Emma's POV
After making sure all the kids were asleep, I walked into the room and grabbed my phone that was lying on the table. Tiredness was starting to creep up on me, but I felt the need to talk to Scarlett. For the past few days, it seemed like we hadn't spent much time together, and I needed a little cheer.I dialed Scarlett's number and picked it up when she answered."Hello, Scarlett!" My voice was cheerful, but a little tired."Hey, Emma! How are you?" Scarlett's voice sounded warm on the other end."I'm fine. Just finished dinner with the kids. They're very cheerful, as usual," I replied, sitting on the edge of the bed."That's good to hear! They must make you feel better after all the drama at work." Scarlett sounded enthusiastic, and it warmed my heart to hear her voice."Yeah, but I'm still tired. And the Logan thing's confusing me too," I said, my voice dropping slightly."Logan? Still botheringEmma Parker's POV “God, you’re beautiful,” he murmured against my neck, his breath hot on my skin. I responded with a soft moan, words feeling inadequate to express the intensity of the moment. Our clothes seemed to disappear with a sense of urgency, each piece discarded on the floor. He lifted me, and I wrapped my legs around his waist, his strength a comforting anchor in the swirling chaos of our desire. We tumbled onto the couch, a tangle of limbs and breathless gasps. His touch was everywhere, exploring, and teasing, and I matched him with equal fervor. The world outside ceased to exist; there was only the two of us, lost in this heady intoxication. His lips traced a path down my neck, his hands exploring the curves of my body as if mapping them for the first time. “Do you want this?” he whispered, his voice hoarse with need. “Yes,” I breathed, my voice trembling with anticipation. He entered me then, a sensation so intense that it stole my breath away. We moved togeth
Logan Carter's POV “Train properly. Keep this in mind! What were you born for? What is your life goal? Never waste training, even underestimate it. Your passion is difficult to control. I don't want to hear anything bad in the future. Even if you do things out of control, remember that I will gladly beat you all up. Remember that!" I grew up in the Crescent Moon Pack which is not far from the human city. We were born for a purpose. For that reason, I teach the young wolves to always stick to their goals. And their birth was no coincidence. Of course, there must be a purpose. That's why I'm strict with them, even though I don't care about my clan, I won't do this to them. I will let them live as they wish. Just like all humans, werewolves also have to be educated from childhood, it's not that far, right? The only difference is strength and transfiguration. Only that. The phone rang which broke my focus. I stayed away from the area where the young wolves were doing training. Witho
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
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
Emma's POV After making sure all the kids were asleep, I walked into the room and grabbed my phone that was lying on the table. Tiredness was starting to creep up on me, but I felt the need to talk to Scarlett. For the past few days, it seemed like we hadn't spent much time together, and I needed a little cheer.

And the Logan thing's confusing me too," I said, my voice dropping slightly. "Logan? Still bothering
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
