“What is it?” Logan lowered the towebfrom his head and took the gift box from Hope. He was clearly surprised, not anticipated that he would actually recieve a gift.

of cour “Your birthday present, of course,” Hope replied and took the towel from him. “You can check it. Hopefully you like it.”

“Well, anything | receive from you is lovely,” Logan said and sat on the chaise to open it. He unboxed the big and found a mini album inside it with another tiny box beside it. He picked it up first and opened it.

“A bracelet!” Logan took it out and saw his and Hope’s names initials were carved on it. He put it on his left wrist and lifted his hand. “How does it look?” he inquired from her.

“Beautiful,” Hope answered. “| had my savings saved from my previous part time job and | bought this,” she stated. “I know it’s not expensive enough given the fact that you have so many and | bous items with you,” she murmured, feeling a bit emberrace “What's the use of those luxurious items if they can’t give me happiness?” Logan pulled her down, making her sit beside him.

“I'm going to keep wearing it. You bought something from your hard earned money for me,” he said.

Hope smiled at him and told him to check the mini-album too. She worked on it for weeks.

Logan’s heart fluttered seeing how much efforts Hope had put in preparing gifts for him. He opened it and the first thing he saw his sleeping picture. He looked at the other pictures too and asked Hope when she took them all.

“You have even written the feelings of yours,” Logan murmured as he began reading them.

[At first, | hated you, but... | am not able to give you hate. You saved me from an abusive family.]

[Waking up beside you and looking at your sleeping face make me realize, I’ve a family. now.]

[The first trophy as the best couple we won made me confident that I’m destined to you.]

Logan kept on reading all those messages that she had written beside every picture she had pasted in that mini-album. It was truly a unique present he had ever received in his life. All the feelings Hope had for him were there.

“Thank you for this,” Logan said with a genuine and warm smile.

10:48 Fri, 1 Mar “Did you like it?” Hope asked:

“A lot. It’s tough to explain what | feelow. But it's deeper than love,” Logan said. “Thanks for loving me, Hope, And I’m sorry for treating you so badly in the initial days.

“Let's go downstairs. Aunt Camila asked about you when | was preparing for the breakfast,” Hope said as she stood up along with him. He followed her downstairs, where all the servants along with Madam Camila wished Logan on his birthday.

Asmile carved on his lips as they gave him a combined gift. “From all the house servants, we have this small present for Master Logan,” Madam Camila said with a smile.

Logan accepted the gift box from her and thanked all of them for their wishes and blessings. He felt refusing for it might upset them.

“Open it,” Hope said in excitement.

“Yes, Master should open it,” the female servants said in enthusiasm.

“Alright.” Logan checked what the gift was. He found a diary, a coffee mug and a fountain pen inside the gifted box. “You all didn’t have to buy such an expensive gift for me,” he said as he knew the brand from which all those items belonged.

“It's our first time giving a birthday gift to Master Logan. So, we could at least spend for him,” Madam Camila pronounced.

“Logan loves to write after dinner and before going to dinner. You all truly give him such a magnificent gift,” Hope said and clapped in happiness.

Suddenly, the phone began ringing and Madam Camila quickly picked up the landline. “It’s from the Elder Master,” she informed Logan, who nodded and took the phone.

from her.

“Grandpa, thanks for the wishes. Of course, I’ve not forgotten about the charity event. I'll come home with Hope. Don’t worry about it.” Logan hung up the call after communicating with his grandfather.

Suddenly, Paul and Violet entered the house while singing happy birthday song Logan. Hope and all the house servants too joined them while Paul was carrying the cake in his hand.

for Logan couldn't believe that they all planned so many surprises for him.

“Make a wish, Bro and then blow the candles off,” Paul said excitedly.

“Close your eyes,” Violet pointed out.

10:48 Fri, 1 Mar 98 Logan hummed to himself, glancing at Hope, whose smile illuminated the room like a morning star. She radiated joy and warmth, filling him with a sense of gratitude and contentment. Closing his eyes, he offered a silent prayer in his mind.

‘If God exists, please grant—me a full life with Hope and all those who care for me. | pray that Hope always remains happy, Logan prayed, his thoughts filled with love and devotion for his wife.

Even in his prayers, Hope remained at the forefront of his thoughts, a testament to the depth of his love for her. Opening his eyes, Logan blew out the candles on his birthday cake, and the room crupted into applause, celebrating another year of his life.

surrounded by loved ones.

Logan took a small piece of cake and gently fed it to Hope, their shared laughter filling the room. In return, Hope playfully brushed a bit of cream onto Logan’s cheeks and nose, causing him to protest lightly.

“Hope, that’s very naughty,” Logan chided with a grin, watching her giggling face with affection.

“My turn,” Paul declared, stepping forward and feeding Logan a piece of cake. He hugged his friend tightly and spoke from the heart, “Keep smiling, my friend. Just stay blessed.”

The warmth of friendship and love enveloped Logan as he smiled gratefully at Paul, touched by his words and the bond they shared. As he pulled away, Violet stepped forward, feeding him cake and embracing him tightly.

“lam so happy for you, Logan. You are finally leading a happy life. Just stay like this,” Violet expressed sincerely before withdrawing from the hug.

“Thank you, Violet, Logan replied warmly, his gaze drifting to Hope, who had begun distributing slices of cake to everyone present.

With a heart full of gratitude and love, Logan savored the moment, surrounded by those who cared for him and embraced the happiness he had found in his life.

10:48 Fri, 1 Mar Chapter 88 In the graveyard:

Logan and Hope exited the car as they arrived in the graveyard. Holding his wife’s hand, Logan led her way to the graveyard, where his parents rested in peace.

They finally stopped when Logan let go of her hand and looked at two big graveyards. of his parents, where their photos carved on them. He placed the flowers above the stone and bowed to his parents.

