Christina

I shut my mouth in horror but it was too late. The words had left my mouth and I could see Logan's reaction on his face as clear as a day.

Logan was furious.

He was beyond furious from the way he was glaring at me. I regretted getting carried away at his provocation. How could I act so recklessly?

"Is Logan my Dad?" Aiden's voice broke the trance in which Logan and I were caught up.

"He.... he....," I couldn't say anything further.

"Go ahead... tell him, Christina," Logan asserted with a clenched jaw.

I shuddered at the suppressed anger in his tone. Logan would never forgive me for hiding this truth from him.

"Mom, is Logan really my Dad?" Aiden's tone became insistent and I realized he wouldn't stop until I answered him.

"He is," I finally pushed the words out of my mouth.

The glint in Aiden's eyes multiplied a hundred folds and he stared between Logan and me with widened eyes.

"Is this why we shifted here? So I could live with my Dad?" Aiden inquired with excitement bubbling out of his tiny being.

Only if I could tell him we were here because his father wanted me to be his mistress. Even the word mistress, was enough to make me want to puke. Logan had left no stone unturned to humiliate me.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that Logan was my dad. Why did you lie to me that it was Nicholas? Aiden's mind was working faster than I could have ever imagined.

Would he hate me for hiding the truth about his father from him? But I was doing it only for keeping them both safe from the people who were hell-bent on destgroying us. Logan kept glaring at me, with thousands of accusations in his eyes.

"Dad," Aiden whispered in amazement.

Logan pulled his smoldering gaze from me with great difficulty and turned to Aiden. He stared at Aiden with amazement for a few moments then leaned and pressed his lips against Aiden's forehead. I noticed him pressing his eyelids together, struggling to keep his emotions under a lid. I gulped trying to swallow the lump that had formed in my throat seeing Aiden and Logan together.

Did I make a mistake?

Not telling Logan about Aiden's existence. The way Aiden was looking at him with such wonder and awe in his innocent eyes, drowned me in a pang of indescribable guilt.

"You won't leave us again, will you?" Aiden asked in his soft voice.

I felt like someone squeezed my heart mercilessly. Tears stung at the corner of my eyes. I was feeling like a villain at the moment. Keeping Aiden away from his father was the biggest mistake of my life.

What could have I done?

I didn't have any option. By the time I had found out that I was pregnant Logan had disappeared. I had no way of contacting him. And even if I did I would never have done it, given the circumstances I was caught up in. I had lost Logan and I couldn't afford to lose Aiden too.

"You want me to stay?" Logan inquired looking into Aiden's eyes.

My heart beat so hard I could hear it in my ears. I wanted to be anywhere but here at this moment. Logan might kill me, for this betrayal.

"I do," Aiden nodded.

"It's too late, and kids shouldn't stay awake past their bedtime," I tried to excuse myself from Logan's presence to avoid any confrontation.
