‘Do you need some ointment for that?’ Logan asked. ‘We could stop by a pharmacy.’

‘No, thanks,’ Alessia said. ‘It looks worse than it is.’

The portly Jeramy Chavez was all fat and no muscle.

‘Thank you for stepping in and saving me, Mr Wilde,’ Alessia said, her gratitude tinged with a touch of reservation.

‘That’s why you are treating me to dinner.’

‘Fine. But you know I can’t possibly afford to take you to a Michelin-starred restaurant, the kind of fine-dining establishment you are usually used to.’ Alessia’s eyes gleamed with mischief. ‘If you are up for it, there’s this place I know, a hole in the wall tucked away at the end of an alley not far from here. It doesn’t have a signboard. The walls have peeling paint. But the food’s more than decent. The question is, do you have the guts to eat there, Mr Wilde?’

‘Why wouldn’t I?’

‘Your suit probably costs more than the rent of that place,’ Alessia said. ‘And I know for a fact that your car definitely costs more than everything they have

    Logan had dined at countless places, which invariably came with perfectly trained waitstaff ready to indulge his every whim.But there was something intriguing about this simple place where one could order without a menu and talk directly to the owner.It also said something about the woman who frequented this place.Alessia, usually guarded in his presence, was much more talkative and friendly here.Logan wondered if she herself was aware of this change.Alessia returned, bearing a tray, a pitcher and two glasses. ‘I hope you like mango lassi. They don’t serve wine here.’She poured the creamy drink for Logan and realised he was staring at her. ‘What?’‘Does your face still hurt?’Alessia gently touched her cheeks.A wince of pain escaped her lips as she replied, ‘Yeah, it’s still throbbing a little.’Then she chuckled.Logan furrowed his brow, puzzled by her reaction. ‘Why are you laughing if it hurts?’Alessia’s eyes sparkled mischievously as she explained, ‘Well, if my face still

    Logan had wanted to send a private investigator to verify Alessia’s claim of being married, but held back in case the PI came back with unfavourable news.But now, the knowledge of her marital status, whether true or false, became insignificant in the face of his desire.Ethics and morality were cast aside as he surrendered to his primal instincts, consumed by an insatiable need to make her his.His lips explored hers with a hunger born of longing, savouring every inch, every taste.He revelled in the softness of her plump bottom lip, gently grazing it with his teeth, a teasing caress that spoke of his eagerness to consume her essence, to breathe in her intoxicating scent.Alessia’s mind spun in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions.She knew this was dangerous territory, a path she shouldn’t tread.Yet, the magnetic pull she felt toward Logan was undeniable, and his kiss ignited a flame deep within her.At the same time, her mind raced with thoughts of the DNA test.The lab technician

    Logan slowly ran his hand over her back. ‘I think you know what I’m talking about.’Alessia’s gaze locked onto his, her proximity granting her a view of his eyelashes and the small flecks of silver near his irises.She couldn’t ignore the flames of desire still burning strong within him.She stared at him.‘Are you serious?’ she asked, incredulous. ‘Are you seriously considering giving millions of dollars worth of ad sponsorship to BuzzBeat if I sleep with you?’Logan, momentarily taken aback by her directness, shrugged nonchalantly.‘Why not?’ he replied, a hint of mischief in his eyes. ‘I have to spend the ad money somewhere, and I might as well have some fun in the process.’Alessia’s mind whirled with a mix of disbelief and intrigue as she considered Logan’s indecent proposal.Part of her refused to believe that a man of his stature would stoop so low as to mix business with s*xual favours.It had to be a joke, a test of her resolve.To gauge his true intentions, she nodded, her v

    Logan swore under his breath.His hand reached to yank off his tie, only to realise he’d already taken it off.He undid another two buttons on his silk shirt.‘You knew I wasn’t going to take you here,’ he shot back. ‘That’s why you kept provoking me.’Alessia shrugged, refusing to offer a comment.Her aloof attitude only served to further irk Logan.‘Alessia, whether or not you’re a virgin is irrelevant. I couldn’t care less about that,’ he declared, his words carrying a raw honesty. ‘And just so you know, I’m no cherry boy myself.’Alessia’s stunned silence filled the air, her mind struggling to process his revelation.She searched his face for any sign of deception, but the unwavering conviction in his gaze left her captivated.In that moment, her perception of the domineering, presumptuous billionaire CEO shattered, replaced by a vulnerable man who had faced his own complexities.A sudden urge overwhelmed Alessia, a desire to shed her own layers of deception and lay bare her truth

    Logan made a noncommittal sound in his throat, still busy with his lamb shanks, pleasantly surprised by its rich flavours.With his fork, he gestured for her to continue.Alessia carried on, ‘Our readership is growing every day, and we have a loyal following of readers who are interested in the latest news and gossip. We also have the ability to target specific segments of the population, which can be very beneficial for companies like Wilde Enterprises. Our readership is primarily made up of young adults and millennials, who are interested in entertainment, fashion, and lifestyle news. We also have a strong following among women—’Logan, after taking a final sip of his mango lassi, abruptly cut her off, ‘I must say, your discernment in picking restaurants far surpasses that of your judgement of a good workplace.’‘What do you mean?’ Alessia frowned.‘I have no interest in doing business with a tabloid,’ Logan said.A flicker of irritation sparked in Alessia’s eyes, her patience teste

    Logan leaned even closer, his voice dropping to a seductive whisper. ‘Oh, I believe it will get me exactly where I want to be.’Before she could respond, Logan reached out to touch her cheek, his fingers trailing gently over her skin.Alessia’s breath caught in her throat, but she quickly composed herself.‘Remove your hand,’ she demanded, trying to keep her voice steady.Logan only smiled, his eyes gleaming with mischief. ‘What if I don’t?’In one swift move, Alessia grabbed his hand and scratched the back of it, hard enough to draw blood.Logan hissed in pain.‘You asked for it,’ she said.Logan finally withdrew his hand. ‘You are a feisty one, aren’t you?’Reaching for a piece of tissue paper, Alessia wiped the blood from his hand, her heart pounding in her chest.Finally, she got his blood, a sample of his DNA—mission accomplished!Logan watched her move curiously.Alessia, keeping a straight face, folded the tissue paper carefully and tucked it into her pocket.***Saturday morni

    Alessia’s apprehension grew.Had her son asked more than he was letting on?She studied the boy’s face intently, but Milo’s cunning expression didn’t waver.He playfully teased her, ‘Don’t worry, Mommy, the doctor’s got it under control. We’ve waited for so long, what’s a few more weeks?’Unease gnawed at Alessia, but she decided to trust Milo’s innocence and brushed off her concerns, thinking, ‘Maybe I’m just overthinking.’They rejoined Veronica, heading off to the amusement park.When Alessia went to the bathroom, Veronica turned her attention to her young nephew. ‘You got your blood drawn, kiddo? Did it hurt?’Milo smirked, his eyes sparkling with a newfound sense of purpose. ‘A little, Aunt Veronica. But hey, if this means I might finally have a dad, I can tough it out.’‘Your dad?’ Veronica’s eyes widened in surprise.Milo nodded, not holding anything back. ‘Yeah, my mom found my long-lost father in this massive sea of people.

I saw you ogling Alessia at the office. It’s insulting!’Jeramy was defensive. ‘What? No, Lara, you’re mistaken! I wasn’t ogling her. You know how I feel about you.’‘I’m not buying it, Jeramy! We’ve been together for years, and you’re still holding back. When are you going to divorce Wilda and commit to me?’‘It’s not that simple, Lara.

    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?

    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.

    ‘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
