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
“Get down on the floor?” Logan yelled at Mia.“Why? What is going on? What is with the gunshot?” She asked out of fear. “I will explain to you later, just listen to me right now!” he replied to her and another gunshot went off. Logan flipped the table over and asked her to join him behind the table.“Uh” she gasped in shock, there was a collection of guns behind the table.“What the heck is this? Why are there so many guns here?” Mia asked.Logan picked up a gun and filled it with bullets, “Mia, this is not the time to talk..I will explain to you later, let's have some conversation later.”Hebrought out his phone add dialed Sma’s number. “I was just about to call you sir. I am on my way to your home. The guards around the building said they think the attack is from Savini.”Sam was able to see what was going on around the mansion because the surveillance is linked to the base.“Savini? How did he find this place? Mia is with me!” He looked at her and he saw fear in her eyes. Then h
Mia didn't hear anything for a long while, which made her worried about what was going on outside. She looked around to check for doors that might lead her outside. There was no other door except for the main door.The door she came in through had no way out from inside, it can only be opened front the outsideUnfortunately, she didn't find anything, she was done with the work she was dining at the office but she was still not calm. She felt a slight in her stomach. She clutched onto her stomach and she settled in the bed, then she covered herself with the duvet.Just as she was about to close her, a loud explosion went off. That was the first thing she heard since Logan left her alone in the safe room. Her fear spiked up from about forty five percent to a hundred percent. What is her husband got hurt?She got down from the bed then she kept on looking for ways to leave again. A creaking came from the door , it opened and Logan went into the safe room.On seeing him, Mia threw
“Look, Mia I've been thinking of how to tell you but I never found the right timing to tell you about who I really am.” Logan was glad that he was fully dressed otherwise he would have been holding onto his towel around his waist so it wouldn't fall off while his wife’s gaze was trying to pierce through his head.“You never had the plans to tell me. You had a lot of time to tell me, I agree that we haven’t had a lot of conversations but how could you keep this away from me?”She seemed like she had tears in her eyes, Logan was so confused at the point, when he is around her, he is usually lost for words.“My life could be at risk, my family too and you have to say that you were looking for the perfect time to let me know about such an important detail about you, my husband.” Mia raised her voice at him.If she had not tried to confront him before going back to bed, she would not get any sleep.“What do you think my family members will do if they find out? Hug you and accept you? What
They were both quiet for a while then Mia spoke again, “You are free to do whatever you want to do, as long as it does not affect me or my family members.”Logan was a bit hurt by what she said. He had never exposed her to any danger except for what just happened. Well, maybe she had a point after all. He had scared her.the previous night for sure.The darn lord Nelson.” he squeezed his hand in anger. “I am sorry for what happened. I know that it is risky to have scared you. I will try my best to keep you safe.”“Please make sure you keep hiding your identity. My family member n must never find out that you are a gangster till we finish this refinery project.”Her request baffled him a bit, was she going to divorce him after she was done with the project?“Okay, if that is what you want,” he replied quietly with disappointment lacing his voice. “Do you want anything else?” he asked her, not expecting any answer.“Since you are gangster and you even had access to this place easily
“Good morning, ma’am.” Nella greeted Mia as she walked in.“Good morning, Nella, I believe the team is taking the day off.”“Yes, ma’am, they are also going on their trip tomorrow and expected to be back in a week.” “Okay. I am done with the briefing minutes from the meeting we had yesterday, I will send the draft to your email, please print it out and send it to the executives.“Git it, erm, I saw what you came in a car. I know you were not defying the chairman because you didn’t purchase that car but whose car is that?” Nella asked curiously.The exotic SUV seemed to have caused a huge commotion in the lobby in the morning amongst the members of staff. It was not a model she was familiar with. All thanks to her boss, she knew so much about cars.“Oh, that. It is for Logan.”“Your husband?” Nella whispered as if there was someone around them. Mia nodded in agreement.“I Just knew there was more to him being an ordinary person. Ma’am did you notice the coat he wore the day he came
“Fucking hell!” Mia cursed beneath her breath. “This had to happen when the executives took a day off.” “I Know this is an inside job, reporters are heavily fined if they trespass into a private company to publicize private affairs.” Nella sighed. She wished she had focused more on the people in the lobby the day Mike came. Her office phone started running, same as the ones in the executive team’s office. “I will disconnect the executive team lines, I am sure the reporters that contact us directly for news are trying to reach out.” “Okay, do that,” Mia remained calm, as she thought of what to do, just then her mom’s call came in. “Mia, I just saw the news, what have you been doing? Are you seeing another man besides your husband?” Mia sighed, ofcourse, her mom didn’t know that the man in the picture was her husband because he was wearing an expensive custom made coat and she didn't know that he is a gangster so Mia just went with the flow. “No, I am not seeing another person. It
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
