I am at a loss for words as he corners me, unsure of how to respond. He walks slowly toward me, looking at me as if I’m the only girl that matters.“I know I haven’t been the best at showing my emotions,” he says, his eyes never leaving mine. “But I want you to know that I care about you deeply and I want us to last.”My heart skips a beat at his words. Logan isn't the type to display his emotions easily, but when he does, it feels genuine. Despite my doubts about his understanding of love, his words squeeze a part of my heart tight in my chest.I nod, but he gently brings his lips closer to my ear. He nibbles on it and says in a low, intense whisper, “Gosh, I can’t get you out of my head. Feel this,” he says, pressing against me, “It throbs for you every time I think about you.”His words make my knees weak. I try to be cautious, resisting his allure, but it’s nearly impossible not to fall for this gorgeous man straddling me on his big bed. He moves his lips to mine, kissing me slow

Florence smiles softly, looking between Logan and me. I can tell she's amused. Her eyes twinkle with a knowing look as if she sees more than we do. “You must be making my grandbabies for you to look all flushed like this,” Florence says with a chuckle, pulling me into a hug. “Oh my, Nadine, it’s good to see you again.” She then steps inside, making herself at home.“Mum?” Logan calls out in surprise, scratching the back of his head. He realizes he’s been caught.Laura and Lily exchange a look of amusement before giving me sympathetic smiles. “Hi, Nadine,” they say, pulling me into their hugs.We all head to the living room. I glance at Logan, noting that his cold demeanor has returned.“What brings you all here?” Logan asks, slipping his hands into his pockets. His belt is still loose, and I smile, recalling the nearly naughty moment we were interrupted.“I came to see my son and his wife. Is that a problem?” Florence asks, glancing between Logan and me. I quickly respond, “Not at

His eyes are locked on me, and after his eyes roam my body, I feel my panties get wet. Gosh, this man has a way of eliciting reactions from my core.He steps closer with each determined stride, and my heart pounds with each step he takes. This feeling goes beyond the contract I signed with him, but I'll be damned if I don’t enjoy it while it lasts. He is down the steps now, my eyes locked on him, anticipating his next move.He brings me closer, my front colliding with his body. My knees turn to jelly from the effect Logan has on me. His eyes roam my face as he brings my lips to his and licks them in the most sexual way in a kiss. I feel weak in my knees as I relish the joy of the kiss, not minding if my lipstick will be smeared.A cough from behind startles us, and I place my hand on his chest. That seems to bring him back to reality as he releases his lips from mine and steps back, looking deep into my eyes. The feeling of his eyes on me is out of this world."Come on, love birds

My heart tugs in my chest as I think about my time with Logan. It was all a lie. From the onset, he had said no to falling in love, but being the lost puppy that I am when it comes to love, I fell hard for him. Now, watching him kiss another woman feels like a punch to my gut.I look closely and realize she is someone familiar. It’s the popular Samantha. Then it dawns on me that she is the one Laura was talking about earlier today, and Asher just minutes ago.I stare back at Asher. "You... you knew about this?" I ask, my voice stuttering.Asher looks everywhere but at me. I know he is consumed with guilt. "Nadine, I'm sorry. I tried to block you from seeing this, but I guess I was wrong."I turn my attention back to Logan and Samantha and realize he is looking at her with so much love and admiration like no one else matters except her. I doubt he ever looked at me like that. My heart tugs in my chest as I realize I am only temporary in his heart, and his heart belongs to someone else

But before I can turn around, Logan grips my hand firmly. I wince in pain. "Logan, you are hurting me," I hissed.But he remained silent. Instead, he turns me around, and my breasts collide with his chest. I notice his body stiffen from the effect of my touch, and my own body responds with tingling sensations erupting around me.We stare at each other for what feels like forever. His mouth is close to my ear. "You will follow my every command and know your place. You will be my wife in every sense of the word. You will fulfill your duty by producing an heir. And remember, no falling in love," he says, gripping my hands lightly.My heart pounds in my chest. His breath is warm against my ear, sending shivers through my veins. He releases my hands, but his words leave a lasting impact on me.Logan steps back, his eyes dark and intense, never leaving mine. Fear and defiance boil inside me, but I know better than to challenge him now. I swallow hard, trying to steady my racing heart and

