CHAPTER 32 : Who Locked You Up.
The files on Brent's desk had been there since morning.He had gone through most of them twice, not because he needed to but because sitting still with nothing in his hands made him feel the weight of everything he was trying not to think about. A lot was going through his mind, the numbers, the projections. The quiet but steady decline that he had been watching for weeks now, week that it would turn around.But nothing had changed, It hadn't turned around, intact it even got worse since the moment he partnered with Logan. Brent leaned back in his chair and rubbed the side of his jaw, staring at the page in front of him without really reading it anymore. The office around him was quiet. Most of his staff had learned by now not to knock unless it was necessary.Suddenly, Brent's phone buzzed on the desk. He glanced at the screen, I was an unknown number.Brent took his eyes off it, totally ignoring the calm as his eyes returned to the file in front of him.He wasn't even in the mood
CHAPTER 31 : An Unexpected Visit 2
“Logan…” Vanessa called. "Let me finish," Logan said quietly and Vanessa closed her mouth."You chose Brent. Chested on me, You made that decision clearly and on your own, and that was your right. But you do not get to come back now and tell me what I feel or what I should feel.” “You left. That chapter is closed. And whatever you came here hoping to find, it is not here."Vanessa was quiet for a moment. She looked at him and for just a second something real moved across her face, something that wasn't calculation or performance.Logan saw it, but cared less. She stood up from the chair slowly. "You know what your problem is?" she said, her voice carrying a light, almost playful tone now, like she was changing tactics."You think being cold makes you powerful."She moved around the side of the desk, slowly and deliberately.But Logan didn't move, he just watched her."But I know you, Logan," she continued, her voice lower now. She reached out and ran her fingers lightly along his a
CHAPTER 30 : An Unexpected Visit 1
"Mr. Lancaster, I have Mr. Bright on line two.""Tell him I'll call him back in ten minutes," Logan said, without looking up from the document in front of him."Yes sir."The intercom clicked off and the office returned to its quiet hum. Logan sat behind his desk, his jacket hanging neatly on the back of his chair with his sleeves rolled to the elbows. The morning had been productive for Logan and the afternoon was shaping up the same way.He had spoken to Bright earlier that day and the two had agreed to meet at the office by evening to go over a few things. Until then, Logan had work to get through and he preferred it that way.Logan, prefers to visit the Apex Infinity Corporation, which was one of the most largest companies owned by the Logan family. It is an empire controlling space tech, quantum computing, and global digital networksLogan reached for his pen and signed the bottom of the page he had been reading, then set it aside and pulled the next one forward.That was whe
CHAPTER 29 : He Is Not Just Working For Them.
"Get your hands off me!" The words left Vanessa's mouth the moment the front door closed behind her, even though there was no one there to hear them.She stood there for a while before driving away and back to her apartment. She stood in the hallway of the house, her chest heaving, her handbag still gripped tightly in her hand. Her heels clicked hard against the tiled floor as she walked deeper into the house, each step sharp and deliberate, like she was trying to punish the ground beneath her feet.The house was quiet and she could tell that Brent wasn't home yet.She dropped her handbag onto the couch without looking and went straight to the water dispenser in the corner of the kitchen. She grabbed a glass from the counter, held it under the nozzle and pressed. The cold water rushed out and she drank it all in one go, then filled it again and drank half of that too.She set the glass down harder than she intended."Unbelievable," she muttered to herself. "Absolutely unbelievable
CHAPTER 28 : The Party 2
"What do you mean you don't know me? Logan, stop playing around. It's Vanessa, we were married."Hearing this, Logan looked at her for one more moment and then turned back toward Arielle as if the conversation had already ended.Vanessa's expression shifted. The uncertainty that had been on her face hardened into something else."Excuse me," she said sharply. "I am talking to you."Arielle set her glass down on a nearby surface quietly. She had known from the moment the woman walked over. The tension in Logan's shoulders, brief as it was, had told her enough. And now, looking at this woman's face, at the way she was looking at Logan like she had some kind of claim on him, Arielle felt something settle firmly inside her.She stepped forward slightly, positioning herself between Vanessa and Logan with a calm, unhurried ease."He said he doesn't know you," Arielle said, her voice pleasant but absolutely clear. "I think it would be best if you walked away."Vanessa's eyes cut to her. Sh
CHAPTER 27 : The Party 1
The car rolled to a smooth stop in front of a large, well-lit house. Even from outside, the sound of music and laughter floated through the air, and the warm glow from inside the building spilled out through the wide windows and onto the front lawn.Robert stepped out first and came around to open the back door.Logan stepped out, adjusting the collar of his jacket. He turned and offered his hand to Arielle, who took it and stepped out beside him, looking effortlessly elegant in a deep green dress that caught the light as she moved.Behind them, the two other vehicles that had followed from the mansion pulled up along the curb and Logan's guards stepped out quietly, positioning themselves without drawing attention. To anyone watching, they simply looked like part of the arriving group.Logan looked up at the house for a moment. It was a beautiful property, large and well kept, with guests moving in and out through the front entrance.Two days ago, he had visited Mr. Hargrove, an old
