As Logan walked quietly behind the butler, he wasn’t scared or afraid. He went there with the intention of having a conversation with Lord Leinhart.The butler opened the door for Lord Leinhart to go in. Lord Leinhart faced the butler. “Wait for us here.”“Yes, my lord.” The butler remained outside and shut the door after Logan went in.Logan bowed lowly before Lord Leinhart, it had been a while since he last bowed before anyone. Many rich people and their families were always at his beck and call but he was paying respect to Lord Leimhart because he was his wife’s grandfather. “Who are you?” Lord Leinhart said in a stern voice. “You may fool anyone including my granddaughter but you can’t fool me.”Logan thought of what to say, he knew that if he exposed himself as the president of starfall group, it could make Lord Leinhart discredit Mia’s effort in getting the contract. Also he could not tell him that he was a secret agent.It would be a ridiculous thing to say and he doubted that
“That was faster than I thought, I knew he wasn’t going to leave after all. How did you guys figure out his base?” Logan asked.“He got hit by your bullet, so they brought in a private doctor for him, the boys followed the doctor down to his base.” Sam continued.“Hmm, Are you sure that is his actual base or his passing time there? Remember Savini is a smart sneaky ass bastard, That might just be one of his plans to distract anyone who is watching him, my bullet did not hit him or his men.” Logan said.“But….” Sam was about to say another word but Logan spoke.“I used the guns we use for practice, just rubber bullets that have no effect.”Sam chuckled after hearing what his boss said.“Did you just laugh? I wonder who didn’t put my actual gun in my pouch?”“I am sorry sir.”“Keep your eyes on him. Hie is using the doctors to find out how many people are after him,” Logan stroked his chin “One more thing if any case I am not home, the mail man will bring in contract for me, drop it in
Mia stood before her grandfather in her his study, he had asked his butler to summon her into his study after she and her parents had settled in. “Good evening Grandpa.'' Mia bowed slightly. She was wondering why he had asked her to come to his study that time. He never does that unless it was something important.Like if he had an emergency situation he wants her to attend to.“Thank you for letting us back in.” She said sincerely even when she was still curious as to why he had asked them to come back home after speaking to Logan. “Where are you still at home?” Lord Leinhart asked. That question caught Mia off guard. What did he mean by why was she at home when he asked her to clearly come back home with her parents.“What do you mean Grandpa? You asked us to return home.” She said with fear in her voice. She didn’t know what he was going to say. Though he had given them access to all their stuff, she wasn’t sure of anything at that point.“In the history of the Leinharts, no
Mia sat in her room and palmed her face. Trying to withhold her eyes, she grabbed her phone from her bedstead then she sent a text to her husband. “Can you come pick me up from the Villa?” “What’s going on? Did something happen?” Logan replied almost immediately. He was in the middle of planning his next move on Savini. He was in his hideout, which was close to one of his family buildings. “I will let you know the details when I come. Please rent a car that can take my boxes, I don't have the strength to drive my car tonight.” Since he still had a lot to do in his hideout, he decided to have Mia stay in the family building that was near instead of taking her to his own place. “Are your parents coming too?” “No.” She dropped her phone on the bed and brought out three suitcases, she packed all her important files that she was working on, her clothes, her makeup and shoes then she went to the mini lounge where her parents were staying. “Where are you heading to this night with th
“We don’t have to stay at someone else's place.” Mia quickly said before he could leave the car. “I am very much okay if I stay at your own place.”She didn’t want him to go out of his way to satisfy her just because she was from a high end family.“There is no problem if we stay here, it is even nearer to your place of work.” he assured her. “It mayne to have bodyguards like the Villa but it is pretty much safe.”He wasn't going to scare her or alert her but saying a lot of his men are actually guarding the place. He had placed tight security around Mia ever since the morning that he had woken up next to her.“It is okay if your own place is farther from my workplace, I can always ask someone to send my cars over so commuting will be easy.”“I didn’t know this place wouldn't be good enough to your liking,” Logan sounded disappointed. “I only decided that we should stay here for the time being because I have a task to complete around here.”On hearing that he had a task to complete,
The LH Group“Miss Leinhart hasn’t been to work in a long time, who else finds it weird that the workaholic of the LH group is absent ?” One of the members of the staff at the HQ of the LH group spoke.Mia’s absence at work had caused a stir in the office, though they had no major delays in their ongoing works but the office was quiet and peaceful. It is usually a bustling place where everyone always has something to do. If their boss, Mia wasn’t yelling at them for a mishandled project, she was piling up future tasks before them.“I was also going to say something about it. Even when she is sick, she never fails to come to work and roll out duties to us and work like a dogg. Isn’t that why you guys named heer evil witch?”“If she had not done that, how will you be able to have free weeks to rest. Most of you were free all this while because she had made you guys do six months work ahead. You should be concerned about why she is not here.”“That is true, no one has said anything abou
