All Chapters of Divorce Countdown: She's Suddenly Falling For Me?: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

But when the words reached her lips, Vivian couldn't say a thing.Logan, seeing she still hadn't left, lowered his voice, cold and sharp. "If you're planning on causing a scene here, then I guess I'll be the one asking the hotel staff to throw you out this time."At the front desk, a few staff members glanced up warily, their eyes fixed on Vivian, ready to step in if she started to escalate things.Vivian knew full well—no matter how she spun it, she was in the wrong this time. Her fists clenched, her pride burning, and without a word, she turned on her heel and walked away.Only after she was gone did Logan finally allow himself to relax. When he turned around, he saw his mother standing not far off, near the elevators, her expression tight with worry.He hadn't realized she'd witnessed that entire confrontation.He quickened his pace instinctively and went to her side, gently supporting her arm."Let's go," he said. "The room's ready. I'll take you to the suite."His mother g

Logan replied light-heartedly, "Alright. I'll call you, don't worry."Paige finally let out a breath of relief at his response. She smiled, then turned and walked away.Only when her figure disappeared past the airport doors did Logan turn to head back.In the days that followed, he spent most of his time with his mother, taking her out to help ease her mind—a quiet effort to make up for the guilt he felt over her being kicked out of the hotel without his knowledge.At the same time, Logan called Grace twice, inquiring about the progress of the pending paperwork for his transfer to Marlon City.His mother being dragged into the mess made one thing crystal clear: continuing any entanglement with Vivian would only bring him more harm.It had been one thing when it was just him wrapped up in it all. But now even his mother had been hurt—even if Vivian hadn't meant for it to happen, even if it was someone close to her acting with ulterior motives—the damage had been done. And she cou

There was no time to explain.The two men were already closing in, itching for a fight."Run!" Logan barked in a low voice. "Don't worry about me!"But before Vivian could react, the men lunged.Logan shoved her aside, his eyes sharp with a cold, unmistakable intent to kill. He cracked his knuckles once, then surged forward before either of them could throw the first punch.The alley echoed with the thud of fists and grunts.Vivian didn't move. She stood frozen at the mouth of the alley, wide-eyed and helpless, her phone clutched tightly in her hand as she called the police.She could tell these men were different from the ones last time—not as many, but tougher, meaner.Just as she feared, one of them darted to the side and grabbed a brick from under a wall ledge, trying to sneak up on Logan.Her heart seized."Logan! Behind you!" she shouted. "He's got a brick!"Logan kicked away the man lunging at him, but by the time he turned, the other was already behind him, brick rai

Vivian had never felt anything like this before.It was as if something precious inside her was slowly draining away—something vital and irreplaceable. And no matter how tightly she tried to hold on, it slipped through her fingers all the same.Vivian left like a ghost, dazed and hollow. She nearly twisted her ankle in her three inches heels.Once inside the car, she leaned back and closed her eyes, letting the blur of passing lights outside the window flicker across her pale face.Silence.And more silence.When she finally got home, her expression was so colorless it startled the house staff.They rushed to her side, offering hot water and blankets, their faces filled with worry, murmuring questions she didn't answer.She said nothing; she just clutched the railing and climbed the stairs.On the second floor, directly across from the staircase, was Julian's room.When he first moved in, he'd refused to stay in the master bedroom she once shared with Logan—said it made his s

"Even after such a huge fuck up, it seems Julian doesn't plan to hold his cousin accountable. What kind of game is he playing?"The complaints came all at once. Everyone crowded around Julian, voices raised, fingers pointed, frustration boiling over.Julian clenched his jaw and lowered his head, silent.Vivian's eyes flickered with anger.He hadn't even realized what had happened to her last night—he had probably slept soundly without a care in the world. If it hadn't been for Logan arriving in time, she might have been raped.That was one thing.But Julian not only failed to help, he was creating more problems within the company.When it came to actual work ethic and responsiveness, Julian didn't hold a candle to Logan.Vivian pulled her thoughts back in and swept her gaze across the room, her voice cold and sharp. "That's enough. I've heard enough. I'll handle it from here. I'll do my best to bring the dismissed employees back and terminate Julian's cousin."She turned sligh
