Third POV
Rain fell from the grey sky, providing relief to the parched earth. The water splashed as the Range Rover skidded to a halt in front of Watson Mansion. Logan rushed out of the car, ignoring the crisp air and the pelting raindrops because his heart was aflame with an unknown fire. Karolia Kingston sparked a fire in Logan Watson.
“Karolia!” Logan yelled as soon as his feet touched the living room's marble floor. He knew she wouldn't be at home, but what if she was playing with him? he wondered. His deep voice, which kept calling her name, echoed throughout the large house. The sound of footsteps awoke in him a se

Logan’s POV: I stare at the worn-out wooden door in front of me, its edges cracked and rusted. The birds circled in the air, breaking the silence of this desolate landscape. Rosche's rail yard was closed down in 2013 due to a construction flaw, which resulted in several injuries and deaths. Since then, no one has bothered to rebuild the site, and it is now the main area where some unlicensed activities take place. Tightly gripping my suitcase, I took a step back and kicked the door repeatedly until it finally gave way, landing with a loud thud on the ground. As I stepped on the fallen door and entered the house, dust particles flew all around me. The narrow passage was dark, with an obnoxious odor and burned cigarettes littering the filthy floor. Before someone came into view, I heard footsteps echoing through the crumbling walls. The person appeared surprised to see me, and he checked his phone before looking at me for a second as if
A Perfect Distraction 23. Arouse
Have you ever had the sensation of being hit on the head with various types of hammers? Right now, I'm experiencing that sensation, and let me tell you, it's like walking barefoot on a chunk of burning coal. As the hammering became louder, I moaned in agony and clutched my left ear. When the pain subsided, I slowly opened my eyes to the blinding white light. I blinked a few times and squeezed my eyes shut. I reopened them and took a look around. I was in a strange white room. A long horizontal blind hung over my head on the wall to my right. There was an obnoxious beeping sound nearby, and my hands were all twisted up with tubes. I guess I didn't die. By the way, what day is it? “Pssst...Hey,” I frowned, perplexed when I heard an unfamiliar voice from somewhere. “Over here, to your left,” said the same unidentified voice. I slowly turned my head to the left, where I saw a bed similar to mine and a man sitting on it with a fractured arm and ba
A Perfect Distraction 24. Sweet and Bitter
"Attack" "Attack" "Attack" " As I ran through the streets of New York, five men, two wearing masks and three holding bombs, chased after me, chanting the word "Attack." Hot tears streamed from my eyes, and the white sundress I was wearing was soaked in my blood, almost making the fabric appear to be dyed red. I tripped over a stone and lost my footing, landing with a loud thud on the ground. I looked helplessly back to those men standing a foot away, unable to get back on my feet in time. I closed my eyes as one of them pulled out their pistol and prepared to shoot me. I couldn't feel anything despite hearing the sound of a gunshot. There is no discomfort. My eyes opened to see a woman dead on the ground in front of me, blood trickling down from the wound in her chest caused by the bullet. I sobbed loudly while clutching the motionless figure in my trembling hands. Grecia was the one who took the bullet for me.

A/N: A lot to take in in this chapter about Logan's past, so read leisurely. “When I was younger, everyone said I was a carbon copy of my father, both in appearance and size. My memories of him are hazy at best. But I'll never forget his proud smile when I came home with a trophy I won in a school game” a soft smile played on his lips, making me smile as well. We were sitting on a white bench on the patio, which was decorated with various plant varieties. The rain has stopped for an hour, but the sky remains grey and dull, much like our mood. Logan fiddled with his coffee cup as he reflected on his experiences. “Father founded Watson Enterprise, but it was not as large as it is now. When my father died in an accident when I was ten, we had to hand over the company to Gregory, my mother's brother, who was already running a manufacturing business. But, seeing my mother's helplessness and vulnerability in the aftermath of my fathe
A Perfect Distraction 26. Friends
As the diced potatoes boiled in a saucepan, the steak sizzled in the skillet. I watch Logan as he cuts up the carrots with ease while laughing. “Seriously? “No way,” he laughed, his shoulders trembling. While he laughs, the skin around his eyes wrinkles. I nod my head, munching on a carrot while sitting on top of the kitchen counter, where he is preparing our dinner. Logan said he'd cook today's dinner after our moment on the patio, and here we are. “Yes, seriously,” I replied, laughing along with him. “For a week, no matter how hard I scrubbed, the blue paint refused to leave my body. Everyone at school made fun of me by calling me a Smurf.” He threw his head back and laughed loudly. “But I bet you were a cute Smurf,” he said as he tapped the tip of my nose, and I blushed lightly before rolling my eyes as he laughed again. We were now playing a 20-question round, and he asked about the most embarrassing moments in mylife. Despite the fact that

“Ahem… I apologize for the interruption.” When we heard Grecia's familiar voice, we pushed each other away as if we were going to burn each other and stared at the person in front of us with widened eyes. My heart was still pounding against my ribs, but it was now much faster. This sensation of being caught doing something heinous (not like being caught stealing a cookie) is new to me, and it is not pleasant. I fixed my gaze on Grecia as if I'd seen a ghost. As I stared at her unreadable face, my voice became stuck in my throat. Her hair was pulled back into a messy bun and she was dressed in a knee-length petal pink summer dress and matching heels. Logan's face appeared nonchalant as usual, but the fact that he is speechless indicates that he is also in shock. “Grecia, W-What a shock. It's great to see you again.” As I stuttered, I mentally slapped myself. I stood there awkwardly as she alternated her gaze between me and Logan. “Well, the surprise is on me,”
A Perfect Distraction 28. Watson Enterprise
I dragged myself to the kitchen, sluggishly. I took a carton of milk from the refrigerator and poured it into a glass. After that, I sat on the barstool in front of the countertop table. My thoughts wandered to the morning event as I stared at the milk. I haven't heard from Logan in several hours. No matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't figure out what I did wrong to make him angry at me. All we did last night was cuddle, which was not to my liking, but I didn't mind either. I even texted Logan several times, asking what was going on, but I received no response, despite the fact that he saw all six of my messages. I sighed and gulped down the glass of milk. My phone began to vibrate in my pocket. When I took it out, my heart rate increased as I realized it was a message from Logan. He has finally decided to speak up! 'We have to talk. It's important.' What? Nervousness and fear infiltrated my body. I'm not sure what's going on, but my gut t
A Perfect Distraction 29. Haunting Memories
Logan said, "Sit down," and walked to his black leather office chair. He shook off his black coat suit and hung it on the chair's back. He's dressed in a crisp white shirt, a black skinny tie, and tight-fitting suit pants. He rolled his sleeves up to his elbows before approaching the bar. I sat in a chair, nervously fiddling with my fingers. Logan poured himself a drink and turned around to face me. I sucked in a breath because they were so intense. “So,Miss Kingston. What’s your next plan?” With a cold undertone in his voice, he inquired. My brow furrowed in bewilderment. Next plan? What plan? “What exactly do you mean?” I inquired. While staring at me, he chuckled darkly and rubbed his thumb along his bottom lip. In any other situation, his action would have turned me on, but now he just looks menacing. When he slammed the glass on the counter, the alcohol spilled out, I jumped a little. “Stop pretending to be innocent.” He s
