The Husband

A Pawn in the Game

I was furious, to know he had the guts to come to her office and threaten her. Furious he was breaths away from at least grabbing her and... God just thinking about all possibilities that could've happened makes my blood boil.

"Are you okay?" I asked her while she laid on the tub looking peaceful and just damn beautiful everyday, running my hands through her hair she hummed in response.

"I will have to put more guards and better ones stationed in your building because I am pretty sure that I gave them a list of who can't be let in." I took her safety in the highest regard, if Hank comes close again I don't think the conversation would be as civil as she described it to be with the way he reacted and of course she knew his secret.

"I would understand why he would react that way, Just like Antoinette.. I know something no one should ever know." She opened her eyes and just staring at her hazel eyes made me feel calm and just like eating chocolate I felt close to heaven.

"I know baby.. But never, never is it alright for me to have them threaten you as if you are no one." Pressing a kiss on her plump pink lips, I got her out of the tub and wiped the excess liquid with a towelette.

She hated it when I do this to her, treat her like a porcelain doll that could break with just one fall however I could see that she was exhausted, she was just letting me do what I wanted to do.

That night she fell asleep as fast as a lightning bolt when we hit the bed, I had no complaints for I knew she was exhausted of the events today.

"Sleep tight and sweet dreams amore." Were all I could say while she snuggle up next to me, not minding we were both naked.

The next morning I wanted to surprise her, I cooked breakfast for us and brought it to bed so that we can both have breakfast in bed, we were taking the morning off and just visit the office by the afternoons to see how operations was doing for the day.

I had to tell Oliver to keep a watchful eye on Hank especially with the recent events, he was to be discreet and of course he knew that being an ex-marine.

"How are you feeling today?" I asked as she sipped on her apple flavored iced tea, watching Big Hero 6.

"Better, by the way.. I haven't seen or heard from Lorraine." She questioned and the very time she mentioned that name, I felt my blood boil.

"Stay away from Lorraine, it will do you best." My mood went from sweet to sour, getting off the bed she looked at me full of confusion and waiting for an explanation.

"Logan.." She whispered my name with concern, crawling close to where I was she held my hand, I broke in her touch.

"She is a traitor Cassandra... My own sister, was conniving with the Russell's. She was the one who continued ratting our plans, where we are, what are we doing.. She was helping them all because she was jealous of how everyone kept their sights on you than her." I felt her hand withdraw from mine, the bed creak and her arms wrapping themselves around my neck.

"You have to understand your sister Logan.. It is inevitable for her to feel that way, but never would I have thought she would do such a thing... " she started out, turning to face her she was kneeling on the bed, face to face she looked into my eyes.

"But again you have to understand Lorraine, Logan.. She was used to everyone paying attention to her, spoiling her and well basically she was the main attraction and subject of everyone. Of course knowing the Russell's they planted that in her head and used her." She sighed deeply as if disappointed, sitting at the edge of the bed she tapped the spot next to her and of course I knew what came next..

She pulled me down, gently. Placing my head on her lap, she ran her fingers through my hair and that was all she does to calm me down.

"You have to talk to your sister, be someone she needs in this time where most would go against her because of her decisions." She started massaging my temple and that alone made me sigh in content.

"Remember Logan.. My family is manipulative and they just used your sister. She was just a mere pawn in the game.. For them at least, but she is your sister, she is family." Turning to face her she looked at me full of concern, mulling on her words what she did say is true.

That no matter how much Lorraine fücked up, she is still my family and my sister.

"Fine.." I sighed and sat up, taking her face in my hand I leaned in and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

"You're too kind hearted Cassandra.." Rubbing my thumb against her cheek, she gave me a small smile.

"I do not blame your sister, dealing with people like Hank and his family, it would really mess with your head."

"You know how I love you so much right?" Trailing kisses down to her neck she started giggling and I knew my day just got brighter with just talking with my wife.

I visited the office in the afternoon and finished some work, had a few meetings that were scheduled in the morning to have them in the afternoon.

I was about to get ready to go home when my secretary Felice knocked, her mop of black hair peeked in and she smiled when she caught me.

Felice who was at her prime age of 50 with a couple of years which she wouldn't want to mention, she used to work for my father but she favored me more than him.

"Logan dear! Good thing I caught you on the last minute, your dad is here." She beamed and I did so back, telling her to let him in.

Came in Gerald Sabella looking as if he never aged and still as intimidating as he was when he was younger, if not he was much more than he was before.

"Hello Dad, how can I help you today?" He was silent, walking to my bar he got himself a drink of scotch.

"Its about your sister.." He whispered, downing the drink in one swig. I didn't like the foreboding tone he had behind the few words he just uttered.

"What about her? Cassandra and I were just planning on visiting tomorrow since she wanted to speak with her.. She already knows dad." I sighed, taking a seat in front of him he looked at me in the eyes and I knew from that look and the way he spoke something was really wrong.

"Dad?" He broke down, covering his face as he wept.

"Your sister is in the hospital, she overdosed on sleeping pills.. They say it was intentional especially with the cuts she had on her wrist. She went suicidal Logan!" He broke and cried, I knew if he was this way how much more my mother?

I came close hugging him tight, my father and I were never big for physical contact for consolation, he refused such but he needed it.

"Those Russell's are going to pay Logan, they used my little girl and God forbid I will crush them in my hands..." My father looked dead set and there is no stopping him.
