Ara once thought Logan was her perfect lover. He was everything she dreamed of—charming, sophisticated, and with a deep love for art that matched her own. Together, they shared long conversations about paintings, literature, and life, and Logan seemed to understand her in ways no one else ever had. For a while, she truly believed he was the perfect man, the one she was meant to be with forever. But when she discovered the truth, she realized he’d only been using her to get closer to the woman he truly wanted. Heartbroken and betrayed, Ara walked away in the pouring rain, her heart shattered but her resolve stronger than ever. She would never let him back in. Three years later, Logan resurfaces—not through a business deal with her company, but through an unexpected acquisition of one of its key partners. Determined to win Ara back, Logan is no longer the man she once knew. He’s cold, relentless, and will stop at nothing to force her back into his world. “You can’t escape me, Ara. This time, I’ll make you stay.” But Ara is no longer the same woman she was. Her fierce independence and stubborn heart refuse to let Logan back in, no matter how hard he pushes. As their past resurfaces, secrets about Logan’s possible connection to her father’s death threaten to unravel everything.

Warm light spilled from vintage lamps, casting a cozy glow over the worn wooden tables and mismatched chairs.On the wall hung two beautiful clocks—"The Perfect Lovers," as they were affectionately called. They always moved in perfect synchronization, their hands dancing together in harmony. Watching them, I couldn't help but imaged my future lover.It was a night like any other in the quaint coffee shop, until a regular customer walked in.As the coffee shop prepared to close, I’m packing up the last few items and heading to the storage room in the back.Suddenly, the power went out, plunging the room into darkness.

Chapter 2
Ava’s POVAs Logan made his way through the crowd, shaking hands and greeting employees, I knew I couldn't avoid him forever. Our paths were about to cross once more, and I had to be prepared for whatever came next.The sound of my co-worker’s scream sliced through the steady hum of the office, sharp and abrupt. My head snapped toward the commotion, and so did everyone else’s.The scream wasn’t blood-curdling, more like the excited, high-pitched kind you’d hear at a concert. And as I followed everyone’s gaze, I realized why.Logan.He was standing at the entrance of our open-floor workspace, his presence commanding without effort. His tailored suit fit him like a second skin, and his dark hair, slightly tousled, looked too perfect to be accidental. His eyes scanned the room, calm and assessing, until they landed on me.I froze.Our eyes locked, and time seemed to stretch unnaturally thin. My heart thundered in my chest, the sound deafening in my ears. The recognition in his gaze was i

Chapter 3
Ava’s POVAs I left the bathroom, I was determined to avoid any further confrontation with Logan. I wanted to ignore him and avoid conflict at all costs. The last thing I wanted was to draw attention to myself—or to the unmistakable water stains clinging to my clothes like a badge of humiliation.And yet, there he was. Logan. Leaning casually against the wall, as if waiting for someone—as if waiting for me. His dark eyes flicked up from his phone, sharp and focused the moment he saw me."Ava," he said, his tone neutral but tinged with concern. "What happened? You’re soaked.""It’s nothing," I replied quickly, brushing past him. "I’m fine."But of course, Logan didn’t listen. He never did. I felt his hand, warm and steady, close gently around my arm. I stopped, but I didn’t turn to face him."You can’t walk around like this," he said and Logan take off his coat and try to offer it to me to cover my wet blouse. "Let me help you. Here—""I don’t need your help, Logan." I snapped, glaring

Chapter 4
Ava’s POVThe atmosphere in the office was tense as we gathered for the meeting. George, the man in charge of high-tech products, was already in a heated discussion with Jennifer, who was blonde and responsible for luxury goods. They had a history—George was Jennifer's ex-boyfriend, and their past relationship only added fuel to their professional rivalry.I didn’t have to guess who would lead our team. George’s name was practically stamped all over this project. His history of successfully managing collaborations with high-tech companies made him the obvious choice.George's arrogance was well-known in the office. He had a habit of belittling others, always convinced that he was the most suitable candidate for any task. Jennifer, on the other hand, was sharp and resilient, never one to back down from a challenge.Before either of them could respond, George leaned back in his chair with a smirk. “Let’s be honest here,” he said, his tone dripping with arrogance. “With my experience in

Chapter 5
Ava’s POVAs Amanda and I stood at the bus stop, my mind was in turmoil. Seeing Logan again was baffling at most. Why did I get to meet him here or all places? I struggled to understand why I reacted so strongly to his presence.Amanda must have noticed my confusion because she turned to me with a curious look. "Ava, are you okay? You seem a bit off."I forced a smile, trying to mask my inner turmoil. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a lot on my mind."She nodded, but I could tell she wasn't entirely convinced. "You know, there are rumors about Logan. They say he only has secret lovers and that many people know about his breakup, but no one knows who the woman is. It's a hot topic because everyone's curious about his choice of a girlfriend."The mention of secret lovers and the mystery surrounding his relationships made me surprised. I didn't think that such rumors are all related to me. I tried to keep my expression neutral, but I could not help to have my eyes a bit widened.Amanda glanced at

