Billionaire's Contracted & Unloved Wife - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Chapter 130 Chapter 130: Chapter 130 Logan sat on Ariel’s bed, staring at her for a very long time.

Ariel was nervously tapping her feet beneath her as she waited for Logan to respond to her request.

Logan released a long sigh and asked, “So, you want me to be your boyfriend, but not be your boyfriend?” He tilted his head to the side and observed Ariel.

Ariel slowly nodded, “If you put it that way, yes…” Logan came down from the bed and strode toward her; he reached where she was sitting and lowered himself to a squat in front of her.

“I’ll do it, Ariel,” He held one of her hands in his.

“Really?” Ariel asked with a smile.

He nodded.

“Yes.

I don’t know what happened in the past, but I’ll be patient and wait until you’re ready to tell me.

I don’t know how particularly, but I feel you’ve asked me to be your pretend boyfriend because you want to keep someone away, am I right?” He asked softly.

Ariel stared at his face and smiled.

He was such a good soul, too, but she had to use him the way she was doing, but she wasn’t manipulating him; she did tell him that their relationship was fake and she wasn’t going to give him false hopes.

“Well, Mr.

Smarty pants, now that you know everything, do you want a reward too?” She pinched his cheeks.

Logan smirked and moved closer between her legs, “Yes, I do want a reward, it’d not going to be easy staying beside the woman I love and not being able to hold her or even kiss her, so I want a reward,” he nodded.

Ariel narrowed her eyes, “Hmm, what do you want, or should I ask, how much do you want?” She asked.

Logan chuckled, “Come on, baby, you know I don’t need money, I’ve got loads of them.

I’m quite a simple man with a simple request,” He replied.

Ariel nodded; he was right; he did have his own money, so what was his dimple request?

“So, what’s this simple request of yours?” She questioned.

Logan slowly raised his hand to her face and caressed her cheek, allowing his thumb to trace very closely to her lips, he could see in her eyes that she had already understood what his request was, but for good measure and for the sake of consent and communication, he still said the words.

“I want to kiss you, Ariel,” his voice was as gentle as the wind.

Ariel gulped, she knew it was what he wanted the moment he placed his hand on her face.

It was just a kiss, she could grant him that one wish, but it meant nothing compared to what he was going to do for her.

She slowly started to lean her face down to his and when Logan saw her coming toward him, his heart hammered loudly.

This was what he wanted from the moment he saw Ariel, he couldn’t believe she had agreed to kiss him.

Ariel paused just a breath away from his lips and whispered, “Just this once, you promise?” Logan drew on a sharp breath, “Just this once, baby,” His voice was nervous as he spoke.

Ariel nodded.

Logan placed a gentle head behind her neck and raised his face to angle his lips with hers, and the moment their lips were about to touch together, the door flew open, causing Ariel to fall back into the chair, looking as if she hadn’t almost had her lips smashed against Logan’s.

“Mummy, cuddle,” Jace stood in from of the door and raised his hands above his head, indicating that he wanted to be carried.

“Of course, baby, Mummy will cuddle you,” She stood and slid away from Logan who looked as if he’d just gotten dumped by his girlfriend.

She went and carried her son and walked over to the bed, gently laying him in the middle.

“I guess I’ll go catch some sleep, then,” Logan said as he stood from his squatting position.

His golden moment was ruined by a toddler, but he wasn’t offended; he was just disappointed; it would have meant the world to him if he had kissed Ariel.

He stood close to the door and waved at Ariel, who was covering Jace with the sheets to keep him warm.

“Logan, I’m sorry-” “It’s okay, Pookie, you can still make it up to me.

Goodnight,” He winked at her and blew her a kiss before he turned off the light and shut the door as he left.

Ariel sighed.

She almost kissed another man.

For three years, this was the closest she’d been to a man.

She didn’t know if she should be thankful to his son for interrupting them or not.

She wasn’t even sure anymore if she really wanted to kiss Logan or if she just wanted to see how it felt kissing another man.

All her life, Aiden had been the only man she’d been with; she had never tried anything with any other man; it left her curious, wondering what it’d feel like to have sex with Logan.

She shook her head and looked at her sleeping son.

“Forgive me, son.

I’ve allowed myself to get distracted.

You’ll always be the only man in my life, you and your grandfathers, of course.

Any other man is fake,” She whispered softly.

She raised the sheets and got under it, snuggling close to her son and hugging him to herself.”Goodnight, Pumpkin,” She kissed his forehead and placed her head on the pillow, closing her eyes as sleep came knocking.

It was always easier to sleep with Jace in her arms.

By the next morning, Ariel and everyone headed to the airport, she was surprised to see Eva at the airport already waiting for them.

She wanted to ask her what she was doing there but Mr.

Sloan told her that Eva had pleaded with him to let her tag along Ariel just let it slide, she knew Eva would have missed her parents and would want to see them.

She hoped she stayed with them, too; she no longer wanted her by her side.

As she sat on the plane, she couldn’t stop the memories from flooding her mind, memories of Aiden, both the happy times and the sad times; she could still remember everything like it was yesterday.

She hoped she never met him, and even if she did, she hoped she had the strength to ignore him and walk away.

*** Aiden was sitting in his office that afternoon when he received a call from Viktor.

“Viktor?” He called coldly.

“Hi, where’s Ken?” Viktor’s voice sounded tiredly from the phone that was put on speaker.

Aiden frowned, “How should I know that, Viktor?” Viktor sighed, “Well, I shouldn’t be the one receiving a notification from “Jace Tech” asking him to be more of the manager he is and not put more load on my end, the company here in Miami is already killing me,” He complained.

“Noted, Vimtor, forward the email to me,” Aiden instructed and ended the call.

He received it immediately.

He opened it and saw that the location had been booked by the “Jace Tech’s” manager, Gideon.

It wasn’t that far from his new company, which was good because he might have just declined it if they even thought of making him travel far.

He read carefully to see if the owner of the company was mentioned anywhere, but he didn’t see any; he almost dropped the tablet when he suddenly paused at the electronic signature at the lower right bottom of the screen where the owner of the company was supposed to sign.

“Ms.

Sloan?” He muttered.

He was surprised to see the “Ms” there.

He had thought the company was owned by a man since it was named after one.

Je couldn’t believe that a woman was worthy of competing with him to the extent of making him feel threatened in his business.

He couldn’t wait to see who this woman was.

‘Must be an elderly woman,’ he thought.

He believed no young woman would have such ambition at such a young age, they would probably be busy looking for rich men to marry and deceive.

He immediately got his phone and typed in “Ms.

Sloan of Jace Tech,” but he was instantly disappointed when he saw the usual “No results found” whenever he tried searching for the owner of “Jace Tech.” He sighed and rubbed his face.

Why was he so interested in knowing who it was, to be fair, it wasn’t the only company that was competing with him, but something was just drawing him to it, and because of that, he couldn’t wait for the next day to come so he could see this long-awaited owner.

He shut down his computer and headed home; he needed to go prepare for tomorrow; somehow, he felt like tomorrow was going to be special, and he hoped it was.
