Logan

The headline scrolls across the bottom of the screen in bold letters—MAYRIDGE GROUP SIGNS EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH CONNOR MANSON.

My breath catches in my throat.

Connor Manson. The prominent investor we've been pursuing relentlessly to scout for three years. The one who could have opened doors to international markets we've been trying to break into. The one who's been playing hard to get with every major corporation on the East Coast.

And he just signs with MayRidge?

The disappointment leaves a bitter taste in my mouth as I lock eyes on the news, feeling every bit of disbelief sink into my body.

The camera shows a press conference. Flashing lights, microphones, the usual media chaos. And there, in the center of it all, shaking hands with Manson himself, is a face I know all too well.

Cole MayRidge.

Fiery red hair that catches the light like a burnished penny, thick wavy hair styled perfectly. Freckles that scatter across his pale skin like constellations. And those eyes… They're a

    Logan"Sir?" The employee's voice sounds distant. "Should I—what should I tell the board?"I don't answer, I'm too busy watching Cole MayRidge bask in his victory with my jaws clenching so hard, I think they might snap. There's no way in hell Cole didn't do this deliberately. The bastard probably found out we were courting Manson and swooped in specifically to play the anti-hero."Mr. Graham?" Alex's voice calls out, careful and concerned but I don't budge.A camera zooms in on Cole's face. He's answering the press's questions, and even though I can't hear what he's saying over the rushing in my ears, I can see the satisfaction written all over that stupid face of his. He knows this’ll hurt our company. He knows this’ll hurt—Me. I don't realize when I get up and slam my hands against the desk. Chest heaving back and forth as I struggle to control my anger.Why must this have to happen now of all times? I haven't even sent out the apology emails, yet another thing just has to happen

    Logan"Then just keep doing it, sometimes it takes time.""I don't want it to take time.” The words come out more bitter than I intended. “I already waited eleven years and all I want is to be with her now. Is that too much to ask for?” “I can understand your frustration but sometimes, things just don't go the way we want. Perhaps you could do some kind of grand gesture to show her that your feelings are genuine?”“I've tried that already. I bought her flowers and made the bouquet myself. I spent twenty minutes in that shop choosing every single stem.""That sounds thoughtful and lovely, sir." Alex utters softly with a smile. “All women love flowers.”"I didn't just grab random flowers, Alex." I lean forward again, needing him to understand. "I chose specific ones. Roses, tulips, and marigolds. Do you even know what those mean?"Alex blinks. "Uh... no?"Of course he doesn't. Why would he? I'm probably one of the few people under forty who bothers to learn about Victorian flower symbo

    Logan"She suffered a concussion but she'll be okay, she was conscious and speaking before I left." The words come out flat. “Well, thank God. That's great news.” Alex breathes a sigh of relief as he edges closer, taking one of the chairs across from my desk.“Yeah, but…”“But?” Alex prompts, curiosity evident in his face. I lean forward, elbows on the desk, and prop my cheek against my fist. "But she still doesn't want anything to do with me.""Did she say why?""No. She just..." I drop my hands, exhaling a sigh heavy with exasperation. "She looks at me like I'm a stranger—no, worse than a stranger. Like I'm someone she needs to be afraid of. I don't understand it, Alex. I don't know what I did wrong."The confession hangs in the air, an awkward silence stretching between us. Or maybe I'm the only one who finds it awkward. I'm not exactly used to talking about my feelings. Eleven years of keeping everything locked down tight doesn't exactly make you fluent in emotion.And when you

    LoganStart the damage control and send those apology emails to the investors and schedule the meeting. Prove to my father that I'm not...how did he say it? Oh, yes. An immature child who acts on impulse."Um, Mr. Graham. Please wait up!" I hear a female voice call out and I unconsciously turn to find myself face-to-face with—honestly, I have no idea. Father won't be pleased if he finds out I have little to no idea about his employees.My eyes scan over her and I notice that her blouse is cut low. A little too low. It's impossible not to notice actually. Her skirt is equally short, ending well above her knees, and she's positioned herself directly in my path, standing too close for comfort.This is nothing close to proper work etiquette. I contemplate on calling her out on it or just not bothering at all, I could really care less."Hi," she breathes, tilting her head, and curving her lips into a small smile. "I heard you had to leave suddenly earlier. Is everything okay?""It's fine.

    LoganI know my father. I know him well enough to understand that he's a complete maniac when it comes to his business. Well enough to know that when George Graham makes a threat, it's never empty.My heart sinks as worry claims its throne deep in my stomach.What the hell does he mean by drastic measures? What is he planning to do? Would he really lay a finger on Eunia if it comes down to it —or worse? I grit my teeth as fury blurs my vision.The uncertainty alone is enough to make my blood boil over.My fist connects with the steering wheel and I slam against it hard. The impact sends a jolt of pain through my arm, but it's nothing compared to the apprehension building up inside me. I hit the steering wheel again. And again. Each strike harder than the last, cursing the mess my life has become in the span of a few hours."Damn it!"The words tear out from me, echoing in the car, before the leather interior swallows it whole. I slump forward, pressing my forehead against the steeri
