Logan Carter's POV
At first, I wasn't interested in those kids, would it be good if I got to know them? What are the benefits of knowing them? But Scarlett Carter explained everything to me and said if I hadn't met her I would have regretted it for years if I passed her by. Scarlett Carter's talk was what made me interested in meeting them and of course, finding out about them. Scarlett Carter piqued my curiosity. This curiosity will disappear if I directly meet the person Scarlett Carter said. I stopped at the side of the road. My eyes caught four kids across the street amidst store-bought ice cream. It's just that I was a little confused, there was a woman with four children who was wearing the same clothes with a hat that covered her face. I observe their behavior with great attention. The long-haired woman carried her four children across very carefully. It's just that the hat blocking the four children makes me unable to see clearly, what do the children's faces look like? I deliberately looked at the woman and children with my wolf instincts, this would make my eyes change at a glance, and maybe no one would notice me if I didn't show it clearly. I have to be smart about using violence in a crowd of people. It's dangerous to be a little careless. How will people accept my situation? Bad things will of course continue to threaten my clan if the humans find out. “That's mine, those four children are mine. And the woman I slept with four years ago. I have to meet her immediately and bargain. My instincts are never wrong. It is mine.” I also recognized that woman, she was Emma Parker. The woman I hooked up with four years ago at the bar. Where if it is associated with her, a strange disease appears. I suffer from insomnia every day because I sleep with that woman. My car is not far from where I am standing right now. I immediately ran to get the car. And back to where I was standing. With what I've been through. I became curious about Emma Parker, of course, curious about her. I got out of the car and approached them. "Excuse me," said Logan Carter, making Emma Parker and her four children immediately look at me, seeing me with a look of astonishment on their faces. "Who is it?" "I'm Logan Carter, I'm Scarlett Carter's brother, you're Scarlett Carter's special guest, right?" I asked, I looked at Emma Parker very loudly. Even Emma Parker noticed the gaze. "Oh yes, nice to meet you, Emma Parker," said Emma Parker, introducing herself. She smiled sweetly while watching her four children. "Then can you come with me? Stay with my flock for a while," said Logan Carter, making Emma Parker fall silent. "Well, maybe you can't," said Emma Parker, I frowned at Emma Parker's refusal. "Why not?" I asked. Emma Parker's cell phone rang, I fell silent and allowed Emma Parker to receive the call. It turned out that it was a call from Scarlett Carter. Without thinking, Emma Parker quickly accepted the call. "Hello, Scarlett Carter, I've met Logan Carter. Then–" "It's good that you have met!" Scarlett Carter interjected in a very happy voice. "Oh yes, Emma Parker. The prize is at Logan Carter's house so you have to come with him okay?" Emma Parker glanced at Logan Carter from the corner of her eye, while I just smiled slightly at her. "Okay, thank you very much.” She looked at me closely and nodded slowly. It took her a long time to think about saying yes. I feel like I want to hold my child, but my mind is confused. I walked slowly towards my car which was not far away, followed by the woman and my children. Will I take her as my wife? I have even claimed her children as my flesh and blood. That's my current thinking. Now they and I are in the car. Of course to my house. They will stay with me for a while. How can you not be happy? I will often play with those four children in the future. This is also my opportunity to get to know my son and daughter better. Not only that, of course, I also want to know the mothers of these children. Driving at moderate speed I could only look at my children through the glass. If you say that, I didn't expect that Emma Parker could give birth to four twins who were so adorable and funny, their faces were so similar to mine. she gave birth without me, how did she face it? I can't imagine all that. I didn't even think that in the same year, I would meet this woman again. And of course, she didn't recognize me as Logan Carter this time. The eyes of the four children kept looking at me. I'm not uncomfortable, I feel happy, sad and the like right now. “Mom, may I ask?” asked one of the girls. "Yes, dear." Emma Parker answered very gently. Her parenting style is very good, so her daughter has a good attitude. “Is he my father? "My face looks very similar to him," said her. I was surprised by the question my daughter asked. Emma Parker looked surprised and so did I. She smiled so sweetly. It's true because my face is very similar to those four children. Maybe they noticed, even Emma Parker would have noticed. How did Emma Parker respond? Of