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

(A/N: Anne-Marie & James Arthur - Rewrite the stars )Say you were made to be mineNothing could keep us apartYou’d be the one I was meant to findIt’s up to you, and it’s up to meNo one can say what we get to beSo why -I felt someone’s fingertips touch my earlobe for a split second before one of my earbuds was pulled out of my ear. I turn my head to look at Logan with startled eyes.“Yes?” I asked him, pausing the song on my phone. Logan glanced back at me for a second before his gaze returned to the road.“I said we will be stopping at the gas station to buy some items for the trip. You okay with that?” He asked, his fingers tapping on the steering wheel according to the beat of the song p

(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

Logan doesn’t care if he’s exceeding the speed limit or there’s a chance he might get a ticket, all he cares about right now is get to Karolia as soon as possible. Logan’s heart was thumping ten miles per second. He didn't know what happened to her and that made him worry more. Karolia told him that there were people around her and she was in a moderately safe place but that did nothing to calm Logan down. Hearing her sobs only made him push the accelerator hard.The car screeched to a halt as soon as he saw the na

“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 notice the busy street of New York as I sit on the backseat of the expensive Maserati Levante with my rising nervousness. Just this morning, I woke up alone in bed with yesterday’s event fresh in my mind. I was hoping to wake up to Logan’s warm hands wrapped around me like a cocoon, but I was disappointed when I didn't find him in the apartment in the morning. But to my surprise, he texted me around eight, asking me to come to his office within an hour to discuss something important with me. Seeing that message was like a deja-vu and here I am, on the way to his office.William dropped me in front of Logan’s office and I bit my lips in anxiousness. I scan the surroundings and just as I remembered, it was buzzing with people looking busy to get to work. The last time I came here it didn’t end up well, but considering the way Logan texted me using his infamous endearment ‘love’, I hope this is not going to go all downhill

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

If you ask me which is the boring subject I’ve learned in my life, I would answer Economics without any hesitation. Right now I’m trying my hardest to keep my eyes open. Looking around the class, some students in the last row are either already asleep or are on their phones. Some are trying to stay awake like me and a few are really engrossed into the subject, good for them. Mrs. Franks doesn’t really care about the number of students listening to her lecture, she only cares about how many of them are in the class. As I wanted attendance, I tolerated this class. I guess that’s the only reason why at least these many students are present here. It’s even boring since both Scar and Tyler are not having the same schedule as mine for today. So I just have to suffer this one and half hour alone, brooding. If I had an option to choose between economics or accountancy, I would choose accounts in a heartbeat, not that it’s my favorite subject thou

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

“Heads up!” I heard Logan shout at me before I saw a piece of cake charging towards me. Even though it only took two seconds, I felt like it took a minute as if it’s coming in slow motion, but my reflex wasn’t working as I stood on the ground frozen with widened eyes. SPLASH! The creamy substance hit my forehead before it slid down from my face to the floor. I closed my eyes, gritting my teeth in anger as Logan’s loud laughter filled the entire kitchen. Wiping the frost off my eyes, I glared at Watson who was bent over and laughing his ass off. Taking that opportunity, I took an egg from the egg carton and walked two steps up to him before cracking it onto his hair. Now the tables are turned. I was laughing at him as the slimy egg fell from his head down onto the side of his face whilst Logan was glaring at me. But I noticed his surprised look transforming into a well known mischievous one. My eyes widened when I saw him eyeing the bowl of
