Lost And Found Hearts Strategic Alliance
Chapter Thirty EightNola and I decide to go to the Doctor's place.We step into the car, and we didn't even utter a word. We are both thinking of what's going on As we get there, we are told to enter. The doctor is sitting opposite his desk, and we sit across from her. She adjusts her glasses, an expression of thought upon her face , her face is unreadable.“We have agreed to align with us, with the hope of not losing” Nolan says " What do we do? We need to start planning, “I know it's not only us he has done bad things to, but he promised not to stop, we can't watch him keep doing bad things to everyone”Dr. Gray leaned back in her chair, tapping a pen against her notebook. "Leo is smart. He's always been one step ahead. If you want to bring him down, you'll need his private documents—the ones he uses to blackmail people. Those are the key to his power."My stomach churns just to hear Leo's name. He has always been so calculated, merciless. I shut my eyes as the images of him rush
Lost And Found Hearts Nolan Is Disturbed
Chapter Thirty Nine The sun shines soft through the window, casting a warm glow across the living room as I sit on the floor with Simeon. He's focused, his tiny fingers carefully stacking one colorful block atop another. I watch him, my heart swelling with affection. These moments are so dear to me, when everything seems so typical, so serene. For a few minutes, I can forget the chaos looming over us.Look, Mommy!" Simeon beams up at me, his tower proud-though a little wobbly-standing.I smile and reach to steady the blocks. "You're getting to be such a good builder, my little builder.At my praise, his face lights up, and before I know it, I lean down and press a soft kiss to his forehead. I think I am fulfilling my promise already, that I won't let him know of this storm, I won't let what's weighing me down affect him, I can see his face light up and I am happy for that. I smile watching him play happily, my joy. But it doesn't last.Nolan steps into the room; his footsteps heavy,
Lost And Found Hearts A Desperate Appeal
Chapter FortySimeon and I take a cab to his father's company. The weight of what I am about to do is heavy on my chest.Every ride feels like we are walking into a trap. Leo isn't someone who my son should claim as his father, and Nolan, what if Nolan gives birth, will he still have these feelings he has for my child? Will he still care about him?I need to get what I need to get from Leo, to build a company, my son will inheritAs we approach the company, Simeon looks up at us, with his big eyes, “Mum, we are going to see dad, right”..“Yes darling, we are going to see Leo, your father”“But mum, I don't want to go”“Please darling, I know you are not happy with him, you just need to pretend like you are. I am doing this, for some reasons and I need you to play along”He nods, even when he's not happy with the idea, but I trust him to obey me. Though, I am not happy with what I asked him to do, but I just had to do this, I am desperate to do this.We go inside the company with no se
Lost And Found Hearts Boldness
Chapter Forty-OneI sit in the living room. I had already text Nolan's house address to Doctor Gray, so I am waiting for her to arrive. Nolan and I had been in the living room, but he isn't even talking to me, because of this same matter. When the doorbell rings, I turn to Nolan, who nods, his face etched with a mix of concern and resolve."Just be careful and know what you will discuss with her " Nolan whispered as I stood to open the door.I take a deep breath and open the door to Doctor Gray, who steps inside, her expression serious. "Marie," she greets me, her eyes scanning the room before settling on Nolan. "We need to talk."I close the door and lead him to the living room. "I'm glad you're here. I told Leo that I miss him, that I want to reconnect for Simeon's sake. I think she's considering it.Doctor Gray raises an eyebrow. "You're really going to play this angle? After everything Leo has done?""It's not about me," I return, the weight of our mission solidly on my shoulder
Lost And Found Hearts Torn Loyalties
---Chapter Forty TwoNolan is at home, thinking about Marie and Simeon, who are on their way to Leo's place.Dr. Gray walks into Nolan's living room, suddenly.The room is so tense, and Nolan was shock to see Gray, not even a day like this when Marie isn't around.“Hey! Dr. Gray” Nolan says, shaking off the shock in his body.“Mr. Nolan, how are you doing” Dr. Gray says, smiling.“I am fine. Marie has went to Leo's place, as you suggested” Dr. Gray smiles, “I know. How are you holding up? Hope you don't miss her too much?”Nolan doesn't turn. His gaze is affixed outside on the horizon where the sun has just disappeared. "I don't know," he mutters, his voice thick with concern. "I can't shake this feeling. What if something happens to her? what if Nolan's know this was all planned"Dr. Gray takes another step closer, her heels lightly clicking on the wood floor. "She'll be all right," she reassures him, though it's said almost mechanistically. "Marie's tougher than you think. She's d
Lost And Found Hearts Blurred Lines
Chapter Forty ThreeI never thought I'd see the day where Leo actually looks at me like this. There's something different in his eyes today, something soft, almost hesitant. It's unsettling because I'm used to the cold, calculated expression he wears like a mask, one that reminds me exactly why I can't trust him. But sitting across from him today, in his office, I watch him with Simeon, and can't shake that weird feeling tugging at the edges of my mind.Simeon's lying on the floor, surrounded by a sea of blocks. He's building something - a castle, maybe. I'm only half paying attention, my eyes drawn back to Leo every few seconds. He's sitting in his chair, leaned back slightly, watching our son with a quiet intensity that I've never seen before. Usually, his focus is sharp, predatory. But right now, it's… softer.“You're quiet today," Leo says, breaking the silence. His voice is lower than it usually is, as if he's afraid of disturbing something fragile in the room.I shrug, trying to
