LOGAN: Bound to a Demon Hazel's POV
It’s been a week since the incident.I have spent every waking moment holding on to the memory of him because I’m afraid that it will disappear.Pathetic, isn’t it? How all I can think of is him showing up again, even though I’m not ready to sign the agreement. Maybe it’s because I’ve never experienced being protected and saved by a complete stranger before. Someone like him, with a purpose, meeting me at my lowest and offering me redemption. Is it not too good to be true?I rub my face in frustration. A part of me wishes I would forget. Maybe then, I wouldn’t be so conflicted about whether or not I made the right decision pushing him away.‘When you are in dire need of me, I will find you.’Do I not need him anymore? Has he given up on me? If he has, then why can I still remember him?I lift myself off the living room carpet, dragging my feet into the kitchen to get a drink. But all the regular stuff is gone and I don’t want to waste my expensive wines on my emotions, so I decide to
LOGAN: Bound to a Demon Hazel's POV
When I wake up, he is by my side.I wonder how long he's been watching me sleep. I sigh. "You're still with me."I would be alone if it wasn't for him.No, I'd probably be dead."Why do you keep saving me?"He doesn't answer. Instead, he asks, "how do you feel?""Like shit. I hate hospitals," I reply sitting up."Your wounds have already been treated. They said you can go home as soon as you regain consciousness," he explains."Right."***"What have you done to her?" Linda whispers after subtly pulling him away from the livingroom.Ive been seated on the carpet staring into thin air for a few minutes now, so I understand her concern."She's been sitting like that since she got back!"She has the wrong person, but I'm too busy pretending not to hear her to interject."I can assure you, I haven't done anything to hurt your boss."I hear a few mo

“Great,” he mutters under his breath. Sitting back, he adjusts his posture to exude enough confidence for the both of us, spreading his legs and resting his hands on his thighs.He's not like any man I've ever had in my company, even though I had very little experience before Edwin. Edwin. I haven't even thought about him since... wow. I have to resist the urge to compare Logan's traits with his, along with his confidence, his intelligence and the kind of security he gives me, because maybe it's unfair to compare a common man to a demon. It takes every bit of effort to rip my eyes away from his body and focus on staying calm like he suggested. The two stop by our table, one of them saying, “Look who we have here.”“And with a pretty lady too,” the other one adds. I cringe inwardly. I may not have the audacity to compare a commom man to a demon just yet, but nothing is going to stop me from comparing these two losers with Logan. It's like he's built different. Because while I dev
LOGAN: Bound to a Demon Logan's POV
It begins to rain and when I glance at her, she’s fast asleep. None of them has ever asked to see my home before, which only confirms my thoughts about her. She’s an odd one, a little naive, and too curious for her own good.I park by the fountain, watching the rain pound on and on. I look over at her, wondering how she’s able to sleep through the growing storm. It’s barely evening time.It takes a while, but her eyelids peel open eventually. She blinks at me with squinted eyes before sitting up quickly and adjusting herself. Then she sighs. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”“I didn’t want to disturb you,” I reply. “Wait here. I’ll go inside and get you an umbrella.”She shakes her head, opening the door and jumping out of the car. I grab the items from the shop and step out just in time to see her react to the nature of my house.She’s frozen in the rain, cool drops hitting her delicate skin and leaving strands of her hair stuck to her face. She smiles, twirling around to take in the gar

