood on the other side of it. I screamed. Then he screamed. He stepped into the light of the porch.

“Oh my god Logan,” I said when I saw it was him. “What are you doing?”

“I just finished my run,” he said. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Of course he was an early morning runner. “Oh,” was all I could think to say,

“Headed out so early?” He asked. “I could make us some breakfast before you go.”

“Thank you, but I need time to get myself ready for work. I’ll see you in a little bit?” I said, brushing past him towards my car.

“Yeah, see you in a little bit,” he said, a hint of disappoint coloring his words.

As I suspected, Maria was waiting for me at my desk when I arrived at work. Her arms were crossed and she was tapping one foot.

“You look just like Natalie,” I said.

“Never say that to me again,” she winced. “And I’m not going to tell you again, you cannot just drop these bombs in texts and leave them without answers.”

I laughed. I knew that one was going to drive her nuts.

“So spill!” She said impatiently.

“Oh, you know there’s nothing to tell. We ate dinner, we worked way too late and I drank way too much wine, and I was too drunk to drive home. He made me stay on the couch,” I shrugged.

“Nothing to tell? You had dinner and wine together. I have news for you, that wasn’t just work, that sounds like a date,” she said.

I frowned. “Yeah. It kind of does, doesn’t it?”

She nodded, raising her eyebrows at me.

“I have to do better at keeping my distance,” I said. “Nothing else happened last night, but I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been tempted.” I remembered my plan and told her what I was going to do as soon as I saw him.