course, I'm curious. "No. He is not your father. I told you at that time, didn't I? He has passed away and is happy there. God loves your father more. So he is still Logan Carter, you cannot claim someone else as your father, I have told you that too. How? You understand, right?" Her explained. Her face turned sad. She even smiled so that her daughter would still trust her.Emma Parker's POV My four children nodded, but unlike my two daughters, her attitude immediately changed. I sighed because I knew about my daughter's changes. How do I explain that her father is a pimp? Of course, she was ashamed of the actions I had done in the past. A man will never leave a mark, even if he is a pimp. The sensitive ones are women. She sells herself to pimps, not to pimps who sell themselves. That's how people think. This kid definitely doesn't know this. Or maybe they will get hurt later. Seeing how her mother treated her father was indeed inappropriate. I also don't want to destroy the parenting style that has been applied to my two sons and daughters. Even though I'm not right, I don't want my son to be like his father. After explaining well. However, they just nodded in understanding, but her attitude looked very disappointed. I certainly cannot be fooled by the treatment of my children. I am the one who looks after it, I have always been there in every dev
Emma Parker's POV I refute what Joseph Guezz said about asking about my children. How could he think of that? he won't let Joseph Guezz know where my children are. I can still support my child without him. The proof is, that at the age of three years, they can develop well without any shortcomings at all. They live very well thanks to my hard work for four years. For that, they don't need a father. Let me take care of my four children. No matter how busy you are, two roles in one person. She can be a mother and even a father. It doesn't matter. My children don't want to leave my arms, they still look at life with me. Maybe what I will do is hide my child's whereabouts from the public. I will still look after my children "Then how much money did you make in one night?" I asked in a short tone. Joseph Guezz looked very relaxed, he played with the edge of the glass slowly with his index finger. Since then he has been teasing me with that little treat. "Five thousand dollars,
Emma's POV I dressed neatly when I was about to go to work, and then I left the house and walked away while praying that my work would run smoothly and that there would be no problems. I was walking happily without realizing that I ran into James Parker who was very arrogant and liked to show off what he had. At the same time, James Parker and I looked at each other, making me immediately want to turn around and look for another way, but the result? James Parker actually said something that annoyed me. "You want to go to work, right?" James Parker's voice started to be heard, causing me, who previously didn't want to pay attention to James Parker, to end up arguing with the man. I don't like having to argue with James Parker at all because I'd rather go to work than have to argue with that guy especially since it's not that important. "Can't you see for yourself whether I'm going to work? You should have known that, instead of having me argue like this.
Emma's POV I nodded my head again, a sign that I understood what Scarlett was saying. We finally went back to work, but Scarlett said goodbye for a moment to take out last night's trash that she forgot to throw out. I nodded my head and let Scarlett take out the trash. However, as I followed Scarlett's body which was getting further away, I thought I saw a man standing near Scarlett and chatting with the man, but his face was very familiar even though the man was wearing a mask and a thick jacket. I frowned, I thought the man was Scarlett's boyfriend because so far it seemed as if Scarlett had never had an intimate conversation with a man. In my heart, I smiled and immediately continued my work without thinking too much, especially as I felt that this man was Scarlett's business and I should not interfere in their affairs. Logan's POV I saw him come face-to-face with James Parker. There isn't the slightest feeling that makes me want to help him or let him
Logan's POV "Just wait, then you'll know what time we close, don't ask too many questions." Scarlett looked at me with a cynical look, I could only exhale lazily because that woman made me have to wait. "But waiting for her is like me waiting for something uncertain!" I got annoyed but Scarlett didn't care what I said, of course I got annoyed. I immediately left the place with mixed feelings, between annoyed and tired of waiting for that woman. From a distance, I could see Emma getting ready to go home. I wanted to approach that woman but it was difficult for me to do. Yes, it's not as easy as turning the palm of your hand, I can't possibly just approach her. I looked closer and behind me, there was Scarlett who seemed to be giving a code that I shouldn't get too close to Emma and could only see her from a distance. I complied, I didn't demand more than what was given at all. After walking for a while, I couldn't think about what to do after t