“A call from Velvet Magazine, Miss. They want to know if you’ll still do the interview after hearing about recent events,” Linda says to me.I glance over at Logan who is seated on a couch in my study, flipping through their latest edition silently. “Remind me when this was scheduled for,” I reply.“Tomorrow at noon.”I lean back in my chair, resting my arms on the table. Velvet is the biggest publisher in the city and they will want to hear about everything that is going on at Ambrose Corp. from me just to clear out the rumors and predictions from the minor articles and publications online.“There’s one more thing,” Linda adds. “They’re bringing Shannon Ambrose in as well if she takes up the offer.”“What?” I scoff. “Are they trying to get us to rip each other apart?”Short answer, yes. I wonder what idiot is in charge of this. “Don’t respond and ignore them,” I say finally. She nods and leaves.“Either the writers are trying to ruin me completely or Shannon is cooking up another sc
LOGAN: Bound to a Demon Hazel's POV
I’m trying my best not to squint as the lights hit me and the camera starts rolling. Shannon sits stiffly beside me as the host scrolls through the questions and even though I feel I might crack under this pressure soon, my expression remains impassive.“Alright, let’s begin.”But the interviewer is cut off by the last person I thought I would see today.“Wait!”I glance around until my eyes land on Mr. Park, who has now crashed the interview. They stop instantly and I can hear a few gasps and whispers as he approaches us.He looks at me saying, “I need to have a word with you.”I’m just as surprised as everyone else, but they don’t need to know that.I stand, following him out as his entourage waits behind. “What a pleasant surprise,” I say sarcastically as soon as we’re alone. But he doesn’t say anything cocky or snarky. Instead he says, “You should take me seriously for once in your life. Don’t do the interview. It’s a bigger set-up than you think.”I frown. “What do you mean? Sh
LOGAN: Bound to a Demon Hazel's POV
It’s 5p.m when I decide to put on my trainers and go out for a jog. The ground outside is wet and the cool air smells fresh after all the heavy rainfall. I think of a time when I loved the rain, because my mother loved it too. She thought it was the most magical thing about nature. And when I adored nature, I adored myself as part of it. As nothing but divinely and beautifully feminine just like my mother. But I lost touch of it a few years after she died, and never had a magical experience until… well until Logan showed up. When I return home, it’s not dark, empty and silent like I subconsciously imagined it to be. Linda is relaxed on the barstool while Logan moves around the kitchen preparing dinner. It’s warm, and the smell of something delicious is wafting through the living room. I smile. “This never gets old,” I say as I join them.“You’re back,” Logan states. He’s wearing a black apron that says ‘no bitchin’ in ma kitchen’ which makes me giggle. I never found it funny when Li
LOGAN: Bound to a Demon Hazel's POV
I knew he would agree to meet with us. But now that he’s here, it’s much harder to actually speak to him than I thought. We’re in a small cafe not too far from where I live. It’s quite a sunny day, so more people are outside, but the cafe is quiet enough. “You have a lot of questions, don’t you?” He says. “Yes. But that’s not entirely why I asked to meet with you,” I reply. “Well. Before we start, you might want to listen to this,” he says, setting his phone down on the table. Logan and I glance at each other at the same time as the audio begins to play. “Shannon Ambrose in my office. To what do I owe this pleasant surprise,” Andy says to her in a quite patronizing tone. “Is it so surprising that I’m here? Don’t worry, I won’t be long.” I glance at Andy, whose staring at me, maybe trying to see how I react to this. “Okay. Why are you here?” Andy’s voice comes through the speakers of his phone again. “I’m here to warn you. Whatever connection you have with Hazel, end it.” “Excuse

He said my name.He called me Hazel. For the first time since I signed the contract. Not calling me by my name was his way of keeping the distance between us. We weren't anything more than business partners. Not even friends.He didn't think about it when he said my name. The way he stood between me and a bullet was also instinctive. Like a natural inclination. Like he couldn't help himself. Even when my orders stated otherwise."Stay down. Don't move. And whatever you do, do not look up."With my head bowed, ears covered, and my eyes screwed shut, I wait.I know he's immortal, but I'm so devastated that he's already been shot that I can't think straight. I'm sobbing, my throat is dry, and I can barely breathe.I need this to be over. When I remove my palms, I know it's not completely silent around me.But the ringing sound in my ears is so loud that I can't hear what he says to me after he removes his jacket from the top of my head and helps me up.In fact, I'm completely out of
LOGAN: Bound to a Demon Logan’s POV
Somehow, Annie convinced Hazel to let he spend the night. Hazel must have agreed because she thought we could take care of this little situation in the morning. Well, not anymore. At around 1am, the girl escapes. I decide to let her know. She should know. She wouldn't want the girl to leave on her own even though she's an adult. Plus, she shouldn't live with the memories of what happened yesterday. We can't trust her. I knock on her bedroom door and hear her stir under the sheets. I enter before she tells me to and she switches on her bedside lamp, squinting through the dark room."What time is it?" She groans."I'm sorry to bother you but I thought you should know. The girl is gone.""Annie?" She scrambles out of the sheets, careful not to tamper with her writst. "What do you mean gone?""She sneaked out about five minutes ago.""And you just let her leave?" She scolds. Of course I did. To prove that the girl is stubborn and deserving of what's about to come her way. I couldn't ha

"There she is," Logan says. I lean off the walls of the building behind me and we follow her down the sidewalk. Apparently, she's one of the members of an underground team of hackers that get paid to do all kinds of stuff.She seems young, maybe a teenager. We pick up the pace and circle her, stopping right in front of her. She freezes, staring between us, and then backs away with a nervous laugh."Can I help you?""You're Annie, right? My name is Hazel Ambrose and this is Logan," I say with a smile.Her eyes grow even wider when she recognises me, but she's smart enough not to run."We need to talk," I add. She thinks about it for a while before she says, "okay.""We can talk over lunch," I say turning to lead the way while Logan moves behind her to make sure she doesn't escape.We watch her devour a sandwich and wait patiently. Once she's done, I ask, "are you a member of a group called 'daydream'?""I know who you are and I know what this is about. But I can't tell you anything," s

