Chapter 31: Why are you helping me

Aurora’s POVI looked at him for a moment after he finished speaking, still trying to understand the man standing in front of me because every time I thought I had finally figured him out, he showed me another side that made everything more complicated than before. A few minutes ago, I had been convinced that Logan was nothing more than a man consumed by anger and revenge, but now I was seeing the pain behind it, the reason he had built walls around himself so high that nobody could reach him.And maybe that was why the next words that left my mouth surprised even me. “That’s even more reason why you need to help her.” The moment I said it, Logan lifted his head to look at me, his expression changing into something between disbelief and confusion, like he was genuinely questioning if he had heard me correctly.For a second, he just stared.“Help her?” he repeated slowly, and there was something almost ridiculous about the way he said it because the idea sounded so impossible to him. “

Chapter 32: Did he promise

Aurora’s POV After everything that happened that night, I found myself thinking about one thing more than anything else. My brother. It was strange because I had spent so much time trying not to think about him. Every memory connected to him carried too much anger, too much disappointment, and too many things I wished I could erase. I had convinced myself that whatever happened between him and Logan was something I had already accepted, something I had buried deep enough that it no longer mattered. But hearing Logan say it himself brought everything back. I killed your brother. The calmness in his voice when he said it bothered me more than the confession itself because Logan had always been someone who looked like he could make the hardest decisions without feeling anything. He could stand there and talk about someone’s life ending like he was simply discussing business. Yet somehow, after everything I had seen, I couldn’t fully believe that was all there was to him. The man

Chapter 33: maybe

Aurora’s POVAfter my conversation with Logan that night, I expected things between us to become awkward.I didn’t know why I thought that because nothing about Logan was ever simple enough to be awkward. He was the kind of person who could say something that changed the way I saw him and then return to his usual expression the next morning as if he hadn’t just allowed me to see a part of himself he probably kept hidden from everyone.And that was exactly what happened.The next day, Logan acted like Logan.He sat at breakfast with the same calm expression, reading through messages on his phone while drinking his coffee like the conversation we had the previous night had never happened.I watched him from across the table, waiting for some sign that he regretted opening up to me, but there was nothing.No hesitation.No avoidance.Nothing.It annoyed me more than it should have.“You’re staring,” he said without looking up.I immediately looked away.“I’m not.”His eyes lifted from hi

Chapter 34: I couldn't sleep

Aurora’s POVI spent the rest of the night thinking about the way Logan had answered me.It wasn’t the word itself that stayed in my mind because anyone could say they were worried about someone. It was the fact that Logan had said it without hesitation, without trying to hide behind his usual cold expression or pretending that caring about someone was a weakness he refused to show.For someone like him, admitting concern was almost like admitting vulnerability.And Logan hated being vulnerable.That was something I had learned about him.He could face enemies, threats, and people who wanted to destroy him without showing even a hint of fear, but the moment something involved his feelings, he became someone completely different. He would build walls, change the subject, or act like he didn’t care.Except now, he wasn’t doing that with me.And that was the part I didn’t know how to deal with.The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual and found myself staring at the ceiling, rememb

Chapter 35: Different

Logan’s POV I never expected myself to agree to help Marissa. For years, I had made sure every interaction between us remained controlled and limited. I knew how dangerous she was, not because of what she could physically do, but because of how easily she could manipulate people into believing the version of herself she created. She had spent years building an image that made everyone see her as elegant, harmless, and trustworthy, while I knew there was something far darker hidden beneath it. But this time was different. The situation was no longer only about her. It involved things that could affect the company, my family name, and the people connected to me. I knew exactly what I was doing when I agreed. I wasn’t forgiving her. I wasn’t forgetting. I was simply stepping closer to the enemy because sometimes the only way to understand someone’s weakness was to stand close enough to see where they protected themselves. Aurora knew enough to understand that. She ha

