Chapter 100: Chapter 103

Hope lay with her head nestled in Logan’s lap, engrossed in the movie playing before them. Though not particularly fond of romance films, Logan indulged her, his attention focused on her rather than the screen.

Unexpectedly, his phone buzzed, drawing his gaze away. As he checked the notification, shock flickered across his face at the message Paul had sent. Roxana’s post about marrying Ryan flashed on the screen, prompting disbelief in him.

Swiftly, he replied to Paul, dismissing the news as false and urging him not to spread such rumors.

[Dude, | saw in your cousin sister’s social media. There’s a wild fire going on among her fans. You should check it once.]

Logan was absorbed in his phone when Hope noticed his distraction and sat up, inquiring, “What's going on?”

“Roxana just announced her marriage to Ryan,” Logan relayed the message to her while his tone tinged with astonishment.

Hope’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Seriously? But they’re just friends, aren’t they? Are you sure about this?” she asked, struggling to comprehend the news.

“Yeah, Paul said he saw the news on Roaxana’s social media;” Logan replied.

Asmile carved on Hope’s lips and she joined her hands together in happiness. “That’s so wonderful! They really hid their relationship from me. I’m going to scold Ryan,” she said with a complaining gesture.

“Hope, | don’t think they are in love with each other. They both have something going on. Didn’t Ryan tell you?” Logan asked.

“No. He doesn’t talk. Even two days ago, he didn’t seem to be going well with us. | mean, | did notice Roaxana and he were not talking with each other much. Do you know what's going on?” She opined after questioning him.

“Ryan’s mother died because of a decision that my grandpa took a long time ago. Ryan didn’t know about this and suddenly, his father revealed it to him. So, Ryan broke up his friendship with Roaxana. In fact, he doesn’t like the Moore Family anymore,”

Logan explained to her.

Aday ago, he talked with William about this on the phone and wanted to explain the same to Ryan, but he didn’t answer his call.

He felt Ryan didn’t wish to make amends with them.

“But it wasn’t Roaxana’s fault,” Hope asserted. “And why did Grandpa punish Ryan’s mom?” She was perplexed. In her eyes, William wasn’t a kind of person who would punish anyone for no apparent reason.

“Grandpa said she wanted to increase her werewolf strength for some reason, which is unknown to Dreame Ill AA <

However, Grandpa only punished her to limit her werewolf strength. Ryan’s mother ran away and while doing so, she died by tripping down the hill,” Logan thoroughly explained the matter to Hope.

She got upset to learn that. “Does Ryan not know about all this?” Hope inquired.

“He doesn’t want to know. | tried communicating with him, but there is no use of that. Ryan isn’t ready to listen,” Logan asserted.

“But Ryan needs to know that it wasn’t in anyone’s hands,” Hope murmured. “Should we talk to them? Let’s call Roaxana and ask her what is exactly going on between them,” she suggested to Logan.

“We should not intervene in their personal matter, Hope. | believe they both will end it amiably,” Logan advised her. He knew Roaxana had feelings for Ryan for a long time. Whatever going on. between those two must be solved by them in his opinion.

“But Roaxana announced the marriage suddenly. Don’t you think something is odd?” Hope murmured as she knitted her brows together.

“Definitely, it is odd. However, they need to solve it by themselves. Our involvement can affect their current relationship,” Logan affirmed.

Nodding in agreement, Hope conceded, recognizing the wisdom in Logan’s words.

Roaxana had arrived home with Isaac, who asked her why she announced her sudden marriage with Ryan.

“Because he has started to hate me,” Roaxana replied.

“| love you. You know this well. Just delete that post. I'll handle the rest of the matter. Just because Ryan has started to hate you doesn’t mean that you have to marry him,” Isaac said, his voice was laced with anger.

“Isaac, you don’t know how much Ryan has done for me while we both were friends. He got betrayed by his mate and then, suddenly a false information about his mother’s death was delivered to Ryan. I’m truly sorry for not able to like you back let alone love you,” Roaxana said as tears emerged in her eyes.

“| suppressed my feelings for a long time. | never let Ryan find out about them, especially after he found his mate. Just a month ago, when | found out she cheated on him, | decided to open up with him. | thought | would win his heart. Then, his dad destroyed everything. He destroyed his own son’s life by saying a lie to him/He will suffer and fell into darkness if | don’t marry him,” Roaxana expressed her frustration to Isaac before bursting into the tears.

Isaac pulled her into a hug and patted her back. “Alright. | understand you,” he said while consoling Dreame Ill M Installad =

her. He realized Roaxana’s feelings were deeper than he could understand. He decided to let go of his feelings for her happiness. “Do you think you'll turn everything right if you marry Ryan?”

6 Roaxana detached herself from the hug while wiping her tears from the back of her palms. “If | will stay by his side, he will be fine. | know this and I’m sorry for not accepting your feelings. | believe I’m not the right person for you,” she stated while sniffling.

“Hmm. | get it,” Isaac said and told her to go inside her house.

“Thanks, Isaac and I'm sorry for ruining your day as well,” Roaxana apologized in a sincere tone.

“Don't be,” Isaac said and gestured to her to go inside. Once she left his sight and entered the car, he rested his head on the head rest.

Kiara, who was on the backseat asked him if he was alright. She had sensed that he was in love with Roaxana. “Do you wish to have some drinks?” Kiara asked him.

“Drinks?” Isaac thought for a second before agreeing to her. “Sure. Let’s have some drinks,” he muttered. He started the car’s engine and drove it out of the Moore Estate.
