Coming Home For Christmas

Lacey's PO.

“Well, well, well, look who it is, it's mousy Lacey"

Urghtl, lord give me strength.

“What do you sant iio"

~

“I just wanted to say hi to an old friend, it's been a long time since we last saw each other"

old friend?.

1ever have been and we never will be friends"

» bartender.

"Another glass of bourbon, hmm? what's wrong? trouble in paradise?”

GiGi asks and I chuckle but there was no amusement in it.

"Actually GiGi, everything is perfect in paradise, I've got my three wonderful kids and a drop-dead sexy husband who makes me very happy

if you know what I mean?"

Isay with a smirk and she glares at me.

Her glare then turned into an evil smirk.

“Oh I know exactly what you mean, Lacey because before you tricked him into marrying you, he was making me very happy as well"

"Really? so, you and Logan have had s*x then?"

Task and she lets out a scoff-like sound.

"We weren't just having s*x, Lacey, we were in a relationship”

Is that so?.

“So, you've seen Logan naked then? you know what his body is like and if he's got any scars or tattoos?"

"Of course I do, Lacey, I'm not blind"

She said while rolling her eyes and I smiled.

"What's your favourite tattoo of his?"

Task and GiGi looks at me with a stumped expression.

"What?"

“You heard me GiGi, what's your favourite tattoo of his? mine's the one on his back, you know the one of the giant skull which covers his

entire back”

"Yeah...yeah, that's my favourite as well, I love that tattoo"

She says and I chuckle.

"Why are you laughing? what's so funny?"

“Oh nothing, it's just that Logan doesn't have a tattoo on his back"

Isay with a smug smirk as GiGi's face drops.

“You think you're so smart, don't you?"

“Actually no, I don't think I'm smart GiGi, I know that I'm smart and I'm clearly smarter than you are since you don't even know what your

alleged lover's body looks like"

Tsay while still looking smug and this pissed GiGi off.

"Ok, so 1 don't know what tattoos he's got, it doesn't mean we haven't f***d, Lacey..I mean did you ever think that maybe we were both so

lost in each other to notice what one anothers bodies looks like?"

“Actually no, I never thought about that..I guess it's because when Logan and I make love to each other he makes sure to pay attention to

every inch of my body just like I do with him"

GiGi's face flamed with anger after hearing my words as she stepped closer to me with both of her hands clenched tightly into fists.

For a split second, I thought she was gonna hit me and I was ready and willing to knock her out if she even attempted to swing at me but

luckily for her, she didn't.

“So, you've already whored yourself out to him, have you? it's not surprising, I mean, it's a well-known fact that girls with daddy issues tend

to spread their legs for any man who says hello to them"

She says with a smirk and I glare at her.

"Well, you'd know, GiGi, wouldn't you?"

I growl at her and her smirk drops.

“Besides, I don't have daddy issues unlike you, I mean, do you even know who your father is, GiGi? because we all know the man who is

currently playing house with your momma in New Jersey isn't your dad and as for Logan, I've got every right to have s*x with him, he is my

husband after all”

I'say whilst holding up my hand to show her my engagement and wedding rings.

Her eyes widened when she saw the beautiful yellow canary diamond sitting on my finger, she even tried to grab my hand but I backed up

away from her.

“What the hell are you doing?”

“That's my ring, that belongs to me"

“No, it doesn't, it belongs to me"

“But he brought it for me at Tiffany's"

She growled as she stomped her foot like a child.

Tknew she was talking out of her ass but I still can't deny the painful sting I felt in my heart at the possibility of her telling the truth, after all,

there was that time on the news when they reported Logan and GiGi shopping together for rings at Tiffany's.

There's also the fact that Logan has always remained adamant that he and GiGi were friends and nothing more, so why would my husband

buy not just an engagement ring but an expensive engagement ring for someone who is just a friend?.

It doesn't add up.

“If he brought it for you then why didn't he give it to you? why didn't he propose to you? why did he fly all the way to London the second

he found out Iwas there if you're the one that he wants to marry?"

"Maybe it's because of those kids you've tricked him into thinking are his"

“Or maybe it's because he loves me...he didn't have to be in a relationship with me to be involved in his kid's lives, GiGi, he could've still

married the woman he loved and been a father to our babies, I would never have stopped that from happening...the only time I would've

stepped in is if his chosen bride was a danger to my children”

I'told her honestly and she looked genuinely shocked at my words.

