***LOGAN'S POV***

“Why do you have a picture of my family?” She asked, her gaze firm as she awaited my response.

At first I panicked a bit but then I realized that it doesn't change anything whether or not she finds out. She was in my home, and I had the upper hand. I know I said I would save her for last, but if things go sideways, then I might just start with her.

“I mean, no offense but you do realize you're from a well known family right? Of course images of you would be loaded on the Internet.” I said in a playful manner as I walked up to her and took the photo from her.

“So you printed it off the Internet? Why?” She asked again and I let out a light chuckle.

“I was curious. I mean I was fascinated by you the moment I saw you, and yes I'll admit I shamefully stalked your photos online but I promise I have no ill intentions.” I responded and she furrowed her brows, as though not believing a word.

“But this isn't why you came all the way to see me, is it? And I know you also didn'

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV***I sat nervously on the chair as I awaited the hearing to commence. Easton and I have been working our way into adopting Sandy, and Roman had offered to assist as our attorney. Everything has been settled and now it was time for the court hearing and the final stage which would determine whether or not Sandy would be ours or get sent to an orphanage.“All rise.” We heard the bailiff announce and the courtroom fell silent as Judge Thompson entered before taking her seat.Easton and I as well as Roman, took our places at the petitioner table.“This court is now in session. The matter before us is the adoption petition of Mirabella Brookwood and Easton Grey, seeking to adopt Sandra Willows, a four year old female child. Mr. Lawrence, please proceed." Judge Thompson said, and Roman stood up from his seat.“Thank you, Your Honor. My clients, Mirabella and Easton are before the court today, seeking to provide a loving and stable home to Sandy, who has been left without

    ***MIRABELLA'S POV***We got to Blakemore Academy shortly and I let out a deep breath.“Easton,” I called and Easton turned to me with a raised brow.“Is something wrong?” He asked and I shook my head."I was just wondering if we would be changing Sandy's last name. Since she's legally ours. " I asked and he seemed thoughtful for a while.“I think we should rush things. Sandy is still young and she might not fully understand her choices now. Let's give her time. By the time she turns sixteen, if she decides she wants to change her name or keep it, then we'll respect her wishes.” Easton responded and I bobbed my head in agreement.We alighted the car and went into the building to get our kids. “Ms. Brookwood.” Helen called when she spotted us. She seemed to be having a little chat with Sandy when we arrived.“It's good to see you, Helen.” I smiled at her.“Thank you both for choosing to take Sandy under your wings.” “It's no big deal. We love her and we owe it to Jerald.” Easton resp

    ***NICOLE'S POV***I clenched my fists as I made my way through the hallway until I got to his office.“Sorry Ms, but the boss doesn't want to be disturbed at the moment.” One of his security guards said as he stretched his hand out, stopping me.“Get the fuck out of my way or you'll regret it.” I hissed, glaring at him.I wasn't in the mood for games right now and I won't mind taking that useless gun from him and putting it to use on his head!“I'm sorry but the instructions were to—” The door got pulled open from the inside and another security guard signaled for me to come in.Of course he would have security cameras, being the kind of man he is, he wouldn't even trust his own men.I glared at the man who had stopped me before barging into the study room.“Leave us.” Logan instructed his men and they bowed slightly before walking out of the room, shutting the door behind.“You better have a good reason as to why you did this!” I thundered and he chuckled.“You need to be specific h

    ***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

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.

    ***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.

    ~SANDY~I felt my palms getting wet as I was called out onto the podium to give my speech.I had imagined this day since the first day I got into Ousen University, and now it was finally here but now, I felt really anxious. What if I said the wrong things, what if I slipped while climbing onto the podium and fell?Why were my thoughts suddenly so wicked?I should be confident in myself. I came this far, I survived all the hardship, all the challenges and the best part of it all, was that among the audience, my family and everyone I loved was present.Uncle Roman, my grandparents Lionel and Lucia, my granddaughter Martha, my adoptive parents Easton and Mirabella, my sister Kiara, my best friends Hailey and Gabriel, my new friends Natasha and Danzel, my Aunt Paulina and her children, and lastly, the love of my life, Alfred Grey.They were all present, and cheering me on. I found my confidence the moment I got up on that podium and saw their smiling faces.“I thank everyone who is presen

    ~DANZEL~I groaned as I heard the loud banging on the door to my room. “Danzel, don't you have a morning shift or something today? Why are you still in bed?” I heard Jeffery's voice yapping nonstop and I finally pulled myself out of the bed.I just wanted to sleep in today. I didn't feel like going anywhere but the problem is I haven't felt like going out ever since Hailey left here that night.I felt so stupid for hurting her. She didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve someone like me, she deserved better.She had genuinely made herself vulnerable by telling me how she felt and I coldly shattered her heart. I let her down real hard and it has haunted me every night and day.“Dude what the hell? Are you sick or something? You haven't left the house for a week now.” Jeffery asked worriedly as I finally let him into my room.“I'm fine, I just need a little rest.” I responded but he didn't seem convinced.“You said that yesterday and every other day before. What's going on with you?”I s

