Never meant to be Its bound to happen
IsabellaThe car ride to my apartment was maddening. Logan, of course, took every opportunity to needle me about my “impulsive tendencies,” while I countered with sarcastic remarks about his overinflated ego.“You know,” he said, smirking as he navigated the city streets, “if you weren’t so busy being stubborn, you might admit you want me."“Want you?” I scoffed. “Logan, the only thing I want right now is the thought of getting out of this car.”“Keep telling yourself that, Isabella,” he replied with maddening calm. “Denial suits you.”When we finally pull

Isabella -I closed my eyes, feeling his lips brush against mine, teasing and tasting. His hands were on the small of my back, and my hands were in his hair. I pushed into him harder and slipped my tongue into his mouth, enticing him to push me back, kissing me harder and pinning my arms against the wall. Somehow he had pushed me inside my flat and kicked the door closed with his legs.Dirty, desperate thoughts caused a longing throughout my entire body.I bit his lower lip gently, sucking on it just for a second before kissing him deeper. My hand moved into his hair, and I scratched the back of his head gently with my nails. He responded, his tongue probing my mouth, searching for my own.My hands gently grasped his neck as his kiss became rougher, his breath hot against my skin. His tongue dipped into my mouth with a hunger that matched my own. I loved the way he tasted.Hi

Logan -After returning from Isabella's apartment, I ended up taking a cold shower. Then I sat in my chair and read the journal, starting with the first entry.Isabella 2015 -My first day of high school.I had planned everything meticulously—new outfit, backpack, even my notebook arrangement—because this was my chance to reinvent myself. No one here knew me, which meant no awkward “She’s the weird kid” stares.Walking through the front doors, I felt both exhilarated and scared out of my mind. The hallway buzzed with energy: students chatting, lockers slamming, teachers trying and failing to establish order. I clutched my schedule like a lifeline and took a deep breath.I could do this.That’s when I saw him.

Isabella -Usually, whenever I entered Logan's office, he would usually give me that annoying smirk. But today he was sitting at his desk, focused on his laptop, the faint clack of his keyboard filling the room.I cleared my throat. “Good morning,” I began, clutching my planner a little tighter than necessary.Logan glanced up briefly, his dark eyes unreadable. “Morning,” he replied in that deep, annoyingly calm tone of his. “What’s on the agenda?”I rattled off the day’s schedule like a nervous auctioneer. “You have a conference call with the board at ten, a lunch meeting with the marketing team at noon, and the report from the finance department is due by three. I’ve already emailed them to confirm. Also, there’s a request from HR about—”

Isabella - Rain. Not the kind that’s cold, harsh, or makes you miserable. No, this was a nice, pleasant summer rain—one of those gentle showers that make everything glisten and smell like freshly cut grass and wet pavement. Perfect weather for... whatever adults do after work. For me, it was just another day trying to survive Logan Sinclair.I zipped up my coat and stepped out of the office building. The sky was a soft gray, the raindrops dancing around me like overenthusiastic party guests. Just as I was about to take a deep breath and embrace the calming rhythm of the rain, I felt it—a presence. Someone was standing a few feet away, umbrella in hand.“There you are,” he said, his voice smooth and annoyingly charming. “Lovely weather, isn’t it?”Logan. Of all people, of all times. And in this perfect summer rain?I raised an eyebrow, trying to muster some semblance of annoyance. “Logan. What are you doing here?”He shrugged, his smirk as infuriating as ever. “Just enjoying the rain.

Isabella"Umm, did he tell you why we broke up?" I asked them."Yeah, he said that you were always busy and not giving him enough attention," Trixie replied sympathetically.“Oh, Isabella, it’s so brave of you to be out and about. I don’t know if I could after... everything. Carlson was so… devoted before, wasn’t he? Always talking about you. It’s a shame how things ended up.”I forced a tight smile, my cheeks aching from the strain. Their words were like tiny daggers aimed straight at my chest. Sympathy, pity—whatever they thought they were offering—it felt more like a subtle way to say, You messed up, and now everyone knows it.The truth was, they weren’t entirely wrong. Carlson had been devoted—once. Before the late nights at work, before the endles

Isabella“This looks… amazing,” I said, taking in the sight of perfectly cooked pasta, tender chicken, and a vibrant salad.Logan grinned, leaning casually against the counter. “Wait until you taste it.”I arched an eyebrow, unable to resist teasing him. “Confident, aren’t we?”“Always.” He winked, and I couldn’t help but laugh softly.As I admired the feast, I realized how much effort he’d put into this. I glanced at him, suddenly feeling a pang of guilt for my earlier annoyance. “You should freshen up before we eat,” I said, noticing a light sheen of sweat on his brow from his culinary efforts.

