GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD Chapter 1
Third Point Of View"Holy Heavens!!!” A loud scream escaped Sophia Rive's lips, and her eyes widened as if they were going to fall out of their sockets. Her heart galloped inside her chest. What she just saw was enough to throw her off the cliff!! “Who the hell are you?” She asked, her face pale with bewilderment. She almost stuttered as she spoke because her brain stopped processing her words.“What are you doing here!” she yelled.She ran her fingers through her hair, shaking it profusely as if she were about to go mad. All she needed was a fucking explanation about the disaster that was in front of her. Her loud scream woke Logan up, and he slowly opened his eyes. As the drapes slipped open, a shaft of sunlight pierced his eyes, causing him to groan in a low voice. “Why are you screaming?” He asked, sitting upright as he rubbed his sleepy eyes with the back of his hand. “I almost lost my ears because of your scream. Next time, I won't like it if you do such a thing.”“Who the

Third Point Of ViewLogan made sure that he corrected that impression before the lady went out, spoiling his name. He had to take care of that because no one else would. He let out a loud sigh as he pushed the door open, leaving the room completely.Immediately he was gone, and out of sight; Sophia let out a frustrated sigh, shoveling her fingers deep into her raven-black hair.Her eyes burned severely as she tried to hold back her tears. This was too hard to do as her tears already forced their way out of her eyes and they rolled down her cheeks so freely.Snapping back to reality, Sophia swung into action and wore her clothes, she grabbed her bag and ransacked it thoroughly to make sure that nothing was missing. Not even a pin because that man to her, looked like a thief. No matter what he said, he still looked like a pauper to him and paupers love stealing because they can't get that worth of money in their lifetime. When she was done, Sophia walked towards the door and was abou
GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD Chapter 3
Third Point Of ViewLogan sat in the dimly lit sitting room of his small apartment which was poorly furnished, staring blankly at the wall.His life was literally in shackles and he can't seem to get himself off it. There were some things he wished that never happened. Deep down, he wished some things never happened. Why was he here in the first place? Some questions were better left unanswered. Logan was seated like a depressed man who just lost everything he had. He had just returned from the hotel where everything went out of control. He had spent the night with Sophia, a woman he barely knew but had saved from a horrific situation and what did he get? Not a single thank you but some constant heart wrenching words that reminded him of his situation. His mind could not stop wandering about as the events of the past night still kept him on his toes. “Life is not worth living. If this is how my life is going to be, why don't I fucking give up and end things al” He ranted to himse
GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD Chapter 4
Third Point Of View There was a life on the line and it was not Logan's. It was the life of the person he loved and cherished the most. Time was running fast and as each second passed, the only thing he could think of was how slowly the old man was dying. Logan was going crazy. His shirt was buttoned half way and his hair was not brushed neatly. He jumped into the next taxi he saw, pleading with the driver to take him to the hospital whose address he had.His heart kept pounding greatly in his chest that he feared his rib cage was about to burst open. Every second felt like a lifetime as he imagined the worst. What if he dies immediately he gets to the hospital?He kept on uttering all sorts of prayers that the driver thought he was a mad man. Was this how he was going to live his life? He was so worthless and poor to the extent that he had nothing to offer in return to the man who had saved him from death!In split seconds, he arrived at the hospital and he burst through the ho

Third Point Of View“Meet me at the cafe downtown.”That was the next thing Logan heard from Sophia and without thinking twice, he did as he was told. Logan was not sure what all these were all about but it didn't matter. It didn't hurt to find out especially now that a lot of things have happened in the last few days. The only call he could answer was the call that would bring in money and this was that call. Logan arrived at the café and his mind was still occupied with his old man, Mr. Lee who was still at the hospital. The thought kept crushing him countless times and he became so impatient to hear the deal that Sophia had for him. As he stepped inside the cafe, he looked around, trying to catch a glimpse of sophia. Finally, he was able to spot Sophia sitting at a small corner table. He had not seen her since their night together, and part of him didn’t want to be reminded of that messy encounter. But here they were. They met again even after she said she didn't want to see
GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD Chapter 6
Third Point Of ViewLogan made the wildest decision he never thought he would have—agreeing to get married to a girl he'd just met. After the phone call, they agreed to meet at a nearby coffee shop to sign the contract, but Logan couldn't wave off the feeling of unease seeping into skin. His gaze lingered on Sophie who sat from across him, sipping her coffee elegantly. She placed the mug on the round table, tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ears and leaned closer, “Relax.” she chuckled, pulling out a brown envelope from her bag, “It's just a year; there's nothing to lose. And also, you'll be five million dollars richer. I'm doing you a favor here.” Logan rolled his eyes, tapping his feets on the ground impatiently. With each second that passed by, it felt like a hundred years. Images of Mr Lee chained to that sick bed kept flashing through his mind, robbing him of his peace. He weaved his hands through his hair, taking a long, steady breath, “can we just get this over with
GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD Chapter 7
Third Point Of ViewBright lights illuminated Apex city's largest hall. The Rivens family went all out this time. Soft, mild music lingered in the air, as distinguished guests made their way in. The melodious sound of laughter, soft whispers, and the clinking of glasses gave the air some cheery vibes, and Logan couldn't tear his eyes away from the magnificence of the whole place. He was clad in a dashing tuxedo from one of the largest fashion brands in the world. His wavy brown hair was styled like he could be on a magazine cover, and his eyes held so many emotions in them, capable of drawing anyone in with a single glance. His thin fingers were loosely wrapped around a glass of wine, his hawk-like gaze scrutinizing the young woman before him, “Where are your family members?” He asked, his honey toned voice blending with the mild music. Sophie tightened her grip on her purse, letting out a soft sigh, “they'll be out in a few minutes. “ she then turned to face him, her red lips givin
GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD CHAPTER 8
Sophia could almost feel the ground beneath her open as her grandmother and mother kept raining insults on Logan.How could she have forgotten about such an important thing as assigning a wealthy family name to Logan—one that would make her family proud of her decision, but Logan had ruined everything, and it’ll end up costing her more than she had even imagined.“A common employee getting married to Sophia Riven,” Sophia heard from behind her, and turning around, it was Ethan.“How could you stoop to this? This is really embarrassing for the Riven family, you know,” Ethan scoffed.Logan could no longer take the insults that members of the Riven family were raining at him. He felt like walking away but he knew he couldn’t. He was now bound to the contract he had signed with Sophia, and if this was the welcome party he had received from them, it was glaring that the next one year of his life would be a living hell.“This is the man that your daughter decided to marry in the place of Th

CHAPTER 34
The weight of the leather-bound journal in Chloe’s hands felt heavier than it should have. It wasn’t just paper and ink—it was history, secrets, and, most importantly, danger. She ran her fingers over the worn cover, her mind already racing with questions. The old man’s words still echoed in her ears."Because it’s already too late."Chloe swallowed hard and flipped through the pages. The journal was filled with names, dates, and locations, but her eyes were drawn to a single phrase repeated in different entries—Red Canon of the Canon Forte.She glanced up at Mr. Buma, who watched her with weary eyes. "Tell me what you know. What exactly was Canon Forte? Was it also part of the blood moon?"Mr. Buma sighed, rubbing a hand over his bearded chin. "Canon forte was indeed an extension of Red Blood. A final phase. The real reason behind everything we did."Chloe frowned. "Final phase of what?"Mr. Buma hesitated. Then, he pulled a chair and sat down, gesturing for Chloe to do the same. "Ye
CHAPTER 33
The streets were quieter than usual as Chloe left the train station, the conversation with Max still replaying in her mind. The weight of the folder in her hands felt heavier than it should, as if the information inside carried something more than just words—something dangerous.Sliding into the back seat of her car, she barely acknowledged the driver, a middle-aged man with a thick beard and sharp eyes that flicked toward her in the rearview mirror. His silence was almost unsettling, but she didn’t care."Drive," she ordered, her voice clipped.The car rumbled to life, rolling away from the abandoned station. The shadows stretched long across the pavement, the streetlights flickering weakly as if struggling to stay alive.Then, her phone vibrated.She tensed, pulling it from her coat pocket. A blocked number.For a moment, she hesitated. Then, she answered.“Ms. Chloe,” a deep, raspy voice greeted her.She felt her pulse spike. That voice—it was familiar, yet distant, like an echo fr
CHAPTER 32
Across the sprawling city, in a dimly lit office that smelled of old paper and burnt coffee, Detective Max sat at his desk, absently tapping his fingers against the thin file marked “CONFIDENTIAL.” The ticking of the clock on the far wall was the only sound accompanying him in the late hour, a relentless reminder that time was slipping away.Three days.That was all the time Ms. Chloe had given him to find something—anything—on a man named Logan.Yet after hours of combing through databases, sifting through every Logan recorded in New York's system, Max was no closer to an answer than when he’d started. There were plenty of men with that name, but none matched the peculiar details Chloe had given him. Logan wasn’t just an ordinary man. He fought like a trained operative, moved like a shadow, and disappeared just as easily. That alone set him apart from the rest.Max rubbed his temples, pushing away the headache forming at the base of his skull. His once steaming cup of coffee sat cold

