The following morning, Logan decided to visit the gym. He had noticed the atmosphere within the Riven’s mansion, and it was obvious that no one wanted him there, especially Sophia. Feeling that he needed somewhere to cool off for a moment, Logan decided to visit the gym. Arriving at the gym where the familiar scent of sweat and metal invigorated him, Logan slipped into his workout routine, hoping to burn out a few calories. But just as he moved through his workout, he felt the need to try out something new, something different from the usual he was used to. Sometimes, it seemed to baffle Logan why he liked the gym. He had always found the workouts there interesting and every time he visited, he always seemed to steal the show. Eventually, he noticed a particular machine which appeared quite catchy and felt the need to give it a try. From the way the machine appeared, Logan could almost feel it was a specialized piece that targeted his core, and he was eager to incorporate it into his routine. As he approached the machine, he noticed a massive, muscular guy standing beside it, flanked by two friends who were equally imposing. The man turned to Logan, his expression a mix of arrogance and intimidation. “Hey, you,” the big guy said, a smirk forming on his lips. “You might want to find another machine. This one’s ours.” Logan paused, his brow furrowing. He wasn't ready for any troubles especially not now that his life was a completely out of mess because of the deal he had entered with Sophia Riven. “I was here first,” he replied, keeping his tone calm and assertive. “I just need to finish my set.” The big guy chuckled, glancing back at his friends. “Doesn’t matter. I don’t see a sign that says ‘reserved for losers.’ So why don’t you just step aside?” Logan felt a surge of frustration wondering what the big guy was up to. He had arrived at the machine first and, the big guy only got there after him. As a matter of fact, the machine had been lying there unused until he decided to make it use of it. He took a deep breath as he tried to communicate responsibly to the big guy, with the hope that he'd be mature enough to reason with him. “You know what? Just let me finish my warm-up, and I’ll be out of your way.” Before he could start again, the big guy stepped closer, blocking his path. “I said, get lost,” he repeated, his voice dropping low and menacing. For a moment, Logan paused, wondering why the big guy and his men were so insistent on using that particular machine, especially with other options available. "Why this machine, though? There are others," Logan asked, genuinely curious. “You guys have been in the gym before I walked in, and none of you bothered to make use of the machine. Why is it that it was when I decided to make use of it that you also wanted to make use of it?” The big narrowed his eyes. "Does it matter? I said we’re using it!" He yelled, raising the attention of every other person in the gym. Sensing the rising tension, Logan chose the path of least resistance. With a nod, he walked away, heading toward another machine. But the men didn’t seem satisfied with his compliance. "Boss, are you just going to let him get away with this?" One of the big guy's men said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Yes boss, no one ever stands to challenge you. I think we need to teach that dude a lesson," another of the big guy's men added. The big guy's eyes darkened, and he muttered something under his breath, acknowledging the suggestion from the two men. They were right, because no one had ever dared to stand up to him in the gym, and the fact that Logan had dared to question him had struck a nerve. "You," the big guy said, pointing at the first man. "I want you to teach that dude a lesson. You need to let him know that I'm the boss here and no one dares looks at me in the eye." "Yes boss," the man replied, taking a courteous bow as he left to carry out the big guy's order. Logan had found a similar machine, and was carrying out his routine on it, when he noticed one of the men approaching him. He was as tall as the big guy with almost the same body build up. He stood in front of Logan, towering over him with a glare that promised trouble. He was hoping to intimidate Logan with his burly figure and menacing look, but Logan didn't seem to be moved at all. “Hey,” the man growled, his voice threatening. “You think you can talk back to our boss and just walk away like that? That’s not how things work around here. You need to learn some manners or else we’ll be forced to teach you the hard way,” Logan sighed, wiping his brow with his towel. He didn't want any troubles, but looking at the man in front of him, he could tell that he had come for real trouble. "Let's just forget about what happened earlier. I already allowed you guys to use the machine, so I believe, we're good." The man crossed his arms, as angry breaths escaped his nostrils. “You don’t get to decide that. We call the shots here and every other person obeys. Understood?" Logan took a step back, trying to keep his composure. "Look, I don’t want to escalate this. I already allowed your boss or whatever it is you call him, to use the machine. What else do you want?" "Did you just ask me that?" The man's anger flared as he stepped even closer, raising his fist. “I think I’m gonna teach you a lesson for trying to act tough.” "Look, I don't want trouble. Just allow me have my routine in peace. This is not the only thing I have to do throughout today." Logan replied, his own anger boiling up within him already. "If you say so," the man replied, pushing Logan violently, and clenching his fist. "Son of a....," the man's punch came fast, but Logan was quicker. He ducked just in time, and the man’s fist sailed through empty air. The momentum caused the man to stumble forward, losing his balance. With a loud thud, the man fell to the ground, sprawling awkwardly on the gym floor. The sound of laughter erupted around them. Other gym-goers, who had been minding their own business, couldn’t help but wonder what exactly had just happened. Some of the people who knew who the burly man was, were surprised wondering what guts Logan had to humiliate him publicly. No one has ever stood up to him nor his boss, and the fact that Logan did, made them wonder if he had the slightest idea of what could happen after then. Logan, not wanting things to get worse, took the opportunity to slip away. He hurried towards the restroom, hoping to buy himself some time and avoid any further confrontation. The burly man was still trying to get back on his feet, and it was the perfect opportunity to leave. As he reached the door, he heard the man shouting behind him. "You son of a bitch," The man, now red with embarrassment and anger, managed to scramble to his feet, his eyes blazing with fury. "I'll get you!"

In a dimly lit room, a shadowy figure stood facing the wall. He had a cigar in his mouth, with a black hat that was slightly tilted to the side. While he was there, thinking about all that has happened in to him in the last twenty seven years if his life, down to the last three years when he lost his most trusted soldiers to the cruel hands of death in the Red Canon operation, he heard someone knock."Come in," the shadowy figure ushered in the gentle man who stood at the door knocking."General," the gentleman acknowledged with a courteous bow as he walked into the dimly root. "One of my men said he spotted someone that looked like Malachi Volkov,""Are you sure about that?" The shadowy figure asked, his back still turned against the young man who had come to deliver the news to him."Yes General, and it might interest you to know that he's with Mr. Lee, which in a way proves that he's the one" The young man further added."Where did you spot them?"

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

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
