Chapter 7

Logan fell silent.

He was right. These were all his own choices. Who could he blame but himself?

He left without a word, went back to his room, and locked the door.

He read Evelyn's diary over and over again.

Almost every entry was about him.

In almost every one, Evelyn poured out her love for him.

Logan cried until his tears ran dry, finally drifting into a heavy sleep.

In his slumber, he dreamt of marrying Evelyn, but he found he couldn't feel any joy.

He watched, year after year in his dream, as Evelyn did countless things for him, creating one miracle after another for Moonstone.

Yet he remained utterly cold to her, never once sharing her bed in five years of marriage.

Finally, he slept with her once.

But he realized he was only using her. In truth, he had bribed a doctor to implant an embryo from Sarah—the child wasn't even hers!

What was even more suffocating was that after the child was born, Evelyn's love for him only grew deeper.
