Leigh’s POV

I decided to wear red.

Not the ones referred to as burgundy, not even wine. And also, can't be compared to 'journalist chic' maroon.

It was just red.

Stoplight polished red.

The type populary known as reputation rebuilding red.

“Are you very close convinced you would want to share your views about this with the public?” Logan finally decided to ask after what seemed like forever, as we sat quietly in the back of the car like people heading straight into the lion’s den for slaughter.

I calmly sipped my coffee before replying him. “I’m not going easy on anyone this time. If this would require me burning down every Stronghold, I don't mind doing so."

He didn’t find a way to pursude me to do otherwise, not even to argue.

That's a smart man right there.

The office as we returned hadn’t changed a bit.

It still had same polished floor, same buzzing energy oozed out from it. Even down to the lightening.

But this time, only that the pattern of doing things was about to be changed.

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    Chapter 84

    Logan’s POVLeigh read out the name, and for a second, the name sounded so familiar.Then it clicked, I knew him, he's very close to me.I couldn't believe my ears that he could do that.“That’s no other person but my cousin,” I finally whispered.And this time, it isn't the distant, twice removed type, constantly not available type, the ones you can only afford to see at funerals and awkward family get together and Thanksgiving dinners. No, that wasn't the case.It was Graham Hunt.The very one that I had beautiful memories with, right to the point of stealing brownies with him at family events. The one I bonded so well with to the point of teaching him how to knot a tie. The one who developed the habit of calling me “Bossman” with a wide grin plastered all ovr his wide mouth, not knowing he was pretending to be happy for me, and was just concerned with being near the throne alone.It tu

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    chapter 82

    Leigh’s POVHe stood there without saying anything at first.Which gave me the strong feeling that something was definitely wrong.Logan Hunt never for once adopt the measure of shutting up when he has something important to hide from me. He won't waste time in being overcompensate. He always made it his duty to distract me with sarcasm, or maybe plant few forehead kisses, or bring out some ridiculous tricks which would come in form of him pretending to "accidentally" stroll pass me totally shirtless. I noticed this has been happening each time there's a serious conversation between us.But reaching tonight?None of that happened. There was nothing.Today, there was just silence.And I have closely observed that silence with him was never to be chosen as it's more deafening than any storm present.“Logan,” I called, after standing for ages right in the middle of the bedroom, my arms folded ti

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    Chapter 81

    Logan’s POVI hadn’t had the luxury of closing my eyes in sleep even a bit ever since we saw a drone recording us by the window.There was something fishy about the radiance of that red blinking light seen as the drone hovered at the most critical moment of out retreat; our bonding moment. How precise it was in timing, targeting when we were all over each other and ruining the moment left me confused.As for Leigh, I was able to persuade her to go back to sleep, while I do the thinking for the both of us. But that sleep didn't come without a strange nightmare disturbing her, but she went back to sleep again almost immediately without telling me what it was.I sat downstairs not comfortably, as my mind filled with reflections of what we had passed through the last couple of weeks, and what could happen if none of that is arrested. The mug of coffee in my hand had gone cold when I finally remembered it.I went ahead to surf th

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    Chapter 80

    Leigh’s POV“This to me is giving kidnapping vibes,” I muttered as Logan skillfully pulled off the main road, diverting onto a lonely and also snow crusted path that from the look of things, hadn’t experienced a salt truck in the past days.“If that's what it is,” he said, his eyes still very much straight ahead of us, “I think I should let you know how much I've craved to hold you hostage and deliberately feed hot chocolate.”I dramatically rolled my eyes. “That’s not the comforting words I'm waiting to hear.”“I did you a favor, also brought marshmallows to keep your mouth entertained.”“Now you’re talking, that's the spirit.”I glanced through the car window to see the tires crunching through fresh snow as we sped up toward a small log cabin, carefully tucked between two strong pine trees. I observed smoke puffing gently from one end of t

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    Chapter 79

    Leigh’s POVWell, I couldn't wait for Logan before I could do something. Not that I don't trust him to handle it, I just couldn't sit back and watch things go south without being in control.It started from growing up, I never liked being pitied. Appearing on irrelevant headlines wasn't any of my plans for my career.You know this caption, “She survived against all odds.” “She bounced back.” “She fought and proved them wrong.”They always put it in a way which made it look like I one didn't pass through a lot of traumatizing situation before making back up.But I never agreed that I failed, no, I never failed. I earned everything by merit, never bribed my way, or endangered anyone's life just to benefit me.I was only pushed to a breaking limit.And right now?Right now I wasn't just returning coming back to be pushed to and fro ever again. I was returning with fac

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    chapter 78

    Logan’s POVI had suspected something fishy, that the meeting as they informed was a trap when the message was sent as a formal request through and in the most ridiculous firm, a printed envelope.I read no much meaning to it, I just went ahead and did my thing.And when it was time to honor their call, I walked with authority into the boardroom that morning, I stared in disbelief as every suit in the building had gathered and were already seated, silent, and ridiculously sipping overpriced coffee like they were ready to offer me a life changing deal.“Mr Hunt,” said Mr. Connors immediately my feet stepped into the hall. He was the head of external relations, regularly incharge of alot of things, including to the ones out of his job descriptions. He's a bald man. Always have the looks of someone battling indigestion. “We are honored to have you here, and we appreciate you coming.&

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    Chapter 77

    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. 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

  • 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
