I wasn’t sure what kind of favor Logan was about to ask, so I stayed silent. He went on, “My parents can’t accept Selene at all, especially my mom. Could you say something nice about her to my mom?”

It felt like he was twisting a knife into me. Logan had to be doing this on purpose. If he wasn’t out of his mind, then he must have thought I was some kind of pushover who would actually agree to help him.

“Mr. Mercer, if you really want me to say something, I can tell you right now–it won’t be anything nice.” I wasn’t about to play the role of a saint.

“Elaine…”

“Logan, I’m not an angel. I can’t just be the bigger person here. Selene has nothing to do with me, so why should I say anything nice about her?” I shot back.

Then, Logan immediately asked, “Is it because you’re jealous?”

I laughed. “So, this is your way of testing if I’m jealous? Well, let me tell you–you’re going to be disappointed. Not only am I not jealous, but I’m also relieved. Relieved that I saw who you really are early on.”

Logan sighed heavily on the other end of the line. “Elaine, I only gave Selene a title. I owed her that much. But we really didn’t…”

I frowned and cut him off coldly. “Whatever happened between you and her has nothing to do with me.”
