Logan’s POV I nodded, even though Scarlett couldn’t see. “I brought some food and toys for the two of them. Maybe that will help ease things a little.”Scarlett’s voice took a deep breath on the other end of the line. “That’s great, Logan. But I’m not sure you can give them to Emma right away. She’s in a complicated situation. Maybe you should give her some space.”“I know,” I said in a low voice. I’d been thinking about that since the trip here. “I’m afraid to disturb her. I don’t want to make things more difficult.”“You brought some food and toys, right?” Scarlett sounded more relaxed now. “Why don’t you just take them to her room? Maybe that will help her a little, Logan. Emma needs to see that someone cares and is there for her.”I paused for a moment, feeling conflicted. I wanted to see Emma, to make sure she was okay with my own eyes, but at the same time, I was afraid that my presence would disturb or make her uncomfortab

Emma's POVAs I stared at the tall man standing next to Scarlett, I felt confused and suspicious. I couldn't help but feel curious. Who was this man who Scarlett seemed to care about so much and brought so much food and toys?"Scarlett, who is this man?" I asked in an uncertain tone. I tried to remember if I had seen him before.Scarlett smiled and replied, "Oh, Emma, this is Logan. He is, hmm, maybe you forgot. He was the man who was in the villa at that time."When I heard that, memories of the villa and the man came to my mind. I remembered Logan, but at that time I didn't pay much attention to him. Now, he seemed very different and was here with a clear intention.Scarlett pushed Logan towards me in a rather hasty manner. "Come on, Logan, give the food and toys to Emma. She must really appreciate your help."With a cold attitude, Logan handed me the bag of food and toys. "These are for you and the kids. I hope this can help

Emma's POVI handed the document to him, relieved that this task was finally over. “You’re welcome. Scarlett said she had to rush to the bathroom because she had a stomach ache.”Logan nodded, but then, instead of leaving, he hesitated for a moment. I could sense the change in the atmosphere between us. “By the way… how’s your son? I heard he was hospitalized a few days ago,” he asked, a little awkwardly. I was momentarily stunned. Oh, he’d heard about it. “Yes, his name is Adolf. He’s doing better now, just needs a few more days of treatment,” I answered simply. I wasn’t used to talking about personal things with people, especially Logan, who I honestly wasn’t that close to. Logan smiled faintly, probably relieved to hear the news, but I could see the confusion in his eyes. “Oh, thank goodness. That’s good to hear. The care here is good, huh?” He tried to continue the conversation, but I just nodded and replied, “Yeah, good.” A sudden sil

Emma's POVI bit my lip, feeling even more cornered. "Scarlett, please, you're overreacting. Logan was just trying to help, that's all. Besides, I'm not looking for... anyone. My focus right now is Adolf and how he can get better soon."Scarlett looked at me with a knowing smile. "Emma, I know you want to protect Adolf and yourself, but there's no harm in opening up. Logan might be someone good for you and for Adolf. Just think about that, okay?"I sighed, feeling a little overwhelmed by this conversation. "Scarlett, I... I don't know. But for now, I just want to focus on Adolf. That's all."Scarlett finally nodded, though her mischievous gaze hadn't completely disappeared. "Okay, I won't force you. But if you change your mind, I'll be here, ready to support you."I just smiled faintly, though inside, the conversation had made my mind spin. Could Scarlett be right? I didn't want to think too much about it. What was clear was that

Logan's POV I sat in the car, staring blankly at the dark street outside the window. It was late at night, but even though my body was tired, my eyes remained open. Thoughts about Emma kept running through my head, making me unable to sleep. I don't understand why, every time I meet her as Logan, everything feels so cold and awkward. She almost never looks at me directly, let alone speak more than a few brief words. Her smile was always half-hearted if she even smiled. It felt like there was a huge distance between us, even though we were technically in the same room most of the time. And that's... that's what confuses me.She didn't know that me, Logan, and Joseph were the same person. To her, Joseph was the past—someone she hated, perhaps even more. I was the biological father of her children, but not someone who deserved to be in her life anymore. In her eyes, Joseph was a pimp, someone not worth considering. As Joseph, I

