been there first with Alicia any better than he’d ever liked Logan telling him what to do or think.
“Every time I took her anywhere, people envied me,” Logan said.
Jake frowned. “Well, she’s married to me now.”
“True. And how did that happen so fast? Last time we talked, you said she didn’t want to date anybody. Then my CEO and you went to the feds and Butler really crashed in flames.”
If he’d felt closer to Logan, maybe he would have told him about the pregnancy and explained the sense of responsibility he felt toward Alicia. But for a lot of years Jake had kept Logan in the dark about his life. So, for now, Jake wanted to keep it that way.
“Look, I’m sorry I didn’t invite you to the wedding. If it makes you feel any better, we didn’t invite anyone. Well … except for my secretary, who brought her son … but only because we needed a witnesses. Frankly, Alicia and I wanted to keep our marriage quiet as long as possible. Not easy when satellite trucks and photographers are camped on our doorstep.”
“Well, the papers and Internet are full of it this morning.”
“They’re all damning me as a crook the equal of Butler—so you see why I wanted to keep things quiet.”
