The apprehension of Julian took several weeks, throughout which he lost everything he had, attending to lawsuits and hiring lawyers suits that, of course, he didn't stand a chance of winning. I made certain of that.

Thereafter, I plunged him into prison, although his creditors gambling debts, mind you took their pound of flesh first. During the days that Julian's process unfolded, Miley was absent from the

company. On the first day, I figured she wanted to stay with our kids since they hadn't gone to school either, but the next day, neither she showed up nor did they at school. Miley wasn't at the company either. I couldn't stand it anymore and went to their estate. But, once there, I didn't dare to knock. I retreated and waited for hours upon hours, yet I never caught sight of any of them leaving or entering.

And if they had left? The mere thought shook me to the core had I lost them? How Would | see them now? Even if it was from a distance, finding solace in their proximity co

    Miley POV "Kids, why haven't you gotten up yet? You're going to be late." I entered my children's room, as every morning, but unlike the usual scene where they are both getting ready, they were both still in bed Joe with his glassy little eyes and Kiara, my little one... "Sweetie, what's wrong?" I immediately approached her. Kiara was burning with fever and had a severe cough. Kiara:"I don't feel well, Mummy." Jaden: "I wanted to tell you, but she didn't want me to. Mum, l'm scared." "Don't worry, love, your sister is going to be okay. Go tell Dave to get the car ready; we have to go." Phoebe: "Miss... What's happening?" "Kiara got worse, bring compresses and the medicine from the top drawer; I'm taking her to the hospital." Phoebe: "Why did she relapse?" my brother must have told her how delicate Kiara's condition was, and if this is also a consequence of having a pregnancy in the Sorrowful state it was in.

    Miley POV Until yesterday, I bore the resentment towards the man that had caused me the most pain in my life. Last night, the sense of emptiness grew larger to the point where I went to my children's room, to sleep with them, even though I could not fall asleep. The nightmare was not the usual one; this time Logan was leaving, and I saw him from afar, because my chest hurt from his gaze, and hearing his words echo "| love you" as he walked away. Why won't he leave me in peace? Two days have passed, and those dreams have not left me, and they continue to hurt. Now, I am in the office having dropped my children at the nursery, paying little to no attention to anything. In the last nightmare, Logan was dead, his hands cold and pale, with a tormented expression that I can't shake from my mind. It hurts to even remember it.Dave kept me sane during my workday; he does not know what is happening to me, or at least l like to believe so. However, during the mandatory bre

    Logan After Letting everything go with Miley, things only got worse. The sensation of loss and emptiness is so vast and painful, I don't mind the perpetual ache, provided Miley is safe. I was making foolish mistakes at work, so I went home. Imani: Sir, are you alright? he must have noticed my expression is more terrible than usual. "just need a drink, or two" I can't say l am okay, or it's nothing. I am plagued by issues and I am not okay, but I deserve it. Imani: Did you run here or is your car's air conditioning broken? Why is he asking this? I see no humor in it, and Imani was never one for jokes. His hand reached for my forehead, and I recoiled swiftly. Imani: Eliza! Eliza! the woman arrived at once. Why is this old man causing such a fuss? My head is throbbing. Eliza: Whať's wrong, father-in-law? Imani: Prepare a bath for the master, urgently, he's burning with fever and has a cold sweat, call the doctor as well. "no need for a doctor, Eliza, but I do ne

    Logan's assertion, something I didn't expect, am I not the most aware that Jaden is a wonderful, special child? But how could he know something bad was going to happen to me? I saw Logan stand up and I stopped him. "You're not fully recovered yet, your fever was nearly 104 degrees until recently." (He's still very warm) Logan: I'm fine... he pulled away from my grasp, the moment I focused on the way he held it, Logan: Sorry, I didn't mean to... he'd apologized earlier for touching me, he was helping me, but he continues to apologize, even now when I was the one who approached him, (though it was without thought)Logan: Miley thank you for being here, it truly makes me happy, but you owe me nothing, the last thing I want is to make you feel guilty or worried, my wounds are healed, see? and yes, he's right, there's not a trace left of even the smallest cut, but that happened long ago, what has kept him here, are his fevers and all the rest, and though it's tr

Thus, here I am once again, though I know she's no longer here.My little princess dashed up to greet me. I cherish every one of these fleeting moments. Kiara: are you feeling better, daddy? What's going on? Kiara, do you know who I am? Did Jaden tell you? I glanced at him, but he only shrugged, and I couldn't help but smile. Kiara just called me daddy. "Yes, my princess, I'm feeling much better. How about you? How have you been?" Kiara:I'm happy. Mummy said we can see you, right Jaden? My son confirmed it. So Miley has said I can see them, why the sudden change of heart? Regardless, I am deeply grateful. "Jaden, I know you're still upset with me for all the hardship I caused Miley, but may I give you a hug?"His silence speaks volumes. I don't wish to make him uncomfortable, it's natural, though for now, the relief is in being able to see them. "It's

