Miley POV I leaned on my desk, trying to calm down and suppress this inexplicable sense of elation that hadn't dissipated since I walked in. Dave: Miley, I need to talk to you. -I remember he wanted to tell me something yesterday. l'd prefer to be alone right now, yet I can't ignore the chance that Logan might burst in... "Yes, what is it you wanted to say?" Dave: I'm leaving! I'Il speak to your brother about finding a replacement. I'm resigning. -ls this about what happened? It's Logan's fault. "Dave, I'm sorry for what that lunatic did to you, and.." Dave: It's not about that. I should have done this a long time ago but... -Clearly, it does have something to do with it; he wouldn't choose now, after Logan's office incident, under normal circumstances. "I know it's related. If you were leaving on your own terms, I wouldn't have said a word, wishing you the best. But I know that..." Dave: So, if I said this yesterday, you wouldn't have tried to stop me? "Of course no
Logan POV. I was exasperated when Miley ushered me out of her office; she didn't believe a word I said. Even if she did know, it was gutsy of me to say it. Then there was the confession that remained lodged in my throat-not what she wanted to hear, and I had sworn to myself to bury these feelings, so I wouldn't have divulged them anyway. As my door swung open, despite not doing anything noteworthy (though work was piled high), I was set to berate whoever dared to interrupt me, but it was her.Miley: Ready to go? -my expression must have given me away, I mean I'm thrilled she's here, but did we have plans? Impossible, I would never have forgotten. "Ready for what? "She smirked as she surveyed my pose. Had she noticed my inactivity?Miley: The twins are done with school and they've asked to see you. If you don't wish to or can't make it, I'|| let them know. -I sprang up immediately; of course, I wanted to see them. Now I felt like | could do it, and I missed them too, but
Miley POV The evening and the night had been incredible, even though it was about to end.Logan said he would leave at 8:30 PM when the children went to sleep, and that time was drawing near. The rain hadn't let up at all, but the way we were huddled on the huge blanket, wrapped up, we didn't feel the chill from outside. Sara had just brought us hot chocolate, and it was delicious. Kiara had asked for more, so I stood up to get it for her. "Here you go, sweetie, but you can't have any.." Kiara and Jaden: "Shhh, Dad's asleep, Mummy' My goodness, this man fell asleep so quickly. He did look tired, but now what am I supposed to do?Kiara and Jaden are helping him lie down completely; he must be uncomfortable in that position. "We should wake your father up so he can go home." Kiara: "But he's already asleep, he can stay, right, Mummy?" "Sweetheart, we can't let him sleep here; it's more comfortable if he goes to his place." There are spare rooms, but is it
Miley POV I've been finalizing pending tasks - I haven't taken my eyes off the computer screen since I arrived at the office. The stress is getting to me, considering the sheer volume of work, but I was the one who assured everyone I could handle it - all for Aiden's recovery. His convalescence seems to be progressing well, according to what Nathan told me. He also assured me that once Aiden is completely healed, they'll come for a visit. I'm eager to see them, to embrace Aiden. I have no intention of telling him about Dave; it's been many days since he left, and I prefer things as they are now.Logan: Enough work, it's time to eat. - In a recent turn of events over these past few days, I managed to get a sitter. I can't believe Kiara and Jaden did this to me. After Logan caught me feeling unwell due to poor nutrition and stress, about a week ago he became my sitter, and when I tried to object, Kiara and Jaden sided with him. They insisted I should let their dad take
Logan POV Our journey was not one for many words; Miley appeared deep in thought, occasionally glancing my way while I kept a steady focus on the steering wheel. I could sense her nervousness, and as long as she wasn't feeling uneasy, all seemed well. We had arrived before she even noticed; I got out and opened the door for her. "Welcome, Your Excellency," I said. She looked around, realizing it was her home. Miley exclaimed, "That was quick!" as she stepped out and walked ahead of me. By the time l entered, the twins were already swarming her. "Father, you came!" Kiara beamed as I lifted her into my arms. "I've missed you both so much" I declared, moving to Jaden and lifting him as well. He likely wanted to resist but instead just hugged me. "How was school?" I couldn't help but smile, and Miley and I asked the twins at the same time; he returned the smile. Jaden said, "It was good, but Myron is sad." "What's wrong with him?" Miley asked.Kiara revealed, "He misses his
Logan POV. After a day full of movement and play, Jaden and Kiara fell asleep earlier than usual; understandable since they were exhausted,and I had kept my word to put them to bed this time, but I needed to leave. Miley: Thanks for today. I was planning on just staying home, but you brought some fun into the mix. "I'm glad you and the twins liked it, and about yesterday.." Miley: Oh, speaking of which, I looked over the documents you left. - didn't mean those documents, but Miley seems uninterested in discussing the other matter. "And?" Miley: I didn't sign them. -Does she mean to refuse? Miley: It's not that I want to stop you from doing this for them, I just prefer that you handle it. "'So, you want me to manage it?" Miley: Who better? You're their father and one of the most successful businessmen around. No one else can look after their interests like you. -l have no argument there, but I thought she'd be pleased to manage it herself. Miley: If I have to attend
