Logan's POV"Auntie, you guys have to see this!" We heard Phoebe say as she rushed down the stairs to us with her phone and we turned to look at her.Immediately she got to us, I took the phone from her hands and my eyes nearly popped out of its socket.It was an Article on a dead body that had been found in the forest and my name was listed as a suspect!."How is this possible?!" Auntie Katie asked as she looked up at me."I have no idea!" I replied immediately in more shock than any of them could be in.Suddenly a knock came on the door and we all turned towards the entrance. The knock on the door became more persistent, and Auntie Katie hurriedly went to answer it. I could feel my heart beating faster as I tried to process what was happening.When Auntie Katie opened the door, two police officers stood before us, their stern expressions making my anxiety levels rise even higher."Logan Rivera?" one of the officers said, looking straight at me.I nodded, unable to find my voice."
Meanwhile Ariana's POV"Hey, I'm back!" Logan said with a small smile and I just sat there staring at him quietly."Yeah!" I whispered still not taking my eyes off him as he tried to switch on the ignition.Tears slowly dropped from my eyes and he let go of his keys immediately."Babe!""What's wrong?!" "Why are you crying and staring at me like that" he whispered and I slowly looked down at my laps."Babes ?!" I whispered with a small scoff."Don't call me that!" I whispered as I raised my head to look up at him."What?!""What is wrong?!" He asked as he turned to look at me."What's going on, I don't understand!" He replied."You lied to me!" I whispered as I threw my dad's journal I found in his car to him.His eyes went wide immediately, as he looked down at the book and looked up at me immediately."Mi- Ari- Mia- Ari-a ..""So you don't know my name anymore right?!" I whispered as the tears flowed uncontrollably."This is not what it seems like, Mia!" He said.My heart was pound
Logan's POVEvening...."So your Mom is moving in with David?!" I said looking at Brett who was seating beside Ashton directly opposite, I, auntie Katie and Ariana.He hesitated for a while as he turned to look at Ariana before speaking up."She wants to, but he has not agreed yet, I really don't have the details I've been banned from going to the Bennett corp, she only told me on the phone!""She said something about doing it for the election!""So your Mom wants to take my mom's place?!" Ariana asked her eyes glinting with anger."It hasn't even been one week and now she wants to move in, how selfish can you all get?!" Brett and Ashton exchanged uncomfortable glances, while auntie Katie put a comforting hand on Ariana's shoulder."Mia!" I whispered as I placed my hands on her laps."No, you guys do you actually care about how my Mom feels?!" She asked again.Ariana just shook her head, her eyes still fixed on Brett. "Why did you even agree to this?!" she demanded. "You know how m

"What do you mean so?!" He asked looking up at her."You should just get a divorce!" She replied."Eliza you .. ""David leave whatever La-la land you're in!" She retorted."Do you know how bad, your relationship with Laura can get!""If this gets out, it's going to be an hug scandal!""And it can affect your election, so you need a woman by your side as your wife!"

Ariana's POV"Where are we going?!" I asked mom as she stepped on the accelerator and increased her speed."I have no idea" she whispered tears streaming down her face."Mom" I whispered moving closer to her ."Ariana!" She called softly"I'm driving that's alright, I think I just want this place to be quiet" she whispered quietly her eyes on the road and I nodded in reply as I rested back on my seat.As we drove further away from our home, the silence in the car became more deafening. I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of betrayal and hurt. Dad has hurt us, me especially in many ways unimaginable!. The man I thought I knew, trusted, and loved had shattered my perception of him into a million pieces.My mind raced with questions, but I couldn't bring myself to voice them out loud. Instead, I sat there in silence, watching the world pass us by, lost in my own thoughts.Mom's hands were tightly gripped on the steering wheel, and I could see the tears that she was trying to hold back.
