Michael POV
I press the button from the elevator with my eyes glued to my phone while I scroll through a contract sent by one of my assistants. The door pings opening, and I walk in without looking where I am going. People usually move away when they see me anyway. They know I am always in a rush. I raise my eyes from my phone to look at the buttons and press the thirty-third floor where my office is at the moment. We have the top floor being remodelled. There was a water pipe explosion situation that is now being dealt with.
I bring my eyes back to my phone, and I hear someone clearing their throat. I ignore it as I have more important things to attend to.
“Mr Lockwood?” I hear a man’s voice that I’ve never heard before. I lift my eyes and focus on his face. He is a beautiful tall man.
“May I help you?” I

Elisabeth POVToday has been one of those days that I would’ve stayed in bed if I could. As soon as I worked up and went to the bathroom, I bumped my little toe against the door frame, and the pain was excruciating. Then I went to make coffee to realise I don't have any because I forgot to go shopping yesterday after I came home from work. Great. My father hasn’t stopped calling me, and I agreed to meet him and my mom for dinner today after his goons appeared in the school door again, almost causing a scene.I am still not very keen on going to hat house again, and I don’t want to see my family after what they’ve done to me.I know that Samuel is still in hospital, but I don’t know for sure what happened to him, I think he was robbed and beaten really badly, or that’s what I read in the newspaper.There's been a lot of drama happening in the teacher’s lounge today. Apparent
Elisabeth POVThe Buttler opens the door offering me a small and shy smile, he’s always been quiet and reserved, ever since I was a child. “August”, I say placing a small kiss on his thin face. He looks at the floor keeping quiet while I hear my mother shouting in the living room. She is a quiet woman, I’ve never heard her shout but today she is loud.I hurry inside holding my long skirt up so I wouldn’t trip while I rush inside. I see my mother pacing around shouting at my father while he is peacefully sitting in his chair.“How could you let that happen?” Mother shouts and then her eyes meet mine and her facial expression changes from anger to sorrow. Her eyes tear up and she walks to me pulling me into a tight hug. I can’t remember the last time my mother actually hugged me, I was probably an infant when that happened.“What is going on?”, I ask as soon as the embrace ends and
Michael POV “Michael, I have to go, I understand you are busy, and it was crazy of me to ask you to come with me, but I thought it would put up a better show for your sake, not mine, about this engagement thing”, I hear Elisabeth’s sweet voice her a little higher than normal. “Elisabeth, please, reschedule it for tomorrow”, I ask waving my lawyer to give me one minute so I can finish the phone call so we can go back to dealing with Logan’s problem. “Fine”, She says way too easily, Elisabeth is stubborn and she wouldn’t change her mind that easily but for once I am glad she’s listening to me. I have way too much on my mind today to have to worry about this. “I will see you tomorrow then, send me a message with the time for dinner, and I will pick you up”, I let out in agreement with Elisabeth. It’s been hours since we have been going through all of this shit show about this Lee guy and Logan, obv
Michael POV‘If I lose her, I am coming for you”, I tell Daniel and I can see terror splashed all over his face. I am Raphael Lockwood’s son after all and if there’s something he taught me is to take care of what is ours, dealing with the consequences later. I look around and the amount of blood on the water and on the floor makes me feel a chill down my spine. I hope I got here on time.I walk fast behind the paramedics while they take Elisabeth to the ambulance. Her mother is following me crying. I try not to look at her, this is as much as her fault as it is Daniel’s, I don’t care what happened here. They are responsible for this.I wonder what happened here, why did she have the need to do this? Her mother, she was hurt, Daniel, if he touched a hair on Elisabeth’s head I will tip his off. I can’t even begin to explain how twisted my thoughts are
Logan POV I have been away for work, and it is amazing. This circuit is great. I am meeting so many people that can make my gym bigger and b better. I know that Mike is my partner and that he can help me with anything I want, but I want him to be proud of me. I want to accomplish things without asking for his help. I know I’m being proud and probably stupid but hey, who doesn’t want the love of their life to be proud of them? I can’t lie that I miss mike and I miss Beth. I can’t wait to be back in New York so that I can see them again. I have met with some of the guy exes flirts here, one of them is a lawyer now, he looks hot and wanted to have some fun, but I turned him down, old me wouldn’t have said no, old me would’ve taken the opportunity and kiss the life out of him. He’s a big-time shot lawyer now. “Logan”, he says as he sits next to me at the bar. It's almost dinner time, and I am just

