GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD Chapter 15
"You really want to know where your friend is?" Logan asked, avoiding the eyes of the second man who stood there grappling with fear of what could have been the reason why his friend was no where within sight.He was beginning to enjoy whatsoever was happening in the gum at that particular hour. Not once had he imagined that he could be that strong to take down such a bully. For some unknown reasons he could tell that there was something more to where he had gotten the strength from.The only place he had seen such things happening before were in the movies, and in most cases, such stunts were only pulled up by well-trained military personnel. What even seemed to surprise him the most, was the fact that the more the men threatened him, the less afraid he was of them."What the hell did you to him," the second man asked, trying as much as possible to make sure that Logan doesn't get to see through him that he was afraid.Logan pretended not to have heard him as he moved towards the sin
GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD Chapter 16
"Guys are you okay?" The boss shook the other two men, but there was no response from them, as the beating they had received from Logan had rendered them unconscious. Logan had really dealt with them in such a way that it’ll take them months of therapy to recover from the beating."That son of a bitch," the boss growled as he made an attempt to drag the two of them out of the rest room, his rage boiling heavily within him. Logan had crossed the boundaries and he wasn’t going to let him get away with it.But first, he had to help his men up. He had to find a way to help them, and if possible send for an ambulance to take them to the hospital. With so much struggling, he managed to drag them to the door, breathing heavily.Considering everything that had happened, he could tell that Logan wasn’t just an ordinary man. The way he had beaten up his men was suggestive of the fact that he must have been trained specially for combat.The gym suddenly fell abuzz with murmurs, as everyone was i

Logan couldn’t contain the anger that surged through him at the ridiculous request of Sophia who had called to have her lunch pack delivered at her place of work just because she had left it behind while hurrying for work that morning.Logan was greeted by the stewardess the moment he stepped inside the house, who subsequently delivered Sophia’s message to him.“Ma’am Sophia had asked that you bring her lunch pack to her office. Here it is,” She added as she handed over the pack to Logan.Just as Logan was about retreating to his room to get changed, Rosalia walked into the living room.“Good morning mother,” Logan greeted, only to be rudely dismissed by Rosalia.“I’m not your mother,”And as if that wasn’t enough, Augusta walked in, and her facial expression was worse than that of Rosalia’s.“What are you still doing here?” She barked at Logan angrily. “I thought Sophia asked you to bring her lunch pack to the office?”‘Yes, grandmother, that’s exactly what I’m about doing,” Logan re

CHAPTER 18"You really think I'm making this up?" Logan asked, dipping his hands into his pocket to pull out his phone. The insults from the guards were already getting him infuriated, and he wanted to prove to them that indeed, Sophia was his wife, even if the marriage was on the basis of a contract."What do you think you're doing?" The first man asked, surprised."Showing you proofs that Sophia Riven is my wife," Logan replied, showing the security guards pictures of him and Sophia together. It was their wedding photo, though taken just to make it contract valid that they were both really married. The guards' laughter abruptly died as they exchanged shocked glances, disbelief crossing their faces. Not in their wildest dreams had they imagined that Sophia as sophisticated and classy as she appeared to be will settle in marriage for someone like Logan."Wait, you're serious?" the taller guard said, squinting at the screen. “That’s really her?” He looked up at Logan, his earlier mock
GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD Chapter 19
Ms. Chloe sat down patiently in her office, waiting for the security guards to come in with Logan, until she heard a knock on the door. There was something about Logan that she just had suddenly pulled him towards her."You may come in," she replied, knowing fully well that it was exactly who she was expecting.The men stepped into the office, with Logan following behind. "This is the man you wanted to see ma'am," one of the guards said, stepping aside for Logan to step forward, who was still surprised as to why he had been summoned by this sophisticated looking lady.The security guards watched in surprise as Ms. Chloe let out a smile, which was something they rarely saw. The Ms. Chloe they all knew was a boss lady who was known for her strict, no-nonsense demeanor, always giving orders and very difficult to please.Chloe had found her way into the Riven’s holdings about a year ago, and her major aim was to take over everything that she felt belonged to her. Since she arrived at the
GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD Chapter 20
Sophia’s mind was racing as she sat behind her desk, staring blankly at the computer screen. Her fingers drummed nervously on the desk as she thought of Logan in Ms. Chloe's office. It felt like a nightmare, knowing that the one person who had always tried to sabotage her was now alone with her husband. Logan to her, might just be a figurehead of a husband, and there was really no basis for commitment in their marriage. But the fact that Ms. Chloe was already showing interest in him was already appearing to look like trouble was brewing around the corner. She remembered when Ms. Chloe first showed up in the company with her proposal to be a shareholder after promising to invest a fortune in the company. At that time, the grand patriarch of the Riven’s family, Norman Riven had just passed on, and the business was going through the lowliest point.Augusta Riven had no choice but to call for investors and that was how Chloe found her way into the business. But too bad, after she got in

