Before he could catch up with her, she had locked the door to the room behind her, just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard the sounds of the shower turn on then he retired to the sitting room.He thought of apologizing to her the next morning for crossing the line. It was too late for him to go back to the base and they had rounded up most things that needed to be done, so he decided to crash on the couch.He laid down and closed his eyes, in his little slumber he felt some soft fingers working their way on his tie. Fresh shampoo scent hit his nostrils and he immediately opened his eyes and held onto her hands.It was nothing that he had smelled before and all his senses were at alert, tightening his grip on the hands of whoever was working on his tie.“Hey.” Mia said in a light whisper, she wasn’t expecting him to wake up like that.He released her from his grip and she got up from the crouched position she was in. “I was hoping to invite you into the bedroom.” She said q
Mia sat at the edge of the bed while she got ready for work, Logan who was now fully dressed walked into the room. “Good morning.” he said to her, that was the first time he was speaking to her that morning. She had woken up before him to do some paperwork and he got up when she was taking a shower. “Good morning,” She replied while she was wearing her hair up. “Should I drive you to the office today?” Logan offered as he saw that she was running late. She had spent a lot of time working on her laptop. He watched her work for over two hours but he remained in bed watching her son so he would not distract her.Mia was getting worried for him, if he kept using his boss’s car for work, it might cost him his job. She would not want her driver using her own car for personal purposes. “Well, I think I need to stay back a bit. I still have more things to do on my laptop.” She lied.Logan thought she had finished earlier but she still had a lot more to do, he saw the reason why her grandfa
Mia walks into the office, and as soon as her assistant notices her presence then she joins her in the office. Mia had taken another route to the office because she came in late and she knew her executive teams would be working off the loads of work she swarmed them with.“Good morning ma'am.” her assistant greeted with a cup of coffee in her hand. “What do you want for breakfast today?” “Don’t worry about breakfast and lunch today.” Mia replied to her.“Do you have an appointment this morning? I didn’t think you were meeting people outside today.” her assistant opened her tab to check her boss’s working schedule for that. “There is no such thing, you are not supposed to work outside the office today.”She looked at Mia and saw that she was wearing an unusual facial expression.“I didn’t say I was working out, I had breakfast and I brought my own lunch.” She smiled at her little cute pink lunch pack that she left in her kitchenette. “My Husband made me some food.” She said, blushing
Unlike the other times that he had been to his in-laws' house the place was usually quiet. It seemed like almost everyone had left for work, only Lord Leinhart was left at home.The butler directed Logan to the study where Lord Leinhart was busy preparing for the meeting he had at the company’s HQ. “What brings you here?” Lord Leinhart asked. “I knew you were not capable of catching Savini. You are here to give up”He removed his glasses and looked Logan in the eyes. “Are you here to announce that you are giving up?”“I can’t give up when I am close to get him, lord Leinhart. I came to strike another deal with you.” logan said with full Aura.“A deal with me? You dare speak of striking a deal with me when you are a nobody.” Lord Leinhart.“A nobody?” he scoffed internally.“I will get straight to the point because there is not time to go back and forth, Lord Leinhart.” Logan meant business, this wasn’t even about protecting his identity or not.“Savini launched an attack on this Vill
Mia took one of the papers on the table, and her eyes almost popped out of her eye sockets.The paper she was holding and everyone else in the hand was the old draft that she had prepared for the meeting and it was not supposed to be in the meeting room.She had deleted the original draft and she didn’t hand over the hard copy to Nella to make copies of it.Bsides, she didn’t give her assistant any copies of the one she had prepared, she double checked before faxing the copy they would be using for the meeting to her.Her eyes met with her assistant, Nella who nodded immediately and she shut her eyes in horror, Mia knew she was in big trouble with her grandpa.“I am sorry.” She quickly nowed. “This is the wrong draft, I think my team must have mixed things up while making the copies. I am so sorry.”Lord Leinhart also grabbed a copy of the paper and took a look at it. His eyes met with Mia’s and they turned sour immediately.“Mis Mia,” Melissa started, “It hurt my feelings that you th
“I will have your official cars taken away from you till the construction of the refinery begins. . That should teach you that you should never disobey me!” Lord Leinhart said sternly.“Grandpa you can't do that to me!” She said. “|I am sure that I printed the actual things and I sent it to my team to do a mass printout. I didn’t ask any of them to do my job for me.”“I am sure Melissa has something to do with this. She came to my office earlier this morning and……”“You are going to blame her for this? I don’t expect that you shift the blame to her because of the immature feud that you have with her.” Lord Liemharts said. “Taking responsibility for your actions is more honorable for a business than anything else.”“But I didn’t really do it, grandpa.”“Then where is the proof that your cousin did this? Do you have anything to show me?”Mia went silent, she had no CCTV cameras in her office so she could not prove that Melissa was behind it but she definitely saw her smirking at he
A taxi stopped in front of the company while it rained, the driver who noticed Mia in front of the company yelled, “Hello young lady, you do not look so well, should I take you to the nearby clinic?”He had noticed that she was staggering and she often crouched or stood up straight for a short period of time so he assumed she wasn’t feeling well.“No, thanks. I am good, it is the rain, I just need to go home. Mia replied to the driver. “You may leave, my chauffeur will be here soon.” She was sincerely grateful that he had even stopped to offer her some help.“I wonder what sort of money young people chase these days, they work their butt off at their companies, working late and they won't get to the hospital when they are sick.” The driver uttered to himself before driving off.“I didn't know kind people like this excited,” She thought oot herself. “He is even willing to take me to the hospital but the hospital can’t do anything about my period.”“Getting caught under the rain while
Mia woke when she heard continuous movement from the kitchen. She had fallen asleep on the couch after she took a shower.Before she fell asleep, when Logan was bringing her home, she had complained of stomach pain to him.She didn't have the strength to get up and to check what was going on. Logan carried a cup of hot sugar and ginger for her. Then he tapped her softly, Mia, your drink is here!“What drink?” Mia asked as she opened her eyes and managed to sit up on her own..“It’s a little drink that will help the pain you said you were feeling in your stomach go down.” Logan said quality. She was crouching when they were in the car, groaning at several intervals then he asked what was wrong with her, she mentioned that she was feeling pains in her back and her stomach.When he noticed that she was on her period that was why he called his mom for assistance.He handed her the cup and she gulped the contents down at once. He sighed in relief when she didn’t spit out, it took him thi
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
