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
Mia was sitting on the edge of the when her parents came back to her room. “Mia, the chefs will be here with meals they cooked especially for you.” her mom said as she walked in. “I don't have an appetite to eat anything mom, I think you should take your leave now. I need some time to myself and please ask Nella to come.” “It doesn’t feel right that you are asking us to leave, baby.” Maliya pulled closer to her. “I would feel better if you guys just leave right away, I can’t bear seeing the two people that should have protected pretend like they care about me or my feeling,” “Oh fuck.” Maliya muttered beneath her breath, she realized that her daughter had overheard their conversation. “Mia, I can explain….” “Mom, please save it. I am not in the best mood to discuss this.” She laid down on the bed and wrapped the sheets over head. Her father felt the need to step in for the best for the situation, “Mia, we will be leaving now, we will come and see you when you wake up.” He pu
Nella arrived at the hospital, she saw Mia’s buried in her laptop, she could tell that she was reading the updates from the company’s meeting. “A part of me did not want to bring the laptop here when you were still unconscious because I knew you would get to work right after you woke up.” “Nella! I didn't see you come in” Mia looked excited, she was glad that she could recognize another person. “You look like you have lost a lot of weight.” Mia observed, “I could say the same for you.” Nella said then she hugged her. “Don’t scare all of us like this anymore. How could you sleep there for weeks without waking up?” She sobbed silently. “I am sorry for making you worry. I was just trying to catch a break from all the work I have been doing.” Nella pulled away from her, “This is not a joking matter.” She scolded Mia. The Chairman was surprisingly strong enough to not pass out but the vice chairman and the head of the managing director were not quite stable.” “They were fine when the
Logan and Sam stepped cautiously into the abandoned warehouse. The creaking of the rusty metal door echoed through the empty space, the dim light from the overcast sky casting long shadows on the concrete floor. Logan's face set in a grim line as his thoughts drifted back to Mia. The image of her not knowing who he was, haunted him. She didn’t deserve this. No one touched Mia and got away with it. “This is the place,” Sam whispered, his sharp blue eyes scanning the area for any signs of movement. His hand hovered over the gun holstered at his side, ready for action. Logan nodded silently, his jaw clenched. Yuki had tracked down the man responsible for the accident, and sent them the trail that had led them here, to this warehouse on the outskirts of town. The air was thick with dust and the stench of decay, adding an oppressive weight to the already tense atmosphere. The two men crept deeper into the warehouse, the silence broken only by the occasional clinking of metal and the
The man led Logan and Sam through a series of narrow backstreets, his every step hesitant, as if considering bolting at any moment. But he knew better, Logan’s cold stare and Sam’s watchful eyes made it clear that escape wasn’t an option. After several blocks, they finally arrived at a small, nondescript restaurant tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. Inside, patrons ate their meals in relative peace, unaware of the storm brewing outside. “There,” the man muttered, pointing toward a booth near the back. Carl sat casually, shoveling food into his mouth, oblivious to the danger closing in on him. He looked like any other diner unremarkable, scruffy, with a worn jacket draped over his shoulders. But Logan’s instincts told him otherwise. This was the man who had been facilitating a plot to kill Mia, the woman Logan would protect with his life. Without a word, Logan strode inside, his presence commanding attention. Sam stayed near the entrance, keeping an eye on the man who h
