Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 199

Logan considered it for a moment. "You're right. She's furious right now. Once she calms down, we'll ask her out. If I play the victim and sweet-talk her a little, she'll take me back."

Despite plotting their strategy, Logan didn't even get the chance to contact Sabrina before pure panic set in.

The very next morning, shortly after arriving at his office, an executive burst through the door. "Mr. Hale, the Sherwood Group just terminated every single contract with us."

Logan leaped out of his chair, absolutely horrified. "What did you just say? Terminated all contracts?!"

Two-thirds of the Hale family's business came directly from the Sherwood Group, and they were by far the most lucrative projects on the ledger. If all those partnerships were severed, the Hale family's corporation would be annihilated.

"Yes, Mr. Hale. Even the multi-million dollar contract we were scheduled to sign today—the assistant to the Sherwood CEO called this morning to officially withdraw the offer."

Logan weakly waved a hand, dismissing the executive.

He collapsed heavily into his leather chair.

This was entirely Sabrina's doing. This was her scorched-earth revenge.

She was genuinely out for blood!

If he had known it would come to this, he never would have listened to that bitch Ashley's toxic advice. Sabrina had trusted him implicitly. If he hadn't been so insanely eager to blackmail and control her, she never would have retaliated like this.

Why couldn't he just be patient?!

His absolute top priority right now was winning Sabrina back. Only by making her change her mind could he re-secure the Sherwood family's resources.

Otherwise, his company was totally doomed!

Forcing himself to breathe, he dialed Sabrina's number.

Seeing his caller ID, Sabrina rejected the call and instantly blocked his number. While she was at it, she blocked Ashley's number too.

"No! I refuse to accept that! You're the only one I've ever loved. I'll die if we break up!"

"Oh really? You love me so much you were sleeping with Ashley behind my back? You love me so much you personally drugged my drink and hired goons to kidnap me?!"

How the hell did she know about the drugs? She hadn't breathed a word about it the other night! How did she find out?!

But right now, how she found out didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was scrubbing his own hands clean, or she would never forgive him.

Logan immediately launched into a frantic defense. "Sabrina, it's not what you think! You have to listen to me! Ashley was the one who came onto me! She was the one who handed me those pills!

And those thugs? She hired them! I had absolutely nothing to do with any of it! You have to believe me!"

Sabrina stared at the ground for two agonizing seconds before slowly meeting his eyes. "Are you telling the truth?"

Logan raised his right hand, looking her dead in the eye. "It's the absolute truth! I swear it. Sabrina, my feelings for you are completely genuine. You have to trust me."