“Look GiGi, I don't wanna be a b***h but I will be if you continue to spread lies about you and Logan...I don't get territorial about many

things but I do with my family and Iwill do anything and I mean anything to protect them"

“I'm not scared of you, Lacey"

GiGi said whilst glaring at me and I smirked at her.

“I'm not saying you should be scared of me, GiGi, I'm just giving you a simple warning to let whatever you think you feel for Logan go

because he's never gonna want to be with you, he knows you and the type of person you are and so do L.nobody wants to wife up

someone like you"

I'say and she chuckles.

“And what type of woman am I, Lacey?"

"You're an opportunist, you're a golddigger and you're an attention seeking fame w**e, you've been trying to be famous and get on any

trashy reality TV show that would have you ever since you were sixteen, you've also been trying to get your claws into any rich bachelor you

can get your hands on, it doesn't matter if he's ugly or good looking, if he's a bit on the chubby side or he's got muscles and six pack abs or

if he's single or married, all you care about is nabbing yourself a millionaire so that you can never work again and you can live a luxurious

lifestyle which you don't deserve with money you didn't earn, that's the type of woman you are, GiGi..you're not interested in Logan

because you're in love with him, you're interested in him because of his wealth and what opportunities and perks you'll receive from not

only having the Black name but also from being affiliated with the top three families in this city because we all know the Blacks, the

Carpenters and the Tates are New Yorks triquetra of power, wealth and status”

Isaid and she looked at me with a shocked expression.

I didn't wanna be mean to her but she deserved it.

She's a threat to my family and even though I trust Logan wholeheartedly, I don't trust this b***h and I'm willing to do anything including

being mean and putting her in her place to protect not only my marriage but also my family.

“I'm warning you, GiGi, stay the f**k away from my husband, he doesn't want you, he never has and he never will want you"

Twarn her before walking away from her hoping that she takes the hint and backs off.

Logan's POV.

Where the hell is my wife?.

Ihaven't seen her since I left her alone with her sister-in-law Sabrina and now I'm starting to worry about her.

Iwas about to pull my cell phone out of my pocket to call her but before I could, I was grabbed by my shoulder and turned around by Justin

Carpenter.

"What the hell, Logan? what are you playing at with my sister?"

“What do you mean what am I playing at? I'm not playing anything”

"Oh don't bullshit me, Logan, you're clearly up to something”

“And why would you think that, Justin?"

Task with a shocked/confused expression on my face.

“Because she's Lacey, our Lacey, our princess, remember?"

"Yes, I remember, Justin, she's my wife, for f***s sake"

I groan in annoyance.

“Well, why would you wanna marry her? you've never shown any interest in her before and you've always thought of her as your sister, so

why now?"

“First of all, she's not my sister and I've never ever thought of her as one and secondly, have you banged your head, Justin?"

Task him and he looks at me confused.

"What? of course not, why would you ask me that?"

“Because if you haven't banged your head then you need to get it checked because you're clearly losing your memory, Justin”

I'say before looking around the grand hall for my wife.

My kids were safe with Duke and Bunny, it's just Lacey I'm concerned about now.

"What are you talking about, Logan?”

Tlook back at Justin who looked genuinely confused by my words.

"Do you remember a few months back when me, you and our dads were playing poker at my dad's house?"

"Yeah"

“Well, if you remember that then you'll also remember that I asked you and your dad for your permission for me to marry Lacey and I even

showed you both the engagement ring I got for her"

Isay and his eyes widen in shock.

"Are you being serious, Logan? we thought you were joking"

“And why would you think that?"

Task annoyed.

“Because you're my best friend and Lacey's my sister"

sor

Task as I frustratedly shrugged my shoulders.

He was getting on my nerves and I wanted this stupid conversation to be over and done with before I did something I'd regret.

“So, you've never shown any interest in her, Logan, I've never once seen you show any affection towards her and as your best friend, I think

I'd know if you had feelings for her”

He says sounding exasperated and I rolled my eyes to god.

“You never knew, Justin because I kept my feelings for her a secret out of respect for our friendship and her relationship with Dylan but if I'd

have known back then the pain you all would've caused that poor girl, then I happily would've taken her away and protected her from you

all because she didn't deserve all of the bullshit you an...
