***LOGAN'S POV***

I shut the door to the room and it locked automatically. I was about heading out but noticed the door opposite was left ajar.

I let out a sigh as I walked up to it and knocked a bit.

“Come in.” I heard a response and slowly walked into the room. I was greeted by the harsh smell of cigarettes and the floor had several ashes of burnt out cigarettes. On the table next to the bed, several bottles of alcohol had been emptied out.

I frowned.

“I thought I told you to let them clean this room once in a while? How can you be comfortable staying in this dumb.” I said with a frown and my mother, Grace, turned to me with a deadpan expression.

“What good news do you have for me?” She asked instead, ignoring my complaints.

“We have the kid. He's locked up securely.” I responded and she smiled, revealing her ruined teeth from all the smoking and drinking she's been doing.

It broke my heart seeing her that way and I sometimes wondered if she would eventually change after we bring th

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV*** I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of a beeping machine. It took a while before I realized I was in a hospital room. “Bella? Bella, my goodness! Roman, get the doctor!” I heard Mom's screaming voice and minutes later, I was being examined by the doctor. “How do you feel?” He asked after removing the lights from my eyes. “I can't move my legs.” I responded weakly as I tried again but couldn't feel my legs. “Yes, well there's nothing to worry about. We had given you an injection to numb the pain for a few hours before taking out the fragments of glass that had entered your legs from the accident.” He explained and I furrowed my brows. “The accident?” I asked and almost immediately, the memories of what happened resurfaced in my head, followed by a killer headache. “Agh!” I winced as I held my head tightly but the headache was the least of my worries right now. “My son! Sandy, Easton! We were all involved in the accident!” I tried to get up but mom

    ***LOGAN'S POV***I gently rang the doorbell and shortly after, the door is pulled open, revealing Roman.“Mr. Lawrence. I didn't expect to see you here.” I said with a smile but he simply arched his brows.“I could say the same. Is there something you need?” He asked a bit hostilely.“I heard about the accident and came to check on Mirabella.” I responded and he stared at me for a while before letting me in.“Wait here.” He said and disappeared into the living room while I remained stationed at the entrance.Suddenly, a little girl came running past me but paused the moment she noticed me. She scrutinized me from head to toe before walking up to me.“Who are you, Mr?” She asked politely and I lowered myself a bit to her level.“Hello, nice to meet you little one. I'm Logan.” I said but she just staring at me.“What's your name?” I asked and she shook her head.“I don't think I'm allowed to tell strangers my name.” She responded, just like Alfred and I let out a soft chuckle. Cute.“

    ***EASTON'S POV*** I stared intently at the monitor as Kyle replayed the surveillance footage for the umpteenth time. We've been going over it for hours now and still haven't found any clues as to the kidnappers identity or where they went. Whoever did this obviously knew there were cameras on the street and had chosen the best angle so as not to get spotted. “There has to be something at least.” I said with a sigh. “We have already been through this multiple times, Easton. What makes you think you'll find anything different from each replay? Just go home and rest. Your mom would have my head if she knew I was letting you work in your condition.” Kyle responded and I let out a heavy sigh. “I know Mirabella. She won't just sit back and do nothing. And I can't sit back and let her do all the work as well. I have to find my son.” I said firmly and Kyle replayed the video again. We had gathered footage from Blakemore Academy down to the crossroad where the accident had happened, and

I couldn't stay here anymore, I needed to go out!It felt like a second prison, and I don't care if I'm seen. He was already planning on going full rogue, so what's the point of hiding my involvement with him?I paused when I finally got to his study room, however the door was left a bit ajar, and I could hear faint voices coming from within.“We begin the next phase tomorrow. Find a discreet location where the ransom will be collected, somewhere with little to no pedestrian lane and somewhere off camera view.” I heard Logan's voice and furrowed my brows, wondering what they were talking about.“Should we make the call now?” “No. We'll make the ransom call tomorrow as well. I don't need their money since I have more than enough, but it's our only way to draw Easton out. I figured kidnapping the little boy isn't enough.

I knew I shouldn't believe any word that comes out of her mouth but she had mentioned Logan.Thanks to her, I finally confirmed that Logan was involved in the accident but I still couldn't understand why.What did he have against Alfred or against Mirabella that he would want to hurt her. He obviously knew Mirabella's weakness. Kidnapping Alfred was one thing, killing me... It was either he was trying to hurt Mirabella or he was after my parents.I let out a sigh as I walked into the house and saw Mom pacing in the living room.“Easton!” She exclaimed the moment she saw me and hugged me tightly.“Mom, what's wrong?” I asked as I felt her trembling slightly.“I was so worried. That woman came here muttering nonsense about you being in danger and—”“Mom, I'm fine. I'm right here.” I said as I hugged her tightly. I knew she was talking about Nicole and she must have told them about Logan.“Where is dad?

