My lips twitched into a sneer as I grasped the steering wheel.

“Pregnant?” I whispered, still doubting the whole thing. I am certain that I've never touched her, so how could she claim to be pregnant?

He enveloped me in a hug, while I ran my fingers through his spiky brown hair.I got on one knee, reaching his level. After pestering him with multiple kisses, I cupped his cheeks and asked, “How was your day?”“It was fine, mom.” He replied, smiling from ear to ear.I raised my head slightly and my gaze settled on Logan, who was now on his feet, a few feet from where I stood.He gulped down nothing as my penetrating, curious eyes searched his features.He stiffened, his throat working as if to speak, but nothing came out.I turned my gaze to Brenda, Collin’s nanny, and asked, “What are you guys doing outs

I was already in a bad mood, my blood had been boiling in rage since I learnt of Collin's hidden secrets. All I needed was to take a cold shower, dunk my head in the Bathtub and shut my eyes for a few minutes. I just wanted to spend some time alone, to calm myself from the swarm of thoughts that had been pooling in my mind.Seeing Logan was the least thing I expected today.“Get your hands off me!” I warned, my eyes spitting fire. His face softened and his jaw clenched as he released me from his grip. He could tell that I was furious, and upset about something.Dipping his hand into his pocket, he forced a brief smile on his lips“What do you want and oh, it's a surprise I'm seeing you here, Logan. Did you come all the way to see my son?” I asked, keeping

Logan's brows furrowed as he stared at me, his face etched with bewilderment. My heartbeat rampaged as I neared him and grasped his hand, pulling him to safety.Luckily, the vehicle sped past him and didn't collide with him at all..I felt beads of sweat trickling down my temple as I watched the car drive into the distance.I breathed with relief when I realised it wasn't that same person who had collided with me on purpose. Logan stared at me, confused. I guess it seems like I'm overreacting. Well, maybe I am overreacting but I wouldn't blame myself, not after what I'd experienced earlier today.Who knows if that same person is targeting Logan as well?“Emily,” Logan spoke, his voice soft and gentle.

I'll…I'll be fine.” Logan struggled to say to me in a stutter.“No, you are not fine.” I cried, trying to help him in any way I could before better help could come.

The other rival gangs will get too cocky if they notice us slacking. This isn't time to slow down guys, we have to step up and show that we own this arena–”Collin's dark eyes wandered lazily around the dimly lit room, his mind in a faraway place as he sat on the seat at a corner in the room.The mafia members' discussion about the upcoming ammunition that had been imported secretly into the country and the inherent sneer from jealous rival gangs faded into the background while he thought of his newest worry.He couldn't be bothered about anything more except the news he'd gotten from Vivi

Anxiety lingered in the air."Doctor, how's Carl's health?" Logan asked first, while Emily stood there looking at one way."While his immune system is still stable, we have to explore several options for a bone marrow transplant. Since neither of you is a match, having a child together could potentially save his life.” The doctor said, staring at them sympathetically.“I understand this is personal but do know that I'll always be here to support you.

The sight of them chuckling and spending quality time together burned through him like a fire blaze on top of his head."Unbelievable!" he roared, flipping the coffee table in front of him. "After everything I did, after everything I said, she still went back to him?"Vivian, standing in the corner, let out a quiet chuckle. She had been watching him the entire time, enjoying the spectacle of his rage and unhappiness.

I froze for a moment. it felt as if time had come to a standstill. “Can you tell me more about this SCID?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. The doctor's voice was gentle as he added, “It's a rare genetic disorder that affects the immune system.” I listened intently, my brows knitting. He cleared his throat and continued, “It is caused by mutations in genes which play crucial roles in development and functions of the immune system.” My eyes narrowed as I struggled to process his words “So, are you trying to say that we passed it down to him?” His lips conformed into a thin line.

The latter I believe is what caused It.” A deep sigh escaped my lips. I paused for a moment, trying to pull myself together. "What