“Samantha will be staying with us for a few days, and I expect you to be on your best behavior,” Logan says, with a clipped tone.“As we both know, I won’t interfere with you as long as you don’t get in my way, just like the contract stipulates.”I open my mouth, ready to curse him out, but I bite the inside of my cheek, forcing myself to stay silent. It’s infuriating how he constantly brings up the contract, using it as a reason for his demands.“Noted,” I say, nodding my head.“Good. I’m glad we’re on the same page,” he replies. “Will that be all?”I ask with a forced smile, “Because I need to retire to bed and get my beauty sleep.”Logan nods, his gaze still steady. “Yes, that will be all. Have a good night, Nadine.”I rise from the couch and head towards the door, eager to escape the tension in the room. As I walk away, I can feel Logan’s eyes on my back, but I refuse to turn around. I’ve decided to forget the events of the night and focus on moving forward with a plan in mind. I

I am all alone in the house and wonder where everyone has gone. I make my way through the kitchen to eat lunch. The silence is unnerving. I remember leaving everyone in the living room after breakfast.Earlier, I had opted to go to the swimming pool to clear my head. My heart sinks in my chest when I see Logan and Samantha swimming together. They seem so happy.Logan's eyes lock onto Samantha's as they kiss passionately. It confirms that the kiss at the gala wasn't a mistake, but something that will continue for a long time.Logan sits by the pool with his legs in the water. Samantha is between his legs, her neck stretched up as she gazes into Logan's eyes. Logan's eyes are full of smiles as he draws her lips to his.Asher catches me staring at them. I don't want to hear anything he has to say because he knows about Logan and Samantha and still encourages me to pursue my feelings for Logan.I know by now I should have sucked it up and not acted on my feelings for him."Nadine," he cal

First, I need to process this news. I lean my head against the cool bathroom tiles, letting the reality sink in. Later, I pace back and forth, wondering what I will do now that I know my fate. I don't know if I should be happy, scream, or just feel down about the result. I am pregnant, and I don't know what to do.This is too much for me right now. With everything going on between Logan and me, I never imagined things would go this way.I walk out of the bathroom and slump down on the bed, staring up at the ceiling with thoughts racing through my mind. I can't stay here and watch everything fall apart. I have to get out, even if it's temporary.I go to my closet, searching for comfortable clothes. After much contemplation, I settled on a sundress. I comb my hair and tie it into a bun, glancing into the mirror. My eyes look pale and tired. The signs were there all along, but I never paid much attention to them. I dab my face with a bit of makeup to cover the dullness.I take a good

As I turn to face him, my body stiffens, and my mind races with thoughts of what he might say. I hope it's not something that will break my heart. I try to compose myself, thinking of Shawn's needs first. "Please, I'll need to take care of Shawn, then I'll be back," I say, trying to sound calm."Can I carry him in my arms?" he asks, with emotion in his voice."Yes," I reply, but as I try to hand Shawn over, he clings to me like a lifeline. I couldn't force him to let go."I'm sorry, I'll need to go now, but I'll be back," I tell him, trying to reassure him as I make my way to take care of Shawn. I can feel his gaze on me, but I know I need to prioritize Shawn's needs right now.Part of me wants to turn back and confront whatever it is he wants to tell me.I focus on Shawn's tiny hands wrapped tightly around my finger, his big brown eyes looking up at me. I take a deep breath and push aside my worriesAs I care for Shawn, my mind swirls with a hundred thoughts. After finishing with his

I glance around the room, my heart pounds as I shift my gaze between Mum and Gabriel, trying to make sense of their argument or the secret they’re hiding.“Mum, please,” I say, my voice trembling. “What is going on? Can you just say it?” I gesture toward Gabriel. "I don’t even know this man, but if he can donate a kidney for you, he must mean something. Who is he? What does he want?"Mum meets my eyes for a second, then looks at Gabriel. Her lips press into a thin line as she squeezes her eyes shut. For a long moment, she’s silent, shaking her head slowly, as though wrestling with thoughts she can’t bring herself to say aloud.“Mum, what is this? Can you just say it and get it over with?” my patience wears thin. I can feel she has a secret she’s holding onto tightly.Before she can respond, a sharp, piercing scream echoes through the house. Shawn. He’s awake, and the absence of anyone around has startled him.Without a second thought, I dash to his room. He’s sitting on the bed, his

Nadine’s POVI toss and turn, barely getting a wink of sleep last night. But today is Saturday, and all I want to do is curl up in bed with my boy by my side. The thought of going back to my apartment exhausts me - I don't have the strength to face it. And honestly, I'm scared of unwanted guests showing up unannounced. My mind still reels from the near-attack at my apartment. All I crave is a peaceful day with my son, in the comfort of my mother's home. I need my coffee, so I quietly make my way downstairs to the kitchen, trying not to wake my son or mother, who I'm sure is still sleeping soundly in her room. Just as I'm pouring myself a cup of coffee, a sudden knock on the door startles me. I wonder who it could be, so I cautiously make my way to the door and slowly open it. On the other side, I see a well-dressed man around my dad's age, with a kind face and a warm smile. "Hello," I say nervously. "Hello," he replies, "I'm Gabriel, the kidney donor." His words take me by surp

Logan's POV As I watch, Ethan storms out of the house, his face thunderous. I know exactly what that means - the discussion between Nadine, and him in the backyard didn't go well. My mind starts racing with thoughts, each one tumbling over the other in a jumbled mess. I know I need to act fast, to be there for Nadine and Shawn. I can hear the panic in Nadine's voice, and my heart aches for her.