Chapter 6
Logan’s POVI settled into the beach chair, adjusting my dark sunglasses as I let the simulated summer sun warm my face. The upscale rest center was an oasis in the midst of winter, with its artificial sunlight and serene seaside atmosphere. Despite the chill outside, the air here was warm, the kind of warmth that made you forget it wasn’t real.Prominent personalities, rich people, and influencers have gathered to the pool of the hostess of the party. Chatters of travels, business breakthroughs, and petty flirting are the main topics of each discussion as if they have not been talked about when they encountered each other the previous days.The place mainly was dominated by the scent of cocktail drinks and the chatter of too many people. It is still only nine in the morning. I was only behind them when I overheard their chatter.“Those people are our friends, right?” Leo, one of my friends asked as he adjusted his shades as he took a double check on the guests, examining the crowd an

Chapter 7
Ava’s POV“Ava!”Logan shouted from behind, his voice echoing through the place. I looked to my left to see a flashing car rushing at me full speed. It was hard to react on time. I was rooted in my place, frozen and life flashing before my eyes.I closed my eyes, only anticipating and accepting what would happen.I felt my body as if whipped to the back, and my heart beat quickly, thinking that I was about to travel to the afterlife. I waited for a few seconds until I could feel someone’s breath tingling over my face.When I opened my eyes, there was Logan, locking his sights with mine. I immediately felt his hand on my waist, and the other wrapped around my shoulder. The warmth of his arms are as hot as ever, and I could feel his body shape through the layers of fabric between us.His perfume changed too, it seemed. It is manlier, more seductive, and highly addicting up close.“Wait –”I stepped back and fought frantically until the side of my foot bent towards the floor, putting a s

Chapter 8
Ava’s POVThe aroma of freshly brewed tea and coffee filled the air, mingling with the hum of conversation. The office pantry was a hive of activity, with my colleagues chatting animatedly over their afternoon break. I was at my usual spot, trying to focus on dressing the sprain in my foot."Hey, did you hear? Logan bought us afternoon tea today," Mark said, his voice brimming with excitement. "I can't believe it. The new CEO is already making waves.""Yeah, that's so generous of him," Sarah added, taking a sip of her tea. "I guess he's trying to make a good impression."I tried to block out their chatter, focusing on wrapping my foot. The pain from my earlier encounter with Logan still throbbed, a constant reminder of the day's events. Just as I finished securing the bandage, Emma approached me with a cup of milk tea."Here, Ava," she said, holding out the cup with a smile. "Logan got this for everyone. You should have some."I looked up, forcing a smile. "Thanks, Emma, but I can't.

Chapter 9
Ava’s POVThe interior of the car was a cocoon of muted luxury, all dark leather and brushed metal accents. Soft ambient lighting cast a warm glow, and the faint scent of cedarwood lingered in the air. The rain drummed lightly against the windows, a soothing rhythm that contrasted with the tension coiling in the pit of my stomach.Logan sat beside me, relaxed and composed, his gaze focused out the front windshield as if the weight of the world didn’t rest on his shoulders. It was infuriating how unaffected he seemed while my nerves buzzed with unease.He glanced at me, his voice breaking the silence. “Where do you live, Ava?”I stiffened. The thought of him knowing my address felt too personal, too intimate. “Just drop me off at the bus stop,” I replied coolly, keeping my tone neutral. “It’s fine from there.”His brows lifted slightly, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he gave the driver a short nod, and the car rolled smoothly through the rain-dappled streets.When we reached the corner

Chapter 10
Ava’s POV(Flashback.)It was when my college days. I was working at a coffee shop part-time to sustain the expenses that I had been spending on school, and myself, and a little of my income would go to my family. Every day, starting four in the afternoon until nine in the evening, the peak hours would start. As for me, even though I was only part-time there, I had to help the other baristas there to balance each customer's demand. I also had to memorize some of the orders of every long-time customer already.It was tiring, but for me, it was one of the best jobs in the world.The day was rainy, and fewer customers were going, but the operations were still as usual. The delivery just came and needed someone to move them towards the inventory, so I volunteered. While moving some coffee beans, I did not notice it but I accidentally bumped into someone, causing me to drop a container of the beans while drop to the floor.I rubbed my right backside from the drop and realized that some bea
