"The surgery was a success". He finally said his gaze lingered on her.
Hannah didn't say anything for a while as she slowly raised her free hand and pointed at the mask.
Logan understood and slowly helped her removed the mask from her face and pressed the button of bed to help her sit up.
After helping her, Hannah sat comfortably and stared back at him. There was this kind of peaceful silence that enveloped them; neither of them said a word to each other for a while until Logan spoke,
"I accept I slept with Scarlett the woman I claimed we didn't sleep." He explained with a bland tone.
Hannah just nodded.
"Logan, let's come to an agreement". Hannah suddenly said and Logan surprisingly agreed which stunned Hannah.
"What agreement?" He asked with a motionless voice.
"Since I agreed to obey your marriage contract rules, can you please let me visit my late parents grave every weekend?" She asked with a small voice.
Logan was slightly taken aback by her request. He then asked,
"Is that all?"
"Nope. I also want two things. I know I will sound selfish and it's not in my place to demand for such things. The first one is, "when you eventually get tired of me or don't need me anymore, let me gently. Don't make me a prisoner and suffer more. And the second one I need is for you to always tell me the truth. Don't lie to me, it's better if the truth hurts than hearing it from another person. Tell me truth even if it stung". She explained her agreement calmly.
Logan was utterly rendered speechless with her simple agreement. He didn't expect any of these. He had expected her to say things like,
"Let's renew our contract and so other things. But this is the least he expected from her.
"Deal, I will always tell you the truth if that's what you". He finally said and Hannah gave him a faint smile.
"How about the first one I asked?" Hannah reminded him thinking he might have forgotten.
"Thought your parents bodies were never found?" He raised an eyebrow.
What do you mean? Hannah asked with a confused frown.
Logan saw the confused look on her face and decided to change the topic for some reasons best known to him.
"I meant sure." I just remembered it's a friend of mine family that their bodies couldn't be found. He explained dismissively.
Hannah smiled and mouthed the word,
"Thank you".
Its not a problem. He said as he slowly raised his hand to caress her hair.
Hannah was so shocked to her bones.
No, shock was an understatement. She was more than shock with the way Logan was treating her at that moment. This was strange and at the same time very scary. She knew Logan wouldn't stoop so low to act this caring towards her.
She pursed her lips hard trying to summon the courage to ask him the burning question.
Logan could tell she wanted to ask him why he suddenly started acting so caring towards her. He knew what she wanted to ask and he couldn't help but be amused at her reluctance.
"Ask your question". He said with an emotionless tone.
"Why are you suddenly acting caring towards me?"
As if he knew that was the question she'd ask.
"Since you know I married you for revenge....." He let his words trail off letting it sink into her brain.
Hannah's heart skipped a beat each time she was reminded that she was married as a form of revenge. She managed to keep a livid face so Logan won't think she cares.
Logan watched her every reactions, she wasn't good at hiding her emotions, even if she keeps a livid face, her emotions were easy to read.
"We will act as the perfect loving couple in the eyes of the public and you will do as I say." He said straightforwardly.
Hannah gulped hard swallowing the sharp lump on her throat.
She took a silent deep breath before exhaling softly.
"Isn't that what we did at the party?" She whispered lowly not daring to look his piercing gaze.
"That isn't acting as a perfect loving couple. That is basically part of the tradition in Sutherland city". He said bluntly making Hannah gasped in disbelief.
She never knew Sutherland city has traditions. She had always thought Logan was acting as a good husband to her in public. It never crossed her mind tatt he was only following traditions. Does that mean her heartless and cold blood husband who kills without mercy follows a tradition in his country? She mused, well, she never saw this coming and him acting as a good husband to her public means following traditions, does that also apply to the kiss they shared?
Logan's piercing gaze was on her as if he was trying to see through her;to see the deepest part of her soul. Hannah felt his piercing gaze on her and her face flushed red. She subconsciously fluttered her lashes staring down at her hand that was still on IV drip. She didn't want Logan to see her flushed face, but Logan's eagle eyes saw it all and for some strange reasons he couldn't comprehend, his heart skipped a beat. Why did his heart skipped a beat? This was soooooooo unlike him. He doesn't love her, he just wanted to use her to play a game. So why the hell would his heart skip for a low class woman that isn't even up to his standards.
To him, she is the only one who can play this perfect game with him to achieve his goals. And once he achieve his goals, he will go back to torturing her and making her life miserable. He won't even let her go, the only reason why he agreed to her foolish conditions was because he needed to let her guards down; he knew she was quite the sensitive type and a crybaby. He would have to ease her down so his game plans can be accomplished. He thought with an amused smile.
Not only will she fall into his traps, she will have no choice but to succumb.
