Chapter Four

"Welcome to our home." Zoey's mother said, leading Mark's family to the dinner.

"Daniella, you look stunning." Logan's mother said to Zoey's mother, giving her a tight hug.

"And you don't look the same, Miranda." Daniella said as they disengaged the hug, Logan watched as they both them exchange words like it's been a long time they've met.

Ivy walked downstairs, dressed in a red long dress, that had a long cut with her make-up well done and her hair packed in a tight bun.

"Good evening,ma and sir." Ivy greeted Miranda and Zayn.

Logan scoffed at her nice attitude, "Not like she's the one I want to marry." Logan muttered slightly under his breath.

"And you must be Logan, right?" Zoey's father said, standing in front of Logan.

"Yes, good evening." Logan said, trying to keep up his best attitude.

"Come sit." Zoey's father said, dragging Logan's arm to sit on the dinning chair.

Logan sat down, with his father and mother sitting opposite him,Ivy sat beside her mother, while Zoey's father sat at the head of the dinning chair.

"So where's my soon to be daughter-in-law?" Miranda said as Logan looked at her.

“Gosh, what's her problem? Not like the person I want to marry is Cinderella.” Logan thought.

"She's upstairs, still dressing." Ivy said politely making Logan scoff loudly as everyone looked at him.

Logan's father clapped his hands once to bring back their attention, "Should we eat or wait for her?"

"Well, let's eat." Zoey's father said.

"No, let's wait for her," Logan said, sighed heavily, "At least, she's the reason why we are here."

Zoey's father cleared his throat, "Sure."

"I would go call her now." Zoey's mother said, standing up when they saw Zoey decending downstairs, dressed in a white slanted, shoulder puff sleeve hem evening dress.

She walked towards the dinning room as everyone had a stunned face, she smiled at her achievement, she looked at Logan who had a non expressionless face.

"Good evening." Zoey said with a smile, "Sorry for coming late,I decided to impress my new family."

Logan smirked, "Bullshit." He muttered under his breath.

"Woah, you look beautiful." Logan's mother stood up hugging Zoey in a tight hug.

"Thank you, and you also look perfect." Zoey said as she smiled.

Zoey still can't believe she's this presented.

"Come on, let's sit." Logan's mother said as she took Zoey to sit beside Logan as Logan's mother went back to her seat.

"I didn't know our daughter in law, would be this beautiful." Logan's father said, looking at Zoey who still had a sweet smile on her face.

"So, I guess you have seen Logan in school countless of times." Logan's mother said.

"Yes." Zoey said.

"Well, I haven't seen her." Logan muttered under his breath but he made sure Zoey heard.

After some little talks and fake laughs.

"Zoey,how about you take Logan to the backyard and maybe you guys could talk things out?" Zoey's mother said.

Logan licked his inner cheek, sighing heavily as Zoey looked at Logan before nodding her head.

"Sure." Zoey said standing up but Logan didn't, his father gave him a deadly glare before he stood up, following Zoey.

Logan and Zoey walked side by side in the backyard,as they both climbed the stairs.

"Nice backyard." Logan said as he tucked his hand in his pocket.

"Thanks, my sister is an interior designer, so I guess she wanted perfection." Zoey said.

"I didn't ask for the history of the backyard." Logan said.

"Oh my gosh." Zoey said hurriedly with disappointment.

Logan smiled,as he walked to the couch, sitting down, Zoey watched him seated on the couch, she breathed heavily.

"If not for my parents,I would have struggle the life out of him, how come I fell in love with him in the first place?"

She walked towards him, sitting beside him gently but she didn't sit comfortably because of Logan.

Logan didn't give her a glance as he continued to look at the stars; Like it was his world.

Zoey looked up at the sky, "You like the stars."

"I'm measuring the stars not giving the stars a high five." Logan said without looking at Zoey who pouted her lips in embarrassment, as they both watched the stars in slience, "My mom reckons I'm going to be a star. And stars don't fall from the sky,I guess I'm not the lucky one."

"What do you mean? Everyone is a star." Zoey said as she held his hand, Logan looked at her and his hands.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Zoey said, as she removed her hand from his.

"Do you really want to get married to me?" Logan asked.

"What choice do I have now? My family's company is in some problems and I'm their only hope."

Logan smirked, "Hope? Do you think hope still exists? When things go wrong, don't go with them."

"You really know when to use your words." Zoey said with a smile, "I want to be brave for my family and help them when they need help."

"The bravest thing was continuing my life when I wanted to die." Logan said as he smiled, still looking at the stars.

"Hmm,so let me know more about you since we getting married soon." Zoey said.

" Story... is a tale told by an idiot,full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing." Logan said, standing up, "There is nothing you need to know about me, since I don't have much time left to spend with you."

"What do you mean by not much time left, since we are getting married,we are going to have a lot of time to spend together." Zoey said, standing up in front of Logan.

"Time, you know nothing about me, you are saying time in front of me, like I have that much time." Logan said.

"What? Not like, you are dying soon and you are still young,so I'm sure you have much time left." Zoey said as Logan scoffed.

"Time,you want to spend the rest of my life,do we even love each other or better still,do I love you? No, it's just an arranged marriage,so stop talking like something magical is going to happen between us." Logan said.
