Chapter 383
The room felt unbearably heavy, almost suffocating, as Charlotte’s words lingered in the air like smoke refusing to dissipate. A tense silence settled over everyone, thick enough that it felt as though the walls themselves were holding their breath. Logan, who had been standing rigidly beside her the entire time, finally lifted a hand and reached out to touch her shoulder. His gesture was careful, almost hesitant, as though he feared that even the slightest pressure might shatter her completely. It was an attempt at grounding her, an attempt to steady the storm that was raging so visibly inside her.But Charlotte flinched away from him, not violently, but with enough distance to make it clear that she was holding herself together by sheer force of will. Her chest rose and fell heavily, her breaths uneven and full of a kind of restrained fury. Her eyes—normally soft—were blazing with a mixture of anger, betrayal, and pain that she had buried for too long.“No, Logan,” she said shar

Barbara’s face drained of color.“C–Charlotte… why would you say something like that?” she stammered, her voice trembling.Charlotte took a step forward, her eyes burning with a mixture of anger and hurt—hurt so deep that it seemed to shake her entire being. “Why?” she repeated. “Because it is the truth. The truth you all hid from me. Did you think I would never find out? That I would remain blind forever?”Her voice echoed through the living room.Logan stood slightly behind her, his hand on her shoulder—not restraining, not guiding, simply supporting. His jaw was clenched hard from all the insults he had endured the moment they had walked into the house. They had blamed him, mocked him, called him things he didn’t deserve. But through it all, he had stood silent for Charlotte’s sake.Now… the house had turned into a storm.“You all heard what I said,” Charlotte continued, scanning each stunned face. “You asked how I know? You asked who told me? But shouldn’t the real question be w

Logan’s chest heaved as he shut the car door behind him, his hands still trembling slightly from the adrenaline coursing through his veins. Every nerve in his body felt alive, taut with the aftermath of the harrowing events that had led them here. Beside him, Charlotte, though exhausted and bruised from the ordeal, held her head high, her eyes glimmering with relief and the faintest trace of gratitude. For Logan, seeing her safe was all that mattered. Nothing else—no words, no accusations—could overshadow that moment.The drive home had been quiet, the kind of silence that carried the weight of everything unsaid. Charlotte had not spoken much, save for small, measured breaths, her gaze fixed outside the window. Logan had kept his focus on the road, aware of her fragility yet unwilling to let his guard down. Every corner could have brought danger, every unexpected movement could have reignited the tension from earlier. But now, finally, they had arrived.They had barely stepped into th

Sophia sat in the living room, her fingers nervously tapping against the armrest of the sofa. Her mind was still buzzing with the events of the international conference. She had tried so hard, had done her best, and yet, despite her effort, she had failed to secure the top spot. Even with her mother, Ava, by her side guiding her and offering connections, the outcome had not been favorable. The weight of disappointment pressed down on her chest, making it hard to breathe.Ava noticed her daughter’s demeanor. She had been quiet for a few minutes, watching Sophia pace the floor, her expression a mixture of frustration, confusion, and disbelief. The older woman had experienced such moments in life before and knew that they often carried the seeds of bigger lessons. She decided it was time to speak.“Sophia,” Ava said gently, drawing her daughter’s attention. “Sit down. There’s something I want to discuss with you.”Sophia sank back into the sofa, folding her arms. Her eyes, however, remai

Damien staggered, clutching at his chest, his surprise quickly turning to fury. “Logan! You can’t—she’s mine! You’ll regret—”But Logan didn’t give him the chance to finish. He slammed Damien to the floor, his weight pinning him down with merciless strength. Every fiber of Logan’s being screamed for vengeance, his movements precise, efficient, and fueled by the injustice of what Damien had tried to do.Charlotte, still trembling on the edge of the bed, watched as Logan moved with an almost supernatural intensity. She felt the rush of relief flood her veins, her heart swelling with gratitude and awe. Logan was not just protecting her; he was exacting justice for all the terror Damien had tried to inflict.Damien, realizing the gravity of the situation, tried to push Logan off him, but it was futile. Logan’s grip was iron, his every motion calculated to subdue, not simply strike. “I warned you,” Logan growled, his voice low and lethal. “You touch her, and you’ll pay with more than your
Chapter 378
A heavy silence settled in the living room after Ava revealed the name. Logan Stone. The name lingered between them like a delicate thread Charlotte wasn’t sure she wanted to pick up. She looked down at the photograph again, her fingers tracing the outline of the young man’s face.Logan.He seemed confident. Polished. Sharp, even in a still image. But Charlotte wasn’t the type to be swayed by appearances—not anymore. Not after everything she had already faced.She looped a strand of hair behind her ear and exhaled.“So… Logan Stone is the person you think can actually help me?” she asked, still fighting to keep her skepticism intact.Ava nodded.“Yes. I wouldn’t have mentioned him otherwise. He’s persistent, he’s capable, and unlike Maxwell, he doesn’t run at the slightest inconvenience. He stands by his word.”A small, reluctant spark of curiosity flickered inside Charlotte, though she tried to suppress it.“And what exactly does he do?” she asked.Ava smiled faintly.“He owns a cons
