Amelia's POV

It’s been two days since Logan said, “It’s all for the crowd.”

Two days since I’ve heard from him.

No calls. No texts. Nothing.

And I don’t even know how I feel about it.

I wasn’t heartbroken. Just... disappointed. I knew what I signed up for. It was a deal.

Nothing more. Still, that didn’t explain why my chest tightened every time I thought about that moment ; the night had ended so perfectly… until it didn’t.

But nevertheless, I had work to do – in my office.

By the time I showered and got dressed, I looked like I had it all together, even if I didn’t feel it. Black trousers, a crisp white blouse, and my soft curls falling over my shoulders. I was looking…ready; at least on the outside.

I walked into Connells Enterprises through the private entrance, heels clicking against the polished marble floors. The building, all glass and silver, reflected the morning sun so perfectly. Staffs turned as I passed, some smiled, some stood a little straighter, well t

  • The Heiress And The Billionaire's Revenge    Chapter 066

    Amelia's POV When I opened my eyes, sunlight filtered through the curtains. I blinked a few times, realizing I had fallen asleep after that talk with Logan.I checked the time and it was still afternoon. My head still felt heavy, but my heart… calmer. Maybe it was the talk we had that made me feel better.I sat up slowly, brushing my hair back. Logan’s house was quiet, except for the low hum of conversation coming from downstairs.I took a deep breath, stood up, and checked my reflection in the mirror. My face was pale but less tired. “You’re okay,” I whispered to myself, then turned to grab my purse from the bed.As I stepped out of the guest room, Logan’s voice reached me.“Hey, sleeping beauty’s awake,” he teased, leaning casually against the outside the door. His shirt sleeves were rolled up, and that playful smile of his curved at the corner.I sighed, “How long was I out?”“Just a couple of hours,” he said. “You obviously needed it.”“I did,” I admitted softly.For a moment, we

  • The Heiress And The Billionaire's Revenge    Chapter 065

    Amelia’s POV The room was quiet, filled only with the faint hum of the air vent and the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. I walked into the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face, hoping it would cool the burning in my eyes and the tiredness that clung to my body. When the water trickled down my cheeks, I caught my reflection in the mirror. Lord I looked pale, with shadows under my eyes, and a dullness I hadn’t seen before. Paris had been… crazy, it drained me mentally. I was still trying to understand how I was standing here pretending to be fine. After using the bathroom, I washed my hands and dried them slowly, staring at the soft towel like I’d forgotten what normal felt like. I breathed out quietly before walking out.. I sat on the bed, ran my fingers through my hair, and picked up my phone. There was one person I had to call right now — my mom. She probably already knew I was back in LA, but hearing her voice always made something in me ease. I di

  • The Heiress And The Billionaire's Revenge    Chapter 064

    Amelia’s POV The soft bump of the plane’s wheels against the runway snapped me out of my thoughts. We were finally back in LA. And I was back to reality, back to the noise, the cameras, work and… every other thing I’d been trying not to think about since I was attacked. Through the small window, I could already see flashing lights in the distance, paparazzi waiting near the private jet terminal. My chest tightened instantly. I wasn’t ready. Not for the crowd or for the questions, because it made my mind go back to the incident. As the plane slowed down, I stared at my trembling hands. I tried to steady them, but they wouldn’t stop shaking. “You okay?” Logan’s voice came from beside me. I forced a nod. “Yeah, just… a little nervous.” He reached out and covered my hand with his. His warmth spread through my skin, grounding me a little. “I’m here,” he said softly. His tone carried the same mix of strength and gentleness that always made me feel safe. Before I could answer, Eri

  • The Heiress And The Billionaire's Revenge    Chapter 063

    Erica hadn’t said a single word to Logan since yesterday, not when we boarded, not when we sat down, not even a glance his way. She’d locked herself in her room at the back of the jet. Logan pretended not to care, but I could tell he did. He sat beside me now, head resting on my lap, one arm lazily hanging by his side. His eyes were closed, but I knew his mind wasn’t quiet. I brushed my fingers through his hair. “Aren’t you going to talk to your sister?” I asked softly. He opened one eye, sighed, then shut it again. “She obviously doesn’t wanna talk to me. So I’ll give her space.” “You sure that’s a good idea?” Logan tilted his head up slightly, his gaze meeting mine. There was a hint of tiredness in his eyes, something deeper than anger. “You can go try talk to her though.” “Me?” I blinked, pointing at myself. “Yeah.” He gave a half-smile. “You’re calm, patient… kind. And I’m—” “Hot-headed?” I finished for him, teasing lightly. He chuckled. “Exactly. If I go in there, we’ll

  • The Heiress And The Billionaire's Revenge    Chapter 062

    Logan’s POVI followed them through, my heart pounding harder with every step.Chris’s hand was on her back, leading her out like she belonged to him. The event wasn’t even over and this guy thought he could sneak away with my sister?Not happening.I caught up just in time to hear him say softly, “Don’t worry about him, babe. He’ll calm down. You deserve to live a little.”Babe.That word snapped something inside me.“Erica,” I barked, my voice echoing through the hall.She froze. Chris turned, that smug smile still plastered on his face.“What now, Logan?” he said casually, his tone too calm for someone who just got caught.“What now?” I repeated, stepping closer. “You think you can walk out with my sister like that? The party’s not even over.”“She wanted to leave,” he said, shrugging. “I’m not forcing her.”I turned to Erica. “Is that true?”Her eyes flickered between us — guilt, fear, confusion. “I just wanted to get some air,” she muttered.“Air?” I snapped. “You can breathe al

  • The Heiress And The Billionaire's Revenge    Chapter 061

    Logan’s POVAt first, I thought my eyes were deceiving me.From across the room, under the dim gold lights, I saw her, the girl standing beside Chris. The same long chestnut hair, the small scar above her brow she got when she fell off her bike years ago. For a moment, my mind froze.No. It can’t be.Maybe it was someone who just looked like her. Someone with the same eyes, the same smile. But when I blinked again, the truth hit me like a punch.Chris leaned toward her and kissed her hand.My stomach turned. Every sound in here suddenly faded into a dull ringing in my ears. I felt heat rise up my neck as I watched his hand linger on hers.And that’s when I knew.It was her.It was Erica.My little sister.“What the hell…” I whispered under my breath, trying to process it. What is she doing here? And him why the hell is he with her?Before I even realized it, my legs were already moving. I didn’t care about the people staring. I didn’t care that it was the closing night of the retreat
