Logan strolled to my side, handed me a mug containing strong coffee, the kind that could possibly raise the dead and within seconds, cancel regrets.
“Because you’re no other person but Leigh Maverick,” he said, sitting comfortably beside me on the couch, “and from all I know Leigh Maverick doesn’t run. She's addicted to rewriting the damn story.”
“I want to take to my heels this time,” I muttered joking while sipping the coffee
“That's fine,” he grinned, slowly draping one of his arms over my shoulder. “But let it be known to you that if you run, I’m wasting no time in running with you. And this time, it would be matching hoodies, flirting with fake names, and I w

Leigh’s POV“Tell me again the reason I’m not figeting and hiding under your warm bed with a box containing cookies and a blanket created out of denial?”Logan strolled to my side, handed me a mug containing strong coffee, the kind that could possibly raise the dead and within seconds, cancel regrets.“Because you’re no other person but Leigh Maverick,” he said, sitting comfortably beside me on the couch, “and from all I know Leigh Maverick doesn’t run.

The billionaire who stole my heart Chapter 76
Logan’s POVWe were still very much tangled together.Still wrapped up, drowning aimlessly in the afterglow of something that I wasn't sure would pass through the test of time.Leigh’s head was still resting peacefully on my bare chest, I lay quietly as her fingers traced nothing but lazy circles over my skin. I wasn’t really sure if what she was doing was her way of soothing me or just another way to brand me to her taste, either way, I didn't care, all I wanted was to be close to her.The room but now camouflaged by smelling just like her. Like her sweet vanilla and vindication sweet aroma.Then, as we tried resting...We heard a bang on the door. It came three times, making us jump out of our skin.“I swear, I will definitely break someone's head if that happens to be Mason again...” Leigh groaned clearly annoyed, reaching out to grab the blanket and clutching it protectively to help
The billionaire who stole my heart Chapter 75
Leigh’s POVI wasn’t supposed to come near, talk of knocking on his door.I had convinced myself I was only taking a stroll past his street to clear my head, that it wasn’t intentional that I picked his street, but because of its quiet nature.But somehow, my feet managed to make the decision even before my heart had the chance to make it's mind up.But before I knew, there I was.Standing outside, holding out my hand to ring the bell in his penthouse door.I didn’t even succeed in knocking again.And the door opened somehow opened before I could. Like it has been expecting me, like it had been mandated to do so on sensing my aura.And when I looked up, there he stood, completely barefoot, checking him out, I noticed he was wearing a grey T shirt and joggers. I was shocked on seeing him on simple outfit. Isn't this the Logan Hunt that put fesr in many, even caused trouble in boardrooms.
The billionaire who stole my heart Chapter 74
Logan’s POVThey warned me not to do it.The PR team of my company. The board members as a whole. Even Mason wasn't left out as he stared at me weirdly like I had without doubt lost my last functioning brain cell.“You want to of all things, issue a public statement concerning what?” he lamented, arms crossed, and could be likened to a disappointed mentor. “Logan, this is not how personal matters are supposed to be handled, especially with the involvemeny of the company."“She’s shouldn't be considered as a personal matter,” I snapped angrily at him. These days, I had done nothing but scream like an angry bird at a little provocation. “She’s exactly the reason I got to pay attention to any of this. And from all I know, she deserves to be heard. She deserves her name to be restored back.”So, without listening to side talks, I just went ahead with i
The billionaire who stole my heart Chapter 73
Logan’s POV“I’m not here to request for the impossible,” I said, breathlessly as I quickly covered the little space between us. “i need need a new beginning. A real one this time around. With no scripts attached, nothing to control us. There won't be room for us to pretend we are okay when we’re obviously not.”Leigh didn't say anything, rather, she crossed her arms, her delicate fingers tucked sweetly into the sleeves of an oversized cardigan which I noticed she always wears each time she doesn't trust the world and the creatures inside, even down to herself.“You’re so good with words, good to the point of brainwashing anyone” she said quietly. “But you are forgetting that sweet words don’t undo wounds, especially deep wounds.”I took a fast step toward her, even closer this time. The space remaining between us still in a way felt much like a battl
The billionaire who stole my heart Chapter 72
Leigh’s POVI didn't have in my plan to be around that day, I wasn't supposed to be anywhere close to the gallery that day.I had intentionally dropped off the little collections of paintings I had reluctantly agreed to part way with when Kira couldn't leave me, under an alias...“Elle Carter.” No bio was added. No story to give the painting a life. Just plain art.Kira in her usual dramatic way, swore up and down it would be just fine.“No one’s gonna have the time to digest and piece it together, babe,” she had assured me. “Besides, Brindlewood these days is the head quarters of Bermuda Triangle of nobodies. You’re perfectly safe here.”And stupid me foolishly believed her.Until the last minute when I wasn’t safe anymore.Until he stormed in without a warning.Until Logan Hunt stood not anywhere else but in fron
The billionaire who stole my heart Chapter 71
Leigh’s POVI used to tell all that ever cared to listen that my mother was dead.Not when meant in a poetic way like, “oh she’s finally dead to me”.No, that's not it, I mean dead, involving funeral, bought coffin, truly buried in the ground dead type.And the most craziest part of it all? I didn't find it difficult in believing it too. Or at least, it was so simple convincing myself such exists.It was easier that way than facing the truth.I will never admit that she just leftBrutally walked out of our lives, carrying with her a suitcase that in no way had the room, enough to pack in all the emotional, psychological damage she caused us as she was going.I was barely seven years old. It's still clear in my head like a scar from a deep wound remembers the blade that caused it.She had dressed up all beautiful, wore this red scarf aroun
The billionaire who stole my heart Chapter 70
Logan's POV “I’m not going craze, Mason.” I defended.I angrily slammed the car door closed and dramatically crossed my arms just the exact way a toddler refusing vegetables would have done.Manson sighed, already getting fed up with my childish attitude, his fingers drumming the steering wheel in a manner that suggests he might beat me up anytime. “I didn’t say the part which states you were crazy. I only said you seemed unraveling.” he tried to explain, but I wasn't having it.“There’s a little difference?” I asked while pretending.“Yes, big difference!” he threw his hands up trying to make me understand and reason with him.“One obviously involves padded walls and chains. The other involves for no reason, you staring awkwardly at Leigh’s Instagram profile for hours, especially at 3 a.m., the kind that suggests it owes you child support.”I scowled, still trying to defend my stupidity. “I’m just a young man who's madly in love.”“No,” he said with a finality. “From my point, you’r
The billionaire who stole my heart Chapter 69
Leigh’s POV“You’ve got a visitor awaiting you,” Kira had announcd, poking her head dramatically into the art studio. “And from my honest observstion, she looks like trouble.”I didn’t even care to turn. “If it’s another crazy customer here to ask for a portrait of their sweetheart dog dressed as a Victorian butler, I beg you in God's name, tell them I’m totally booked till the next two centuries.”Kira didn’t even laugh as usual. She just cleared her throat, maybe to indicate it was way more than that.“She told me her name is… Marianne.”On hearing that, I didn't know when thevpaintbrush slipped out of my fingers.Marianne...Let me introduce myself properly to you all. My full name happens to be Raleigh Marianne Maverick.The only other person in this planet earth who would risk calling my name in full and without f
