Author POVAt a restaurant"You don't mean all this is happening,oh my goodness, what are you going to do now?" Ramona was amused after Sophia explained the whole scenario to her. "You aren't surprised has I was. I was just putting on some courage" she said, pouring some wine into the cup. "I don't think you have to be worried, Lucas loves you now and not her, so why are you sad? You should be happy" Ramona said, trying to bring out some courage in her. "You don't understand, do you? She's his childhood love, but we aren't even up to a year," she said with teary eyes. "Awww, I can see someone's heart aching. This is really the sign of true love. Don't worry, Lucas can't let go like that, he's someone you can trust" Ramona tries to persuade her. "They had a child together, that is enough reason to bring them back." She said, and gulped down another cup of wine. "Hey! Don't overthink it, I thought you loved and trusted Lucas so much that you should be there with him through this r
Lucas dialed Elena's number and waited for her to pick up. His heart was racing, and he wasn't sure what he was going to say to her. He wanted to reassure her that he still cared about her, but he also knew that he had to be honest about his feelings for Sophia. "Lucas?" Elena's voice was shaky and hesitant. "Is that you?" "Elena, it's me," Lucas said, clearing his throat. "Listen, we need to talk. About everything that's happened." There was a long silence on the other end of the line, and Lucas could hear Elena breathing softly. "What's there to talk about?" Elena finally said, her voice low and resigned. "You've moved on, Lucas. You don't love me anymore." "That's not true, Elena," Lucas said, his voice cracking with emotion. "I'll always care about you, and what we had together. But the truth is that I've fallen in love with someone else. Sophia. We would I forget you when we have a daughter together?, But then Sophia means everything to me." There was a sharp intake of brea
Sofia povI have had enough of him, I can't keep up with his silly behaviour anymore. Although it hurts that Elena is back and he couldn't get a chance with the father of her child, But the truth is that I love Lucas and Ava a lot. I don't know what I will do without them. I haven't been scared like this before, seeing her alive made me scared. My heart keeps thrusting at each beat. Maybe my vein couldn't supply the blood well again. It feels like I am being drawn away from Lucas, and that makes me feel like I have lost half of myself. I never realised I loved him this much, not until I started feeling the pain of separation. I don't know why I feel this way. It's really felt awkward."I got his number, you know I am the best hacker, even though I learned it from you, Ramona said, smiling. "Good job, I will message him now." I quickly copied the number and messaged him.A few hours laterI walked into the restaurant that I had choose for us to meet. And I could see the excitement on
Author POV Logan Mansion Leon drove recklessly into the compound. He couldn't believe he was overjoyed for nothing, so she actually invited him there to talk about Lucas. "Why is it always Lucas? Why do people look down on him and always root for Lucas? Why did she want to be with him even after finding out Elena is still alive? Why can't she see he loves her a lot?" Different thoughts were popping up in his head. It was really disheartening and he couldn't take it anymore. The person he loves even wants him dead. Is that how bad he is? What did she see in Lucas that he didn't have? Why would she downgrade him just like that? She never wanted to listen to his apology and only talked about Lucas all the time. He clutched the steering wheel of the car and hit his head frequently on it, angrily. "Why always Lucas? Nobody wished me a happy birthday, not even my mother. They all neglected me and went out for Lucas." he muttered to himself. "I am the prodigal son here." He opened the c
Lucas POVSophia mood isn't good snd I wonder what's going on through her head. I hope she's not thinking of Elena? I don't know why Elena have to come back now of all time, why didn't she come back before now, why did she have to comt back after I fall in love with someone else? And did she think I'll still wait for her? When I don't even know she was battling with her health. The sound of my phone pull me out of my thought, taking it out of my phone, I click on the answer button without checking who the caller was."Lucas, can we see now?" I heard Elena voice and I wonder what she wants from me again. I mean I left her some hours ago, how can she be calling me now? I stare at Sophia and I notice she has this kind of sound expression on. What have I done? I shouldn't have pick up the call when she's here."I am sorry, Elena we can't see today, maybe we should make it some other day" I replied and I can hear her chuckled."Why? You didn't wanna see me because of that lady? She will un
Author POV"Thank you for everything." Lucas couldn't hold back as he slammed his lips against hers. He kissed her deeply, and it ended after some minutes. She scoffed and rushed to her room. She slammed the door shut and locked it from behind."What's going on? I know she would want them to come back together with him. "But little Ava might forget about me once she realized her mother is still alive, What if Lucas decided to go back to her because of Ava?" she thought and clenched her fist. She tossed herself on the bed with the most infilled thought, she can't even talk to her mother. She will be very worried."I really need to talk to someone before I lose my mind. I guess I should call Kingsley. No, that will be a bad idea, he's trying to move on after I rejected him. I can't call to cry to him, he will be mad at Lucas instead. I can't do this. I will just force myself to go to bed." She exhaled and held the blanket tightly. He couldn't stop staring at the ceiling. Her phone beep
Lucas continued, "They underestimate our love and they will never break us." Sophia looked up at him with tears in her eyes, grateful for his reassurance. "I'm scared, Lucas," she admitted. "I don't want to lose you or Ava." "You won't lose us," he said firmly. "I won't let anything happen to you or our daughter. We'll face this together and come out stronger. I promise." Sophia hugged him tightly and he held her close. They stayed like that for a few minutes, feeling the warmth of each other's bodies and the comfort of their embrace. In that moment, nothing else mattered except each other. Eventually, they pulled away from the embrace and Lucas looked at Sophia with a soft smile. "We should get some rest now. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day." Sophia nodded in agreement, grateful for Lucas' support and unwavering love. She knew that no matter what challenges they faced, as long as they were together, they could overcome anything.Lucas stood up from the bed and walked over to
Author POV"He has the right to know, but not so quick. Everything happens so soon. She's just a child, and we don't need to rush things. I will tell her when the right time comes," Lucas said, leaving a reassuring smile."I guess he's right, and I also think you should place strict warnings on her teachers. They shouldn't allow strangers to see her. She might trace her school," Kingsley said, and they both nodded."Thanks, Kingsley, I was busy getting ready for everything ahead, but I didn't even think about that. I was so stupid. I will call her school right now," Lucas said, and they nodded in agreement. Sophia looks worried. After passing a call across to Ava's school, he took a deep breath."We can go now," he said, and they all headed to the garage."I think I should get going, I can find my way," Kingsley said, but Lucas hesitated."I will drop you off, so you've got to come with us." He said this and gave Sophia a look, indirectly telling her to convince him. She smiled and fa

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