"You. Give us some privacy.""He's not going anywhere," I say, glaring daggers at her. What on earth makes her think she can walk in here and give orders?"Whetever you have to say, you can say it in front of Logan.""Fine. We'll have this discussion some other time then," she says. Taking the fruit basket from Edwin, she leaves it on the table."You brought this for her, she should have it," she says. He just stands there like a wimp, letting her do little things like that that gives everyone in the room the idea that she has control over him."I'm surprised you can still afford a room like this," she says waving her hand around."I can't believe how insensitive you are. You're not even trying to hide it. You're petty enough to show up here at a time like this when all of this is your fault. Do you really think you can intimidate me?" I say, looking into her eyes. "And you," I turn to Edwin. "Why are you still here.""Edwin and I are on the same team," she informs me. "What? Are yo
LOGAN: Bound to a Demon Hazel's POV
I've been forced to rest for the past few days while they run one test after the other to make sure I'm okay. I find this unusual, and I think Logan might be being my being here for so long, but the doctor here has been our family doctor for years and he has known me since I was a child so I guess he's being extra cautious. I like to think it was just one small accident even though I can barely move, to stop myself from raging over the fact that someone tried to kill me.Logan has spent every night here with me since the accident, only leaving me in the afternoons to freshen up and come back. He's also been doing most of my work, running the hotel, investigating my near-death experience and trying to help me regain my credibility.I've earned nothing but pity so far as news has spread of my condition, but I need to get out of here if I'm going to fix things for good before I go out of business.I'm alone in the private ward for only a few hours before the nurse enters with a tray, fo
LOGAN: Bound to a Demon Logan's POV
"Penny for your thoughts."She's been spaced out for so long. I'm guessing it's something completely random. "Are you going to be with me until I die?" She asks. It's just as I thought. "Yes," I reply. "As per the terms of our agreement."She hesitates, but asks the next question anyway. "What if I get married?" she asks. "My husband wouldn't approve." Approve?"Are we going to worry about the approval of men? You and I make unstoppable pair." Also, I don't need the approval of anyone. Except you. "Answer the question," she insists."You can always set boundries with me. You could order me to stay away, or only to do specific tasks that you think your spouse would approve of. But remember, Miss Ambrose. We have a bond. A supernatural bond that makes me feel what you're feeling and drives me to protect you."She spaces out again. But this time, it's different. She seems dazed, lost in whatever she's now thinking and feeling. It's unusual, and I've only seen this happen once before.

Of course, Andy is stunned when we show up at his headquarters with Sydney and they have a little chat after which she signs with him and leaves. She seems nice.I wpnder how Logan was able to pull this off overnight. "I have to say I didn't think you would actually follow through but I'm impressed," Andy says as we settle down in his office. "I couldn't allow you to underestimate me. But i want you to consider this a gift. That way we can end our petty rivalry," I reply. He smiles. "You're still trying to get me on your side?" It comes out much more like a statement than a question. I roll my eyes. He needs to be humbled."You're the one that should be working hard to get on my good side now. I know the key to everyone's heart and sooner or later, you will need me."He doesn't object. He knows I'm right. The tables are turning slowly, but surely.After we leave, I am suddenly very conscious of Logan. He's been with me all day, following me like a shadow without saying a word."You'

Clinging on to every bit of patience I have managed to recharge overnight, I sit with Sydney at the Claire de Lune guests lounge at noon. “Are you sure you want to have the meeting here?” I say, sitting across from her at a small round table.“Yes,” she replies. “Now, let’s get on with it.”Resisting the urge to sigh, I begin.“Any questions?” I ask rounding up and closing the folder.“No. Everything is well understood. And to be honest, I was going to sign the contract with or without your elaboration. But now that I see how desperate he is, sending one of his men to be at my service, I do have one request.”I stare blankly at her, waiting for her to say what it is. She stands.“Come and see me later. At night. And be prepared.”***I return to the hotel to meet with Sydney at night as she instructed. When she opens the door to invite me in, she’s dressed in a pink, silky robe, and a small gold chain peaks from under it just around her neck.She beckons me in and closes the door beh

It’s 9pm. I’m waiting with a name card when she appears, smiling as soon as she spots me and dragging her luggage along. “Miss Reid?” I confirm when she stops in front of me. She smiles brightly. “That’s me.”“I’m Logan. I’ll be at your service for as long as you choose to stay. Feel free to let me know if there’s anything you need.”“Logan…” she repeats, as if trying to memorize it. “Right. Take this then,” she says giving me her suitcase. “It’s exhausting.”I take it. “Of course. Right this way, then.”“How long have you been working for Mr. Park?” she asks once we’re both seated in the car. “Not long.”“How long until we get to the hotel?” she asks after a moment of silence.“I’d say forty minutes, but I sense traffic ahead,” I reply.She reaches into her purse, pulling out a small mirror and checking her face.“I look exhausted.”She doesn’t. Her face looks several years younger than she actually is, suggesting a kind of innocen