Logan had barely stepped into the hall when he felt the weight of a hundred eyes land on him. The grandeur of the Rivens Health Care Foundation inauguration was nothing short of spectacular—chandeliers glowed with golden light, the scent of expensive champagne filled the air, and the chatter of New York’s elite hummed in the background. Yet, the moment he arrived, the warmth in the room seemed to shift.The whispers started almost immediately."Look at him—finally decided to show up.""Late as usual. Sophia deserves better.” “I still don’t understand why Sophia will settle for someone like this.”"He barely fits in here. A complete psycho.”Logan ignored the murmurs, but his stomach twisted. He wasn’t one to care about appearances, but tonight, the judgment weighed heavier than usual. Maybe because deep down, he was already beginning to accept the fact that he was nothing but a complete outsider in this world of wealth and influence—a world Sophia seemed to glide through effortlessly
CHAPTER 30
Sophia had checked the time on her wristwatch severally, wondering what had kept Logan so busy all day that he had forgotten that he ought to be by her side at the inauguration ceremony of the Rivens health care foundation.At first she had thought he was probably busy with work and had decided not to disturb him with calls, but as the guests started arriving one after the other, she became so angry. She remembered telling Logan not to stay too long as his presence was needed in validating her position as the new chairman of the foundation."The number you're trying to call is currently switched off, please try again later," came the repeated response from the network provider as she tried several times to reach Logan, and that made her anger boil even more.Just when she was about losing it, the door opened and Logan walked in."Where have you been?" She didn't even give room for any welcome greetings.********Ms. Chloe spent the entire day thinking about Logan and the fight that ha
CHAPTER 29
The leader of the loan sharks, a tall man with quite an intimidating look, stormed over to the table where Jaime and Logan were seated. He had been looking everywhere for Jaime and was glad to receive his call earlier that day. Coming over to the meet with him wasn't to take back the money that Jaime was owing them, but to deal ruthlessly with him.When he saw Jaime with Logan, he had interpreted it as Jaime coming over with someone who'd fight alongside himself, and it sparked up the anger that had been boiling deep within him.Without a second thought, he slammed his fist on the table, causing glasses to rattle, and grabbed Jaime by the collar, yanking him forward.Jaime became speechless, not knowing what to do as the leader of the loan sharks shook him violently hitting his back against the hard wall. “You are tired of running, huh? You thought you could hide forever, huh?" The leader of the loan sharks growled, his eyes filled with rage like he was about to suck the life out of
CHAPTER 28
Logan could see what Ms. Chloe was doing, trying to flatter him with words so he'd let his guard down. But he wasn't going to give room for it. He had made it clear to her that he was a married man, and the fact that his marriage contract with Sophia was still on, he didn’t want to do anything that will appear as a breach of contract. Moreover, he was really in love with Sophia, and couldn’t help but wish she’d see it for herself and reciprocate the love."Thank you," Logan replied, still not giving Ms. Chloe was trying to get from him. “Are you always like this, Mr. Logan?” Ms. Chloe asked.At that point, all he wanted was for her to just let him be. He wished there was a way he could reach out to Jaime to have the meeting taken to another venue, but he knew it was already almost becoming too late, and he didn't want Jaime to be in trouble with the loan sharks once again because of his own personal stuffs.Just then, Jaime entered, his sharp gaze immediately spotting Logan and givi
Chapter 27
Logan settled into a corner booth at the bar where he had agreed to meet up with Jaime, scanning the room as he waited for Jaime whom he hadn’t seen nor heard from since he moved in to start living with the Rivens.Jaime had called him immediately after he had dropped the call with the strange number that had called him, and had told Logan that he was currently in need of some money as certain loan sharks he had taken money from were looking for him, and had threatened to deal with him if he doesn’t pay back what he owed them.“How much is the money?” Logan had asked.“It’s $20,000,” Jaime had informed him.“Alright Jaime, just call up the loan sharks and ask them to meet up with you at the upscale restaurant in town. I’ll be there waiting for you to help you settle your debt,” Logan had promised, owing to the fact that he still had Sophia’s debit card with him which she had dropped earlier while being harassed.Logan knew just how ruthless these loan sharks usually operated and since
CHAPTER 26
Sophia, shaken and trying to steady her breath, looked up at her rescuer. In the dim streetlight, his face was mostly obscured by the cap, and his voice was gruff and unfamiliar.She couldn't help but wonder who this brave man was that had showed up at the time when she really needed someone to come to her aid, as she couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if he hadn't shown up.A thought had first occurred to her that it might be Logan, but she wasn’t so sure anymore. The jacket and the cap that he was wearing had pushed away the thought, as he couldn’t remember Logan having such a jacket and such a cap.She had met those guys who had tried to molest her while she was waiting for a cab to pick her up to the venue of the pool party. They had pulled up in front of her in their flashy car seeing how hot she was looking and had offered to give her a lift, seeing that they were heading in the same direction.Sophia, seeing it as an opportunity to show off that she was being adm
