Alessia answered the call with a quick ‘Hello, Mr Carpenter.’

Heath’s voice came through crystal clear on the line. ‘Miss Jansen,’ he said. ‘I’m calling about the guy your sister got into a scrap with. He did take a beating, and his spleen was bleeding. While he wasn’t in dire straits on the way to the police station, things went south during the interrogation. My colleagues rushed him to the hospital, and he had to go under the knife.’

Alessia couldn’t hide her surprise.

She kept her voice even, knowing Veronica was eavesdropping. ‘I understand, Mr Carpenter. What’s the next move? Tell me, and I’ll handle it.’

Heath continued in a softer tone, ‘Alessia, Logan asked Terence to foot the medical bills, but he didn’t want you to know. But I thought you should be in the loop.’

Alessia was taken aback, not expecting Logan to play it so low-key.

She asked, ‘Why would he do that?’

Heath’s response had a touch of warmth. ‘Maybe he realised he was too harsh to you earlier. That’s just his styl

    Still in shock, Alessia struggled to comprehend the reality before her.Her eyes remained glued to the screen, disbelief written across her face.Was this real?‘Mummy?’ Milo raised an eyebrow, seeking her attention. ‘Hey, what do you think?’Alessia snapped back to reality. ‘Oh, sorry, baby. What were you saying?’‘You can transfer the money to your account and leave me a grand to keep gaming,’ Milo suggested.Alessia hugged her son tightly, her heart filled with a mix of emotions.She hadn’t known her little boy could rake in so much cash.It certainly solved their immediate problem.‘Milo, I need to borrow some of this, but I’ll pay you back. The rest, I’ll save for you,’ Alessia said.Milo, however, had different plans. ‘No need, Mum. How about we buy a house? This place is just a rental, and if we have the cash, we can get a home of our own. I heard money loses value sitting in the bank.’Hearing her son’s mature suggestion, Alessia’s heart swelled with pride. ‘That’s true.’She

    ‘When I was admitted to the hospital and stayed in a VIP ward, it was Logan who covered the fees for me,’ Alessia explained. ‘I doubt that $5,000 will even cover all the expenses he incurred. If he believes it’s insufficient, tell him to give me an amount, and I’ll repay it.’Heath was baffled. ‘Alessia, are you trying to draw a clear line? Why don’t you just give this to Logan directly?’‘Please just help me return the money to him,’ Alessia insisted. ‘I don’t like owing people.’Heath sighed. ‘Alessia, has anyone ever told you how stubborn you could be?’‘Yes.’ Alessia smiled. ‘More than one person, and more than once.’‘Logan had no intention of having you repay him. You don’t need to concern yourself with this.’‘No, I’d rather return it,’ Alessia replied. ‘Otherwise, people might misunderstand and think I want his money. It’s just too embarrassing.’‘You know he won’t think that.’‘I don’t care what he thinks.’‘Fine.’ Heath picked up the card and grinned. ‘The password is six ze

    Logan turned to see Olivia Anderson approaching.The actress flashed a bright smile. ‘Mr Wilde, what brings you here today?’Logan ignored her and walked past her.‘Mr Wilde?’ the club manager greeted him as soon as he saw him.‘My usual spot.’ Logan didn’t break his stride.‘Of course.’ The manager escorted Logan to a reserved private room.Olivia and her assistant followed closely behind.The actress gave her assistant a meaningful look, who promptly departed.Logan settled onto a long plush sofa.When he looked up and saw the actress, he scowled. ‘What are you doing here?’Olivia smiled and took a seat opposite him. ‘Mr Wilde, I was hoping you could do me a favour.’Logan’s tone remained cold. ‘Do you think I have the time for that?’Ignoring his frosty demeanour, Olivia continued, ‘I have something important to tell you.’Logan glanced at her, uninterested.Olivia smiled. ‘By the way, I saw Miss Jansen earlier.’Logan froze, his gaze turning sharp and threatening.Olivia couldn’t