    Miley POV I often wonder if letting my guard down and letting Logan get close is the right thing to do, but the smile on my children's faces makes it all worth it. Plus, Jaden is suffering because of both of us; I can't keep harboring all this hate and anger. It doesn't matter if it hurts me, but if it harms my baby, that I will not allow. And if Logan needs to be near them to stop feeling the same, then he can come closer.After dropping them off at school in the morning, I went out to buy a few things. It's a surprise; I hope they like it.Dave barely speaks to me anymore. I've already apologized; what else does he want? I can't do much more; maybe things are fine as they are. When I returned to my office, I found a beautiful bouquet of red and white roses. I must admit, it brought back so many happy memories that I couldn't help but smile. It was quite unexpected and sweet, and I originally thought Dave had sent them since he didn't come in with me like he somet

    Miley POV I have an abundance of work and numerous plans with my little ones for this afternoon and the rest of the weekend. I can't simply sit and think alone, doing nothing-the outstanding tasks must be completed. Thankfully, I made significant progress yesterday, leaving almost nothing for today.A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. "Come in." Dave announced, "President Pierce wishes to see you." It's unusual for him not to burst in as he typically does... Now that I consider it, this is the first time he's visiting since he stopped his pursuit over me. "Let him in, Dave, thank you!" Both entered,but Dave didn't assume his usual position; Logan stood quite a distance from me. "What do you need, Mr. Pierce?" His gaze shifted from me to the roses I had already placed in a vase. I could swear he smiled--a surprising gesture that reminded me of Someone... Never mind.Logan stated, "I went to see our children this morning. I assume his pause was to ant

    Logan POV Though the feeling of emptiness and pain within me persists, moments like these gift me with happiness and fortune-a fortune I know I don't deserve, but cannot help but relish in.Miley is right to chide me for my excessive requests. Little does she know, the more I restrain my heart's desires and impulses, the greater my need grows to shield and delight them. Yet, I cannot forget that their joy might require my absence. It pains me to consider, but should my proximity inflict further hurt... I will depart. To what extent must I distance myself to not seem a threat to her? Her fear from that time haunts me, continuing to inflict pain. So, when I see her now, and the urge to draw closer, to simply hold her hand or share a kiss swells-if only I were bolder-it all remains wishful thinking. To Miley, I am the fiend that wrecked her life, a truth I can't alter, notwith standing a thousand lifetimes. I trail her car, yearning to ride alongside her. Shari

    Logan's POV The sound of the helicopter blades whirring above us was deafening, cutting through the silence of the night. I held onto the straps of my seat, feeling the rush of wind and the slight tremor in the aircraft as it veered toward the island. I had no time to waste—Aiden and Nathan were in trouble, and it was up to me to get them out. I wasn’t sure how they had gotten themselves in this mess, but I knew it didn’t matter. They were family now, and I couldn’t let anything happen to them. Not after everything that had happened. I turned to the man beside me, who was checking the weapons and equipment. "Are we clear?" I asked. He nodded, a grim look on his face. "We’re good, sir. The intel says the compound is heavily guarded, but we’ve got the element of surprise on our side." I exhaled sharply, my mind racing with thoughts of Aiden and Nathan. They hadn’t taken their usual precautions, and now they were paying the price. But I would get them out. I had to. No one threate

    Aiden's POV The door swung open again, and the man who entered sent a chill down my spine. His unsteady gait was the first thing that caught my attention—he wasn’t walking like someone in control. He swayed from side to side, his eyes wide and unfocused, a strange, eerie grin plastered across his face. He wasn’t just disturbed; he was high on something, no doubt about it. My pulse quickened as he locked eyes with me. I could see it—the madness, the unstable nature of the man who stood before us. He seemed unpredictable, barely in control of his own movements. But even in this deranged state, there was something terrifying about him. Something dangerous. The door clicked shut behind him, and he smiled—an unsettling, too-wide smile that didn’t match the situation. "You two, huh? Think you’re clever, running away. Trying to escape what’s already written for you?" His voice slurred slightly, but the venom in his words was sharp and clear. Nathan, standing beside me, tensed up, his

    Aiden’s POV The week leading up to our honeymoon had been a whirlwind of wedding celebrations, family gatherings, and finalizing every last detail. Nathan and I were finally able to slip away for a much-needed break. It was the first time in years I’d felt like I could truly breathe, and I intended to make the most of it. The sun was setting as we boarded our private jet, the cabin filled with the soft hum of the engines. Nathan was already reclining in his seat, a peaceful smile on his face, as if he, too, was finally allowing himself to relax. The plan was simple: a secluded island, a luxurious resort, no distractions, no stress. Just us. “Can you believe we’re finally doing this?” Nathan asked, glancing over at me with that familiar grin that made my heart skip a beat. I chuckled, reaching over to take his hand. “I can’t. It feels surreal, like everything is finally falling into place.” As we flew over the ocean, the city lights below slowly faded, and the endless expanse of

