Sam entered Logan’s office quietly, his face grim as he delivered the update Logan had been waiting for. Logan looked up from his desk, his eyes locking onto Sam.“Sir,” Sam said, standing straight with a hint of hesitation in his voice. “I just got word. Both Lord Leinhart and Mr. Leinhart have started moving. They’re each running their own separate investigations.”Logan’s gaze darkened, a sharp edge slicing through his calm exterior. “Separate investigations?” he repeated slowly, his tone flat but loaded with meaning.“Yes,” Sam confirmed, nodding. “Mr Leinhart is working within his corporate network, talking to people inside the LH Group. Meanwhile, Lord, Leinhart’s using his outside connections, probably from his more… criminal contacts. It’s chaotic, and they’re not exactly on the same page.”Logan’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing as he processed the information. “Idiots,” he muttered under his breath. “They’re going to blow this whole thing up if they’re not careful.”He sto
Yuki’s fingers flew across the keyboard, his eyes locked on the series of codes flashing on his screen. He had been at it for hours, digging deeper into the signal trail from the burner phone. After hitting several dead ends, he finally found a faint trace of a series of encrypted pings leading back to a location he hadn’t expected, the Leinhart Villa. He leaned back in his chair, shocked, his mind racing. It couldn’t be a coincidence that the signal came from the same place where Mia’s family lived. Someone was using their network, and it wasn’t an outsider. It only meant that the person was using a system built up by the Nelsons in the Leinharts Villa. That’s a family clash because everyone was aware of what Mike did to Mia. Picking up his phone, Yuki quickly dialed Logan. “Sir,” Yuki said, his voice tense, “I’ve found something.” Logan was already standing by the window in his office, staring out into the night. He didn’t like being away from Mia’s side, but he knew the
Melissa stepped out of her sleek black car, her heart pounding as she approached the entrance to the prison. She pulled her sunglasses off, slipping them into her designer handbag, a perfect contrast to the grim environment she was walking into. Her heels clicked sharply against the concrete as she made her way to the visitor check-in. She had spent the past few days dodging her family members, trying to avoid being asked too many questions. She knew that Logan had started to suspect something, but she had no idea how close he was to uncovering the truth. The truth that she had caused Mia’s accident.After passing through security, Melissa was led down a narrow hallway to the visitor’s room. Her palms were slick with nervous sweat as she sat at one of the small tables, waiting for Mike Nelson. It had been weeks since she’d last seen him, but he was the only one who could reassure her that their plan was still intact. When Mike finally appeared, escorted by two guards, his appearanc
Logan stood just outside Mia’s hospital room, his heart pounding in his chest as he prepared himself for another meeting with his wife. It had been weeks since her accident, and she was finally being discharged today. While her physical recovery had been impressive, the emotional distance between them lingered. Mia still couldn’t remember much about their relationship, and Logan’s every move felt uncertain, like he was walking on eggshells around her.He took a deep breath and knocked gently on the door before stepping inside. Mia was seated on the bed, her legs dangling off the edge as Nella helped her pack the last of her things. The moment she saw him, her expression brightened, though there was still a sign of unfamiliarity in her eyes, a painful reminder of her lost memories."Logan," she said softly, the name rolling off her tongue with a hint of hesitation. It stung, but he hid his discomfort behind a gentle smile."Ready to go home?" he asked, keeping his voice calm and stea
Melissa had been lounging in the grand living room of the Leinhart villa, flipping through a magazine when she heard the front door open. Her heart skipped a beat when she glanced up and saw Mia walking in with Logan by her side.For a brief moment, disbelief clouded her face. Mia was home? She hadn’t expected her cousin to be discharged so soon, not after the severity of the accident. This was definitely not part of the plan. Quickly regaining her composure, Melissa straightened up on the sofa, her fingers gripping the armrest a bit too tightly. tension crossed her features, but she quickly forced a pleasant expression, though inside her thoughts raced wildly. Mia wasn’t supposed to be back. It had been convenient while Mia was away no prying eyes, no questions about her behavior. But now Mia was here, and Melissa had to adjust her strategy."Welcome back, Mia," Melissa said, her tone unusually sweet and devoid of the usual sarcasm she often reserved for her cousin.Mia looked over
Logan sat at his desk, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the polished wood as he stared at the array of papers and digital files in front of him. His mind was working overtime, trying to piece together who in the Leinhart family could be behind Mia’s accident. Yuki had already traced the signals to the Leinhart villa, and while Logan had been given permission to search the house, nothing concrete had turned up yet. Still, his gut told him someone in the family was involved, it was just a matter of figuring out who.Leaning back in his chair, Logan let out a sigh. The Leinharts were a large, complicated family with their fair share of secrets, and trying to narrow down which of them had caused the attack on Mia was proving to be a hard task. Lord Leinhart had been insulted by the mere suggestion that someone in his family could be responsible, but Maliya, Mia’s mother, had insisted on Logan pursuing every lead, no matter how uncomfortable it made the family. And that was exact
Logan arrived at the Leinhart villa that evening, the weight of his discovery pressing heavily on his mind, as he parked his car and made his way toward the entrance. He had already played out the confrontation in his head a dozen times, but he knew no amount of preparation could predict how Melissa would react. She had always been sly, but tonight he was going to corner her with the truth.As he stepped inside, he was greeted by one of the house staff, who led him to the living room where Melissa was seated, casually sipping tea. She looked up at Logan as he entered, her eyes narrowing slightly, but she kept her composure."Logan," she greeted him coolly. "To what do I owe the pleasure? Mia's not here, so if you're looking for her, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until she returns from her walk with Nella."Logan didn’t waste time with pleasantries. He stood tall, his face unreadable, but his voice firm. "I’m not here for Mia. I’m here for you."Melissa arched an eyebrow, her expres
After he left Melissa, he decided to talk to Lord Leinhart, he wanted to know his grandfather-in-law’s thoughts on if the culprit turned out to be a family member. He had to handle this delicately but remain firm. Lord Leinhart was a man of immense pride, and bringing accusations of treachery within his family was dangerous territory.Lord Leinhart was seated behind his mahogany desk, reading over a set of documents when Logan entered. The older man, with his sharp eyes and silver hair, looked up, his expression unreadable. He set the papers aside, folded his hands on the desk, and gestured for Logan to sit down.“To what do I owe this unexpected visit, Logan?” Lord Leinhart asked in a formal tone, though there was an underlying edge to his words, as if he already knew this conversation wouldn’t be pleasant.Logan sat down, locking eyes with the older man. “I came to talk about Mia’s accident,” he began, getting straight to the point. “I’ve uncovered some information, but before I p
