My Vengeful-Ex

Chapter 58

Christina 

Logan picked me up from the office and inquired about my day on our way to his apartment. He sensed my off mood from my single-word answers. 

"Is something wrong?" He inquired the moment we reached his apartment. 

I backed him to the door and crushed my lips over his, "Promise me you will never abandon me," I demanded, pulling away from his lips. 

"Darling, is everything alright? Why are you acting like this?" Logan looked surprised at my behavior.

"Promise me that you won't leave me alone ever again," I spread my hand before him and demanded in a stubborn voice. 

"You are scaring the shit out of me, Christina. Will you tell me what happened at work today?" 

I wasn't sure if I should tell Logan about Mom or not. I had no idea why I was letting her affect me. As far as I was concerned, I was done with that woman when she left me for her lover. Was she still with him? Did she have kids with him? Did she love them?

What the fuck was wrong with me? Why couldn't I stop thinking about her? Even if she had more kids, it was none of my business if she loved them, while she never attempted to check up on me my whole life. 

"Christina," Logan's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. 

"I met my mom today. She visited me at my office," I admitted. 

I couldn't hide it anymore. It felt like my heart would explode from all the bubbling pent-up anger towards my mother. 

"She came to your office?" Logan seemed shocked. 

I nodded, then hugged him, "Why did she come now? When was I happy for the first time in my life? Why did she have to ruin everything for me?" I let my tears loose and cried with my face buried in Logan's chest. 

"Hey, it's okay," Logan rubbed my back, trying to comfort me. 

"It's not okay, Logan. I don't want to see her ever again. Looking at her brought back all those awful memories of my childhood. When I was all alone at Clairings with no one to love me, you can't imagine how horrible it could be when you have no one who loves you," I said between sobs, and the intensity of my tears only increased. 

Logan pressed me closer to himself. I could sense his discomfort and how my crying bothered him. Even though Logan was a brat to most people, especially in school, he was a renowned bully. No one ever dared to cross him, fearing his wrath, but he always had been kind to me. My pain and my tears always bothered him, and if he found out it was because of someone, he wouldn't be at peace until he would have destroyed them. 

"I couldn't forget all those lonely stormy nights at Clairings when I wanted to snuggle with someone who would take away my fears. Grandmother never allowed me to hug her. Dad was always his cold self. He only hugged me once at the time Grandmother died. I didn't even know what a hug meant and how soothing it could be until I met you," my voice was heavy from crying, and my tears absorbed in Logan's shirt, soaking it. 

It was like a dam had broken inside me, and I couldn't stop myself from crying.  Every single repressed memory from my childhood was resurfacing, making me cry harder. I had to go through everything all because my mother wasn't on my side when I needed her the most.  

"Christina, baby, I have no idea how you went through all that, but I promise you one thing. I will always be on your side, and I will never abandon you," Logan's promise was sincere, and his words acted like glue to the broken pieces of my heart. 

I believed him that he would always be there for me. There was no doubt that Logan would do everything in his power to keep me happy. I peered up at Logan through tear-filled eyes and found him staring at me with affection overflowing in his eyes.
