The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 140 Merchandise
Back when they were still married, Wilda had given the front door combination to Jeramy.But since she bought the property at The View long before their marriage, it didn’t come up during the divorce proceedings and she’d forgotten all about it.Apparently, Jeramy hadn’t.What the hell was he doing there?Wilda got in her car and gave the address to her driver.As the engine started, she sent a text to Lee. ‘Let me know once you have eyes on Alessia.’***The pounding of blood in her ears drowned out Alessia’s racing heartbeat as she continued grinding the rope with a fierce determination.Her wrists were sore and bleeding, but she knew she couldn’t stop.The metallic clanging signalled the return of her abductor.Alessia remained very still.The iron door creaked open.The man stepped into the dimly lit space, carrying a plastic shopping bag with one hand.Alessia kept her gaze steady, not allowing herself to show any sign of fear.‘I hope you are not getting bored,’ the man said wit

Logan called Wilda Hicks.The chief editor’s surprise was evident in her voice as she answered, ‘Mr Wilde?’‘Wilda, have you heard from Alessia?’A brief pause followed, and Logan could sense the hesitation in Wilda’s tone. ‘No, I haven’t. I sent one of my staff to her house. He says the door’s locked and no one appears to be home.’‘She didn’t apply for leave?’‘No. Which is why I’m getting so worried. This isn’t like her. Alessia was supposed to go for an interview this afternoon. She’d put in a lot of work to prep for it. I don’t think she’d just pull a vanishing act like this.’Logan’s gut twisted with dread. ‘Thanks, Wilda. Call me the minute you have an update.’Logan hung up and rubbed his temples, worry and unease gnawing at him.Then he made another call. ‘Heath, it’s Logan. We might have a problem.’‘What’s going on?’‘Alessia,’ Logan’s voice was taut. ‘She might be missing. I need your help.’‘Tell me everything you know.’Logan’s words came in a rush. ‘Alessia’s gone AWOL.

‘I was married to her for more than seven years,’ Jeramy said. ‘I’m familiar with her routine. I can give you the time and place that’s easiest for you to grab her.’The two of them lit up a cigarette each and smoked in silence for a while.Shad’s voice sliced through the smoky haze, laden with suspicion. ‘Tell me, Jeramy, is that Alessia woman really Logan Wilde’s girlfriend?’‘She’s lying.’ Jeramy snorted with derision. ‘She’s not his girlfriend. A side piece, at most. You know how these rich men like to have different flavours of the month.’Shad’s eyes narrowed as he leaned in, his voice a low rumble. ‘So, this woman is really involved with Logan?’Jeramy said vaguely, ‘Looks that way. But that was before I got fired from BuzzBeat. I wouldn’t know what the status of their relationship is now.’He studied Shad’s face. ‘You’re not thinking about calling Logan to demand ransom, are you?’When Shad said nothing, Jeramy exploded in rage. ‘Are you f*cking stupid? Alessia’s seen your fac

The phone call came abruptly, shattering the silence in Logan’s office where he’d been pacing for the past half an hour.Heath’s voice was sharp. ‘Logan, I tried again. Alessia’s phone is switched off, but I reached out to her network provider. I’ve got the IMEI number. Her last active location was Lavender Street at 7.55 am today.’Logan connected the dots in an instant. ‘Lavender Street? That’s the BuzzBeat office. She was on her way to work.’‘Yup. I’ve requested access to traffic cam footage on that street. My team is already combing through the recordings, trying to identify her. I’ll update you the moment I have something.’‘Thanks, Heath.’Logan hung up and then made another call. ‘Wilda, it’s Logan. Have you heard from Alessia?’‘I’m afraid the answer’s still no.’‘I need to ask you something.’‘Sure.’‘Does Alessia have any enemies?’Wilda took a moment to think it through. ‘Not any that I know of. Alessia gets on well with most of her colleagues. But then again, I’ve only be

