While their eyes lingered on each other, Logan softened, a hint of reluctance in his voice. ‘Let’s forget about it for now. It seems we’ll have to save it for next time—for our own good.’

Alessia nodded, her smile bright. ‘I’m getting off now. Get back to work.’

As they both exited the car, Logan couldn’t resist pulling her closer into his arms.

She inhaled deeply and whispered, ‘I really need to go now. I need a shower.’

Logan leaned in, his eyes locked on hers. ‘I don’t mind.’

After a long moment, he finally let her go.

Alessia began to walk away.

But just before she left, she paused and turned back. ‘Logan, I know we’ve talked about it before, but I want to confirm again. Have you ever been with anyone else besides your ex-girlfriend?’

Logan’s eyes met hers, his tone sincere. ‘That’s not exactly true.’

Alessia’s heart raced, her voice tinged with apprehension. ‘Who?’

Logan’s answer surprised her. ‘You.’

She probed further, her tone wavering. ‘Anyone else besides me?’

    ‘Taking advantage?’ Alessia muttered, feeling the weight of his repeated accusations.He had labelled her this way more than once, and Alessia felt a deep sense of desolation.‘Yes, I’m obviously out of your league,’ Logan said, betraying his sense of feeling used, ‘You risked your life to save me so that I’d accept you and your kid. I’d been wondering why you would put yourself in such danger. Now I know.’‘And now you’ve successfully made me feel I owe you all my life. You’re unbelievable, Alessia,’ he added coldly. ‘You wanted me to be a stepfather to your kid. You said you weren’t dating me because of my money. That was only half true. You didn’t need my money for yourself. You needed it for your kid, didn’t you?’Alessia felt his words stab at her heart. ‘I’m not as vile as you’ve said.’Logan, fuelled by anger and a sense of betrayal, continued his harsh words, ‘Yes, you are. You’re just unscrupulous. You thought that just because you’ve saved my life, I would owe you for the re

    Terence had no idea who was calling, as the phone remained in Logan’s pocket.The call rang for a while before finally stopping.‘Drive,’ Logan ordered, breaking the silence. ‘Back to my house.’‘Yes, boss,’ Terence responded, starting the car and pulling away.Just as they turned a corner, he spotted Veronica on the street with bags in her hands.He remembered Logan’s words and chose to remain silent.Veronica, who had returned from a grocery run, didn’t notice Logan’s car as she entered the building.Inside the apartment, she found Alessia kneeling by the door, her head buried in her arms.Startled, she closed the door and asked with concern, ‘Alessia, what’s wrong? Why are you kneeling there? Have you been back for long?’Alessia slowly raised her head to look at Veronica, her eyes gradually focusing.Without uttering a word, she blinked and tears streamed down her face.Veronica, her heart aching for her sister, couldn’t bear to see her cry.She got down on the floor and looked at

    Alessia quickly explained, ‘So the plan is, I’ll open the door and dodge, then you’ll splash the water out. We have to pull this off together, okay?’Veronica, sporting a mischievous grin, agreed, ‘Okay. I like your righteous look now, Alessia.’Alessia gave her a pointed reminder, ‘Focus.’Veronica reassured her, ‘Don’t worry. I’ve got this.’With the basin of water filled with red beans in hand, Veronica walked towards the door and placed it on the shoe cabinet, poised for their prank.Connie’s impatience was evident in the continued knocking.Alessia, playing it cool, winked at Veronica and opened the door.Connie, standing at the door with a smug expression, gloated, ‘I knew you were home. How was it? Logan came to you just now, didn’t he? Does he know about the child?’Alessia, unflustered, responded calmly, ‘You told him.’Connie, with a mocking grin, admitted, ‘Yes, I did. I’ll get back what I lost from you.’Alessia’s reply was cold and matter-of-fact, ‘You’re out of your mind

    Brayden looked at Alessia with hope in his eyes.‘Veronica is right,’ Alessia said. ‘Regardless of what happened between you and Connie, it has nothing to do with me anymore. You don’t have to tell me.’‘Okay then,’ Brayden said, his hope extinguished.He looked miserable. ‘I’ve felt like the walking dead all these years.’‘Is that so?’ Veronica chimed in. ‘Then you might as well die.’Stunned by Veronica’s harsh words, Brayden retorted, ‘Do you want me to die so badly? What about you, Alessia?’Alessia found it ludicrous and chuckled.‘Yes,’ she replied without hesitation. ‘Since you’re already the walking dead, it’s better for you to die, isn’t it? I think Veronica is right.’Brayden staggered, almost losing his balance, but he refused to leave.Standing at the door, he stared at Alessia, unable to fathom her cruelty.‘She used to be so kind and lovely,’ he thought, finding her transformation unbelievable.As Veronica resumed sweeping the floor, she glanced at Brayden and said, ‘Loo

