Logan's POV Watching Nadine leave my room felt like a sword had pierced my heart. So, she and Asher had been sneaking around behind my back while I was away at work?In a rage, I stormed out of my room, and there was Samantha, standing close by. I looked at her skeptically—had she been expecting this? Was this her plan all along?The anger flared within me. "Get the fuck out of my house right now!" I shouted, my voice shaking with fury. Samantha flinched, but I knew her well enough to know she wouldn't back down so easily.Samantha straightened up, her fear quickly replaced by a cold, defiant look. She wasn’t going to be intimidated, not by me or anyone else. “Logan, you need to calm down,” she said with a steady voice.“Truth?!” I spat back, my anger still boiling over. “You think showing me some manipulated photos is the truth? You’ve been trying to tear us apart from the start, Samantha!”She crossed her arms, her gaze unwavering. “I don't know anything about any photo, or mayb

My eyes widened in shock as I stared at her. For two years, I’d thought I wasn’t good enough for her. I believed I was the reason she had cold feet at the altar.For two years, I lived with the guilt, thinking I wasn’t enough for her to stay. I loved her enough to propose, but now I learned she had known all along she was in love with another woman. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. "This is a joke, right?" I asked, unable to accept the truth.With her eyes still closed, she shook her head, tears streaming down her face.When she finally opened her eyes, her face was wet with tears. "I’m so sorry, Logan. I didn’t know how to tell you. I didn’t want to hurt you, but I couldn’t go through with the marriage knowing the truth."I felt a mix of anger and betrayal. "So you decided to humiliate me in front of everyone instead? You left me to deal with the fallout while you kept your secret?"She nodded, sobbing. "I know it was wrong. I should have been honest with you from the start. I

Asher's face went pale when he saw the picture. He looked at me, clearly troubled. "This isn't Nadine," he said quietly. "The woman in this picture is Isabelle Haines. Livia's mom.""Isabelle Haines? Why does she look like Nadine?" I asked, feeling a rush of confusion.Asher shook his head. "I don’t know. But Isabelle has a history of causing trouble. She must be behind this framing. She's been trying to stir up problems for a while."I stumbled back, my anger and regret overwhelming me. I had let Nadine leave because of my rage. I couldn’t believe I let my anger cloud my judgment."Livia's mother? That’s your daughter, right?" I asked, stepping further into the house.“Yes, Logan,” Asher said, pointing to a couch. “Please, sit down.”I sank into the couch, sweating despite the air conditioning. My mind raced as I tried to process everything.Asher looked at me, concerned. “What’s wrong, Logan? Is Nadine okay? I hope you haven’t done anything stupid because of this picture.”I couldn

"You can track her, right? I know you must have planted something to trace her whereabouts," Asher says, with a sharp tone I froze, caught off guard. "How the hell did you figure that out?""Because I know you, Logan, it's obvious you care about Nadine, but what the hell was Sammie doing at your place? You're such a pussy when it comes to her, and it pisses me off that she knows it, too.""Relax, man," I say, trying to stay calm. "I sent her away. I told him everything, why she left me at the altar."Asher stares at me, speechless for a moment, then finally mutters, "You're in deep shit, Logan. Your priority now should be finding Nadine. I won't forgive you if anything happens to her.""Watch it," I warn, my voice low. "That's my wife you're talking about."He rolls his eyes. "Do you even see her as your wife? Then why the hell did you let Sammie into your house?" I raise my hands in surrender, trying to defuse the situation. "Alright, alright. Let's just check the tracking device."