    Olivia’s assistant arrived promptly and nodded respectfully to Logan.‘Tell us where they are.’‘They’re in room 109,’ the assistant replied, indicating the direction. ‘Take a left down this hallway, and it’s the innermost suite.’Logan wasted no time, striding towards room 109.Olivia, in her high heels, struggled to keep pace, aided by her assistant.They reached the door of room 109, where they overheard Alessia’s stern voice. ‘Mr Webster, I didn’t expect this behaviour from you. I came here for an interview about your career, not…not this.’A male voice responded, ‘Don’t say that, Miss Jansen. I just think you’re in a tough spot. How can a beautiful lady like you be a reporter? Why waste your life in a small tabloid office? You should find a man who loves you and who can give you a wonderful life. I can offer you that. If you spend the night with me, I’ll buy you an apartment.’‘No need,’ Alessia retorted coldly. ‘If you think you can buy me with an apartment, you can shove it.’A

    Alessia muttered, ‘I didn’t pick this place for the interview. Kevan insisted.’Logan’s irritation flared as he scolded her, ‘Do you have any clue what he had in mind, choosing this place?’Alessia was taken aback by his tone.Her gaze shifted from Logan to Olivia.She wanted to question him about his presence here, especially with Olivia Anderson in tow.But she was no longer Logan’s girlfriend, and she had no right to ask.Logan’s scowl deepened as he made a call. ‘Heath, there’s trouble at the Amber House. Get here, now.’‘So? What’s it to you? If you’re just having fun, stay out of it.’‘He assaulted Alessia,’ Logan replied grimly.‘I’m on my way,’ Heath responded without hesitation, promising to bring reinforcements.Logan hung up, his expression stony.The duty manager was sweating profusely. ‘Mr Wilde, is that really necessary? How about we handle this privately? No need to involve the police.’Logan didn’t spare the manager a glance.The manager turned to Alessia. ‘Miss, could

    In Alessia’s view, she and Logan were like chalk and cheese, and they both knew it.Their worlds seemed as different as night and day, impossible to blend.The difference in their social statuses didn’t bother her, but she couldn’t stand feeling inferior in any other way.Logan leaned in, a challenging glint in his eye. ‘You said we are not compatible in every way, but it sure didn’t feel like it when we were in bed together.’Alessia’s face turned crimson, and she stammered, ‘T-that’s not…’How could he say that?Logan raised an eyebrow, regarding her with interest. ‘You can’t come up with an excuse now, can you?’Alessia was left utterly speechless.Logan studied her flushed face, finding her even more enticing.‘Well, why don’t you give us another shot?’ he asked with a friendlier tone.Alessia pondered for a moment. ‘I’ll think about it, but I can’t give you an answer right now.’Impatient by nature, Logan couldn’t wait to clarify things and have his way with her.However, Alessia

    Alessia, however, lacked the courage to undertake such an examination.Her blush deepened, and she kept her head bowed, fixing her eyes on his chin instead.Logan, noting her reaction, couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.He felt that his performance should be convincing enough.He genuinely had no qualms about baring himself for her scrutiny.It was, in his view, the most straightforward and honest method of proving his innocence.Logan held Alessia’s hand and put it on his bare chest. ‘See? No lipstick mark, no hickeys.’Alessia pulled her hand away as if scalded. ‘You are being ridiculous.’‘And you are being prejudiced,’ Logan retorted. ‘You made an unfair accusation. I’m offering you proof. Yet you refuse to change your verdict.’Alessia rolled her eyes. ‘I didn’t make up that lipstick stain on your shirt.’‘But there’s no stain on the rest of me.’Alessia fell silent.‘You can’t accuse me of something I didn’t do,’ Logan stated firmly as he placed his hand on her shoulder and hel

    Logan turned to Alessia, a mischievous glint in his eye. ‘Fancy sticking around for dinner?’Alessia flashed him a warm smile. ‘Sorry, I’ve got work on my plate.’Logan leaned in closer, a playful smirk dancing on his lips. ‘What about tomorrow? Any time for me?’Alessia shook her head, her eyes sparkling. ‘Tomorrow’s a family thing. I’m spending time with my sister.’‘So when can I steal you away?’Alessia’s laughter bubbled up. ‘I promise, I’ll let you in on my free time soon.’Logan, not one to give up easily, persisted, ‘Come on, Alessia. I want an answer right now. Who holds the top spot, your sister or yours truly?’Alessia raised an eyebrow, feigning seriousness. ‘Mr Wilde, my sister’s the reigning champ.’Logan’s jaw clenched, his irritation evident. ‘Excuse me?’Alessia couldn’t help but tease him, ‘Oh, Logan, don’t be so jealous. Sisters are forever, you know. Couples come and go.’Logan’s frustration simmered, but he couldn’t hide a hint of amusement. ‘Are you trying to ril

    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

    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
