Semua Bab The billionaire who stole my heart : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Leigh’s POV   I 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 left Brutally 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

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

Leigh’s POV  I 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. 

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

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
