Amelia let out a soft chuckle, a practiced, sweet sound, before leaning into his embrace. She pressed her face into his chest, feeling the steady rise and fall of his breath beneath her cheek.She knew she had him now; completely wrapped around her finger. Logan responded to her affection, pulling her closer and caressing her back in gentle strokes, the warmth of his touch enveloping her.For a brief moment, his thoughts drifted away from Julia—his Ex-Wife lying in the hospital, the one who had once occupied all his attention.But Amelia had successfully pulled his focus away, if only for a few precious seconds, or perhaps even minutes.“I promise I’ll always be here whenever you need me, okay?” she whispered sweetly, looking up at him with wide, innocent eyes.Then, before he could respond, she leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips.As she pulled away, a sly sneer curled across her lips, hidden from his view as she buried her face back into his chest. She had won, once again."
If there was one thing Amelia wasn’t expecting the moment she quietly shut the heavy door to Logan’s grand mansion, it was the sudden sound of his deep, commanding voice slicing through the stillness of the night.“It’s almost midnight, Amelia… where are you coming from?” His cold, authoritative tone echoed in the darkness, sending an icy shiver down her spine.The tension in his voice was unmistakable, laced with suspicion and a hint of anger.Amelia’s heart skipped a beat as she froze, her hand still gripping the door handle. She snapped her head back instinctively, her wide eyes scanning the dimly lit room in search of Logan.She had assumed he was fast asleep, like usual, in the master bedroom upstairs. Instead, to her shock, she found him standing in the living room, hidden in the shadows just beyond the headlamp.The room, which had been cloaked in darkness moments ago, was now illuminated by the single beam of light from the headlamp, which Logan had flicked on just as he utter
“She dared to send me away? What in the world does she think she is? A boss? A god?” Logan raged as he drove back to his house, his grip tightening on the steering wheel as if he could rip it from its joint.Hearing Julia send him away felt like a disgrace, a shameful act in front of Caspian. He had been trying to prove to Caspian that he was worthy of the contract by maintaining his pride, but she had ruined it.“You don’t want to see me anymore?” he scoffed, talking aloud as though he had an imaginary friend sitting beside him.“If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have met Caspian! I should have personally sent you out of the States! Bitch!” he grumbled over and over again until he finally arrived at the entrance of the mansion.He swiftly climbed out of the car and slammed the door shut with a loud thud that echoed through the silence of the evening.If there was anything Logan had expected at the hospital, it was for Julia to welcome him in and try to please him to pay her bills. Bu
"I don't want to sound rude or anything, Mr. Caspian, but I think it's best if you leave," Julia urged, her tone cold and icy as she made the statement to Caspian, who was shocked beyond belief.He couldn't believe what she had said to him. He understood the fact that he had messed up, that he had made her feel and think she didn't need him anymore, but the fact that she wished to be away and far from him was something he just couldn't understand."What?" His shaky voice came out, his brows arching as he stared at her, perplexed. "I… I don't get it…""You don't get it, or you just don't want to, Mr. Caspian?" Julia asked, her tone becoming harsher and more audible."Julia, you…" he began to say, but without thinking twice, Julia cut in sharply."I need you to leave my room this minute, Mr. Caspian… I don't feel like having any visitors right now," she declared bluntly, without thinking about the consequences.At this point, Julia didn't care what the consequences of sending Caspian aw
The second the door creaked open, Logan walked into the room, Caspian's glare fixed on him from where he stood, his hand still gripping Julia's tightly.If there was anything he didn’t expect to see, it was Logan Steele, Julia's ex-husband.Caspian didn’t like him and expected him to stay far away from Julia, especially now that he had divorced her and spread rumors about her that weren’t fun or nice to hear.“What are you doing here?” Caspian questioned, a frown etched on his face.“Mr. Caspian… you…” Logan started to speak, attempting to act polite upon seeing Caspian. He never expected to find him in the hospital with Julia.As Julia's former husband, Logan had been called to inform him about the bills. That was how he found out about Julia being in the hospital and came to see for himself what had really happened, only to find Caspian by her side.Caspian couldn’t stand by and watch Logan act as if he cared or was being respectful. Without hesitation, he sharply cut into Logan's w
"You never listen, do you?" Caspian's voice was low and dangerous as he crouched down to her level. His piercing eyes locked onto hers, filled with cold fury, as he grabbed her neck with a tight, unyielding grip.His fingers pressed against her skin, and his jaw clenched in anger. If it were up to him, he wouldn't hesitate—he’d end her life right here and now, without a second thought.Mira’s breath came in ragged gasps, her eyes wide with fear, but she couldn’t tear her gaze from his. Caspian’s face was inches away, his fury radiating off him in waves. The tension in the room was thick, suffocating.Suddenly, the door creaked open, breaking the heavy silence. Dominic stepped in, his eyes widening in shock at the scene before him.He stood frozen in the doorway, clearly startled and confused to find Caspian towering over Mira, who was helpless on the ground.He didn’t know what to do, his gaze flicking between the two, unsure if he should step in or stay out of it.Caspian’s eyes flic
“Wake up, Daddy! Wake up!” Liam shouted as he kept tugging at the sheets that covered Caspian while he slept.Caspian was shocked to see Liam so vibrant when he fluttered his eyes open. He had expected to find Liam still moody, but instead, he was happy—more surprising, already dressed in his blue suit.Caspian couldn’t help but wonder if there was something he had missed while he slept all night.“Good morning, Daddy! Finally, you’re awake! Come on, let’s go! Let’s go to the company!” Liam urged, rushing to Caspian and grabbing his finger, trying to drag him out of bed.“Fine… I’m up!” Caspian said, still eyeing Liam curiously. “Are you okay?” he asked, just to be sure he wasn’t imagining things.“Yes… now go take your bath. We’ll be late if you waste another second!” Liam urged, and seeing how enthusiastic he was, Caspian wasted no more time and headed for the bathroom.As he quickly bathed, his thoughts dwelled on the fact that Liam had acted like nothing had happened last night. K
Caspian drove straight to the Michaelson estate, trying hard to clear his mind.The thought of Julia lying in that hospital, all alone and without anyone by her side to hold her hand, filled him with a deep anger. He felt a storm of emotions brewing inside him.If only the doctor had let him go in and see Julia, he would have felt much better. Just being there for her would have brought him some comfort.But instead, he was kept out, unable to reach her or offer his support. It felt so unfair, and the frustration only grew stronger as he thought about it.With his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly, Caspian drove as fast as he could, his heart racing with each passing moment.It felt like he was driving for ages, his mind swirling with worry. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he pulled up to the grand Michaelson estate.Although his heart was heavy with concern, he tried hard to push his sadness away. He knew Liam was going to ask about his mom, and Caspian wanted
"Hang in there, Julia… please… please!" he pleaded desperately as he raced toward the hospital. His heart pounded wildly, and the fear on his face was evident.He kept glancing anxiously in the rearview mirror, unable to tear his eyes away from Julia, who remained motionless in the back seat.She lay still, her body pale and weak, her eyes shut tightly as if trying to escape the pain. She didn’t make a sound, and the sight of her unmoving form only deepened Caspian’s terror.“Damn it! I should have arrived sooner! Damn it!” he cursed under his breath, his frustration and guilt mounting.His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, knuckling white with the strain, as he pushed the car to go faster, weaving through traffic with little regard for the rules.Finally, he pulled up to the hospital, his car barely stopped before he threw it into park. He didn’t even wait to turn off the engine.Without a moment’s hesitation, he burst out of the car, his face a mask of urgent determination.