My front collides with his chest as I struggle to break free. "Just let me go, please. I need to rest."But Logan holds tight, his breath fanning my face, threatening to crumble my resolve. "Don't you want to get answers to your questions?" he asks.I try to steel myself, but my heart races at his words. And then he drops the bombshell: "Yes, someone is after your life."He says it so matter-of-factly like he's commenting on the weather. I step back, unsure how to react to this news. I need assurance, "You're lying, right?" my voice barely above a whisper.Logan's face softens, and for a moment, I see pity in his eyes. "Wait, this is true?" I ask, with alarm, as I finally grasp the gravity of the situation.He nods solemnly. "I wasn't lying when I said someone was after your life. I've had two attempts to uncover who's responsible, but both leads ended in dead ends."I'm stunned, my mind racing with fear. I shove my hands into my hair. "Oh my goodness!" I exclaim."My son, is he in

Ethan turns to me, "Are you two back together now?" I'm taken aback by the question, not expecting him to be so direct. I slowly make my way beside him and sit down, choosing my words carefully.I know Ethan doesn't need to know the intricacies of my relationship with Logan. His son deserves the chance to bond with his father without anyone interfering. I wouldn't want someone to deny my child that right, and I won't deny Shawn that either.Instead of answering his question, I turn the tables. "Are you aware that Sydney blocked all means for Logan to reach me?" I ask, studying Ethan's reaction, trying to gauge his emotions. He tenses for a moment, before turning to face me. His eyes narrow slightly, and I sense a hint of surprise, maybe even defensiveness. Ethan's expression turns defensive, with his voice rising. "Is that the lie he told you?" he retorts"Just answer my question, are you aware or not?"Ethan's voice grows louder, his words tumbling out in a rush. "Of what use is

I understand why Logan is upset, but we can't keep fighting like this. But how can we do that when Logan's still hurting from the past and Ethan's trying to insert himself into our lives? I feel like I'm stuck in the middle, trying to mediate between two men who both want to be involved in my son's life. I wish Logan could see that Ethan's not trying to replace him, but I know that's hard for him to accept right now. "What is he doing here?" Logan growls, his voice low and menacing.My mom appears, a nervous look on her face. "Logan, please calm down. This isn't the time or place."But Logan is beyond reason. He's seeing red, and I know I need to intervene before things escalate further.Ethan is playing hide and seek with my son, his laughter and smiles are rich compared to the anger he unleashed at the flower shop. I turn to Logan, his clenched jaw a visible sign of the anger he's struggling to keep in check. His eyes narrow, his gaze fixed on Ethan with disgust. Ethan's eyes l

He stays quiet for a while, collecting his thoughts before speaking. "It's been hell since you left New York, Nadine.”I interrupt him, my words spilling out in a rush. "Since I left New York or since you sent me out of your house?" I ask, in a bitter voice. "Do you think I'd want to be anywhere close to you here in America? I was happy when I was invited to Canada to stay, and that was one of the best decisions of my life. There, I had peace."Logan's eyes narrow, his face tense, but he says nothing, letting the silence stretch out between us. "I know I wasn't the best to you, I've spent every day of my life trying to right my wrongs. But when I saw the huge difference between your face and the picture I was sent, I knew at that time that I had behaved badly."He pauses, collecting his thoughts before continuing. "That's by the way, Logan," I retorted. "I wouldn't want to dwell on something that's a closed chapter in my life. But my question is, who prevented you from coming clos

I quickly step away, trying to put some distance between us. Logan tries to catch up, attempting to hook his hand around mine, but I'm not having it. I look at him warily, wondering if he's lost his mind thinking I'd willingly hold hands with him.I spot a taxi driving by and wave it down, trying to make a quick escape. Logan's caught off guard, and I take advantage of the momentary distraction to open the door and hop in.As I give the driver my destination, I turn around to take one last look at Logan. His face is comical: He looks like he can't believe I'm leaving him standing there in the rain.But as the taxi pulls away, I see Logan's expression change.I smile as I gaze back at the road. Ethan's sudden storm-off has me wondering where he went and why his demeanor changed so abruptly. I'm still reeling from his outburst - who wouldn't be? He had built this illusion in his head that we were married, and seeing it shatter when I declared my love for Logan was intense."Here, ple
