Prologue : Ups and downs.
Life is not really something any one can guess before it actually happens.
Life sometimes throw things we could not catch up with. It'd happen. With every one. For everyone.
Imagine a giant wheel, and Alexandra was at the very top of it and Logan was somewhere in the middle.
And then it happened. Someone said, spin. The switch was started.
It started to spin and spin and spin. Round and round and round and round.
Head spinning, stomach twisting, they both came to a stop.

One day... He wanted to look down. Not at people, but at the world.

"You will do. Go on, impress me." Logan smiled at him. This here was his first opportunity and he wanted to put everything he have in it.
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me yet. Thank me when I am completely amazed by what you did for me. I am only paying you if I am satisfied with the house, young man."
"Yes sir."