    ~HAILEY~“You got everything?” Mom asked as I zipped up my box, ready to leave.“Yes, I think.” I responded, my gaze scrutinizing the room to be certain I wasn't forgetting anything.When I was certain I had it all, I pulled my luggage downstairs. Sandy and Kiara were both waiting for me.Kiara was celebrating her nineteenth birthday this weekend and I decided to spend the week with them since we were on a school break as well.“Don't worry, Mrs. Jordan, we will take good care of her.” Sandy reassured my mom and I chuckled softly.“I trust you will. Have fun sweetheart.” Mom said as I hugged her goodbye.“I'll call you the moment we arrive.” I said and she nodded in response, giving us the green light to leave.The ride back to New York was a rather quiet one, until Kiara broke the silence.“So no one is going to say anything? Come on, tell me how it went!” Kiara beamed and I pressed my lips into a thin line.I wish I had never confessed to Danzel but at the same time, I had no regret

    ~HAILEY~ I opened the door, letting Sandy and Kiara in. They wanted to meet my mom before they headed back. Funny how five minutes after refusing to come with them, I had changed my mind and agreed to it.I wanted to spend more time with Sandy and school break was around the corner, so maybe I could leave then, and come back on resumption.“This is my first time being in your house in Pennsylvania. We mostly met up at your apartment next to school or you would come see me.” Sandy pointed out and I slowly bobbed my head.She's been talking nonstop about things we used to do and things we never did. I could see that she was making a lot of efforts to get me to remember, but even my mom couldn't make that happen.I guess I was the one slowly blocking my memories or something. I thought I would miraculously remember once I met Sandy, but even Sandy seemed strange to me at some point, while another, she was familiar.“My mom should be home shortly. Do you need anything while you wait?” I

    ~HAILEY~ Sandy's eyes teared up the moment I called out her name and she immediately rushed towards me, engulfing me in a tight hug. “Hailey! My God it's you!” She cried out and I found myself crying as well. I could feel her love for me radiating through her every being. Just like my mom, I didn't have to remember her to know that she was truly an important part of my life. She was my best friend, and I'm certain she was also like a sister to me. “I have missed you so much!” She pulled out of the hug, her gaze scrutinizing me from top to bottom. I suddenly felt a light smack on my shoulder and turned to the side to see the blue eyed lady glaring daggers at me. “How could you?! How could you ghost us like that?! How could you abandon Sandy like that?! Did your friendship mean so little to you?! Did we mean so little to you?!” She kept on ranting and I felt a bit overwhelmed with confusion. “You vanished without a warning. Did you know how worried we all were?” She asked but I

    ~HAILEY~ What the hell was I thinking?! What in the world made me think I could juggle working and studying at the same time?! I swear I would faint if I got there one more time. I barely had time to do anything, and to think I've only been there for a week! “Hailey, come help me off load the new stocks.” Charity, my work colleague called out and I let out a heavy sigh. I couldn't remember the last time I had a goodnight's rest. My weekdays were taken by school and my weekends were taken by work! Even Sundays weren't any exception. “You can quit now before it's too late.” Danzel's words to me on my second day echoed in my mind. I hated that he was so certain I couldn't handle the work. I wanted to prove him wrong, but at this moment, I think I wouldn't mind raising my white flag. “Have you been sleeping well? You have visible eyebags.” Charity pointed out and I let out a frustrated groan as we restocked the shelves with the new products. Today was Saturday, and since I didn't

    ~HAILEY~ The moment my name left his lips, I felt my pent up anger melting away instantly. I mean who cares if he ghosted me, that smile was more than enough to make me forget it all. “Danny!” My happiness was short lived the moment a blonde haired lady ran up to him and engulfed him in a tight hug. “We missed you at the party. I'm hosting another this weekend though. Do you think you can make it?” She asked but all the while, Danzel's gaze was fixated on me, and I found myself not being able to look away. At first I wanted to murder the blondy with my gaze but seeing how Danzel didn't even reciprocate her hug, it reassured me that she wasn't his girlfriend. “I didn't know you attended Bucknell. What a coincidence.” Danzel said to me, his expression blank but his gaze still held mine. I eventually gave up and looked away. Something about the way he stared at me always made me feel weak in the knees. “I didn't know you were an engineering student as well. I guess you're multi ta

    ~HAILEY~ “There you go. All done.” The nurse at the clinic said as she finished wrapping the bandage under my feet. “How long will I stay like this?” I frowned as I stared at my legs. Just when I was finally getting back on my feet, now I will be forced to go back to wheelchair until it's all healed up. “I would say about two weeks. Thankfully the cut wasn't so deep so it shouldn't take too long to heal up.” The nurse responded with a smile and I let out a sigh. “What were you thinking, Hailey? Why would you step on broken glass pieces like that?” Mom scolded. I lowered my gaze. I had no idea what happened. The only thing on my mind was the memory flash I had. Why was I on that bus? Why did only I survive out of everyone on that bus? While I was being wheeled to the clinic, I had done a little digging from the phone on the accident. That's how I found out about everything. Everyone else in that bus had died. “Hailey, are you listening?” Mom's voice pulled me out of my though
