Chapter Five
"He doesn't love me." Zoey said as she sipped her coffee.
"Umm, what do you expect? It's an arranged marriage and by the way, Logan doesn't look like someone looking for love and you know that." Daisy said.
Zoey scoffed, "He keeps talking like he's going to die tomorrow."
"Do you think he's a sadist?" Daisy whispered.
"To hell with him being a sadist." Zoey hissed.
Daisy choked on her coffee, "Can you please chill? You are being too sassy." She said, wiping her mouth with a napkin.
"I mean my ex are better than him."
"No ex is better than current, Zoey." Daisy said as Zoey just sighed, "So why didn't you come to school today? Instead you are in a coffee shop since morning till now, that's weird."
"I don't want to see his face,of course." Zoey said making Daisy scoff in response, "He embarrassed him in that dinner."
"Publicly or privately?"
"Well, both." Zoey said, looking outside the big window beside her, she wasn't really ready to listen to Daisy's lecture.
"Look, with all the story you have told me, I don't think Logan is at fault." Daisy said.
"Daisy." Zoey called out her name looking at with a surprised look.
"What?" Daisy added with a awkward smile.
"You are supposed to be supporting me not him." Zoey said.
Daisy scoffed, "I'm not supporting neither you or him, I'm just saying,all what he said was nothing bad, you should really know this guy attitude,I mean you are getting married," Daisy continued as Zoey sipped her coffee, seeing that her coffee had turned cold, she dropped it on the table as she looked at Daisy who continued to talk, knowing so very much, there is no more distraction, "So, maybe you should try to understand him?"
"Are you even listening to me?" Zoey asked making Daisy relax her shoulders, "You know, I would spend the rest of my life with him,since we are getting married, and he speaking like he's going to die tomorrow."
"My God, what else do you want me to tell you? Okay, divorce him." Daisy said, putting her hand on her head in a stressed way.
"Di.. Divorce him?" Zoey repeated what Daisy had just said with a surprised shocking look. "You know,we are not married right?"
"I'm not stupid, Zoey,I know you both are not married."
"So what are you saying?"
"Fuck, I still wonder why we are still friends," Daisy muttered under her breath, before looking at Zoey, "Okay,once you get married to him,you know that's when your family's issue of the company would be over,so maybe you would spend some little time in the marriage and whenever you are tired,you leave the place and you won't be leaving empty handed, you would leave him with half of his properties."
"Wow,I never knew you were this smart." Zoey said as she smiled.
"Well, now you know." Daisy said,as she sipped her coffee before spitting it back inside, "Fuck,my coffee is cold."
"Same here." Zoey said, lifting her coffee up.
"So when are you getting married to him?"
"In the next three days." Zoey said, lifting up her three fingers, before dropping it down.
"So you would soon become a wife, just like that?" Daisy asked with a stiffled smile.
"Just like that,my dear," Zoey said, giving Daisy a tired eyes, "I didn't know life has plans for me, I don't even know how to step my feet in school once I'm married."
Daisy laughed, "Don't worry, I think it would be normal, just few things would change."
"I'm getting married to a damn sadist, I will survive." Zoey said, laying her head on the table.
"You depressed?"
"Is depression a damn crime."

"Laugh if you want to laugh, Henry." Logan said to Henry as they both were in Logan's room, sitting on his bed.
Henry held his mouth, "I'm good, situations like this,I don't laugh."
Logan huffed. "Your problem."
"Wait, like seriously, you are getting married?" Henry asked, moving closer to Logan.
"I just said that a minute ago." Logan said, taking a book from his cabinet as he relaxed his back on the bed frame.
"My God, but why? I thought you decided not to get married again after Chrissy left." Henry said as Logan closed his book, looking at Henry who bit his lower lip as he tightened his eyes, "Sorry, I didn't mean to say her name."
Logan inhaled in heavily,as he blinked his eyes countless of times not to let his tears drop.
"Did she really leave me?" Logan scoffed, "Or I denied her in front of my mother?"
"Well, your mother didn't like her." Henry said.
"But I did, she was my everything and you guys don't understand a thing I was going through when I was fighting for her."
"Logan, I think your mother was right, you know nothing about Chrissy, she wasn't yours."
"When are you leaving?" Logan said in a soft voice.
"What do you mean? I thought, I said, I would be passing a night here, I'm running away from my mom." Henry said.
"Henry," Logan called out his name as he played with his book in his hand.
"Hmm." Henry hummed.
"I don't think,you would be staying here for the night."
"What?" Henry scoffed,"Are you.. chasing me out?"
"Yes, please.. leave the door behind you." Logan said, pointing to the door. "Now."
"But why?"
"Because I can't let someone who doesn't support me,pass a night with me." Logan said.
"Just because I didn't support you and Chrissy, Chrissy is a bitch."
"Say another word about her and I swear,you would know not because I'm ill,I won't punch you." Logan said, giving him a deadly glare.
"Logan, it's me, Henry." Henry said pointing to himself.
"I'm only terminally ill not terminally blind and Yes,I know it's you, Henry and you are beginning to pass your boundaries, so leave, before I pass my own boundaries and trust me, you won't like it."