I knew she was smart and would try to find ways to escape and so I sent two extra security after her.She had successfully ditched the first two who had dropped her off at her friend's place, while the other two followed her to Easton's house. It wasn't enough that she had gone to see him, she ended up meeting privately with him and from what I heard through my computer, she told Easton about my plans.If I hadn't planted those bugs in the Grey mansion, I wouldn't have known. I had a feeling that someone had eavesdrop on me while I was giving my men instructions, and when I asked from the patrol security, he told me it was Nicole.That was why I had them follow her in the first place, and now her betrayal had been exposed.I'll make her pay!

Kyle and I will go check it out —”“I will not let my son walk into that building, knowing he might not walk out. I'm coming with you.” Dad insisted and I frowned. We already agreed he won't interfere, and now we were here, he was suddenly changing his mind?“Dad, we agreed on this.”“I am coming with you and that's final.” He said and pushed open the door without waiting for my response.I let out a sigh and went after with Kyle tailing behind us.We noticed there were two entrances to the building and still no security guards in sight.“I have a bad feeling about this.” Kyle muttered as we made our way through the smaller entrance.It

    ~KIARA~ The rest of the week was a blast. Phoenix and I really bonded over a short period of knowing each other. She was wild, more wild than myself but really cool. We had a lot in common too, including our undying love for fashion.“My boyfriend is hosting a party tonight. Wanna come?” Phoenix asked me as we both battled each other in a game of street fighter.I decided to hang out at her place after our classes were over.“I think I'll pass. I promised to spend the night with my sis —”“Are you her babysitter? Come on, Kiki. I'm talking lots of drinks, yummy snacks and hot guys! How can you possibly turn this down over a night with your sis when you can spend the rest of your life with her?” Phoenix probed and I let out a sigh.I did say she was wild.The offer was great but I wasn't interested in hot guys. I just wanted one - Gabriel. And so far, I've been doing a really shitty job at getting him to fall for me. I haven't even seen him ever since he showed up at the apartment, an

    ~KIARA~It was as though the air in my lungs had vanished and I was suddenly breathless, my heart thudding violently against my chest and I could feel the palm of my hands getting wet. Why was I so nervous? I guess I wasn't expecting to see him first thing upon my arrival.“Hey, Kiddo. Sandy told me she would be here, so I came to pick her up.” Gabriel said with a small smile on those deliciously looking lips of his — godmanit what's wrong with me!“Oh... Um, she left a while ago.” I stuttered so badly that I wished the ground would just swallow me whole.But then it suddenly hit me. Sandy did this on purpose! Else why would she ask Gabriel to pick her up when she had her own wheels and she literally rushed out of the apartment. I bet she didn't even need to go to the clinic today.“Oh, well in that case —”“Would you like to come in?” I asked, cutting him off. I mean if Sandy wanted to play matchmaker, then I might as well make the most of it.“Sure.” He shrugged and I stepped as

    ~KIARA~I took a deep breath as I crossed the main gates of Ousen University, a bright smile on my face. I was finally in Ousen! My transfer application got approved a month ago, and now I was to complete my registration before finally being seen as an official Ousen student.“First day here?” I turned to the side and noticed a girl standing next to me. Her appearance took me aback at first but at second glance, it settled in.Her hair was a mix of purple and black, parted at the side and stopped just above her shoulders. She wore a black strapless crop top and light blue bum short, and had a bird tattoo on her shoulder which stopped some distance before her elbow, and lastly, a nose piercing.She was giving off gothic vibes and at first glance, one would think she was a meanie but I wasn't one to judge people based on appearance... Well since Natasha of course.“How did you know?” I asked with a slight smile.“You're standing at the gates with a bright smile on your face as though y

    ~SANDY~“Sandy, take me with you when next you go to meet your aunt.” Kiara suddenly blurted out and I turned to her with a smile.“You sure?”“Of course. I want to meet your cousins and who knows, Andrew might just be my type.” She squirled and I chuckled softly.“Over Gabriel already?” I asked her with a smirk and she stared at me in shock, her expression laced with panic as her eyes darted around the living room as though searching for someone or something.“Why would you say that out loud? What if Alfred heard you?” She asked worriedly.“Heard what?” Alfred walked in that moment and Kiara's face lost all colors.We were both in the living room, watching a movie and chatting. It's been ages since we spent time together this way and I decided to make the most of every little time at hand.Hailey had suddenly gone back home due to an emergency and we haven't heard from her for almost a week now.I really hope she was doing alright as this was unlike her to be unreachable for so long.