Alessia had to climb onto the chair and stand on tiptoe to reach it, her ankles protesting every movement.The window pane was missing, a lucky break for her.Through sheer will, she squeezed her body through the empty frame, mindful of the voices that could return at any moment.She dropped to the ground on the other side, her ankle twisting painfully.Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and her skin paled from the agony.But she couldn’t afford to scream.She hobbled away from the factory, each step a symphony of pain and purpose.The suburban landscape she found herself in was unfamiliar.A field stretched before her, with tall grass that swayed in the breeze.Trees reached toward the sky, wildflowers dotted the ground.It was a scene of serenity that contrasted with her chaotic reality.The scent of earth and blossoms enveloped her, providing a stark contrast to the sterile captivity she’d endured.Birds chirped in the distance, the rustling leaves played a soft melody, and the

Alessia’s body went still, her breathing hitching as she turned, her gaze locking onto Logan’s face.Emotions swirled within her, a tumultuous storm that threatened to consume her.She opened her eyes wide, afraid to blink, believing Logan’s mirage would disappear if she did.She opened her mouth to speak, but before words could form, her world shifted.Darkness descended as her body surrendered to unconsciousness.Logan caught Alessia’s limp body just in time.He removed his suit jacket and draped it over her half-n*ked body.His heart clenched at the sight of her bloodied wrists and swollen face.Gingerly, he lifted her into his arms.He cradled her protectively and marched towards his car.Terence had just caught up with him, still catching his breath.‘Call the police,’ Logan ordered. ‘Have these two men arrested.’He carried Alessia to his car, carefully placing her in the backseat.The engine roared to life as he accelerated towards the nearest hospital.***Alessia’s eyelids fl

‘Um, about the medical expenses, I’ll pay you back later.’ Alessia tried hard to recall if she had insurance, but her brain was still slow.Logan breathed heavily. ‘Is that all you have to say to me?’‘I already said thank you.’‘And?’‘And what?’Logan clenched his jaw.This time, when Alessia tried to get up again, he was less gentle. ‘Where the hell do you think you’re going?’‘To the bathroom,’ Alessia replied matter-of-factly.‘Oh.’ Logan rose and made way.He watched her shuffle into the en suite bathroom, the IV stand trailing comically behind her.Through the closed door, he called out, ‘Need a hand in there?’Alessia shouted back, ‘No, thank you!’Emerging from the bathroom a while later, Alessia scanned the room.‘What are you looking for?’‘My clothes.’Logan’s question was tinged with exasperation. ‘Still trying to leave? Why are you being so stubborn?’‘The doctor said I don’t have to stay here. I’d like to leave.’‘You need to rest. You can’t go home like this.’‘I’m not

Alessia allowed herself to sink deeper, the water’s warmth enveloping her, wrapping her in a cocoon of solitude.The events of today seemed to ebb away, replaced by the tranquillity of the moment.With each breath, the tension that had clung to her shoulders began to loosen, the worries of the world fading into the distance.She drifted off.***Alessia’s eyes snapped open at the sensation of someone shaking her shoulders, jolting her awake.Her heart raced as her gaze met Logan’s.In the split second it took to process her surroundings, the realisation hit her—she was still submerged in the tub, utterly n*ked.Instinctively, her hands flew to cover her breasts, her cheeks flushing with a mixture of mortification and surprise. ‘What... what are you doing here?’His hands were still on her shoulders. ‘You’ve been in the bath for almost an hour. I knocked and called out, but you didn’t reply. I thought you might have drowned in here.’‘Oh.’ Alessia grimaced, embarrassed.Logan’s grip ti