“Mike Nelson?” The members of the team started whispering amongst themselves again. “Isn’t that who she was supposed to marry? Did they really cancel their marriage? I thought it was just a rumor so it might be true. IS she really pregnant? I see no bump though?”“Miss Mia is pregnant, I think that is why she is leaving right after this project. That is the only sensible reason why she would be leaving.”“She might not be pregnant, she doesn’t even look like it. She has been working for a long time, I think she is just taking a break.” Another staff member suggested.“Her baby bump might not be obvious, that doesn’t mean she is not pregnant. Why would she need a break when her family owns the company?”“True!”“You guys don’t know the meaning of a break? She probably needs a break from all the chaos here.”Mia dropped the pen she was holding. “Why is he here?”Her assistant spoke again, “Someone from the team rejected his proposal to work with us.”“Who rejected the application?” Mi
Mia got downstairs and she saw Mike struggling with the security men. She nodded her head and was thankful that he didn't show up on the day that her father or grandfather usually visits the head office.“Let me in. Do you know who I am? I can crush you all with just a phone call!''Mike yelled. “How dare you stop me!!!”“Please stay calm sir. You do not have a pass to get into the moan building nor do you have an appointment here. We can’t allow you in sir.” The head of security said to Mike. “We prioritize keeping the company safe no matter who you are.”The company was making use of a safe measure of security to keep the vicinity safe, that was why they do not allow people im just anyhow. They had identified him in the back as a member of the Nelson’s family.That didn’t change their stance at all. They were not going to let him intimidate them that easily. Besides, the CEO’s assistant had emphasized that no one without appointment should be allowed into the building.“Just wait ti
It had been months since Logan and Mia had time to truly relax. Logan’s responsibilities at his family’s company had multiplied as he guided it toward new heights, while Mia was immersed in her work with the non-profit organization and preparing for medical school. Despite their busy lives, they made sure to spend precious moments together, late-night dinners, quiet walks, and shared laughter, but those moments felt all too fleeting.Logan’s parents, Charles and Evelyn, noticed the strain on both their son and his wife. They’d come to adore Mia, who had blended seamlessly into the family with her warmth, strength, and kindness. Even Mia’s parents and grandfather saw the need for Logan and Mia to recharge. That’s when the idea sparked between the two families during a casual afternoon tea: a surprise trip for Logan and Mia, a retreat where they could unwind, reconnect, and indulge in some long-overdue relaxation.Working together, the parents crafted the perfect plan. They chose a ch
As Yuki took his first steps away from the agency, a whirlwind of mixed emotions swept over him. Years of dedication and relentless training had defined his life, shaping him into one of the agency's most skilled operatives. However, after everything that had happened, especially the danger his close friends and allies faced, he realized he wanted a life beyond the shadows. The long nights spent looking over his shoulder, the constant need for vigilance, and the weight of secrets had finally pushed him to seek a new beginning.Logan, understanding Yuki’s silent turmoil, didn’t hesitate to support his decision. On Yuki’s last day at the agency, Logan met him for a quiet lunch at their favorite little bistro downtown. The two men sat across from each other, each one keenly aware of the new phase ahead. Logan, now fully entrenched in leading his family’s company, and Yuki, ready to step into a world he barely recognized but deeply craved. As their plates were cleared, Logan handed Yuki
The atmosphere in the grand Leinhart mansion had shifted, a quiet tension settling into every corner as Lord Leinhart’s health waned. He had been the pillar of their family, guiding them through turbulent times with a firm yet caring hand. Now, his movements were slower, and his powerful voice often softened with an underlying fatigue that didn’t go unnoticed by those closest to him. His children and grandchildren had tried to pretend everything was as it had always been, but they couldn’t ignore the lingering fear that he might be preparing to say his final goodbyes.One afternoon, Lord Leinhart summoned his family to the study. It was a room filled with memories of past achievements, marked by framed accolades and family portraits hanging on the walls. The room was intimate yet regal, his presence radiating an authority that had commanded respect for decades. As family members trickled in, the atmosphere grew tense. Mia, Melissa, and other key family members waited, each wondering
