“It is funny to run into here,” Melissa cackled as if she didn’t come to the gym around his house on purpose.Since she had met Caleb at his office. She put out some men to tail him so that they could find his address. Melissa was a meticulous and cunning person who will do anything to get what she wants.“Good morning, Leimhart, I believe that the gym in the Leinhart’s villa is comfortable and more equipped that the one here, it is really funny to run into you here.” Caleb answered her.He knew how Melissa was, she obviously came with a purpose, from the information he knew about the Leinhart, the children stay in the Villa till they get married for maximum protection. Even after marriage some of them still choose to remain in the villa. He knew she wasn;t living around there so if she lied about it, that means she came after him.He didn’t mind because he wanted to have a talk with her anyway.“I believe the Villa is so far away from this area, I wonder how you were able to come h
Mike arrived at the Nelson’s mansion, He was welcomed with a slap from his grandfather, “Where the hell have you been?”Lord Nelson was pissed, they had been going through crises and his grandson was absent throughput.“Don’t tell me you have been hanging out with the other Leinhart girl. What good is she going to do to us? Our family needed their funds and you wasted the time I gave you on that girl that didn’t add any value to our family.”“Time has not gone, I can still get Mia to myself and they will invest in his.” Mike said as he rubbed his face.Lord Nelson was about to hit him again when his personal guard held him back.“If you were not my blood, I would have asked someone here to gun you down and I won’t think about it twice. The Leinhart are fully supported by the top agent who used to have our back, what use do we have for now.” Lord Nelson yelled at him.Mike ran his hand through his hair. “Why would they leave us?”“We are even in bigger trouble, their agent is attackin
Days after Logan and Mia’s argument….“My wife forgot to take her food to work.” Logan walked in with a lunch pack.He had gone back to pick something up then he saw that Mia had forgotten her food at home. The driver he assigned to take her to work had confirmed that he had dropped her off at work.“I will finally get to eat your hand made food,” Sam squealed like a little girl as he attempted to take the food box from Logan.“What are you trying to do?” he smacked his hand away. “I need you to take it to her company.”“Sir, they serve top notch food at her company, I am sure she doesn’t need this.” Sam tried to convince him but Logan glared at him.“You are lucky that I do not want to take it to her because of the little fight that we had.” Logan said. “You should stand in for me in bad times like this, i will go through the pointers that you have left for me in the files and find the culprit for us.”“I don’t think that will be the only thing I want from you.” Sam said with a shee
“Who is that man?” Mia asked Nella while she unboxed her lunch pack. She inhaled the aroma of the food. “I can’t believe I almost missed this.”“He is probably your husband’s assistant. I never knew male assistant could look so hot. Since we started working together, Ms Mia, I don’t think I have come across such a handsome man, you know my fantasy about marrying a gangster's assistant has finally come to existence.”“What if he is just a courier boy? I don’t think gangsters have assistants so stop reading those fictions that I don't recommend.”“Courier boy? He called your husband his boss and that car belonged to him, and your husband gave it to him as a birthday gift. I wish my boss could give me a car for my birthday too .”“Your boss doesn’t have a car, how about you switch over to assist the gangster so you can get an exotic car?”“I really wish I could, ma’am but I don’t trust you with the people here .” Nella replied to her. “I think you should forget your food at home everyd
“I will have the boys to keep looking at home.” Sam replied to Logan. “Lord Nelson's son has been awfully quiet and that is making me feel uneasy as hell.” Logan complained again.“I thought we had moved past that, we have a man in there with Lord nelson, I will reach out to hilton to confirm what is going on.”“What about the man we put with Savini? Is he back?”"Yes sir, he doesn't know whenever Savini will be back in that location.”“That is the issue I have with Savini, it’s that he knows his ropes around situations like this.”“It feels like he moves as if he knows we are after him .”“He knows we are after him, he never heard about me before he came into the country and he saw my face at the Casino.”“Plus we blocked his access to go out or return to his own county and we have less than 10 days before Lord Leinhart returns home.”“Is it possible that we delay his flight by a day? Check with the airline he is flying with, I believe their family private jets are being used by
When Logan and Mia were left alone, “how was the food, I hope it wasn’t too cold when it got to you?” Logan asked.His question broke Mia inside, though she was the reason they fought and yet he cared about little things about her. He wasn’t pointing fingers at her or trying to pick her faults, he only wanted to know if she enjoyed her meal.He didn’t deserve the attitude he got from her the last time they spoke.“I am sorry,” her face fell and tears started coming out, while quiet sobs escaped from her lips.“What’s going on? Did you not enjoy the food?He asked her, then he raised her hand then he wiped her face.“It is not the food, the food was so good, I enjoyed it.” She managed to say between her sobs.“So what is the matter?” he asked quietly, it came out more like a whisper.“The question you asked me the other day, there is a reason why I can not answer.” She sniffed hard.“It is okay. I get, we have things we want to hide from other people, I understand if you don’t want to
“It is the last one of the week, why didn’t they wait till monday before they resumed work?” Mias asked while she finished typing on her laptop then she looked up.“The Head of managing director managed to secure the deal they went to bid for. It was a slim chance for them but they seemed to get it.”“That is a big win, what does that have to do with us? Is she trying to push the background work to us?”“Unfortunately , yes, she and the Vice chairman have gone to join the chairman where he is receiving treatment. His health is a bit laid back. The doctors said if they didn’t send him in, it could have been worse. It is not certain that he will be back next week.”That scared Mia a bit because she still wanted her grandfather to accept Logan as her husband. Aside from his job, he was a really good man, she was even sure that he could not hurt a fly, as usual she didn’t portray her emotions on her face.A prolonged trip was an advantage for Logan, that way he would be able to catch Savi
“Why did you come home?” Logan asked, as she glared at him, “I mean without warning, your shoot is not supposed to have ended yet.”“It has been one year since you spoke to me last and that’s all you have to say to me?” Lydia replied to him. He wore a pair of male shades in her face then draped his coat over her shoulders, he led her quietly into the car. “Good afternoon ma’am, it has been a while since I last saw you. You look radiant as ever.” Sam complimented her when she entered the car. “You only lost some weight and I am sure you will gain it back in some days.”“Logan, do you still keep guns in the car? I need to shoot Sam right now.He called me skinny.”“I didn’t say it like that.”“You see he is admitting it.” “Move.Let me get in. Do you think I will keep a gun where you can reach for it, knowing who you are? You may even kill us before we get home.”“Are you even my brother?” She scoffed, Sam and Logan cringed internally as they knew that there was going to be an endless
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