Elisabeth POV My beautiful Michael and my amazing Logan are the last thoughts I have before walking into the bathroom and filling up the bathtub while I grab a letter opener from my desk. I walk to the bathroom and I open the medicine cabinet and I find some of my old prescription drugs for my anxiety and depression. I take four and put them in my mouth and I take them with the alcohol. I swallow everything and slowly I get in the tub and the water is warm, automatically relaxes my body. I lay down and I take the letter opener and I look at it. With my right hand I put pressure with it on my left arm and it stings. I close my eyes and I pull it down. Automatically my body starts shaking and t
Michael POV Elisabeth has been on and off of sleep. That gives me time to try and sort out the Logan problem. I pinch the bridge of my nose while I look at my phone. I am reading emails with everything that is being said about Logan’s case and I can’t help but feel angry. George has been keeping me updated about everything that is going on with the lawyers and how there is already a search warrant for Logan’s house. For fuck sake. I want to know exactly what that guy is trying to accomplish but whatever it is it’s getting me agitated and I don’t like this feeling, I don’t like to have things out of my control like this. George keeps messaging while I read the reports and I can’t help but feel like I should be there, but at the same time I don’t want to leave Elisabeth. I can’t leave her alone. Not with her family. “Is everything okay?” Elisabeth asks at the same time my phone beeps with a messa
Logan POV “We Love you”, I let out kissing the top of Elisabeth’s head. Michael nods his head and Beth extends her hand to Mike that takes it and sits next to me on the bed. “Do you really?”, Beth asks and we nods out heads, her smile shines bright and I can’t help but feel my heart flutter. She is so beautiful, and I can’t wait to take her home and keep her close to me at all times. “I love the both of you, and I don’t want to chose…”, Beth starts saying and I know where this is going so I put one finger in front of her lips making her stop talking. “We would never ask you to chose, we are a package deal, you either get the two of us or you won’t get neither” I let out and Beth nods her head, she rests her head on my chest and closes her eyes, I know she is tired. Mike’s hand pass through
Michael POV Today I am meeting my son, I can’t believe this is actually happening. Elisabeth has been in bed rest for three months and now Elisabeth is being taken to the operating room where she will be having a c-section for the baby’s to be born. Elisabeth had a complication during the pregnancy as she developed diabetes and that put the baby’s at risk. Her food was monitored and she definitely wasn’t happy about it but she knew it was for the best for the twins. We are having a boy and a girl. We decided that the kids will know who their biological father is but we will make no distinctions between them. We love them both equally. “This way”, Logan says running down the corridor with me following him. Elisabeth has been in the hospital for the last two days and today is the day, thing is we were home when she started to go into labour.
Michael POV It’s been three days since the wedding and I couldn’t be happier, the press is making a spectacle out of everything, they are making me look like a dick, being with Beth and Logan, luckily a lot of people support me and them. It’s not the end of the world to love two people unconditionally, I am just lucky that I have found two people to love instead of just one. Some people might not even find one in their lifetime and I have two, two people that I love unconditionally and that love me more than I ever thought possible. Today we will be finding out the results of the DNA test and I can’t help but feel a little nervous. I am quite anxious and so is Logan, I can tell. I haven’t been able to sleep properly last night. I even left the room while Logan and Beth had a steamy make out session. I just couldn’t focus as I am worried, what if the kids are not mine? What if they are Logan’s? I know that I will love them the same as if they were min
Logan POV The ceremony has ended and now it’s time for the party, Mel, Olivia, my mom and Beth went all in on this, I stayed out of it and so did Mike. None of us has a death wish, messing with wedding arrangements seems wrong and I know that whatever I suggested would’ve been denied, so I stayed away. Besides Beth is extremely hormonal and everything makes her cry, so I would always end up doing whatever she wanted just so she wouldn’t cry. Elisabeth wanted to be married to us before the babies were born, we will be finding out the DNA of the twins, we decided to do it before the wedding and find our after, like that it doesn’t matter who’s who, we are all married, we all share responsibilities and we will all love those kids. I can’t help but think that I would love the twins to be mine but I know how broken Mike would be if they are not his. After all twins run in his family and not in mine, so the probability of them being his are higher than min
