Logan POVI took a deep breath; I stood there, my mouth agape, as I processed everything Isabelle had just revealed. And then it clicks - she's Isabelle Haines, the one person who can shed light on the mysterious picture that's been driving me crazy. I thought I was closing in on the truth, but now I realize that Isabelle, the woman I confronted and accused, wasn't responsible for sending that picture.My mind races as I try to piece together the puzzle. If Isabelle wasn't the one who sent the picture, then who was? Who's behind the sinister plot to drive a wedge between us? Just when I thought I had the answer to my question, a new one emerged, leaving me more determined than ever to uncover the truth.Shocking memories come flooding back as I recall the online scandal involving Isabelle's picture with a billionaire - whose name still eludes me. I had taken credit for the leak, assuming it was just a careless mistake. But now, I realize that Nathalie's names were dragged into the
I gaze at the screen, my eyes fixed on the email's unsettling contents. How did I miss this? It's as if I've been sleep walking through my inbox. I recheck the screen, wondering if I've misinterpreted the message, but the words remain unchanged.Sydney Blake is the mastermind behind this. But why? But she is Nadine's best friend she was the one I saw with Nadine the first time I set my eyes on her.I feel like a pawn in Sydney's game, reacting exactly as she predicted. I sent Nadine away, playing into her hands.I take a deep breath, It's time to confront the truth and fight for Nadine, for my marriage though it may be a contract, I see it as a real one I know I should protect my son and Nadine, but I know I need to act fast. "Richie!" I call out, and he appears instantly."Get men to Nadine's new apartment, discreetly," I instruct. "Guard her, but don't reveal yourself. And send some to Nadine's mom's house, where my son is. Nothing can go wrong."Richie nods and hurries out of th
Nadine POVI hear Logan's words, it's a threat, one I can't afford to ignore. I start pacing back and forth in my house, my mind racing with worst-case scenarios.I grab my phone and dial my mother's number, my heart pounding in my chest. I need to know my son is safe. "Hello, Mum, how are you? And how's Shawn?" I ask, trying to sound calm despite my racing thoughts."Nadine, are you okay?" my mum asks, concern etched in her voice. "You sound out of breath. What's wrong?"I take a deep breath, trying to compose myself. I don't want to alarm her, but I need reassurance. "I just need to know Shawn is okay, Mum." I pause, waiting for her response.She stays quiet for some time, and I'm getting frustrated with her silence. "Mum, please! Say something! You're scaring me!" I exclaim, my voice rising in desperation."Take a deep breath, Nadine. What's wrong?" my mum asks, but I can sense a hint of frustration in her voice."Mum? Please stay indoors and don't receive any strange visitors!"
I look up, panic still gripping my heart, wondering who's burst into my living room. But as my eyes land on Ethan, my racing heart calms a bit. He scans the room, taking in the hefty men and Logan, his jaw clenched.Then, his eyes lock onto mine, and his expression softens. He rushes to my side in an instant. I can sense the underlying tension between Ethan and Logan. Logan's gaze is fixed on Ethan, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity, making me wonder if it's just jealousy or something more.But I push those thoughts aside and focus on Ethan."Hey, are you okay?" he asks, as he wraps a protective arm around me. I nod, still trying to process everything, "I'm fine. His men came to help," I say, nodding towards Logan without wanting to say his name.Ethan's gaze shifts to Logan, and I can sense the tension between them. But Logan's smirk catches my attention. He looks like he knows a secret, something we don't. His expression is infuriatingly calm. With Logan, you can never b
Logan's POVAs I watch Ethan walk into the apartment, my instincts scream at me to confront him. I want to march right up to him and demand answers. But I keep my cool, observing him instead.Ethan looks uneasy, his eyes darting around the room as if searching for an escape route. He's not comfortable with the situation, but I'm not sure why. Did he expect things to go differently? Did he think Nadine would be hurt, or worse?My thoughts are interrupted by the memory of the man I captured at the scene of the accident.I take a deep breath, trying to process everything. I need to stay calm and get to the bottom of this. But it's hard when all I want to do is protect Nadine from whatever danger is lurking around her.I glance over at Nadine, who's watching Ethan with confusion and fear. I can see the uncertainty in her eyes, and it kills me.Ethan takes a step closer to Nadine, and my instincts flare up again. I want to push him away, to keep him from getting too close. But I hold bac
Nadine’s POVEthan's face twists in anger. He's unhappy that the culprit is caught, and I know I need to be careful around him. He takes a step closer, and I jump back, startled.But then I see Logan watching me, his eyes filled with concern. He wants to tell me something, but he's holding back. I'm thankful for him, even though I tried to push him away. He still sent his men to guard my house, keeping me safe."Logan, thank you for everything," I say, meaning every word.Logan stands still for a moment, then turns to me. "You're welcome, Nadine," I can tell he wants to say more, but he stops himself. He shakes his head slowly and walks away.As I gaze back at Ethan, I sense a long and uneasy night ahead. "Thanks for coming back," I say, trying to sound calm. "Did you sort out what you went for?"Ethan nods, stuttering, "Y-yes, I did."I sigh. "Okay," I say, heading towards my room. "All I want is a long bath and to curl up in bed. I'm tired."But Ethan follows me, making me uneasy.