Logan's POV “Yes, yes, yes, it's up to you. Have fun waiting." After saying that Scarlett just walked away leaving me alone again. Well, at least it's better to be alone! Instead of being with Scarlett, the woman scolded me. I took shelter here for quite a long time, until the night before. I could see Emma like she was done working. I could see the tired look clearly on the woman's face. I followed Emma's steps carefully. Of course, I've been wearing my mask since earlier. I'm also not ready if Emma finds out the real facts. I could see the woman entering a mini market, I waited a few minutes. After that, he came out carrying a black plastic bag. There I could see biscuits. Ah, that's a souvenir for my children? I followed Emma, but I also kept quite a distance, I didn't want Emma to get suspicious. Emma also looked back several times, it seemed she realized that I was following her. People looked strangely at me, bu
Emma's POV “Ah, never mind. Forget it. I wanted to find something for you, that’s why I’m here,” Joseph asked, looking at me seriously.“What exactly are you talking about?”“About my offer at the party, the discount is still valid for you, how about it? Do you want to hire me?” he asked innocently again.Crazy! That guy is really crazy!“No! How many times have I told you that I’m not interested in things like that at all? Everything I went through was just an accident!” I explained.“Yeah, I know. But there’s nothing wrong with it if you want, Ah, can I stay at your house for a few days?” I widened my eyes when I heard his words.Is that guy sane? We just met, I didn’t let him in, and what time? Does he want to stay for a while? Seriously! Is he sane? “We’re just helping each other, isn’t that beneficial to us?” he continued while looking at me seriously.“You’d better get out of here than say something unreasonable like this!” I said in annoyance.“Are you kicking me out?” he
James’s POV Now I am already neat with my shirt. Today is indeed a holiday, and I also planned to go on a date with Thea. What's wrong with me looking for a new atmosphere? I've been looking at my cell phone that rang several times, yes, it was Thea. I just glanced briefly, then returned to focus on the activity of buttoning my shirt. Indeed, Thea has been sending a lot of messages and calling since earlier. I feel very embarrassed because the woman doesn't seem to give me time to enjoy my own time. Initially, Thea was the one who invited me first, but the one who would come to my house was the woman, not me who approached the woman. This is so ridiculous! But the reality is like that, Thea is the one who will approach me at home. After everything is done, I immediately grab the flat object containing a thousand people. I immediately pick up my ringing phone. "Gosh, where have you been, me?" I've been calling you since earlier, but why didn't you reply?" Thea asked over th
Emma's POV The journey home felt lighter with their cheerful voices along the way. They kept talking about the animals they wanted to see, the games they wanted to play, and the delicious food they imagined they could try at the tourist attractions. Although tired, I felt grateful to have four children who always made me smile in the midst of all the chaos of life. And I knew that no matter what happened in the future, as long as I had them, everything would be okay. When I arrived home, I was immediately greeted with laughter and screams of joy from my children. They ran around the room holding toys they brought home from daycare. Seeing them excited made my heart flutter. I immediately changed into more casual clothes, distracting myself from the tiring day. After changing, I headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Even though I was tired, nothing was more satisfying to me than cooking for my children. They all loved pasta, so I decided to make
Emma's POV The question hit me hard. Yes, I was thinking about Joseph, the man who always made me feel safe, but I also knew that behind every lie I made to protect my feelings, there was a huge void that no one could fill. Not even Logan. But I couldn't just admit it. I swallowed, hardening my heart. "Yes, you're right, President Logan," I said firmly. "I like another man. And that's why I don't want you to keep bothering me. So, please, stop all this. Stop making me feel special because I don't want it." My words sounded firm, but inside, everything felt like a mess. Logan was silent, saying nothing. His gaze changed—disappointed, hurt, and maybe a little angry. But I knew that what I was doing was the only way to stop this madness. Logan shouldn't get too close to me. I wasn't the one for him. Logan finally nodded, though his eyes still flashed with disbelief. "If that's what you want, Emma," he said, his voice colder than before. "I'll stop."
