Author POV"Logan, you can't do this to me; what have I done to deserve this? I have always loved you; so, why do you choose to divorce me because of that low-life girl?" Mrs. Logan glared at her, his eyes brimming with anger. Leon walked in, pondering what was happening with his parents."You keep calling her a lowlife, is it a crime she wasn't born with a sliver spoon like you are? You keep making her life miserable; Emma told me everything after I threatened her. firstly, you killed the lawyer fighting her case when she was raped by your son; you tried all your possible best to make sure you separated them, when you couldn't, you sent someone to kill her, but your son got shot instead. Why do you keep doing this? " he demanded, his husky voice echoing in the air."I thought you would change your ways, but you keep getting worse." I can't take it anymore. You destroyed him, and now that he's finally becoming a responsible person, I won't have you ruin him again." Mrs. Logan looks we
Sophia's heart ached as she listened to her so called daughter's words. She had been dreading this conversation, knowing that Ava was too young to understand the complexity of her and her her father situation. She took a deep breath and tried to explain as best as she could. "Ava, sweetie, it's not that simple. Your father and I have some issues that we need to work through before we can think about living together again." "But you love each other, right? That should be enough," Ava persisted. Sophia struggled to find the words. "Love isn't always enough, darling. We need to make sure that we can trust each other and have a healthy relationship before we can even think about living together again." Ava was quiet for a moment, digesting what Sophia had said. "Okay, I understand. But please, mom, promise me that you'll work it out. I just want us to be a family." Sophia's heart broke at the sincerity in Ava's voice. "I promise, sweetie. Your father and I will do our best to work th
A few hours laterSophia was with her family having lunch; she had called her office earlier to say that she wouldn't be able to show up at work for some reason. She decided to stay home with them just in case Elena shows up from nowhere. She will have to pass by her to get to them, and she's ready to bring her down no matter what. She has informed the cops, and they told her to calm down as they will work on it. So she was expecting their call. She couldn't stop staring at the phone every minute, but it seems she will have to wait until eternity as she isn't getting any calls after several hours. Making her impatient, she's on the edge of giving up when her phone beeps. Some anticipation built in her as she picked up without checking the caller ID."Hello, is there any progress?" Her voice comes out sharper than usual, and she's determined to bring her down no matter what comes her way."So you have guts." She didn't understand what was going on and checked her caller to see if it wa
Her mother nodded in understanding. "I see where you're coming from, dear. Family comes first. But don't you think it's better to settle things with him so there won't be any unfinished business?" "I understand your point, Mum, but I'll rather not talk to him right now. I need to concentrate on making sure we're comfortable in the new house and work on getting a good job to support us. I don't want any distractions." Stephen listened intently, his heart feeling heavy for his sister. He knew she was going through a tough time, but he was proud of her for putting their family first. He cleared his throat, wanting to speak up. "Sophia, I'm proud of you for the sacrifices you're making for us. I promise to work hard and support you with whatever I can." Sophia smiled at him, feeling grateful for her brother's assurance. "Thank you, Stevo. We'll get through this together." Their mother chimed in, "That's right, we'll always have each other's backs. Now, let's start unpacking and make
"Sophia, what are you doing in this neighborhood?" Leon asked, trying to satisfy his curiosity."Do you really need to ask her this instead of helping her up?" Ramona hissed, giving him the hatred look, full of aggression and anger."He doesn't have to do that; I can stand up myself." Sophia struggles to get up, her arm strained."I think you should always look out for where you are going. You don't own the land, so be careful how you walk on it." Ramona gave him negative energy, not ready to create any friendly atmosphere."I didn't do that on purpose, I am not as cruel as you thought, and if I wanted to hurt someone down, it's probably not Sophia." Leon tried to explain, but it wasn't convincing enough. "Huh! I will say you said so; what do you have to give others if not pain?" Ramona bawled, giving him an eyeroll. When Sophia couldn't cope with the argument, she stepped forward."Leon, you can go. Ramona, we are about to leave, aren't we? So let us leave already." Ramona glared at
