Mia and Logan sat in the back of the taxi as it weaved through the busy streets toward the airport. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the city, but neither of them paid much attention to the view. Mia was deep in thought, her fingers tapping absently against the worn leather seat, while Logan’s eyes scanned the passing scenery with the instinctual alertness of someone who had seen too much of the world’s dangers.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Mia asked, breaking the silence.Logan glanced at her, offering a small smile. “It’ll be fine, Mia. We’re just here to welcome your parents and Lord Leinhart. What could go wrong?”Mia sighed, leaning her head back against the seat. “It’s just... you know how Melissa gets. She’s going to make a big deal out of us arriving in a taxi.”Logan’s smile widened, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Let her. It’s not the car that matters. Besides, I’m used to her insults by now.”Mia couldn’t help but smile back, though her worry linge
Mia sat in the cold, sterile hospital corridor, her hands trembling as she stared at the floor. The doctors had just finished their examination of Logan, and now they were standing in front of her, their faces grave. The air was thick with tension, and the steady beeping of the machines monitoring Logan’s condition felt like a countdown to some inevitable, terrible conclusion.“Ms Mia,” Dr. Harris began, his voice soft but firm, “we need to talk about Mr Logan’s condition.”Mia lifted her head, her heart pounding in her chest. “What’s wrong? Why isn’t he waking up?”Dr. Harris exchanged a glance with his colleague, Dr. Patel, before continuing. “Logan’s body is incredibly weak. The bullet wound is serious, but that’s not the only problem. It seems that he’s never fully healed from previous injuries, severe ones, at that.”Mia felt a chill run down her spine. “Previous injuries? What do you mean?”Dr. Patel stepped forward, his expression sympathetic. “We found evidence of multiple ol
Mia sat in her office, her thoughts swirling like a storm. The events at the hospital had left her shaken, her heart weighed down by confusion and doubt. She had replayed the scene over and over in her mind, Lydia, or rather Suzy Vert, standing by Logan's side, her voice soft as she whispered the news of her pregnancy. Mia couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more to the story, something she was missing.She knew she needed to talk to someone, to get it all out before her thoughts consumed her. Nella, her trusted assistant and confidant , was the first person who came to mind. Mia trusted her implicitly and knew she could rely on her discretion. Picking up her phone, she dialed Nella's number."Nella, could you come to my office, please? I need to talk to you," Mia said, trying to keep the tremor out of her voice."Of course, Mia. I'll be right there," Nella replied, her tone concerned.A few minutes later, Nella walked into the office, her usual bright smile replaced
The night was thick with silence as Caleb approached the hospital, his steps slow and deliberate. He had been waiting for this moment, planning each detail with meticulous care.Logan, the man who had disrupted his plans, was now lying vulnerable in a hospital bed, and Caleb knew this was his opportunity to eliminate the threat once and for all.The information had come to him through Melissa, who had unwittingly provided the details of Logan’s condition and his location. Caleb had always known that Melissa was attracted to him, and he had exploited that to his advantage. It hadn't been difficult to coax the necessary information from her, even if she didn’t realize the true extent of his intentions.Now, as Caleb slipped through the hospital's dimly lit corridors, he felt a cold determination settle over him. There was no turning back. Logan had become too much of a liability, especially now that Lord Leinhart had shown a sudden fondness for him. If Caleb didn’t act now, the power
“Young Master.” Sam yelled as he walked into the hospital room. “You are awake!”Logan glared at him, Sam acted as if they didn’t speak off the phone.He hugged Logan but his boss was quick to push him away, “Only my wife gets to hug me.”“That hurts my feelings, given that you made me come here in the middle of the night. You are lucky that Nella did not sleep over tonight. Do you think I would have picked your call?”“I think I should take Hannah’s advice to change my assistant afterall.” Logan said, jealous that his Sam doesn't prioritize him anymore but he is happy that he finally found love.He was aware that his assistant had always wanted to be in a relationship, their first experience was just something that held them back.“Before you take Ms Hannah’s advice, I think you still need me before I resign.” Sam joked back. “I don’t need you Mr Sam.” Logan said, looking away from his direction. I would love to joke back sir but we do not have time on our side.”“What do you mean?”
“My wife knows that Lydia is my sister? How?” Logan panicked internally but his voice was rather firm on the outside. He didn’t even realize that he had voiced that out. “They met here at the hospital. At first she thought Ms Lydia was carrying your baby because she had confessed that she was pregnant while you were in coma.” Sam said. “That little brat!” Logan was so pissed, he was just in a coma for a few days and he had woken up to so much. His little sister being pregnant which he didn't know if his parents were aware or not. The thought of it made him curious about what she had really been doing on set when she claimed that she was filming. He knew that he had not really been paying so much attention to her since he had been dealing with his own life. “We should have told Ms Lydia about our plan from the start and manage to convince her to keep things secret from us” Logan massaged his temple. If he had to explain that he has a sister and she was the nation’s biggest and mos
Lord Leinhart walked in as Sam left the ward. Logan sat up as he walked in, “Good morning Lord Leinhart.” he bowed.“You should not be bowing in that state. Your injury will rip open again.” Lord Leinhart said in a stern voice.“I am sorry sir.” Logan sat still, with his gaze fixed on Lord Leimhart.“I should have known from the first day you looked at me like the way you are doing now that you are a fearless man.” Lord Leinhart shut his eyes and the image of how Logan took a bullet for him popped in his head.“So reckless.” When he opened his eyes, Logan was already standing in front of him with a cup of water. “Do you need some water, sir?” Logan asked, he didn’t know why he had offered him some water but that was what his instincts asked him to do anyway.“What are you doing?’ Lord Leinhart asked,“When did you get down from the bed?”Logan was surprised to see that the old unaffectionate man might really be concerned about why he was standing up. ‘I just thought that you may be
Mia got a call from the hospital while she was still in bed, that her grandfather was heading to her husband's ward. She had paid a nurse to inform her who moves inside and outside her husband’s hospital room. She didn’t even alert the driver and guards assigned to her, she just grabbed any car key she saw and zoomed off to the hospital.When she arrived at the door, she was surprised to see so many guards in front of the room, the men parted ways for her to pass till she got to where the butler was.“Ms Leinhart.” the butler faced her, “Good morning, I didn’t expect that you'd be here this early.”“I didn’t expect that grandpa would be here this morning too. What is with the men? Since when did grandpa start having these people around?”She knew her grandfather would not just hire bodyguards unless it was a special business deal, that was another reason why he wanted her to marry from the Nelson’s family. Another part of her reasoned that he might ask her to not put the total
