Author's POV

Collin's eyes blazed with rage, his eyes hovering over Cecile's features. Cecile swallowed the lump in her throat, her grip on the whiskey bottle tightening.

“Evening, Collin. It's good to see you. What are you doing here?” She asked, a forced friendly smile on her face. Vivian’s gaze lingered on the two of them. She could sense that something was off between them. An underlying tension perhaps..

“Cut the act, Cecile. I don't need the fake greetings.” Collin replied, his face etched with rage.

Her eyes went wide, a sense of uneasiness washing over

her.

She held her breath as Collin took a step forward, closing the distance between them. He placed his hand on the wall, leaving her trapped in the centre, his brows knitted in rage.

“What the hell is going on?” Vivian crossed her arms, her brows raising slightly as she stared at them in confusion.

“What did you tell Emerald?” Collin asked, his voice low, a hint of threat in it

Cecile clutched her purse, una

Emily’s eyes went wide, shock etching her features as she swept her gaze across the boards and other shareholders who had just voted her as the new CEO of Logan's company. She never expected to receive support from the majority of them. “Wow…” She whispered, still finding it hard to believe. Caroline waved her hand slightly in the air, grabbing Emily's attention. She smiled as she offered her an encouraging smile Those who were against Emily being the CEO, raised their hands at the chairman's order. They were only about a few of them Logan clenched his fist, his face twisted in rage. The middle aged man in his dapper suit – Chairman Clinton, smiled with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes as he gazed at every shareholder in the conference room. “I believe we agree that the majority of the board supports Emerald's appointment.” He spoke, his voice carrying through the thick silence. “Congratulations to you, Mr

    Emily's POV “You think you can just waltz in here and take over?” Logan growled, his eyes holding mine in their grasp. A sly smile tugged at my lips when I noticed how frustrated he was Logan's fingers wrapped around my wrist, his touch firm but gentle. He pulled me closer, his eyes burning with intensity. “You claim that I took over your company.. Why are you making it seem as if I took it away from you in a hostile takeover, when we both know that the board of directors voted me in as the new CEO?” I replied, giving him a knowing look. His knitted brows raised and his grip on me loosened. He dipped his hands into his pocket, his jaw clenched. Nodding, he said, “You think you've won, Emily. You took over my company and even denied me from seeing Carl… Don't think I'll just roll over it.. and accept it.” “I've done what's best for our son,” I said, taking a step closer to him, our faces an inch apart. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I added, “And I've done what is best

    My face darkened as Vivian's pretense intensified my rage. I couldn't believe she'd ever cheat on me all because of the little brawl we had some days ago. I've always tried to keep up with her attitude even when she's wrong. “Where are you coming from?” I asked, my voice low and threatening. She paused in her tracks, struggling to comprehend my statement. “Logan. Look, I know we had a feud but I just want to let you know that I'm sorry..” She whispered, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ears. She approached me, wrapping her hand around my wrist but I ripped my hands away from her. “I'm sorry I left without telling you my whereabouts. I got upset, thinking you were venting your frustrations on me because of the current state of the company but I've come to realise that I was wrong. I made you angry because of the stupid things I did and I'm genuinely sorry for it..” She mumbled, faking an apology. A cold and mirthless laughter escaped from my throat. I shook my head as I

My hands trembled as I reached for my phone. I wonder how Logan must feel right now. Sighing, I sprang to my feet and gazed at my reflection in the mirror, smoothening the invisible wrinkles on my polished suit “I'll be leaving Brenda. Please ensure my dad takes his medication.” I said before stepping out of the room. The chauffeur opened the door with ease while I slid onto the backseat. Images of Lucas flashed in my thoughts, engulfing me in despair. Lucas was a calm, caring soul. I never expected him to be taken away from us like that. “We've reached our destination, ma'am.” the chauffeur informed me. Nodding, I grasped my bag by the handle and alighted from the car. I pushed back the tears that stung in my eyes.. We've got a meeting and loads of work to work on. I have to stay strong, not allowing my emot

He walked into the café, smirking as he sipped his coffee. I felt a cold chill ran down my spine when I noticed he was exchanging frequent glances in my direction I know who he is. That same man who ran into me.. The one Collin mentioned was his rival in their Mafia clan. “Do you need anything else?” The server asked, a warm inviting smile tugged at his lips. “No. Thank you,” I replied, forcing a smile on my face My breath came in short bursts as I reached for my phone. I just realised that I'm alone and not with Hugo, my bodyguard. I was done with my coffee but I didn't want to leave the café.

He had zoomed off so quick. I didn't even get a chance to see it. “Are you alright?” Logan's voice cut through my thoughts. My rampaging heartbeat slowed down as I slowly turned around to face him His brows creased as he searched my features, sensing how uneasy i was I pulled my hand away from his grip when I realised he had been holding my wrist the entire time. “I'm - I'm fine,” I replied, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ears.

Walking into the room, I took off my tie and suit, my eyes darting around.“Good afternoon, Sir Logan,” Martha, one of the maids , greeted me politely as she approached me. She was in an apron, nose mask and broomstick. She has been cleaning the mansion since I went out “Get some rest, Martha.” I said to her as I skirted past her. I came to a halt as my thoughts drifted to Vivian.Casting a glance over my shoulder, I asked, “Is Vivian still here? Has she signed the divorce papers already?” Martha shook her head slightly, unsure what to respond. I took a few steps towards her, questions piling behind my eyes. I could tell she was nervous; did Vivian tell her anything?“

Somebody help!” I screamed aloud for anyone who cared enough to listen so they would help in saving my husband.I tore a part of my dress and used it on his wound to place pressure on the injured area in order to stop the flow.“Please, help us!” I pleaded, tears in my eyes.“I'll…. 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. If I had my way, I would have driven him off to the hospital but, I was in no right state of mind to drive a car now and he could not do the same in his injured state.Soon, Logan passed out and some onlookers dropped by to see what was happening.“Help me! my…my husband has been shot.” “Call the cops,” someone suggested.“Whoever fired the shot should still be around here somehow.” Another person said.“Please, let's call 911!” someone else said and all the while when they were talking and taking steps in helping us fro

Everything was gradually getting better and it looked like life was beginning to take a great form after all.Although my son, Carl was currently in the hospital undergoing some medical care and procedure at the moment to help with his transplant, I couldn't help but feel thankful that he has a great chance at surviving the turbulence.“Which one do you think will fit the baby perfectly out of these?” Logan asked me as he picked up a very cute baby outfit.

That will be sorted by you, Black.” “You have to make sure everything turn out well when you guys go to get them.” The deep croaky voice of the mafia's grouphead resounded in the room while he addressed the members of the secret organization.“We have to ensure that nobody comes close to our group. 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

Emily and Logan exchange glances before taking a deep breath.Emily and Logan walked out of the ward with the doctor. Emily's chest heaved, her heart pounding harder. 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. Unlike him, she wasn’t blinded by anger, she saw an opportunity to do what has always been within her."Throwing objects won’t change the fact that she's back in Logan's arms," she said, walking slowly to Collins.Collin looked around, eyes flashing with anger.

I could tell that she was completely stressed and overwhelmed because of Carl's condition.“What of Carl?” She asked the chubby maid who was standing at the doorway.“He’s awake.

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. He nodded and also added, “While it can be inherited from parents who are carriers of mutated genes, it can also be caused by spontaneous mutations during fetal development. 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
