Logan came over to the bed. ‘Arlie, I-I…’

Alessia threw her arms around the boy. ‘Arlie, I’m not Miss Jansen. I’m your mother. I’m your mother!’

Arlie’s mouth hung open.

He looked at Logan questioningly.

Logan nodded.

Arlie was still in shock, unsure of how to react.

He wondered if he had misheard Alessia, or if he was having a lucid dream.

How could this be possible?

‘Arlie.’ Alessia hugged him tightly as if afraid he’d vanish. ‘My son, I’m sorry I let you down. I made a mistake five years ago and lost you. You and Milo are twins.’

‘What?’

‘It’s true, Arlie,’ Logan said.

He took over the job of explaining since Alessia was too emotional to do so. ‘Alessia gave birth to you and Milo five years ago, but bad people took you away. They sold you off to a trafficking ring. Uncle Heath was part of the task force that busted the ring and rescued you. He brought you to my house, and you know the rest of the story. I only found out you are my son earlier today, when I received the DNA report.’

    Logan, standing by the door, shrugged.What could he say?Milo was his son, it was only natural that he took after his old man in both looks and temperament.Arlie beamed at his brother. ‘Dad said that we’re not going to school tomorrow. We’re going to celebrate.’‘Celebrate?’ Milo snorted. ‘Why don’t we celebrate after we deal with the bad guys? Those two monsters took my brother away so easily and even lied to Mommy, making her believe Arlie was dead all these years.’Milo turned to look at Logan pointedly. ‘Aren’t you going to do something about it?’Logan knew he was referring to Connie and Brayden.He immediately replied, ‘Of course, I won’t let them go like this. I’ll make sure that they get what they deserve.’It might not be easy to convict Brayden, but Alessia had a recording of her phone conversation with Connie, who could be charged with human trafficking.Logan made a note to call Heath later.‘Why don’t you call him now?’ Milo demanded. ‘What if they run off before the po

    The chair toppled over.Connie fell backwards, hitting the floor with a thud.The police officers guarding the door came in and checked on her. ‘She passed out.’Alessia left the room with Logan.She held up her phone. ‘Do you think the recording can be used as evidence?’‘That’s up to the court to decide. I’ll give a copy of it to Heath.’Logan thanked Heath, then drove off with Alessia.She was quiet.‘How are you feeling?’ Logan glanced at her.‘I don’t know.’ Alessia scrubbed her face with both hands. ‘It’s a lot to take in.’‘Do you believe her?’‘About my parents? I don’t know. But I guess it makes sense—why she hates me and Veronica so much. But she shouldn’t have hurt my baby.’She turned to Logan. ‘Do you think the court will convict her? I mean, given the state she’s in.’‘If she’s sane, she’ll be put behind bars. If she’s not, she’ll be locked up in a psych ward. Either way, she’s going to be put away for a long time. And Brayden will be there to keep her company.’Alessia

    Alessia bit her lip. ‘Marriage? Logan, we’ve been through a lot, and I appreciate the sentiment, but marriage is a big step. And it just feels too soon.’‘I know, Alessia. But think about it, for Arlie and Milo. They deserve a stable family, with parents who are committed to each other.’Alessia was hesitant. ‘I understand, but I’m still dealing with the aftermath of the whole thing, and there’s also my grandma’s ashes that I need to take care of.’Logan said softly, ‘I get it. I don’t want to rush you. How about we compromise? We can register for marriage first, just make it official, and then we can plan the big wedding ceremony for later when things settle down.’Alessia pondered this. ‘Register first? That could work.’It would give her time to handle everything else.And to be honest, though she still felt uncertain about tying the knot with Logan, there wasn’t really anyone else she wanted to marry.Logan held her hand. ‘Exactly. We’ll take it one step at a time. The important t

    The park offered a sanctuary, a silent witness to Alessia’s pain.A distant rumble of thunder echoed, a subtle reflection of the storm within her.Alessia felt the weight of the betrayal, the shattered dreams, and the uncertainty of the future.The man she thought she knew had been a stranger all along.As she wiped away tears, Alessia’s phone buzzed with a message.She hesitated before checking it, expecting the worst.It was a message from Logan. ‘Alessia, where are you? Answer your phone.’That was when she noticed the dozen missed calls from him.Alessia switched off her phone and stuffed it back into her purse.With a heavy heart, she stood and made her way through the park, leaving the sanctuary of solitude behind.***Logan, bewildered and desperate for clarity, rushed back to the city hall.The once familiar corridors felt alien as he approached the clerk who had dropped the bombshell, demanding answers to a puzzle that seemed impossible to solve.‘What the hell is going on?’