“| got married two months ago. This is my wife Hope Ravenclaw Moore,” he said as he introduced her to his late parents. Hope had the bouquet of white roses in her hands. and she placed them above the stone.

“| pray you both rest in peace and stay happy wherever you are,” Hope stated as she bowed her head. She was on her knees and touched the stone, feeling somewhat lighter. Her eyes followed the pictures of his parents.

“And it’s Logan’s birthday too. I’m glad this time he is ready to celebrate it with me. | will make sure he always stays happy,”

Hope said.

Logan got on his knees as he kissed her cheek. As he settled on the floor, he continued, “I’ve been here by myself all this time.

You are the first person whom | brought here.

with me.”

Hope’s heart felt contented to hear that statement. “Not even Olivia?” she asked.

“Yeah. Not even her. It was something very personal to me, so | visited it alone. Now, | shared it with you,” Logan pronounced and looked back at the graveyard. They remained there for an hour when Logan took Hope to the other side of the graveyard.

Hope wondered if he was taking her to Olivia’s resting place, but to her surprise, it was her parents’ graveyard. Tears emerged in her eyes as she got on her knees and touched. the top stone. Clifton had arrived there with two flower bouquets, which he handed to Logan.

Logan handed one bouquet to Hope while the other he placed at the front of the stone. He returned to his place and did a silent pray for them. He sensed that Hope had turned emotional, but he didn’t calm her down. It was a way of her to pay tribute to her parents.

Finally, Logan got down and placed his hand on Hope’s shoulder. “They must be happy to see their daughter has grown up into such a beautiful lady,” he said.

“Yeah. This is my husband, Mom-—Dad, Logan Moore,” she pronounced and put a faint smile on her lips. “Sorry, for never visiting you. There are a lot of things, | want to talk 48 Fri, Chapter 88 to you about. But I’m unable to understand from where to start. Perhaps | don’t wish to disturb your safe and calm place.” She thanked Logan for bringing her there.

“Did you inquire about my father... | mean, my uncle?” she hesitated briefly before correcting herself.

“Yes, it’s comforting knowing they rest in such a serene place,” he affirmed as a gentle breeze swept through. “Do you think they heard us?” he glanced towards the towering tree nearby, standing sentinel over the graveyard.

“| believe so,” Hope responded softly.

After spending a moment in reflection, they departed the site and entered the car, “Why does Clifton have to be here? You never allow him a moment of peace,” Hope grumbled to him.

“He insisted me to let him follow us. He is worried about your safety more than mine,” Logan said.

“Why?” Hope got puzzled.

“Did he not tell you?” Logan asked her while arching his eyebrows.

“Tell me what?”

“That you resemble his late sister, Logan answered.

“No, he never told me that,” Hope said as she looked out of the window. “Why did all the nice people have to lose their loved ones?” She muttered.

“That’s a difficult question,” Logan admitted. “After you were attacked by Alaric and the woman with him, likely his wife, Clifton has been tirelessly searching for their whereabouts. Your mother left this pendant for you as a protective measure, imbued with powerful spells to safeguard you.” He wondered if it was because of the prophecy. But the witches might have not tried to kill her that foolishly.

“Hmm.” Hope touched it and continued, “I wonder why that woman asked Alaric to kill me.” It was a scary experience for her. She lowered her hand and placed it on her lap.

“We'll uncover the answers soon,” he assured, starting the engine before driving towards their family home.

Daniel looked at his face in the mirror when he heard a knock on the door. Lucas was at the door dressed in a formal suit. “Are you ready?” he asked.

“Yep. Daniel picked up his phone and wallet, ready to go ahead. Though, he had not 10:48 Fri, 1 Mar intention to attend this charity event by the Moore Family on Logan’s birthday, but he couldn’t remain absent from it, given the fact that his family was invited specially in this.

They headed to second car since in the first one, their father was seated. The gates opened and the drivers began driving.

Lucas was on his phone, texting someone related to the work. As he put glanced at his younger brother, who didn’t look happy.

it away, he “Mind telling me what happened?” Lucas asked his younger brother. “Are you worried to encounter Hope?” He arched his eyebrow at him.

Daniel snickered to hear his older brother’s comment. “Hope doesn’t scare me.”

“Why did you cheat on her? What was the reason behind that? Also, wasn’t she your mate?” Lucas too many questions annoyed him, but he didn’t show it to him.

“She was, but | marked Karla. Hope was nothing in front of her stepsister,” he replied, giving him the truth.

“That means Hope is now much better than Karla,” Lucas remarked.

“Yeah. Logan has changed her completely. But | don’t like her anymore,” Daniel murmured.

“Don't play with any woman’s heart like this. You don’t know when the Karma returns to you in the most brutal possible way,”

Lucas suggested to him.

int “Is my brother taunting me for letting Hope go? She had nothing in her. Despite she was my mate, | didn’t find anything special in her, Daniel muttered.

“What about Karla? You even asked her not to show her face to you. | know you have marked her. Did you take off that mark?”

Lucas inquired.

“She committed a foolish mistake and planned to kill Hope. Karla is already thrown out of the pack and | couldn't be with her.

About the mark, | already did that,” Daniel explained to him.

“My brother has become evil. | hope he doesn’t walk on this kind of path,” Lucas again reminded him.

“What good has come from staying good? You again started giving lectures to me,” Daniel murmured and looked out of the window.

“At least you won't live in guilt,” Lucas stated. “Well, just try to be a good man from now onwards,” he opined.

10:48 Fri, 1 Mar Chapter 88 “Mom was too good for this world and she left too early. | will do what my mind will say to me. | don’t want to fall weak because of my heart,” Daniel muttered and reclined his head on the head rest.