Chapter 36: Because this was Logan

Aurora's POV I still couldn’t believe what had happened.Even after we left the dinner, even after Logan carried me out of the room like I weighed nothing, even after the car ride where he spent the entire time pretending that he hadn’t caused a scene in front of everyone, I was still trying to understand what exactly had happened.Because this was Logan.The same Logan who always acted like emotions were unnecessary.The same Logan who could sit in a room full of people and make everyone nervous without even trying.Yet tonight, he had abandoned a political dinner because he didn’t like the way people were looking at me.And the funniest part was that he still refused to admit it.When we arrived at the hotel, I followed him inside while trying not to smile because I knew if I did, he would immediately notice.And the last thing I needed was Logan realizing how entertaining I found his reaction.The room was already prepared by the time we entered, and I immediately noticed the bag

Chapter 37: Me

Aurora’s POVThe silence after our argument wasn’t uncomfortable.That was the strange part.A few months ago, silence with Logan had always felt like a warning. It felt like the moment before he said something that would remind me exactly who he was and exactly how powerless I was against him.But now it was different.Now, sitting across from him in the hotel room, I wasn’t wondering when he would lose his patience.I was wondering what he was thinking.And that alone annoyed me.Because when did I start caring about what was going on inside Logan’s head?I looked away from him and focused on the clothes his assistant had brought. The entire situation was ridiculous. We had left a political dinner, ended up in a hotel room, argued about a dress, and somehow the argument had turned into a conversation about how I treated everyone else differently from how I treated him.And the worst part was that he wasn’t wrong.I could fight Logan.I could challenge him.I could tell him exactly w

Chapter 38: He heard everything

Aurora’s POVI should have known the moment Diva asked to speak with me privately that whatever she wanted to say wasn’t going to be something harmless.People like her didn’t look for privacy because they wanted honesty. They wanted privacy because they believed it gave them permission to say things they would never dare say in front of Logan. They wanted a place where they could remove the mask they wore so carefully and show the person they truly were without worrying about consequences.And maybe that was why I wasn’t surprised when I walked into the sitting room and saw her waiting.She was sitting comfortably on the sofa, one leg crossed over the other, looking completely relaxed as if she had invited me there for a friendly conversation instead of the obvious tension between us.The moment her eyes landed on me, a small smile appeared on her face.A fake one.The same smile she always wore whenever Logan was around.Except this time, he wasn’t.“Close the door,” she said.I loo

Chapter 39: Scared me more

Logan’s POVI had always believed I was a person who could control every situation.That was how I survived.That was how I became who I was.I learned early that emotions made people careless, and careless people made mistakes. The moment someone allowed their feelings to guide their actions, they became predictable, and I had built my entire life around never being predictable.But standing there, holding Diva’s wrist before she could touch Aurora, I realized something that bothered me.I hadn’t thought.I hadn’t calculated.I hadn’t even considered the consequences.My body had moved before my mind caught up.And that was something I hated.Because it meant Aurora had become someone who could make me react without permission.Diva stared at me with wide eyes, clearly shocked that I was standing between her and Aurora.“Logan…”Her voice carried disbelief.Maybe because she expected me to defend her.Maybe because she still believed she knew me.But the truth was, she didn’t.Not an

Chapter 40: The beginning

Aurora’s POVI did not expect Logan to agree to Marissa.Not after everything that had happened between them, not after the way his expression tightened every time her name came up, not after the cold silence he usually carried whenever anything about her campaign was mentioned in passing. So when I heard him speaking in his office that morning, I stopped without even realizing I had slowed down, my hand still hovering near the door as though I was debating whether I had the right to listen at all.His voice was calm, controlled, the kind of calm that usually meant he had already made a decision and was only allowing the rest of the world to catch up to him.“I’ll support the structure of her campaign,” Logan said, and there was a brief pause before his assistant responded.“Sir, full involvement or advisory?”“Neither,” he answered immediately, as though the idea itself was already inconvenient. “Just enough to stabilize what she’s trying to build.”I frowned slightly outside the doo
