The cab dropped Logan of in front of his apartment building. The glass doors of the entrance oppened to reveal the lobby. An elegant marble counter stood on the far right side, and there stood an employee ready to serve the guests every whim. You could hear a soft mellow music playing in the background. Around the lobby people stood and chatted, each them wearing designer clothing that could cost more than a car. You could see their perfect hair, perfect makeup, perfect outfit. But, if you look close enough you could see the flaws, the smudged mascara, the split ends, the loose thread; and if you look even closer you could see the tired looks on their faces, the mask that they all keep for appearances sake. Leather furniture and glass tables were spread out throughout the room; and on the center of the back wall you see a beautiful velazquez. On the ceiling, stood a mesmerizing crystal chandelier; with all of its pendalogues shaped like teardrops. On the way to the elevator Logan was constantly greeted by his neighbors, to whom he had only talked once or twice. Taking the time to be know the people in his building, throwing dinner parties and brunches was more Odette's thing anyway.
All the way up the elevator, Logan went over what he planned to tell her in his head. How he was going to break the news. How he was going to tell her that he got his lover pregnant. He knew that she would be devastated by the fact that, that would ruin her image, ruin her reputation as a desirable heiress, she thought she was. He knew that as soon as he told her, she was going to go running back to her daddy, crying about how he had betrayed her. Immediately afterwards, her father would tell his dad and it would be over for him. He could kiss his inheritance, and his place in the company goodbye. But even though he knew exactly what would happen when he told her; he couldn't help but feel relieved that he could finally be rid of Odette. He was glad that he finally had a way out of his engagement. Out of the engagement his father had forced him into as a condition for letting him go back to the company. While he knew that getting back on his feet after getting kicked out of the company wouldn't be easy, he knew that he could do it as long as rory was at his side.
When he and Rory had seen each other again, so long ago in Munich that maybe, just maybe for the first, time in his life he got lucky. He had a second chance with the love of his life, the one that got away, Lorelai Leigh Gilmore. So he took advantage of said chance, they reconnected and ended up in his hotel room. It wasn't until morning when he woke up with her beside him that he even remembered Odette. When Rory woke up he felt compelled to tell her that he was engaged. That was when she proposed the Vegas agreement. That London would be their Vegas, when she was London they would be together and when she was not they weren't together. This had worked out well for the first few months until he started wanting more. He had never stopped loving her and wanted a real relationship; but he was afraid that she wouldn't want more since she also had her boyfriend Paul. So he took what he could get even though he wasn't satisfied, he would do anything just to have her in his life. So he compromised and accepted that they were both in committed relationships, just not with each other. Every time he saw here he was secretly wishing for more, and it broke his heart when in the b&b she had said goodbye that easily; not even fighting for what they had. The elevator doors dinged and opened to an open, huge, elegant loft where he and since two months before, Odette lived.
The loft was open and spacious, the perfect bachelor pad, meaning that Odette hated it and did everything she could to add a feminine touch. So his loft now had tacky pink curtains and tablecloths, lace pillows and flowers everywhere. In the living room he could see Odette reading a fashion magazine and went over to talk to her. Standing in front of her he suddenly felt his hands grow sweaty and felt as if his tie was choking him, not knowing how to tell her he just blurted it out.
"Odette, I got my lover pregnant," he told her nervously.
"What do you mean by, I got my lover pregnant?" she asked angrily.
"Well, I haven't been honest with you. While you were living in Paris I had an affair and got my lover pregnant." He whispered.
"Very well, how much will it cost for her to get rid of it and keep quiet?" Odette asked heartlessly.
"She's not going to get rid of the baby, Odette" Logan said starting to get angry.
"Yes she will, just name price. Everyone has a price," she stated cold heartedly.
"She's not terminating the pregnancy, not now not ever," he yelled. "She's keeping the baby and I am leaving, to be with her and our child."
"You can't leave, what will people think of me," she cried out. "If you leave your dad will cut you off and you will lose your place in the company. I will make sure of it."
"I don't care," he said truthfully. "I know that as long as I have her and our child I will pull through, plus I still have my trust fund
and that will help me get started on what I have always wanted to do. Start my own company. You can tell my father whatever you want but I
won't marry you, I'm leaving tomorrow." With this he walked out of the apartment and her life forever.
