As soon as he left I continued checking out my new room. It was really beautiful. Never have I ever once imagined myself owning such a beautiful space. I ran towards the wardrobe to check it out. What I saw choked me. It was fully stocked with designer wears that could buy my step family's home.
I really appreciate the efforts he put in stocking my wardrobe even though to him it might feel like spending nothing. His bastardly rich! As I was still waddling in my glory a knock came on the door.
"Come in." The maid came in with paper bags filled with all kinds of toiletries, skin care products, make-up kits and lots more.
"Madam, the Mr. Logan asked me to hand you these. Also there's a dress in here for you. His throwing a small welcome party for you." I was surprised. A party for me? I love parties but I usually don't get invited.
"Really?"
"Yes ma'am." The maid kept things formal with me and I wasn't comfortable with it. We were probably age mates.
"Please could you do me a favor? Drop the formalities a little bit. I'm not comfortable with you calling me ma'am or Madam."
"I'm sorry for the inconveniences ma'am but if I do so I'll lose my job." She said bowing slightly.
"Alright. No problem but when we are alone just call me Layla okay?"
"Yes ma'am." I shot her a glare before she corrected herself.
"Yes Layla." I nodded smiling.
"Good so what's your name." She did look pretty and seems like a good person.
"My name is Rosie." She said smiling shyly.
"Rosie... What a pretty name. So when is this party starting? Today or tomorrow? And are there going to be any guests?" I asked. At least I should know and prepare myself. I hate certain surprises.
"The party is going to be held tonight. Mr. Logan didn't invite any guests. Only his men and the maids are going to attend."
I remembered Logan saying it wasn't yet time to reveal my identity so I guess this must be the reason he didn't invite external people so I won't get into danger when I haven't mastered my powers.
" Alright then. You can leave. I'll call you if I need anything." I used my hand to gesture her to exit my room. I needed time to rest.
" Okay." She replied walking out the door.
I jumped on my huge bed and started ransacking the paper bags. The skincare products were of high qualities. I have never used one but if I see something of high and good quality I'll definitely know. I arranged them on my dresser while I put some in the drawers. They were much. If I used them consistently it could last for 5 to 6 months.
I also checked the make-up kit. I wasn't really a fan of makeup. I was already beautiful, very beautiful so what was the need to use one. It was only a waste of resources. But I happily accepted them and arranged also in my drawers.
I had just finished setting up my toiletries in my washroom when another knock sounded on my door. I opened it to see a strikingly handsome demon in my front. I could never get tired of seeing this face I thought to myself.
"Can I come in?" He said. His voice bring me back to reality.
"Y-yeah, sure come in." I stuttered, stepping aside for him to enter. I shut the door behind him.
" Have you tried the dress. Is it to your liking? If it's not I can order a few more for you." Logan sat down on one of the sofas while looking at me.
" No, not yet. I was arranging the things the maid brought to me."
" Why didn't the maid do it. I don't want you stressing yourself over such things. What's the name of that maid, she needs to be fired right now. She neglected her job and had you arrange them. Why else did I employ them?" His voice boomed in my sitting room. Thean who was wearing a smiling just now looked like he was going to strangle someone if care is not taken.
"Calm down first. I asked her to leave. It's my fault not hers." I said trying to make him see things from my point of view. I didn't want him to sack Rosie because of me. He really gets angry easily.
"Is that so? If that's the case I have no problem with that. But I don't want you stressing yourself, remember your lessons will start soon so you better reserve your energy for what's important." Is this man serious? It's just to arrange my cosmetics that's all. He's sounding like I was made to carry bags of cement.
"Yes sir!" I said giving him a salute. It was a form of mockery.
"Are you mocking me?" He laughed. I wasn't expecting him to laugh but OMG his damn handsome when he laughs. I tried to refrain myself from touching his face. My face flushed red without my knowledge.
"Layla are you okay? Your face is brightly colored in red. Do you have an allergy?" He said standing up to touch my face. He looked really worried making him more handsome. As his hands touched my cheeks, a wave of electricity passed through my face. His body was so close to mine that I could feel the warmth emanating from him. As I looked as his face my face burned more and I could imagine myself kissing those sexy lips.
God damnit. I flinched back from his grasp and slapped my cheeks. Damn it why did i have such vulgar thoughts.
"Layla... Are you okay?" He said stepping forward as he snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Yes... Yes I'm totally alright." I said taking a few more steps back before hitting my back on the wall. Darn this stupid wall. I tried calming my thoughts cause this was getting embarrassing.

Logan's pov.
**********Flashback************
It's been 18 years now since my mate disappeared. Her name is Irene. She was supposed to be dead but her family saved her and sent her to the human world. At that time I didn't know she was my mate. It was 6 years later I found out. I went to her family's hideout and told them the situation at hand and demanded her whereabouts. But to my surprise they didn't know either. They just knew she was in the human realm. I felt frustrated and eager to hold my mate in my arms.
I had never had a mate, I thought it was a punishment from the supreme goddess. I had no idea why she would punish me but I had to accept my fate. I went around fucking any woman that came my way and tossed them aside. It went on for a long time but I suddenly got tired of women and began drowning myself in work. I had to work for my grandfather, the devil.
Sin city is my hometown in the underworld and my grandfather entrustede with different works. Amongst them is maintaining the peace between the different ranks of demons and overall ensuring peace between all the realms. So you see I had a lot of work to drown myself in.
A hundred years passed and my family were urging me to get married. They all knew I didn't have a mate so my grandfather made me marry a woman I had zero feelings for, Disha. She was beautiful, smart and gorgeous but I didn't for one day feel a thing for her. I didn't want to have children with her so I never had sex with her. Later on I did but I never came in her. She begged me on several nights to release my seeds in her but I just couldn't. We were married for long time before she died. She died during the Great war. There was rebellion amongst the different realms excluding the humans.
I wasn't able to protect Disha. I wasn't able to protect my wife. I felt pain, guilt and anguish. I never loved her but I couldn't help but have those feelings.