Lost And Found Hearts A Fragile Reunion
Chapter Forty FourThe next thing I know, I am standing in the foyer of Leo's house, a place so well-known and yet so foreign. Memories of our past hang in the air: laughter shared, dreams built, and then shattered. This was our house, our haven in which I thought love would blossom for eternity. Now it feels like a museum of our history, full of the echoes of what once was.Simeon, my son, stands beside me, wide-eyed with wonder as he took0 in the grandeur of the place. I watched him as he went further in - a mixture of curiosity and innocence seemed to exude from him. A feeling that I would like just at this moment to be portrayed: the warmth of a father's love. But I am here, confused and lost in my thoughts, and truly wondering if I am making the right choice."Marie," Leo interrupts the spell of my reverie. His voice is deep and rich, and resonates through the big area. Closer to me, his gaze steady and serious, I can feel my heart start to race. "Are you okay? I know this must b
Lost And Found Hearts Nolan's Fright
---Chapter Forty Five: Nolan's FrightNolan's PovI had been pacing back and forth in the living room, having my phone tightly in my hand, in which the house was silent, too silent, except for that ticking of a clock on the wall. I had been awaiting hours, and there was no sight of Marie. The phone calls that I made have gone to no answer; every single ring has only ended with a dead silence. She is not picking up, and it has been freaking me out.I glance at the phone again. Nothing.I try to shake off the worry building inside me, but it's useless. The knot in my stomach grows tighter by the minute. What if something has happened? What if she's in trouble? Leo is unpredictable-I've always known that. And now that she's with him, in his house, who knows what he's capable of?My mind is racing, and I thought I had this under control. Really, I thought sending her back to him would help us to get what we need. But now, as the hours tick on with not a word from her, I am second-guessin

Lost And Found Hearts A Sudden Visit
Chapter One Hundred: A Sudden VisitThe smell of sautéed onions and spices fills the small kitchen as Elena hums softly to herself. She efficiently navigates between the stove and the countertop, her hands deftly chopping vegetables as she occasionally follows along on the recipe pulled up on her cell phone. Sun pours through the window into the tidy space.Nolan leans lazily against the doorframe, arms crossed and his lips curled up in a small smile. He regards her with a quiet sort of admiration, though the tension in his shoulders betrays his thoughts."You know," he says at last, coming into the kitchen, "you really don't have to do all this. We could have just ordered something."Elena looks up briefly, her eyes sparkling with mirth. "And miss the chance to show off my cooking skills? Not a chance. Besides, you need a proper meal. Stress eating takeout isn't doing you any good."Nolan chuckles, moving closer. "Stress eating, huh? You make it sound like I'm falling apart."Elena r
Lost And Found Hearts United
Chapter Ninety Nine: UnitedThe soft hum of the morning sunlight pours into the kitchen, washing over the countertops and making everything moe bright. Elena stands at the stove, stirring a pot of oatmeal with a steady practiced motion. The kitchen is warm, comforting-familiar, normal in the chaos still hanging outside.The creaking of footsteps breaks the silence, and Elena doesn't need to lift her head to know who is behind her. Even before he says a word, the room fills with his presence- thick with tension now days over. She hears him stop right in the entrance, taking in the view of her; his gaze lingers as if she were the only thing keeping him bound to this earth."Elena," he begins, and the strained sound is almost weary. She doesn't turn around immediately, knowing he needs to say whatever is on his mind. She keeps her attention on the oatmeal, though she feels the heavy weight of his eyes on her."Something's wrong, isn't it?" she says calmly, while the undertone in her voi
Lost And Found Hearts A Fragile Plan
Chapter Ninety Eight: A Fragile PlanThe room in the hospital is silent, except for the soft humming of machines that monitor Simeon's recovery. Morning light cascades through the blinds, giving the little room a pale glow. Marie sits by the window, observing her son leaning against his pillows. Simeon looks stronger now, his cheeks no longer as pale as they were when they first came in.“You’re getting better,” Marie says with a small smile. Her voice is warm, but there’s a tension behind it that Simeon doesn’t miss.“Yeah,” he replies, his tone flat. “I guess.”Marie hesitates, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her cardigan. She’s been thinking about this conversation all night, turning it over and over in her mind. She knows it’s risky, but she can’t shake the idea. Finally, she speaks."Simeon," she begins, her voice low. "I've been thinking. Perhaps we ought to get in touch with your father."Simeon freezes, his eyes narrowing as he stares at her. "What?"Hear me out," Marie sa
Lost And Found Hearts Leo
Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Predator ReturnsThe limousine rolls to a stop outside the towering iron gates of Leo Ralston's estate. The driver is out in a flash, briskly efficient as he opens the door. Leo steps onto the gravel driveway, commanding and cold. The air is crisp, biting against the fine fabric of his tailored suit, but Leo doesn't flinch.The gates groan to a creaky open, revealing the serpentine drive up to his mansion. In the distance, the imposing structure looms like a shadow against the fading light of dusk. This was always the house that represented his power, his untouchable status. Tonight, however, there seemed to be something off about it-something hollow in the silence that surrounded it.Leo's eyes go sharp as he nears the great front doors. The carving, once a pride, now feels almost mocking. He shoves the heavy doors open; the groan of it resounds through the halls that are now empty.A chill greets him from the foyer, one that has nothing to do with the eveni

His mind is consumed by the news of Leo Ralston's release. Each step to his car feels so heavy, his thoughts gray with worry.Leo. Free.He knows what it means, and a chill runs down his spine. It's not just about him; it's about Marie and Simeon. It's about all the lives Leo could destroy again.The drive home is silent and unusually so. Even the sound of the engine feels muffled under the weight of his thoughts. He clutches the steering wheel a little tighter than usual, his knuckles whitening. Pulling into the driveway of his modest home, he readies himself for the conversation that will ensue.Inside, Elena is sitting o
Lost And Found Hearts Freedom
Chapter Ninety Five: FreedomThe atmosphere of the morning was thick with celebration as the people prepared to celebrate National Unity Day. The streets around the nation were draped with flags, and every available square space was packed with citizens awaiting parades and merrymaking. But behind the scenes, the government is planning a far less publicized but equally important move-a gesture of goodwill that reverberated through every corner of society.Senior officials filled the seats of the long table inside the presidential mansion. At the head of the table, the president ran his eyes over the document before him. On it was a list of prisoners eligible for early release, an early but symbolic act of compassion pertaining to the national holiday.This will send a great message," the Minister of Justice says, his voice measured. "The country requires unity, and giving amnesty to some of the prisoners will show our resolve for second chances."The president nods but does not say a
Lost And Found Hearts Nolan's Promise
Chapter: Nolan's PromiseNolan sits beside Simeon's bed, his elbows to his knees, his hands clasped together in tight fists. The soft beeping of the monitor is a reassuring cadence, a steady heartbeat that tells him Simeon lives, that he still fights. Morning light seeps through the blinds, but the exhaustion in his body will not abate. His vow to Simeon, "I won't let you down, not this time," is the litany in his brain.The door creaks open, and Marie steps in hesitantly, carrying two cups of coffee. Her face looks tired, her eyes heavy from a sleepless night. She stops near the doorway, watching Nolan for a moment before speaking.“You should rest,” she says softly, setting one cup on the small table beside him.“I’m fine,” Nolan replies, his tone curt, though he doesn’t look at her.Marie pulls a chair closer and sits down, wrapping her hands around her cup for warmth. For a while, neither of them speaks, the silence stretching out uncomfortably. Then, she breaks it.“You’re still
Lost And Found Hearts Loyality
Chapter: Nolan Stays by Simeon's SideThe pale-faced Marie paces around the living room, her eyes on Simeon. He lay on the sofa, hardly conscious, with beads of sweat on his forehead. His wheezing is shallow and faint, and every wheeze refreshes a new panic wave in her mind.Simeon, please, stay awake," she begs, moving the cool cloth once more over his burning forehead. Her voice breaks, and for a moment, her emotions betray her. She clenches her jaw and tries not to fall apart, but seeing him like this breaks her.Her mind is racing with what to do next. She's not prepared for this-she's never been prepared for this. Simeon has always been the strong one, the steady rock in a world full of chaos. Seeing him like this, so vulnerable, terrifies her.Trembling, she picks up her phone and dials Nolan's number. It rings twice before he answers.Nolan," she begins, her voice strained with desperation. "Simeon is sick. I don't know what to do. Hè's burning up, and he can barely breathe. Pl
Lost And Found Hearts Past And Presence
Chapter Ninety-One: "Torn Between the Past and PresentHe leaned back in his chair, sitting alone in his study, the faint light of the desk lamp casting long shadows across the room. The confrontation with Marie earlier in the day replayed in his mind-every word another dagger twisting deeper. The weight of her voice, the crack in her resolve when she begged for his understanding, still lingered in his mind like some unshakable ghost.Five years: five long, long years they shared together, once a time that seemed to be the basis of his future. But then it fell, torn down by the stab of betrayal. Twice, she failed him, and each time it felt as if someone plunged a knife into his soul.At this, Nolan runs a hand through his hair; frustration boils inside him. He knows what logic dictates: she's the past. Marie made her choices, and he made his. When she wasn't there for him, Elena stepped in. Elena had been the one to stand by him at his very lowest, when he thought himself empty and wi
