Chapter 64: Chapter 65

Roaxana leaned back in her swivel chair, her mind reeling from the news her secretary had just informed her about. She handed the iPad back to her assistant and closed her eyes briefly, trying to collect her thoughts.

“Ma'am, what should we do about it? The news is circulating everywhere, and | even received a call from Mr. Isaac Sinclair since you didn’t answer his call, the secretary informed Roaxana, her voice laced with concern.

“Make sure this fake news is removed by this afternoon. I'll talk with Isaac later,” Roaxana instructed her secretary firmly.

“Of course,” Miss Watson nodded before leaving the cabin. Roaxana then retrieved her. phone from her handbag, prepared to take action to address the situation.

There were several missed calls from her mother and even father. She dialed her mom’s number. Anna answered it within a ring.

“What is this Roaxana? You were spotted with Ryan could you do this?”

st night. Are you two dating? Your marriage is fixed with Isaac. How Anna without listening to her daughter bombarded her with questions.

“Calm down, Mom,” Roaxana said softly. “Let me explain, okay? The media is just sick. Ryan and I’ve nothing,” she proclaimed.

“But you were outside yesterday, darling. Even the motel owner verified about your presence there with Ryan,” Anna stated, feeling worried.

Roaxana pinched the skin between her brows. “Mom, I'll explain everything to you once I'll be home,” she stated.

“Alright. Just come home soon,” Anna said with a concerned tone and hung up the call.

As Roaxana put her phone down, it began ringing. To her surprise, it was from Isaac. She answered his call. “Miss Roaxana, I’ve scheduled our date time to 12 in the afternoon. | hope you'll be on time,” he pronounced.

“Why does it sound like Mr. Isaac is ordering me?” Roaxana inquired.

“If | sounded like a bossy person, then I’m sorry,” Isaac replied. “I wish to see the woman. ASAP who created the morning headlines,” he remarked.

Roaxana’s brow arched at his comment. However, she could not confront him about this on the phone. The call disconnected after that and she felt Isaac was not a type of person with whom things would go better for her.

“No one’s first love has ever been fulfilled,” Roaxana muttered. “But how did those reporters spot us?” She was puzzled, thinking if there was someone behind them. because the photos were clicked only after Ryan arrived at the river bridge.

“Gosh! All this is already giving me a headache,” she murmured.

Logan placed the pen on the desk after signing the file. “If Ryan and Roaxana were spotted together, what's the issue in that?

The media have nothing better to do than drag the names of families like ours,” he pronounced with a hint of frustration as he closed the file.

Henry took the file from him and suddenly asked, “Have you forgotten how much Ryan’s father hates our family?”

Logan chuckled as he recalled. “I don’t understand that man. He’s been holding onto a family grudge for decades. Besides, none of this news is true. Everyone knows that,’ he stated confidently.

“Ryan’s father is impossible to reason with. Last time, he confronted Grandpa not to send Roaxana to their home. That’s why Ryan started living separately from him,” Henry asserted, clarifying that Roaxana wasn’t aware of this.

Logan was taken aback by this revelation, realizing he had no idea about the depth of the animosity between their families.

Just at that moment, Hope walked in with a smile on her face. She had a jute bag in her hand, in which she brought lunch for Logan.

“You surprised me.” Logan rose from the chair and walked to her.

“Did 1?” Hope placed the jute bag on the table and turned to him. She noticed his loosened tie and expertly tucked it in for him. “I thought I’d give my husband a surprise. visit,” she murmured affectionately.

“| think you were too engrossed in your work. Your eyes look tired,” Hope said with a worried expression. “How did your meeting go? Did you seal the deal?” she queried.

“Yes, | did. | hate losing,” Logan affirmed, smiling because he won this important deal, “Isn’t your skirt too short?” Logan took a step back to admire his wife, a playful grin spreading across his face as he met her gaze.

“Of course, it’s to seduce you,” Hope answered with a sensual gaze, matching his playful tone.

“Wife, are you asking me to eat you instead of the food?” Logan shamelessly quipped.

“Wh-what?!” Hope’s cheeks flushed pink as she gulped, quickly turning around. “You should sit on the chair,” she suggested, trying to divert the conversation.

“Logan!” Hope exclaimed as he pulled her close from behind, holding her by the waist. “We are in the office. What if Paul comes in or Henry?” She asked, her breathing started turning erratic.

“| have strong senses. I'll know,” Logan said as he inhaled her intoxicated scent. “In the morning, | somehow controlled my Lycan Beast. How am | supposed to do it now when you already succeeded in seducing me?” He whispered in her ear and then bit her earlobe.

“Mmm...” Hope let out a low moan as she closed her eyes. She held his hand, which was on her thigh and turned around.

“Logan, once we start then we don’t stop,” Hope said.

“Then, you don’t want to do it?” Logan asked.

“I-| want to, but not here because anyone can walk in,” Hope replied.

Logan smirked and took several steps back to reach his working desk. He picked the phone and quickly dialed a number. “No one should enter in for one hour,” he ordered someone on the phone, causing Hope’s eyes to grow large.

As Logan ended the call, he moved swiftly to stand in front of Hope. Without a word, he kissed her passionately and scooped her up into his arms.
