Logan

Isabella stood up, brushing imaginary crumbs off her jeans, and slung her bag over her shoulder. “Let’s go home,” she said simply, her tone unreadable.

I followed her out of the café, my hands shoved deep into my pockets. The air outside was crisp, the sun starting its slow descent, casting long shadows across the pavement. Neither of us spoke as we walked to the car.

The drive to her apartment was quiet. I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye, trying to gauge her mood, but her face was unreadable as she stared out the window, lost in thought.

When we finally pulled up to her building, I shifted the car into park and turned to her. She unbuckled her seatbelt and reached for the door handle but paused, looking at me for the first time since we’d left the café.

“Thanks,” she said softly, her voice breaking the silence like a pebble dropped into still water. “For today. I appreciated… everything.”

Her words caught me off guard. For a moment, I wasn’t sure how to respond. “It

  • Never meant to be   The Unexpected Trip

    Isabella -I was organizing my notes after the meeting when Logan’s voice cut through the chatter.“Isabella, can I see you in my office?”I glanced up to see him standing at his door. I nodded, grabbing my notebook and following him inside. The moment I stepped in, Derek appeared out of nowhere, his curiosity getting the better of him.“Where are you headed for the signing?” Derek asked, leaning against the doorframe.Logan leaned back in his chair, an amused look on his face. “The founder of Fintech is a bit of a recluse. He lives in a quiet suburb outside New York. I’ll be traveling there next week to finalize the deal.”Derek whistled low. “Sounds... quaint.”Logan chuckled. “Quaint might be an understatement. The man is a bit of an eccentric."After a few more questions, Derek excused himself, leaving the two of us alone. Logan turned his attention back to me, his expression unreadable.“I need you to come with me,” he said, his tone leaving little room for argument.I blinked, c

  • Never meant to be   Reaching the destination

    IsabellaThe drive had been long and exhausting.But as soon as we passed between the towering stone pillars flanking the entrance to his estate, the landscape before us silenced my inner monologue.The wrought-iron gate creaked open after Logan punched in a security code, revealing a driveway flanked by trees ablaze with the colors of autumn.Brilliant shades of orange, rust, and gold filled my vision, their vibrancy increased by the clear afternoon light. The crisp autumn air swept in as Logan rolled the window down, scattering a few leaves across the dashboard before they drifted lazily out of the car.I couldn’t stop myself from leaning forward, my eyes wide as I took it all in. “Wow,” I murmured, almost forgetting who I was sitting next to.“It’s... beautiful,” I admitted reluctantly, watching the leaves swirl in the breeze. “You could’ve warned me this place looks like a postcard.”“I prefer to let my estate speak for itself,” he said with mock humility, steering the car up the c

  • Never meant to be   Dinner for Two

    Isabella - “Are you hungry?” Logan asked casually, his eyes flicking toward me as he leaned against the back of the sofa.I hesitated for a moment before replying honestly, “Yeah, I am.”“What do you feel like eating?” he asked, straightening up.I raised an eyebrow, folding my arms. “Wait… Are you cooking?”“Of course,” he said, as though it were the most obvious thing in the world.“Oh no,” I said, shaking my head. “I’ll cook.”He looked almost offended. “Why?”“Because,” I said firmly, standing up, “I’m repaying the favor for inviting me here."I grinned smugly, already making my way toward the kitchen.Logan sighed dramatically as he trailed behind me. “Fine. But just so we’re clear—this is my kitchen. I’m only letting you do this because I’m a gentleman.”“Noted,” I said with a laugh, stepping into the massive kitchen.The space looked even more impressive now that I was about to use it. Marble countertops gleamed under the soft overhead lights, and the double oven practically b

