Nathan POV

No matter how I try to reach him, he never answers the phone, hasn't been to the offices, and I've postponed my return overseas because I need him to reconsider.

Years ago, when Aiden drunkenly admitted he had feelings for me, I didn’t give it much thought; still, 5 years on, nothing has improved.

And I guess the fact that I confessed my feelings to Miley hasn’t helped matters either.

He becomes more of a stranger to me by the day, and now I realize I know absolutely nothing about him. I don’t know who his friends are, his favorite places—nothing. Which is why, four days since that call, I haven’t been able to find him.

Damn it, Aiden, when will you stop being my worry and making me work overtime? I’m furious I won’t let him give up, not ever.

Logan POV

    Miley POV; Today, my little ones started kindergarten. I was more nervous and worried than they were. Jaden: Don't worry, I'll take care of Kiara,Mum. "I know you will, Jaden. You're so dependable. Just try not to get into trouble, okay?" Jaden: Yes, Mum. Kiara: Bye, Mummy. Will you come for us? "Of course, my princess." There may be days when I can't come, but for now, they are my top priority. Kiara: Mummy? Is it true that Dad lives here? That question hit me out of the blue. Perhaps I'm misreading everything, but they stopped asking about that person after they turned five. "Which Dad are you talking about, Kiara?" Jaden gave his sister a look I'd rarely seen; he was angry. Had they been talking about this? Kiara: Sorry, Jaden, but I do want to meet my daddy. "Kids, who told you this?" Jaden: I heard you the other day talking to Grandpa. You said you didn't want to come back here because he was here. I remembered that conversation; it was over a year ago whe

    Miley POV | took a deep breath, standing in front of his office, with Dave remaining by the door ready to assist if needed. I entered; he wasn't seated in his usual chair but was leaning casually against his desk. This posture lent him an air of elegance and severity that unnerved me. Logan: "that night you said... "- just hearing the start of that sentence stripped away my resolve and my intention to keep that day buried in my memory. Instead, all the emotions I've battled for years came flooding back, along with the anger and hatred I harbored for this man. "I have no interest in discussing that. If you didn't come here on business, goodbye." I turned to leave. Logan: "I want to know if what you said about being innocent is true... Were you the one who planted that drug?

    Aiden POV "So, my only two options are surgery or waiting for my death? Okay, let's do it." Doctor: "Do you understand the risks involved with this procedure, Mr.?" "Yes, you've repeated them enough. I'm fully aware of everything. Please, proceed." Doctor: "It's important for patients to have someone with them during these types of procedures, in case of any complications." "No, there's no one. My instructions are clear. Only if this doesn't work out whether I die or something else happens can they call him. Doctor: "Are you certain?" "Yes, very certain." Doctor: "Alright then." It's strange having so much free time.

I found myself outside a specialized clinic, questioning the accuracy of the address,yet the moment I provided our names at reception, I was given a room number, and a nurse Was promptly asked to escort me there. "It's great that Mr. Hales had a change of heart. The surgery is high-risk, and mental and emotional stability are crucial factors. With your support, it will be much easier for him."

    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 ja

    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 som

    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
