Chapter 12
William told Hope to finish the tea and the snacks. “I will return soon with Logan,” he said and walked away.
Victoria glanced at Hope and said, “It seems you don’t know about his lover.” She was a bit suspicious of Logan’s relationship with Hope. She knew for the chairmanship, Logan married in such haste and brought his wife to the house.
“I think Logan never wanted to bring his past to his present,” Hope answered, ensuring Victoria would not be suspicious about her relationship with Logan.
“I would have talked more with you, but I’ve an important event to attend, so I must leave, Victoria stood up. Seeing her, Hope also left the couch in respect, “Finish the tea and snacks,” Victoria said before walking away.
Hope felt she was alone at a place of which she had no idea. She sat down, patiently waiting for Logan and Grandpa William to return. While doing so, she finished the served tea for her and even ate a few cookies.
When they didn’t return, Hope thought to explore the house for some time and again stood up. She went a few meters ahead of the couch and wondered which direction to take.
Still confused, she pivoted when her head bumped against something solid. Hope raised her head only to meet the gaze of a mysterious man before her. If Logan was the definition of a Greek God, the man before her wasn’t lesser either.
‘It seems handsomeness runs in their blood, Hope thought.
“Who are you? Fred asked as he darted his eyes at her.
“Hope. Hope Raven… Hope Moore, Wife of Logan Moore,” she introduced herself.
“Fred Moore,” he also introduced himself and forwarded his hand to her. They had a friendly handshake. “Why are you alone here? Where’s Logan?” he pulled away his hand. as he wandered his eyes around.
“Logan left with Grandpa for some conservation,” Hope replied.
“Leaving his wife alone! That’s very rude of him, Fred muttered,
“Aunt Victoria was with me before she left for an important event,” Hope said and told. Fred she would not disturb him anymore.
“Do you wish to tour around?” Fred inquired her. “Logan will have a long conversation with Grandpa,” he stated.

“Sure.”

After touring the entire house, they were finally at the garden, which definitely was epitome of the beauty of this villa. The small water fountains made of marbles drew her attention quickly. The variety of flower beds could be seen around, causing the air to be filled with fresh scent of air.
Hope never had the chance to walk with such freedom, so she used this opportunity. Her eyes darted on the magnolia flowers and she touched their petals. Fred followed her closely.
“What do you do, Hope?” he asked.
“I am in my final year of the college,” Hope answered.
“What? Why did you get married when you’ve not finished your college?” Fred confusedly glanced at her.
“Umm… Because Logan and I thought it was the perfect time to get married.” Hope had no idea if her response made any sense or not.
“Does Logan love you?” Fred squinted his eyes in suspicion.
“Yes, he does, Hope lied.
“Strange!” Fred muttered. The cool breeze blew and the flowers on the trees cascaded down, one among them on Hope’s head.
Fred noticed it and picked up the flower from her head. “It was on your head,” he said. with a smile. Hope smiled back and took the flower from her.
Logan, who just came to the garden after knowing from the butler about Hope’s whereabouts witnessed that sight.
“Why is she smiling with him?” Logan mumbled as he twitched his l*ps in anger. It surged when Fred brushed Hope’s hair from her forehead and he ended up screaming Hope’s name.
“Hope!!!!”
Hearing her name in such a loud voice, she turned and saw Logan. He didn’t look in at good mood. But why? Soon/Logan approached them and grasped Hope’s hand to take
her away.
Fred asked Logan to stop, but he didn’t listen to him. Hope waved her hand at Fred while being dragged away by Logan.
As they reached at some part of the villa, Logan let go of Hope’s hand. “Why did you

shout my name? Also, Fred wanted to talk to you. Why do you have to run away like this?” She questioned while caressing her wrist.

“You cannot smile in front of other men. Don’t you get it? Also, why did you allow him. to touch you?” Logan’s jaw clenched in annoyance.
“This wasn’t in the contract, Hope muttered.
“It was. You must adhere to your husband’s rules all the time,” Logan stated.
“Don’t act like a dictator!” Hope was irked by his rules. She went ahead while Logan followed her. “You disappeared in shadows, leaving me alone in the living room. You don’t even care for me,” she complained.
Logan grasped her wrist and drew her back. His hand circled her n*eck and he leaned down to whisper in her car. “That doesn’t mean you have to smile and let my cousin touch you. You should have stayed in the living room. If you don’t follow my orders, I’ve to teach you to follow them.”
Hope narrowly gazed at him and turned to face him. “Am I your servant?” She questioned him. “Because my role as your wife is negligible and it appears more of a servant,” Hope asserted. “You didn’t bother to tell me why you could not fall in love. Through your aunt, I found out that you had a lover. If you want me to act like a good wife, then be a good husband,” she pronounced.
“You don’t have to know my past. Just do your work for what I’ve purchased you,” Logan said coldly.
The statement brought tears to Hope’s eyes. She looked away and asked him to let her go. Logan did so and watched her walked ahead of him. He had no intention to stay in the villa for another minute wh
the butler informed them how William wanted them
to stay there for a night.
“I have some important work, Logan tried to escape that place.
“What is more important for you than me? Stay here for a night!” William said as he returned to the living room with Fred. He gazed at Hope, who looked down. He knew his grandson did something to her, but he remained quiet.
William knew what he had to do to make Logan’s heart melt around Hope.