I stand there, frozen in awe, taking in the details of the shop. I'm speechless, unable to find the right words to express my emotions. My gaze shifts to Ethan, and I'm met with a broad smile that suggests he's thrilled to have evoked this reaction."Wow, this is...beautiful," I say, my voice trailing off as I struggle to find the perfect words to describe the scene before me.I wander around the shop, taking in every detail, tracing the intricate designs with my fingers. I turn back to Ethan, his smile still hasn't faded. There's something about that smile that has held me spellbound for four years.Memories flood my mind - Ethan by my side throughout my pregnancy, with me through delivery, and beaming with pride as he held Shawn in his arms for the first time. He's been my rock, in every sense of the word, caring for Shawn as if he were his own.As I reflect on yesterday's events, I realize I was being paranoid about Ethan's look. I quickly dismiss the thought of him trying to har
Nadine’s POV “The police chief says you need to come to the station to identify the intruder." My body tenses, and I turn to face Ethan. He's looking around the room like a cornered animal, his eyes darting everywhere except at me. I can see the unease written all over his face. "Are you alright?" I ask, my brow furrowed in concern. But before he can answer, Logan's voice cuts in, with frustration. "What's going on, Ethan? You're acting like you're guilty." I can feel Logan's anger, but I won't let him take over. I step in."Logan, stop. This isn't the time." I turn back to Ethan, my eyes locked on his. "Ethan, what's going on? Why are you so nervous?" I demand, with an insistent voice.Ethan's eyes meet mine, and for a moment, I see a fear. But then, his mask slips back into place, and he forces a smile. "I'm fine, Nadine. Just a little... surprised." I'm not buying it. I know he's hiding something. And Logan's not helping. He's still seething, with anger. I can feel his eyes o
Nadine's POVThese past few weeks have been the best of my life. Shawn knows Logan is his dad, and it’s been a smooth ride. He sticks to Logan's side all day, and Logan, being the doting father, has no other obligation than to satisfy his son’s desires.Our dates are magical, and we’ve been on so many more since then. Logan spoils me silly, making every moment feel special. During one of our outings, he asked me to be his girlfriend, and I couldn’t care less about the label because I knew he wanted to woo me—that’s how he puts it.Logan’s family is eager for us to bring Shawn around so he can get to know his father’s side. I see pure love in their eyes as they bask in Shawn’s presence. Later, I find out that the blonde Logan pointed out at the restaurant with Chris is Lucas’s girlfriend. I feel a flush of embarrassment when I remember how I wanted to march up to her and stake my claim on Logan. Thank goodness I didn’t do that! I turn to Logan and playfully smack his chest. “Ouch!” h
Logan's POVI can’t get enough of Nadine. She’s like a soothing balm for my aching heart, and after giving her multiple orgasms, I feel like I’ve been on one hell of a ride.I want every part of her to bear my mark, so no man dares to come close to what is mine. I trail kisses over her body as she slowly opens her eyes. “No, not again, Logan,” she murmurs, feeling my erection pressing against her.I can’t count the number of times I’ve had an erection just from kissing her, and each time, it leads to amazing sex—an explosion of pent-up desire finally released. “I need to see my boy,” she whines, making her way toward the bathroom.I smile as I watch her. I want to see my boy too, but I dream of us being a family, all under one roof. Waking up each morning with Nadine by my side, peppering her with kisses and sending her into ecstasy before I head off to work. I imagine my son jumping up and down on my bed, trying to wake us up. The picture brings a smile to my face.Suddenly, I real
Nadine's POV.He pulls away and asks me a question I wasn’t expecting. Things are moving faster than I thought, but I know we’ve been avoiding our feelings for too long. We’ve both suffered in denial.“Go on a date with me,” he says softly, his eyes searching mine for a reaction. But I know I’m ready to take that leap of faith for us.I smile warmly, letting him see just how open I am to his request.“Of course, yes.”The smile that lights up his face is beyond ordinary, it’s captivating, pulling me in like a spell. He draws me closer and kisses me gently, and I savor the bliss that washes over me. Then it hits me—I need to call Rosa to let her know I won’t be home tonight.There’s no way I’m leaving here; I just want to stay in his arms all night.He notices the shift in my mood and asks, “What’s wrong?”“I need to call Rosa.”“Oh, how’s our son doing?” he asks, watching closely, testing if I’ll show any vulnerability.“He’s fine, but he wasn’t too happy with us leaving so suddenly.