  • Never meant to be   A Morning Surprise

    Isabella -The next morning, I woke up in my room, sunlight streaming through the curtains. For a moment, I lay there, blinking against the light, trying to piece together how I had gotten there.The last thing I remembered was sitting on the couch with Logan, watching TV. Had I fallen asleep? My brows furrowed as the realization dawned.Did Logan carry me here?The idea of him carrying me felt oddly intimate, and I wasn’t sure how to feel about that. Well, I’d have to ask him later. For now, my rumbling stomach had other priorities.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and padded out of the room, following the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen. As I entered, I found Logan standing by the stove, a spatula in hand, looking infuriatingly good in a plain gray T-shirt and jeans. The scent of fresh bacon and eggs filled the air, making my stomach growl audibly.“Morning,” he said without turning around, clearly aware of my presence. “Sleep well?”I crossed my arms, leaning again

  • Never meant to be   The Moment Between

    Isabella -When we arrived back at the stable, the rhythmic clip-clop of the horse’s hooves softened against the straw-covered floor. Logan pulled the reins gently, bringing the horse to a halt. With effortless grace, he swung his leg over and jumped down, landing lightly on his feet.Before I could even think about dismounting, he was at my side, his hands reaching up to me.“Come on,” he said, his voice low and steady. “I’ve got you.”I hesitated for a second, suddenly hyperaware of his hands on my waist. He lifted me down as though I weighed nothing, setting me gently on the ground.“That was so much fun,” I said, brushing a strand of hair out of my face and smiling up at him. “Thank you.”Logan led the horse back to its stall, securing the paddock with a practiced ease."Good to know that you are impressed." His tone was light, but his eyes were watching me intently.I frowned slightly. “So, you were showing off?""That's what men do." Try to impress a woman by showing off.”The c

  • Never meant to be   Nothing matters

    Isabella -"What do I want?" I asked.“Continue what we started in the stable," he replied with a knowing smile.My mouth went dry. That kiss had left me wanting more.I closed my eyes and went for it; my lips met his. I shifted my forearms up onto his shoulders and dug my fingers into the back of his thick hair. His lips—soft and warm and wet—became more eager, seeking my jaw and neck. His arms wound tightly around me, pulling me against him, nearly lifting me off mytoes.His hand snaked under the back of my shirt. He wanted clothes to come off as badly as I did. It was so cute how his fingers messed up the bra clasp. He was so smooth. It was good to know that he couldn't make the whole universe do what he wanted.“Here. Let me,” I muttered.I lifted my shirt over my head and then clutched it to my chest.“There is nobody else in the house, right?" I didn't want to risk getting caught by some staff.He laughed as he took the shirt from me and threw it on the bench in the hallway. "Ye

  • Never meant to be   A blatant lie

    Isabella I'm not sure when it happened, but somewhere between the lasagna and the ice cream, I found myself completely naked in the kitchen with Logan. Before I knew it, his lips crashed into mine. His hands were everywhere, caressing my breasts, my waist, and my thighs, and I could feel myself growing wetter with every touch.This is how we ended up since yeatserday every few hours. It was like a whirlwind of passion and desire that consumed us both."Fuck, you feel amazing," he groaned, his hips pistoning as he fucked me hard and fast on the kitchen counter. I could feel every inch of him, filling me up, stretching me out.It feels like I would be the first person on Earth to die from pleasure!"Damn! I can't do it anymore," I moaned, my body trembling with pleasure as I reached my peak. Logan's movements became more urgent, his breath hot against my neck."You are so tight that you might snap my cock in two."I clung to him, my nails digging into his back as I rode out the waves o

  • Never meant to be   No Boundaries, No Problem

    Isabella - I leaned back in my chair, crossing my arms as I eyed Logan skeptically. “Even if you’re telling the truth, how am I supposed to believe you? You’re so good at lying.”Logan smirked, leaning against the kitchen counter like he had all the time in the world. “Not my fault I excel at everything.”I rolled my eyes so hard I thought they might get stuck. “Oh, fine. I believe you. You’re a very modest and chaste man. Happy?”“Hmm,” he mused, his lips curving into a cocky grin. “Sounds like you’re jealous.”“Jealous?” I laughed, gesturing wildly. “Why would I be jealous? There’s nothing going on between us except—”He raised an eyebrow, his smirk widening as he filled in the blank. “Except we’re only screwing each other?”I gasped, pointing a f

  • 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

  • Never meant to be   Unfinished Business

    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

  • Never meant to be   Confession

    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