    Minutes after Logan left, a yellow taxi slid to a stop in front of Ralph and Naomi’s house.The engine hummed as the door swung open, revealing a pair of long, toned legs gracefully stepping onto the pavement.The woman emerging from the taxi was a vision of confidence and mystery.Ralph and Naomi, who had been sitting out on the terrace, couldn’t believe their eyes.Their daughter, presumed lost to the world five years ago, was standing before them, alive and well.Sirena waved at them. ‘Hi, Mom and Dad, I’m back!’The coffee mugs clinked against each other, forgotten, as they rushed to embrace Sirena.‘Sweetheart, is it really you?’ Naomi exclaimed, tears streaming down her face.Ralph was equally overwhelmed, wrapping Sirena in a tight bear hug.Sirena grinned, a glint of mischief in her eyes. ‘Surprise, Mom, Dad. Missed me?’‘Missed you? We thought we’d lost you forever!’ Ralph said, his voice cracking with emotion.‘I’ve been through some stuff,’ Sirena replied mysteriously, pull

    ‘Alessia, we need to talk,’ Logan began, the urgency evident in his tone.Alessia sighed on the other end, her silence urging him to continue.‘Look, today has been insane. I need to tell you everything, from the moment Sirena and I drunkenly got married online to the legal mess I’m trying to untangle. It’s complicated, but you deserve to know,’ Logan confessed, his words pouring out in a rush.As he laid out the convoluted details, from the unexpected marriage to the struggles of annulment, Alessia’s silence lingered.The weight of the revelations settled heavily on both of them.Finally, Alessia spoke, her voice a mix of shock and contemplation. ‘Logan, I need time to process this. I can’t believe what I’m hearing.’Logan’s heart sank, but he understood the gravity of the situation. ‘I know, Alessia. I messed up, and I’m trying to fix it. I just... I need you to understand.’A heavy pause filled the air before Alessia responded, her words measured. ‘Logan, before we talk about us, y

    Logan committed the name to memory. ‘Nomsa could be a crucial lead. Do you have any contact information for her?’Elaine nodded. ‘I do. Let me find it for you.’She searched through her papers. ‘Here it is. Nomsa’s contact information. I hope she can provide some insight.’She hesitated, then added, ‘I was busy with my own work back then. You really should be talking to Sirena’s parents. They were involved in the investigation every step along the way, even flew to Sierra Landa.’‘They probably don’t want to see me right now.’Logan explained that he just visited them earlier, trying to get a copy of Sirena’s death certificate to prove she was really deceased, so his marriage to her could be voided, then he could marry Alessia.Elaine’s eyes widened. ‘Of course Naomi and Ralph would be mad. You were forcing them to confront the reality of Sirena’s death.’‘But they should have closure, and this investigation would bring it to them,’ Logan said defensively. ‘It’s not just for me; it’s

    Alessia turned around as Yvonne Sawyer, a familiar face from a previous interview, approached with a warm smile.Alessia forced a smile. ‘Just trying to distract myself, you know? Work has become my escape lately.’Yvonne noticed Alessia’s low spirit. ‘Something on your mind, dear?’Alessia sighed. ‘Just personal stuff.’She wasn’t about to share her family drama with a woman she’d just met twice, no matter how nice Professor Sawyer was.Yvonne looked sympathetic. ‘Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. How are you holding up?’Alessia shrugged. ‘I’m trying to stay busy.’Sensing her reluctance to talk about her personal life, Yvonne changed the subject. ‘You know, I have connections in the art community, and there’s a big exhibition happening in Hamborough soon.’Alessia was intrigued. ‘An exhibition?’‘Yes, and I thought it might do you good to immerse yourself in the world of art for a while. There are fascinating artists there, stories waiting to be told. Would you be interested in interv

    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
