A wealthy businessman encounters a beggar with two children and realizes he knows her. His response stuns everyone around

Logan Bennett, a ruthless millionaire, was crossing a busy street corner when something caught his attention. A woman, dressed in dirty, worn clothes with disheveled hair, was sitting on the sidewalk.

Her face was tired and marked by suffering. Beside her, two little girls, twins about four years old, wore tattered clothes. One of them was quietly crying, rubbing her eyes with small, dirty hands.

Sweetheart, it’s okay. Someone will help us soon, the woman murmured, stroking the child’s hair with a trembling voice full of desperate love. Logan felt a pang in his chest.

He knew that face, even through the dirt and pain. It couldn’t be, but it was. Olivia Carter, the love of his youth, the girl he used to admire from afar.

She had never noticed him in school, except to mock his awkward attempts to get her attention. Now she was here, vulnerable and helpless. Logan approached slowly, his heart racing.

Olivia, he called hesitantly. The woman slowly lifted her head, her eyes widening as she recognized the voice. Logan? For a moment, neither of them spoke.

The silence between them was heavy with painful memories. Then Olivia lowered her gaze, as if wishing to disappear. What happened to you? He asked, unable to hide his concern.

Olivia looked away, clutching the girls even tighter. It doesn’t matter. We’re fine.

Go away, Logan. But Logan couldn’t ignore what he saw. One of the girls was sobbing from hunger, while the other clung to her mother’s arm, staring at him with wide, frightened eyes.

The pain and despair of the scene hit him like a blow. You’re not fine. Come with me.

I’ll help you. No, I can’t, Olivia began to protest. I’m not leaving you and your daughters out here in the cold.

You’re coming with me, and I won’t take no for an answer. The girls looked at him, curious yet cautious. The one who had been crying pressed her lips together, holding back her tears.

Olivia hesitated, but Logan’s determined gaze made her relent. She knew she had no other choice. Logan pulled out his phone and called his driver.

Be here in five minutes, he said before putting the phone away. Let’s go. There’s no reason for you to stay here.

He extended his hand to Olivia, who reluctantly took it. When the car arrived, Logan helped Olivia get in, carrying one of the girls while she held the other. The children were exhausted, their faces resting on their mother’s shoulders.

During the ride to Logan’s mansion, the silence was oppressive. Olivia stared out the window, lost in thought. Logan glanced at her occasionally, trying to understand how her life had fallen apart.

When they arrived, Olivia looked visibly uncomfortable. The grand mansion, with its warm lights and immaculate garden, seemed like another world. You don’t have to do this, Logan.

We can. No more arguing, Olivia. You’ll come inside, eat something, and rest…
