Chapter 2
Logan looked at his watch as he hurried to the elevator; he was going to be late for his early morning meeting, but he had realized about an hour after he got to work that he forgot one of his portfolios at his flat and it was vital for the meeting he was possibly going to be late for.
Things had been different since his 'last goodbye' with Rory at that quaint little inn in New Hampshire. It had only been 3 days, but it felt like it has been months. He hadn't been able to focus and he just wasn't happy. Odette was a nice enough woman, but she was the stereotypical socialite and their relationship was based completely on societal obligations. He knew she didn't love him, that she loved his status in society and his bank account; just as he was sure she knew he didn't love her. She was the complete opposite of Rory, and he was miserable. Over the last few years after he and Rory had reunited in London, he had at least been able to bear the situation with Odette because when he was with Rory, he didn't have to think about it all. He knew it wasn't fair to her to be the 'other woman' but that was the only way she would let him have her in his life and he was too selfish to let her go. Things had changed when Odette moved in though, his parents had been getting on him about moving things along with her and actually acting like an engaged couple that was going to be married within a year. He knew that once they were married, they would be expected to bring the next line of Huntzbergers into the world and he dreaded it. It just felt wrong, it felt wrong to make those plans with anyone other than Rory.
He entered his flat and didn't bother to call out, figuring that she was at some type of social function; she had gotten up and gotten ready when he got up for work at 6:00 that morning and driveled on about some type of something or other that he just had smiled and nodded and told her he hoped she had fun. As he hurried into the bedroom to grab the portfolio from his desk, he didn't register the sight before him immediately, but then his brain caught up with him and he realized that he had just walked into his fiancé in bed with another man. He stood there shocked for a moment, then opened his mouth to speak. "Sorry to interrupt you, I just forgot my portfolio, I didn't realize you were going to have company or I would have called first."
Odette's head whipped around, a mortified look on her face while the man below her just looked terrified. "Umm, Logan. . .hi. . .I didn't expect you home until this evening" she stuttered out as she turned and grabbed the sheet, wrapping it around her in an unnecessary display of modesty considering the situation.
"Obviously." He replied calmly. He wasn't hurt that she had cheated on him, he was just angry that she had done it in his bed and shown him such a complete disrespect. He knew that it was a double standard, but he was angry. "If you could get dressed and join me in the living room" he paused and finally acknowledged the man in his bed, recognizing him from a dinner party they had been at the week before. "And if you could please make your way out the same way you came in, I need to speak with my fiancé alone." The man just nodded wide-eyed, grabbing his clothes off the floor and hurrying out of the bedroom while trying to get dressed.
Logan gave him a minute then walked silently into the living room, dreading the conversation he was about to have with Odette. She joined him a moment later, endless apologies falling from her lips; he sat there silently, waiting for her to finish. When he realized that she was in full blown panic mode, he opted to interrupt her instead with a simple statement "It is over. Get your stuff and get out."
She looked at him wide eyed, started to argue, but saw the cold resolute in his eyes. It was over, she had messed up and gotten caught cheating on the Huntzberger heir, the man she was supposed to marry and have children with. She knew it wasn't fair that there was such a double standard in society, she was expected to turn her head as he slept with whomever he desired and not say a word, pretend it wasn't happening; however, she did not have that luxury. She was supposed to bring the next line of Huntzbergers into the world, and how would they ever know for sure that they were his children if it was common knowledge that she had been sleeping with other men. "I'm sorry Logan" she said quietly "I will have someone come get my things this afternoon." With that statement, she grabbed her purse and walked out the door.