She pauses for a moment, clearly hesitant to continue. “I’m thinking of not talking any further,” she says.I give her a cold glare, which makes me bite my inner cheek. I love a good story.Zoey finally looks up, “we can’t be together because he’s my stepbrother.”I’m taken aback. “Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry. That must be incredibly painful.”Zoey nods. “Yeah, it’s been tough. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. It’s like every time we get close, reality pulls us apart.”“I can’t imagine how hard that must be, but it’s clear you both care about each other. Sometimes, life just throws these curveballs.”“Yes, it is,” Zoey agrees. “I can feel that pull whenever we’re together. There’s something that always draws me to him, but then I remember he’s my stepbrother, and everything just falls apart.”“Tell me about it,” I say, genuinely interested.“I’ve consulted books and searched online to see if anyone has ever given in to such a love,” she explains. “I’m so sorry, Zoey,” I

Sydney rushes into the bathroom, her face pale. "Nadine, what’s happening?" she asks, with a trembling voice.I point to the bloodstain on my pants. "I don’t know, Syd. I thought it was just normal cramps, but now... I don’t know.""Oh my gosh, Nadine, this doesn't look good. We need to get to the hospital now," she says urgently. She hurried back to my room, grabbing the dress I had taken off.She hands it to me. "Okay, Nadine, put this on," she instructs."Okay, thanks," I reply, trying to get dressed despite my shaky hands. Panic grips me, something I never anticipated with my pregnancy. All my antenatal visits had been reassuring, but now, with everything seeming off, I wonder why.I’ve been feeling cramps in my lower abdomen, but I didn’t expect them to result in blood. I had dismissed it, thinking it was just the baby growing and adjusting.All I can do is hope that this is just a scare and that my baby is still safe. I need to believe that. I have to.“Hurry!” Sydney’s voice jo

Ethan, the doctor, stretches his hand to shake him. I roll my eyes because he is famous, and his family owns half of the city.“How is she, Doctor?” Ethan asks in a panic. I just stand by, watching him take over. He looks more worried than me. I admire the way he cares about Nadine; sometimes, I wonder if Mason could be as expressive as this.The thought of Mason crosses my mind, and I wonder why he hasn't reached out. What I feel for Mason can’t be love, not now, not ever.It sucks seeing the way Ethan pines for Nadine, but I’m sure her heart still belongs to that cold-blooded Logan. I don’t blame her because love can be funny.“We’ve run some tests,” the doctor says. “The bleeding is due to a minor cervical issue. We’ll need to monitor her for the next few hours to ensure everything stabilizes.”“Thank you, doctor. Can we see her now?” I ask, pointing toward the door.“Of course,” he replies, giving Ethan a reassuring pat on the back before walking away.Ethan and I sigh in relief

But no matter how hard I try, my heart refuses to respond.My hand moves toward his hair, hesitating for a moment before I let my fingers brush against the silky strands. The softness surprises me, each strand smooth and well-kept.

I take a step back, trying to create some distance between us, as Logan’s face inches closer to mine. He notices my movement and hesitates."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...you know," he trails off, his eyes searching mine for understanding.“I just wanted to say thank you...for choosing to have Shawn, despite everything between us before you left.”“He's my boy too, and I don't regret...any of it," I sayLogan nods, with a small smile on his lips. "Thank you anyway.”I study Logan's face, trying to read his intentions. I kinda like this new, softer side of him, but I wonder if it's just an act for Shawn’s sake.

He holds it out to me, his eyes hopeful.I shake my head, hesitant to accept whatever is inside. "No, Logan, I don't want anything from you."He takes a step closer, his hand still extended.

"Wait, sorry, my bad," I say, moving the phone away from my ear to double-check the number. I was expecting Ethan's call, but this number is unfamiliar. Yet, the voice on the other end is unmistakable - Logan.I try to sound civil, for Shawn's sake. "What's up?" attempting to keep the tone light."Nothing much, Nadine. Did you sleep well?" I'm not interested in small talk, so I cut to the chase. "Yes, I did. Why are you calling?" The pause is brief, but I sense he hesitates before Logan speaks again. I wait, wondering what he wants to discuss."I was wondering if I can have my time with Shawn today," I recall Shawn's excitement earlier, asking to see his buddy today."Okay," I say, and I can almost hear Logan's sigh of relief on the other end of the line. I'm taken aback - I know he thinks I'll say no. But I'm done fighting; all I want is what's best for my son."What time are you coming?" I ask."I'm right outside your mom's house," his voice is a little stronger now. I glance out