"You heard me right, ma'am," Logan replied, with all sense of politeness. "I'd appreciate if you just let me attend to the business which had brought me here,”Ms. Chloe’s laughter echoed through the office, growing louder with every second. She wiped a tear from her eye and leaned forward, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "Oh, come on, Logan," she said. "Be serious. We both know why you’re here. You can't honestly expect me to believe you're here for 'business' dressed like that." She gestured at his plain clothes, clearly dismissing the idea."If you think I'm joking, then why don't you just let me leave now? I don't have to force myself to convince you if you don't want to believe," Logan replied, keeping his voice steady and firm. The fact that Ms. Chloe was trying to intimidate him was already getting him furious, and he just wished there was a way he could just walk out of her face without appearing rude. He had enough for one day, and at that point, all he wanted was to deliv
GRAND RETURN OF THE WAR LORD Chapter 22
"What the hell just happened in there?" Sophia immediately turned on Logan as they entered into her office, her frustration boiling over. Unable to take it any longer, she had barged into Ms. Chloe’s office.“Try to stop me from going in, and you might as well lose your job,” She had threatened the secretary as she made her way into the office, only to meet Ms. Chloe and Logan in a compromising situation—her hands on Logan’s chest with three of Logan’s top buttons off.“What the hell is going on here?” She had asked, and even if she didn’t want Ms. Chloe to find out that Logan was her husband, her actions had hinted Ms. Chloe that there was something going on between the two of them, and Sophia could be the wife that Logan had been telling her all along."What are talking about?" Logan asked, innocently, following Sophia behind. In a way he had made it appear to Ms. Chloe that the reason why Sophia had left the office angrily was because she had thought that she was taking her client

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

Logan stepped out of the house, flagging down the first cab he saw rolling by. Sliding into the back seat, he glanced at the driver, a middle-aged man with a worn baseball cap and a nice jacket."Where to, sir?" The driver asked.“I don't know if you know of any pool parties happening around here tonight?” Logan replied. He knew he had to try his luck as that was the only way he might be able to know where exactly he could find Sophia. It was not like him to be unusually worried, especially not about someone like Sophia who had always treated him like trash. But the feeling to just know where she had gone was just too intense that he couldn't shake it off.Sophia might be treating him like he was a nobody, but the fact that she was his wife made him feel a sense of obligation towards her, and the need to protect her.The cab driver raised an eyebrow, surprised by the unusual question but nodded. "Actually, yeah. I just dropped off a few ladies not too far from here at a big party b
Chapter 24
Logan stepped into the house just in time to catch Sophia just at the moment that she was about leaving the house. He just couldn't contain his surprise seeing her dressed in a tight, revealing outfit, the kind of dress he'd never had imagined her to wear.He blinked in surprise, glancing at her from head to toe, trying to process what he was seeing. For some reasons, he could almost tell that the grand matriarch Mrs. Augusta Riven wasn't in the house, because he knew she wouldn't allow her leave the house dressed in such a way.Mrs. Augusta may take sides with Sophia when it has to do with making her pampered and having her have her way, but he could almost bet it that this would have been an exception if she was at home to see her leave the house dressed in such a provocative manner.He just couldn't help the fear that gnawed within him, as he imagined what kind of Lady Sophia was, and why she couldn’t just respect the fact that she was now married to him, even if it was just for me
Chapter 23
The scar-faced boss managed to get his men finally granted bail from the police station after an unpleasant ordeal of being moved from the hospital to the police station. The beating his men had received from Logan and the humiliation that had accompanied it, stung so hard that the only thing he could think of at that point was how to make Logan pay for all that he had done.It was the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to him in all his years of being a bully whom everyone once feared. He hadn't expected that someone like Logan whom he had thought would not be able to lift his hand would be the one to deal with him and his men so mercilessly.They knew they were never in a position to visit the gym again, and it really came as a sting on their ego. Their years of dominance in the gym had finally come to an end, and they weren't going to let it slide without getting back at Logan.“We need to get back at him,” the scar–faced boss growled, as he slammed his fist on the table, send
