Logan

I sprinted after Sylvie, my long strides eating up the distance between us. I had to talk to her, to explain, to apologize. But as I watched her quicken her pace, her heels clicking on the pavement, I realized I was losing ground. She didn't want to hear from me, and I couldn't blame her.

As I finally caught a glimpse of her face, I saw tears streaming down her cheeks. My heart sank. I wondered why she was crying and seeing me had clearly made matters worse. I stopped in my tracks, my feet feeling heavy, as she reached her car and slipped inside. The engine roared to life, and she pulled away from the curb, leaving me standing alone on the sidewalk.

I stood there for a moment, feeling like I'd been punched in the gut. I had missed Sylvie terribly since she'd left me. All those years, I'd treated her badly, convinced I'd never love her. But the truth was, I'd been blinded by my own insecurities. I'd pushed her away, criticized her, and belittled her efforts to please myself. I r

  • Reclaiming Her Love   52!Do I look like a joke?!

    Sylvia I slammed the door to my office shut, okay, not slammed exactly, but definitely pushed it with more force than usual.I leaned against it for a second, breathing out slowly. My chest felt tight, not from fear, but from the anger bubbling just beneath my skin. They were really annoying. I felt like slamming things to the floor. Maryanne and Emily had really done it this time. The fake smiles, the condescending words, the slick little digs, they thought they still had power over me. They have forgotten I'm not slyvia of before. The thought they could still trample over me.I pushed away from the door and marched toward my desk, throwing myself into the chair. My eyes drifted over the room, still warm with the soft afternoon light streaming through the window. But all I could feel was the cold bite of that earlier encounter.I let out a heavy sigh, rubbing my temple.Why was I even surprised? Of course they’d come back early. Of course Maryanne would immediately start sabotaging

  • Reclaiming Her Love   51!We’ve seen her resume, Sylvia. It’s... cute!

    Slyvia Monday morning came with a calm breeze and a quiet sense of progress. The air smelled fresh, like rain had touched the earth overnight, even though the skies were clear. The horizon stretched wide and open, painted in soft hues of blue and gold. The sky looked bluer than it had in days, like it had been washed clean for a fresh start.The streets were alive with the usual Monday rush, the horns honking, people pacing with purpose, buses packed with half-sleepy faces, and vendors already shouting prices from roadside stalls. It was the start of a new week, a new rhythm. Somehow, even in the chaos, everything felt like it was finally falling into place.This is week was going to be one of the best week as the renovation at hospital was almost done, and everything looked beautiful. Peaceful. Like a home that could hold healing.Logan and I were… better. Not perfect. But we were speaking. Laughing again. Not like old times. This time, only gentler, more careful.And most important

  • Reclaiming Her Love   50!Do you ever think about the past!

    Logan The restaurant wasn’t anything flashy. Just a quiet little Italian place hidden between a florist shop and a dry cleaner. One of those places you only stumbled upon if you were really paying attention, or if, apparently, you were Sylvia. She had texted me the address earlier, and I’d stared at my phone for a full minute after reading it.How the hell did she know about this place?I walked in and immediately felt the difference from the cold, corporate world I’d just left. It was warm. Cozy. String lights hung low from the ceiling, casting a soft golden glow across the room. The tables were small, intimate. A faded jukebox in the corner played soft Sinatra. And the air smelled like garlic knots and homemade pasta.It was the kind of place that felt like it had secrets… and stories.And then I saw her.She was already sitting near the window, the soft light catching her face just enough to make my chest tighten. She was sipping water, one hand playing with the napkin in her la

  • Reclaiming Her Love   49!As friends!

    Logan The office was louder than usual.Phones were ringing nonstop. Voices were raised across cubicles. Fingers typed like they were chasing a deadline that didn’t exist yesterday but suddenly meant everything today. The usual soft jazz that floated from the lobby speakers, gone. Silence in the background, chaos in the foreground.You could feel the tension, thick like fog, crawling up your spine and pressing against your temples. Even the intern in charge of coffee hadn’t brewed a fresh pot in hours. That’s how serious it was.I stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass in my office, staring out at the city skyline. It was only 5:00 PM, but you’d think it was midnight. The sun had dipped early behind dark clouds, casting everything in gray. The streets below buzzed with cars and people going home, but none of that mattered in here. In here, we were fighting to keep the company alive.I turned back toward my desk where my laptop glowed like a warning sign. Bright red notifications blink

    Sylvia Lunch hour finally rolled in, and after back-to-back meetings and checking on the renovation progress at the hospital, I was done. My stomach had been grumbling for the last twenty minutes. I checked the time and quickly pulled out my phone to call Violet after chatting a little with Logan.“Hey, are you busy?” I asked the moment she picked up.“I’m always busy,” she replied in a dramatic sigh. “But what’s up?”“Let’s go eat. Noodles. My treat.”She didn’t even hesitate. “Say less. Text me the location.”Ten minutes later, we met at our favorite noodle restaurant just a few streets away from the hospital. The smell of spice and broth hit me the moment I stepped inside, and my mouth instantly watered. I waved at Violet who was already walking from the opposite end of the street.But before we could even make it to the counter, I stopped dead in my tracks. There were men in black suits around the area. They didn't make it obvious, but I instantly recognized them.“Wait,” I sai

  • Reclaiming Her Love   47!Noodles?

    LoganThe office was silent, almost too silent. The only sound was the soft, steady tapping of my fingers on the keyboard. I was buried under a mountain of work, contracts, reports, budget adjustments, staff evaluations, and about fifty emails I should’ve replied to five days ago. My coffee sat forgotten by my elbow, cold as ice, but I was too focused to care. My back ached from sitting in the same position for hours, but I couldn’t afford to stop. Not yet. I needed to finish up this proposal before the day got ahead of me.I was halfway through typing a critical clause when the door to my office suddenly burst open, without so much as a knock.Startled, I looked up, fully prepared to give the person a proper scolding. But of course... only one human being had the audacity to barge in like that and wear a grin like it was a badge of honor.Victor.There he was, leaning against the doorframe, looking far too pleased with himself.“Seriously?” I snapped. “What are you doing here?