    Logan’s POV The day after Aiden and Nathan shared their big news, everything seemed to speed up. Miley and I had barely unpacked from our vacation when we were thrust into the whirlwind of wedding preparations. It felt like everything was happening so fast, but I knew Aiden and Nathan were determined, and honestly, I was excited for them. Their decision to get married so fast didn’t faze me—it felt right, and that was all that mattered. Miley was taking a more practical approach, though. She wasn’t one to go all-out with things like this, so I knew she would help them keep things simple but meaningful. The problem was, Aiden and Nathan were starting to have some of the same ideas—both were perfectionists, and it looked like a grand event was on the horizon. It was the weekend, and Miley and I had just finished breakfast when Aiden called to check in. “Hey, Logan,” Aiden’s voice came through the speakerphone. “Miley around?” “She’s here,” I said, looking over at her as she

    Logan’s POV We had just gotten back from our trip, and I could see how much Miley had relaxed during our time away. The kids were in high spirits, too, still talking about their treehouse adventures, and for the first time in a long while, Miley’s smile seemed genuine. It was like the vacation had given us all a reset we desperately needed. When we pulled into the driveway, I noticed Aiden’s car parked in front of the house. He and Nathan must’ve been waiting for us to get back. I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at the sight. Aiden wasn’t exactly the type to pop over without a reason. “Looks like we have company,” I said to Miley, who was just about to open the door. She gave a small sigh. “I wonder what this is about.” We both got out of the car, and the kids immediately bolted toward the door, eager to tell Aiden and Nathan all about their trip. Miley and I exchanged a look before following them inside. --- Aiden and Nathan were sitting in the living room, talking with th

    Logan’s POV The sun was shining brightly as we arrived at the cabin, and I could already tell the kids were excited. They had been bouncing around in the backseat for the whole drive, asking if we were there yet, if they could run and explore the moment we got out. Miley, on the other hand, seemed quiet, staring out the window, lost in her thoughts. I hoped this trip would give her a much-needed break from everything. The moment we parked, Jaden and Kiara scrambled out of the car, running towards the door of the cabin like it was the best thing they’d seen in ages. Devon followed calmly behind, making sure they didn’t get too far ahead. Miley and I took our time getting out, unloading the bags, but I couldn’t help but notice her mood—still distant, still a little heavy. “Come on,” I said, holding out my hand to her with a grin. “What do you say we get this vacation started?” Miley gave me a small smile, taking my hand. “Alright, alright, let’s get it over with.” But there was s

    Miley stood frozen at the front door, staring at the woman who had once been her mother, the woman who had never once stepped forward in her defense. The room felt suffocating, the weight of the years and all the unspoken words pressing down on her chest. It had been 13 years since she had last seen her mother, and now, after all that time, here she was—standing in her home, asking for forgiveness. Her mother, once vibrant and full of energy, now looked older, tired, and desperate. Her hands trembled as she held them out, as if pleading for Miley’s compassion. “Miley, please… I know I’ve wronged you, but I need you to hear me out. I want to apologize. I know it’s been too long, but I’ve only just come to realize the truth about that night. I was misled, and I was too blind to see what was really happening.” Miley’s heart twisted painfully, but she didn’t allow herself to soften. It had taken her mother over a decade to come to her senses, to even bother to learn what had truly h

    Jaden's POV Mornings in our house are always chaotic. With three kids and two parents who act like they’ve forgotten how chaos works, things get pretty loud. Today was no different—except it was my turn to keep an eye on Devon. At Six years old, he was basically a walking tornado. “Devon! Stop hiding in the laundry basket!” I yelled as Kiara, my twin sister, leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed like she had all the time in the world. “That’s not a good hiding spot,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “He does this every time we’re late.” I leaned over the basket, glaring at the tuft of brown hair sticking out. “Devon, if we’re late for school, Mum and Dad won’t let me play video games for a week. Do you want me to suffer?” “No games for you if we’re late!” Devon shot back, giggling. Kiara smirked. “I told you this was your problem. You’re the one who woke him up early.” I rolled my eyes. “Thanks for nothing, Kiara.” This kid was impossible. After five m

    Logan Indeed, our marriage hasn't seen any pronounced shifts; title or not, my love for her would grow with each passing day.Should there be a distinct difference, it's that her whims and cravings have magnified, paralleling the growth of her belly-we three are delighted to indulge her.
