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
She didn’t reply to him , she had realized that she wasn’t supposed to blurt that out. She knew her mistake but that didn’t make her less angry or change the fact that she came here with her mind made up that she would not consider his feelings or his injuries.Logan did not take any offense to what she said, so he wanted to explain to her, “We didn’t say much, we only spoke about Savini and our marriage.” his tone was quiet but Mia wasn’t having it.“That is all you spoke to him about?” She asked with a clear doubt on her face, she was not hiding the fact that she didn’t believe him. She knew that they could not have just said that.They had most likely gone in depth. It must mean that her grandfather knew that he was a gangster and all this while, he acted like Lord Leinhart was aware when she told him to keep it a secret.A part of her thought that maybe Lord Leinhart doesn’t know that he was a gangster but she could not trust her husband nor her grandfather. That old man would
After Mia took her leave, Logan changed into fresh clothes and went straight to his sister’s apartment. He wanted to clarify his thoughts before doing anything else. He had suspected that Lyida was hiding something from him and the next way to find out was to catch her right in the act. He knew how cunny she could be. He didn’t even call in his men to drive him there with his car and he knew to outsmart them and leave the hospital without them noticing him. When Sam was speaking to him about her, he purposely did not mention his suspicions so that he wouldn't jinx it or that won’t get leaked.He was aware that Sam and Lydia were close enough that he would be giving her some heads up. Sam was like their sibling, he is around Lydia’s age so they were like twins.When they bicker or share secrets.As the cab dropped him in front of the exotic houses that the Frost owned, he unlocked the door with his own keys. His sister was lying down on the couch, with sheets covering her properly
When Logan got home, he met his wife packing up to leave, it was like she waited for him to come home before she made her move,“Can you not do this, Mia? I don’t want things to pan out the way you are taking it.”He said softly but she just kept on packing her stuff, “Are you moving back into the Villa?”“It is none of your business Logan We are strictly following the contract now. My lawyers will contact you.” Mia had planned to deal with her family members through her own lawyers, even if Melissa crossed the line, she was going to sue her in court.She was tired of doing everything for everyone and they were still trying to play on her intelligence. She accepted her husband for he was but he couldn;t share things about himself.Her grandfather never took it easy on her whenever she made a mistake, he didn’t even allow her to have a normal life or time to heal from her mistakes.“I am sorry for not telling you about my sister but I had my reasons.”“Sure you did have your reasons
“So where are we heading to?” Logan asked her as they got into the car.“Er,” she looked at her phone to check for the address then she inputted it into the gps. “Just follow the directions.”Logan could tell from her voice that she was anxious, so he sent a code to Sam. It was a secret code between them so that he knows when to keep track of Logan’s moves.As soon as they got to the place. Melissa got down from the car, then she knocked on the window, Logan rolled down the glass, “You can go down. Thank you so much for bringing me.”Logan didn’t say a word and watched her as she walked away from him. He dialed Sam’s number. “Have you looked into the building? Caleb is in there. He asked Melissa to ome “Yes sir, the building is under Savini’s name. I think his men are in there, we are trying to find our way into their server.”“They are connected to the internet? What for?”“We just found our way in, they are trying to gain access to the security cams in the Leinhart Villa,. But we
“She told me not to tell you sir.” Sam said in a small voice. Logan felt so stupid seeing how Sam had played along all that while, “So were you aware that Alessandro was staying with her in one of our properties?”“Young Miss had him in her house?” Sam asked surprisingly, he was aware that Lydia was going to make things complicated and house Alessandro Wang in her house.Sam wished he had found out first, he would have been able to get him to leave before Logan found out.“What else are you hiding from me?” Logan asked quietly.“Nothing else, sir…. Holy shit!” Sam cursed aloud. “What is wrong?” Logan asked. “The operations we're running just crashed.”“How did that happen? Did Caleb manage to get us? That is impossible? Even Lord Nelson could not do that to us.” Logan said.“It is from the higher ups sir. They logged us out of the main database, we have lost connection to the satellite.” Sam said.“Shit! Those old me really have something to do with what is going on.”“That is no
“Why would they do that? it is not even fair!” Sam lamented bitterly as Logan removed his uniform.”Are you really going outside the country?” “I cannot afford to retire dishonorably.” Logan sighed, it was the wrongest time to leave the country because of Caleb SawyerHe might decide to strike the Leinharts and they will surely be in danger again. Not that he didn’t trust his men to do a good job but Caleb was no weak man that just anyone could take on.If Sam tried to go one on one with him, he would be at a big risk too.Sam understood that retiring dishonorably will just discredit all of Logan’s effect and that is exca;ty what the members of the panel wanted him to do. “Are you going to tell the family about this?” Sam asked, what he meant by family was Logan’s parents, his sister and Mia.“There is no need to tell him. It is just a month I will be spending, it won;t make much difference." Logan said.Deep down he was nervous about the trip because he intended on going solo and jo
A week after Logan left for his mission, Lydia barged into Sam’s studio apartment.“Why did you send the keys to the Mansion Through a courier service?” She asked. Sam who was sitting down and checking LoGan’s coordinates.“I should change my passcode, you can’t just barge in here anyhow, Ma’am. “ he grumbled, what if Nella was with him at that moment.“Answer my question First!” Lydia replied to him.“Young Master asked me to give it to you, Ma’am.” He said.“Why? He and his wife decided to move into a new place? He should have done that since and why did you decide to send it instead of bringing it yourself. I understand if he doesn’t want to face me because of the fight we had.”“I have been extremely busy and Young master is not on good terms with his wife.”“Are they getting a divorce already? Mom and Dad do not even have any idea about their union yet.”“They are not getting a divorce yet, Ms Mia just moved out of the house.”“Logan is back in his house?”Sam looked at her in t
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
