The Wife

Breathe

Tonight was a night where I was finally making my debut, Logan kept the press at bay with little information on us but tonight we will be coming out with a party with the most influential and powerful people in the business industry and government.

Logan was the Alpha with him owning half the worlds best companies and of course his investments and shares, he was the ruthless bastard who overruled everyone - as stated on those newspapers.

"Bailey will be coming in a few minutes with your today's schedule, yes? I will be meeting you tonight at the venue." He smiled as I did his tie once again before he went to work, standing on my tippy toes I kissed him on the cheek feeling his arms wrap and tighten themselves around my waist as he hugged me close.

Later on, he moved his lips to mine. Kissing me with so much passion? I wasn't sure since he would be the first man I kissed this way.

The start of what we had was him helping me with getting back to the people who failed me and he was lending me his power, I didn't know what possessed Logan to help me but I didn't dare question him yet.

"I got to go work now love, you're making it too hard for me to leave you though..." He mumbled against my lips, my eyes still shut close but I knew he was looking at me, I knew those eyes of his were looking at me with so much intensity that I felt it burning my skin and hell I felt the sensation in me.

It took all of me to open up my eyes and see him staring at me intently.

"Cassandra..." He whispered once again, he was about to lean in for another kiss but a bell broke us apart.

Running my hand over my messy hair, I took a small peek over Logan and sure enough he was gone.

I was falling hard.. And fast.

"This looks pretty on you madame" the sales lady gave me an almost neon colored dress that made my eyes hurt with just looking at it.

"No thank you." I smiled politely at her, Bailey was currently in a call and I couldn't help but just get out of that horrid store and go to another one.

I was window shopping when I spotted a name that stick out like a sore thumb: Andara

It was moms store, the first one aside from the main back in L.A., believe it or not her clothing line she named after me, she called me that back then but something changed, everyone changed.

I couldn't help but walk in and look at all the dresses, the clerk at the place was a bubbly one and I liked her. But I never found the dress I was looking for, I never found it until I walked past Versace and it caught my eye.

There it stood, the dress that symbolized my whole being.

Spending time in the salon and talking to Bailey made me lose track of the time, she drove me back home with the big dress bag at hand with Versace's logo on it.

With my hair and make up fixed, I was in my room slipping the dress on and of course lets not forget the shoes, staring at myself in the mirror I felt like a new person.

Running my hand through the ebony velvet material, I was a new person. A knock came at my door and there stood Bailey Bright who looked stunning in a yellow dress that had crystals encrusted on the bodice.

"Hey.. Logan sent these for you." She handed me a small navy blue velvet box, snapping it open there I stared at the most stunning pair of earrings ever.

They were tear drop shaped diamonds and they were chandelier earrings that certainly would steal your attention.

"Wow.. He's really outdoing himself. Simple but certainly an eye-catcher." Bailey said taking a peek and grinning up at me.

"He's really lucky to have a woman like you." She was smiling at me as if she was the proverbial cat that got the cream.

"I'm more of lucky to have met him and being his wife." I whispered still feeling awe'd by the earrings.

Oliver drove us to the venue and to say that I was nervous would be an understatement, this was the biggest event Logan planned and everyone would be there and I'm sure even they would be there too.

They wouldn't miss this for the world and I sure as hell didn't either. The car came to an abrupt halt, looking out I saw paparazzi's were swarming around the car, Bailey got out first while I stayed in most likely waiting for him and there he was coming towards us with a big smile on his face.

When he stopped in front of the wide open door of the car I scooted closer and shot out my hand for him to take which he did. Pulling me out I heard gasps and they started clicking away and started throwing questions at us, I was a little overwhelmed but Logan made sure I felt secure by wrapping his arms around me and maneuvering us around the crowd of reporters and picture takers.

"You look stunning tonight, my love." Logan leaned in whispering in my ear making me blush and turn to face him, placing my hand over his chest I placed a kiss on the corner of his lips.

"Thank you." I felt so warm and really great that I forgot we were in a public place.

"Mr. Sabella! Ms. DiNozzo! When's the wedding!?" A reporter asked and we turned to face them with our biggest smiles.

"In a month." Logan announced proudly, people started shooting out questions asking how we met? was there a baby on the way? Who was I really?

It all had been answered and well not really all, Logan chose not to answer some, I did a few answering of my own.

Since we both had enough of the questions, we both went in the venue, people swarmed to our direction, excited to meet the woman who snagged Logan Sabella.

'I met a few of Logans' friends in his circle of Elite Bachelors as they call them, kidding how he will no longer be the freeman he was.

"I won't feel chained and kept a prisoner if I have a woman like Cassandra." Was his answer which made me blush deep red.

A few officials of the government were invited and I met them, of course there were celebrities too.

I was looking around 'til I spotted them, the perfect family stood together along with Aleksander as they spoke with a few guests. Laughing as though they didn't just kick out a family member and leave her out of the light, make her feel like crap and worthless.

My grip around his arm tightened which caused him to stop talking with whoever he was speaking to, turning to me he saw my pained expression and looked worried.

"What's wrong dear?" He questioned, turning to me fully he held my hands in his - rubbing my hands soothingly.

"They're here.." Was all I said and he frowned.

"Who?" He looked around and back down to me, he pulled me in a secluded area of the venue and held me close to him.

"My family.." I choked, the term was like vomit stuck in my throat. Taking my face in his hands, he leaned his forehead against mine, looking at me he told me to breathe as I felt like I was being suffocated.

"Russell..My name is Cassandra Russell. I was Hank and Antoinette Russell's daughter." I whispered and he looked like he was ready to kill, his expression was murderous.

"Those bastards.." He pulled away and was about to storm back in the venue when I pulled him back in my arms. I cannot let him ruin his moment and image just for me.

I wrapped my arms around him and there I cried pouring my every emotion and pain that I had felt and held for the years I felt worthless, for the insults and degrading words I received from them just because I did not fit their standards. For just not being perfect.

I poured my emotions and heartache, thank goodness for waterproof mascara and for that make up artist teaching me on how to just touch up. I didn't look as terrible as I had been after my heart to heart with Logan. He was hell bent on making them feel what I felt and we would both make sure it won't be easy for them to rise back up.

We left the party early, I made sure they didn't see me and I wasn't close to them but I knew, I caught Aleksander looking at me for a brief moment before Logan and I left. On our car ride back home, I held his hand in mine, biting my lip hard.

"I'm sorry. We didn't really have to leave early." I whispered, he slipped his hand out of mine, he held my face, making me turn to him, I looked at him under the dim lights coming from the street lights and other places we passed by.

"We had to leave early, for I didn't know if I could hold back the anger I felt towards them. I have a lot of emotions in me right now after remembering everything you told me but anger rose above them all. I am mad with how your parents could do this to you. I know the Russells' but I never heard of them having a second daughter aside from Bethany." he was mad, but not at me. I laid my head on his lap and stayed that way 'til we got home.
