LOGINA poignant and emotional tale about Mia, a woman trapped in a loveless marriage that was built on a business arrangement rather than affection. Married to Kyle Branson, a successful and detached businessman, Mia's life is an unacknowledged shadow to his true love—her younger stepsister, Taylor. When Mia unexpectedly discovers she is pregnant with twins, the news shakes her world, especially since her marriage contract forbids pregnancy. As Mia grapples with the reality of carrying Kyle's children, she faces not only the crushing weight of their cold, contractual relationship but also the sting of betrayal as Kyle continues his affair with Taylor. Mia’s internal battle intensifies as she navigates the emotional turmoil of being invisible to the man she once loved and the looming secret of her pregnancy.
View MoreMia's POVThe family lounge was too bright. That was the thing about hospitals—they never let you forget where you were. The fluorescent lights hummed overhead, casting everything in that flat, shadowless glare that made everyone look slightly ill. Even Sophie, with her perfect makeup and her Hermès scarf, looked washed out. Gray around the edges.Madison was asleep against my shoulder.Her breath came slow and even, warm against my neck. She'd been asleep for almost an hour now, her small body heavy with the particular weight of exhausted children."Coffee?"Thomas's voice. Low. Careful. He was holding a paper cup, steam rising from the surface.I shook my head.He sat down anyway. Not next to me—there wasn't room, with Madison sprawled across half the couch—but close. Close enough that I could smell the coffee, dark and bitter, cutting through the nothing-smell of the hospital air."You should eat something," he said."I'm fine."He didn't respond. Just sat there, holding his coffe
Mia's POVI didn't sleep.I tried. For the first hour, I lay in bed and stared at the ceiling and told myself that sleep would come.It didn't.So I got up. Made tea. Let it go cold on the counter. Made another cup. Let that one go cold too. I cleaned the kitchen even though it was already clean. I folded laundry that didn't need folding. I sat on the couch with Gas's head in my lap, her pregnant belly rising and falling with each breath, and I watched the numbers on my phone change.3:47. 3:48. 3:49.It came anyway.The light crept through the curtains, gray at first, then that pale gold that means the day has started whether you're ready or not. I watched it happen. Watched the room transform from dark to light, shadow to color. My eyes were dry and scratchy from crying, the skin around them tight and swollen. I caught my reflection in the window glass and looked away.Gas lifted her head when I stood up, her dark eyes following me across the room. She'd been restless all night too,
Mia's POVHe took a breath. "Mia.""Don't." I held up my hand. "It's a new immunotherapy procedure. CAR-T cell infusion combined with targeted lymphodepletion."I stared at him."Hugo's team has been monitoring my markers," he continued. His voice was steady. Too steady. "My baseline has improved enough that I'm finally eligible. There's a clinical trial at Johns Hopkins—one of the leading researchers in autoimmune disorders. They accepted me three days ago.""Three days," I said. "You've known for three days.""Yes.""Were you going to tell me at all?" My voice cracked. "Or were you just going to disappear into a hospital tomorrow and hope I didn't notice?""I was going to tell you tonight.""Tonight. The night before." I laughed. It sounded wrong. "Twelve hours. Wow. How generous.""The procedure has a narrow window. The timing—""I don't give a shit about the timing!"The words exploded out of me. Louder than I meant. I didn't care."I don't give a shit about your window or your c
Mia's POVThe restaurant was warm and loud and smelled like French fries.Alexander had ketchup on his chin. On his shirt. Somehow on his forehead. Ethan was methodically finishing his chicken nuggets in a precise pattern—largest to smallest. Madison had eaten half a grilled cheese and declared herself "so full I might explode."They were tired. I could see it in the way Alexander's movements were slowing down, the way Ethan's blinks were getting longer. Madison was already leaning against my arm, her eyes half-closed."Time to go," I said.No protests. That's how I knew they were truly exhausted. Alexander didn't even argue.The walk to the parking lot was slow. Madison's arms were around my neck, her head on my shoulder, her body a warm, heavy weight against my chest. Eleanor was squished between us.Kyle had both boys. One on each arm. I don't know how he managed it—Alexander alone was a solid forty pounds of wrigg
