The Leinhart Villa had regained its usual calm, but the echoes of the attack still reverberated in Mia’s mind. The once serene home now felt fragile, like a house of cards teetering on the edge of collapse. Guards were stationed at every entry point, and the aftermath of the attack was being cleaned up. Yet, the silence in the air was almost suffocating, a stark contrast to the chaos that had unfolded just hours earlier.Mia sat in the drawing room, her hands resting on her lap as she stared blankly at the crackling fireplace. The flames danced, their warmth contrasting with the cold feeling of confusion and anger still gripping her. Logan had saved her and her grandfather, Lord Leinhart. There was no denying that. He had protected them with the precision and skill of a man who had been trained to fight off death, but even in the safety of the villa, her heart was still a battlefield. She heard footsteps approaching and turned to see Logan standing at the door, his posture hesita
The courtroom was tense. Caleb Sawyer sat at the defendant's table, his face betraying no emotion as the charges were read aloud. Attempted murder. Conspiracy. Involvement in organized crime. It was a long list, each one stacking the odds against him. Caleb’s lawyers, well-paid and calculating, listened attentively, but there was an undeniable sense that this case was slipping beyond their control. They could only do so much in the face of overwhelming evidence, and everyone knew it.Logan sat a few rows behind the prosecutor, his posture straight and his expression composed. He had been in courtrooms before,plenty of times, but this one felt different even Mike Nelson’s. It wasn’t just another mission or another criminal facing justice. This time, the stakes were personal. Caleb’s obsession and his absurd theorist for revenge with the Leinhart family when he had done them wrong intialitly, had driven him to extreme lengths, and Logan knew that if Caleb walked free, there would b
A few months had passed since Caleb’s conviction and the dust had finally begun to settle. Logan Frost had taken a much-needed work break, spending his time in quiet reflection after everything that had happened. Life had become less chaotic, and yet, despite the calm, there was still a lingering tension between him and Mia. He was giving her space, knowing that rebuilding their relationship would take time, but he couldn't shake the feeling that the gap between them was growing wider.Mia had buried herself in work with the Leinhart Group. She had recently completed a massive project, a new state-of-the-art oil refinery that would be the centerpiece of the company's future ventures. It was a remarkable achievement, one that had garnered her immense respect in the industry. Logan had always admired Mia’s dedication and work ethic, but watching her excel in the months since Caleb’s trial filled him with a mix of pride and sadness. Pride for the woman she had become, and sadness for
Sam made his way through the winding corridors of the secluded estate where Lydia was staying. The news of her giving birth had reached him just a few days earlier, and he knew that he needed to visit her, to show his support. He hadn’t been as present as he would have liked during her pregnancy, caught up in his own life and struggles, but now that the baby was here, he wanted to make amends.As he approached Lydia’s room, he felt a mix of emotions. Sam had always admired his younger sister’s strength, but seeing her become a mother added a new layer of respect. He knocked softly on the door and heard a faint “Come in” from inside.Pushing the door open, Sam stepped into the cozy room, where Lydia was seated in a rocking chair, cradling her newborn son. The soft light streaming through the window bathed her and the baby in a warm glow, and for a moment, Sam just stood there, taking in the scene.“Sam,” Lydia said, her face lighting up with a smile. “You came.”“I wouldn’t miss this
Melissa paced nervously around her lavish apartment, biting her nails as her mind raced. The arrest of both Mike and Caleb had left her shaken, but more than that, it had left her furious. For months, she had enjoyed the power and influence that came from her secret relationships with both men. Mike, with his illegal casinos, and Caleb, with his underworld connections, had made her feel invincible. She had enjoyed the thrill of secrecy, the illicit power she wielded by association, and the money that flowed freely into her accounts as a result of her relationships with them.Her involvement with them was a secret to her family. Now, with both men locked behind bars thanks to Logan’s interference, Melissa felt exposed. Vulnerable. The reality of their arrests began to sink in, and with it came the horrifying realization that everything she had worked for, every advantage she had gained, was crumbling right before her eyes.Her anger bubbled over. How could this have happened? How co
“It’s me, Logan. Your husband!” He held onto her hands and she yanked him off. “I don’t know you. Please leave the room.” She yelled back at him. She seemed like she was frightened and defensive. “Did she send you to come kill me again?”“She?” Logan asked, then the doctors rushed into the ward because her heart rate had alerted them in their offices.“Please wait outside while we re-examine her, sir.” One of the doctors said Logan went outside then he dialed a number on his phoneThe receiver picked up at once, “ hello sir.”“Yuki, are you ys the base right now?”“Yes sir, I was just about to call you. We have cracked the last video that has the reason why you lost your memory in it.”“Okay, please check every CCTV footage of the roads leading to the spot where my wife’s accident happened and check for every suspicious movement.”“I will gte on thta right now, so about the last vidoe.”“Please brief me about it later or give Sam the details. Thank you man.” then he hung up. The d
Mia’s parents arrived at the hospital shortly after Logan left, they went to her daughter's ward.A part of her mom, Maliya was yet to accept the fact that her son-in-law was so rich to afford a vip ward for her daughter. She could wrap her head around it. But she was glad to hear that her daughter was now awake.They had been coming in and out of the hospital to come and see her while her husband insisted on waiting with her all day long.As soon as they entered they saw Mia sitting on her bed anxiously like she was waiting for someone. She looked up in their direction, when she saw them, she quickly run into her mom’s hands. “Mom, you are here.” She cried as she hugged her mom tight.Mr Leinhart patted her head.“You are fine now.” He said to her, “Let sit down, you will be putting a lot of pressure on the sprain at the ankle.”There was a bandage on her leg, Mia had forgotten that there was a bandage there when she saw them. She was so excited that she finally saw familiar faces.
Sam had come to pick Logan up after Yuki told him that they found the person that caused the accident. “Is it not better to stay with Ms Mia at this moment sir?” Sam asked as Logan got into the car.“She doesn’t want me around her, she can’t remember who I am. I should find the bastard that did that to her first.” Logan gritted his teeth.“We will be at the scene in a few minutes and we will trace down the car from that spot with the coordinates Yuki gave us.”“Okay, did you tell Nella to go to the hospital?” Logan asked, he knew that if Mia’s memory was intact, well a part of it, she would want to find out what happened to her, Nella is the only person she can put to that task.“What if she doesn’t remember Nella, sir?” Sam asked out of concern for Nella. His girlfriend will be hurt if her only friend doesn't remember her.She had been having it tough when she wanted to sleep because she was too scared. The worst case was that she could not be with her because she had to handle Mia
