Logan's POV Meanwhile..."Are you sure they're back?!" I asked worriedly as we walked into the house."Calm down" Auntie Katie replied as she searched for the switch in the dark room and turned it on."Didn't you just see their car outside, then definitely their back" she replied and just then Ashton walked down the stairs and I exhaled deeply."Dude!" I called immediately."How did it go?! Where's Phoebe" I asked immediately as we moved closer to him."Oh she's upstairs " he replied."We found Jason in a really bad condition so, ...""You found Jason?!" Auntie Katie said cutting him off and he nodded."Where's he?!" She asked."Upstairs, visitors' room let's go," she said and we all went upstairs.Immediately we got upstairs, Ashton pushed open the door of the visitor's room and we all walked in."Bro!" Phoebe called as she left Jason's bedside, she walked towards me and pulled me into a tight hug."I'm so happy to see that you made it back unscathed," she said and I smiled."Same"
Logan's POV Next day...Immediately I drove into the orphanage, a sense of nostalgia hit me and I inhaled deeply and slowly exhaled, it's been almost twenty-one years since I set foot here after Dad adopted me.And now that I'm here, I wonder why I didn't think of coming back here when I began searching for Mia, it should have been my first call.I walked up to the door of the orphanage, feeling a sense of nervousness and anticipation as I prepared to speak to the matron. I had come all this way to find Mia, and I hope that the matron could give me some information on where to find her, but I didn't know what to expect.I knocked on the door, and a woman in her mid-fifties answered, her hair a bit grayer than I remembered from my childhood. "Can I help you?" she asked, her voice stern but not unkind."Uh, yes," I said, feeling suddenly awkward. "I was hoping to speak to the matron.""I am the matron," she said, her eyebrows raised in surprise. "What can I do for you?"I took in a
Meanwhile that afternoon....Author's POV"Wait?!""What do you mean wait?!" David booed at Eliza."I should wait?! And have them ruin all that I worked for?!" "Okay then,""Go ahead and send you men after them and have them killed then!" She replied with a deep exhale as she stood up and walked towards the window.She folded her hands across her chest as she stared out."Didn't you listen to what he said yesterday?!""If anything happens to him or his family members we will be blamed!" She said."Now how about that for a ruin of reputation " she said as she slowly turned back to face him."Look David," she said as she dropped her hands and walked back to him."You've tried to kill them twice and look they're still here, disrupting our operations, don't you think it's time we take another route?!" She said and took her seat in front of him."I promised Laura I was going to fix this, it has a bad outlook on her foundation!" He murmured."Yes! And fix it we will" Eliza replied."So wha
Ariana's POV"Logan" I whispered as I fiddled with the bracelet I was holding, I looked down at him also and he was holding the same bracelet."Mia" he whispered also moving closer and within the twinkle of an eye I rushed forward, grabbed him and pulled him into a tight hug, forgetting the circumstances of all that was actually going on between him and my father right now."Logan!" I said repeatedly as I began crying and he just patted my back slowly, I could feel his tears down on my back also.Logan held onto me tightly, comforting me as I cried uncontrollably. For years, I had longed to see him again, to feel his embrace and hear his voice. And now, in the midst of all the chaos and turmoil, he was here.Logan and I held onto each other tightly, trying to make up for all the time we had lost. It felt like a lifetime since we last saw each other, and the sudden reunion was overwhelming. I didn't know what to say, but my tears and the way my heart raced conveyed everything.After a
Logan's POVLater ...As I took slow strides into the house , I couldn't help but think how shockingly today turned out.Who would have thought, Mia and Ariana was the same person.Now all she said to me that day under the rain began to make so much sense, it warned my heart to know that she still thought highly of me.Earlier today I couldn't even bring myself to tell her that her highly esteemed adopted father murdered her biological parents.I just didn't know how to, I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but I knew that one day she would have to know.I know we decided not to talk about our present circumstances but sooner or later we are still gonna have to trash it out.And I seriously don't know how exactly that is gonna turn out.We agreed to meet up in secret constantly but for how long will that go on for?!I exhaled deeply as I grabbed the door knob and pulled it open.Immediately I stepped in, I paused in my tracks as I looked up and stared at Auntie Katie, Ashton and Phoeb

Ariana's POVSome minutes Later...I froze in the doorway of Dad's office, stunned by the scene before me. My dad, who was usually so reserved and professional, was locked in a passionate embrace with his assistant, Eliza. They were so engrossed in each other that they didn't even notice me and mom, standing there.Mom's face twisted in anger and disgust. "What the hell is going on here?" she demanded, her voice shaking with rage.Ariana's dad jumped away from Eliza, looking guilty and ashamed. "Laura, I can explain," he stammered."Explain what, exactly?" Laura spat. "That you're cheating on me with your assistant? That you've been lying to me this whole time?""It's not like that," Ariana's dad insisted. "Eliza and I, we have a connection. We care about each other.""That's not an excuse," Laura retorted.

She retorted."This is what we've always wanted isn't it?! Don't you want to be with me again?!" She asked as she slowly moved closer and placed her hands in his chest."It's what you've always wanted not me!" He growled as he removed her hands from his chest."Even if I was going to end my marriage to Laura, there are ways to do it not this!" He growled."Whatever!" She replied going back to se
