The Wife

The Bride

I mostly stayed at home, Logan won't let go of how I saved him from his crazy ex and when I remember that day, its not because of how I fought for him against Ms.Duke, but of what happened after.

"Cassandra, I know you love staying at home but you do remember that our wedding is in a month and few days right?" He suddenly spoke up as I watched him walk around his room dressing up, well just putting on his cuff links and tie.

Yep I still preferred staying at the guest room even if sometimes I have the urge to sneak in his and lay in bed with him, the relationship between us though I don't want to notice is developing and fast. There were just moments where we find ourselves staring at each other and later on acting awkward, then there were those moments where we were just really comfortable with each other.

"I know.. Its just, I don't know where to start, I'm new to this kind of thing you know? Its not like I got married for fun." I whispered the last parts and out of habit, twiddling my thumbs like a little kid.

"Oh Cassandra..." I could hear him coming closer until I saw his shoes right in front of me and knelt.

"Do you want me to hire a wedding planner? Just give them your ideas and all that." he smiled and took my hands in his. Looking up at him, these were one of the moments I can't believe a guy like him would walk in my life. Where he'd help me and protect me from harm, but I still couldn't afford to fall hard for him since all this seems too good to be true - I still think I got into an accident and am currently in a coma.

"Really?" I whispered and he nodded, his thumb rubbing soothing circles on the skin of my hand.

"I don't want to stress you into things, just give them your ideas and let them make it true." He said lowly and leaned in to place a kiss on my forehead.

"By the way.. Do you have a laptop?" I asked and he raised a brow. The one I packed got destroyed as it got soaked with my clothes. I even tried drying it with a hair dryer but nada, it just gave up on me. Oli brought it to one of his buddies but my laptop was just a heap of mess, it was an old model and there weren't much parts left to fix it.

"I do. But I mostly use it for work, if you need one I'll be sending one later, yes?" He smiled and went back to dressing up, getting off his bed I walked towards him, grabbing the undone tie and fixed it like a pro.

"You'd make a great wife, I'm lucky you'll be mine." He whispered placing a kiss on my temple, to my cheek and he leaned down to kiss the space between my neck and shoulder.

"You mean I'm lucky to have you as a husband" I chuckled and he just bit my skin playfully, taking a step back he smiled at me.

He really was just too good to be true. Snap out of it!

"You shouldn't be spending your money much on me, I don't know how I'd pay you back one day." pulling away from him a little, I still had my hands still pressed against his strong chest, wishing I could feel his heart beat against my hand.

"From now on Cassandra.. Remember that what is mine is yours and vice versa. We will need to talk and clear all this tonight, I'll try coming home early for you." He smiled and grabbed his stuff ready to leave but he had to steal one more kiss from me before he did.

True to his word Oliver came knocking in with a bag from Apple, it was my new laptop. Logan already had it set up for me and all even had me connected to our WiFi and not long a new knock came and came in a snobbish looking woman, she dressed to impress and looked professional too, but it was just the aura around her.. It was snobbish.

Apparently she was the wedding planner and then I remembered what Logan told me, give her the ideas and all that.. But she declined all of them and said it was too simplistic, it should be grand and all with the fairy tale feel.

I had enough of her butting in and cutting me off I slammed my hand on the table, jolting her attention to me.

"Look miss.. My fiancee told me ,and that would be Logan as I would like to remind you, he told me he'd hire a wedding planner and not a dictator. Are you the one getting married?" I questioned her and she blinked at me.

My phone started vibrating and I just answered my phone when she gathered her thoughts.

"Look here your fiancee called me cause I am the best in this industry, if I only knew your so-called plans or ideas would ruin your husband-to-be's image, no one gives a s**t about you, its all about your fiancee cause as far as we know you're just marrying him for money." She glared at me and I just blinked, I blinked back all the tears and the pain I felt with what she said.

"I know that, but I don't think a wedding as intimate as only having close family and friends invited would ruin his reputation. I know no one gives a s**t about me, it would always be Logan since he was the famous one between us. I am marrying Logan for reasons people like you will never understand.. But then again why would I need to explain to you? " I glared at her and I knew I was at breaking point when I saw her flinch.

"By the way someone wants to talk to you.." I mumbled and handed her my phone. She took it and glared at me but her glare turned to fear and apologetic, now she looked close to tears. Handing me back my phone, she dropped to her knees shaking. Oliver came in and grabbed her by the arm, he was glaring hard at her.

"I..I..I am sorry Mrs. Black" she stuttered and looked at me with pure horror.

Whatever Logan said broke the snobbish woman who came in this morning with a pompous aura around her.

"Its Ms.DiNozzo.. Not yet Mrs.Black" I sighed and walked back to the living area working on my new laptop.

First thing I did was get on Safari and searched up on the recent news with my family and to start on it:

Hank Russell is running for Vice President this upcoming elections, being he has been in the Senate for years now.

Antoinette Russell just opened up a new branch of her fashion house in Milan and Paris. Another fashion show is successful before winter season rolls in and a new collection arises from her line.

Beth Russell and rumored fiancee Aleksander Rostov were spotted on Moscow enjoying their vacation and with the aura around these two there are wedding bells ringing.

Aleksander... I remember when he used to talk to me, but there came a day where he suddenly looked at me with pity and sometimes disdain for reasons I would never know, and to think I crushed on him for years.

Andrew Russell has an upcoming movie and it is said that it would pay him twice to thrice of how much he was paid back in his movie Shotgun.

The perfect family is what they are, they were so fücking perfect they disposed of their daughter they deemed worthless however, one of these days, that will change.

The planner left and I was alone with Joanne, she set a cup of coffee in front of me while I browsed through the internet, looking at dresses. I wanted to call Bailey but I didn't want to intrude, so I held it off for a while until I couldn't help myself and call.

Joanne opened the door for her and she was really a breath of fresh air with her optimistic and bright self, showing her the dresses I liked so far, she also gave me her input, before we knew it, Logan was home.

"Well hello there, this is unexpected." He set his case on the table, walking towards me, he pressed a kiss on my forehead.

" Why hello my estranged cousin" Bailey rolled her eyes, looking annoyed before her expression changed to a gleeful one, she hugged him tight.

The familial relationship between these two sometimes makes me question things, or I'm just not really experienced on that topic as well, since the only person who was close to me like family was Ian and my mother's old friend, Marceline DeVereux. She stood as my mother when Antoinette wasn't, she used to frequently visit me and even ask me out but suddenly she wasn't there, it was because she and Antoinette had a fall out and their friendship broke, along with their business partnership.

I watched as the two bickered and bantered like children. Logan later on took my hand and hugged me, I was quite surprised but overcame that feeling when I hugged him back.

" I'm home."