Logan’s transition from the agency to the corporate world wasn’t without challenges. His father, Charles Frost, had always emphasized the importance of leadership and responsibility, and after the recent turbulence with the agency and the betrayal he’d faced, he finally understood the value of the stable legacy his father had worked so hard to build. Reluctantly at first, Logan accepted his father’s insistence to take the reins as the permanent president of the family company, but soon he was pouring his energy and determination into every project, every strategy, and every partnership. Charles had seen in Logan a vision that was ambitious and future-driven, and he wanted that vigor to push their company into new frontiers. Logan took on the challenge with both respect for the legacy his father had created and a passion for redefining what they could achieve. Within months, Logan’s influence was apparent. He fostered partnerships with promising startups, invested in sustainable ene
Alexander Wang had been planning this moment for weeks, every detail mapped out with an intensity that reflected the depth of his feelings. It wasn’t just about the proposal, it was about redemption, healing, and a fresh start. He knew what Lydia, known in the spotlight as Suzy Vert, had been through. She had stood in the face of his family’s skepticism, with no shortage of harsh words or hurtful judgments. Despite it all, she’d never faltered, showing grace and strength that had ultimately won over Alexander’s heart even more than before.That evening, he led her to a quiet, lantern-lit pavilion on the family’s expansive estate. This wasn’t just any garden; it was the same place where she’d been met with icy receptions and side-eyed glances. He had chosen it deliberately. The blossoms were in full bloom, and the warm scent of jasmine floated in the air, adding a touch of magic to the setting. Lydia held her baby, bundled in soft blankets, as they walked. She had no idea what Alexa
Sam had always harbored the desire to leave his position as an agent, yearning for a life beyond the shadows and endless fieldwork. The agency’s lifestyle had worn on him, filling him with scars both physical and emotional. So when he handed in his resignation, he felt an unexpected mix of relief and anticipation, as if he were finally stepping into the life he had been waiting for. Logan had been supportive, congratulating him with a genuine smile and a handshake that held unspoken gratitude. After everything they’d been through, Logan knew how much Sam deserved this next chapter.Not long after, Sam was contacted by Logan’s father, Chairman Frost, with an opportunity he couldn’t refuse. Chairman Frost had taken notice of Sam’s loyalty, and he was impressed by the integrity Sam had shown throughout his years as an agent. Besides, he was like his own son now.As a reward, Chairman Frost extended an offer that aligned perfectly with Sam’s aspirations, a position as president of on
Melissa had never imagined her life would come to this moment, a second chance. As she stepped out of jail, the sky looked a little brighter, the air felt fresher, and for the first time, she felt the weight of her choices lift, just a little. A special pardon had been granted, and rather than relief, a wave of determination washed over her. She couldn’t erase the mistakes she’d made, but she could make sure her future was different. This was her opportunity to rewrite the narrative, and she wasn’t going to squander it.One of the conditions of her pardon was to complete a rehabilitation program. At first, the idea of “rehabilitation” sounded restrictive, but the time in therapy opened her eyes in ways she hadn’t anticipated. She spent hours unpacking her resentments, her jealousy toward Mia, her need to prove herself, and the misguided sense of entitlement that had led her down a dark path. Bit by bit, she began to peel away layers of bitterness, acknowledging the pain and insecu
Charles Frost sat alone in his study, the dim light casting long shadows across the room. The weight of the secrets he carried weighed heavily on him, pressing down with each beat of his heart. His son, Logan, had no idea of the extent to which Charles had been aware of the memory loss conspiracy or the threats that came with it. Charles had watched quietly from the sidelines, keeping close tabs on the unfolding events, hoping that his silence was enough to keep his family safe. Though Logan had confronted the members of the panel and brought charges against them, Charles knew that the details went deeper than his son might have suspected. From the first time he’d heard whispers of a “memory-altering operation,” Charles had taken quiet but decisive action. He didn’t involve his wife, fearing the panic and worry it would stir. She cherished Logan, and the mere thought of such betrayal from those within their circle would devastate her. Charles was also relieved that Logan hadn’t
[These last ten chapters will cover how everyone moved on and a little bit of backstory]Mia closed the door to her office, pausing to take one last look around. After years of leading the LH Group, the spacious corner office, once filled with the bustling energy of meetings, conference calls, and late-night strategy sessions, felt strangely silent. She had always thought she’d grow old here, carrying on her family’s legacy. But somewhere along the way, the responsibilities, the corporate dealings, and the constant pressure had worn her down. Stepping back from her CEO position was a decision she hadn’t made lightly, but she knew in her heart it was the right one.The past few months have been transformative. Her near-death experience and the fallout with Melissa had led her to reassess her life and her priorities. She wanted a new purpose, one rooted not in corporate power, but in making a genuine difference. That’s what drew her to the idea of joining a non-profit organization fo
