Logan's POVAs I entered the office, the buzz of conversations came to a sudden half, and all eyes turned to me. Straightening my suit, I swept my gaze across every face as I strolled further, with my shoes clacking on the polished tiles. Taking a deep breath, I entered the boardroom, ready to start the meeting. As I stood in front of the projector, I glanced at the wall clock whose ticking sound was the only noise breaking the solitude.“Sir. Here are the reports of the last meeting.” My secretary, Taylor, said, handing me a file. Taking the papers from her, I skimmed through them as I flipped through the pages.Heaving a deep sigh, I returned it to her and motioned for her to leave.She returned back to her seat and I looked up to face the other members.“So, in our last meeting, we discussed our new projects, and we talked about how we can promote our fashion brand and work on other cloth designs as well, didn't we?”I began, my voice firm but steady.“Yes sir!” They chorused in
Logan's POVI sat glued to my office chair, tapping my fingers gently on the table as I reflected on the day's activities. I reclined my body serenely on the chair, my lips conforming into a thin line with my fingers pressing into my temple. Every one of my thoughts was still on Emily… It's like she's consumed every corner in my mind and I couldn't avoid replaying our past encounters and the unresolved tension that clung between us.My eyes scanned the space, taking in the intricate details of the decor that adorned the walls, yet amidst the grandeur was a noticeable absence. As I sat there in my chair, my heart sank, overwhelmed with heaviness. The office felt silent for a long moment. The only sound was the ticking of the clock on the wall.A loud knock followed, and I mumbled the word ‘“Come in.” My eyes traveled to the door, and it settled on a 6’7 figure in a dark raven suit with spiky blonde hair. It was Paul, and he greeted me before walking towards me, his shoes clapping the
Emily’s POV.The night passed slowly, each minute dragging on like an eternity. Finally, Dawn crept in through the curtains, casting a pale light across the room. No sooner had my alarm chimed than I bolted out from the covers. I robbed my eyes and yawned, feeling rejuvenated for a new day’s activities. The sound of the alarm pierced the silence, prompting me to smack it till it turned off.My gaze traveled to the wall clock. “Nine thirty,” I mumbled under my breath, feeling the need to get more sleep since it was Saturday.. As I laid down on the bed, I placed my head on the soft pillow, I closed my eyes with a grin plastered on my face. A peaceful feeling greeted me with an eerie silence, a sharp contrast to the usual chaos of my evenings.Just when I remembered something, my eyes flicked open, and I sat on the bed with wide eyes.“Damn!” I cussed, raking my fingers through my hair.“How did I forget that there is a special event at Marina Vila today? Gosh! I even received an invi
Logan’s Point Of View I couldn’t take my gaze away from Emily. Emily captured my attention with her sexy cream sheath gown, which showcased her well-endowed curves. Her flawless white skin, heart-shaped ruby lips and her glossy brunette hair, which cascaded down to her shoulder, all called out to me. It’s as though I was trapped in her captivating allure, without a way out. I swallowed my saliva multiple times, trying hard to control myself, but I couldn’t stop drooling. I desired so much to touch her, feel her and even smell her …“Is it true that Jonathan is friends with your brother, Logan?” Martin asked as soon as he alighted from his car.With my chest constricting, I watched Emily stroll into the VIP lounge with Collin.My face flashed with rage, and I subconsciously clenched my fists as well.“Bro.. you look lost and angry… Are you alright?” Martin asked, his gray eyes searching my face.He was in a gray suit with a pink tie, looking all dashing like a humble gentleman. I w
Emily's POVMy face glowed as different beams of light flashed in my direction. I stood under the spotlight with all eyes on me. My rapid heartbeat slowed, and I took a deep breath before gripping the microphone.A smile formed on my lips as I exuded camaraderie, feeling honored to be a special guest at today's gathering. Waving my hand slightly in the air, I glanced sideways with my gaze sweeping at the multiple faces of people seated in the spacious hall. “First of all, I'm honored to be invited to this wonderful event.” I began, my voice cutting through the heavy silence that had now enveloped the entire hall.People listened keenly to what I had to say.. I felt a little nervous but when I caught a glimpse of Collin who was in the second row, a wave of confidence surged within me. The splash of happiness in his eyes brightened my mood, giving me the courage I desperately needed.Collin has been my unwavering support over the years and I'm glad I met him.“Thank you Jonathan Forbe
Emily's POVThe air felt thick and stifling, and my heart hammered furiously as I glared at him. If looks could kill, he would have been six feet tall by now. But you know what hurts the most — It’s the fact Logan is less concerned whenever I’m upset. My emotions are oblivious to him and he cares less to know when I’m upset or angry.He dragged me closer to him, drawing attention from every other person. Every stare, every single eye, murmurs and chuckles made frustration bubble inside me, but I tried to mask those anger with a forced, phony smile on my face.Taking my gaze to Logan, my face heated up, and I scowled at him with clenched fists.“What the hell do you want from me? I’ve told you never to touch me! The last time I warned you, I’ve promised myself to raise my hand on your cheek and trust me, I can f**g do just that!”“Oh, really?” Logan questioned, taking a step closer to me. Yanking my hands off his grip, I glared at him with a smug smile tugged at my lips.Through gritt
Emily's POV I stood still, watching the altercation that was about to unfold between Collin and Logan. The room grew silent, the tension palpable with my heartbeat echoing in my ears. My heart skipped a beat as Collin appeared in front of Logan, his face etched with disgust and rage. Knowing they were nothing but rivals, their presence garnered a lot of attention and I could hear whispers from other celebrities who were in the room with us. "I heard Emerald was previously married to logan. She has moved on since their divorce, but Logan appears to have not. I believe he still has his eyes on her." Taylor, a famous upcoming singer in a black sheath gown and cashmere said, her face filled with a heavy makeup. I felt my heart crumble like a wrinkled paper, each breath felt like a dagger poking my chest as I listened to their gossip. “It’s Logan's loss by the way. Emerald is now involved in a relationship with Collins. I'm sure she can never go back to Logan..” Cecile, a famous
Emily’s POV.The news about me and Collin emerging as the winner of the celebrity face event spread like wildfire. It was all over the news and everyone was talking about it. I received a lot of congratulatory messages from friends, fans, well-wishers and even strangers. But one very text left me brooding and worried. It was a text I received from someone anonymous. It says, “I will make sure I come between you and Collin. Don’t stay too happy because he’s not yours alone.”Since I got the message, it still haunted me. Not being able to trace who it was made me even more worried than ever.As days trickled by, I tried to push the unease aside, but it clung to me like shadows I couldn’t shake off. “Who could it be? Who could have sent such a message? Could it be Vivian? Or Cecile?” I asked, a faint sheen of sweat forming on my forehead as I sat up on my bed that early morning.The annoying sound of the alarm pierced the silence, snatching me from my thought zone. Striking it with my