Sophia narrowed her eyes at Lucas, skepticism etched on her features. She couldn't believe that he was trying to play dumb after showing up at her doorstep. "I don't get you, what are you talking about? Why are you trying to contradict your own words?" Sophia asked with a deep frown. Lucas's expression turned apologetic as he realized he was fumbling with his words. "Sorry, my bad. I just want you to be rest assured that I am not here for you," he clarified. "I know it won't be easy for you to see me here every day, but it wasn't my fault. I never knew you stayed here. I just decided to leave the house since my ex-fiance won't allow me to be there." Sophia was still skeptical of Lucas's explanation, but the aroma of freshly baked pizza wafted towards her, and her stomach rumbled in response. Ramona, had always warned her about the bad luck that came with not sharing food with your neighbors, when you newly packed him, was that what Lucas was trying to do?. Lucas must have picked up
"Ahhh, I feel like sleeping," she muttered out of her doziness, her words slurring slightly as she yawned tiredly. Managing to move her feet, they felt leaden, too heavy to lift, and for a moment she almost stumbled, nearly falling to ground, but a hand gripped her arm tightly, holding her up. Leaning into the touch, she held onto him tightly, her body swaying slightly as she struggled to stay upright. Lucas gazed down at her with a mixture of sadness and pity in his eyes. He had never expected to see his girlfriend in such a state, completely drunk and trying to escape from their relationship. He had come to find her, determined to make things right between them, to make sure she was his no matter what it took. Sophia tried to stand steady, but her balance was off, and she couldn't quite manage it. Lucas made sure to hold her tightly, worried that she would fall and hurt herself. As they looked at each other, they both felt the pain of their relationship hanging in the air between t
"Aren't you okay with your girlfriend? So staring at someone's boyfriend is a bad habit," he continued, hanging up his damp towel. Momentarily breaking away from his gaze, he asked, "How was it? Did you succeed in speaking with the manager?" Lucas chuckled and made his way to the freezer, answering her question on the way. "I dropped the idea; if I ask him to sack her, what will she do? You know she will refuse to take any job coming from me; I don't want to add to her pain." Pausing briefly to take a deep breath, he continued, "I will rather make sure she's not alone instead of letting her blame herself for losing her job, even though I am not pleased with her working at the club, but I still think I should stay out of that for now. We need to sort things out first." Finished with his monologue, he chugged down the remaining juice in his hand before his throat called out for more. Heading back towards the freezer, he grabbed two bottles this time, his mind already focused on the ne

A few days laterLucas private captain announced the arrival of the plane at the new york city. Lucas and Sophia smiled at each other as they walked hand in hand out of the plane. A car was already waiting; Lucas led her into the car by opening the passenger door, leaving the driver to go get their luggage."You owned this car too?" she asked, just wanting to be sure. "Well! I do; you know I am freaking rich," he said arrogantly."Don't try to be pompous, Mr. Owner." They both smiled at the joke. He went into the car from the other side."Sir, it's been a while since you've been here; it's good seeing you again." His driver said, and he scoffed."Yes, I have been busy with work. How's everything here in New York?" He asked, trying to start a discussion."It's cool, sir; we've been pushing through." He replied, focusing on the road. They discuss some random things and also crack jokes with them, making the drive to the Logan house a smooth one.Getting to the house, Sophia saw the mar
Sophia came to their house to give them the news about her and Lucas going on a trip. She can't wait to announce that news to her family, but coming there, she saw Stephen dressing."Hey! "Are you going to school today, and what's the time?" Sophia asked, wondering why Stephen was dressing up really hot. Is he trying to impress someone?"Did I look cute? Please be serious," he asked, waiting for her reply. "Why are you dressing up so serious? Are you going to a party?" she asked, and Stephen chuckled softly."I guess the problem I have with you is that you ask questions a lot. Well! Today is Natalie's birthday, so I promise to take her around. Tell me where you can take a girl so as to make them happy?" he asked, waiting to hear from Sophia, who was just staring at her. She had come to express her happiness, but he's here playing a lover boy."Take her to hellfire; that's where girls love." She said with a slight hint of jealousy in her voice."Are you jealous that my son is now goin
Two Months Later"So where did you say we are going to?" Sophia looked up at Lucas with a bright smile, ready to go anywhere with him. Lucas pretended to be in deep thought, rubbing his chin before flashing his trademark smirk. The sun was shining down on them, casting a warm glow on the couple as they chatted. "I don't know for now," Lucas said coyly, watching as Sophia rolled her eyes but in a playful way. Sophia stepped closer to Lucas, narrowing her eyes slightly. "Tell me where we are going to when I am being nice," she teased. Lucas continued to hold back the surprise, delighted by Sophia's playful demeanor. "It's a surprise," he finally relented. "It's good to have some alone time to ourselves. Ava is with her grandmother, so I don't think we'll have any disturbances. Let's spend three days in another country. I promise to only think of you." A gentle breeze picked up and the surrounding trees rustled slightly in agreement with Lucas' romantic plan.Sophia's face lit up wit
