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.

    Heath paused, as if deciding how much to reveal.Then he leaned forward. ‘Remember Donatella Pagano?’‘Sure.’ Alessia had helped Heath gather intel on the missing socialite.‘Turns out, her family and the police are not the only ones looking for her. During my investigation, I found out that the charity she’s involved in, Children’s Hope Foundation, sent men to track her down as well. I thought they were looking to recover the funds she’d embezzled, understandably. But that’s not all. After Mauro Benetti took over as the chairman, he’d slowly transformed the charity into a front for human trafficking. When Donatella absconded with his money, he knew the police would come looking and decided it was time to pull up stakes. So he sent a bunch of his operatives to abduct as many women as they could.’ Heath scoffed. ‘Shad said Benetti called it the last shipment.’‘How many women did they take?’ Alessia asked.‘Eighteen, as far as Shad can tell. Could be more. We are still looking.’‘I don

    Logan stared at Alessia, a myriad of emotions flickering across his eyes. ‘Are you sure about this?’‘Yes.’In the heartbeat that followed, he dipped his head, his kiss a swift thief that stole her breath.The patience he had exhibited for hours crumbled, a façade of restraint that had been politely upheld.The mantle of gentlemanliness was cast aside, its weight unnecessary now.No longer confined by propriety, Logan wrapped Alessia’s legs around his waist and carried her to the master bedroom.His breath caressed her ear as he laid her down on the big bed. ‘You’re fully awake now.’Alessia blinked. ‘Yes.’She was, indeed, fully present in the moment, her thoughts unclouded.Logan’s gaze bore into her. ‘Alessia, are you absolutely sure this is what you want?’Alessia rolled her eyes.She raised her right hand as if to swear an oath. ‘I, Alessia Jansen, of sound mind and body, hereby declare that my decision to sleep with Logan Wilde is made of my own volition, free from any form of c

    ‘I want to nullify the contract,’ Alessia rasped. ‘I’m willing to pay the penalty.’Logan chuckled. ‘Maybe you’ll change your mind once you know what the penalty is.’He leaned down and whispered something in her ear, before starting to nibble her earlobe playfully.Alessia had no strength to lift even a finger.She put up a token protest. ‘You are a beast.’‘I’ll take that as a compliment.’‘It wasn’t meant as one.’As retribution, he pounded harder.‘I was wrong,’ Alessia gasped. ‘You are not a beast. You are a beast in heat.’‘That’s an expression for female animals.’‘Then what’s the equivalent for males?’‘There isn’t one.’ Logan pecked her lips. ‘Males are always in heat.’‘As I’ve found out to my cost,’ she muttered.Alessia turned her head, and a chill of realisation ran down her spine.The bedroom windows had been open the whole time, their curtains dancing like ghostly figures in the night breeze.She shrieked. ‘Logan! The windows are open!’‘Darling, we’re on the top floor.

    Logan stepped into the master bedroom, his footsteps softened by the plush carpet underfoot.The room was hushed, the only sound the gentle rise and fall of Alessia’s breathing as she lay curled beneath the covers.He couldn’t help but pause for a moment, admiring the serene sight before him.Sinking onto the edge of the bed, he gazed down at her with a mixture of fondness and reminiscence.It had been quite a night—one he would no doubt replay in his mind over and over again.And if she weren’t sound asleep, he might have wanted the night to continue.His phone vibrated on the nightstand.Logan picked it up when he saw Heath’s name flash across the screen and left the bedroom.‘Logan, I’ve got news. Jeramy’s been attacked in lockup, badly. He’s in the hospital.’Logan stood in front of the French window, his face impassive.He had little sympathy for a man like Jeramy, especially given the vile intentions he’d harboured.‘And how’s that my concern?’Heath’s tone tightened. ‘His testi

    Alessia’s fingers danced over her phone’s screen, her thumbs working with feverish intensity.She had no time to spare as she typed out a text to Veronica, asking for an update on the situation.Her sister’s response came swiftly. ‘Still haven’t found him.’The car soon turned onto Willow Street, and the scenery shifted dramatically.It was a rundown street lined with old and dilapidated buildings, and the neighbourhood was known for its above-average crime rate and poverty.The street was named after the willow trees that used to line the sidewalks, but most of them had been cut down or destroyed due to neglect and urban decay.Terence pulled up in front of the Willowshire Court complex.Alessia leapt out of the car before it had fully stopped. ‘Thanks.’‘Is there anything I can do? Should I stay?’ Terence asked.Alessia considered the offer.If Milo was indeed missing, involving the police might be necessary and more useful.She offered Terence a distracted shake of her head. ‘No, t

    Milo remained quiet, his once-restless energy quelled in the face of the turmoil he had inadvertently caused.He set down the tablet, his eyes downcast.‘You know better than this, Miles Jansen.’ Alessia’s voice was low but stern. ‘Why did you leave the house at six in the morning without telling anyone?’Milo played with his fingers. ‘I left a note.’‘A note?’ Alessia’s brows furrowed. ‘Aunt Vero didn’t see any note. If you wanted to make sure she saw it, you should’ve put it on the nightstand next to her bed, or stuck the note to her phone. She was scared out of her wits, Milo. You can’t just disappear like that.’‘I’m sorry,’ he murmured.Alessia’s eyes softened, but her unsmiling expression remained. ‘Even with a note, you shouldn’t have gone out at that hour. You’re just a kid. Where did you go?’Milo fell silent, his eyes flickering as he wrestled with the truth he held within.Last night had been a whirlwind of covert activities for the five-year-old.After he hacked into Aless

    Alessia offered a weary smile. ‘Maybe.’Veronica’s gaze sharpened, an impish glint dancing in her eyes as she noticed something Alessia might have overlooked.‘Well, well, well,’ she practically purred, her fingers reaching to tug at the collar of Alessia’s dress. ‘What have we here?’Alessia looked down, and a flush of embarrassment blossomed across her cheeks as she glimpsed the telltale mark upon her skin.‘This is Logan’s handiwork, isn’t it?’ Veronica smirked knowingly. ‘Still want to deny you spent the night with him?’Alessia’s blush deepened. ‘Fine, yes, I spent the night with him.’‘Well, well, my dear sister,’ Veronica teased. ‘I had no idea things were moving so fast between you two.’Alessia shifted on the sofa, her legs tingling at the memory. ‘I... um, should go check on Milo.’‘Speaking of,’ Veronica lowered her voice. ‘It’s a good thing that you and Logan are together. Makes it easier when you tell him about Milo, don’t you think?’Alessia considered this and conceded

    ‘What do you think about having a mother?’ Logan looked straight at his son.Arlie blinked in surprise.After a moment’s consideration, he replied, ‘Sure.’Logan studied him, pausing before speaking again, ‘You don’t seem too thrilled, though.’‘No,’ Arlie shook his head gently, ‘It’s not a big deal to me. But, Dad, you do need a wife.’Logan was taken aback. ‘So, you’re not interested in having a mother?’Arlie shrugged nonchalantly. ‘It doesn’t really matter to me. I’m content with having you, Great-grandpa Albert, Uncle Penshaw and Sunny in my life. Besides, whoever you find should be someone willing to spend their life with you, not me.’Logan found himself surprised by Arlie’s maturity.His hand reached out to ruffle his son’s hair. ‘You’ve got a way of putting things that’s beyond your years.’Arlie acknowledged the compliment with a nod. ‘What kind of wife are you searching for, then? She must be pretty amazing to win you over.’Logan held his son’s gaze for a long while, then

    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

    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

    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 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 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

    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

    ‘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
