Contractually Yours: The Billionaire's Unlikely Bride
Chapter 150: I LOVE YOU!

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: I LOVE YOU!

He joined her on the bed and hugged her tightly as he took in her lovely scent he liked so much.

Her body felt warm. If he hadn’t tested her earlier, he would have thought that she was running a fever, but that wasn’t the case.

Holding her into his arms, Logan began to reflect on everything that had occurred from the time that their relationship changed from that of employer-employee to husband and wife.

It had never been easy for Briar, and his heart ached. Although in the beginning when he married her, he wanted her to be the kind of person who would block his misfortunes, but learning about her love for him, Selena’s secrets and the rest, his mind changed.

Looking at those ear lobes pierced twice, his eyes softened as he knew that they were pierced for him. She was his and her love for him and his family wouldn’t be faked.

He promised to never make her suffer. He wanted to be real with her. That was why a few days ago, he spent that weekend with her and confessed his feelings for her. He fulfilled the marriage rituals with her and took her chastity. From that night, the two consummated and became a real couple.

But never in a million years did he think that a harmless gathering of friends would result in something like that. If it was at a banquet or something, he would have understood, as most people who attend those events have their own thoughts. But his own circle of friends was something unexpected.

He regretted a lot of things, but since they were already done, he could only do one thing.

Logan kissed Briar on the forehead and tightened his hold on her.

"Dear, I am sorry for making you targeted. I didn’t mean it to happen this way. I just wanted you to meet my friends in a formal way," he said apologetically, though he knew that the other person wouldn’t hear him.

"I wanted you to know that I am not embarrassed or ashamed to show you to my friends. Your background or status doesn’t matter to me. My family and empire don’t require aid from the wife’s family. It had never been in such a situation since day one.

Our marriage might have started as a mere contract from my side, but as I got to know you, my feelings changed. I wanted to ......" Logan closed his eyes as memories of that night Briar slammed her head at the fountain surfaced in his mind.

That was the night he learnt about Briar’s feelings for him as well as Selena’s cruel and vicious betrayal of all time.

It was a night that he would never forget in his life. It made him hate and love at the same time. If that didn’t happen, he wouldn’t have known that the woman he loved so much and vowed to love until the end of time was such a person. He hated that day for that truth.

At the same time, he loved it as well. While there was hate, he also found someone who loved him so much that she was willing to die rather than expose the truth. Finding such a gem. If he couldn’t get moved, then wouldn’t he be cruel and cold-hearted?

He took a deep breath as he opened his eyes and planted another kiss on her forehead. Feeling her warm skin on him, he was reassured. She was there with him and didn’t leave. That was fine with him.

"I won’t waste anyone’s time to utter nonsense. I know that you are sleeping and might not hear this, but I want you to know that I love you, Briar. I don’t know when it happened or how, but I just do. If only I could confess these feelings to you directly, I could, but doing so makes me feel vulnerable ....." Logan felt that he was a coward for acting like that, but he still wanted to protect his heart.

He would show her with actions but with direct words, he would do his best to minimize that. The moment she knew about his love, he was afraid that she might turn into the second Selena, and he didn’t want to see that.

So, he could only be a coward and confess when she was unconscious like that.

"I will punish Raine for what she did and send her away. I won’t let that person continue being an eyesore. And one day, we shall have a grand wedding. Give me time to prepare for it," he whispered against her ear, hoping that when she woke up, she would forget everything that happened yesterday and be the merry person she had always been.

Briar didn’t respond at all and remained still in her sleep. Logan continued embracing her and before he knew it, he dosed off as well and fell asleep.

When he started snoring softly, Briar’s eyes opened and a complicated glint was in her eyes.

’How could he be so cute?’ she felt her heart aching for him that moment.

If he knew that she was faking it and she had orchestrated everything, would he still feel the same for her?

She hurriedly shook her mind, chasing away such thoughts.

Since she had already taken such a path, there was no turning back.

Whoever gets in her way, she would get rid of that person one way or the other.

She had spent so many years loving Logan, and there was no point in trying to act like a saint.

Anyway, just like he wished, when she woke up the next morning, she would pretend like it had never happened.

She didn’t want to waste her precious moments acting all pitiful and making Logan think about that vixen all the time.

After all, who knows if the tides continue to be on her side once Logan starts digging deeper?

After making up her mind, she burrowed into his chest with a smile and fell asleep instantly.

Sleeping in his arms provided a comfort that a warm blanket couldn’t.

Lying in his arms, she slept beautifully without any worries plaguing her anymore.

When Logan woke up the next day, he was welcomed by a smiling face. He was frozen in place, wondering if Briar had a dual personality.

She couldn’t have gone insane in a few hours, right?

He suddenly became worried as he observed her.
