Chapter 57

Logan

I don’t know what comes over me when I want to kiss Nadine. We aren’t there yet, but I miss how her lips fit perfectly with mine. I miss the taste of her lips on mine.

I think she wants it, too. I can feel her heart pounding, and her nerves are all over the place.

Her eyes tell me she feels the same way. But when she refuses, my heart sinks, and I don’t know how to react.

She’s still here, but that doesn’t mean we can go back to how we were before Samantha came into the picture.

Could she be pregnant? The thought doesn’t sit well with me. Based on her explanation and the terms of the contract, she wants to be pregnant so she can have the baby and leave.

I’m not sure if I imagined it, but I think I heard her say something like, “The baby and I want you alive.” Maybe I’m hallucinating.

I can’t shake off the feeling that something is off. I should be happy that she’s still here, but instead, I feel this growing unease.
