Chapter 28
Daniel looked at his father, Cesar Rutherford, and lowered his eyes. “Dad, I tried my best to stop the company from falling. In the end, I have come to you to help me,” he stated.
“Shut your mouth!” Cesar shouted at his son. “Do you know what Logan told me when I talked to him? He you of you, our clan’s name has been
said
abused his person. Because destroyed. The Night Moon Pack has never been ashamed like this,” he reprimanded Daniel.
“Dad, I’ve reached out to a close friend. I believe he can lend a hand,” Daniel attempted to pacify his father’s anger.
“You think I cannot save your company,” Cesar bellowed at him. “Who did you abuse? Answer me and don’t stand like an idiot!” He muttered with annoyance.
“It was Hope. I didn’t abuse her exactly. I only refused to claim her as my mate. I didn’t know she would be cheating behind me with Logan and married him,” Daniel said with an agitated tone. He still couldn’t believe that Hope was able to seduce Logan, the Lycan
Prince.
“So, you were at fault. Because of you, my business relationship with Logan Moore has been affected. Can you imagine the humiliation I’ve had to face? Who told you to even date a woman, who knew Logan? Just leave my sight because your face enhances my anger,” Cesar pointed toward the door..
Daniel knitted his brows together. He knew how terrible his father’s anger was. So, Daniel didn’t argue with him and decided to leave.
“Dad, I’m sorry. But I’ll sure make up for it,” Daniel said with a determined tone and then left. As he closed the door of his father’s study room, Daniel decided to meet Logan once more.
“Sorry, Mr. Rutherford. But our Vice-chairman will not be taking any appointment for this whole week,” the female employee said from the other side.
“May I know why?” Daniel asked and stopped at the living room.
“The Vice-chairman is on his honeymoon. Shall I book an appointment for the next week?”

“No, thank you, Daniel refused and hung up the call. “Since when Hope start seeing Logan? How could she betray me? They both are on honeymoon, destroying my life. I’m not going to spare you, Hope. His jaw tightened in fury while he clenched his hand around his phone.
“Ple-please, don’t… don’t lock me up, Hope’s murmurs filled the room as she slept, her distress evident in her words. Logan, observing her closely, furrowed his brow upon hearing her plea. Initially anticipating her to settle, he grew concerned as her sleep turned into tearful distress.
Rising slightly and propping himself on his elbow, Logan reached out his hand to gently pat her head and then stroked it in tender motions. I’m here. You’re safe,” he whispered softly.
Gradually, Hope’s cries subsided, and her sleep became tranquil. The gentle caress on her head proved to be a source of comfort, eventually lulling her into a peaceful slumber.
Logan wondered what was the extent of abuse to Hope that she even used to get the nightmares. The one thing that astonished him was- Hope would react like a normal, bubbly person when she wasn’t.
Deep down, she was completely broken and shattered. Logan suddenly was
overwhelmed with a pang of guilt recalling the contract he had signed with Hope. He couldn’t torture Hope and toss her out of his life.
‘I cannot give her more pain. My b*dy, my lycan beast wants her. But my mind stops me from doing so. I want to fall in love once again, but is that easy?’ Logan wondered and continued to stare at her face.
Hope turned to him, her face buried in his chest. The scent of cologne filled her nostrils. and a tiny smile carved on her l*ps. By now, her sleep was broken. She gradually opened her eyes and saw Logan’s clothes chest.
Hope had no idea that Logan was awake and in excitement, she ended up hugging him.
“You are so warm,” she murmured.
“I’m not a blanket,” Logan promptly responded.
Hope quickly withdrew and lifted her head. “You are awake!” She exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, I am. Now, would you leave my shirt?” Logan arched his eyebrow at her.
