Believe me, I understand your concerns, but rest assured, I Lucas is fully capable of fulfilling his duties as CEO. And if you have any doubts or questions, I'm always available to answer them," Leon continued, trying to reassure the shareholders.

The shareholders seemed to be collectively taken aback by the sudden change in Lucas's demeanor. However, they didn't bring up the topic of Lucas's supposed hospitalization again. Instead, they went straight into discussing the company's future plans. Leon quickly realized that the shareholders' concerns weren't entirely unfounded. There were a few areas where the company was lacking, and some crucial partnerships were on the verge of collapsing. But Leon was determined to turn things around. He used his vast knowledge of the industry and his expertise in strategic planning to convince the shareholders that the company was on track for long-term success. He also assured them that despite his recent health scare, he was fully committed to th

    At the hospitalElena stood up from her seat and took a deep breath. The dimly lit hospital waiting room felt eerily quiet, with only the occasional sound of a nurse's footsteps or the distant beep of a heart monitor filling the air. The scent of antiseptic lingered, adding to the somber atmosphere. As she headed towards the doctor's office, her nerves began to fray. Her palms were sweaty, and her heart was racing with anxiety. She couldn't believe she was about to do this, but she knew it was the only way. When she entered the doctor's office, she didn't bother with greeting pleasantries. She simply sat down in the chair across from him and placed her bag on the table. She pulled out a check and slid it towards him. The doctor's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he read the amount. It was a substantial sum, and he couldn't understand why Elena would offer it to him. "Please, what is this check for?" he asked, his gaze meeting hers. Elena took a deep breath before answering, determina

    Author POV Sophia's eyes followed Adam's brisk pace as he walked towards the exit. She observed the group's movements and body language, the tension between Leon and Adam causing a palpable discomfort in the cramped emergency ward. The hospital's harsh lighting glared off the walls, casting shadows on the faces of the people in the room, accentuating the weight of their expressions. The smell of disinfectant lingered in the air, almost suffocating at times, as hospital personnel moved around them, working to save lives. Sophia's heart tumbled in her chest as she watched the actions of her friends. She wished she could intervene and alleviate the situation, to restore the peace that they all needed. But she kept quiet, knowing that one wrong move could spark further tension. Though she remained silent, her gaze flitted from person to person, studying their body language and facial expressions. She took in each detail, trying to understand the weight of the situation. "Because I am t

    Lucas POV I woke up from a coma, and after a few days, I was happy to be back with my family. It felt great to be included in their lives again. It felt even better to see the progress my team had made in my absence. I couldn't stop raving about the new developments, particularly Leon's contributions. For the first time in my life, I felt proud of him. "I am so impressed; I never knew he could do that. That's a good sign that he's a changed guy," I said, my smile widening. Adam, my best man, didn't seem convinced. "I don't know, but I doubt it. I've seen too much of his past to believe he's truly changed. Let's hope I'm wrong." Despite Adam's doubts, I was willing to give Leon the benefit of the doubt. I believed that he could leave his past behind, and that he had the potential to become a better person. I was determined to show him that he still had my trust, even if we weren't on good terms. "What if that's not true, do you think he will want to go back to that type of life?

    Few days laterSophia was driving down the street on her way to an important meeting when suddenly, another car cut her off. She slammed on the breaks, honking her horn angrily. She could feel her heart racing as the other car swerved dangerously close to hers. She looked over and saw Elena behind the wheel, her expression unapologetically angry. Sophia felt a wave of frustration wash over her. She had no time for this. Without thinking, she rolled down her window and called out to Elena who was busy glaring at her. "Hey, what the hell was that? You almost hit me!" Elena scowled back at her, her eyes filled with venom. "I had the right of way, you idiot!" she shouted in response. Sophia gritted her teeth. She couldn't believe Elena attitude. She had clearly cut her off, and now she had the audacity to blame Sophia for the near-miss. She decided to take a stand. She got out of her car and walked over to Elena's vehicle, rapping loudly on the hood. "You need to learn how to drive," s

    Stephen walked with his group of friends back from the lecture, chuckling as he made fun of one of them. "Get out, guy, you are afraid to tell the girl you love her. Just accept it, you aren't manly enough. That dinner date was just a waste of time," he teased. All of them erupted in laughter, except for the unfortunate recipient of the sharp jab. The atmosphere was jovial between them as they continued to chat amiably, reminiscing about old times. As they walked, Stephen's eyes scanned the environment until he spotted Elena in the distance. He was taken aback for a moment and wondered why she was there. "What's she doing here?" he muttered under his breath, his forehead creased with concern. Stephen pretended he hadn't seen her, but Elena waved at him, pleasantly surprising him. "Is she here for me?" he wondered, pursing his lips thoughtfully and making a conscious effort not to overreact. But he couldn't deny the feeling of annoyance that washed over him as he remembered what s

    "Ah, Sophia. So glad you could join us. And with my man too, how lovely," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Sophia's anger boiled inside her, but she tried to remain calm. "What do you want, Elena? Why are you doing this?" Elena laughed coldly. "Oh, Sophia. You really don't get it, do you? You've always pretend to be naive. I want what you have. I want my man back." Lucas couldn't believe what she was hearing. He had known Elena for years, and he never thought she would stoop this low. "You're insane," she said through gritted teeth. Elena walked forward, the gun still in her hand. "I'm not insane, Sophia. I'm a survivor. And if that means getting rid of a few people along the way, so be it." Lucas stepped forward, his fists clenched with anger. "You're not getting away with this. Let Stephen go, and we can work something out." Elena laughed again. "Oh, I don't think so, Sophia. You see, I have a way of getting what I want, and I always get what I want." Lucas looked at E

    ""Regret, huh! Did I hear you say regret? I guess you must be mad in the head. You will be the one to regret everything. For the first time in my life,you made me regret ever knowing you. You are deceiving yourself by thinking you can get me back like this. There's nothing you can do that can make me come back to you." He gritted his teeth, anger filling his voice."Then I will seduce you; I will do anything in my power to make you mine, Lucas. I love you, and I don't want to live without you. Just forget that she ever existed." Lucas eyed her with suspicion, his deep brown eyes piercing through her soul. His jaw tensed, his nostrils flaring as he struggled to control his emotions. His gaze flickered across the room, not wanting to look at Elena. He thought carefully about his next words, his mind racing with anger and betrayal. "You think seducing me will make everything alright? That all the hurt and pain I feel will just disappear? You are delusional," he sneered, his words cold a

    Lucas shook his head and let out a sigh. "I don't think it's that simple, Lucas. She's scared and confused, and I don't blame her. That woman has been trying to ruin our relationship for months now, and I can see the toll it's taking on Sophia." "I understand, but you can't give up. You love her, right? And she loves you too, I can see it in her eyes. You just have to give her time and be patient. She'll come around eventually," Stephen said reassuringly. Lucas nodded, feeling a bit better. "Thanks, man. I appreciate it. I just don't want to lose her, you know? She's everything to me." "I know, and you won't lose her. Trust me on this. Now, let's go get some drinks and take your mind off things for a while," Stephen said, smiling. Lucas couldn't help but smile too. Maybe it was going to be okay after all."But wait, you're gonna drink with this hand? Aren't you feeling any pain?" Lucas asked concerned and Stephen chuckled."Did you think I'll be here with you if I am in pain? The

    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."

    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?"

    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

    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?"