I can’t believe what I just heard. My heart leaps with joy, pounding so hard I feel it might burst from my chest. “I’m right where I should be,” she whispers.It feels surreal. “Say that again, Nadine,” I urged, my face lighting up with happiness.“Oh, stop, Logan,” she replies, covering her face with her hands.Unable to contain my excitement, I scoop her up in a bridal carry and head up the stairs.“Drop me! I can walk by myself!” she laughs, but I can’t help my joy as I carry her with happiness.“Where are you taking me?” she asks, laughing.“To my bathroom. Remember that day you had your bath here?” She nods her head against my chest, a playful smile on her lips.I can’t seem to have a bath without thinking about that day. I kick the door open and step inside, gently lowering her to her feet under the shower.As the warm water cascades around us, I slowly start to remove her clothes, then peel off my own until we are both naked, feeling the heat envelop us.I take a moment to ad
He moves his hand down, sliding my pants aside, and finds my clit with his fingers. I shudder, arching my back as he continues to press deeper. He adds another finger, fucking me with it, but it doesn’t come close to satisfying the longing that’s consumed me for years. No amount of self-control can hold back the desire that surges through me.His fingers alone can’t quench my thirst. All I want is his dick inside me, filling me, while my clit clench around him.He slams into me with all the raw power I remember from our first night together, igniting a fire deep in me.That night is etched in my memory, and each time I use my toy, I picture him, as I thrust in and out reliving the raw connection I feel that reckless night.As he drives deeper, sensations flood back, every gasp, every moan, every brush of his skin against mine. I remember the way he looked at me, his eyes dark with desire, as if I were the only thing that mattered in the world.I think of how desperately I craved him
"Nadine," he calls my name, and my knees go weak. I can’t help myself; I lunge at him, pressing my lips to his. He swings into action immediately, without hesitation, as if he’s been waiting for this moment. What does this man do to me? He kisses me back, matching my intensity, pouring as much desire into the kiss as I do.I know this man. His presence etches itself into every part of my being. I can’t stay sane without him. I know it sounds cliché, but it’s the damn truth. He owns me, and I’m sure he feels the same. My encounter with Chris is a wake-up call, reminding me to hold on tight to what I have. Rosa’s words echo in my mind, even if she thinks I didn’t hear: I shouldn’t let a good man slip away.“Oh, Nad,” he whispers, his hands roaming over my body, cupping my butt. I wrap my legs around him, keeping our lips locked.He carries me to the couch, laying me down gently before finally pulling away.“What the hell, Logan?” I snap, frustration bubbling up like a child denied th
Nadine's POV I'm still reeling from Logan's sudden appearance and departure. My heart was racing, and my body trembling with desire. How does he do this to me? I feel like I'm trapped in a web of longing, unable to escape.The way he touched me, his fingers tracing my skin, sending shivers down my spine. His eyes, burning with intensity, seeing right through me. And that whispered question, 'What do you want?'... It's as if he knows I'm powerless against him.I try to shake off the feeling, telling myself I'm on a date with Chris, but Logan's presence has awakened something deep within me. I can't deny the connection between us.Chris... poor Chris. He has no idea what's going on. I feel guilty, about using him as a distraction from Logan. But Logan's games are exhausting. Why can't he leave me alone?As I return to the table, Chris notices my flushed cheeks and asks if I'm okay. I force a smile, trying to brush it off, but he sees right through me.'Everything alright?' he asks, con
Logan's POVI keep tabs on her, my men tracking her every move. But tonight feels different. I'm told that she’s going on a date with Chris Meyers, the kind of guy who can charm his way into anyone’s heart. I know he won’t stop until he has Nadine under his spell, and the thought twists my heart with disgust, a sharp pang of jealousy tightening my chest.Even from afar, I sense her unease. Her eyes darted around, searching for someone, anyone, watching her. Little does she know, it’s me.Kelly, my brother Lucas’s girlfriend, is nearby. Lucas has been pushing me to meet her, and as soon as he steps away to take a call, I know it’s my moment to move closer.When I point at Kelly as my date, I see it in her eyes—she’s ready to tear her apart from miles away.Returning to my seat, I feel Nadine’s gaze follow me, tracking my every move. When she finally stands, I slip away, quietly following her.She heads toward the restroom, and I follow, keeping my distance as I move discreetly in the
The past few weeks have been a wild ride, just as I expected. I've spent more time at my flower shop and squeezed in several dates.Some of them? Total snooze-fests. They drone on about themselves—their accomplishments, their families without ever asking what I want.One guy bragged so much that you'd think I was lucky just to be sitting across from him.Another couldn’t stop talking about his mom and his pet, which screamed a red flag from a mile away.Logan’s been away a lot, but he still checks on Shawn when I’m not around, always making sure to send flowers. This time, though, he didn’t come by in person to place the order.But his absence is obvious even Ava can't stop talking about the gorgeous man who ordered flowers which I know she is referring to Logan Even Shawn has noticed, asking where Logan’s been. I just shrug, unsure of the answer.He followed up the flowers with a sweet message that had me grinning from ear to ear.Lately, I’ve been exploring more—going on dates, unw
