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