Logan’s POVI was silent, feeling the weight of this burden on my shoulders. What if Scarlett was right? What if I was going to lose Emma, not because of my past, but because of the lie I’d been hiding?“But what if she can’t forgive me?” I asked, almost in despair.Scarlett smiled thinly. “If she loves you, she’ll understand. But you have to give her the chance to make that decision. You can’t live in fear all the time.”I knew Scarlett was right. I couldn’t live in the shadow of this lie. If I truly loved Emma, I had to give her the truth, no matter how hard it was.Scarlett stared at me for a moment, then took a deep breath. “Logan, you know what you have to do. Don’t waste this chance.”I nodded slowly, feeling my resolve begin to strengthen. Maybe it was time for me to stop hiding. Maybe it was time for me to face the truth, no matter the consequences.Scarlett stood up and straightened her clothes before walkin
Logan's POV "We will be restructuring the team soon, and starting today, Scarlett will be appointed general manager to replace Matthew." The room fell silent. Everyone looked shocked. Emma's eyes widened, and Scarlett looked like she couldn't believe what I had just said. "President Logan..." Scarlett finally said in a shaky voice, clearly uncomfortable with the situation. "Is... this final?" I didn't budge. "Yes. It's final." "But why me?" Scarlett asked again, her eyes staring at me with a confused look as if she didn't want to believe what she had just heard. "And why now? There was no warning, no prior discussion." "Scarlett," I said in a colder tone. "You know this company needs a leader who can make quick decisions. You're the right person for that." She was still looking at me with doubt, and out of the corner of my eye, I could see Emma looking confused and a little anxious t
Emma's POVI opened my office door with shaking hands, trying to calm myself after what happened earlier. My head was still full of all the commotion that happened, but I couldn't let it bother me any longer. As I stepped into the room, my gaze fell on my desk, which was usually my sanctuary, but this time it felt like a burden. I sat down on the chair, took a deep breath, and tried to think clearly, but my head was filled with voices colliding with each other.A moment later, my office door opened slowly, and Scarlett walked in. Her expression immediately changed when she saw my face which must have looked confused."Emma, what happened outside?" Scarlett asked, her eyes full of worry. "I heard the commotion, and everyone was talking about you."I took a deep breath, feeling the weight on my chest getting heavier as I had to tell this again. "Thea came… and she slapped me in front of everyone," I said, still not believing that it really happene
Emma's POVWhen Logan pulled my hand, I could only stare for a few seconds. The atmosphere around me felt so foreign, even though I had just arrived at the office a few minutes ago. And suddenly, Thea came attacking me like a storm. Then Logan appeared, like a hero protecting the victim, but I was not a victim, and I didn't want him to protect me like this. Especially with the way he handled the situation earlier, telling Thea to leave and then canceling the business cooperation. It was too much.I pulled my hand from his grip, and the feelings that were boiling in my chest immediately exploded."President Logan, what are you doing?" I asked in a firm tone, trying to calm myself even though my blood was still boiling. My eyes looked directly into his calm eyes. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the head office?"Logan was surprised to see my attitude. He frowned, then said calmly, "I was going to continue the problem here, but then I saw Thea
Thea’s POV"He... he slapped me, Logan," I said, my voice shaking. "I don't know what I did to make her mad." My lie slipped out of my mouth, and I saw Logan's gaze change. But before he could react, a doctor came in with water and wet towels, trying to tend to me. Meanwhile, Emma seemed rooted to the spot, not knowing what to say. Maybe she knew that no matter what happened next, everyone here already saw her as the bad guy. I had won, at least for now. I looked up at Logan's face, hoping he would show more sympathy. But Logan's expression was not what I expected. Instead, there was something different in his eyes, a coldness I had never seen before. When he finally spoke, his voice was firm, and surprisingly, it was not worry that came out of it, but cynicism. "Thea, you don't have to pretend anymore," he said flatly, releasing his grip on my arm roughly, causing my body to fall back slightly. I was shocked. What was this?
Thea's POVI swaggered into the lobby of the *City of Men* branch, my high heels clicking loudly on the marble floor, drawing the attention of several employees. Let them stare, I wanted everyone to know that I wasn't playing around. Straightening my back and lifting my chin, I searched for the person who had made me lose my mind."Emma!" I shouted loudly, my voice echoing throughout the room.Several people stopped talking and stared at me. I didn't care. My anger was already at its peak, and I wasn't going to let that woman get away this time. Where was she? Where was the woman who tried to ruin my life?Just then, the elevator doors opened, and there she stood. Emma. With her calm appearance, she seemed unfazed by my arrival, but that only made my anger worse. How could she be so calm after trying to take Logan away from me? Our eyes met, and I could see the shock on her face.Without thinking, I walked closer, each step strengthening
Cordelia’s POVI watched from a distance, watching Thea’s every move quietly as she exited Logan’s office. Her aura of frustration was palpable, and it caught my attention. In fact, I had been observing Logan and his surroundings for some time now, waiting for the right moment. Thea was the perfect tool for my plan. When she walked out of Logan’s office with a quick stride, I knew the time had come. With swift steps, I approached her before she could reach the elevator. My steps were quick, and without hesitation, I blocked her path. Her eyes narrowed at me, unaware of who I was or what I was about to do. I smiled, tilted my head slightly, and stared deeply into her eyes. “Who are you…?” she asked, her voice filled with disbelief and confusion. I didn’t need to answer her question. Instead, I let my eyes change. In an instant, my normal irises turned bright red, a radiance of power radiating with an intensity that made Thea freeze. As she star