Miley POV. The persistent ringing of my phone forced my eyes open. "Hello?" Nathan: "Miley, did I wake you? I'm sorry, it's just... I've just gone through the paperwork you sent, and it's incredible! How did you manage it? You even fixed the error I had found in the new executive's report. -What was Nathan talking about? Just moments ago I was about to start... It's 8 in the morning! I leaped out of bed; it was far too late. How did | end up in my room? The last thing I remember was conversing with Logan outside the twins' room. Did | fall asleep and he carried me here? I should have woken up instead of... Wait a minute... I returned to the call."You mentioned I sent you paperwork?"Nathan: "Yes, I got the email at 3:40 AM. You must have worked hard. Don't worry, from now on you'll resume your usual duties. I might ask for your help with minor things occasionally, and that's all."-Ah, he did say the new executives would be chosen this week."I don't mind helping. How is Aiden
Logan: She's not dead-I hope! Then I could keep believing that... Forget it.. She left Myron and Imani because she found her soulmate, and he's not ready for kids yet. "What did you say?" "How could she do something like that? She's everything to Myron. But I'm worried about Logan's reaction. I know how volatile he can be." "Logan, what have you done?" Logan: Nothing that I wanted to do. I let her go-said she was leaving the country. I told her she'd regret it if she came back. I informed Imani, he still doesn't know what to tell Myron; he can't stop asking about her. "At least he's calmed down now." "| don't understand-how can they do that? If my soulmate appeared and told me I had to leave my children for him, he'd get more than a slap in the face." Logan: Rejecting Someone you love isn't easy- apparently, the love is so strong it overrides everything else. "But nothing can replace my love for my children. Secondly, that kind of love doesn't interest me. La
The little ones were in their room playing when suddenly one of them froze. Jaden: Kiara?? Kiara: I'm okay, it barely hurts. Jaden: Liar, I know it does, I'm going to tell them. -the younger one walked towards their room's door, but his sister stopped him. Kiara: You can't, if you tell them, Mummy will get mad at dad again and it'll be your fault. Jaden: I don't want them to fight, but you're not okay... Kiara: It almost doesn't hurt anymore, you said someone is coming to help me. Jaden: But it's been so many days and they're not here, I don't want you getting sick anymore, Kiara - it was as if Jaden could also feel the pain his sister was enduring, which is why he was so worried,but he had promised not to say anything, and since his dreams told him someone was coming to help her, they waited, and waited, but it was going to be a week since Kiara's medicine was having practically no effect, and that person had not appeared. Kiara: I know, just 2 more days, you're never
Logan POV I rose before anyone else, faithful to my usual routine that I had slightly let slip away. Miley lay peacefully sleeping. I planted a kiss on her, admiring how beautiful the engagement ring looked on her finger, yearning to soon make her my wife at the earliest. There was a touch of sadness in discovering the pregnancy test was negative, but there's always later. We want more children, and l'm eagerly looking forward to it. I went to wake the twins for school.But upon opening the door, I found Jaden seated, embracing Kiara. My little princess seemed to be caught in a nightmare, drenched in sweat. Jaden's face wasn't calm either, prompting me to rush to her side, filled with concern. "Princess, you're burning up." Jaden: Her throat hurts!- Kiara gestured, confirming what Jaden had said was true. "It might be an infection. Are you okay?" Jaden: Yes, I was about to call you. "I know you're a good brother. You took good care of her. Princess, we're going to
Miley POV A few days have passed, and Logan ceased inquiring about my troubles. Yet, I cannot bring myself to speak of it to him, not without blaming him to some degree... I desire for my mind to grasp what my heart already comprehends. Logan couldn't have known, so it wasn't truly his fault, yet it's not that simple. And since I don't want to hurt him with my words or actions, I choose silence. However, I know I must tell him, for Kiara is his daughter as well, and deserves to know what's happening. But how do I convey it? It's been two weeks now, Nathan and Aiden have returned. They said they'd be back Soon. Logan and I, we are not on the best of terms; as long as I am mute, it's hard to be fully comfortable in our meetings, yet I miss him so much... Logan: Miley, darling what's wrong -I hadn't even noticed his arrival, it's truly challenging. I embraced him; it feels incredible to be enveloped by his scent again. "I've missed you." Logan: Are you going to keep avoid
