Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law The powerful 001
Logan really didn't expect his grandfather in-law to suggest that he start working in his company but then an assistant? Considering Logan's status, if his rivals finds out, it will become a problem for him but then, it's better than cleaning. Logan has already assured himself that all these will only last for a few months. Just for these months, he will let them do whatever they want. The said meeting ended after several admonishment and harassment. Being an assistant shouldn't be something that will be so hard for him, he will cope with it for the time being but he can't promise to be always available. "Are you really going to take up the work of an assistant?" Ava asked the moment the couple entered into their room. "Yes, it's better than becoming a cleaner or doing petty jobs that your family doesn't like, don't you think so?" he asked back. Ava didn't say anything further and just climbed the bed, covered herself with the blanket and turned to the other side. Since Logan is

The news of Hermes coming back to normal, restoring it's valuable data and starting to function again with good and stronger defense system was flying everywhere the next day on the news. Now that Alex David owes him, Logan felt satisfied, when the time comes, he will make him pay for his service. Logan doesn't need his money and that's a fact. Logan came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and a small one on his head to be used in cleaning his hair.When he got out, Ava was already awake. It is Saturday which means that there is no work for her and he is starting his new job as an assistant on Monday, Logan doesn't even know who he will be assisting or how the character of that person is. As long as it is not going to be his father in-law then, he can manage to work with any other person if he or she doesn't give him much trouble."Good morning" she greeted while stretching her body.

Seeing her Grandpa's reaction to what was sent, Ava stood up and went to him. "What are the papers about Grandpa? Why are your hands trembling?" she asked slightly collecting the papers from him of which he didn't refuse to leave them for her. When she collected it and tried opening the first paper that was wrapped, a sharp medium knife fell out, earning a scream from her and attracting the attention of the rest of the members. "What is this?" Ava's Dad questioned upon seeing the knife on the floor. She mustered up the courage with shaky hands and turned over the next paper which only had a single sentence. *Do not mistake me for my mask* "What does that even mean?" Mrs Hilton asked on seeing that and repeated the words. Nothing came to their minds at the moment. Meanwhile, Logan also stood up and went closer to them although he might be scolded but that didn't stop him from going there. He at least want to see the content of the letters too even though he has the idea what it i
Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law The other side of him
Logan drove off to his own mansion, it has been days since he went there. He miss the smell and everything he does there. Before he got there, he gave a call to Alfred to meet him there. He will think of his In-laws later when he is done with the job at hand. Right now, he need to start getting ready for the party in the evening. The same party Moore gave him an invitation card, Logan is on the special guests list. It is high time he met with James River! When he got to his house, Alfred was already waiting for him. "Good afternoon Blue" he greeted and got the door opened for him. As much as this place is big, the only employers Logan hired are cleaners and they don't stay in his mansion for any reason. They do their cleaning jobs and go back to their various houses. Since he has so much to protect, he doesn't want to have people in his house who might end up being his enemies underlings. Logan has learnt not to trust just anyone from his past experiences, if you allow a mistake t
Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law The real fun
Logan kept patting the young girl's back until she stopped crying and hiccuping. She broke away from the hug and stared at him before bowing her head. "He brutally took advantage of me everyday, my...private part will get a cut each time he is at it. He will force me to moan his name and and burn me with electric iron if I mistakenly shed a tear" she explained, her head down and her fingers were trying to help each other peel which first.Logan held her hand stopping her from getting herself injured. "It's okay, you don't have to think back to those horrible experiences. You are free now, you have a mum here, me and many other brother and uncle figures. You also have sisters in here now too, why don't you try to be happy first?" Logan said trying to convince her. "You are free to do whatever you want here, you can choose to leave too when you get much better, you can choose to go to school, learn a skill or better still, just play around. Whatever you want to do, we are ready to s
Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law The call; Nightmare
After walking around with James River introducing him to unnecessary people as one of his rich friends when they just met, Logan sighed in irritation. He is not here to be introduced to thieves who are likely to be just the same as James in terms of behaviour. Moore knew better than to find his own square root now. "Senator James, I think I need to have a word with you. We should pause with the introduction first and let your guests enjoy the party" Logan said, feigning a smile. "Is it important that it can't wait?" James asked and Logan nodded his head. "Okay, let's go to a more quiet place then, I like you Logan, you are so young and very wealthy. I will like you to be a role model to my son, he's such a hard nut to crack" he enthused with a brief laughter, paused and turned to Logan. "I have been wondering since you got here, what do you for a living?" he posed. "Well, I am the CEO of Blue Jay. I am also the co-owner of Beauty Cosmetics and I am equally the owner of Mirachos"
Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law Annul the marriage
Logan glanced at James who was bleeding from the punch and then at his phone ringing. "This is not the end James, I will see you again, probably when you are in prison" he waved his phone at him, walked to the door, got it opened and left. The call ended before he got outside but then, it started ringing again right after. Logan made sure he moved to a less noisy place before picking the call. "Hello Dad!" he called "Where are you this time around? Did you go walking the whole country again?" Charles Hilton fired in exaggeration. "I am on my way home already, I..." "I am not curious to know where you are, I have something much better to do with my time. What about the message I sent you earlier? Did you deliver it?" Charles Hilton cuts in. "Yes, it was the first thing I did after leaving the mansion. I didn't get to see the person in particular, I was told he was in a meeting so I gave it to his secretary" Logan lied smoothly. There's no way he'd be caught in his own lies. "Th
Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law Vulnerability
Ava stared at Logan for a while and then looked away. "What are you saying? You can't leave this marriage without my permission Logan, it was stated in the contract that the both of us have to consent to the divorce before it is valid unless the other person is ready to pay for emotional and physical damage" Ava explained and Logan almost laughed. Of course, he knew before saying that. He also knew that Ava will not let him go for any reason. If he wants to leave, he'd have to reveal his real self and then, pay the compensation. After getting what he wanted by asking question, he nodded his head, turned around and entered into the bathroom immediately he grabbed his towel. Logan must have been stupid to have entered this contract marriage, what was he thinking? At first, he was really curious about Ava but he doesn't think about that these days. Since he has already come this far, he will stay for a while and then leave. Just a little while! He spent about half an hour in the bath

