All Chapters of A Perfect Distraction: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“The only thing worse than not knowing a secret is discovering one...” A heavy silence wrapped us in its tight embrace, but not to a point of suffocation. I stared out of the car window, watching the buildings and trees pass by in a blur. Logan and I were lost in our thoughts. To say morning breakfast was awkward and uncomfortable was an understatement. We both tried to give a lot of excuses to Grecia just to escape from being in each other’s presence, but she was adamant that we all eat together.The elephant in the room was very clear, as clear as we know fishes live underwater and not in the cloud. Finally, Grecia decided enough is enough and forced us to talk things out between us as the tension between me and Logan grew. Yet again we tried to convince her we are very busy today. But she wouldn’t give her ear to our excuses.So yeah, here we are! I also don’t know where he was taking me as we haven

(5 days later)Sighing heavily, I wipe the small beads of sweat that formed on my eyebrows with the back of my hand. I scan the whole room again and debate on calling Scarlet to help me with pushing around all the furniture and boxes. But then again I don’t want to trouble her, she was there with me almost all day yesterday.Where the hell is Tyler? He promised he would be here in an hour. He’s late as always! Ughh, I seriously have to stop eating like a pig and start working out. Doing all this weightlifting work is getting to me, making me sore in all places.  ‘Look for a job first, idiot’ my inner self yelled. Right, I forgot I have to search for jobs too. Buying all the necessary furniture and households resulted in me going broke. Yaay, fun life!It’s my first day of moving into my new home and I still have a lot of work unfinished. For now, I can only live

“This isn’t the first time I have done this.” My voice was very low as I confessed about the fresh and faded bruises on my arms. I look up to see a scowl on Logan’s forehead. He was sitting in front of me on the single sofa chair and I sat at the edge of my bed, legs crossed.A momentary silence surrounded us and the only sound I could hear was my own heavy breathing. I look down, unable to maintain eye contact with Logan. I counted to ten before continuing,“I have hurt myself before, the time when the pain was unbearable for me. This is what... the fifth time I’m doing. Or so I believe” I said, trying to recollect the number of times I did.“You said your parents were murdered, is that the reason for self-harm?” Logan asked me, confusion on his face growing.“Seems like I have to start everything from the first,” I let out a humorless laugh which came out a bit shakily. I bit my bottom li

I paid the driver before dashing into my apartment and slamming the door behind me. I could tell my eyes were red and puffed up from trying to not break down in the uber. I really tried to keep in but the tears won’t stop flowing. I had no control over my emotions and I couldn’t help but feel betrayed and heartbroken. How could Logan ever do this to me? I trusted him with everything, but all he did was to work behind my back the entire time. I sat on the couch and let out a loud sob as more tears began flowing down my cheeks. I brought my knees to my chest and cried my heart out. Betrayal, Fear, and every emotion breaking me apart as the seconds ticked.I thought Logan had feelings for me but instead, he was just pretending just to get me to fall into my enemy's trap. This was why he was acting very secretive earlier today. He didn't want me to come with him as he knew I would find out about his true intentions with me. That he would soon hand m

Both the men stood up as they spotted us standing two feet away from the table. My eyes met with the familiar ocean blue ones which never failed to captivate me. I gulped silently as I noticed how he hadn’t blinked at all ever since he laid his eyes on me. Logan Watson was wearing a black notch lapel blazer suit and he wore a plain black shirt underneath it, which he had paired with tight fitted black trousers. My eyes found him again and I noticed a different emotion swirling in his eyes that I have seen only a couple of times by now, but I was never able to put a finger on it. The emotion was so deep and intense that I had to avert my eyes if I didn't want to crumble to my feet right here. Gosh, how much I missed seeing those eyes in these past few days. Scarlet nudged me to bring me back to my senses and pulled me towards the table. “Hey, baby girl,” Patrick was soon on his feet, approaching Scar in a second. I stood there awkw