Isabella -I stared at him, utterly exasperated.“Logan,” I began, enunciating each syllable carefully, “are you seriously planning on staying here all night?”He tilted his head, his expression an infuriating mix of amusement and mock innocence. “Are you seriously planning to kick me out in this rain?”I glanced at the window, where the faint drizzle was barely misting the glass. “Rain? You have a car, Logan. It’s not like I’m asking you to trek through the wilderness.”He leaned forward, his grin widening. “Ah, but I made a promise, Bella.”I blinked, caught off guard. “What promise?”“To be your booty call.” He said it so casually, as if he were offering to bring snacks to a picnic.I nearly choked on my own indignation. “Excuse me?!”He chuckled, clearly enjoying my reaction. "I promised to always be there for you, no matter what. And you liked it last time when we..."I pinched the bridge of my nose, feeling a headache coming on. “Stop reminding me of that night."He shrugged, co

Never meant to be Unspoken Regrets
Isabella"I found your diary by accident," he continued. "Back in high school, the day in the library. You dropped it when... well, when Patty and I were being idiots."I flinched at the memory, my fingers digging into my arms."At first, I didn’t think much of it. I thought I’d give it back to you the next day. But you weren’t at school."I looked up sharply, and he met my eyes."I didn’t know what happened," he said softly. "I didn’t see you again after that day. I asked around and found out your grandfather had passed away. And... I don’t know. I guess I just assumed you needed space. Then school ended, and you were gone."His words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of things left unsaid."I should’ve found a way to give it back," he admitted, his voice breaking slightly. "But instead, I kept it. And I read it."My heart twisted painfully. Hearing him confess to reading my most private thoughts felt like a violation all over again, but there was something raw and genuine in hi
Never meant to be How it all began
Logan’s POV, 2016The air in the library was heavy with the mingling smells of old books and cheap disinfectant. The dim overhead lights gave everything a muted glow, the perfect cover for fooling around. Patty giggled as I pulled her closer, her hands resting lightly on my shoulders."Logan," she whispered, glancing around nervously, though her smile betrayed her excitement. Her skirt was hitched up and wrapped around my waist."Relax," I said with a smirk, leaning in to kiss her again.We were tucked away in the far corner, hidden behind rows of rarely borrowed encyclopedias. It was supposed to be a quiet, uneventful afternoon until I heard it—a soft shuffle, like someone had accidentally walked in on us. Patty stiffened, her head whipping around."Who’s there?" She demanded, her voice sharp and grating.From behind a shelf, a familiar face emerged—Isabella. She looked startled, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she clutched her books tightly against her chest."I’m sorry," s
Never meant to be Fractured Resolve
IsabellaThe adrenaline was fading, leaving me shaky and light-headed. My knees buckled, and before I hit the ground, Logan caught me. His strong arms wrapped around me, holding me upright as I clung to him, my breath shallow.“Isabella, you’re bleeding,” he said, his voice filled with alarm.I touched my forehead, feeling a warm, sticky wetness. Pulling my hand back, I saw red smeared across my fingers. The sight made my stomach churn, but I shook my head.“I’m fine,” I managed, though my voice wavered.“Fine?” Logan repeated incredulously, his jaw tightening. “You’re bleeding, and you can barely stand. We’re going to the hospital.”“No,” I protested weakly. “It’s just a scratch. I don’t need a hospital.”Logan ignored me, his concerned gaze scanning my face. “You’re in shock. Let me—”“I said I’m fine,” I interrupted, my voice firmer this time. I straightened myself, though the effort made my head spin. “It’s nothing serious. Just... help me home.”Logan looked unconvinced, his lips