New Beginning
One month later...It has been a month since the demise of Grandpa Hilton. He left a note blaming himself for everything that happened and asked Charles Hilton and Ava for forgiveness including Logan. In his letter, he stated that he wouldn't be happy if he lived knowing that he wouldn't have a good relationship with his son again and their family name was already in the mud because of him.His death was a surprise to Logan but it didn't hurt him as much as his family. Maybe it was his way of paying for his sin, Logan didn't have to kill him, he died on his own."You are going to see sister-in-law today?" Daryl asked as Logan sat down at the dining table with them. Logan nodded his head. After Valentina and her father left, Logan has been managing his companies as the CEO. He goes to work like every other boss and does his responsibilities at the office. Valentina became a good friend of his before they left although she didn't stop being flirtatious with him. They talk on the phone

Unexpected death
Logan was in the bathroom for close to an hour, he just stood under the shower and allowed the cold water to pour on his body. He turned off the tap and came out dripping wet in a towel.He dried himself, changed into his pajamas and climbed the bed while checking his mail. Logan restored his old account with the name "001" and also made it public. He knew that people were still looking for his talent up till this moment and it won't take them time to start getting in touch with him again. He checked his inbox, just like he predicted, messages were waiting for him in his inbox. Two were from the company Ryan was supposed to restore their systems and websites before Logan hacked into it and uploaded those pictures and videos while three more were from different companies. He opened the first two messages from those companies, they were asking for his help promising to give him any amount he wanted as long as those things could be removed with an explanation so that their companies

Apologies, forgiveness and a request
By the time Logan got home, everyone was already having dinner. "You are late Blue, have you had dinner?" Daryl asked upon seeing Logan entering into the kitchen. "Not yet, maybe later" he replied and grabbed a bottle of water to drink. "What's the difference between later and now? You might even forget to eat later, so why don't you join us now let's have dinner together. Come on" Daryl persuaded. Seeing everyone's attention on him, Logan felt defeated and sent to sit at the table with them. The maids served his food and he began eating. "How was your first day? Did the lady trouble you?" Daryl questioned. He'd be the only one who would always bombard Logan with unending questions that no one else would. "I don't even want to talk about it, I have to do it just for a year" Logan replied and everyone on the table began coughing. "A year?" Alfred blurted out the question. Realization dawned on Logan and his mouth curved into an 'O' His thoughts were being invaded even as he was

Take her back
"I need to take this call" Logan raised his phone in the air. Valentina nodded and stood up from his chair to a more quiet place with his brows furrowed in surprise. Just how fast does he recover? It was just yesterday or two days back that Logan told Doctor John about the injection."To what do I owe this surprise call from you, Mr Hilton Gardener?" Logan called. He could hear the steady breath of Grandpa Hilton from the other end of the phone. His breath was steady but a little ruffled. A"Logan" Grandpa Hilton called in a faint tone, Logan barely managed to hear his name. "I am Mr Weston to you, I am no longer your grandson-in-law so stick to formalities when talking to me" Logan fired. If there is anyone he hates most in the Hilton family, that will be Grandpa Hilton. He is the most dark-hearted person among them. "Why did you call me? Do you want more of the injection? Or are you sad that you haven't seen me in days?" Logan mocked. Grandpa Hilton let out a deep sigh. It was obv