    ~SANDY~As disappointed as I was that I couldn't get my release, my priority at that moment was chasing after Kiara who had run out of the room after obviously being traumatized by what she had just seen.“Kiara, Kiara!” I yelled out her name but she kept running until she reached the living room before I finally caught up with her, dragging her back by her hand.“What were you thinking, Sandy?! I know I wanted you and my brother to be together but not like this! He's engaged for goodness sake!” Kiara scolded me but I simply smiled at her, happy she wasn't upset based on me being with Alfred but rather because she thought he was still engaged.“Kiara —”“Don't try to reason with me. I'm telling Mom right now so you two don't have to suffer anymore. If you're too much of a coward to make your relationship public then I will!” She snapped, cutting me off and was about to walk away but I pulled her back again.“Kiara it's not like that —”“Don't try to tell me it's not what I think.

    ~SANDY~I smiled the moment we walked out of the airport, inhaling the fresh cool breeze that was blowing non-stop.We were finally back in New York and it felt like I had been gone forever.“You ready?” Alfred asked as he walked up to me, taking my hand in his and I bobbed my head in response, a bright smile on my face.We got to the mansion soon enough and Alfred rang the doorbell which opened shortly after, revealing a rather grumpy Kiara.Her face lit up the moment she saw me and she ran past Alfred as she engulfed me in a tight hug.“Sandy! My gosh you're finally back.” She beamed and I hugged her back tightly.“It's good to see you too, Kiki.” Alfred sighed and Kiara turned to him with a small smile.“Since you brought Sandy back in one piece, I guess I'm happy to see you too.” She responded before dragging me into the house.Mr. Easton had just settled down on the dining table, ready to have his breakfast when his gaze landed on us.“Sandy?” He called just to be certain and I b

    ~SANDY~ I slowly opened my eyes, feeling sore all over, especially between my legs. I felt a heavy weight like a blanket keeping me still and slowly realized it was Alfred's big arms wrapped protectively around me. My cheeks flushed as the memories of last night resurfaced. I couldn't believe what we did, what I did last night. It was as though I had been possessed by a lustful sex driven demon or something that just couldn't get enough of it. I slowly turned around, trying not to wake Alfred up. He was still fast asleep and looked utterly worn out. I did that. I must have drained him out last night, and to think it was actually my first time! “Did you sleep well?” His hoarse voice resonated in the room and I widened my eyes in shock. How long has he been awake?! He slowly opened his eyes, his beautiful hazel green eyes meeting my gaze. “Good morning.” He smiled at me and I found myself burying my face in the sheets. I didn't know how to face him after what happened. I didn'

    ~ALFRED~ As Sandy rode me, my hands found her hips, guiding her as she increased the pace, her breathy moans mingling with mine. We were two halves of a whole, our bodies moving in perfect harmony as we chased our release. “I love you!” She cried out, her body shuddering as she came, her inner walls clamping down on my cock. But she didn't stop, instead continuing to ride me with renewed fervor. I realized in that moment that I had unleashed a horny, sex-starved beast within Sandy. Sandy’s hunger for me was insatiable. As I tried to catch my breath, she reached for my hand and placed it on her breasts, urging me to pinch and twist her nipples as she rode me. “Oh, yes baby!” She moaned out while I cursed under my breath, letting out low groans of pleasure. My hips bucked against her, matching her frantic pace as I lost myself in the waves of ecstasy. I groaned as I came inside her once more, my release mingling with hers as we collapsed onto the bed in a sweaty heap. But

    ~ALFRED~ I broke the kiss after what seemed like forever, giving Sandy room to catch her breath as I leaned my head against hers. “This is your chance to back down, Sandra Willows. If we keep going at this rate, I won't stop until I've claimed all of you, every inch of you, and every fiber in your body as mine.” I warned but the look in her eyes told me she wanted this just as much as I did. “Take me, Alfred. I want you. All of you.” She breathed and I reconnected our lips almost immediately, this time in a more gentle kiss. I lifted her up in one swift motion, walking towards the dinning table and gently placing her on it without breaking the kiss. The kiss was a slow burn, our lips moving together in a sensual dance. I savored the taste of Sandy's lips, drinking in her moans and sighs as my hands roamed her body. Her skin was soft beneath my touch, her curves fitting perfectly into my palms. I felt her hands grip my shoulders, her fingers digging into my skin as our kiss intens
