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
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
Logan struggled to open his eyes as he still had so much alcohol in his system, he moved in the bed till his hand touched a soft and warm skin. A loud scream right came after his hand was yanked away with so much strength. “What have you done to me? Who are you? A feminine voice shouted at him. Logan sat up on the bed and rubbed on his eyes so he could see properly, as his vision cleared, he saw a beautiful fair woman beside him, he didn’t seem to know what was going on. “Who are you and why am I here?” Mia frowned at him. “What sort of shameless question is that? I should be asking you instead! Did you bring me here to rape me?” “Rape? That is a sensitive word you are using ma’am. For someone who seduced me, you have some brazen guts to say that.” Logan fired at her. She tried to recollect what he meant by that and she remembered how she ended up in the position she was in.Mia ran her hands through her hair. “I must be out of my mind. How much did I drink last night to have ma
The news dropped as a bombshell to Mia because she had no idea of what they were speaking about nor had she ever heard the name Logan Frost. She knew her grandfather wasn’t going to take this matter lightly with her especially when he was desperate to marry her into the Nelson’s family. Her mind was in a state of confusion because she was still trying to process what had happened last night. One thing she was sure of is that she had really done it with the stranger that she woke up to. It was really a bad idea for her to get drunk in the city of gambling Her grandfather was going to throw a fit if he found out about that and this absurd news will make him melt a harsher punishment on her. A drunken mistake? He might banish her from the family and freeze her bank accounts, leaving her with nothing. Lord Leinhart was capable of doing this. She rather kept quiet about it and played her cards right to get a lighter sentence from her grandfather. “Erm, yes, that is the man I chos
The news came as a shock to Mia’s parents, and her mom was the first to speak in her defense. “Father, it would be unfair to ask her to sit at the back there without those failures at the back. She makes the most money in this family and there is no here that has ever beaten her record.”“I don’t know how Mia might have offended you, father but I think it is extreme that you asked her to sit there.” Mia’s Father added.“You two should join her on that table. She is your daughter, you should take responsibility for her actions too.” Lord Leinhart frowned.“Can’t you tell us what she did?” Mia’s mother asked. “If it’s something that you can’t disclose, please forgive her actions, father. It is my fault for not raising her right.”“What she did is unforgivable, accept your punishment and don’t speak to me about it again.” Lord Leinhart ordered.“She must have lost some big investment." One of the family members whispered to another.“In knew it. It was bound to happen one day. The finan
Logan was taken aback with the silence that was in the hall, he had expected the family to take the news surprisingly but he didn't expect that the once noisy hall would quiet down like that.He looked at Mia who looked scared when he first arrived. She looked like she was relieved at his presence. He wondered why she was teased around her own family.It was glaring that she wasn’t comfortable around them and somehow she remained there. Why would anyone have a meal with people they were not comfortable with?Lord Leinhart on the other hand was very furious, his plan of hiding his favorite granddaughter’ marriage had just failed before him. He didn’t want anyone in the family to know he would not have to melt out a harsher punishment to her.He had a soft spot for Mia, knowing that she was capable and was smarter than most of the members of the family, she had a lot of enemies that would be trying to use that against her.That was why he didn’t want to disclose it anyway but he would
Lord Leinhart’s announcement seemed to make everyone except Mia and her parents glad. They have been plotting ways to impeach Mia from her position as the CEO of the family business. Somehow Mia had been able to escape their traps without getting hit. This was a free opportunity that came to them for free. The members of the Leinhart family converted the position of the CEO because they could earn a lot from it..Being the highest position in the family, the CEO gets a new ride every three months and they stay in a luxurious Villa to themselves. They also get unrestricted trips around the world, plus recognition from everyone in the country.It is a position with killing for. “Father, that is extreme.” Mia’s mother lamented. “Stripping her off her positions and kicking us out is not fair on us.”“Sister-in-law, It is also fair that she gets punishment for marrying an unworthy man into the Leinhart family,” Melissa’s mother said back then she faced Lord Leinhart. “Father, now that
“Hahaha.” Melissa laughed out loud. “Look here, Mr nobody, do you think just anyone knows the insides of Starfall group? Even families as strong as the Leinhart family do not have so much connection when it comes to that company. Who can nobody like you know?”“Dear Cousin, your husband is so delusional, i din;t expect that your taste in men was this poor, I am disappointed in you,” She mocked Mia. “You should have picked up a few things from me in the past. You won’t have ended up with a useless, nameless man.”“If not for your boyfriend, I am sure you won’t know anyone in that company. Don’t act like you have already won this. Nothing has been finalized yet.” Mia’s mum came to her daughter's defense. She knew her daughter wasn’t a woman of many words and would not like to respond to everything her cousin says. She took her side but she was still angry that her daughter got married to a nobody.“Aunty, it is pretty obvious that I will win this, you should persuade your daughter to

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