The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 304 No More Surprises
The city lights shimmered through the window, casting a soft glow over Alessia’s hotel room.She sank into the plush armchair, exhaling a weariness that settled deep into her bones.The day had been a whirlwind of interviews and deadlines, leaving her both physically and mentally drained.With a flick of her wrist, she loosened the tight bun that held her long hair, letting it cascade down her shoulders in unruly waves.The laptop on the polished mahogany table beckoned, a testament to the professional demands that consumed her day.Alessia leaned forward, fingers dancing across the keys as she organized her interview notes, a meticulous symphony of clicks and clacks.She paused, her gaze shifting to the phone by her side.Two missed calls from an unknown number flashed on the screen, and her heart skipped a beat.For a moment, hope surged through her—perhaps it was Logan.But as she listened to the voicemail, disappointment settled in.It was merely a wrong number, a mundane interrup
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 303 Desperate Scheme
With the briefcase in hand, Logan left the office and got in his car.He did not involve Terence; the meeting could be dangerous.Besides, he had backup.Logan raced through the city streets, weaving through traffic with a desperate determination.The clock was ticking, and the warehouse loomed ahead like a dark, ominous secret.As he approached the entrance, the flickering neon lights buzzed overhead, casting eerie shadows on the crumbling walls.Logan stepped into the darkness, the echoes of his footsteps the only sound in the desolate space.A figure emerged from the shadows, wearing a hooded jacket to conceal their identity.Logan’s pulse quickened, his senses on high alert.‘I brought the money, now show me Sirena,’ he demanded, his voice steady but edged with a simmering rage.The figure chuckled, the sound echoing eerily through the cavernous space. ‘Impatient, aren’t we?’He pulled out a phone from his pocket.With a swift motion, he tapped the screen, and a small screen on th