Unfinished BusinessIsabella -A smirk tugged at the corners of my mouth before I could stop it. “Good for her,” I said, turning back toward the stairs.“Isabella, wait,” he called out, his voice sharper now.I ignored him, taking a step forward. But then I felt his hand on my arm, gripping it tightly.“Why did you tell her?” he demanded, his voice thick with accusation.I spun around, yanking my arm free. “Tell her what?”“Don’t play dumb,” he snapped. “You told her everything. About me, about us.”I laughed dryly, crossing my arms. “You mean about you cheating on me? And her? Please, Carl. Grace deserved to know the truth. You have no one to blame but yourself.”His face twisted with anger, his eyes narrowing. “You ruined my life,” he hissed, stepping closer.I glared at him, refusing to back down. “You ruined your own life. Maybe you should have thought about that before sleeping with both of us.”His expression darkened, and for a moment, I thought he might back off. But then his
Never meant to be Drawing the Line
Logan Paris’s apartment was as opulent as ever, with its pristine white walls, expansive glass windows, and a sweeping view of the ocean.She greeted me at the door, her expression bright and deceptively warm. "Logan," she purred, leaning in for an air kiss. "To what do I owe this surprise? You never drop by unannounced."I brushed past her into the living room, my jaw tight. "We need to talk."Her perfectly arched eyebrows lifted, but she didn’t miss a beat. She closed the door behind me and sauntered over to a plush armchair, gesturing for me to sit as if this were a casual visit."I’m all ears," she said, crossing her legs and giving me a practiced smile.I remained standing. "Did you get that article printed?"Her smile didn’t falter, but something flickered in her eyes—amusement, maybe. "Why would you think that?""Cut the act, Paris," I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended. "You’ve been stirring the pot ever since Isabella started working at my company. Don’t think I haven
Never meant to be Damage Control
Logan -I sat at my desk, staring at the clock on the wall. The hands seemed frozen, mocking me with their refusal to move. Isabella wasn’t at the office today. I’d expected that much after last night. Hell, I probably would’ve done the same if I were in her shoes.The memory of her walking out still stung. Her tears, her anger, the slap—I deserved all of it. I’d screwed up. I knew it the moment I saw the diary in her hands. There was no way to explain, no excuse good enough to justify what I’d done.I rubbed my temples, willing the tension in my head to subside, but it clung to me like a shadow. I needed to fix this, but first, I had to give her space. Isabella wasn’t the kind of person you could pressure into a conversation. She’d come back when she was ready—if she ever wanted to hear me out at all.Just as I was about to dive into the mountain of emails piling up in my inbox, Derek walked in, holding his phone with a grim expression."You’ve got to see this," he said, sliding the
Never meant to be A Betrayal Too Deep
IsabellaI froze, staring at the worn leather cover with my name scrawled on it in silver ink. It was unmistakable. The corners were frayed from years of use, and the faint stain of spilled ink near the edge was exactly where I remembered it.What was this doing here?Slowly, as if compelled by an unseen force, I flipped it open.The familiar loops of my teenage handwriting stared back at me, messy and unrefined, but undeniably mine."January 12th. I saw Logan today in the hallway. The moment he looked at me, my heart felt as though it was about to burst. He appeared to be so serious. He’ll never notice me like that, though. He’s Patty’s boyfriend, and she’s perfect. Ugh, why am I even writing this?"My throat tightened, and I flipped further. Page after page, it was all there—my secrets, my insecurities, my dreams. The crush I thought I’d hidden so well.A lump formed in my throat as I pieced together the impossible truth. Logan had this diary. For how long? And why?My chest heaved
Never meant to be Shattered
Isabella The silence in the car was deafening. Logan’s words still hung in the air, heavy with meaning and impossible to ignore. He loved me. He loved me. And for a brief, heart-stopping moment, I wanted to believe that we could make it work, that the world outside this car didn’t matter.But then reality came crashing back, as it always did.I pulled my hand from his, the warmth of his touch lingering even as I turned to face him. My heart was pounding, but I steadied myself, forcing my voice to remain calm. "Logan," I began, "we’ve been through this before. We can’t have a relationship."His brows furrowed, and his jaw tightened, a flash of frustration crossing his face. "Why not?" he asked, his voice low but firm. "Why are you so determined to fight this, Isabella?""Because it’s not just about us," I said, gesturing vaguely at the world outside the car. "If we do this, it won’t just affect us, Logan. It’ll affect everything."He shook his head, his gaze never leaving mine. "I don

Isabella -The music shifted, becoming slower, more seductive. The soft rhythm of the song seemed to weave through the air, urging me to move."I am tired." I said to Trent.He stopped dancing, and I stepped onto the deck. I leaned against the railing, closing my eyes for a second to breathe in the salty air, trying to regain some clarity. But before I could settle into the moment, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me.“Leaving the party already?” Trent’s voice broke the silence, and I turned to see him standing a few feet away, his ever-present grin in place.“I just needed a break,” I said, forcing a smile as I adjusted my posture, hoping he wouldn’t push.He didn’t seem to take the hint. Instead, he moved closer, his eyes lingering on me a little too long. “I get it. Sometimes, all this”—he waved a hand toward the house—“can get a bit much, huh?” He stepped closer again, his tone lower now, more intimate. “But I’ve got to say, you look incredible tonight, Isabella.”“Thanks, Tr