"You don't have to worry, sweetheart; mom will be okay." He reassured her and sniffled."Should I come over? I want to see her?" She asked, her tone filled with worry."No, stay there. I will come get you soon," Lucas's voice strains through the phone."Okay, dad, I wished Mom a quick recovery." She prayed, her voice low. The call ended, and Lucas dipped the phone into his pocket. He went closer to the bed and sat on the edge, caressing Sophia's face.The hospital counterStephen and Kingsley rushed into the hospital and rushed to the counter, breathing heavily, their faces full of worries. They looked around but couldn't find Lucas."Please, my sister, where's she?" She was rushed here, and my brother in-law called to inform me that she needed a donor. I am here; can you take my blood sample?" He spoke sharply, his voice laced with concerns for her sister."What's your sister's name, and which ward?" The nurse in charge asked."Her name is Sophia Owen, but we didn't know her ward. We
She took the phone closer to ear immediately she clicked on the answer button. "Nice hearing your voice. I couldn't fathom that you're calling me personally. That's strange. Anyway, what did you call me for?" She said the last sentence sarcastically. Lucas was yelling at her end, and she could sense him boiling in anger right now. She burst into laughter before hearing his voice again. "Elena, where the hell did you put my child? Where's my child?" "This is kinda funny, I don't know how you got my number, I thought you don't have my number," she replied, "Anyway, she's also my child. Why are you panicking? Are you afraid I might hurt her? If you're afraid, yes, I can hurt her," she added. "No, Elena, you can't do that. She's your child, your blood." Lucas pledged and Elena scoffed at Lucas' words."Blood? I don't know why weak people like you believe you can't hurt your blood. I can hurt her, she's nothing to me," she said. "What did you want from me, Elena?" Lucas asked, In a n
FlashbackSophia was about getting to the school when a car crushed hers. "What the fuck" She cussed and get down the car to check who the hell did that. The person whined down the glass and it turned out to be Elena. A sinister grin played by her lips as she stepped down the car. She folded her hands together and put it on her breast, she slammed the door with her legs her body rested on her car. Sandra step down from the other side of the car. "You evil Lady, where have you being hiding? And what's your motive for showing up here?. I guess you must want to kill me right?" Her voice filled with rage, glaring aggressively at her, her teeth gritted her eyes shallow on her. "You know what, I love to see people like you brag, empty vessel" She laughed sarcastically."If you were so bold enough, you shouldn't have hid. You should have come out bitter soul" She confronted her, her chest boiling in rage, as their gaze meet.. Elena was already losing it, she clenched her fist, her eyes b
"Going to get Elena, she can't escape this, she dare killed my child, she'll regret ever crossing my path" Mrs. Logan speaks with a fierce determination. Her words are filled with anger and hatred towards Elena. ***** Elena and Sandra make a grand entrance into a club, where the music is booming and the atmosphere is lively. The club is filled with excitement and energy, and Elena appears to be basking in the thrill of it. Sandra is by her side. They came to celebrate."Did you think Leon will be dead by now?" Sandra's voice struggled to be heard above the music and din in the club as she asked Elena a question. Elena asked her to speak louder. "Did you think Leon will be dead by now?" Sandra shouted. Elena nods her head without a hint of pity on her face, "Sure, Leon can't be alive, he is gone," she replied, with a touch of amusement in her voice. They exited the club each holding a cigarette. As they walked, "What's your next plan, Elena?" Sandra asked and Elena replied with a
Lucas darted to his parked car as fast as he could. His heart pounded against his chest as he flung open the back door and carefully lowered his brother, Leon, on the seat. Without a moment's hesitation, Lucas jumped into the driver's seat, revved the engine and peeled out of the parking lot, breaking every traffic law in his way. The screeching of tires and sudden jolt of every sudden stop echoed through the empty road as he sped towards the hospital. He didn't even bother to park the car properly when he arrived, instead, he leapt out and sprinted towards the entrance, holding Leon's limp body in his arms. "Doctor! My brother must come out alive!" Lucas's voice broke as tears streamed down his face. The nurses whisked Leon away from him, rushing him to the available wards as Lucas and the rest of the Logan family followed closely behind. "Are you sure my son will be fine?" Lucas's mother broke down in tears, collapsing onto the cold, hard floor. Her hand clutched her forehead as