Emma's POV I knelt down beside his bed and held both of his cheeks. “Adolf, listen, honey. Mommy just wants to take care of the payment so we can go home quickly,” I said softly, trying to calm his anxious heart. “Later we can play with Adney, Ainsley, and Allonza at home. You want to go home quickly, right?”He bit his lower lip, looking hesitant for a moment. His eyes blinked a few times before he finally nodded slowly, although he still didn’t let go of my hand. “But you won’t be long, right?” he asked hopefully. I smiled and kissed his forehead which was still a little warm. “Not for long. Aunt Scarlett will take care of you. Mommy promises.”Scarlett, who was standing behind me, looked at Adolf with a reassuring smile. “Hey, Adolf, how about Aunt Scarlett bringing you some delicious chocolate for later on the road? You’ll definitely like it.”Hearing that, Adolf seemed a little calmer even though he still looked at me with a doubtful ga

Emma's POVThat night, after we returned from the hospital, I felt relieved and full of warmth. Seeing Adolf safely back home was enough to calm my heart. Adney, Ainsley, and Allonza immediately ran to Adolf as soon as we arrived home, their faces bright to welcome his return. I could see how much they missed their brother who had been absent from home for the past few days."Adolf! Are you better?" Adney exclaimed, his round eyes sparkling with joy. Allonza, the youngest, also reached out, trying to hug Adolf even though her body was smaller.Adolf nodded with a wide smile, even though his face was still a little pale. "Yes, I can go home. But my head still hurts a little," he said while gently rubbing the bandage on his head.I could only smile, even though my heart was a little worried about his health. I patted Adolf's shoulder gently, giving him support. "Adolf should rest tonight, okay? Tomorrow when he's better, we can play longer."

Emma's POV I sat at the kitchen table, checking my watch which showed 8 am. I felt a little rushed, so I immediately picked up the phone and looked for Reyna's number in my contacts. With fingers shaking slightly with anxiety, I pressed the call button and waited for the ringtone to ring.After a few seconds, Reyna’s voice came through the phone. “Hello, Emma. What’s up?”“Hello, Reyna,” I said, trying to sound calm even though I was feeling a little anxious. “I’m sorry to interrupt you so early in the morning. I just wanted to make sure you were available to babysit today.”“Oh, sure. No problem,” Reyna replied in a knowing tone. “Is there anything in particular I need to know?”“Yes,” I began, “Adolf is recovering from an accident and he still needs to rest at home. He can’t go back to school for a while. So, I’ll be going into the office today, and I need your help looking after Adney, Ainsley, and Allonza as well.”“I understand

Emma’s POVI was frustrated and exhausted, and I felt like I was stuck between wanting to give them a chance and protecting them from any possible harm. “I don’t know what to do with all of this. I just want my kids to be safe and happy. That’s my top priority. I can’t let you be a threat anymore.”Joseph nodded slowly as if he understood how difficult this was for me. “I understand, Emma. I just want you to know that I really want to change and if there’s a way to prove it, I will. I’ll wait for the right opportunity to prove myself.”I looked at Joseph with mixed emotions. The anger and disappointment that had built up over the years began to boil over inside me. He stood in front of me, pleading in an almost convincing tone, but something inside me refused to believe it.“I don’t want to hear it anymore, Joseph,” I said firmly. “You’ve always come and gone as you please, showing up when you least expect it, and now you want to talk about change

Logan's POV But Logan… She didn’t know Logan yet. Logan was someone new in her life. A man who didn’t have the burden of a heavy past between them. A man who, if given the chance, could steal her heart. I felt a new urge inside me. Maybe this was it. Maybe I shouldn’t force Emma to take Joseph back. Instead, I should be Logan. Logan who could be closer to her, who could show her that I was a different man without the burden of the past. As Logan, I could start over, without the shadow of Joseph’s failure haunting my every move. I closed my eyes for a moment, imagining the plan coming to fruition. What if I started slowly approaching Emma as Logan? I could show her my attention in a way that she never would have received from Joseph. I could be there for her, giving her support without making her feel burdened by the past. And eventually, maybe I could win her over. It felt strange, but it made sense at the same time. Emma didn’t need to know that
