LOGANUnlike other businessmen, I never accepted defeat no matter how impossible a goal seemed.That’s why I employed private investigators and fixers to get me into the inner circles of the billionaires I targeted to invest in my countless projects. I always made it seem like our meeting was fated and then, I swooped in and bagged them.This time, the big fish I was planning to score was a bloody rich woman who came from old money and had never worked a day in her life, yet her source of income never ran dry.She was hard to bump into, so the second I got word from a private investigator that he got me entry into a charity event under her foundation, I dropped everything and got ready to leave. I checked Ashley’s office first to see if she was available to accompany me but she was out on business so I was stuck with Scarlett’s overbearing ass.When I informed her that we’d be attending a charity event for disabled and underprivileged children, I was strangely taken aback that she qui

SCARLETTMy hands were ruffling through my tangled curls and struggling to pull them into a bun for work when I heard my phone ping with a notification.Thinking that it was a text about the package I’d been waiting on for a week, I hurried to grab my phone off my bed. Only for my smile to fall when I saw that the text was from the worst person possible.Logan.Couldn't he wait a few more minutes until I was at work to ruin my day? I murmured to myself as I unlocked my phone.Logan: take the day off to get ready for the all-white party tonight. I’ll work from home.I blinked thrice. Then four more times before reading the text a second and third time to be sure I hadn't imagined the words. When I confirmed that they were real, I grabbed my pillow and screamed excitedly into it.I didn't dare question it, only the gods knew why Logan’s behavior was as questionable and unpredictable as it was, but I wasn't about to bug myself with the specifics when it was finally working in my favor.I

LOGANThis was the perfect time to ask her, no doubt.I refused to overthink it, I went right to it as soon as the thought popped into my head. I’d put off asking about it for long enough just because I didn't want to come off as desperate.“As soon as we get to the office, I expect you to forward Mrs. Walsh’s personal contact details to me,” I ended up demanding instead of asking like I’d planned to.An unamused chuckle left her lips and then she adjusted her seatbelt so she could turn to fully face me. “If you're going to ask for the one thing no businessman has ever laid hands on that I happened to bag with ease, you should ask nicely.”The smug tone she chose made a nerve twitch in my temple, I could feel my annoyance rising to the brim. It was far too easy for her to get under my skin these days, I needed to fix that.“You work for me, for fuck’s sake. You should've sent that information to me the second you learned that it was nearly impossible to find because whatever fattens t

LOGAN“Do you understand what I need?” I asked Silas, my most trusted private investigator who was on the other end of the call.“Absolutely boss, I’m adding a trusted contact to the call now who’ll put you through what’s required of you,” he said just before I heard the beep that indicated that someone else had been added to the call.Just as Silas’s contact greeted me, my office door was pushed open, and a frowning Ashley walked in. She didn't give me her usual smile that brightened my day, instead, she refused to meet my eyes and headed to the couch in the corner of my office and plopped down on it.I could easily tell that she was upset, so as important as the call was, I knew I had to get off and find out who’d ruined my sweet Ashley’s mood.“Can we reschedule this call for the next ten minutes? An emergency just came up and I need to attend to it immediately,” I rushed out.“Ten minutes, no more,” came Silas’s contact’s impatient reply before the line went dead.I disregarded th

SCARLETTI felt a presence overshadowing me, so heavily that it was impossible to ignore it and enjoy my sleep.When my wolf didn't stop bugging me to open my eyes, I finally hissed and opened them, only to be startled by the glinting eyes in the dark that were above me. Fear gripped me and I felt my entire body grow cold as I clutched my duvet like it could save me.A second later, the moon shone into my room, and the face of the person hovering above me was revealed.Logan.On instinct, I opened my mouth to scream but his huge palm pressed down on my lips and muffled the sound such that I could barely hear it. And if it was barely audible to me, no one in the house could hear and come to my aid.My entire body started to tremble on realizing that I was at Logan’s mercy, and from experience, that was the worst possible place I could be stuck in. Frantic at the thought of what he intended to do with me, I started to kick my feet and wiggle my body to get away from him but he easily ke