A call
Logan started at Valentina as if she just said something impossible, he was not sure if he heard her right or probably, he was probably the one reading meanings to it. "What?" He queried. "I am very certain you heard what I said anyway. I want us to be friends, can't I ask for that much?" Valentina questioned feeling disappointed. "Why will you want to be friends with me? For what reason?" He threw the question at her. There should be no reason she would want to be friends with her, they are total strangers who are meeting for the second time today. "Because I want to communicate with you, maybe if we are friends, you will talk more" Valentina gave her reason. Logan nodded his head without saying anything. Right from childhood, he never had any friends. He was the type of kid that everyone avoided because of his physical strength. He usually beats people who find him trouble without giving them another chance to do that again. That made a lot of people his age stay far away from

Let's be friends
Logan had to turn back to see who shot the gun. The gun was shot to the ceiling Andrea, it was just to scare Kelvin and it worked. He laid down flat on the floor together with his sun. Logan walked up to the little boy, picked him up from the floor, and smiled widely at him. "What is your name?" Logan questioned. "Jesse" The boy answered in a baby accent, he couldn't even pronounce well."Jesse" Logan repeated it with a nod. He took a sweet from his pocket and handed it to him then turned to Kelvin with a smirk."I am curious to know how you will react if I pull a bullet into your son's skull right now. He will die because of your stupidity. Don't blame me when that happens" Logan threatened knowing very well that he couldn't do that. "Please don't hurt my son, I am sorry I will pay back your money now" Kelvin pleaded. Everyone in his family will abandon him if anything happens to Jesse because of him."Ah! I thought you said you didn't have the money to pay babe but now you have

Bodyguard
"What do you say Blue? Do you want to be my daughter's bodyguard?" Mr Valdez questioned. Logan had to agree by nodding his head. "Don't bring her with you next time, I will turn down your request then Mr. Valdez" Logan retorted plainly. He only accepted because it was the first time he was asking him for personal help. If it were to be another person, Logan would have disagreed immediately. "Thank you Blue, I promise I won't bring her along again. You can start coming from tomorrow, I will reward you hugely" Mr Valdez excitedly mentioned. Of course, Logan is already aware of that. No other client pays more than Mr Valdez regardless of the kind of work carried out for him. "Is that all for now?" Logan pointed out. "Oh yes, but I would love you to have something before you leave. We ordered lunch not quite long ago, I am sure you haven't eaten. You always forget to eat Blue" Mr Valdez began calling out to his Valentina before Logan could say anything. "Give him food to eat before

"There is one thing I hate, that is making me repeat myself. Do you not hear the question I just asked? Alex David?" Logan called as he touched his nose in annoyance. Logan entered his car and sat down. "I am sorry Sir but I don't have the video any longer, someone broke into my home and took it away. I haven't been able to reach him after then, I promise you, give me more time and I will get it for you" Alex pleaded. "Do you think I have the time to be waiting for you? I have other things to do than waste my time on you. You don't have to worry about it anymore, just prepare for your funeral because you will end up taking your life when I am done with you" Logan promised. He ended the call right after that without giving Alex the room to speak again just like he did the last time. He dropped his phone and drove out of the vicinity. He didn't get to know the main reason why Ava wanted to see him because he spoke of her past. She didn't request to talk with him just to apologize to

Shame and embarrassment
Logan tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for her to speak but didn't hear anything from her. Ava just stared down while fidgeting and opening and closing her mouth like someone who is lip-syncing. She was truly scared for some reasons Logan wasn't sure about. The old Ava wouldn't hesitate to say anything to him with her little smart mouth, where did that Ava go to? Has the fact that their lives are not the same anymore sunk into her brain and changed her personality? Although it's odd, if anything, Logan never thought that Ava would change being her because she grew up that way. "I have other things to do Miss Hilton" Logan added. He checked his time to see that half an hour had passed. Ava's heart sank deeper in disappointment as he heard him call her by her surname. He is drawing the kind between them for her to know her limit. "What...do you want to drink? I will go and get it for you" She stuttered which made Logan baffled. Ava wants to order a drink for her. That's very
