standing behind the desk with a briefcase in his hand.
The old man looked at her. He was tall and thin, and he was dressed in a dark blue suit with a white button up shirt and a red tie. He blinked when he saw her.
"You must be Brittany Taylor. I'm Sherman Prescott. I'm Logan's family attorney. You have impeccable timing, miss. I believe that Logan and you have some wedding business to attend to." He nodded at her and then gave Logan a meaningful look.
"Make sure that you take care of that last part immediately. There is no way around it," he said adamantly.
Logan nodded and got up from the sofa, reaching his hand out to shake Sherman Prescott's hand. "I'll do my best, of course," he said solemnly.
Brittany watched them in horror, looking from one to the other. "You will do your best? Is that right? You're going to do your best to get me pregnant so you can inherit your father's money? Is that it? I was standing at the door just now, Logan, and I heard everything that the two of you were just talking about."
She took a step toward Logan. His eyes grew wide and his face paled.
"I can't believe you, Logan! I thought you loved me! I thought you were this incredible man who met me, fell for me, and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, because guess what, Logan? That's what I wanted.
“I said yes to your marriage proposal because I do want to spend the rest of my life with you. I do want to be your wife, because I love you! You know what? I guess I'm just a fool then, because you had me believing it, Logan... all of it." She glared at him hotly and her voice went up as she continued.
"It all makes sense now... how you wanted me all the time, how you never told me you loved me, how you didn't want to be a couple at first; remember that when I told you I wanted to date you exclusively and you told me no? I remember. Then you turn right around and ask me to marry you! Boy, did my head spin, right along with my heart, and I thought that you meant it.
“I thought that you finally admitted to yourself that you love me, that you did want to be with me, and that you wanted to spend your life with me. I thought you were moving a little fast but I thought, hey... it's true love. When it's the real thing, then why wait, and you played me for such a fool, Logan. You really had me going. Now here we are engaged and your little plan with your attorney is almost in place."
She walked close to him as he looked at her in shock, and she gritted her teeth at him angrily. "All you have to do is get me pregnant, is it? Then you get everything? And then what, were you going to divorce me? Is that why you made me sign that prenuptial agreement? It makes perfect sense to me.
“You romance me, you make me fall in love with you, you ask me to marry you, you have me sign the prenuptial agreement, and you get me pregnant, and then you have a kid before your birthday, you get all your money and your house and everything else and then you divorce me. I don't get a single cent from you because I was stupid enough to sign the prenuptial agreement! Then what, I just have to raise the child on my own with no support from you? That's great, Logan."
Brittany reached her right hand over to her left hand and grasped the big diamond on her finger.
As she pulled it off, she grabbed his hand and turned it palm up. "Well, here you go, Logan. I'm going to save you the trouble of being with me and having to go through all of that. Why don't you just go hire a girl to do it for you.
"Lena and Darren both tried to tell me to be careful, and they both thought that you were up to something, but none of us ever saw anything like this coming. You are a bastard, Logan. You are. You were tricking me and lied to me so you could get an inheritance from your father.