Michael POV “Are you ready?”, Mel asks as she opens the door, I am sitting in the corner of the room finishing up the laces of my shoes. “Almost”, I say and she smiles as she sits in the end of the bed. “Have you seen her?”, I ask and Mel nods her head in excitement. “She looks absolutely beautiful”, Mel says and I smile at the same time Gabe walks in without knocking. “Are you ready?”, he asks me and I nod my head standing up in front of the mirror looking at my reflection. “Your father would be so proud”, Mom says as she approaches me from behind. I turn around and pull her into a tight hug. I see tears rolling down her eyes and Mel tells her she needs to stop or she will ruin her makeup. I look at the mirror and think about dad, I never looked like him or had anything in common with the man but he was my dad, he was the most important man in my life, he was th
Elisabeth POV As soon as Michael and Logan leave the house, I walk back into the bedroom, picking up the white dress Michael got me from the back of the closet and placing it in the bed. I have a quick shower and do some light makeup, and I leave my hair down, cascading down my back. I put the dress on, and it hugs my figure perfectly. I smile at the mirror, looking at myself. I look like a bride. The dress is long, covering the length of my legs, it doesn’t have a back, and the small straps fall on the side of my shoulders. I pick up the little box Michael left for me in the dresser. I see my beautiful ring in it, and I put it on; I am not expecting Michael to propose to me again, we talked about it, and I know how committed he is to propose to Logan, and I don’t want to put more pressure on him. He already proposed once, and I am okay with it. I walk out of the room, and as soon as I open the
Logan POV Michael is taking me out on a date today. It’s our first official date as a couple out in the open. I can’t lie, I am really nervous. Beth is helping me to get ready as she chooses a grey suit to match my eyes apparently. It makes no sense as I have blue eyes but I agree with her. She has been extremely hormonal this past week and I decide to say yes to everything, she is ruthless. “Come, put this on”, she says offering me a blue tie. I look at her shaking my head, I put a limit on tie, I will wear the suit but a tie? Really? Where is he taking me? To the freaking opera? “Do I really have to? It’s just not me”, I say and she looks at me dead serious. I think that at any point smoke will start to appear from her ears, she looks that upset. “If you are not going to wear what I give you, why did you ask me to help you?”, she asks throwing the tie at the bed and walking out of the
Michael POV After a long soak in the bath with me and Logan Elisabeth is having a nap all wrapped up around him, I kiss the top of her head and he smiles at me. He is reading the newspaper on his phone, I get out of bed and walk out of the room typing on my phone. I put my shoes on as I get ready to leave the house. I need to share the news with my family. I think this kind of good news will do them good. I will tell mom later, she is in a spiritual retreat somewhere, basically she is getting drunk and eating her weight in ice cream and carbs in a expensive hotel somewhere. You know what? Good for her. She needs to rest and she needs to grieve. Gabe and Mel are meeting me in my apartment, I don’t know why I still own an apartment, I am basically living with Logan and Elisabeth in Logan’s apartment, but we will have to move to somewhere bigger, we need more space with the twins and I will have m
Michael POV “Are you sure you’re okay with this?” I ask Elisabeth as we walk into the private room in the back of the jewellery owned by Gabe. She offers me her hand, and I take it without hesitation. The manager takes us to a small closed room right at the back, it has perfect light and privacy, that’s exactly what I need. The room is elegant and well decorated, providing the privacy I need to choose this ring. He offers us coffee, and we kindly accept as he puts some cushioned displayers in front of me, all of them with wedding bands and engagement rings. How am I supposed to choose? I look at Elisabeth that is looking carefully at each one of them until her eyes stop and they shine. She offers me a smile, and she sees a thick gold band with a small, almost invisible diamond in the middle, her eyes shine, and I know what she’s thinking. “This is the one”, she says, and I smile at her, grabbing the ring with my left hand. “Are you sure?”. I
Logan POV Elisabeth and I have been keeping to ourselves, I don’t want to interfere with the ceremony and Beth is feeling a little under the weather, after all her father got killed the same day. Although she had no emotional connection to the guy she still cried after he dies, it was her father after all. Mike has been with his family this entire time and he always looks deep in thought, I haven’t seen him shed a tear, in fact the only person I’ve seen crying was Olivia, while Gabe, Mike and Mel haven’t showed their emotions today. I don’t think that is healthy but who am I to say anything, they feel how they feel and one thing I know is that they are all messed up in some way or another. River is standing in the end of the room talking to some people and she gives me a small wave. I wave back and all of a sudden Mike stands up and walks towards us. “Hey, how are you feeling?”, I ask M
