LOGAN’S POV

“Okay, sir,” Amaya responded again, and I almost laughed, but I controlled myself. I couldn’t burst out laughing in front of her. I had to keep my composure.

I was surprised that such a simple word—"sir"—amused me. Maybe it was the way she said it, overly dramatic. But why did it make me feel better?

I should be angry. My mother really tested my patience today. If I had lost control, I might have killed her.

I can’t believe she’s been trailing me all this time. She has some crazy informants feeding her information about my whereabouts.

And I’m sure she’s not using humans to track me. It has to be some high-tech surveillance—some insane scientist’s invention. If it were a human following me, I would’ve sensed it long ago.

I clearly told her to stop spying on me. But her response made me regret ever having her as a mother.

She told me to sleep with Amaya, and if I did, she’d stop watching me.

What kind of mother forces her grown son into something like that?

  • The Billionaire Revenge Contract    Chapter 44: I've Got Her

    Logan’s POVI continued my work on the laptop immediately Beatrice left, she've got her own ways on getting my attention. My fingers sprinted across the keyboard as I worked on a file but the sound of a notification killed my determantion, I checked and it was a news.A shocking one.Unbelievable one. My fingers hovered above the keyboard, unmoving. I didn’t even say a word, I just tilted the screen slightly towards Maxon, my right hand frozen mid-air, my mouth parted slightly. My throat felt like it dried up in an instant.Maxon leaned forward, his brows knitting. “What the hell…?”He looked at me, searching my face for an explanation I didn’t have. “Who could’ve done this?”I didn’t reply. I couldn’t. I was still reading and re-reading the headline over and over again as if it would change.“Renowned Businessman Alfred Rocco Linked to Multiple Deaths – Leaked by His In-Law, Wellington Logan.”Me.They said I leaked it.I leaned back slowly, dragging my palm down my face. My breat

  • The Billionaire Revenge Contract    Chapter 23: Exited

    BEATRICE’S POVI watched Alfred—his every movement, his carefully guarded expressions, the way his eyes darted briefly before settling back into that mask of deception he always wore.With years of distance and countless lies between us, I can still see through him.He tries to appear composed, but I know better. Beneath that well-fitted suit and polished calm, he is panicking.He is afraid.He’s scared of slipping, of saying the wrong thing, of exposing the rot he’s tried so hard to hide.His guilt dances at the edges of his silence, and it makes my skin crawl.A smirk curved on my lips—not out of joy, but justice.A silent declaration that I saw him for who he truly was.He stood up slowly.Of course, he would run.He always runs—just like now, pretending it’s one of his busy hours. Pretending he’s too important to stay."I just got a business deal. I think I need to go," he said, so casually. But I knew—he wasn’t leaving for work. He was fleeing reality.He’s escaping the truth.Th

  • The Billionaire Revenge Contract    Chapter 42: We All Know The Secret

    ALFRED’S POVA smile escaped my lips as I read Beatrice’s message inviting me to dinner. Not because I was happy. No. There was something about that woman that never sat right with me. Since the day we crossed paths at the graveyard, I haven’t been able to shake off the suspicion.She carries herself like someone harmless—elegant, calm, sweet. But I’ve lived too long to be fooled by faces like that. Those are the ones that hide things best.What bothered me wasn’t the dinner. It was what she said that day. Hayes. She mentioned his name so casually, too casually. Like it slipped. But I don’t believe in slips like that. She was watching me when she said it, her eyes sharp behind that smile.I didn’t react, of course. Kept my face still, like she’d said nothing important. But inside, I froze.Hayes.That name holds too much. Too much past. Too many risks. Too many buried things that should never surface.Still, I let her talk. Let her think she was in control. I positioned myself

  • The Billionaire Revenge Contract    Chapter 41: The Deadly Test

    AMAYA’S POVMy breath was still uneven, as soon as my eyes landed on Beatrice who stood at the doorway like a queen assessing her court. Her sharp eyes darted between Logan and me, and the corner of her lips tugged upward in amusement.My heart skipped a beat as I swallowed hard under Logan. Slowly, Logan pulled away, sitting on the bed and I also sat on the bed, my lips pressed into a thin line as I frustratedly wait for Logan to say something but he never did. So, Beatrice heard everything I said about trying to impress her. Shit!I've put myself in trouble.“Do you really want to impress me, wifey?” Beatrice asked, voice laced with sarcasm. Confirming the fact that she heard everything I said. The word wifey hit harder than it should’ve. My heart thudded against my ribs, but instead of shrinking like I usually did, I opened my mouth before I could think of a better reply to this confusing woman. “I really do mother-in-law” I said, and then added with a faint smile.Silence.The

  • The Billionaire Revenge Contract    Chapter 40: Yes, Mother-in-law

    LOGAN'S POVI watched as Mr. Ronald, the lawyer, left my house.Not like I couldn’t stop him—I could. If I insisted on the divorce, he’d surely drop the documents.But deep down... I didn’t want to leave Amaya, I was pretending to be nonchalant about it but seriously, the divorce scare me too. The sound of the front door closing echoed through the silence. Amaya glanced at me, her eyes holding a silent question—What’s going on? I read it in her expression, but I didn’t answer. I didn’t move.She waited—longer than she should have.And then, like a wave retreating from the shore, she turned and quietly walked upstairs.I stood there, still, until I heard the last creak of the stairs.Then I turned to my mother, who was already seated on the couch like she owned the place, her fingers tapping briskly on my laptop.“What the heck is this? How did you know we were getting divorced? Because the last time I checked, I didn’t inform you,” I said, more observation than accusation.Beatrice r

  • The Billionaire Revenge Contract    Chapter 39: My Crazy Mother-in-law

    AMAYA'S POVAs Logan pulled me into a hug, my mind went blank. What was he doing?Didn't he say he wanted to get rid of his feelings for me? And now, all of a sudden, he wants me? Why is he making things harder by pulling me even closer?I'm also trying to let go of the affection I have for him.But then, he said something that broke down my defenses and gave me an odd sense of peace."I'm sorry," he muttered, patting my back.I relaxed my muscles and hugged him back. The almighty Logan just apologized! That’s something he would never do for anyone—but he did it for me.Maybe I was wrong about everything. Maybe he's not so bad after all.As we hugged, I could feel his warmth, his heartbeat. Everything just felt surreal.I'm actually hugging Logan.We stayed like that for a while.During the silence, I wondered why Logan didn’t say anything more.
