Audrey's POV

As we stepped out of the car and started walking towards the house, Logan's hand brushed lightly against my back, guiding me forward.

“From now on, any text Matteo sends you, you show me,” he said casually.

“Every single one?” I asked as I glanced at him.

“Yes,” he said.

His tone wasn't forceful, but it wasn't something I could argue with eitherit carried that quiet authority it always had – the kind that made it clear he expected to be obeyed without raising his voice.

    Logan's POVSmoke thickened by the second.It curled through the ventilation shafts in slow gray ribbons, turning the beam of every flashlight into a hazy tunnel of light.Nobody panicked and that was the only reason we still had a chance."Two officers with Eleanor, nobody leaves her,” I ordered and the medic nodded immediately."We'll stay with her,” one of them said.I looked at the brass key resting in my palm. It was old, older than everything else in this room.Years of use had worn its edges smooth, yet someone had polished it recently. Someone had expected it to be used again."Eleanor," I said, kneeling beside her once more."The cabinet. Where is it?" I asked.She lifted a trembling finger toward the endless rows of steel filing cabinets."Back wall..." She added and struggled to breathe."Third row..." She said and another cough interrupted her."...last cabinet,” she finally said."Come on,” John said, as he started moving.Three officers followed as we hurried deeper into

    Audrey's POVThere were days when silence felt peaceful. Today wasn't one of them, something was wrong.I couldn't explain why. Nothing had happened, there was no alarming phone calls, no frantic messages, yet a strange heaviness had settled over me the moment I woke up.I stood in Logan's office, staring through the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking downtown Los Angeles. The city bustled below, oblivious to the storm that seemed to be gathering around us.Behind me, the television played on mute. Every news channel was still discussing the recent developments surrounding the Hargrove family.About the missing heiress, corporate scandal, and all. The headlines had become impossible to escape.I reached for the remote and switched the television off. The silence that followed wasn't much better. After a while, a gentle knock sounded on the office door."Come in,” I muttered.Miss Martha stepped inside with Nia skipping happily beside her. The moment Nia saw me, she smiled."Mama!" N

    Logan's POVEvery instinct in my body screamed at me to force the door open. Instead, I held up a fist and everyone behind me stopped. Silence settled over the tunnel once again, as the faint voice came a second time.It was weak, broken, and impossible to make out. John's breathing grew heavier beside me."You heard it too," John whispered and I nodded once."It wasn't mechanical,” I muttered."No,” John replied."It was a person,” I added."I can force it,” the officer working on the keypad said, as he glanced over his shoulder."Too loud," I replied."We don't know what's waiting on the other side,” he muttered.He returned to the keypad, pulling a small electronic device from his vest.The tiny screen flickered to life as wires disappeared beneath the access panel."Give me three minutes,” the officer said.I looked back down the tunnel and there was nothing. There were no footsteps, there was no movement. Everywhere was just too quiet.It was almost as if whoever had built this

    Logan's POV The order rippled across every radio channel."Charlie Team, maintain visual, no contact, no confrontation,” I ordered."Understood," came the immediate reply."If the man with the backpack is only carrying equipment, then he's expendable,” I said, turning to John."You think he's a courier,” John said, as he frowned."I think he's the lowest person in the chain,” I replied."And the higher-ups?" John asked."They won't expose themselves unless they believe the route is secure,” I muttered."The jammer just went offline,” Kimmie said, looking up from her laptop.Every head snapped toward her immediately."What?" I muttered and she refreshed the screen."The interference stopped six seconds ago,” she said and I stared at the monitor."They're moving,” I muttered."Or they've finished what they came to do," John said.Neither possibility was encouraging. The technician monitoring the ground sensors spoke again."Movement,” the technician said."Where?" I asked."The western

    Logan's POVBy noon, every member of the surveillance team was in position.The abandoned psychiatric hospital looked exactly like the photographs had suggested, forgotten by the world.Nature had reclaimed most of it, vines climbed cracked brick walls, broken windows stared back like empty eyes.The iron gates had collapsed years ago, leaving only rusted hinges swaying in the breeze.From a distance, it looked lifeless. That was precisely what bothered me.Places that were truly abandoned didn't consume fuel every night. They didn't receive armored vehicles and they certainly didn't attract Victor Hale."Status,” I said as I lowered the binoculars.The command crackled through my earpiece."Team Alpha in position.""Bravo in position.""Charlie covering the eastern access road."I looked toward the tree line. John stood a few feet away, studying the property through his own binoculars.Neither of us had spoken much during the drive. There wasn't much left to say.The truth was somewh

    Logan's POVSleep had become a luxury.Not because I couldn't close my eyes, but because every time I did, another piece of the puzzle shifted.Victor Hale wasn't running anymore, he was retreating. There was a difference.A man who ran wanted to survive, a man who retreated already knew where he was going. That made him far more dangerous.The conference room at Lowill Group headquarters was quiet when I walked in just after six in the morning.John was already there, standing beside the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking downtown Los Angeles. Without turning around, he spoke."Did Audrey sleep?" John asked and I nodded."Eventually,” I said."And you?" he asked and I smiled faintly."I watched her,” I replied.He turned to face me, studying me for a long moment."You love her,” he said.It wasn't a question. Months ago, I would have denied it. The contract, the revenge, that had been the plan.Now… There wasn't a contract in the world strong enough to explain what Audrey had becom

    Logan’s POVI did not answer her immediately.The question lingered heavily between us while the kitchen lights reflected softly against the marble counters.What happens when this year ends? I should have had an answer by now.The contract had been my idea from the start. Three hundred and sixty-f

    Matteo’s POVThe file slammed against the wall before sliding to the floor.My assistant flinched so hard that coffee spilled from the cup in his hand onto the carpet, but I barely noticed. Rage was already burning through me too fast.“How do you lose a client like that?” I snapped.“I tried to ex

    Audrey’s POVI stared at the monitor with a growing sense of irritation.“No, that doesn’t look right,” I muttered. The photographer barely glanced at me.“It’s fine,” he said.Fine? It absolutely was not fine. The entire point of the LovePlus bodysuit launch was confidence, comfort, and elegance.