    Brayden held his ground and implored, ‘You can’t keep blocking my way to Alessia. Please, don’t shut me out this time. I just want to talk to her.’Veronica retorted sharply, ‘Don’t play games with me. I’d have knocked you out if I wasn’t worried about dirtying my hands.’Brayden’s tone softened as he tried to reason, ‘Veronica, let’s not make this a brawl. You can’t match my strength.’Veronica’s eyes grew colder as she asserted, ‘Are you really ready for a showdown? I’ll take you on till the end.’Brayden, unwavering, started moving forward, stating, ‘Step aside.’Veronica immediately stepped in his path, adamant, ‘You’re not getting in there. Do you get that?’Brayden, wearing a frown, attempted to manoeuvre around her and continue into the building, but Veronica stood her ground.In a fit of anger, Veronica leapt and aimed a kick at Brayden from behind.Yet, he swiftly evaded it, displaying restraint and choosing not to retaliate.As this high-drama scene played out, Heath’s car p

    Heath hurried towards Alessia, Veronica, and Milo, staring at them in disbelief.He looked at Alessia, then at Veronica and Milo, unable to believe what he was seeing.‘Hmm?’ Milo, in his innocent confusion, asked, ‘Aren’t you the police officer from the supermarket?’Heath stared at Alessia. ‘I…I think I know what’s going on here.’Alessia took a deep breath and faced him. ‘This is my son, Heath.’Heath’s eyes widened with disbelief. ‘Your son?’Though he had an inkling, the revelation still hit him like a ton of bricks. ‘How could it be? This is Logan’s—’Veronica, ever protective of Alessia, immediately cut him off, her tone sharp. ‘Mr Carpenter! I’ve told you not to mention that man again.’Heath was taken aback by Veronica’s stern interruption, glancing in her direction.Alessia pursed her lips and decided, ‘Veronica, take Milo inside. I have something to discuss with Mr Carpenter.’Veronica bristled, aware that the current location was hardly suitable for a heart-to-heart conver

    Veronica responded quickly, growling, ‘No, he’s not.’It was clear she wasn’t telling the whole truth.Heath frowned, his piercing gaze on Veronica. ‘Then why are you so agitated?’Veronica was caught off guard, unable to come up with a convincing argument.Heath, perceptive as ever, pointed out, ‘Veronica, this is between Alessia and Logan. Milo is their child. I understand you care about Alessia and Milo, but is it appropriate for you to make this decision?’Heath’s words were logical and fair, making Veronica pause to reconsider her stance.Veronica, however, was resolute, and her frustration spilt out. ‘I don’t care. I thought Logan was a very upright man, but it turned out I was so wrong. He is a jerk for hurting my sister six years ago and leaving her with Milo. Do you have any idea how Alessia had been holding up for all these years?’Heath nodded, acknowledging the difficulties Alessia had faced as a single mother.But Veronica’s anger ran deep. ‘You couldn’t possibly understa

    Heath couldn’t help but tease his friend. ‘You can’t even sit up straight now?’Logan lifted his gaze, but he remained immobile, as if the world had crushed him.He muttered, ‘Eh.’Heath walked over and took a seat across from Logan. ‘What happened?’Logan didn’t respond immediately.Instead, he rubbed his brows wearily with slender fingers and croaked, ‘I don’t want to talk.’Heath was undeterred. ‘I know something happened between you and Alessia.’Logan’s response was instant and intense. ‘Don’t bring up that name!’Heath couldn’t resist a wry smile. ‘Are you so naive to think that not mentioning her will make you forget?’Logan snapped back, ‘I’ve told you not to mention it.’‘If I were you, I’d go to Alessia right now and sort things out face to face. I hate seeing you suffer like this.’Heath knew that if Logan went to Alessia’s house, he’d meet Milo, and the truth would come to light.Veronica made him promise not to tell Logan, but there was no law forbidding Logan from discov

    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
