Milena's POV
Should I tell him about the text messages? Can I trust him with this? What if it endangers his life? I need to tell someone. If I can't tell Julian maybe Logan will be the right person to tell but that isn't today.
" That's it. I'll think about what you said. Get ready to empty your bank accounts and trust me you're going to be working seventy-two hours a day if I take your advice" Logan chuckles then shakes his head. He must think I'm joking. Oh no, I'm not.
" I missed you, Lena. It's good to have you back" after Ariana's outburst when she saw us hugging and her ridiculous notion of Logan loving me, I decided to leave it that way. No need to ask him about it. It doesn't change anything between us besides he's fine. I'm good too. I don't want to jeopardize our long-term friendship.
" Yeah, it's nice to be home " I admit despite not missing home.
" I don't think you missed living here " smart ass. I don't respond to him because my phone began to ring. Nothing to it yes except the name on the phone. Touching the green icon, I place the phone on my ear quite curious to know what he wants.
" Jules,"
"Hey, Did you sleep well?" This is the first thing he asks me cos he knew how much I love cuddling with him yet he left me all alone.
" What do you think? " He goes silent on the phone yet I'm dying to hear his voice.
"Julian? Are you there?"
" Yes, babe. Where are you? " I bit my lips at the husky sound of his voice.
" I'm on my way to my parent's house," I tell him irking to let him know how much I missed him and it's not up to twenty-four hours yet.
" I missed you, babe. I was just trying to help. I thought that's what you wanted. I didn't mean what I said. You know that right?" Awww. My heart swells to know he's apologizing for trying to help me. I wish he was close by, we would be tongue deep in each other's throats already I bring my hand to my neck to rub it.
" It's not your fault. I overreacted and I appreciate your effort. It means a lot to me. Can you ever forgive me?" Leaning on the chair, I wait for his response. It must have shocked him to hear it. I mean every word. Logan turns to the side to look at me then smiles like he's proud of me little did he know my affection for Julian has to strive into my soul and I want to trust him more as time goes by.
" Of course. Fuck. I want to kiss you right now"I chuckle into the phone like a teenager in love with my legs crossed dying to feel his hot skin on mine.
" I will love that. Where are you?" My body was tingling all over so I had to change the topic before I wet my panties.
" Ireland. I'll see you in a month" All my joy and anticipation disappeared when he said that. A month? I'm going to sleep alone for a month?
" A month? Jules, I... Jules" he scoffs but I know he gets my point.
" I'll be back before you know it. You'll be busy, right? " An image of him groping an Irish girl envisage in my head though I shook it off. Julian is my husband, I should trust him but I can't help but think other girls find him as attractive as I do. What if he falls for one of them? Stupid but I can't help it.
" You're overthinking again. I'm all yours babe. Trust me" he says in a coquette tone that promises things to come. Things he'll be doing to me if we were home, alone in his bedroom.
Fuck! When did I get so lustful?
" Does that mean you have forgiven me? What if I want to take the offer and I want you to be one of my shareholders?" He hums then chuckles.
" In an airline? Trust me, babe, you can't afford me but I can lend it to you if you don't want it as a gift although there are no motives behind it. I just wanted to do something special for you. You deserve the best" he says causing goosebumps to appear on my body. Thank God Logan is still driving.
" Thank you, Jules, " I tell him, about to hang up when I hear a female voice from the background.
" Miss Iona told me to give you this, " His Secretary says. After putting one or two things together, I realized she was talking about Iona, Julian's ex that broke his heart years ago.
What is she doing there?
" Who was she talking about?" I quickly asked Julian.
" Someone I'm doing business with. Are you okay? " He asks for the umpteenth time.
" Yeah. I'm okay. I guess we'll talk about the airline when you return"
" Yes, babe. Are you sure you're ok? I can reschedule if you aren't " I want to badly insist he does but I'll like to use this opportunity to know what Trevor truly wants from Isabella and me. I need to prove Isabella's innocence before Julian finds out first.
I pray he doesn't find her before I do.
" I miss you but it's fine. As you said, I'm busy too. Are the bodyguards necessary? There's no threat here" I ask testing the waters.
" I think the culprit is there. Don't worry I'm unto him. He'll regret messing with me and my family. I'm going to turn him into a fugitive after I have taken everything that belonged to him. That bastard that dares to send me a warning. Obey Edward and watch me" he adds then hung up. I look at the phone and frown. The stalker sent a message to Julian as well.
What if Julian knows about Isabella?
She couldn't have signed up to kill Julian unless she was deceived, I know Isa. That's not my sister. I'm going to do everything in my power to save her from herself.
