Chapter 65 - Damaged self (2/2)

Astrid smiled at Logan, but deep inside she really is boiling in anger.

"Okay..." he replied, by that time he will announce that he will divorce her. As much as he wants to avoid hurting Astrid, he can't take another day not returning to Celestia.

He really fell into a deep pit called love.

Logan sighed as a small smile crept on his face, thinking of his lovely wifey, not knowing that there is another lady in there, looking at his expression and clenching her fist hard, her long polished nails digging in her hand.

Today is the day where Grayson and Alutia's empire former emperor will meet Logan to discuss the cure.

Taking his bath on the large bathtub, he thought of many things, about the cure he created and the reason why he created it. First because of his mini heartbreak when Astrid left him when they were younger, second because of his father, third because he wants to avoid pain and unnecessary emotions.

He never tried the cure to himself, he is planning to but now that Celestia barged in his life without consent, he just wanted to destroy the cure.

The bathroom door opened, revealing a naked woman in all her glory. Her misty eyes darted towards his and her cheeks with a small blush.

"L-Logan," her sultry voice said.

He went up, he's done bathing.

"Please don't leave" she begged him like she usually does. What can Logan have for her other than pity?

"Is it because of my scar?" she questioned him as she bows her head. The scar from her car accident is vivid in anyone's eyes, it's large and disgusting. She loathed her own self for that, insecurities arise as she looks at it in the mirror every day. It reminded her how broken she is, inside and out.

"I'm ugly that's why you don't want to touch me!" she continued, shouting at him as he gets out of the water.

Astrid started crying as she covers herself with her shaking hands.

The man walked closer at her.

Logan grabbed her hands, removing it from covering herself and looking at her, whole. His eyes piercing her whole self.

Astrid's heart began to cause an uproar in her whole system as she clings in Logan, traces of tears still in her angelic face.

It seems like this time, Logan will be willing to take her damaged self.
