She strides right in front of me, not wasting any time.“I knew from the day I set my eyes on you that you were trouble, but I never imagined the trouble you would bring would almost cost him his life.”I stare at her. "This isn't the time for accusations, Samantha. Logan is fighting for his life. If you have something to say, now isn’t the moment. And I didn’t do anything. We were just arguing," I say, trying to defend myself.She mimics me. "Just having an argument that cost him being shot three times? If anything happens to Logan, I’ll hunt you down wherever you try to hide and gun you down," she says, moving past me.I don’t know how to handle this situation. Samantha thinks I’m responsible, and God knows what she will tell Logan’s family when they eventually hear about this. I need to find a way to contact them.I’m about to rush out of the hospital when I see Florence walking toward us. "Thank goodness," I mutter silently.I look at her and notice that her eyes are puffy; she ha

I've been spending a lot of time at the hospital, checking on Logan. It's been tiring and starting to wear me down. I've tried my best to stay strong and not let anyone notice my pregnancy, but sometimes I feel like I'm not doing a good job of hiding it.Logan's recovery has been slow because the bullet hit an important part of his arm. Most of the time, I avoid looking him in the eye because I’m afraid of what I might see. We haven’t talked much about where we stand or our agreement. I don’t know if I’m ready to let go of the contract like I said I would before the incident or if I should stay a little longer to see how things turn out between us.I keep replaying everything in my mind, trying to figure out what I want. Part of me feels like I should walk away and stick to what I planned, but another part of me isn’t so sure anymore. The way Logan looks at me sometimes makes me wonder if there’s something more between us, something worth holding on to.But then I’m scared. I'm sc

I was stunned when he asked the question, staring at him in shock. I knew I couldn't fool him; he was looking down at me, trying to gauge my reaction. But I wasn't ready to let him know about my pregnancy. I don't think we're there yet. Even though he seems to be warming up to me, I need to guard my heart.I smiled softly, trying not to give anything away. "Why did you ask? Did you see any baby pictures in your dreams?" I asked with a nervous laugh.He smiled and pulled me closer. His eyes darted around my face as if searching for something only he knew.I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, wondering if he already knew, if he could somehow sense the life growing inside me. He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear, his touch gentle. “Just curious,” he said softly, his voice laced with something I couldn’t quite read. “You seem different lately… I thought maybe there was something you weren’t telling me.”I forced myself to keep smiling, though inside, my thoughts were spin

LoganI didn't know what came over me to want to kiss Nadine. I know we aren't there yet, but I miss how her lips fit so perfectly with mine. I miss the taste of her lips on mine.I thought she wanted it, too, because I could feel her heart pounding, and her nerves were all over the place. Her eyes showed she felt the same way. But when she refused, my heart sank, and I didn’t know how to react.She’s still here, but that doesn’t mean we can go back to how we were before Samantha came into the picture. Could she be pregnant? The thought didn’t sit well with me. Based on her explanation and the terms of the contract, she wants to be pregnant so she can have the baby and leave. I wasn’t sure if I imagined it, but I thought I heard her say something like, "I and the baby want you alive." Maybe I was hallucinating.I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off. I should be happy that she’s still here, but instead, I feel this growing unease. Samantha’s presence in the house

Don’t get me wrong; I’m glad she’s making the effort to call me, even though I haven’t been doing the same. I stare at the phone, wondering if I should pick it up.She’s stuck around for so long. She came to our office for training and stayed with me even after she went back to Canada.The phone suddenly stopped ringing, and I pulled my eyes away from it, trying to gather my thoughts. The phone started ringing again.I knew I had to answer because she wouldn’t stop calling until she heard from me. So, I swiped the phone and answered the call.“Nadine,” she breathed out in relief, “you got me so worried.”I could hear the concern in her voice, and it made me feel a bit better. But my voice choked with tears as I realized how she cared for me, even though I hadn't been there for her.“Nadine, are you alright?” she asked as tears started flowing down my cheeks. I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want her to know I’d been crying and make her even more worried.“Nadine?” she c