The city lights glittered below as Alessia and Vince sat in a trendy rooftop bar in Hamborough, taking in the breathtaking view.The change of scenery had indeed granted Alessia a temporary escape from the complexities of her life back in Veridian.Alessia raised her glass, sipping a colourful cocktail. ‘Here’s to new beginnings and escaping the chaos,’ she said with a half-smile.Vince clinked his glass with hers. ‘To new beginnings,’ he echoed, a faint smile playing on his lips.As the evening unfolded, the atmosphere became more relaxed.The city buzzed around them, providing a backdrop for a momentary reprieve.Alessia found herself enjoying Vince’s company, appreciating the unspoken connection they had cultivated over the years.Amidst the clinking of glasses and the distant hum of the city, Alessia sensed an opportunity to share the intricacies of her life.She turned to Vince, her eyes reflecting a mixture of weariness and determination.‘You know, Vince, Logan’s first marriage
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 301 Opportunist
Logan’s office at Wilde Enterprises was a haven of order in contrast to the chaos unravelling in his personal life.The sterile hum of fluorescent lights bathed the room as he sifted through paperwork, attempting to find solace in the routine of his professional responsibilities.His phone buzzed, the screen lighting up with Heath’s name.Logan’s heart skipped a beat as he answered the call, the outside world fading away as he focused on the voice at the other end.‘Heath,’ Logan greeted, his tone carrying the weight of worry.‘We found her,’ Heath’s voice crackled through the phone. ‘She was at the BuzzBeat office. Got into a bit of a scuffle with Alessia.’Logan’s temples throbbed in response, the news striking him like a physical blow. ‘Alessia? Is she okay?’There was a pause on the line, and Logan could almost feel the hesitation in Heath’s response. ‘According to the colleague who filed the police report, she’s got a couple of scratches, but otherwise, she’s fine.’Relief washed
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 300 Plan B
The room was cloaked in a muted glow from the bedside lamp, casting a warm light on the framed photographs that adorned the walls.Sirena moved silently, her eyes scanning each corner of her parents’ room as she began the meticulous search for anything of value.Ralph was still in intensive care, which meant Naomi wouldn’t leave his side, giving Sirena the time she needed for a thorough search.Her fingers brushed against the cool surface of a polished wooden dresser, adorned with small trinkets that echoed the laughter of her childhood.A porcelain figurine, a relic from a family vacation, stood alongside a faded picture of her parents and a much younger Sirena.The memories were bittersweet, a reminder of the life she had left behind.As Sirena opened drawers with deliberate care, the soft rustling of papers mixed with the creak of aged furniture.In one drawer, she found a stack of handwritten letters tied together with a ribbon.Memories of birthday wishes, expressions of love, an
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 299 Departure
The Veridian airport bustled with a kinetic energy that only a major transport hub could exude.Travellers weaved through the expansive terminal, navigating a sea of bustling crowds and rolling luggage.The air hummed with the constant murmur of announcements, the clatter of footsteps, and the intermittent symphony of departure gates chiming to life.Alessia, her eyes scanning the digital departure board, stood amidst the organized chaos.The Veridian airport, a sprawling architectural marvel, boasted high ceilings adorned with sleek modern designs.Concourse shops beckoned with an array of luxury goods, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air from the bustling cafes.It had been a long time since she flew—juggling a job and raising two kids hadn’t left a lot of time for the luxury of flying.‘Hey, I thought that was you.’ Someone tapped her on the shoulder.Alessia, startled, turned around to find Vince, a smile playing on his lips.‘Vince, what are you doing he
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 298 Elaborate Scheme
Naomi scoffed, bitterness lacing her tone. ‘Make things right? Can you bring back the peace we had before you barged in with your promises and complications?’Logan shook his head. ‘I can’t change the past, Naomi, but I can help with the present. Let me take care of Ralph’s medical bills. It’s the least I can do.’Her expression hardened, and she retorted, ‘Money won’t fix the damage you’ve caused. Sirena is missing, Ralph’s heart is failing, and our lives are in shambles. Don’t pretend you can fix it with a cheque.’Her words were still ringing in his head hours later.Logan stood on the roof, smoking, lost in thought, until his phone rang with an urgency that cut through the air like a serrated blade.He glanced at the caller ID, and a sinking feeling gripped his stomach as he answered.‘Logan, what the hell is going on?’ Albert’s voice, usually a bastion of calm, resonated with a furious edge. ‘Alessia called me, all cold and distant, calling me Mr Wilde instead of Grandpa. And she
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 297 Heart Attack
‘Ralph! Naomi, call an ambulance!’ Logan’s urgency cut through the stunned silence, and Naomi, her face pale with shock, fumbled for her phone.Panic swirled in the room as Ralph clutched his chest, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.He toppled backwards.‘Ralph!’ Logan caught the old man in time.Within moments, the wail of an ambulance echoed through the quiet neighbourhood.Naomi and Logan hurriedly helped Ralph onto a stretcher, his face strained with agony.The ambulance doors slammed shut, trapping the trio in a suffocating bubble of uncertainty.The ambulance tore through the city’s arteries, its siren piercing.Inside, the confined space thrummed with urgency.Naomi clung to the edge of her seat, her eyes unblinking as she watched the paramedics work on her husband.Ralph lay supine on the stretcher—his heart just stopped.The heart monitor emitted a relentless warning beep.Naomi’s hands trembled as she tried to steady herself, the medical jargon exchanged by the paramed

Naomi stirred the simmering chicken soup, the aroma filling the kitchen with warmth.She glanced at Ralph, who was grabbing his keys.‘Ready to head to the hospital?’ he asked.‘Absolutely,’ Naomi replied, wiping her hands on her apron. ‘Hand me the thermos.’They were only allowed to visit Sirena once each day, the visit lasting no longer than half an hour.The doctor explained that the restricted visits were important to establish routine in Sirena’s life.As they prepared to leave, they heard a knock on the door.Surprised, they exchanged a puzzled glance before opening the door.Standing on their doorstep was Logan. ‘Can we talk?’Naomi and Ralph exchanged a wary look but nodded, allowing him inside.Logan took a deep breath, eyeing them both. ‘I’m sure you know why I’m here. I need Sirena to sign those divorce papers.’It had been almost three days since Sirena’s hospitalisation, and Logan had waited long enough.Naomi’s lips trembled. ‘Logan, we can’t believe you’ve moved on so