Logan POV Our magical day is drawing to a close. We went out for dinner after Miley insisted she was completely fine. I knew that wasn't entirely true, but she wanted us to go, so all three of us agreed. I didn't want her to think that her condition had prevented me from fully enjoying my birthday. Well, the plan wasn't completely successful. I have Miley sitting on our bed with an expression I truly dislike. According to her, it's because if she had known I was coming, they would have prepared everything for a perfect birthday. "The truth is, Miley, from the first moment you gave me the best birthday gift of my life!" Miley: I didn't do anything. I only wished you happy birthday in the morning when you woke me up, remember? Well, I did it while you were sleeping, but you didn't hear it." I moved closer to her, placing my hands on the bed. "In fact, I did hear it. But since I didn't think you knew what day it was, I ignored it. Besides, everything I wanted was right bef
Miley POV "Good morning, love" the gentle touches on my face and the delicious scent enveloping me made me smile-it really was true. Logan and I were now totally united. "Good morning!" I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. I vividly remembered that after the night's events, Logan had helped me get dressed, and I had then fallen into a deep sleep. Logan: Here's your breakfast. You must be starved. "I am hungry, but I wanted to make you something special since it's your birthday today."He looked at me, clearly surprised. Logan: The twins came in earlier too and wished me a happy birthday.-" Mr. Imani told us... Happy birthday, love."I kissed him, and he responded with the gentlest smile l'd ever seen, wrapping me in a tight embrace. He's like a child in that moment. What expression will he have when I give him his gift? I hope he likes it. "Has no one ever wished you a happy birthday before?" Logan: Well, yes, but never before by the three people I love an
None of what happened previously explains why our stunning men are furious, well.. It's not all sweetness and roses in paradise, and anything left unresolved can turn into a big problem. After grabbing a bite at a food stall - they couldn't spare time for more - they felt it was the best meal they'd had in ages. They went back to Nathan's apartment, and although there were more kisses, caresses, and wild actions, they just slept embraced and not quite fully clothed. The next morning, at 10 o'clock, Nathan was the first to wake up. He was thrilled; it.hadn't been a dream, Aiden was his, or atleast he hadn't seemed to mind that part of him... But just showing him the most "normal" of his repressed fantasies and desires, Nathan wondered if Aiden would stay after discovering everything else, which was his persistent doubt. He has a particularly strong desire for dominance... The allure of combining pleasure with pain. What would Aiden's expression be if he woke up now...
Nathan gifted him a fervent kiss and slid his hand beneath the other's clothing. He wasted no time. His fingers, already slick with some sort of lubricant, began to ease their way inside the smaller man. It was painful, it was unfamiliar, but it was also thrilling. He had never done this before, but hell, it felt even hotter than when he was the one in control. Nathan withdrew his fingers at the sound of his cell phone. Nathan: Blast it, I forgot... -he whispered into Aiden's ear, who was wondering what was going on. Nathan: Be a good boy and wait for me here while I make a call.. -It must be a joke, Aiden thought, but then he felt the other's body rise from the bed. "Don't you dare... Ahhh, damn it!'A surge of pleasure shot through him. He got it, that madman had slipped something inside himjust before removing his fingers. He heardNathan's laughter followed by him drawingcloser.Nathan: I told you to behave. The vibrator is only on medium setting, but you're making such
Why was he still so angry? He had already told him that he had no interest in that girl. If he wanted to know how much he cared, it was obviously too much; he felt incredibly stupid and pathetic. He just wanted to leave, but Nathan kept holding him so tightly. Was it really necessary for him to cling that close to him? The door swung open, and he was pushed inside the dark room. The grip on his arm loosened, and he took the chance to break free. He could barely see anything, only their outlines were barely discernible, but he could clearly feel the other's furious gaze on him.He didn't want to be there. He felt wounded and annoyed. If this went on, things would indeed end badly. He made for the exit, navigating around the other person, barely grazing the doorknob before he was attacked again, this time even stronger than before. He had always thought Nathan appeared a bit wild deep down, but behaving like this over a Woman... And what if she wasn't just an
Days Earlier with Aiden Weeks after the altercation between Aiden and Nathan, and since the latter had left without a word and without showing up for a single day, Elian decided he would just let everything be; that's why he didn't bother trying to reach out to him. He had discharged himself from the clinic a few days ago, convinced he was ready to return. Even though Miley told him it was okay if he couldn't make it to the twins' birthday, he had no intention of staying locked up there any longer - that was one of the reasons he had requested his discharge. He felt perfect, with the doctors themselves astonished at his recovery; nevertheless,they wanted to continue doing their unnecessary analyses and tests. He felt more like a captive guinea pig than a special patient. He was already at the apartment he had chosen for himself from the beginning, which he never managed to use. First and foremost, he needed to see the world outside; it felt like an eternity since he'd b
