Logan held her in his piercing gaze before abruptly releasing her and climbing out of the water, making his way to the changing room.

Alessia hesitated to leave the pool, consumed by the fear of encountering Logan in the changing room.

Paralysed by apprehension, she remained rooted in the water, unwilling to make a move.

Ten minutes passed, yet Logan didn’t make an appearance.

Alessia’s anxiety intensified, her eyes darting around the area.

Just then, a voice echoed from a distance, breaking the tension.

‘Miss Jansen, Mr Wilde has already left. I’ll escort you back to the office,’ Terence called out.

Relieved, Alessia let out a sigh and nodded gratefully.

‘Take your time to change,’ said Terence. ‘I’ll be waiting in the front hall.’

Once Terence departed, Alessia hurriedly made her way to the changing room.

    Lara curled her lips into a suggestive smile. ‘But I guess every cloud has a silver lining, huh?

Sorry about that.’Alessia finally managed to catch her breath. ‘It’s fine. I just choked.’Unfazed, Lara continued with her inquiry, curiosity burning in her eyes. ‘So, Alessia, where did you go with Mr Wilde today?’‘It’s a house somewhere on the outskirts of the city, I guess,’ Alessia said, eager to end the conversation.‘And what did you do?’ Lara prodded, undeterred by Alessia’s lack of enthusiasm.Alessia hadn’t expected Lara to be so nosy.‘We had a brief chat. I apologised sincerely, and that was that.’Lara was clearly unconvinced, her gaze fixed on Al

    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.

    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

    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.

    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
