Logan

It felt strange walking back into my office after two long months. Everything looked the same, the polished mahogany desk, the tall glass windows overlooking the city, even the faint smell of coffee that lingered in the air. Yet something about the place felt foreign, like time had moved on without me.

I dropped my briefcase on the table and exhaled deeply. “Home again,” I muttered to myself. But truthfully, the hospital had felt more like home these past weeks, watching over Andrea day and night, sleeping on that narrow couch beside her bed, waiting for every little sign of improvement.

Now, she was finally strong enough to convince me to go back to work. She practically begged me.

“Logan,” she’d said that morning, smiling weakly from her hospital bed, “I’m not a baby. Sylvia and Violet are here. Go before your company collapses without you.”

I laughed. “You sure?”

“Positive. Go. I’ll call you if I even sneeze.”

So, I left. And though I missed her the moment I walked out of th

  • Reclaiming Her Love   135!Welcome to my army!

    KateEmily arrived ten minutes late.I noticed everything, her careful steps, the way her eyes scanned the street before she knocked, the tension hidden behind her makeup. She tried to look calm, but I could smell fear on people like perfume. Fear always announced itself, no matter how expensive the cover was.I opened the door myself.“Emily,” I said with a smile. “You look thinner.”She rolled her eyes lightly. “Stress will do that to you.”I stepped aside to let her in. “Come in. You’re safe here.”She hesitated for half a second before walking in. That hesitation amused me.The house was quiet, warm, and carefully designed to look harmless. Cream walls. Soft couches. A small shelf of books I never read. Anyone walking in would think this was the home of a bored woman hiding from the world.That was the point.Emily removed her coat and sat down slowly, crossing her legs. “You really like disappearing, don’t you?”“I like control,” I corrected, pouring wine into two glasses. “Disap

  • Reclaiming Her Love   !She promised protection!

    Logan The building smelled like sweat, bleach, and lies.That was the first thing that hit me as Victor and I stepped into the holding facility. It wasn’t a regular police station. It was one of those quiet places, off the books, gray walls, no windows, no noise. The kind of place where people came when the law needed help asking questions it couldn’t ask out loud.The kind of place I hated.And needed.Victor walked beside me, his face calm, but I knew him well enough to recognize the tension in his shoulders. He was angry too. Just better at hiding it.“They’re in separate rooms,” the officer leading us said. “We ran their phones, bank accounts, and contacts. Nothing useful. No messages. No money trail. They’re clean.”“People like that are never clean,” I said coldly.The officer stopped in front of a metal door. “They’re not talking. At all.”Victor glanced at me. “Then we make them.”The officer hesitated, then unlocked the door and stepped aside. “You have ten minutes each.”Th

  • Reclaiming Her Love   133!Speculative and prejudicial!

    SylviaWeeks had passed since the hospital incident.Weeks of pain, questions, whispers, and slow healing.I was better now, not fully healed, but strong enough to stand, to walk, to face the world again. The bandage on my head was gone, replaced by a faint scar hidden under my hair. The bruises on my arms had faded, but the memory of hands gripping me too tight still lived under my skin.Today was the second court proceeding.And this time, there would be no wheelchair.I stood in front of the mirror early that morning, staring at my reflection. I looked… different. Thinner. Sharper. Like someone who had been broken and forced to rebuild herself quickly.Logan stood behind me, adjusting his tie. Violet hovered near the door, checking her phone repeatedly. Victor was already outside, coordinating security.“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” Logan asked gently.I met his eyes in the mirror. “If I don’t show up again, they’ll keep saying I’m hiding and there is nothing to hide.”He n

  • Reclaiming Her Love   132!She has history!

    SylviaThe noise reached me before I saw anything.It was not the normal hospital noise, the soft beeping of machines, quiet footsteps, low voices. This was louder. Messier. Like chaos pressing against glass.Voices overlapped. Cameras clicked nonstop. Someone shouted a name.My name.“Sylvia Rhodes!”I froze in my wheelchair just outside the elevator. Violet’s hand tightened on the handle behind me, and Victor immediately stepped forward, his body blocking half my view.“What is going on?” I asked quietly.Logan didn’t answer right away. I could feel his tension even without looking at him. His jaw was tight, shoulders rigid, like a man bracing for impact.Then I saw them.Reporters. At least twenty of them. Maybe more. They filled the hospital lobby like a flood that had broken through a dam. Cameras pointed forward. Microphones stretched out on long poles. Phones held up, already recording.Security guards tried, and failed, to keep them behind a thin line.The moment someone spott

    Sylvia When Violet and Victor stepped out of the room, the door clicking softly behind them, the air changed instantly.It wasn’t just quiet.It was charged.I shifted slightly on the bed, adjusting myself carefully. Logan was still standing near the window, his broad back facing me. His shoulders were stiff, like he was carrying the weight of the whole world on them.“Are you planning to stand there all day,” I asked lightly, “or are you coming back to keep me company?”He turned slowly, one eyebrow raised. “You don’t look like someone who needs company.”“Oh, I do,” I replied. “Especially when I’m surrounded by serious men who don’t know how to relax.”He walked back toward me, pulling the chair closer and sitting down. “Relax?” he scoffed. “Sylvia, you’re in a hospital bed because someone wanted you silenced.”I sighed. “There you go. Mood killer.”He shook his head. “You joke too much.”“And you worry too much,” I shot back. “That’s why we balance each other.”That earned me a sm

  • Reclaiming Her Love   130!Clearing the Air!

    Sylvia The hospital room felt too small for the number of people inside it.The curtains were drawn halfway, letting in pale afternoon light that rested softly on the white walls. Machines beeped quietly beside me, a slow, steady rhythm that reminded me I still wasn’t fully okay, no matter how much I tried to act like I was.Logan stood near the window, arms folded, his posture stiff. Violet sat close to my bed, one hand resting lightly on the rail as if she was afraid I might disappear if she let go. Victor leaned against the wall near the door, calm on the outside but watchful in a way I had come to recognize.And then there was me.Bandaged. Bruised. Tired.But alert.The door opened quietly, and the atmosphere in the room changed instantly.The governor stepped in.He didn’t come alone. Two lawyers followed him, along with one aide. They all stopped just inside the room, careful not to cross an invisible line. He didn’t come closer to my bed. He didn’t smile. He didn’t look angry
